Chapter 933 Returning the favor!

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Around 2 PM, the phone in Li Huaide's office suddenly rang. Hearing the ring, Li Huaide picked up the receiver and politely asked, "Hello! This is Li Huaide! Who is this?"

"Huai De! It's me! Have you heard? Jia Dongming from your factory's security department is being transferred to the Municipal Public Security Bureau to take charge of the Criminal Investigation Division!" Just as Li Huaide finished asking his question, Vice President Jiang's voice came through the phone.

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's explanation, Li Huaide's face showed shock. He quickly asked Vice President Jiang, "Dad! Who told you this? How come I didn't hear a thing?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question and sensing the shock in Li Huaide's words, Vice President Jiang calmly replied to Li Huaide, "I heard about this from Lao Yan in the department. Lao Yan said that the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau has been diagnosed with cancer and is unable to continue working on the front line. Therefore, the Municipal Bureau plans to transfer Jia Dongming from your steel rolling mill, and the process is already underway."

Upon confirming that Jia Dongming was to be transferred from the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide's first thought was of the position of head of the security department. He immediately asked Vice President Jiang, "Dad! Do you know who the Municipal Bureau will send to take over as head of the security department of our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill?"

When Vice President Jiang heard Li Huaide ask about the final candidate for the head of the security department, he said to Li Huaide, "Huaide! I'm not very clear about the specifics either. I think you should call Jia Dongming and ask him about the details."

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's suggestion, Li Huaide immediately understood what he meant and quickly replied, "Dad! I understand. I'll call Jia Dongming later and ask him who will be taking over his position, of course, the head of the security department."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Vice President Jiang replied, "The Security Department is different from other departments. See if you can take advantage of this opportunity to try and gain control of the Security Department! This will help you control the steel rolling mill."

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's instructions, Li Huaide immediately replied, "Dad! I understand what you mean. I'll call Jia Dongming right now and ask him about the specifics. I'll see if we can take this opportunity to recruit the section chiefs under Jia Dongming."

After ending his call with Vice President Jiang, Li Huaide began to ponder the matter. It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Li Huaide reached for the internal phone and began calling Jia Dongming.

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

At that moment, Jia Dongming was tidying up his things in his office. When he heard the phone ring, he quickly walked to his desk, picked up the internal phone on the desk, and politely greeted, "Hello! This is Jia Dongming. Who is this?"

"Director Jia! Good afternoon! This is Li Huaide. I hope my call at this hour isn't disturbing your work?" Li Huaide's cheerful greeting came through the phone as soon as Jia Dongming finished speaking. Jia Dongming looked surprised upon hearing Li Huaide's voice and asked curiously, "Director Li! Good afternoon. What brings you here at this hour?"

When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongming's question, he thought of the plan he had prepared in advance and said to Jia Dongming with a smile: "Director Jia! The situation is like this, our factory's Women's Federation Director Liu is retiring next month, and I want Comrade Qin Huairu to take over Director Liu's position, so I called here specifically to ask for your opinion."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's explanation, Jia Dongming was visibly taken aback. Knowing Li Huaide's personality well, he knew that Li Huaide wouldn't promote Qin Huairu without a reason. So, he tentatively asked Li Huaide, "Director Li! Although Huairu is the deputy director of the logistics warehouse office, her educational background isn't high. But given her qualifications, won't appointing her to this position cause dissatisfaction among others?"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's question, Li Huaide immediately smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Although Comrade Qin Huairu's educational background is not high, she has obtained a diploma from night school. Her achievements in the logistics warehouse over the years are obvious to all. In addition, the work of the Women's Federation requires female comrades to take charge. Therefore, I believe that Comrade Qin Huairu is fully qualified to take over the position of Director Liu."

When Jia Dongming heard Li Huaide's reply, although he still didn't understand what Li Huaide was up to, he was happy to see Qin Huairu promoted. So he smiled and replied, "Director Li! You are the head of the steel rolling mill. Since you say it's okay, then I have no reason to object."

Seeing that Jia Dongming had agreed to accept his offer, Li Huaide immediately changed the subject, smiling as he congratulated Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! I heard that you'll be promoted and transferred to the Municipal Bureau soon. Is that true?"

Jia Dongming had just been wondering why Li Huaide suddenly wanted to promote Qin Huairu, but now that Li Huaide asked him about his transfer to the steel rolling mill, Jia Dongming immediately guessed Li Huaide's intention. So he smiled and replied, "Director Li! It is indeed true. I just didn't expect your information to be so readily available. The bureau only decided to transfer me to the municipal bureau yesterday, and you already received the news today."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, Li Huaide realized the true purpose of his call to Jia Dongming and quickly asked, "Director Jia! After you are transferred, who does your municipal bureau plan to send to our steel rolling mill to replace you?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question, Jia Dongming, realizing Li Huaide's true intentions, smiled and introduced to Li Huaide, "Director Li! The Municipal Bureau has decided to send a deputy director to take over my work. As for who it is, I'm not entirely sure."

"However, the Municipal Bureau plans to promote two more deputy directors from our Security Department. I have chosen Comrade Zhang Guoping from the Logistics Section of our Security Department as one of the candidates. I am still considering the other candidate."

When Li Huaide heard the news from Jia Dongming and learned that Jia Dongming actually had the power to appoint two deputy directors, his eyes lit up. He quickly asked Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Have you decided who to choose?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question, Jia Dongming pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! I haven't decided on the specific selection yet, but before I leave, I will arrange everything and have them come to your office to report to you!"
