Chapter 155

However, if I really arrange someone else, then my relationship with Leader Ye and all the favors I had before might be consumed.

Because, Leader Ye allowed him to decide on the director candidate himself, which was actually a favor to him.

Now, he took the initiative to propose that Hua Haodang be the director. Not only did this not use up the favor of Leader Ye, but it also made him trust himself more.

"Okay, boss, I'll go back to the meeting now."

"Well, go ahead. Bring Xiao Ning back to visit more often when you have time."

Leader Ye said with a smile.

You should know that Ye Xiaoning already has a partner, but Mr. Ye still asked Li Jiandong to bring her back.

It can be seen that in his heart, Li Jiandong's status is probably slightly higher than that of his son-in-law.

After leaving the department, Li Jiandong returned to the steel rolling mill and immediately sought out Hu Haodang and Liu Haizhong.

The two men came to the office and closed the door, and Li Jiandong spoke to them directly.

"Lao Hu, Lao Liu, I called you here today to discuss something with you."

"I just went to a meeting at the ministry, and the leaders gave clear instructions to set up a management committee in our factory. Of course, it's not just our factory, other factories are the same."
"You are all leaders of the factory. You have also felt the recent situation outside. This management committee was established for this reason. What are the main tasks? They are all related to this."

"The newly established committee will be at the same level as our factory. On the surface, it will be under the direct leadership of me, the factory director, but in fact it will report to its superiors separately."

"I have recommended the two of you to serve as the director and deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee in front of the leadership. Haodang will be the main person in charge, and Lao Hu, you will serve as Haodang's deputy."

"Now, I want to hear your two opinions. If there are no objections, I will write a report and submit it."

When Liu Haizhong heard Li Jiandong's words, he became excited on the spot.

What does it mean that the management committee is at the same level as the steel mill? That means the director of the management committee is also a leader at the same level as the mill director.

If he were the deputy director, it would be equivalent to the level of deputy factory director.

This is definitely a promotion.

So, Liu Haizhong said without thinking: "Director Li, I am willing to follow your instructions. No matter what task you assign to me, I, Liu Haizhong, will guarantee to complete it beautifully."

Li Jiandong nodded. "Okay, since you have no objection, Lao Liu, is your deputy director decided?"

"Old Hu, what about you?"

Li Jiandong looked at Hu Haodang again.

However, Hu Haoteng's answer surprised him a little.

"Director Li, to be honest, I don't really want to be in charge of this committee. Working in the security department is fine. How about you find someone else?"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.

Then he quickly said:

"Director Li. If Lao Hu is unwilling, then I will take on this responsibility."

Liu Haizhong was very excited.

If he were really allowed to be the director of each committee, he would directly become a factory director and be on par with Li Jiandong.

This is equivalent to directly upgrading two levels.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, Hu Haodang was only at the same level as him before. Since Hu Haodang can be the director, then Liu Haizhong can certainly do it too.

Li Jiandong glanced at him.

"Old Liu, you go back first. After the committees are established, I will hold a special meeting to promote the names for you."

"Well...Okay, Director Li, I'll go back first. Please think about it. I have the confidence and determination to take on the work of the entire association."

When Liu Haizhong saw this, he understood that Li Jiandong didn't want him to be the official.

Although he still wanted to fight for it, he was afraid of making Li Jiandong unhappy, so he had to give up temporarily.

"Okay, I understand. You go first."

You waved your hands and sent Liu Haizhong away.

Then he said to Hu Haodang, "Old Hu, now we are alone, tell me what you really think."

Without outsiders around, Hu Haodang no longer hid anything.

Tell the truth to Li Jiandong.

"Director Li, to be honest, Xiao Ning has talked to me about this in the past two days, and we have discussed it. What is the purpose of this management committee? Isn't it to offend people? I know you let me be the director because you want to promote me, and maybe Xiao Ning's father also has some intentions here. But, to be honest, I would rather not be a leader, and I don't want to be scolded behind my back."

Li Jiandong nodded and understood a little.

Said to Hu Haodang.

"Old Hu, you're right. The nature of the management committee is indeed the same as you thought, and Xiao Ning's father did have some ideas about this matter."

"However, Lao Hu, you have to know that although the nature of the management committee is certain, the results will be somewhat different if it is led by different people. The reason why I want you and Liu Haizhong to lead this department is that I hope that under your leadership, our factory can be less chaotic."

"You are the only people I trust in this factory. If you don't take the position of director, who do you think is suitable? Can he be replaced? He is too young. He can manage some specific work of the transport team, but how can he be competent for such an important job as the management committee?"

"You know Daqing well. He doesn't have that many ideas and can't control such an important department. So, after thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable. If you really don't want to be scolded, then you can leave everything to the people below, and you just need to be responsible for controlling the overall situation, right?"

Li Huimin's words were from the bottom of his heart.

What he said is also true. Whether a department is good or bad depends mainly on its head.

Take the steel rolling mill for example. Under the leadership of Li Jiandong, didn’t it quickly rise to a higher level?

If it had continued to be led by Director Yang, it might still be a deputy-department-level unit now.

