Chapter 645 Xu Guochu is here
Liu De found that Zheng Guoyuan looked worried after coming back from a trip in the morning, and he didn't know what had happened.
Before leaving get off work, Liu De took something to Zheng Guoyuan for his signature, and he almost signed in the wrong place, which had never happened before.
Unable to resist, Liu De asked Zheng Guoyuan what was going on. Zheng Guoyuan thought about it and asked Liu De to find Xiao Qiang. After Xiao Qiang arrived and closed the office door, he told the two of them what happened today.
After listening to Zheng Guoyuan's story, Liu De and Xiao Qiang couldn't help but look at each other.
They are not stupid. There would be no problem if this matter was taken out separately, but considering that Director Shi first mentioned the letter of complaint and then mentioned the investigation and verification, the article here is intriguing.
"I know Xu Guochu." Xiao Qiang frowned as he smoked a cigarette and said, "This guy is just a speculator. If he wasn't just a small fry at that time and had someone protecting him, he would have been liquidated a few years ago."
"This kid has a lot of bad habits. Not to mention being lazy and gluttonous, but also regarding issues of gender, I heard that he had unclear relationships with several women outside. A few years ago, he got into trouble and was beaten up. He has been much quieter in the past two years, but he is definitely not a good guy. He wants to be the secretary? This..." At this point, Xiao Qiang couldn't help shaking his head.
"Ah!" Liu De didn't know Xu Guochu well, and was stunned after hearing what Xiao Qiang said. He immediately asked, "What's wrong with Director Shi? It would be fine if you sent a secretary here, but why did you send such a bastard?"
"Old Liu, you don't know." Xiao Qiang smiled bitterly, "Xu Guochu and Director Shi are relatives . He usually calls Director Shi his cousin..."
"Pa!" With a loud bang, Liu De slapped the table with such great force that the teacups on it made a loud noise.
"Isn't this nepotism? A good pot of soup has been let in by a bad apple. What good can come from having such a person here? No! We can't just watch this happen. If he really brings him here, our Quanlin Factory will be in big trouble. I have to report this to the higher-ups. No matter what, I can't let him do this!"
As he said that, Liu De stood up, as if he was going to look for someone. Xiao Qiang, who was standing beside him, saw this and quickly grabbed him.
"Why are you pulling me?" Liu De glared and asked, "What? Are you planning to watch this Xu what?"
"Xu Guochu!"
"Yes! Xu Guochu! Do you really intend to see Xu Guochu come to our factory as the secretary? Don't be confused. What good will come from such a person coming to our factory? Moreover, he is here to be the secretary, not an employee! Old Zheng has been shouldering the responsibilities of both secretary and factory director for many years, and he has done a good job. Isn't this equivalent to removing his position as secretary? Director Shi is the superior leader, but don't forget that our factory is not a state-owned enterprise, but a collective enterprise! The leaders above only have a part-time job in charge of our factory, and the factory's operating decisions are made by the collective. What right does he have to say that he wants to squeeze someone in?"
"I say, what's wrong with you, Old Liu?" Xiao Qiang asked anxiously, "It explodes like a firecracker? Can we ask the leader for help on this matter?"
"Why can't I find him?" Liu De asked back, "Xu Guochu is not suitable to come to our factory, let alone be the secretary. As the deputy director, I have the right to raise objections ! What's the matter? Has the world changed? Not to mention that I am the deputy director, even an ordinary person has the right to report the situation, why can't I? Don't worry, I'm not stupid, I won't go to Director Shi to talk about this, I will go directly to the senior leaders above, I don't believe that there is no place for reason in this world?"
"You, you, you refuse to admit that you are stupid?" Xiao Qiang stroked his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget about the report letter. Lao Zheng will be investigated next. Who will investigate? Who will write the results of the investigation? Think about it carefully!"
Liu De was stunned, and instantly became silent like a deflated ball. He stood there blankly, subconsciously glanced at Zheng Guoyuan who had been smoking without saying a word, and finally sighed and sat down.
Xiao Qiang was right. He couldn't stop this. If he could, Zheng Guoyuan would have stopped it long ago.
Director Shi had planned it all out. Holding Zheng Guoyuan's letter of complaint in his hand, he took the opportunity to arrange Xu Guochu to work at Quanlin Factory, one thing leading to another.
If Quanlin Factory objects to this arrangement, Director Shi’s backup plan will be used. What will Zheng Guoyuan do then?
This is no small matter. Although the situation is much more relaxed now, it is still difficult to explain what Zheng Guoyuan did if we really want to investigate.
If you meet a leader who understands you, at most he will not support or oppose you and put the issue on hold. If the leader wants to target you, this matter is serious. If it is taken too far, Zheng Guoyuan may lose his position as the factory director, or even have more serious consequences.
This is also the main reason why Zheng Guoyuan is depressed. He is very clear about the cause and effect, and knows that this is the only thing he can accept under such circumstances.
It was normal for Liu De to be angry just now. It was all thanks to Zheng Guoyuan that Quanlin Factory finally had the good times it has today.
