Outside the window, the cold wind is still blowing, but in their hearts, a blazing fire has been ignited, which is the infinite loyalty and love for the revolutionary cause.

"Qiu Yuan, are what you just said true?" Wang Fuhan turned around, staring directly at Qiu Yuan who was standing in front of the desk.

Qiu Yuan straightened his back, patted his chest, and said firmly: "Secretary, I went to the scene to inquire personally, and it is absolutely true. In order to get more positions, they dared to adjust the job grade assessment method so blatantly. They are simply stealing from the country and destroying the foundation of our factory!"

Wang Fuhan's face turned pale when he heard this, and he slammed his fist on the table, causing the documents on the table to scatter all over the floor.

"Asshole! This kind of behavior must not be tolerated!

You must investigate immediately and find out what is going on, especially Liu Huaimin and the three factory managers, don’t let any of them off!"

Qiu Yuan nodded, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He knew that this opportunity was rare. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to make merit, his position in the factory would be greatly improved.

"Don't worry, Secretary. I will get to the bottom of this matter."

While the two were discussing, Qiu Yuan changed the subject and mentioned another name: "However, there is another person you need to pay attention to, that is Yang Ming."

"Yang Ming?" Wang Fuhan frowned slightly. He was familiar with the name, but he always felt something was wrong.

"Yes, it's him. This kid is young, but very capable. In just a few years, he has risen from an ordinary worker to an eighth-level fitter, and now he has become an engineer. Don't you think it's strange?" Qiu Yuan said while observing Wang Fuhan's reaction.

Wang Fuhan pondered for a moment, and his mind flashed back to the reminder his superior had given him in private: "Secretary Wang, you need to pay more attention to Yang Ming. It's a good thing for young people to be energetic, but don't let this energy go to the wrong place."

"Now that you mention it, I remember something." Wang Fuhan sighed and continued, "In those large factories in Shanghai, only middle-aged people can get to level 7 workers, and level 8 workers are even rarer. And who isn't an old craftsman who has worked for half his life? This Yang Ming..."

Qiu Yuan took over the conversation, with a little more disdain in his tone: "Yes, Secretary, think about it, this promotion speed is faster than riding a rocket. If there is no secret behind it, who would believe it?"

"What's even more suspicious is that I heard that the Luoyang side didn't buy into the steam engine blueprints he designed, saying that they were too theoretical and would have a lot of problems in actual production.

But our factory treats him like a treasure and expects him to lead us in making tractors. I think it's just a matter of luck. " Qiu Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had seen the scene of Yang Ming's downfall.

Wang Fuhan felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

He knew very well that the problems of the steel mill were far more complicated than he had imagined, and Yang Ming's rapid rise was undoubtedly one of the biggest mysteries. He stood up, looking out the window at the sky shrouded in smoke with sharp eyes, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Qiu Yuan, keep talking and tell me everything you know. I must get to the bottom of this matter. Our steel mill must not become a tool for some people to seek personal gain!"

"Xiao Tao, your fishing skills are getting better and better. In such a cold day and such muddy water, you can catch so many fish. I, Old Zhang, really admire you." As Zhang Laodao spoke, he shook his head, his eyes full of disbelief.

Yang Ming chuckled, dusted himself off, and said modestly: "Brother Zhang, no, no, I was just lucky. Besides, fishing requires patience and skills. If you practice more, you can do it too."

"Hey, I'm clumsy, I'm afraid I can't be as good as you even if I practice for my whole life." Zhang Laodao laughed at himself, and then changed the subject, "But then again, it would be great if your skills could be used in our factory!"

Hearing this, Yang Ming's smile faded slightly, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes. He naturally understood the deep meaning of Zhang Laodao's words. Although he was not directly involved in the various problems in the steel mill, he knew them all.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, breaking the tranquility of the waterside. Wang Fuhan and Qiu Yuan came side by side, both of them with a solemn look on their faces. Wang Fuhan walked straight to Yang Ming, his eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Tao, there are some things we need to talk about."

Yang Ming's heart trembled, and he had a premonition of something, but he still nodded, indicating that he was willing to follow the arrangements.

At dinner time, the canteen was brightly lit, with workers busy moving around. Wang Fuhan and Qiu Yuan sat at a table in the corner, waiting for the food to be served.

Qiu Yuan looked at Wang Fuhan with admiration in his heart. He knew that Director Wang was really angry this time and would make great efforts to rectify the corruption problem in the steel mill.

"Qiu Yuan, you did a great job this time, and you put all the problems on the table." Wang Fuhan's voice was low and powerful, "But the road ahead will probably be even more difficult.

What we have to deal with are not only those corrupt elements who are seen in the open, but also those profit chains hidden in the dark.”

Qiu Yuan clenched his fists and looked determined: "Director Wang, don't worry, since I, Qiu Yuan, have accepted this task, I will never back down. For the steel mill and the workers, I am willing to give everything."

Dinner was finally served, and the two of them ate a few bites before continuing to discuss work. Wang Fuhan decided to start with Yang Ming, gradually clearing out those involved in corruption and restoring the innocence and vitality of the steel mill.

On the other hand, Yang Ming felt mixed emotions after leaving Shuibo. He was well aware of his close relationship with the director of the third workshop, as well as the various conflicts of interest hidden behind this relationship.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, if this fish is bigger, can we learn how to ride horses from Brother Yang and catch some game along the way?" The young soldier Xiao Li whispered to his comrade beside him.

Old Zhang smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "We have to wait until the fish in the river are fattened up. Look at Brother Yang's posture, I guess all the fish in the river have been plundered by his friend Xiao Wei."

Yang Ming naturally didn't hear the conversation behind him. He was immersed in the joy of fishing and knew nothing about the upcoming "fishing plan".

As the sun sets, Yang Ming rides his horse slowly back to the camp. Although his thigh aches slightly from riding for a long time for the first time, the sense of accomplishment makes him forget his fatigue.

When passing by the camp gate, he handed the two largest fish to the guards at the gate and said, "Brother, you have worked hard. Take these two fish and give everyone a snack."

The guard smiled innocently, thanked him repeatedly, and watched Yang Ming go away.
