Chapter 271: Storm is Coming
Coming out of Director Li's room, Chu Yang saw Director Xie who was anxiously waiting outside.
I don’t know if it’s fate or just a narrow road for enemies.
When President Xie saw Chu Yang coming out of Director Li's office, he was obviously stunned for a moment and kept staring at Chu Yang. He really didn't expect that Chu Yang also had the qualifications for a late-night conversation, and was even ahead of him.
He began to feel a little regretful that he had let Chu Yang go.
His surplus value had not been squeezed out, and he would have been suppressed and would never have had a chance to turn things around, but this happened unexpectedly.
He turned over so quickly.
Chu Yang looked at Mr. Xie with the attitude of a winner, but there was no communication. They just passed each other. Mr. Xie, you and I will no longer have friendship from now on. We will just be colleagues.
Chu Yang returned to his room nervously. Zhang Keyi was gone, but there was still a faint fragrance in the quilt.
Chu Yang took off his clothes and lay on the bed, thinking about what Director Li had just said. He felt a little emotional. He had worked hard for half a year to gain recognition from some people, but it seemed that when the time came, he still couldn't resist a word from him.
In the end, I still relied on Zhiying's relationship and took a shortcut, but this shortcut was too easy to take. Why should I refuse it? It doesn't matter what path it is, as long as I can reach the top. Besides, I'm not a gigolo.
At least I eat while standing, so I have dignity.
After letting go of the psychological burden, Chu Yang suddenly felt refreshed, thinking that the days ahead would be much smoother. In any case, he still got his approval and started on the road again, although his methods were a bit despicable, even shameless.
But what can we do?
Only when you successfully stand on a high place can you not be blocked by the mountains and not be afraid of the clouds blocking your view. So don’t easily accuse those who are climbing below of despicable means. You don’t know what they have been through.
He is not despicable. Not to mention climbing to the top of the mountain, he may fall into the abyss at any time.
Chu Yang looked at the ceiling.
I waited until my eyes started to ache before I slowly fell asleep.
I had a dream that I was knocked to death by Mr. Li.
…
Early the next morning, Mr. Li was about to leave, so Mr. Xie naturally brought a group of people to see him off.
If you don't send it to me, you will die.
Director Li was quite polite and shook hands with everyone except Chu Yang.
I don’t know what it means.
Treat yourself differently.
It made me very embarrassed.
At the last moment, Mr. Xie got a large box of things from somewhere and wanted to load it into the trunk of Mr. Li's car.
A familiar taste.
A familiar tactic.
Director Li looked at him seriously and asked, "Xie Keyan, what are you doing?"
This is a question you ask even though you already know the answer.
Mr. Xie remained calm and replied humbly, "Mr. Xie, it's rare for you to come to our booth. According to our custom, we have to prepare some local specialties or souvenirs for everyone. The donkey meat here is good . I'll prepare a few pounds for you and Minister Zhang, as well as some Dancong tea from here. It tastes pretty good."
Mr. Xie is really awesome. When it comes to extending favors, he always does a great job.
But this time it’s a bit unacceptable. Just give me a few pounds of donkey meat?
It's so embarrassing.
You gave away a lot of skins during the last expert review.
Do you look down on Mr. Li?
Director Li frowned slightly and asked coldly, "Where is this custom? Who came up with this custom? It seems that this is not the first time you have done this. How dare you do this openly in front of me?"
Mr. Li, stop pretending.
When Mr. Xie heard this, he felt a little panicked and replied hesitantly: "Mr. Li, this is our custom in Butai City. This is how we treat guests in Butai. This is not a violation, right?"
Including his previous life, Chu Yang had been in Butai for more than ten years, and he didn't know there was such a broken tradition. He could only say that the gifts given by others were really good, and they could always justify themselves, and it wasn't embarrassing at all.
Director Li looked at him and said calmly, "For this kind of custom, I think it's better to have less. Take it away. We don't need it. We can come back to eat next time."
