Director Yang's Attitude
Chapter 133 Director Yang's Attitude
Seeing Director Yang's reaction, the old deaf man was not surprised, but he pretended to be hesitant and sighed.
"Never mind, I won't say anything more. It might make you hesitate or give you a headache later."
And this second deliberate act, just as the old deaf man had imagined, only made Director Yang urge them on even more.
"Grandma, could he be from the military? Or somewhere else?"
In Director Yang's view, the only people who could give him a headache or cause him trouble were probably those people in the military. After all, he had heard that the steel rolling mill was about to be expanded, and it was a unit of that level.
It was a behemoth in the entire city of Beijing, so he believed that only the military could make him wary.
Furthermore, the other party also held a significant position within the military. And what happened next? The old deaf man no longer chose to conceal anything, because continuing in this manner might only exhaust the other party's patience.
"This man is Cao Wei, the deputy director of your steel rolling mill."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Director Yang froze for a moment.
I was completely stunned.
Then, looking at the old deaf man in front of him, he couldn't help but subconsciously ask him a few more questions.
"Grandma, you said that person was Cao Wei?"
"Ahem, I'm not stupid yet, you old deaf man."
Upon hearing this, Director Yang suddenly saw Cao Wei's image in his mind.
Instantly, he gritted his teeth and began to clench them.
After all, Cao Wei had once disrespected him. In his mind, Cao Wei, a young man, was able to become a deputy director right away, which already made him somewhat dissatisfied. He also held a grudge against Cao Wei for disrespecting him.
Or rather, there are some bumps or lumps present.
And now, they've even learned that Cao Wei is the one who offended their benefactor, the old deaf man.
This moment also brought Director Yang's malice, or rather, dissatisfaction with Cao Wei, to its extreme.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Heh, this guy's mouth does indeed sound like he's the kind of person who won't let it go."
After calming down, Director Yang couldn't help but press the old deaf man for more information.
"So what is Cao Wei usually like?"
At this moment, Director Yang couldn't help but have a thought. If he could find some real dirt on Cao Wei, he could find a way to interfere with him when the new grade system came into effect.
There's even a chance that we might be able to get rid of the other party's deputy director.
After all, he's just an agent. If he can seize the opportunity, it won't be difficult for him to get rid of him.
The old deaf man, seeing that the time was almost up, sighed and said...
"It's nothing much, he just beat up a few people when he was first admitted to the hospital, and he likes to get physical with people in general. But the thing is, nobody in the hospital can do anything about him."
"Never mind."
The old deaf man knew very well, or rather, that the former factory director Yang might have been able to influence the other party.
However, he absolutely could not say it so deliberately, after all, every time Cao Wei made a move, or what happened afterward.
Since it's all about avoiding any fault-finding, he naturally has to make his statements as general as possible.
Upon hearing this, Director Yang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table, exclaiming, "Good heavens, this is the kind of person he usually is! Our steel rolling mill cannot allow someone like this to be the deputy director!"
Seeing Director Yang's attitude, the old deaf man sneered inwardly, but on the surface he couldn't help but offer a few words of advice.
Factory Director Yang, however, spoke up somewhat stubbornly.
"Madam, I will investigate this matter. Please don't concern yourself with it anymore."
After all, for Director Yang at this moment, that little grudge, combined with the old deaf man's current attitude, was enough for him to take action against Cao Wei.
However, once we get back...
The initial urge to repay the favor that had stirred within Director Yang was quickly suppressed. After all, no one who had reached this position was truly a fool.
Regarding the matter, after a brief investigation, he only felt a headache coming on.
What the old deaf man said was true, but what was Cao Wei's situation? The first time was because someone occupied the house, and the other party was in the right.
He did indeed resort to violence later on, but he always claimed to be in the right at crucial moments.
But he also understood why the old deaf man was not valued: it was because he stood up for Yi Zhonghai that time.
Cao Wei slapped him in the face, which means he didn't give the other party any face.
This gave him a headache. If that was the case, he wanted to use this chapter to take action against Cao Wei.
It would be difficult for him to win over the masses, after all, he has not been here for long and has not even established his own faction yet.
Therefore, he could only suppress this thought for the time being.
Upon learning that a meeting was about to be held, Director Yang realized that the meeting was about dealing with Yi Zhonghai's current job level issue.
After all, he had a criminal record, so theoretically he should only be a level three worker at most. However, Yi Zhonghai had already passed the level five worker assessment, which he must have failed. Now, the question is whether or not to give him the treatment of a level four worker.
At this moment, Director Yang couldn't help but recall what the old deaf man had once said: Yi Zhonghai had been somewhat depressed lately.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that Yi Zhonghai was also the caregiver for the elderly deaf man, providing him with a great deal of care on a daily basis.
So, at this meeting, seeing that everyone else was arguing so much, Director Yang paused briefly before expressing his opinion.
"I think we should look forward in the end. The most important thing is that although Comrade Yi Zhonghai made a mistake before, he still has experience. He has indeed failed the fifth-level worker assessment, so let's just keep him in the fourth-level worker position. After all, his experience and ability are there."
Hearing that Director Yang had expressed this opinion, most of the others nodded in agreement.
After all, the other party is now the factory manager, and this exception is based on the premise that the other party is experienced and capable.
However, Li Huaide frowned; this was a precedent that couldn't be allowed to be set. But considering that Director Yang had taken the initiative to speak up for someone, it was highly likely that the person would be categorized as part of that faction, which served as a reminder to him.
Now that the other party has made this move, it means that he can also try to operate in this area later.
Therefore, Li Huaide and several other familiar people around him ultimately did not object.
When the news finally came out, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief.
Because no matter what, a level four worker is still, at best, a mid-level worker.
After all, in terms of salary, a level 4 worker is roughly the same as a level 1 worker, and may even earn a little more.
However, he was puzzled, because judging from the examiner's attitude at the time, there was a high probability that he would be disqualified from the fourth-level worker position.
Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai, upon returning home, recounted this strange incident. Li Mei, seemingly recalling the old lady's unusual behavior that day, couldn't help but mention it as well.
"Old Yi, I think this matter might be related to the old lady. After all, she went out for a while, and she was acting very mysteriously. Someone even sent her a letter, and she was very excited at the time."
These words made Yi Zhonghai realize that the key to his success in maintaining his fourth-level worker status was probably the old deaf man.
This made him quite excited. If he managed to keep his Level 4 worker position, would it mean that he might still have a chance to be promoted? He was eager to know just how far his relationship with the deaf man could go.
So he quickly led Li Mei toward the backyard.
After the news spread within the hospital that Yi Zhonghai had retained his fourth-level worker status...
Cao Wei was not surprised to hear this news; in fact, he sneered as he spoke.
"Ha, I knew it."
There is almost only one possibility: the old deaf man and Director Yang have already made contact.
A thorny problem seemed to be looming over Cao Wei: if he wanted to live a more comfortable life in the future, he either had to hurry up and bring down this Factory Director Yang, or he had to take action against this old deaf man.
On the other side, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly arrived at the old deaf man's door and knocked.
He first exchanged a few perfunctory pleasantries, then expressed himself with some impatience.
"Grandma, this must have been your doing, right? Do you think I still have a chance to advance in the future?"
