Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"Zhu Zi, you've got a pretty good idea."

Sha Zhu scratched his head. After seeing Yi Zhonghai off, he prepared his hunting tools, planning to try his luck in the mountains the next day.

……

From the defiant look in Liu Haizhong's eyes when Yi Zhonghai entered Sha Zhu's house, Li Jianjun saw everything clearly.

"Yi Ruhai is really anxious."

Li Jianjun suddenly had an idea when he thought about the grand plan he was about to make.

"Maybe we can find a way to make them fight like dogs."

Yes, that's right, let them fight, and then Li Jianjun can reap the benefits.

Why not?

Li Jianjun originally did not intend to target them, but they targeted him time and time again.

In particular, Yi Zhonghai secretly manipulated things to hinder his own work.

Then don't blame Li Jianjun for being impolite.

After figuring this out, Li Jianjun suddenly understood. However, when he got to his front door, he found that the door was unlocked.

As a result, Li Jianjun was surprised to find that all the furnishings in the room had been completely renewed when he went in.

The old eight-immortal table in his room has disappeared, replaced by an antique-style table.

There were also six stools, all painted red, making it look exceptionally tall.

Moreover, Li Jianjun also noticed that the walls in his house had been repainted, making the house look much cleaner and tidier.

The house was kept very clean, both inside and out.

Li Jianjun thought he had gone to the wrong room, but when he looked back, it was indeed his room.

Just then, a voice came from the small side room.

"Brother Jianjun, is that you back?"

It was Yu Haitang's voice.

"Brother Jianjun, do you like all the things in the house?"

Li Jianjun blinked, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

Did you buy all of these?

Yu Haitang nodded.

"I'm going to use all my savings from the past few years to buy you furniture and renovate your house."

"So? Don't you think I'm great?"

Chapter 207 Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu's Conspiracy

Yu Haitang winked mischievously and said to Li Jianjun.

This gesture warmed Li Jianjun's heart.

A young woman took out all her savings to renovate his house and buy him furniture.

This is something you'd be hard to find even with a lantern.

"Haitang, thank you so much."

Li Jianjun stepped forward and hugged Yu Haitang tightly, unwilling to let go.

This long-lost warmth brought tears to Yu Haitang's eyes almost instantly.

A man's emotions cannot be hidden, and his affection can be felt.

At that moment, Yu Haitang felt like the happiest woman in the world, as if she owned the whole world.

Li Jianjun was also filled with excitement.

……

Almost every middle-level leader in the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was campaigning for votes, fearing they would be ousted by the new factory director.

Inside the steel rolling mill, only two people remained calm and unhurried: Director Li and Li Jianjun.

Director Li believed he had a close relationship with Factory Director Zhang and didn't need to engage in these maneuvers.

Li Jianjun, on the other hand, possesses technical skills and is full of confidence.

The next day, everyone's actions and reactions reached Director Zhang.

Director Li reported to Factory Director Zhang about the actions of those people over the past few days.

"Xu Damao worked overtime to show movies for everyone. He Yuzhu went hunting in the mountains on weekends and shared the game with everyone. Yi Zhonghai selflessly mentored his apprentices in the workshop. Liu Haizhong distributed welfare to the workers in the workshop during the holidays..."

Listening to Director Li's report, Factory Director Zhang's lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.

"Very good, excellent."

Director Li is confused. Is this a good thing?

"Old Zhang, I think this just shows that he has something to hide, or that he wants to use this opportunity to climb the ladder."

Zhang Xinsheng smiled.

"I ask you, who ultimately benefits?"

"For now."

Director Li thought about it.

"Those must be ordinary people, ordinary workers."

"That's not right."

“These middle-level leaders are usually aloof and seriously detached from the people. I’m giving them an opportunity to care about the grassroots.”

Director Li gave Factory Director Zhang a thumbs up.

"Brilliant, Lao Zhang, your move was truly brilliant."

Factory Director Zhang lit a cigarette, unimpressed.

“Those who are truly capable don’t need to resort to these petty tricks, like Li Jianjun.”

"I wanted to use this incident to tell them that being down-to-earth is the most important thing."

Amidst the flickering smoke, Director Li deeply felt Director Zhang's appreciation for Li Jianjun.

...

For the next week, following Yi Zhonghai's instructions, Sha Zhu paid out of his own pocket to buy fifty kilograms of rice every day, cooked it into porridge, and let the residents near the courtyard eat and drink for free under the guise of it being free.

People went crazy, waiting for his free meals every day.

Some people even kept praising him for being silly.

"Zhu Zi, this is doing a good deed in the spirit of Lei Feng. Later, we should make sure our leader votes for Zhu Zi."

"That's right. You have to be obligated to do things for someone who feeds you."

Sha Zhu was secretly pleased to hear these words.

Little did he know that these people were all cursing Sha Zhu behind his back, calling him a complete idiot, but he was oblivious.

Yi Zhonghai also went to the scene to serve food to people, but he didn't pay a single penny, essentially getting the rice that Sha Zhu bought for free.

Sha Zhu is being sold out and still helping the seller count the money.

Another day of delivering free meals is over, Sha Zhu said happily, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Uncle, your idea is really good. The villagers now speak very highly of me."

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"I think Director Zhang will at least make you a deputy director, that's for sure."

Sha Zhu was even happier to hear this, and when he returned to the courtyard, he had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

As he walked to the gate, he bumped into Li Jianjun, who was passing by. Sha Zhu immediately started to speak sarcastically.

"Some people just don't know how to read the room. They won't even know how they got squeezed out of their positions."

Li Jianjun stopped pushing the cart.

"What does it mean to be perceptive? Does it mean to be a sucker like you?"

Sha Zhu was directly rebuked by Li Jianjun, and after thinking about it, he was speechless and became so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

"Hmph, Li Jianjun, just you wait, we'll know the result tomorrow."

Li Jianjun never took such a scheming, attention-seeking character seriously.

"Then we'll just have to wait and see, like riding a donkey while reading the script."

……

Similarly, Xu Damao has been working overtime these days to screen movies for free for the people of Hongqi Community, which has naturally won unanimous praise.

In Xu Damao's words, the way those young women and married women looked at him was different.

This gave Xu Damao the illusion that he was about to be promoted, which made him even more arrogant.

Dragging the heavy equipment back to the courtyard, they happened to witness another face-to-face confrontation between Sha Zhu and Li Jianjun.

He knew perfectly well that Yi Zhonghai was using Sha Zhu to build his popularity.

Li Jianjun is right about that.

The shrewd and calculating Xu Damao said nothing, pushed his cart straight inside, and muttered to himself.

"Just you wait, Li Jianjun, I'll give you a big surprise tomorrow."

……

Soon, the next day arrived, and it was time to announce the results.

The meeting of middle-level leaders was held as scheduled.
