Chapter 139 Yan Bugui's Letter of Accusation

More accurately, this is an old habit of Cao Wei's.

When I was at Fengzelou before, I would bring some lunch boxes home.

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill, although the person cooking the meals in the communal pot had his own instructions, the taste was still just average, which was clearly not enough for Cao Wei. So he usually cooked something himself for lunch.

They would also give some to the canteen director, including Li Huaide.

We packed up the leftovers that we couldn't finish eating.

In this day and age, this kind of thing is perfectly normal.

After all, what leader doesn't give special treatment to their children?

However, this behavior caught the attention of Yan Bugui.

To be precise, Yan Bugui had been watching this behavior for a long time.

From the moment Cao Wei joined the steel mill, he had been keeping a close eye on things, and so much time has passed since then.

Finally, upon hearing that Cao Wei had been promoted to full-fledged deputy director, he gritted his teeth in anger.

He quickly drafted a letter of complaint, and to avoid being discovered that he had written it himself, Yan Bugui even changed his handwriting and wrote it with his left hand.

Looking at the somewhat crooked but factual whistleblower's letter, Yan Bugui's eyes flashed with hatred, and even a hint of smugness.

So, after he got off work the next day, he asked his eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, to put the letter in the mailbox.

Of course, Cao Wei is unaware of all this at the moment.

The next day at work, he was summoned directly to Li Huaide's office.

At first, he habitually offered him a cigarette.

But when Li Huaide refused to accept it, and his gaze turned somewhat helpless, even his brows furrowed as he looked at him, Cao Wei realized that something was wrong.

I haven't done anything lately, have I?

Cao Wei's inner confusion quickly came to a conclusion with Li Huaide's sigh and the letter of complaint placed on the table.

After reading the letter of complaint, Cao Wei was briefly stunned.

Without much thought, he instantly realized who could have done this. It was none other than those beastly neighbors in the compound who couldn't stand to see him doing well.

But who exactly did it?

At this moment, Cao Wei was not sure, after all, he could not see anything from the handwriting, and it seemed that all of his beastly neighbors who wanted to deal with him had a reason.

Whether it was her own efforts to get Liu Haizhong imprisoned through the Women's Federation, or Yi Zhonghai's constant jealousy of her, or even Yan Bugui.

Both are possibilities, but the first two are more likely than the latter. At the same time, Li Huaide sighed.

"Xiao Cao, you should be careful these days."

How could Cao Wei not understand Li Huaide's reminder?

When Li Huaide saw the letter first thing in the morning, he was stunned. He quickly realized that someone was trying to frame Cao Wei.

He even considered sabotaging himself.

Just kidding. In this day and age, which leader doesn't get special treatment and eat something nice?

Realizing this, Cao Wei took a deep breath and nodded.

"Okay, Director Li, I will—"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Huaide shook his head and said directly.

"Xiao Cao, this letter of complaint is nothing special; the key question is who saw it."

Seeing that Director Li had put it this way, Cao Wei instantly understood. After all, Director Yang of the factory had already been in contact with the old deaf man.

Based on the other party's previous behavior, he was certain that if this so-called letter were given to Director Yang, it would be giving him a handle to use against him, or rather, giving him something to talk about.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Cao Wei naturally dared not be careless in the slightest.

Not only was there no special treatment today, but even on the way home by bicycle, he looked confused and puzzled.

Because at this moment he couldn't be sure which beast had done it.

However, this didn't stop Cao Wei from thinking to himself, "If I find out who this is, I'll make sure you're either dead or skinned alive!"

Unfortunately, the prolonged period of peace and tranquility had caused Cao Wei to overlook the existence of these beasts.

After all, a normal person, if they don't want to kill anyone and just want to live their own life, how can they possibly control these beasts every day?

When Cao Wei passed by the door, his thoughtful and somewhat lonely appearance made Yan Bugui secretly very happy, though he didn't show it on his face.

He even desperately told himself this in his heart.

"No! I can't laugh now. I must get this little beast out of his position."

Perhaps spurred on by this sense of dejection, Yan Bugui wrote an even more detailed report the next day, fabricating stories about Cao Wei not only bringing his own lunchbox every day, but also bullying his neighbors by taking advantage of his position as deputy director.

After that, Yan Jiecheng was instructed to deliver the letter directly to the steel rolling mill.

This time, Cao Wei's luck was obviously not so good, or rather, the letter was eventually seen by Director Yang without Li Huaide seeing it.

This gave Director Yang a pleasant surprise and also filled him with heartfelt admiration.

Wouldn't that give them leverage over us?

So he convened a meeting and began to make a big deal out of the issues raised in the whistleblower letter.

"I really didn't expect that some young comrades would turn out like this in private."

His pained and indignant expression clearly indicated that he intended to take action against Cao Wei.

Li Huaide saw through Director Yang's targeted intent, but he did not back down in the slightest.

"Director Yang, the most important thing right now is to investigate this letter thoroughly, isn't it?"

"If it's just some random rumor, or something about a few gossipy village women, or something that only a big mouth would..."

If this affects personnel changes at our steel rolling mill, will we receive a few more whistleblower reports tomorrow, and everyone here have to step down?

These words were undeniably sharp, and Director Yang fell silent at that moment.

In the end, it was Deputy Factory Director Chen who stepped in to smooth things over.

"Alright, I think Director Yang and Director Li's concerns are valid. Let's leave it at that for now. This matter is ultimately not going to have a good impact, but the scope of the impact is limited. So let's stop for a few days and make a judgment after our steel rolling mill has investigated the matter thoroughly."

Upon hearing this, both Director Yang and Li Huaide knew that things couldn't continue as they had planned, and in the end, they could only nod reluctantly.

After the meeting, Li Huaide could only tell Cao Wei the news with a helpless expression.

Cao Wei appeared quite calm, even speaking in a relaxed tone.

"Oh, perfect timing, I need to take a couple of days off too, right?"

But Cao Wei had already decided that in the next couple of days—no! after get off work today—he would use his X-ray vision to see which of his beastly neighbors was the happiest.

I might as well just take action; after all, these beastly neighbors aren't any good people.

Later, when the news of Cao Wei's suspension reached back...

Most of the beastly neighbors couldn't help but laugh openly or secretly, or were agitated.

There was nothing they could do; Cao Wei's life seemed too smooth or even too extraordinary in their eyes, highlighting their incompetence, not to mention the jealousy they felt.

As for the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi even knelt in front of Old Jia's photo as usual, muttering something under her breath.

The Yi and Liu families were equally excited.

Even after Cao Wei returned, they heard a lot of sarcastic remarks.

"I knew it! How could such a young deputy director not make mistakes?"

"Yes, it's good for young people to stumble and fall a few times; they have to suffer a little."

Cao Wei merely sneered at these gossipy women who were pressing their faces against him.

After parking his bicycle at home, he used his spiritual eye to quickly begin monitoring these beastly neighbors.

However, the key families all seemed quite happy, and nothing seemed amiss. It wasn't until evening, when Cao Wei was almost completely exhausted, that he finally noticed something fishy when he looked at the Yan family.
