Two years later, Li Jiandong retired. He was 63 years old at that time. Even if his leader didn't talk to him and asked him to step down, how many more years could he have continued to work?

So Liu Haizhong sighed.

Nodding and saying...

"Director Li, you are right. My age is indeed a problem. I should have retired earlier. I can retire at a higher level if I retire earlier."

Liu Haizhong said with a sigh.

If he had retired earlier and retired as deputy director of the management committee, his cadre rank at that time would have been deputy director.

Now he has returned to the position of trade union director, which means he is a section-level cadre.

The level has indeed dropped.

In fact, even if he was removed from his position, his cadre rank should not have been reduced. However, because the Management Committee is a special department and there are too many people who hate them, he was not only demoted this time, but also his cadre rank was lowered.
But even so, it is already pretty good. In comparison, there are many management committees whose leaders were directly dismissed.

That's really miserable.

"It's good that you understand what I mean. Now we should do our best to promote Jie Cheng. As long as Jie Cheng becomes the director of this steel mill, we can all have a dream in the future. After all, he was trained by us. Don't you think so, Old Liu?"

Li Jiandong persuaded Liu Haizhong.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong had also figured it out.

Regardless of whether Yan Jiecheng becomes the factory director or not, he has no place in Liu Haizhong's life, after all, he is too old.

Instead of this, it would be more appropriate to let Yan Jiecheng inherit Li Jiandong's position. After all, Yan Jiecheng is also a member of his own courtyard.

It will be convenient to ask him to do anything in the future.

And this is his achievement.

When Yan Jiecheng becomes the factory director in the future, won’t he have to give himself some face?

Liu Haizhong accepted it happily. "Director Li, you are right. I, Lao Liu, will always follow your lead. As long as you decide, I will do it."

Li Jiandong nodded.

After convincing Liu Haizhong, Li Jiandong did not go home, but went to see Yan Jiecheng instead.

Now his own path is being paved for him.

But it also depends on Yan Jiecheng's own efforts.

After all, he is the director of a steel mill, and he can't just find two people to praise him and push him to the top.

If Yan Jiecheng doesn't work hard.

None of the team members in the factory obeyed him. Even if he was forced to be promoted, he would not be able to support such a large factory.

Seeing Li Jiandong coming to see him, Yan Jiecheng was overjoyed. He quickly invited Li Jiandong into the house and brought a stool for him to sit on. "Master, why are you here? You rarely come to my house. Do you have any work arrangements?"

After following Li Jiandong for so long, Yan Jiecheng has become more mature now.

The ability to deal with people is also very good.

Li Jiandong seldom came to his house to see him, so he subconsciously knew that something big must have happened.

He waved his hand and asked Yu Li, who was idle nearby, to leave. After the door was closed, Li Jiandong spoke. "Xie Cheng, I think I will retire in two years. I just talked to Lao Hu, Lao Liu and Da Qing and we all agreed that we want you to inherit the position of factory director. But you also know that the steel mill is not ours. If you want to be the factory director, I can recommend you, but you have to work hard. There are about two years from now. Do you have the confidence to carry the work of the entire factory on your shoulders?"

Li Jiandong must get to the bottom of this matter.

Otherwise, what if so many people kept pushing Yan Jiecheng, and in the end Yan Jiecheng himself was not prepared at all.

Wouldn’t that be a misunderstanding?
Yan Jiecheng was very surprised to hear what Li Jiandong said, and asked anxiously, "Master, how come you suddenly want to retire when you are still so young?"

Li Jiandong said with a smile.

"Silly, what do you mean I'm still young? I'm already 57 years old this year, and I'll retire in four years. I've worked so hard for so many years, can't I retire two years earlier?"

After Li Jiandong said this, Yan Jiecheng realized that his master was already so old.

If he hadn't said it himself, Yan Jiecheng would have forgotten his age.

After all, he looks too young.

Scratching his head, Yan Jiecheng said, "Master, I didn't expect you to be 57 years old. If you really want to retire, I have the confidence to take over the steel mill."

Li Jiandong nodded.

As long as Yan Jiecheng has this intention.

Then they can proceed.

It takes two years for him to climb up from the position of transport team captain to at least the position of deputy factory director, and he needs to be given several months in advance to allow him to achieve some results as deputy factory director.

Otherwise, how many deputy directors would there be in the steel mill? Especially after adding two machinery factories, the number of deputy directors in the steel mill has now reached six.

It is not so easy for Yan Jiecheng to stand out from these six people.

"Okay, since you have this determination, I feel relieved. Starting from tomorrow, you just work hard, and I will help you with the rest." After Li Jiandong said this, he stood up and prepared to leave. Yan Jiecheng followed him and sent him outside.

After everyone left, Yu Li came over from a distance.

After closing the door, he asked Yan Jiecheng, "Jiecheng, what did Director Li come to talk to you about? Is he going to assign you some work? You won't be like your senior brother, who has to go on a business trip for several years?"

Yu Li was talking about Jia Dongxu.