Li Jiandong also said that this appointment was also influenced by the opinion of Leader Ye.

Leader Ye is Ye Xiaoning's father and Hu Haodang's father-in-law.

How could Hu Haodang refuse this?

"I understand. Director Li, you are right. Since you let me be the director, I will do my best to solve problems for you and our factory and keep those unhealthy tendencies out of our factory."

"Okay, Lao Hu. I feel relieved when you say that."

After the discussion, Li Jiandong asked me to go back first.

Then, he started writing a report on the Management Committee and had it delivered directly to the Ministry.

The next day, Li Jiandong received a reply from Ye Da, who agreed to set up a management committee for the steel rolling mill, with Hu Haodang and Liu Haizhong appointed as the first director and deputy director respectively.

After receiving the official reply, Li Jiandong convened a team meeting.

People have been in a panic these days, and even the team members have been discussing it in private. Finally, when the meeting started, everyone was very nervous.

If Li Jiandong appoints a nonsense director, their lives will be difficult in the future.

Fortunately, the meeting went smoothly.

When they heard that Li Jiandong was going to appoint Hu Haodang as the director of the management committee, the team members all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Hu Haodang was quite strict when he was in the Security Department, he at least kept his word and never abused his power for personal gain or used it to bully others.

As for Liu Haizhong, although there had been unfavorable rumors about Liu Haizhong before, after all, he was just a deputy.

With Li Jiandong and Hu Haodang pressing him down, he couldn't cause any trouble.

The steel mill is setting up a management committee, and the same is true for the street side.

The only difference from the Zha Steel Plant is that the street management committee leaders are all appointed by their direct superiors, and some of them are even directly appointed by their superiors.

Sha Zhu, the director of the subdistrict office, does not have the power to appoint the director of the management committee, so the two departments are completely separated.

Even the personnel of various departments under the Management Committee and the composition of the patrol teams are all managed by the Director of the Management Committee who was parachuted in from above.

Suddenly, the wind on the street became even more violent.

The new director of the management committee has no one available around him.

As a result, many people began to recommend themselves to serve the new director.

Yi Zhonghai noticed this and thought it was a good opportunity.

Recently, the wind of time has been so strong that Yi Zhonghai has certainly felt the direction of the wind. If he can make good use of this wind, he might be able to make a comeback.

However, out of caution, Yi Zhonghai did not directly participate in the competition for the leadership of the management committee.

Instead, he found Yan Jiefang.

Recently, Yan Jiefang has been wandering around the streets all day because he has no job, and has almost become a street urchin.

Having a bad reputation is secondary. It is the inability to make money that gives Yan Jiefang a headache.

Without money, there is no way to find a partner, and without marriage and separation, there is no way to get a new job.

Without a new workstation, you can’t find a formal job, and without a formal job, you can’t make money.

This creates a vicious cycle.

Yan Jiefang also knew that this wouldn't work, but he had no idea how to solve this dilemma.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai came to the door. "Jiefang, have you heard? Our street has set up a management committee. The head of the committee was parachuted in from above, and there are no useful people around him. This is an opportunity for you."

Yi Zhonghai's words were so clear, but Yan Jiefang simply couldn't understand them.

He asked somewhat bewilderedly.

"Master Yi. What did you say? Why don't I understand? What is my chance?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed inwardly, he really looked down upon such stupid people.

But, is there anything else that can be done? Only when such fools are willing to accept his leadership can they be deceived more easily.
If it were someone smart, like Jia Dongxu or Yan Jiecheng, people wouldn't talk to him at all, and he wouldn't be able to cheat them even if he wanted to.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved.

He cleared his throat and said.

"What I mean is that the street management committee is a very powerful department. Now the leader is here, but there are no available people under him. If you recommend yourself and are selected, won't you have a formal job?"

"Moreover, as far as I know, this is not an ordinary job. After you join, even some leaders will bow and scrape when they see you. Your parents and other people in the hospital will no longer dare to look down on you."

"From now on, if anyone mentions you and your brother, they will say Yan Jiecheng is your Yan Jiefang's older brother. They will no longer say you are your brother's younger brother like before."

Yi Zhonghai was very good at talking, and he could make Yan Jiefang very happy with just a few words.

he asked excitedly.

"Really? Is this management committee so awesome? Then I'd like to give it a try."

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, "How can I lie to you? Young people should be aggressive."

The more Yan Jiefang listened, the more he felt that this was a good thing.

Of course, he had no other choice, he had been at home for several months, and everyone around him looked down on him.

Now that there is such an opportunity, how can Yan Jiefang hesitate?

I immediately decided to recommend myself to the management committee.

When we arrived at the gate of the Street Management Committee, there were so many people recommending themselves that a long line had formed at the gate.

Seeing this phenomenon, Yan Jiefang not only did not feel impatient, but instead thought that this was a good job. Otherwise, why would so many people compete for it?

But Yan Jiefang didn't notice it.

Most of the competitors here are big and strong young men, and a large number of them are street urchins.

Not only are these people unemployed, but they are also idle and causing trouble on the streets all day long.