As Zheng Guoyuan's old partner, he has been doing his job as his deputy over the years, watching the Quanlin Factory gradually change and grow stronger under Zheng Guoyuan's efforts.
Of course, this is also inseparable from the current reform and opening up. If there is no change in the outside world due to reform and opening up, even the most capable people will not be able to display their abilities.
But then again, even if external factors are present, the business cannot be established without a good leader. The two are interdependent and neither is indispensable.
It doesn’t matter who is missing from Quanlin Factory, even if Liu De and Xiao Qiang leave, but Zheng Guoyuan is the only person who cannot be missing.
Is the Quanlin Factory still the Quanlin Factory without Zheng Guoyuan? Liu De and Xiao Qiang have the same answer in their minds.
Now, faced with a dilemma, he could only choose the lesser of two options. Even if he could no longer accept someone like Xu Guochu, he had to bear it with him.
"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore." Zheng Guoyuan put out his cigarette in the ashtray and looked up.
"Old Zheng, but..." Liu De opened his mouth to say something, but before he could finish his words, Zheng Guoyuan waved his hand to stop him.
"No buts. The leader has already made the decision. We just need to execute it." Zheng Guoyuan forced a smile and said to the two of them seriously, "I called you here to talk to you first and then discuss the work arrangements after Secretary Xu arrives."
"We are a collective factory, which is different from state-owned factories. I used to select the factory secretary, but things are different after Secretary Xu came. No matter what rumors there are outside, you must remember one thing! Comrade Xu Guochu is the factory secretary appointed by the superiors. He is the factory leader. You should still respect the leaders and your comrades. You should discuss work with each other. As for the daily work of the Party Committee, you will report to Secretary Xu in the future..."
Zheng Guoyuan said a lot, which was nothing more than the arrangements for future work and the division of responsibilities.
Liu De and Xiao Qiang listened carefully. Although they were very depressed, they felt that Zheng Guoyuan was right. The result could not be changed. Xu Guochu had already decided to come to Quanlin Factory, and they could not stop him.
For now, we can only hope that Xu Guochu is not as bad as the outside world has rumored, or that he won't do anything too excessive after he comes. At least everyone can get along on the surface.
After all, Director Shi is standing behind Xu Guochu. If he shows an attitude of not cooperating with Xu Guochu or even directly excludes him, will Director Shi let it go?
If Director Shi misunderstands that this is Zheng Guoyuan's trick, then Director Shi's reaction is imaginable. Don't forget that the so-called investigation and verification power is still in Director Shi's hands. What if...
Thinking of this, Liu De subconsciously looked to his side and found that Xiao Qiang was also looking at him at the same time.
The two looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes. At the same time, an idea suddenly emerged in his mind.
"Is this report letter true or false? Does it exist or not?"
Liu De couldn't help but ponder it, but after thinking for a moment he shook his head. There was no point in pursuing such a matter. "A stamp costs 5 cents, and it makes the other party feel disgusted for several years." This kind of thing has happened before.
After Zheng Guoyuan finished speaking, the two nodded and immediately expressed that they would cooperate with the new comrade Xu Guochu to do a good job. But at the same time, they were secretly thinking in their hearts, what if Xu Guochu messed up after he came?
However, this idea was quickly dispelled in the minds of Liu De and Xiao Qiang. The team of Quanlin Factory is still good. The three of them have been partners for a long time and cooperate with each other tacitly. They are not only comrades at work, but also friends in life.
What can Xu Guochu do to them? Even if he is the secretary.
It is not impossible to pretend to obey while secretly disobeying, or to join forces to undermine Xu Guochu, but it is too obvious, and as Zheng Guoyuan reminded us, it should never be done unless it is absolutely necessary.
But then again, even a rabbit will bite when it gets angry? No one wants to see a situation where both the fish and the net are broken, but sometimes things are really hard to predict.
I just hope Xu Guochu can be more sensible, do his job as secretary well, and they do their jobs, and everyone keeps to themselves, then wouldn't it be nice if the world could be at peace?
A few days after Zheng Guoyuan talked with Liu De and Xiao Qiang, he received a notice from above, and the order to appoint Comrade Xu Guochu as a senior party official of Quanlin Factory was officially issued. The next day after the order was issued, Xu Guochu came to Quanlin Factory accompanied by the regional section chief Wang and officially took office.
Xu Guochu is about forty years old, about the same age as Zheng Guoyuan. He looks good, with a wide nose, a big mouth, and a square face. He looks decent, but his eyes are a little...
In response to Xu Guochu's arrival, Quanlin Factory took a very high-profile attitude. Factory Director Zheng Guoyuan, Liu De, Xiao Qiang and several cadres from other departments welcomed him at the factory gate.
When they met, Section Chief Wang gave everyone a brief introduction. When Xu Guochu heard that the man opposite him was Zheng Guoyuan from Quanlin Factory, he smiled and took the initiative to extend his hands to Zheng Guoyuan.
The two sides shook hands warmly, then laughed and talked as they entered the factory...