The last time Jia Dongxu went to Jilin and Liaoning, he stayed there for 4 years.

Although she was promoted two levels after she came back, it was still very hard for Liang Ladi to take care of the children at home alone.

The key is that the distance is so far that the feeling of missing is unbearable.

In comparison, Yu Li hopes that her man can work safely as a transport team captain in a steel rolling mill, and even if he does not get promoted, he should not be away for too long.

However, Yan Jiecheng's next words made Yu Li very excited.

"Wife, it's a good thing that my master came to see me this time. I can continue to improve without having to travel. He plans to let me take over his job, did you know?"

"Take over? Take over what?"

Yu Li asked blankly, "Your master is the factory director, and you are just a transport team leader. Can you take over his job as factory director?"

Yu Li didn't understand.

Although the captain of the transport team is already a high-ranking officer.

But compared with the director of a steel mill, there is still several levels behind him.

Yan Jiecheng said excitedly...

"Yes, it's just as you think. My master wants me to succeed him as the factory director. He plans to train me in the next two years, so he came to ask me if I am determined. Wife, I want to be the factory director."

Yan Jiecheng said excitedly.

If someone said something like this to him, saying that they would support him to become a factory manager, he might just smile and think that others were just promising him a lot.

But if it was Li Jiandong who said this, the result would be completely different.

Over the years, Li Jiandong has never made any big promises to others.

Basically everything he said came true in the end.

Since he said he would support me to be the factory director.
Then it was almost certain that he would be the factory director.

Yu Li also knew Li Jiandong's ability, and she was quite excited to hear her man say that. She jumped onto Yan Jiecheng's body, hugged his neck and said excitedly.

"Really? That's great! It's finally your turn to get promoted. When you become the factory director, you will be the most promising person in our factory."

In the past few years, Jiandong has been promoting people in the institute, such as Yang Xue.

Now he has joined the leadership team of Zhan Steel Plant.

Over the years, Yan Jiecheng has been the captain of his transport team for more than 10 years.

Today I can finally continue to make progress.

After returning to find the steel mill.

Li Jiandong also found some team members who were close to him. These team members of the steel rolling mill were all promoted by Li Jiandong.

When they heard Li Jiandong say that he wanted to train Yan Jiecheng, they were all convinced.

After all, Yan Jiecheng is Li Jiandong's apprentice, and has been a member of the team for more than 10 years. He can be regarded as an old leader in the steel rolling mill.

They would all be convinced if he were to be the factory director.

But nearly half of the leadership team members were arranged from other leaders and were not on the same front as Li Jiandong. However, these people did not need to worry.

They belong to different leaders.

If they fight alone, they will definitely not be a match for Li Jiandong.

What's more, after Bi Da came back this time, he was not only reinstated but also promoted to a higher level.

With the support of the big leaders behind the scenes, other leaders cannot cause any trouble.

So in the following period of time, Li Jiandong began to support Yan Jiecheng. It took him nearly one year and two months to promote Yan Jiecheng from the position of transport team captain to deputy factory director.

At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see the trick.

After Yan Jiecheng had been enduring for 10 years, he finally exploded.

However, no one can stop his trend, after all, Li Jiandong is behind him.

Li Jiandong had previously evaluated his research and development and promoted Zhao Steel Plant from deputy department level to full department level. Now he is about to take another step forward. No one in Zhao Steel Plant is dissatisfied with him.

Now Li Jiandong is the emperor who has the final say in the steel rolling mill.

So no one dared to object to who he wanted to promote.

Yan Jiecheng was promoted one after another, which increased the status of his wife Yu Li and gave her more say in the No. 95 courtyard.

Yu Li's younger sister, Yu Haitang, learned that her brother-in-law had become the deputy director of a steel mill. She returned home with some envy and complained to her husband.

"Chunming, my brother-in-law is now the deputy director of the steel mill. You two are both apprentices of Li Jiandong, but he has become the deputy director, while you are still an ordinary citizen. Can't you go find your master and ask him to arrange a leadership position for you?"

Han Chunming couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard this.

He has heard similar words many times in the past year.

Said somewhat speechlessly.

"Haitang, can you please stop nagging about this? My job is completely different from my brother-in-law's. Although my job is a bit shady, it is not necessarily less meaningful than my brother-in-law's. Besides, although my brother-in-law is a higher-ranking boss than me, I make much more money than him. Isn't an income of more than 1000 yuan a month enough for you to show off?"

Han Chunming has been helping Li Jiandong collect cultural relics over the years.

His ragtag gang is now growing stronger and stronger.

Every time Li Jiandong helped Li Wanmin receive a cultural relic, he would give him 20% of the reward. Han Chunming gave a large part of this 20% to the members of the Rags Gang who received the cultural relics.

He himself only raised 2%.

But even with this 2%, he can earn more than 1000 yuan a month.

This income has definitely crushed 99% of the people in the country.

Not to mention Yan Jiecheng, the deputy factory director.

Even Li Jiandong, the factory director, only earned more than 200 yuan a month, which was far less than him.

