Outside the window, a light rain was drizzling. It brings a burst of soothing coolness.

It is said that there is a burst of autumn rain and a burst of coolness. After autumn. Every time it rains. Temperatures will drop. in the streets and alleys. All kinds of cool summer clothes that bloom with enchantment are almost gone. Instead. It's colorful. Autumn clothes full of temperament.

In a huge office. It's as silent as death. Zhou Qiang sat on his large and soft sofa chair and smoked. There was no expression on his face. It seems that he didn't take the dismissal of Lin Chendui to heart at all.

The few people sitting across from him weren't so calm. The expressions are different. But they all seemed a little flustered and confused. It was as if a catastrophe was coming. Smoked non-stop. Smoke one after the other. A dozen cigarette butts soon appeared in the ashtray. But there is no intention of stopping. Each and every one of them spoke. looked at Zhou Qiang with dead eyes. Waiting for him to speak.

"Brother-in-law. Now what do we do. "It was dull for a while. Liang Wenli finally couldn't help it. Extinguish the cigarette butt in your hand in the ashtray. Full of panic, he said: "Do you just sit back and wait for death?" ”

"yes." A chubby middle-aged man said angrily: "Later, Yan Weibin's anti-bone boy will hold a meeting of middle-level cadres." Paralyzing. What is it. I really think of myself as a factory director. Cousin. Just send a word. I can guarantee it. No one dared to attend his meeting. ”

"Yes. Take a chicken feather and use it as an arrow. I really thought that Lin Chendui ordered his general. He's the factory director. in this factory. No second uncle has you spoken. Who takes him seriously. Li Qiang, who was still red and swollen on half of his face, also shouted angrily.

A few people began to talk nonsense. Almost all of them are denunciations of Yan Weibin. Accuse him of not being authentic. And I can't help myself. was provoked by Lin Chendu's words.

Zhou Qiang's originally dignified expression showed a hint of relaxation. He pulled a few cigarettes out of his cigarette case and threw them to some people. A faint smile appeared on his face: "Hehe." Everyone has nothing to be nervous about. Yan Weibin became the factory director. That's a good thing. Everyone's colleagues. We should be happy for him. I'll see you later. All of you go and participate. I don't hear it. No one is allowed to be absent. ”

"How's that going to work?" Liang Wenli was stunned for a moment. said angrily: "What is he, Yan Weibin?" I can also be a factory manager. And without your consent brother-in-law, you convened a meeting of middle-level cadres without authorization. I didn't take you brother-in-law seriously at all. How can we save face for him? ”

"Second uncle. As soon as I saw his villainous look. I can't wait to slap him twice. I see. It's just to give him a good look. Don't think he's really the factory director. There is only one soul of this Dongjiang Iron and Steel Plant. That's you, second uncle. You say he's he, he's who. Otherwise. He's not even shit......"

"Fart." Zhou Qiang slapped the table. He scolded sharply: "Simple-minded. The limbs are well developed. You're in trouble all day. There is something else you can do to save me. It's not okay to talk too much. Don't talk to no one when you're mute. ”

Li Qiang was scolded by Zhou Qiang. His face was extremely ugly with red and white. There was a hint of hatred in his eyes. He hung his head in a daze. But in his heart, he scolded: "Paralyzed." You were angry with Lin Chendu. me. Isn't this also busy for you? ”

Seeing that Zhou Qiang was angry. Everyone else was terrified. The atmosphere did not dare to come out. Zhou Qiang has been the leader for so many years. In the steel mill, it is the master of everything. The majesty that has accumulated over the years. Let him instantly exude a huge aura. And the crowd has long been accustomed to obedience. He didn't dare to say anything in his fire.

After a while. The chubby man smiled and persuaded, "Forget it." Cousin. Xiaoqiang, isn't this also a grievance for you. To blame. It's still to blame Lin Chendui and that anti-bone boy. If it weren't for them. How can there be such troubles? ”

I saw that someone spoke for him. Li Qiang looked at Zhou Qiang's cold face. opened his mouth. Muttered in defense, "yes." Second uncle. I'm not doing well. But it's all about protecting you. ”

Zhou Qiang's face was gloomy like water. He glanced at Li Qiang, who was full of grievances. I looked at the others again. He sighed lightly and said, "Of course I know that everyone is for my good. It's for the benefit of us as a whole. But the more so. The less impulsive you are. Listen to me. Obediently go to the meeting. Don't mess around. ”

"Yes. But we're just going to do nothing. Liang Wenli said in disbelief: "Damn." Now they all say that he Yan Weibin is the factory director. Many people have already started to run to hug his thighs in a hurry. Don't give him a look. Others really think that brother-in-law you are in a slump. ”

"Cousin. It's not like your personality. When did you become so indecisive. Timid and afraid. Now there are many people who are in the limelight. All kinds of rumors are spreading. They all say we're going to be unlucky. Don't make any effort. Wouldn't it be even more impressive? When the time comes. People were all dragged away by the anti-bone boy. Is there still a place for us? The chubby man was also a little emotional. The louder he spoke, the louder he spoke. Speaking of which, in the end. He stood up suddenly. It seems that he wants to express his dissatisfaction in this way.

