Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

The meeting began. Li Huaide suppressed his inner turmoil and started the meeting in a calm voice: "Comrades, today we are holding an important meeting here. The theme of the meeting is to welcome our new factory director. Please welcome him with applause."

His eyes slowly swept across the crowd, but inadvertently revealed a hint of unwillingness.

At this time, warm applause had already broken out from the audience.

The new factory manager stood up under the gaze of everyone, waved to everyone, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

He cleared his throat and began his inaugural speech: "Hello, comrades. My name is Qian Fei, and I am the new director of the Third Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiu City. Standing here, my heart is filled with emotion and responsibility.

First of all, I would like to thank my superiors for their trust in me and for entrusting me with the important task of being the director of the steel mill.

At the same time, I would like to thank everyone here. It is your hard work that has enabled our steel rolling mill to achieve remarkable results in the past years.

Today, we stand at a new starting point. The times are developing rapidly and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Our steel rolling mill is facing many challenges, but I firmly believe that challenges and opportunities coexist.

We have an excellent team with superb technology and rich experience. We will give full play to these advantages, continue to innovate and forge ahead.

In terms of production, we must strictly control quality, ensure that every product meets high standards, strengthen production management, improve production efficiency and reduce costs.

We introduce advanced production technology and equipment to enhance our core competitiveness. At the same time, we must pay attention to safe production and ensure the safety of every employee.

In terms of employee management, I will uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness, respect the dedication and efforts of every employee, and provide everyone with a good working environment and development space.

We encourage everyone to actively innovate and put forward reasonable suggestions. We must establish a sound incentive mechanism so that capable and contributive employees can get due rewards.

I know that being the plant director is a big responsibility, but I am confident that with everyone's joint efforts, we will be able to overcome difficulties and achieve new development of the steel mill. Let us work together and strive for a bright future for the steel mill!"

Li Huaide listened to the new factory director's bold words, and his anger almost burst out. He was unwilling to accept that his years of hard work had gone to waste, and his position, which had been set in stone, had been taken away by someone else.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.

After Director Qian finished speaking, he looked at Li Huaide with a smile, as if waiting for his response.

Li Huaide took a deep breath and tried to force out a smile: "Director Qian's speech is inspiring. We believe that under the leadership of Director Qian, the steel rolling mill will surely achieve even more brilliant achievements."

There was a hint of reluctance in his words, but his eyes revealed a strong unwillingness.

Director Qian nodded slightly, with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Comrade Li Huaide, you are an old man in the steel mill and have rich experience. I hope you can continue to play to your strengths and make suggestions for the development of the steel mill."

Li Huaide's heart trembled. He heard the hidden meaning in the new factory director's words. This was clearly a warning to him not to do anything wrong.

He gritted his teeth and responded: "Please rest assured, Director, I will fully cooperate with your work."

However, Li Huaide was full of resistance in his heart. He felt that the new factory director got this position by luck, and he was the most qualified person to be the factory director.

In the following meeting, Li Huaide introduced the people present to Director Qian one by one.

After all, they are all middle and senior leaders of the steel rolling mill, and they still need to get familiar with the new factory director.

Finally, the meeting was over. Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had just experienced a long and cruel war.

He walked out of the meeting room silently, looking particularly lonely, and returned to the office alone.

The people in his camp naturally knew that now was not the time to disturb him, so they let him take his time and then returned to their respective offices.

Zhou Jin naturally would not offend Li Huaide at this time. He planned to go back to the office to tell Zhang Li and then slip away.

However, unexpectedly, when Zhou Jin just stepped into the office, before he even had time to say hello to Zhang Li, Director Qian's secretary hurried in.

He told Zhou Jin that Director Qian asked him to go to the director's office right now as he had important matters to discuss with him.

This sudden request left Zhou Jin confused and puzzled.

Normally, as a new factory director, he should meet with other deputy factory directors or heads of various departments on his first day at work. Why did he suddenly meet with a small deputy section chief like me?

Although Zhou Jin was full of doubts, he understood his current situation. A higher-ranking official can crush a person, not to mention that the other person was many levels higher than him. He could only follow the secretary to the factory director's office obediently.

The two walked to the door of the factory director's office together. The secretary knocked on the door gently. After receiving a response from inside, he carefully pushed the door open and signaled to Zhou Jin that he could go in.

At this moment, Zhou Jin still couldn't figure out the other party's intentions, and he became more and more nervous. He walked into the room with a nervous mood.

Zhou Jin walked into the office with a heart full of trepidation.

At that moment, it seemed as if an invisible pressure was enveloping him.

He tried his best to act normal, but still couldn't hide his reservedness.

He stood straight opposite Director Qian, his body slightly tense, as if facing an unknown challenge.

"Hello, Director. What do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Jin's voice sounded in the quiet office with a hint of nervousness.

"Oh, it's Xiao Zhou. Don't be shy, sit down first." Director Qian spoke in a calm tone with a faint smile on his face.

Then, he stood up and walked to the side, poured a glass of water, and slowly brought it to Zhou Jin, "Drink some water first."

Zhou Jin quickly stood up, took the teacup with both hands, and said thank you repeatedly.

His movements were a little flustered. He sat down carefully, took a sip of water, and then gently put the teacup down.

At this moment, his heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. The first impression Director Qian gave him was that “if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.”

His brain was working rapidly, thinking about the purpose of Director Qian looking for him.

In order to find out the other party's intentions, Zhou Jin decided to take the initiative. "Director, what do you want to talk to me about?" There was a hint of determination in his eyes, although he was still nervous inside.
