Chapter 1638 Toughness
"Oh, it didn't happen? The warehouse was burned down, and most of the finished cloth was burned. How can such a big thing be considered non-existent?"

"Is this the attitude of your security department in handling matters?"

Director Zhang sat on the chair with a calm expression, but his words were full of gunpowder.

Wang Wen frowned. Director Zhang was a little abnormal today. Something was wrong, very wrong.

For no apparent reason, I felt a sense of uneasiness in my heart.

He didn't know that just before Director Zhang came, the phone in the office almost exploded.

It would have been fine if the leader of Zhang Shengli's department had called to inquire about the situation, but it was Jiang Dayong, the director of the Shanghai Automobile Factory, who called and was very firm in his words, insisting that the good guy must be protected.

He learned that the automobile factory was of the same nature as the National Cotton Factory.

However, there was not much interaction between the two. It was only at the end of the year that several factory managers sat together to see who could take out something, exchange them with each other, and distribute some benefits to everyone.

But he had to seriously consider Jiang Dayong's words.

No matter who is primarily responsible for what happened at the National Cotton Mill, he would be removed from his position simply for poor management.

If I lose this position, what can I do?
By then, any person from the street office will be able to suppress him.

Besides, if there really was a management problem in this matter, he would admit it.

But this is obviously wrong!

Apart from anything else, even he, the factory director, knows that the warehouse is an important area. How can outsiders enter it casually?

Do you really think that the workers in the warehouse are not good workers?

And how could a good warehouse catch fire?
Do they really think their fire drill is in vain?

Just thinking about him as the factory director makes me angry.

As the director of such a large state-owned cotton mill, he should have a high status and hold great power.

But the fact is, he was the last to know about such a big thing.

Moreover, it is obvious that they are trying to catch rabbits while killing others, and they will also deal with him!
Damn it, even a clay figure still has some temper!
Moreover, after Jiang Dayong finished beating him, not long after, the secretary of the refrigerator factory, the director of the TV factory, the director of the electric fan factory, the director of the radio factory...

A series of phone calls made him feel dizzy.

What's the matter?

Everyone must protect good people.

This…

If you don't agree to this, how are you going to survive in this circle in the future?
But think about it again, what is this.

This is support!
Support from the entire Shanghai business community!

With so much support, what is he afraid of?

To take a step back, even if I lose my position in the end, I have so many "comrades" to help me. I can't say about other things, but my descendants and nephews will definitely have a way out.

So, after calling the workshop director and the logistics director, the three of them came here.

Speaking of which, these two people are also old factory workers. They also suffered an unexpected disaster this time and are very angry!

So as soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them came over at the same time.

Hearing Director Zhang's words, Wang Wen took a deep breath and said, "Director, you misunderstood."

"The act of burning down the warehouse was extremely bad and had a negative impact on the factory and even society."

"But our security department has caught the murderer and solved the case. The evidence is solid."

"Why are you bringing the two of you here to hinder our investigation?"

"Director Zhang, I hope you can think it over carefully."

After Wang Wen finished speaking, the fearful expression he had expected to see did not appear. Instead, he saw a playful expression on Director Zhang's face.

"I thought it through very clearly!"

Director Zhang spoke word by word.

"Nothing has happened at the National Cotton Mill in all these years."

"But it happened now. What does this mean? It means there is something wrong with the security department."

"That means there's something wrong with the security department!"

As soon as the words fell, the security guards following Wang Wen all took a deep breath.

Then everyone took a step back.

If someone else had said this, they might not have been so scared.

But when these words came out of the factory director's mouth, everyone was shocked.

"Director Zhang, don't talk nonsense!"

Wang Wen frowned and scolded coldly, "We have more than a hundred people in the security department, working diligently to protect the National Cotton Mill. You can't just erase these."

Director Zhang was unmoved, "Fair is fair, and wrong is wrong!"

"No matter what, the security department is not functioning properly this time. If you want to resolve this, wait for instructions from above!"

Wang Wen's face was solemn and his voice was low, "The higher-ups, Team Leader Zhang has issued instructions to complete the case as soon as possible!"

"Isn't this the instruction from above?"

"Do you want Team Leader Zhang to come over and give you instructions in person?"

"Team Leader Zhang? Heh..."

Director Zhang sneered, "Who is Team Leader Zhang? What department is he in charge of? Is he from the police station or the Third Division?"

"By the way, you are from the Third Office, so those from the Third Office should also avoid suspicion!"

"Let the police come, let the higher-ups come! I, Zhang, don't recognize anyone else!"

"Yes, I don't recognize it either!"

"me too!"

The two people beside him echoed, and the three of them spoke in unison.

Wang Wen breathed rapidly, "So you are determined!"

"It is my duty and I have to do it!"

"Wang Wen, and you guys, this matter is very suspicious. I advise you not to follow him down this path!"

The logistics director beside him also took the risk and spoke to the security department behind Wang Wen, making the people behind him hesitate.

Wang Wen turned around and looked around, "Don't listen to their nonsense!"

"The facts are indisputable. They want to shield the criminals and buy time for them to escape punishment!"

"Comrades, we must not let the criminals we caught escape, otherwise we would be sinners of the revolution and the people."

