Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 118 Disaster
"Well, Chief Tian from the Propaganda Department went to the hospital to visit him in person. Xu Damao was caught having an affair and was almost beaten to death. If he hadn't been sent to the hospital in time, he would probably have died." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Hey, I really let you guess it. Xu Damao has a wife at home, but he is still fooling around outside. Isn't this just looking for trouble?" Zhou Qianqian said.

"Who says it's not true? His in-laws are not easy to deal with. Who knows how lively things will get next." Yang Zhenyu said.

"That's right. Our compound will probably be busy soon. We'd better not cause unrest among the people then." Zhou Qianqian said.

"It won't be a chaotic situation, but it will definitely be very lively. Maybe we'll have something exciting to watch." Yang Zhenyu laughed.

Others may not know, but Yang Zhenyu knows that Xu Damao is infertile. This time Xu Damao is in a coma, and the hospital must have given him a comprehensive examination. Will infertility be detected?

Thinking about it this way, it would be strange if there was peace in the compound.

Xu Damao's family is not a good group of people either, and who knows what trouble they might cause.

"Why are you smiling so evilly?" Zhou Qianqian said, rolling her eyes.

"Hey, I thought of something very interesting." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

Zhou Qianqian's belly is already very obvious now, and it will take her about two months to give birth.

"Sister Meifeng, your belly is so big now. You can just take a vacation early." Zhou Qianqian said, looking at Sha Meifeng's belly.

"This matter has spread all over the factory now. I guess you are the only one who doesn't know about it. It's being spread in all the workshops. I'm afraid Xu Damao is in big trouble this time." Sha Meifeng said.

Now it’s okay, the one above will definitely hold on.

"That's right. That's why I still envy you. It's different for those who graduate from school. People like me have to take a vacation early, but you can take a month later than me." Sha Meifeng said enviously.

State-owned factories cannot fire workers at will, but the negative impact that Xu Damao's incident had on the factory was quite large.

"What are you two talking about? You seem so happy?" Sha Meifeng looked at the two people curiously.

"I wanted to let her take a vacation as well, but she felt that staying at home was too boring and it would be more interesting to go out to work. I had no choice." Yang Zhenyu said with a bitter face.

"It's nothing. I just heard Brother Zhuzi talking about Xu Damao, so we chatted for a while." Yang Zhenyu explained.

The factory leaders have been busy with the affairs of the new branch during this period. Now that Xu Damao has caused such a mess and distracted the leaders, it would be strange if they didn't deal with him.

"Yeah, a few days won't make a difference. Actually, our schedules are about the same." Zhou Qianqian nodded.

"Well, after this month. There are only a few days left, it would be a shame to take a break." Sha Meifeng said with a smile.

"This incident has become such a big deal that the factory will probably be affected as well, causing heavy losses to the factory. I just don't know what the final outcome will be." Yang Zhenyu said after thinking for a while.

It already had a bad reputation, and the higher-ups just turned a blind eye.

According to Yang Zhenyu, it means taking an early vacation. Although there will be no salary, his family doesn't need it, so there is no need to force it.

However, Zhou Qianqian disagreed, which made Yang Zhenyu helpless. He couldn't force her.

The story about Xu Damao spread all over the factory before the end of the working day. The workers in the factory were eager to see the excitement and spread all kinds of stories. The legend of Xu Damao spread throughout the steel mill.

"Tian Qiwen, are you still okay? Ah? Look at what your Propaganda Department has done?" Secretary Liang said, slamming the table.

"Secretary, this... I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Although Xu Damao is a bit treacherous on weekdays, he is still reliable in doing things. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen." Tian Qiwen stood opposite Secretary Liang with sweat on his face. In his heart, he had already cursed Xu Damao's ancestors several times.

"Think of it? Do you even need to think of it? Right now is a critical moment for the factory, and you guys have caused such a big incident. People have already found the factory. Tell me, how should this matter be handled?"

"Now is a critical moment for our factory. If we lose the project because of this, not only you, but I will also be implicated. I might even offend the engineering department."

Secretary Liang sighed. He knew that it would be useless to curse. The thing had already happened, and he still had to find a way to solve the problem.

Otherwise, there might really be changes above.

"This……"

Tin Kai Man panicked immediately. Secretary Liang was his backer. If something happened to Secretary Liang and he offended the Engineering Department, which he was planning to join, how could he survive in the factory?
"The factory director is very dissatisfied with this matter. Just tell me how to deal with this matter and how to explain it to the villagers. Also, how to deal with the movie projector." Secretary Liang said, tapping the table with his hand.

How could Director Yang not be angry? He and Secretary Liang went to the Planning Commission of the Ministry every day. Wasn’t their purpose to take over the production branch of CNC machine tools?
But, such a thing happened at this time, isn't it just adding to the trouble?

"I think Xu Damao has caused heavy losses to the factory and should be fired. He should also be criticized in front of all the employees in the factory so that everyone in the factory will be more vigilant and never make such mistakes again..." Tian Qiwen said in a resounding voice.

"Criticism is definitely going to happen, not just in the entire factory, but also in several nearby streets. As for what happens next, that's up to the police," said Secretary Liang.

"Is it so serious?" Tin Kai Man said with his eyes wide open.

"This matter has become a big deal, and the villagers don't intend to let him go. Even if I came forward to meet with the villagers, they had no intention of relenting and just demanded severe punishment." Secretary Liang said helplessly.

At this critical moment, something like this happened in the factory and the higher-ups don’t know how to deal with it.

What if the project that has just been researched is taken away because of this incident?

Even more seriously, if the existing engineering department is taken away as a whole, it will be a disaster for the steel mill!
"It seems that it is impossible to save Xu Damao even if we want to." Tin Kai Man said with a wry smile.

"Save it? Haha, we don't even know what our superiors think of our factory." Secretary Liang said with a sneer.

"Okay, you should hurry up and hold a meeting with your Propaganda Department to emphasize that the projectionist is just doing his projection job. If he causes any other trouble, you will have to find a way to solve it yourself." Secretary Liang waved his hand and said.

Secretary Liang was also helpless. The incident had already happened and what was needed now was more about remedying the situation and minimizing the impact of the incident.

The factory handled the matter of Xu Damao very quickly, and a notice was posted directly on the bulletin board.

However, the result was not dismissal but suspension.

Because all the information now is brought by fellow villagers, we have to wait until Xu Damao wakes up before further research can reveal the specific details.

Although the factory was not willing to clean up Xu Damao's mess, it was impossible to deal with it directly at this time. With so many people in the factory watching, they still had to maintain the proper attitude.
