Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

Cao Xing didn't bother with Li Mei anymore. Seeing that it was almost time, he went straight to Director Yang's office.

Without knocking, he just pushed the door open and walked in.

"Who, why don't you knock..."

"Ah, Xiao Cao, come and sit down, come and sit down."

When Yang Weimin saw Cao Xing coming, he couldn't afford to offend him as half of his supplies depended on him.

Cao Xing sat down on the sofa with a dagger in his hand and said straight to the point: "I came here mainly to ask about the report letter. Don't tell me you don't know."

Yang Weimin was stunned. Only a few factory leaders knew about the letter of complaint, so how did it get to him?

However, he did not dare to hide anything when Cao Xing asked him questions.

"Li Huaide did want to target the purchasing department because he received a letter of complaint against your three branches."

Cao Xing didn't say anything, just waited for his next words.

Yang Weimin is also a bachelor, and he said it directly.

"Yesterday, you three groups brought back a pig, and the rumors were refuted. Li Huaide promises to clear your name today and track down the identity of the anonymous whistleblower and deal with him seriously."

Cao Xing said indifferently after hearing this.

"The whistleblower is He Yuzhu, the second chef in the cafeteria, and his accomplice is Jia Dongxu, an apprentice of Yi Zhonghai from the first workshop. I need your factory leaders to deal with this seriously."

Yang Weimin knew He Yuzhu. Although he was only a second-class chef, his cooking skills were no less than those of the head chef. He was thinking of promoting him, but he didn't expect that He Yuzhu had something to do here.

"Xiao Cao, could this be a mistake? I know He Yuzhu, he's a very simple person, how could he do such a thing?"

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "You can't tell a person's heart by looking at his face. I won't talk about this person. I want to give you a suggestion."

Yang Weimin was startled and asked, "What suggestions?"

"As the director of a steel mill, you are in charge of both production and power. This is not good for you."

Cao Xing's words were a bit profound and unfathomable, and Yang Weimin was puzzled for a moment.

"What do you mean? There are only two of us here. Xiao Cao, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Cao Xing said with a somewhat cold expression: "First of all, you have to understand what you want. You want the credit for the steel mill, and the credit is mainly in production. You want to take sole control of the power, and you don't want to let go of logistics, security, procurement and other aspects."

"If everything is normal, then there will be no problem. But if there is a problem, your responsibility will be greater."

"To be frank, human energy is not unlimited. The more you need to focus on, the more vulnerable you will be, and it will be easier for others to attack you."

Yang Weimin seemed to understand and his face looked a little ugly.

“Are you a lobbyist?”

He thought Cao Xing no longer supported him, so he became Li Huaide's lobbyist and asked him to give up power.

Cao Xing shook his head and said, "Since I have chosen to support you, I will not look for anyone else. I said this to tell you that if you want to rise quickly in the officialdom, you must give up something in order to gain something. And if you can avoid making enemies, do so. The more friends you have, the more paths you can take."

Yang Weimin pondered for a moment, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally he seemed to understand something and looked at Cao Xing in surprise.

"Xiao Cao, I didn't expect you to have such a deep understanding of the officialdom. If you go into politics, your future achievements will be limitless."

Cao Xing chuckled and thought to himself that he had never wanted to be an official before Dafeng. He knew that in that era, the higher you stood, the harder you would fall. On the contrary, ordinary people like him were the safest.

"Director Yang, I checked yesterday. Li Huaide is not clean, and his father-in-law from the Ministry of Industry is not clean either. It is not difficult to bring him down, but now Li Huaide has come, and maybe Wang Huaide or Zhao Huaide will come tomorrow. So you should understand that even if you win the fight between two people, it will consume a lot of your energy."

"Is it interesting to fight like this every day? That's why the officialdom emphasizes win-win situations, not life-and-death struggles!"

The more Yang Weimin listened, the more he understood. He had not expected that Cao Xing had figured out Li Huaide's background in just one night.

What he didn't know was that Cao Xing didn't use any connections at all, but instead relied on his understanding of Li Huaide in his previous life.

"Xiao Cao, I've learned your lesson. I know what to do next. Don't worry."

Cao Xing nodded and said, "I put some supplies near the cement pipe in the abandoned warehouse. They are all hard currency. You can drive over to get them and give them as gifts to the leaders. Don't be stupid and guard the steel mill all day."

After saying this, he ignored Yang Weimin's gradually darkening face and walked out.

He said everything he needed to say. He believed that since Yang Weimin was able to reach the position of director of the steel rolling mill, he would definitely understand the deeper meaning of his words.

Li Huaide has too many shortcomings, but he also has advantages. He will do things as long as you pay him, and he is very decisive in doing things, without any dragging his feet. Such a leader can be considered a good one.

He believed that with the intelligence of Li Huaide and Yang Weimin, they would be able to reach a consensus.

This way he can spend his time comfortably at the steel mill, and no one will feel left out.

After hearing what Cao Xing said, Yang Weimin immediately drove to the cement pipe in the abandoned warehouse.

He lifted up a large piece of rag, and saw chicken, duck, fish, canned milk powder, various bright and juicy fruits, ten packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, ten packs of Panda special cigarettes, two boxes of Maotai liquor, and half a saddle of spareribs. Yang Weimin was dazzled by the sight!

How much the hell does this cost?

Let me put it this way, even if you give him five thousand dollars, he probably can't buy these things!

After all, these things are in short supply and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly rolled up his sleeves and moved into the car.

In the end, the trunk was full and there was still no room left, so we had to load more in the back seat.

Now he finally deeply understood Cao Xing's abilities!

He is so omnipotent!

At the same time, he knew clearly that if he took these things, it would be like getting on Cao Xing's pirate ship, but he did not refuse.

After loading the car, he drove directly to the office building and came to Li Huaide's office.

dong dong dong.

"Come in." Li Huaide's voice came out.

Yang Weimin walked in confidently and sat directly opposite Li Huaide's desk.

"Director Yang? Why are you here?"

Li Huaide was quite surprised. In his eyes, Yang Weimin was a bit old-fashioned and would never come to his office.

Yang Weimin raised his hand, took out two packs of cigarettes and handed them over.

Li Huaide took a look and thought, Greater China, it's really good, but then he thought of something and chuckled.

"Director Yang, if you want me to give up the bet just because of these two packs of cigarettes, that's too much of a stretch."

Yang Weimin was not in a hurry either. With a powerful backer standing behind him, he was not panicked at all.

"Director Li, although I'm here to seek peace, it's not what you think."

"Oh? Director Yang, are you admitting defeat?"

"Give up? Do you think you can defeat me with your father-in-law from the Ministry of Industry?"

Li Huaide was shocked. His father-in-law was his biggest trump card. Logically, Director Yang and others only knew that he had a powerful background, but didn't know who his backers were. But why did Yang Weimin know all this?

Li Huaide remained calm, took out a cigarette and lit it, then said slowly: "It seems that the big boss thinks highly of you and even told you my background."

But Yang Weimin shook his head and said, "It's not a big boss. Others told me that you have dirty hands, and your father-in-law has clean hands too. It's true. It's just that people like you are easy to control. If you are put in jail, there may be others. That's why I came here to discuss with you the path of seeking common ground while reserving differences."