After saying that, Wang Wen looked righteous and shouted to his trusted followers, "Pull the three of them apart and wait for processing."

"Go in and bring the criminals to justice."

As soon as he finished speaking, three people rushed out from behind and rushed towards Director Zhang. "Let's see who dares!"

Director Zhang roared, emitting a dignified aura.

"I am the director of the National Cotton Mill. Think carefully and don't make mistakes."

The sudden change made the three of them stop and hesitate.

This is different from the factory manager they usually see. If it wasn’t that familiar face, they would really think he was a different person.

The previous factory manager was a good guy who didn’t offend anyone.

But now, why are you so tough?

While the three were hesitating, Director Zhang looked at one of them and sneered, "Mulin, you should think it over. You are the security department, but your wives, sisters, and brothers are not all in the security department."

"Also, don't think you're fine just because you're not in our factory. Do you know who called me just now?"

"I called the directors and secretaries of the TV factory, the car factory, the electric fan factory, the bicycle factory, etc., one by one, with one goal: to ensure that the people involved receive a fair trial."

"You better think about it. Don't let others use you as a tool and bring trouble to your family."

Director Zhang spoke in a nonchalant manner, but everyone heard it as a threat.

These days, it’s hard for workers to lose their iron rice bowl; as long as they don’t make any mistakes, they can keep it.

But this does not mean that you can have a stable meal in the factory.

Although I can't destroy your job, I can assign you a job.

This is just like a rural brigade headquarters. In a village, there are good jobs and bad jobs, easy jobs and tiring and dirty jobs.

Who does what is entirely determined by the captain's words.

Naturally, those who are close to the captain, those who are on close terms with him, those from the same family, and those with the same surname can often be taken care of.

Doing easy work but getting the same work points.

The same is true in factories. Work has different levels of importance, and rewards and punishments naturally depend on superiors.

Therefore, it is not a wise move to offend the factory director and secretary.

Director Zhang's words made the few people no longer dare to move forward, but instead took two steps back.

Especially Mu Lin, who usually follows Wang Wen around and bosses him around, but he knows his own abilities.

He is still single and had his eyes on a girl in the workshop. But if it comes to what happened today, who would dare to marry him?
For the sake of your lifelong event, you still have to think carefully.

When Wang Wen heard what Director Zhang said and saw several people retreating, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

Especially those factory directors and secretaries he talked about, although he didn't know whether it was true or not, but if this energy was activated, he would be a little afraid.

These people are not to be trifled with.

He stared fiercely at Director Zhang in front of him. For the first time, he felt that no one who could become a factory director was a simple person.

But at this moment, he had no way out.

"Director Zhang, are you threatening me?"

"No, I'm telling the truth."

"Seriously you won't let me?"

Wang Wen clenched his fists. He was not a weak scholar. With the skills he had honed on the battlefield, it was no problem for him to deal with these three people.

"No!"

"Okay, then don't"

汪 汪
Just as Wang Wen was about to take action, he heard two dog barks behind him, causing him to pause.

When I turned around, I saw a white-haired old man leading a few people walking quickly towards me.

Behind them, there were two groups of people following.

Although they are clearly divided, they are working towards a common goal.

When he saw the leader, a flash of panic crossed Wang Wen's face, but he then calmed down.

"Chief!"

Director Zhang immediately stood up from his seat and stepped forward to greet him.

Wang Wen also followed and walked forward.

"Well, I heard that the gate was closed, so I came to take a look."

"What's wrong? Are you hiding and going to do something bad?"

There was a hint of mockery in the old man's words, but his expression was extremely serious.

"Commander, these are the opinions of Wang Wen from the Security Department."

Director Zhang did not forget to put on eye drops. Wang Wen cursed in his heart when he heard it, but he stepped forward and said, "Chief, we are afraid that the criminals will be taken away by their accomplices."

"However, now that you are here, Chief, we have a backbone and can rest assured."

Hearing Wang Wen's shameless words, Director Zhang secretly despised him in his heart.

"Chief Wang means that he suspects that we are in cahoots with each other."

Zheng Chaoyang suddenly said something from behind, with a playful look on his face.

Wang Wen didn't know Zheng Chaoyang, but seeing that the person following behind the old man should be a police officer, he shook his head and said, "No, we are just preventing possible events."

"Oh, the scope of your prevention is a bit too wide. Why don't you just let the security department of your national cotton mill take over the entire work?"

Zheng Chaoyang continued speaking, and Wang Wen stopped talking.

But in my mind, I was thinking about how to leak the news to Team Leader Zhang and come to support him as soon as possible.

"Okay, open the door, we need to interrogate the prisoner."

The old man said impatiently, "This fire started in the warehouse and seriously damaged the interests of the country and the people. It must be taken seriously and dealt with seriously."

"Director Zheng, Director Yu, you must conduct a joint investigation and not miss any suspicious points."

"Yes. I promise to complete the task."

Zheng Chaoyang and Yu Zecheng nodded at the same time.

After hearing this, Wang lowered his head and said nothing.

But his palms were clenched tightly together.

"Chief, please come this way!"

Director Zhang is indeed self-aware that interrogation is not his strong point.

The key is to have the right superiors.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. Get the results as soon as possible. The higher-ups are waiting for your report."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

They both raised their hands in assurance.
