Chapter 284 He Yuzhu was demoted
"Deputy Director Li, why did you come here in person?" When Lao Zhang saw Deputy Director Li walk in, a flattering smile immediately appeared on his face and he quickly walked forward to greet him.
Although he was confused in his heart, he did not dare to show any negligence on his face. After all, Deputy Director Li was a senior leader in the factory.
Deputy Director Li looked at the unfamiliar face in front of him. Although he didn't know him, he still smiled out of politeness and said in a friendly manner:
"Comrade, thank you for your hard work. The thing is, after discussion with our factory leaders, it has been decided that the person inside can be released. I came here specially to pick him up."
When Lao Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy, but then he looked embarrassed. Just as he was about to explain, he was interrupted by Xiao Liu beside him.
Xiao Liu was still young and didn't know how to read people's expressions. He stood in front of Deputy Director Li and said in a stiff tone, "Deputy Director Li, I'm sorry, we haven't received any notice and can't release him."
When Lao Zhang heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he cursed Xiao Liu in his heart for not knowing the rules. He quickly scolded: "Xiao Liu, shut up! How can you talk to Deputy Director Li like that? Apologize now!" As he said this, Lao Zhang did not forget to wink at Xiao Liu, signaling him to shut up quickly.
However, Xiao Liu did not seem to understand what Lao Zhang meant. He still stood there with a confused look on his face, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Seeing this, Lao Zhang was furious, but he also knew that now was not the time to lose his temper, so he could only continue to smile and say to Deputy Director Li:
"Deputy Director Li, please don't argue with Xiao Liu. He is young and doesn't know the rules. I will open the door for you. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, Lao Zhang quickly turned around and prepared to open the door, but in his heart he secretly cursed Xiao Liu, this blockhead, what a tactless guy.
"Okay, comrade, I understand this is a misunderstanding." Deputy Director Li stopped Lao Zhang with a smile, his eyes showing some appreciation for Xiao Liu. "How about this, one of you go ask the security department about the situation. I'll wait here for a while."
Seeing this, Lao Zhang quickly took over the conversation and said to Xiao Liu beside him: "Xiao Liu, you are young and fast, go to the security department to confirm with the director. I will stay here with Deputy Director Li."
When Xiao Liu heard what Lao Zhang said, he quickly nodded in agreement, turned around, and rushed out the door like an arrow, disappearing at the end of the corridor in the blink of an eye.
Old Zhang looked at Xiao Liu's back, sighed softly, then turned around with a smile on his face and said to Deputy Director Li:
"Deputy Director Li, please don't be surprised. Xiao Liu is a straightforward kid, but he is very serious about his work. During this period, He Yuzhu has been very quiet inside and has not caused any trouble."
Deputy Director Li nodded to show his understanding. Seeing this, Lao Zhang continued to talk about He Yuzhu's recent situation: "By the way, Deputy Director Li, do you know? In the afternoon, I heard something about He Yuzhu."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Deputy Director Li asked curiously.
Old Zhang lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "I heard that He Yuzhu was divorced. It's not my fault that I heard it. It was really because his sister He Yushui spoke so loudly at that time that it was hard for me not to hear it."
Deputy Director Li was slightly startled, frowning, with a complicated expression on his face. He felt a little guilty, knowing that this incident was related to him. If it weren't for him, He Yuzhu might not have been implicated.
Thinking of this, Deputy Director Li sighed softly, as if he had not expected that He Yuzhu's experience would be so tortuous.
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he sighed secretly and thought, "I don't know whether He Yuzhu is lucky or not. It's hard to say that he was caught by the security department, but he was released intact.
We agreed, but because of this incident, our family was torn apart. If we had known about this earlier, we might not have gotten a divorce." There was a hint of emotion and regret in his words.
At this moment, Xiao Liu ran back, panting. He did not speak directly to Deputy Director Li, but turned to Lao Zhang and said anxiously: "Brother Zhang, the director said we can go back and the people inside can be released."
When Lao Zhang heard this, a hint of joy instantly blossomed on his face, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his heart. He turned around quickly and walked briskly towards the door, saying to Deputy Director Li as he walked:
"Deputy Director, I'll open the door for you right away." There was a hint of respect and joy in his words.
After Lao Zhang opened the door and stood at the door, he smiled and said to Deputy Director Li: "Deputy Director, the door is open, we will leave first." Then he turned to Xiao Liu and said: "Xiao Liu, come with me."
Lao Zhang led Xiao Liu out of the door and began to lecture Xiao Liu as they walked: "Xiao Liu, you should be more careful in the future. You can't directly reject the leader's request like you did today."
As Xiao Liu listened to Lao Zhang's teachings, a smile appeared on his face. He nodded in agreement and made "hmm" sounds from time to time, appearing very respectful.
Deputy Director Li watched Zhang and Liu leave, and his opinion of Zhang changed. He used to think Zhang was rather flattering, but now he saw Zhang's attentiveness and sense of responsibility. He nodded secretly, and his evaluation of Zhang improved.
He Yuzhu heard the noise outside the door in his room, he stood up from the bed, walked to the table and sat down. He knew in his heart that he was about to be released, but he still felt a little complicated.
When the door was pushed open, He Yuzhu stood up and walked towards the door. He saw Deputy Director Li walking in with an apologetic look on his face.
Deputy Director Li looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Xiao He, I'm so sorry. It's all because of me that you were plotted against."
He Yuzhu looked at Deputy Director Li. Although there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, he quickly adjusted his mood and responded with a relaxed expression:
"Director Li, it's okay. I know I am also responsible for what happened this time. I was not careful enough. It's good enough that I can get out safely."
When Deputy Director Li heard what He Yuzhu said, he felt even more guilty. He knew He Yuzhu's talent and ability very well, and this incident was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
He took a deep breath and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Xiao He, the factory has made a decision on this matter. Although you may feel that it is a little unfair, please understand."
He paused and continued, "The factory plans to temporarily demote you to deputy director, but please rest assured that your salary and benefits will not change. Moreover, I believe this is only temporary. When I take over, I will definitely restore your original position as soon as possible."
When he said this, Deputy Director Li's expression was very serious, and his eyes were full of determination. He hoped that his words could give He Yuzhu some comfort and confidence.
After listening to Deputy Director Li's words, He Yuzhu felt a little disappointed, but he also understood that this was the factory's decision and he could not change it. He nodded to show his acceptance: "Director Li, I understand. I will work hard and will not let you down."
