In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 482 Speechless
"He is a business partner in the oil city."

At this moment, Zeng Guangzhi's head was buzzing, and he felt as if he had been frozen in place, his mind filled with images of Ji Youwei and Ji Youde suddenly resigning.

Zeng Guangzhi subconsciously lit a cigarette, knowing that today was definitely the day the other party would make trouble for him.

"Big brother..." Ding Nian turned his head, somewhat bewildered.

"Don't speak," Zeng Guangzhi said in a low voice. "Things have come to this point, there's no point in saying anything more."

On the podium, Lao Chang stood there, holding several pages of reports, and began reading aloud in various official terms, all the way to the final ranking stage.

"Judging from this year's overall performance, Fanfan Repair Shop in Youcheng, Guangzhi Equipment Repair Company in Hecheng, and Cangyu Repair Equipment Factory in Mucheng are the top three partners."

As soon as Lao Chang finished speaking, those who knew what was good for them started applauding. In this meeting room, in addition to the bosses of the Eighth Bureau's partners from various cities, each person could bring two or three subordinates.

In total, there were fewer than twenty people in the entire venue, while the rest of the room was filled with project managers from various locations of the Eighth Bureau.

The scene was undeniably lively, but when Chang Bin got to this point, he suddenly put down the report in his hand and glanced indifferently across the room.

"Because our Eighth Bureau selects partners based not only on technical standards, but also on the overall image of the company," Chang Bin said, glancing at Yu Dawei in the audience. "Mr. Yu, among the top three companies, yours is ranked first, but due to some negative impressions from a while ago..."

"The higher-ups at the Eighth Bureau have decided to move your ranking down two places." After Chang Bin finished speaking, he turned and extended his hand towards Zeng Guangzhi. "Then this year's number one ranked company will be our Guangzhi Equipment Repair Company."

Although everyone present was usually busy with their own things, they were naturally aware of the gossip surrounding Fanfan's repair shop, which had been circulating wildly in the Eighth Bureau for quite some time.

Some bosses were quite satisfied with the result, such as Cangyu, the owner of the equipment repair shop with a mustache. He was quite happy, having inexplicably come in second place.

Currently, the cooperation rights for both Qiqihar and Harbin, the two main cities, are vacant. He can profit from either one, since Harbin and Qiqihar are not dominated by the Eighth Bureau alone, and there are more opportunities for cooperation between them.

"I object!"

As the applause gradually faded, Yu Dawei finally raised his arm and launched his all-out attack.

"Oh?" Manager Chang feigned surprise. "What reason do you have to object?"

The bosses and managers below also changed their expressions slightly, and some of the smart bosses from the Eighth Bureau's partners clearly sensed that something was wrong.

Yu Dawei stood up and looked at everyone present: "I think you all heard about it some time ago. Our Fanfan Repair Shop was dismissed because of an accident involving one of our employees."

"But everyone seems to have only heard the surface story. In reality, it was because his parents did not want their son to be in danger again, so they took him home to recover. And during his recovery, our factory continued to pay him his salary as usual."

Yu Dawei picked up the newspaper in his hand, and Lao Ji and Taozi next to him also handed out a stack of newspapers to the people in the first three rows one by one.

"This matter was even published in our county newspaper, which included an interview with a doctor from the county hospital." Yu Dawei turned to Chang Bin and asked, "Manager Chang, is it appropriate to use such absurd claims as evidence to damage the company's image? Isn't your decision as a senior leader a bit too hasty?"

As Yu Dawei spoke, he handed the newspaper he was holding to Chang Bin.

Newspapers are currently considered authoritative media outlets; after all, who would dare publish something false in them?

"You little brat, you didn't tell me about this part before!" Chang Bin muttered to Yu Dawei through gritted teeth as he took the newspaper.

Yu Dawei smiled without moving his lips, but his words came out softly: "I'll help you. Later, when the opportunity arises, I can teach those supervisors who usually oppose me a lesson."

"Ahem." Chang Bin glanced at the newspaper. "The newspaper is indeed praising them. I'd like to know, who in our Eighth Bureau is spreading rumors, and what are their thoughts and purposes?"

Some of the managers present had slightly changed expressions. Some of them were at odds with Chang Bin and wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of him, while others had chosen the wrong side and were on Ding Nian's side.

"Mr. Chang, after my investigation, I've roughly found the reason." Yu Dawei took out a recorder and handed it to Chang Bin.

Chang Bin knew what was inside. He glanced at it and began playing the contents of the tape in front of everyone.

This includes not only the conversations of the Eighth Bureau driver accepting bribes, but also the conversations of Zeng Lichun, a repairman at the oil city.

When Zeng Lichun mentioned Ding Nian, everyone's attention immediately turned to Guangzhi Equipment Repair Company.

Ding Nian and Zeng Guangzhi had also received the newspaper, which was delivered by Ji Youde. Now, Zeng Guangzhi no longer knew whether this "Ji Youde" was actually named Ji Youde.

