Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

Dong····Dong·····

There was a hurried knock on the door of Deputy Director Li's office.

"Come in."

Hearing the voice inside the room, Xiao Liu, the secretary at the door, pushed the door open and walked in. He looked at Deputy Director Li who was sitting leisurely on the chair and said:

"Director, I have investigated thoroughly. The rumors circulating in the factory are indeed true. Yi Zhonghai embezzled the living expenses that He Daqing gave to his children and has now been arrested."

"Great! Yi Zhonghai is one of the few eighth-level workers under Yang Chen. With such a big incident, Yi Zhonghai will definitely be fired. It's exciting to think about cutting off Yang Chen's arm." Deputy Director Li was beaming with joy.

Just when Deputy Director Li was excited, the office door was knocked again.

Hearing the voice outside the door, Deputy Director Li suppressed his inner joy and said, "Come in."

The person who pushed the door open was Secretary Li who was beside Director Yang.

Seeing Secretary Li coming, Li Fugui showed an imperceptible smile, and then pretended to know nothing, "Secretary Li, what's the matter?"

"Excuse me, Deputy Director Li. Director Yang asked me to notify you of a meeting. He said it's an important matter." Secretary Li said anxiously.

"Okay... I'll be there soon, go first!" Li Fugui was immediately displeased when he heard Secretary Li calling him deputy factory director, but there was nothing wrong with what Secretary Li said, so he could only take note of it in his heart and deal with him when he becomes the factory director in the future.

Hearing this, Secretary Li turned around and left without any hesitation.

After Secretary Li left, Li Fugui stood up with her big belly, "Let's go! Let's go watch Yang Chen's performance."

Steel rolling mill, conference room.

At this time, all the leaders of the steel rolling mill except Deputy Director Li had arrived. Director Yang, who had a sullen face, sat at the first seat. The faces of the leaders below varied. Some looked tense, while others were secretly delighted. However, the entire conference room was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Just then, a voice came from the door, "Sorry everyone, I'm late. I just finished what I was doing."

Everyone looked sideways upon hearing the voice, and then saw Deputy Director Li walking in with a big belly.

Director Yang glanced at Li Fugui. Even though he was unhappy, he did not get angry. He just said calmly: "Since Deputy Director Li is here, let's get started!"

"Everyone knows about the uproar in the factory today, right? According to my investigation, Yi Zhonghai did embezzle a huge amount of money. The purpose of our meeting this time is to discuss how to deal with Yi Zhonghai. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the leaders below immediately started talking among themselves, and the entire conference room was noisy. Deputy Director Li, on the other hand, smoked a cigarette with an expressionless face and watched Director Yang's performance.

When Chief Hou Taihou of the Finance Department saw Deputy Director Li's expression, he suddenly had an idea and said righteously, "Director Yang, I think Yi Zhonghai is a black sheep and should be fired immediately. We can't let a bad apple spoil the whole pot of soup."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang looked at Hou Tai with displeasure, but Hou Tai straightened his chest and looked at Director Yang fearlessly. He looked as if he was completely concerned about the factory. If Director Yang hadn't known that he was Li Fugui's subordinate, would he have really believed his lies?

"No, do you know how rare it is to have an eighth-level worker? There are only three of them in the factory now, including Yi Zhonghai. If Yi Zhonghai is fired, there will only be two eighth-level workers in the factory." Upon hearing this, Luo Bin, director of workshop No. 4, immediately retorted, because Yi Zhonghai was from his workshop. Although Yi Zhonghai was usually very arrogant, the parts he processed were impeccable.

"Hey, Director Luo, what benefits did Yi Zhonghai give you that you are making excuses for him? As for Yi Zhonghai's case, it would not be excessive to eat peanuts if there was a severe crackdown. The fact that your subordinates did such a thing proves that you are not good at management. If you are to be held accountable, you also have some responsibility. Now you actually want to keep him in the workshop." After hearing what Director Luo said, Section Chief Hou immediately stood up and pointed at his nose and said loudly.

"You're talking nonsense! How could I possibly accept benefits from Yi Zhonghai! Besides, all the things Yi Zhonghai did were done outside, not in the factory. How can I still manage others after get off work?" Director Luo was so angry that his face turned red. He slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"You said that Yi Zhonghai did those things outside the factory, then what about him inside the factory? He bullies others every day by relying on the fact that he is an eighth-level worker. Why don't you care?" Section Chief Hou sneered and looked at Luo Bin jokingly.

"I don't know, I don't know where you heard it from." Director Luo was shocked, but soon regained his composure, with a guilty look on his face. He knew what Yi Zhonghai did in the factory, but Director Yang had once instructed that as long as there was no major problem, he should not care about Yi Zhonghai, so he could only pretend that he didn't know and answered with a stiff upper lip.

Everyone present could see that Director Liu was lying, but no one wanted to point it out to him. After all, everyone knew the truth. Then several people expressed their opinions. Like Hou Tai, they all strongly demanded that Yi Zhonghai be fired. But how could those people under Director Yang agree? For a while, the whole conference room was noisy, and the noise was getting louder and louder, as if it was going to blow the roof off.

Director Yang sat there, listening to the heated argument, his face becoming increasingly ugly. He could not help but yell, "Quiet! What are you doing making such a fuss? Do you have any discipline at all?"

After hearing his shout, everyone suddenly quieted down. Director Yang took a breath, then turned to look at Li Fugui, who had not expressed his opinion, and asked, "Deputy Director Li, what do you think about this matter?"

Li Fugui was stunned when he heard this. He secretly complained in his heart, thinking: "I am just here to watch the fun. I am hoping that you can't handle this matter well, so that I can take the opportunity to report to the superiors. If the superiors are not satisfied with you, then won't I have the opportunity to replace you?"

However, now that everyone was staring at him, he also understood that if he didn't speak up, his subordinates would probably have a problem with him. After all, they were fighting for his interests, and he couldn't let his subordinates down.

Thinking of this, Li Fugui smiled indifferently and said calmly: "The impact caused by Yi Zhonghai's incident is really too great. If he is not fired, it will be difficult to quell the public anger. However, this is just my personal opinion. The final decision must be made by you, Director Yang."

Hearing Li Fugui's words, Director Yang couldn't help but frown, and a trace of doubt surged in his heart. Usually, Li Fugui always argued with him, but this time he seemed unusually calm, even a little indifferent. This made Director Yang very confused, and he didn't know what Li Fugui was up to.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Director Yang's mind, and he realized the problem. In an instant, a chill rose from his spine, making him shudder.

Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, soaking his hair.

He wiped his forehead with his hand, took a deep breath, and then looked at Li Fugui meaningfully.

After a moment's silence, Director Yang said, "In that case, let's fire Yi Zhonghai. Inform the entire factory of this news later. Oh, and by the way, announce Comrade Wang Haoran's appointment order as well." After that, Director Yang waved his hand, signaling the end of the meeting.