It can be seen what kind of people are willing to work in a committee?
However, none of this matters to Yan Jiefang.

Now he just wants money, wants to stand out, and wants his family and friends to respect him.

I don't care what the reason is.

After waiting in line for a whole afternoon, it was finally Yan Jiefang's turn.

Originally, the people in the management committee looked down on Yan Jiefang. This man did not look very smart, nor was he particularly strong physically. He also had an inexplicable self-confidence, which made the people who selected him feel a little disgusted.

But when they heard that he was from Yard 40, the people in the management committee immediately looked at him differently.

After all, it is the advanced compound of the street.

Moreover, Li Jiandong’s reputation is not only in Nanluoguxiang, but he is also well-known in other streets.

This young man actually grew up under the leadership of Li Jiandong, so normally he should have good qualities.

Although the management committee is an offensive job, no matter what department it is, it values ​​talent.

Yan Jiefang was from Yard No. 40, and based on this alone, he was already superior to most of the other people competing for the job.

On the way back, Yan Jiefang looked very proud.

He had no idea that he was able to get the job because he came from Yard No. 40. He thought it was his ability that made the other party look at him with admiration.

"I know I'm no worse than my brother. So many people came to apply for this job in the street, and many were directly sent away, but I was directly appointed as the team leader. It seems that only my parents and Li Jiandong think that I'm not good enough. They really look down on others."

Yan Jiefang said angrily.

Soon returned to the courtyard.

Just after returning to the house, Yi Zhonghai came knocking on the door.

"Who?"

Yan Jiefang asked.

Yi Zhonghai's voice came from outside the door. "It's me. How's your work going?"

Yan Jiefang recognized the voice as Yi Zhonghai's.

He walked forward, opened the door and said.

"Do I even need to ask? With my abilities, I can easily get a job anywhere. Only Li Jiandong and the people in our courtyard deliberately excluded me. They made me look like nothing. After hearing about my abilities, the people in the street decided to hire me on the spot and directly made me the team leader."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Yan Jiefang to be so powerful. He also thought that if Yan Jiefang was not capable, he would spend some money to find a back door for him.

It turned out that Yan Jiefang was successful in his application, which saved him from spending more money.

"Okay, okay. Jiefang really didn't let me down. I knew you could do it."

Yi Zhonghai spoke these nice words without hesitation.

Anyway, it doesn't cost any money to wear a compliment.

Moreover, for a person like Yan Jiefang, such words would make him happier than treating him to a good meal.

Now that Yan Jiefang has joined the management committee, he can slowly implement his plan.

First, the first step.

The first thing is to find a way to mess up Courtyard No. 40.

Only the compound became chaotic, so chaotic that Li Jiandong couldn't handle it.

Only then did Yi Zhonghai have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos and slowly win over the hearts of the people in the compound.

Once he has enough people supporting him, it will be time for him to fight back.

the next day,
When Yan Jiefang came back from get off work at the Management Committee, he felt the enthusiasm of others towards him that day, which made him very proud.

He originally lived in the tavern dormitory building.

Because he was fired by Li Jiandong some time ago and threatened by He Daqing, he has been hiding outside these days, leaving early and returning late, and dares not contact anyone in the hospital.
Now, he has become the team leader and can finally "return home in glory".

On the way, Yan Jiefang bought half a pound of pork head and a bottle of white wine, and prepared to go home and have a couple of drinks.

As soon as I returned to the tavern dormitory building, I saw a tall girl standing in the middle of the dormitory compound.

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

Yan Jiefang asked from behind.

The girl in front turned around, and when Yan Jiefang saw her appearance, his eyes widened immediately.

This daughter is really beautiful.

Yan Jiefang had only seen such a beautiful girl once in his life, and that was Qin Huairu when she was young.

When Qin Huairu first married into the compound, Yan Jiefang was still a little boy. At that time, he felt that Qin Huairu was like a fairy who had descended to earth.

This woman today may not be as good as 18-year-old Qin Huairu, but her appearance is almost the same.

At least, she is a level more beautiful than other women in the compound.

Suddenly, Yan Jiefang's heart was moved.

Yu Haitang turned around and looked at the man who was looking at her infatuatedly. She frowned slightly and said, "I'm here to find my sister. Her name is Yu Li. Are you from this courtyard too?"

Yu Haitang lived in this courtyard for a period of time when he was a child.

However, as Yu Li got married and her parents left her a house, she moved back before she was ten years old.

She seldom came to the courtyard in recent years. When she saw Yan Jiefang, she felt that he looked familiar, but she couldn't tell who he was at first.

When Yan Jiefang heard him introduce himself, he was also surprised.

"It's Haitang. Don't you recognize me? It's you, brother Jiefang."

Yu Li is Yan Jiecheng's daughter-in-law, and he is Yan Jiecheng's younger brother.

Yu Li's sister is, of course, also her sister.

When Yu Haitang lived in the tavern, Yan Jiefang still lived in his parents' house. Although they were dozens of meters apart, they met quite often.

It's just that the girl has changed a lot.

Yu Haitang, who was dark and thin like a bean sprout at that time, has now transformed into a graceful and beautiful woman.