When Zeng Guangzhi saw the various praises for Fanfan Repair Shop in the newspaper, he knew in his heart that the other party must have bribed the newspaper, but he was also certain that Fanfan Repair Shop was really doing it.

But now that this matter has been brought into the open, coupled with the various testimonies coming through the recording, Guangzhi Equipment Repair Company will likely become infamous in the industry. He felt some regret and understood.

Why didn't Yu Dawei show up at dinner last night, but instead had the other party's manager find him? He probably wanted to leave himself and others a chance.

Now that things have come to this, his "death" is not unjust. Arrogance and conceit are bad habits he developed over the years.

"Big brother..." Ding Nian was really panicked. He thought that Fanfan Repair Shop was just a small shop in the town, and even if he offended the other party, the other party would just silently suffer.

Now it seems that's not the case at all. Even if he's stupid, he can see that President Chang and Yu Dawei on stage are exchanging glances. Besides, it was President Chang who sent Yu Dawei and another person over to look at cars in the first place.

It's obvious they're in cahoots!
He's on friendly terms with the head of the Northeast branch of the Eighth Engineering Bureau! How can you compete with that?!

"Calm down!" Zeng Guangzhi glared at Ding Nian, feeling somewhat angry at his lack of ambition.

He is much older than Yu Da, but his attitude towards things is completely different!
When Yu Dawei encountered the robbers, he dared to fight them head-on! If it were Ding Nian, he probably would have surrendered long ago.

"Mr. Yu, do you want to collect other evidence?" Chang Bin asked, looking at Yu Dawei after playing the recording.

“Yes.” Yu Dawei stood up and continued, “One of the masterminds behind spreading this story has been brought to the scene by me.”

As Yu Dawei was speaking, three people suddenly walked in through the door: two tall men with a middle-aged man. The man had a square face and looked about seven or eight parts like Zeng Guangzhi.

"Yes, it was General Manager Ding Nian. In order for Guangzhi Equipment Repair Company to rank first and obtain the cooperation rights in Harbin, he asked me to find a way to smear Fanfan Repair Shop." Zeng Lichun said listlessly as soon as he entered the door.

"You're slandering me!" Ding Nian couldn't sit still any longer. Despite all the evidence right in front of him, he was like someone burying their head in the sand, desperately trying to defend himself, "I didn't do it! All of this was made up by Yu Dawei and his team!"

"Ridiculous. We have both witnesses and physical evidence. What else do you have to say?" Chang Bin waved to Zeng Lichun at the door.

Sun Shunli and Yao Jinfu understood each other perfectly and turned around to take Zeng Lichun away.

"Mr. Yu, is there any more?"

Yu Dawei grinned at Chang Bin: "There are a few more photos, but I think they're harmless enough now. Mr. Zeng, could you please explain them?"

"My Fanfan Repair Shop has no past grievances or recent feuds with you, so why are you being so aggressive?"

Zeng Guangzhi gave a wry smile, unsure of who was being so aggressive. He reached out and pressed Ding Nian down, looking at Yu Dawei apologetically: "I really didn't know about this matter. I'm very sorry for causing such a negative impact on your company. I'm willing to compensate your company with 100,000 yuan."

Zeng Guangzhi turned to look at President Chang: "Of course, it also had a negative impact on the Eighth Bureau, so our company has chosen to withdraw from this year's ranking and city selection."

Chang Bin gave Zeng Guangzhi a deep look, then shifted his gaze to Yu Dawei, wanting to see what the other party's attitude was.

Seeing the other party nod slightly, Chang Bin subconsciously raised an eyebrow before speaking, "Then let's do it that way."

At the meeting, thanks to Yu Dawei's compelling testimony, Fanfan Repair Shop secured first place as desired, and no one dared to utter a word about it.

It wasn't just because Fanfan Repair Shop itself had excellent technical skills; more importantly, the other party was very powerful in the Northeast region of the Eighth Bureau, and most people definitely couldn't afford to mess with them.

Having witnessed the true strength of Fanfan Repair Shop today, no boss will dare to underestimate a repair shop located in a small town anymore.

Some business owners were even afraid that their subordinates would become the next "Ding Nian" (a character from a popular TV show), so they quickly whispered to their subordinates that they should never mess with the people from Fanfan Repair Shop, no matter what.

Sitting in the third row, Supervisor Li, who was in charge of Section 316, sneered disdainfully at Ding Nian.

The old-timers at the Eighth Bureau branch all knew how incredibly powerful Yu Dawei's background was. This bastard didn't even bother to warn him before directly offending Yu Dawei to death.

If only I had talked to myself back then, none of this would have happened.

All I can say is that Ding Nian looks respectable, but he's not very bright. I should stay away from him in the future.

As for the 20,000 yuan worth of local specialties the other party gave him, he confiscated it from General Manager Chang that very night.

Since the money hasn't reached his hands yet, they'll be even from now on.