After Mr. Li finished speaking, he got in the car and left.
Since Mr. Li refused to accept it, the others didn’t dare to accept it either, and they all got into the car.
Chu Yang saw that Mr. Xie had a very unhappy expression on his face, but he could do nothing about it and could only sigh unwillingly.
This scene is a bit sad.
However, it can be seen from this that the conversation between Mr. Xie and Mr. Li last night was not very smooth.
"Chu Yang, why don't we give this meat to you and Mr. Tian?" Mr. Tian rushed back to Bula after chatting with Mr. Li last night, so he is not here today.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie. I appreciate your kindness."
Chu Yang waved his hand and returned to Bula.
Mr. Xie stood there with a somewhat ferocious expression.
…
It's back to normal working hours.
Nothing has changed yet.
But many things seem to be going on at a rapid pace.
When he returned to the office this morning, Sister Hua came over to remind Chu Yang and asked him to check the company's portal. Chu Yang then opened it and saw that the manuscript he wrote, "Helping Rural Power Grids Accelerate Reform, Mr. Li is at the Front Line," had already taken the lead in the municipal and provincial companies and continued to ferment.
This time Chu Yang's name finally appeared.
Of course there is another name called Deputy Director Gao.
Chu Yang didn’t know whether Director Lai was afraid or cowardly, but he didn’t dare to add the name anyway.
This time, the manuscript was very simple. Chu Yang did not need to use fancy words. He could make it to the front page just by simply telling a few ordinary things and adding a few ordinary photos. Because it contained the glorious and majestic photo of Mr. Li, this manuscript was destined to be extraordinary.
Although this was a manuscript written by Chu Yang, at this moment, looking at the manuscript he wrote, he felt a little unfamiliar. He could really find a balance between truth and hypocrisy.
The cameraman is really good. He perfectly captured Mr. Li's kindness and gentleness. Especially the one where Mr. Li shakes hands with the bedridden old grandmother. If it is put in the photography exhibition, it will probably be an award-winning work.
Looking at this manuscript and this photo, it is hard not to have the illusion that this is a truly noble person.
This is the horror of public opinion, and this is the power of words. No wonder emperors always want to control public opinion, control words, and engage in personality cult. This is the so-called imperial technique.
After Director Li's inspection, the Bula Company became relatively calm for a while, and Director Liang also restrained himself a lot. Lai Gou seemed to have had his teeth pulled out. He was very quiet these past few days. When he came to arrange work, he was polite and seemed to be very anxious inside.
The storm is coming.
Undercurrent is surging.
The company held a cadre meeting today.
Mr. Tian lost his temper for the first time at the meeting and was angry at Director Lai as well.
They angrily accused him of being self-righteous, acting on his own, and engaging in false propaganda, which put the company in dire straits. He also accepted bribes, colluded with various logistical support manufacturers of the company, and took huge kickbacks.
It seems that Mr. Tian has been holding back these days because he has found evidence.
Not a fool.
Director Lai was desperate and retorted, "Boss Tian, I admit the manuscript issue last time, but it didn't cause much fault. At least our company became famous after Boss Li came here. And what about the kickbacks you mentioned? Which department doesn't take kickbacks? The company has always done this under the leadership of Boss Wen. Why do you say there is a problem?"
He actually knew that President Tian was investigating him, and he had shown signs of weakness in the past few days, but President Tian still wouldn't let him go. Hearing him say this, the directors of other departments all felt a little resentful. If you want to die, just die, but don't drag us into this.
"Director Lai, I feel really bad that you can say such things. It seems that you don't recognize your mistakes at all. I didn't want to make things worse. In this case, I will ask the disciplinary inspection department to intervene. I want to see if there is any problem with you."
At this moment, the air in the conference hall froze for a moment.
It was obvious that Director Lai was nervous, his face turned pale, and his breathing changed. He glanced at President Liang and was about to retort, but President Liang gave him a look, and he immediately became like a deflated balloon, and became speechless.
