Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 888: Being used as a gun!

After Zhao Yongjun left the Trade Department, he did not ride home, but went to his father-in-law's house. Seeing the old man having lunch, he immediately complained to him: "Dad! Wu Aiguo from the Trade Department is really too much! I took Xiao Zhong to report to the Trade Department, but when this guy saw me reporting, he ignored me."

The old man, who was having dinner, heard Zhao Yongjun's complaint and learned that Zhao Yongjun had bypassed the Organization Department and reported to the Trade Department with the transfer order. He immediately showed an incredible expression on his face and asked Zhao Yongjun, "Zhao Yongjun! What did you just say? You reported to the Trade Department with the transfer order, and took Xiao Zhong with you? Are you telling the truth?"

Zhao Yongjun, who was angry at the time, did not feel that his grandfather was wrong when he heard his grandfather's question. Instead, he answered as a matter of course: "Dad! After I received the transfer order this morning, I asked the unit to issue a transfer letter for Xiao Zhong as well, and took Xiao Zhong to report to the Trade Department."

"When I arrived at the Trade Department, Wu Aiguo was eating in the cafeteria. I took out the transfer order and told Wu Aiguo why I was there. But Wu Aiguo ignored me and just left with his lunch box."

"What's even more infuriating is that when the employees in the Trade Department saw how Wu Aiguo treated me, they all followed suit and didn't take me, the G Committee Director, seriously at all."

When the old man heard what Zhao Yongjun said, he learned that Zhao Yongjun not only took the transfer order and ran to the Trade Department to take up the post without waiting for the organizational procedures to be completed, but also brought a correspondent with him. This made the old man so angry that he almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Zhao Yongjun's father-in-law is named Xue Dehua, an old cadre who is about to retire. Although he seldom comes into contact with Wu Aiguo, he has some understanding of Wu Aiguo's character. So after hearing what Zhao Yongjun introduced, he immediately realized that when Zhao Yongjun took office at the Trade Bureau, he must have offended Wu Aiguo by taking advantage of his position.

Seeing Zhao Yongjun's self-righteous look, Xue Dehua angrily questioned Zhao Yongjun: "Zhao Yongjun! You are a cadre after all. Don't you know that everything should be done according to the organizational procedures? The Organization Department hasn't talked to Wu Aiguo yet, but you took the transfer order and ran to the Trade Department. Aren't you disorganized and undisciplined?"

When Zhao Yongjun heard Xue Dehua's angry rebuke, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong. Instead, he argued, "Dad! Isn't this a special period, and we need special treatment? And Director Chen from the Organization Department told me that because of the special circumstances, I can take the transfer order and take up the post first. The subsequent procedures will be completed after the organization's procedures are completed."

"I took the transfer order and asked the personnel department of the Trade Department to help me complete the follow-up procedures. As a result, the head of the personnel department was not in the Trade Department. He said he had asked for leave to go home. Isn't this obviously a showdown with me?"

When Xue Dehua heard Zhao Yongjun's answer, he immediately realized that Zhao Yongjun was being used as a pawn. Seeing that Zhao Yongjun did not realize the seriousness of the problem at all, Xue Dehua asked Zhao Yongjun in a serious manner: "Zhao Yongjun! Tell me the truth. When you took the transfer order to see Wu Aiguo, did you do anything against Wu Aiguo that you shouldn't have done?"

When Zhao Yongjun heard Xue Dehua's question and saw Xue Dehua's serious expression, he thought of what happened in the canteen of the Trade Bureau, where he used the food of the Trade Bureau to try to intimidate Wu Aiguo.

Then he introduced it to Xue Dehua: "Dad! I heard that the food in the canteen of the Trade Department is very good, and there is meat supply almost every day, so I chose to go to the Trade Department to take office during lunch time. Although I didn't see any meat, I did see a dish of fried cabbage with lard residue." "At that time, I thought this was a good opportunity to establish my prestige, so I used this matter to cause trouble for Wu Aiguo. Unexpectedly, Wu Aiguo ignored my existence and left the canteen directly with his lunch box."

The food at the Trade Bureau is the best among all departments in the city. It is no secret at all in Kyoto City, but no one can find any fault with it. As a result, Zhao Yongjun bypassed the Organization Department to report to the Trade Bureau, and even attempted to use the problem of excessive food in the Trade Bureau to undermine Wu Aiguo's prestige in the Trade Bureau. Isn't this simply digging a hole for himself?

Thinking about how You Changzheng was full of vigor and ambition before he was transferred to the Trade Department, and how he ended up being imprisoned and even caused the old man of the You family to be promoted to the second line in advance, Xue Dehua felt a little regretful at this moment. He regretted helping Zhao Yongjun to fight for this position.

Xue Dehua stared at Zhao Yongjun angrily, and cursed him with a serious expression: "Zhao Yongjun! You idiot! The food in the Trade Department is good. It is an open secret in all departments of Jingcheng City. Even the disciplinary supervision department of the Administrative Council sent someone to investigate the food in the Trade Department. In the end, they could not find any problems, which only helped Wu Aiguo's good reputation."

"And you, a fool, have just reported for work and haven't even established a firm foothold in the Trade Department, but you're using the benefits of all the employees in the Trade Department to cause trouble for Wu Aiguo. Aren't you going to push everyone in the Trade Department to your side? Are you planning to be a lone G Committee director in the Trade Department in the future?"

"In addition, even Wu Aiguo, a bureau-level director, does not have a correspondent. You, a deputy-division-level G Committee director, actually took a correspondent with you. Do you think this is amazing? I think you are not suitable for the position of G Committee director of the Trade Department."

The Trade Department is the most popular department among all the departments in Kyoto City. After Zhao Yongjun confirmed the news that he would be transferred to the Trade Department, he made a promise in front of several second-generations that he would help them get a batch of equipment after he arrived at the Trade Department.

But now Xue Dehua thought that he was not suitable for this position, which made Zhao Yongjun's face change. He quickly said to Xue Dehua, "Dad! When the transfer order came down the day before yesterday, Director Chen specially invited me to dinner and introduced me to the two sons of the Jiang family and the Li family."

"During the meal, Master Jiang said that his elder brother was working in Jin Province and needed a large number of industrial equipment. He wanted me to help him get one or two batches of equipment after I arrived at the Trade Department. I saw that it was not a difficult task, so I agreed to Master Jiang's request. Now if you do not agree to let me transfer to the Trade Department, how can I fulfill my promise to Master Jiang?"

When Xue Dehua heard what Zhao Yongjun had said, he learned that Zhao Yongjun had not even taken up the post yet, yet he had actually made such a promise in front of outsiders. This made him so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Xue Dehua stared at Zhao Yongjun with a gloomy face, and asked him in a cold tone: "Zhao Yongjun! You Changzheng should be familiar with you, right? Compared with You Changzheng, who do you think is better in terms of personal ability? Or is You Changzheng better?"