What Han Chunming couldn't understand was where did Li Jiandong get so much money to collect so many cultural relics?
You should know that 2% is already 1000 yuan.

in other words.

Li Jiandong spends at least 5 yuan a month to purchase these cultural relics.

This is simply a sky-high price for him.

Han Chunming originally thought that Li Jiandong had sold these cultural relics after receiving them, otherwise how could he have so much money? But every time when he wanted to see a cultural relic, Li Jiandong would immediately show it to him.

Li Jiandong even kept the cultural relics he collected a few years ago very intact. If he had really sold them to someone else, how could he possibly take them out at any time?
So although Han Chunming didn't know how Li Jiandong operated, as long as he knew that these stubborn problems were always in his hands, Han Chunming felt relieved.

"I don't care. I'm going to find your master. Now that our family is not short of money, you can find a good job and become an official. Wouldn't others look up to us? Now every time I go back to our courtyard, I feel inferior. Look at my sister. We are sisters, so how can the gap between us be so big?"

Yu Haitang said somewhat unconvinced.

Although Yu Li is her sister.

But he also doesn't want to be outdone by others.

She has always been the focus of others' attention since she was a child.

Now, every time she goes back to No. 95 Courtyard, almost no one pays special attention to her. Instead, her sister Yu Li has become the fourth aunt in the courtyard.

Everyone went to Yu Li to talk about anything, which made Yu Haitang look very envious.

If Han Chunming had discovered Yu Haitang's temper earlier, he would have probably stopped pursuing him. Who knew that Yu Haitang was also trying to be honest in order to get married?

Until later they got married and had children.

If Yu Haitang continues to act like a spoiled young lady, Han Chunming will be unable to do anything about it.

So he could only sigh and say, "Okay, okay, I'll go find my master right away."

Han Chunming was a little impatient.

He just agreed to it, but actually didn't want to find Li Jiandong.

Similar things have happened many times, and every time he just perfunctorily responded and then did what he wanted to do later. Otherwise, he would quarrel with Yu Haitang, and she would cry and give in.

After all, she has given birth to three children for him. Han Chunming can't divorce her, right?

But because the same thing happened too many times, Yu Haitang no longer believed him. Hearing this, she pursed her lips and said, "Okay, let's go find your master now and tell him about your promotion."
Han Chunming was startled and said with his eyes wide open.

"What do you mean we should go together? I can go and talk about this kind of thing myself. Why would you, a woman, go with me?"

Yu Yu Haitang laughed disdainfully.

"What do you think I'm going to do? You've gone to see your master several times before, and there hasn't been any change. I doubt you've ever gone to see him. I'll go with you this time. If you don't like me talking too much, I'll just stand by and not say a word. Is that okay?"

"Well, okay then, but we have agreed that we will only look for my master this time. If he doesn't agree, we are not allowed to bother him again in the future." Han Chunming also decided to go for it.

No matter what, running away all the time is not a solution.

I had no choice but to take Yu Haitang with me to find Li Jiandong this time.

After Li Jiandong rejected him, the matter came to an end, and there was no need to worry about Yu Haitang bringing up such matters in the future.

Yu Haitang agreed.

Then the two of them went to the second courtyard together.

At this time, Li Jiandong just got home from get off work. Seeing Han Chunming and Yu Haitang coming to see him, Li Jiandong thought Han Chunming had received something good again?

She invited them into the house with a smile.

Han Chunming spoke after he sat down.

"Master, there is something I don't know how to tell you. Isn't this my second brother? He is now the deputy director of the steel mill. He is very successful both in the factory and outside. To be honest, I am a little envious of him. Can you arrange a management position for me so that I can show off a little bit?"

Han Chunming said as he spoke.

While winking at Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong is such a smart man. As soon as he saw his expression and then looked at Yu Haitang who was sitting next to him, he immediately knew what had happened.

It seems that my apprentice's wife is quite ambitious.

Han Chunming already earns so much money in a month, but she is still not satisfied and even wants her apprentice to become an official.

This is about gaining both fame and fortune.

But looking at Han Chunming's expression, he should know that this request was a bit excessive, so he winked at me, probably wanting me to reject him.

This kid has been made a good guy, and now he wants me to be the bad guy, right?

Li Jiandong smiled and said.

"Chun Ming, you are the leader of the Rags Gang, and you are in charge of more than 100 people. Isn't that impressive?"

Yu Haitang, who was sitting next to Han Chunming, suddenly spoke, forgetting that he had promised not to say a word this time.

Said somewhat unsatisfactorily.

"There are only more than 100 people, while the steel mill has 3 people."

Although he spoke in a low voice, his meaning was clear.

Yan Jiecheng is in charge of 3 people. Although he is only a deputy factory director, he is still quite powerful. Although Han Chunming is the leader of the Rags Gang, the entire gang has only more than 100 people.

After all, they are not really junk collectors, but they are collecting antiques under the guise of junk collectors. Without some professional knowledge, it is not possible to do this. (End of this chapter)
