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

Cao Xing smiled awkwardly and watched Mr. Liu leave.

After today's conversation, Cao Xing has guessed the old man's identity.

It is an honor for Cao Xing to be able to make friends with such a big shot.

Today is the regular meeting of the Ministry of Industry.

Many leaders gathered in the Ministry of Industry building.

This was a normal routine meeting, and everyone thought it would go on like before.

However, Zheng Guotao's cold face seemed to foreshadow that today's meeting would be different.

The four deputy ministers did not dare to speak, for fear of angering Zheng Guotao and attracting his attention.

Among these four deputy ministers are Li Huaide’s father-in-law Qin Gui and the big leader Duan Yi.

"Today I want to talk about a comrade among us."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the leaders present were shocked. They guessed correctly that the reason the minister was angry was because of one of them.

Seeing that everyone was too frightened to speak, Zheng Guotao continued.

"You may be wondering who this person is. I won't tell you his name today to save his face."

Everyone sat upright, as if they were primary school students receiving training, and a solemn atmosphere suddenly filled the meeting room.

"This man is in a very high position, and he used his power to bully others. His only goal was to rescue a cook to satisfy his own appetite. How can such a person talk about being loyal to the country and serving the people? It's really shameful!"

Zheng Guotao's tone rose, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They asked themselves if they had ever done such a shameless thing. Regardless of anything else, as long as the minister's target was not them!

But they breathed a sigh of relief, while Duan Yi, who was sitting in the front row, had his back soaked with cold sweat!

Save the cook?

Isn't this talking about him?

How did the Minister know this?

Could it be that Yang Weimin has connections with the minister that makes him so fearless?

He knew nothing and could only guess.

At this time, he lowered his head tightly, afraid to meet the minister's eyes.

Zheng Guotao glanced at Duan Yi calmly and continued, "I have worked with all of you here for many years. I usually don't bother to ask about some of you, but that doesn't mean I don't know. If anyone wants to challenge my bottom line, then I don't mind letting him know what I did in the past!"

Seeing that no one dared to speak, Zheng Guotao said coldly.

"Especially the person I just mentioned, I hope you can realize your mistake. Our official uniforms are for serving the people, not for you to pursue your own selfish desires!"

After Zheng Guotao finished speaking, he looked at Qin Gui who was sitting under him.

"Deputy Minister Qin, please say a few words."

Qin Gui was shocked and said quickly, "Okay, Minister."

Then he started talking useless nonsense to everyone.

"As a deputy minister, I bear the expectations and trust of the organization and the people. I often remind myself not to regard myself as a leader, but to go deep into the masses. We must set an example, adhere to the right direction, and lead the people to a better future!"

clap clap clap...

Everyone couldn't help but applaud.

Zheng Guotao turned his gaze to Duan Yi again and said slowly, "Deputy Minister Duan, what do you think?"

Duan Yi was startled, and looking at Zheng Guotao's slightly meaningful eyes, he couldn't help but become nervous.

"I, I, I..."

Zheng Guotao sneered and said, "Deputy Minister Duan, I heard that people below say that you are a wise man who often guides the direction of other people's lives. It seems that you are very wise."

"No, Minister, that was just idle chat with others during off-duty hours. The whole Ministry of Industry thought it was a joke."

Qin Gui who was standing next to him couldn't help but feel happy. Duan Yi always liked to preach to others whenever he had nothing to do. Others had to listen to him even though they were in lower positions than him. He was very good at pretending to be awesome. Now that he was named by the minister, he was naturally very happy.

Zheng Guotao smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, this is just a regular meeting. If you are nervous, we should hold an impeachment meeting."

Duan Yi was so frightened when he heard this that he couldn't help but tremble, and his brain was working at full speed.

"Minister, I think the person you just mentioned is completely ignorant and has wasted the rights given by the people. We must put an end to such incidents in the future. Under the wise leadership of the minister, we will strive to make the country's heavy industry, light industry, agricultural and sideline product development, and other aspects reach new heights!"

Zheng Guotao looked at Duan Yi, who had a strong desire to survive, and finally stopped looking stern.

"What Vice Minister Qin and Vice Minister Duan said are both very good. I think that person must have realized his mistake. I will give him a chance to correct it. Now I will tell you about the content of the next meeting."

When everyone saw Zheng Guotao's cloudy weather turning into sunny weather, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan Yi felt relieved when he saw that the minister had finally revealed the matter, but he also felt a little scared.

He had been sitting on pins and needles in the meeting for more than an hour and finally he was relieved.

The first thing he did when he came out was to call Yang Weimin.

"Xiao Yang, do you think there is any misunderstanding between us?"

Yang Weimin secretly thought that it was unlikely that the big boss would be unable to hold on so soon.

He had this thought in his mind but did not show it, and still spoke calmly.

"Boss, you have asked this question three times, and I have answered you."

"Haha, Xiao Yang, we have known each other for decades. How could a cook be able to compare with us?"

"Boss, I remember that you didn't say this when you came to the steel mill yesterday."

"Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. Yesterday I specifically investigated He Yuzhu's situation, and it turned out to be exactly the same as your information. I really blame myself for this. Such a pig-dog-worse thing actually pretended to be so nice in front of me, and caused such a big rift between the two of us. I should apologize to you for this matter."

Yang Weimin was extremely surprised when he heard this. The big leader apologized to him?

Although he was surprised, even delighted, the big boss was so humble that it would be a bit immature for him to continue to be pretentious.

"Leader, what are you talking about? The relationship between us is clear as day and night. You don't have to be angry about this. How do you deal with He Yuzhu?"

Duan Yi saw that Yang Weimin's attitude had obviously improved, so he immediately said, "Do as you wish. I won't ask about this matter anymore."

"Okay, leader, I feel relieved with your words. You will still be my good leader in the future, and I will continue to work hard behind you."

"Haha, Xiao Yang, I was not wrong about you after all. You have not forgotten your roots and you still care about our comradeship."

"Leader, you are joking. I have always been a soldier under your command. I was, I am, and I will be in the future."

"Xiao Yang..."

After a cheesy phone conversation between the two, Yang Weimin and Duan Yi both hung up the phone with satisfaction.

The one who was in a completely different mood from the other two was Sha Zhu who was still in the security department.

This guy is looking forward to the arrival of the big leader every moment, but is always disappointed.

Until that evening, Yi Zhonghai came dejectedly and stood in front of Sha Zhu without saying a word.

Sha Zhu realized something was wrong and quickly asked, "Uncle, have you been to the boss's house?"

Yi Zhonghai said with a depressed look: "Hey, Zhuzi, I went there again today, but I was turned away this time."