"Xue Yong. Don't get excited. I said I'll just let it go. Do nothing. Zhou Qiang smiled slightly. Motioning for the chubby man to sit down first. Then he said in a deep voice: "First." I'm the factory director. is appointed by the organization. It's not that he Lin Chenwan said to be dismissed. At least. His approach is not procedural. Second. Even if Yan Weibin became the factory director. So what. All core departments and agencies. It's all firmly in our hands. He was alone. What a storm it can withstand? It's not like we're playing with applause. At best, it's a puppet. ”

"So. You must attend this meeting. Don't be absent. I want you to go and see what the hell Yan Weibin is trying to do. Other than that. Take a good look at the power in your respective hands. Don't let him have a loophole. You're here. I have the capital to make a comeback. ”

Xue Yong scratched his head. Suddenly he smiled and said, "Hehe." It turns out that cousin, you have already figured it out. I mean, I'm dying at this point. You can also sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. Rest assured. Don't let him lose face today. I won't be surnamed Xue. ”

Zhou Qiang smiled and waved his hand. "No, I don't. Don't make trouble. Remember one sentence. Just be cautious in what you say and do. Especially on the eve of the restructuring of this enterprise. You can't be too careful. Is that right. "Be cautious in words and deeds". deliberately accentuated the tone.

The crowd laughed meaningfully.

When Zhou Qiang was the only one left in the office. The smile on his face faded. He stood up. Look at this office of more than 60 square meters. For no reason, I felt an unprecedented sense of depression and crisis.

Although just now in front of cronies. He behaved calmly. A firm grasp of the overall situation. But deep down he knew it. What kind of danger will you face? Lin Chendu's young and handsome face. It's like a devil who can devour people's souls. It makes people have nightmares when they fall asleep. And when he realized that he was being targeted by Lin Chendu. I don't feel comfortable all over. It was as if some kind of terrible future was foreseen.

The director of the factory said that he had done it. And how much more so than anyone else. Maybe to Lin Chen. It's too lazy to bother to search for gods. I really want to count on them to contain Yan Weibin. It's a bit wishful thinking. Yan Weibin is a person he understands. Don't look at the usual submissive person. There is no assertiveness or courage. Just a good gentleman. But people's hearts are ambitious. And once this devil is unleashed. It's hard to be contained.

Zhou Qiang didn't know how Lin Chenwan chose Yan Weibin. But I know. This is his fatal weakness. For Lin Chendu. What you want may not be stability. It's about keeping them at bay. so that he can calmly arrange. Take advantage of the fisherman. In his chess game. Yan Weibin is at best a pawn who charges into battle. It's a pity that he didn't have this awareness.

Of course. Even if you know. You don't have to be able to resist temptation. If it is Zhou Qiang himself. I won't hesitate to give it a fight.

Zhou Qiang closed his eyes. Leaning weakly on a soft backrest. Tired all over. Really tired. For so many years. Climb up with all your heart. Intrigue and intrigue. I really haven't had a day to spare. He himself had some thoughts in his heart. But he knew. I've sunk too deep and too deep. There is no turning back. There is only one way to go to the dark. And no matter how tortuous the road will be.

"When did I, Zhou Qiang, be afraid of people." He sneered in his mouth. Zhou Qiang opened his eyes suddenly. The moment you open your eyes. It has returned to its former cold and capable state. He looked at the clock hanging across from him. I picked up the phone on the table. Dialed a number. Then he took the microphone and waited respectfully for the answer from the other side.

"Hey. Is it Director Chen? Hehe. I'm Zhou Qiang from Wuxi. Right. Right. It's me. It's like this, Director Chen. I have something I want to report to Mr. Wang. I don't know if I have time. Good. I'll wait for your call. I'm really sorry for you, Director Chen. Thank you for your kindness, ......"

After gently putting the phone down. Zhou Qiang couldn't help but let out a long breath. Stop. Every time you talk to someone on the phone. He felt like he was about to suffocate. If not as a last resort. He really wouldn't make that call.

Immediately. The corners of Zhou Qiang's mouth pulled up a smug smile again. Everyone else thinks. I was able to become the director of this factory. It is because Chen Jiagen is promoted and reused. This is not the case. Chen Jiagen is kind to him. But if there is no indication above. It's not that easy either.

No one even knew. When I was young. I inadvertently once rescued a leader who was branded as a rightist. And this leadership. It's high up now. The mighty king.
