Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 1065: Opportunity to Turn Things Around

On the second day after Chen Changan and his friends finished eating mutton hotpot, Director Zou also returned to the city with two security guards.

When Chen Changan and his group returned, there were people from the car factory to greet them, but Director Zou looked a bit miserable when he returned.

As soon as he stepped out of the train, a northwest wind blew and Director Zou shivered.

The two security guards didn't see it at all, but spoke to Director Zou.

"Director Zou has arrived at Sijiu City, and the two of us have completed our mission.

This trip to Zhongyuan Province has taken up quite a bit of time, and we have to report back to the bureau soon. Are you okay going back alone?"

Director Zou originally wanted to ask these two people if they didn’t feel cold?

He had just gotten off the train, and he neither put on a coat nor asked himself if he was cold.

But just as the two security guards got out of the car and were about to leave, Director Zou realized that Xiao Zhang was still lying in the hospital in Zhongyuan Province.

She is not your secretary and has no obligation to ask about your well-being.

After opening his mouth, Director Zou finally spoke.

“Okay, we’ve arrived at Sijiu City, so your mission is complete.

Although the task you two completed this time was not very good.

But for Director Wu's sake, I won't hold you accountable this time.

When you get back, tell Director Wu that I'm going to visit him after I finish what I'm doing."

The two men felt unhappy when they heard that Director Zou still acted like a superior leader.

Didn’t the two of them complete their mission well?

At that moment, hundreds of people rushed up with red eyes, holding all kinds of farm tools, not to mention that there were only two of them.

Even if there are twenty people, they can't stop him. It's good enough if they can put away their guns and protect themselves.

I can't just be stupid and actually shoot at those people, right? If I do that, I might really get beaten to death by them.

They are just on secondment and are not Director Zou's subordinates.

Although the two were unhappy, Director Zou's rank was there. Even if he was in a bad state now, they couldn't give him a cold shoulder.

After a simple response, he turned and left.

If it were in the past, given the attitudes of these two people, Director Zou would have called Director Wu to question how he arranged the people.

But now Director Zou can no longer care about these things. Returning to Sijiu City is like returning to his home ground.

After leaving the train station, Director Zou went straight to his superior's office, hoping that Chen Changan would not say too many bad things about him.

As long as he is still in charge of the entire department, he can still make a comeback with that foreign exchange.

However, Director Zou was worried because of the attitude of his superiors.

In the past, no matter what time it was, as long as I came, the leader would summon me as soon as possible even if he was busy.

But this time he made himself wait outside.

Although the heating was on high and much warmer than the weather outside, Director Zou still began to sweat.

On the surface, Director Zou remained calm, showing no signs of anxiety or fear.

But Director Zou, who was sitting on the chair, hid his slightly trembling hands.

This is a gathering place for smart people, and any tiny detail will be noticed.

Although Director Zou felt the change in his superiors' attitude deep down, he also knew that he was in great danger.

But I still hope that this time I just want to teach myself a small lesson and that I still have a chance to make a comeback.

Finally, after Director Zou waited for half a day, he finally walked into the office of his superior.

"lead."

Director Zou knew he was in the wrong, and looked at his superior who was still working on documents with his head down, and called out softly.

"Tell me, what did you do on this trip?

The head of a department was beaten as soon as he went there.

If you ask me, you might as well just die there and never come back."

The words from the superior immediately gave Director Zou hope.

It is said that if your superior scolds you, it means you can still be saved, but if he ignores you, then you are really finished.

"Leader, I didn't want to either, but the people from the Zhongnan Machinery Factory didn't even give me a chance to speak.

As soon as I revealed my identity, they rushed up with red eyes.

Chen Changan completely took advantage of me. When he went there, I was beaten and the workers were scared after that.

Then there is the issue of revitalizing the Central South Machinery Factory, which is just Chen Changan’s personal opinion.

Leader, Chen Changan took advantage of me. If I hadn't contacted the Zhongnan Machinery Factory first, he would have been beaten if he had gone there first."

"Okay, Chen Changan is smarter than you and understands the workers' minds better than you.

I know everything you two have done.

If you had followed Chen Changan's example and sought cooperation from the local government as soon as you arrived in Zhongyuan Province, how could such a thing have happened?

Do you really think that your identity works just fine in this city, and will work just fine in other places?

I think you're just used to being high and mighty in Beijing, and you don't understand the suffering of ordinary workers at all."

"Leader, considering that I have made many contributions to the country, please give me another chance to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions."

After hearing what Director Zou said, the superior who was not that angry at first suddenly became furious.

"Then tell me, what contribution have you made to the country?

Did they develop some world-leading high-tech for the country? Or did they earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country?

You should know that most of these military-to-civilian enterprises were your former subordinate units.

Logically speaking, you should be more familiar with these companies.

After the departments are merged, shouldn't you be responsible for trying to resolve these military-to-civilian factories?

But look at what you've done. Is it true that Director Gao's death had nothing to do with you?

Don't you feel any guilt at all? Doesn't your conscience really hurt?"

Do you really think that Director Gao’s old comrades are of no use at all?

They might not dare to confront Director Zou, who is at the pinnacle of political power.

But when Director Gao died, Chinese people believed that the dead are greater than the dead, so this gave the old cadres an excuse to speak out.

While Director Zou and Chen Changan took turns going to Zhongyuan Province, those veteran cadres were not idle.

Normally they couldn't find an excuse, so they were unusually low-key. But this time they had an excuse, and they all jumped out and started blaming Director Zou.

During this period, the superiors have received many old cadres who have long been out of touch with worldly affairs.

On the one hand, we must listen to the opinions of veteran cadres, and on the other hand, these are people who have made outstanding contributions to the country, so we must pay attention to our attitude.

For a while, the superiors were a little overwhelmed.
