Chapter 487 First Meeting with Yang Damin
Watching the group of people warmly greeting the production department leaders, Li Qin couldn't help but feel a look of surprise. Then he thought to himself, "Sure enough, there aren't many simple people in the system who can become leaders."
Although they both disliked each other, they showed no hostility when they met and instead chatted and laughed.
If we didn't know the truth, we might even suspect that the two had a very good relationship.
In terms of shrewdness, Li Qin could never compare.
Actually, this is because Li Qin had never worked within the system before, so he was unaware of some of the unspoken rules within it.
One of them is to fight without breaking apart;
It is very common for conflicts to arise within the system due to differences in stance, team, and ideology.
However, there is one rule: no matter how fierce the struggle is behind the scenes, a basic level of decorum must be maintained.
Especially when there are "outsiders" present, it is essential to demonstrate unity and harmony.
To put it bluntly, it's all about maintaining appearances and substance.
If you lose even this, especially in front of outsiders, you'll be targeted and ostracized by everyone.
Because this means that they lack even basic political literacy.
Tonight, the steel rolling mill is hosting visiting leaders, including those from both the logistics department and the production department.
You can say whatever you want behind someone's back, but once you're out in public, you have to make sure your superiors see that the steel rolling mill's leadership team is united.
As for what happens after the leader leaves, the power struggles will continue as before.
Although Li Qin had never had any contact with the leaders of the production department, it did not mean that he knew nothing about them.
When Li Qin chose to work at the steel rolling mill, he conducted extensive research on the mill beforehand.
Among them are those concerning these leaders.
Li Qin could recognize almost anyone, whether they were workshop leaders or department leaders.
After Li Qin joined the steel rolling mill, he spent a short time there.
The steel mill is neither too big nor too small, and I've met some leaders from the production departments over time.
Therefore, Li Qin knew almost all of the leaders of the production departments present.
Of course, this only applies to people Li Qin knows, while these people most likely do not know Li Qin.
While the two leaders were exchanging pleasantries, Li Qin's gaze lingered on one person in the other group for a moment.
"I never expected it to be him!"
A strange light flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He saw a familiar figure among the leaders of the production department;
This person was none other than Yang Damin, the future director of the steel rolling mill in the original story.
At this time, Yang Damin was already the second-in-command of the production department.
He was one level below Li Huaide.
Previously, Yang Damin and Li Huaide were at the same level, but Li Huaide did a particularly good job in providing holiday welfare materials for employees several times.
With the help of those behind Li Huaide, he was promoted to the top position earlier than in the original story, becoming the head of logistics.
However, as a result, unless Li Huaide makes a mistake and Yang Damin achieves something extraordinary, it seems that it will be difficult for Yang to take the factory director position from Li Huaide in the future.
Within the system, sometimes being slow at one step means being slow at every step.
Li Qin was pleased that Li Huaide had become the director of the steel rolling mill.
After all, he and Li Huaide are now bound together; the greater Li Huaide's power, the more comfortable Li Qin's life will be.
As for what will happen to Yang Damin in the future, Li Qincai doesn't care.
However, Li Qin still underestimated the situation.
For an important unit like a steel rolling mill, the appointment of the factory director is not a simple matter.
The issues involved are multifaceted.
The higher-level department will make a decision only after considering a variety of factors.
However, that's a story for later. At this moment, Li Qin looked at Yang Damin with a strange expression.
After reading the original work, Li Qin always felt that Yang Damin was somewhat mysterious.
According to the plot, Yang Damin should have retired from the front line, and Li Qin felt that there should be no problem with that.
Li Qin had just noticed an aura in Yang Damin that only soldiers, especially those who had experienced the horrors of war, possessed.
However, compared to the people Li Qin had met before who had retired from the battlefield, Yang Damin's military bearing was much less pronounced.
I don't know if it's because I've been retired for so long that this special aura has faded away;
Yang Damin has gradually suppressed this aura.
Li Qin's suspicion about Yang Damin lay in the relationship between Yang Damin and some people in the courtyard.
For example, the deaf old woman, and Yi Zhonghai;
Although it is not explicitly stated in the plot, some of the deaf old woman's words and actions seem to suggest otherwise.
The deaf old woman not only knew Yang Damin, but they even had some special relationship.
Besides, it seems that Yang Damin's influence was also behind Yi Zhonghai's achievement of becoming an eighth-grade worker.
Logically speaking, these people shouldn't have any connection.
Li Qin was very puzzled.
Moreover, some of Yang Damin's actions after becoming the factory director made Li Qin feel that they were somewhat inconsistent with Yang Damin's public image.
Many people have a very positive and encouraging opinion of Yang Damin.
But Yang Damin could imply to He Yuzhu to poach employees from the steel rolling mill, bring the steel rolling mill's ingredients and meals home, and even give He Yuzhu many benefits that he shouldn't have.
It was precisely because of Yang Damin's indulgence that He Yuzhu later became so arrogant.
Furthermore, Yang Damin would secretly investigate the tastes of his superiors. After learning that the leader was from Sichuan, he would even take He Yuzhu to cook for him.
Besides these, there are many other things that don't seem like things a person with a military background should do.
It doesn't even look like something a decent person would do.
"This is really interesting!"
Li Qin thought to himself.
He actually knew that television was only showing things from the protagonist's perspective.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. After all, this is a complete world; it can't just be a courtyard house or a steel mill.
There are still many, many things that haven't been shown on television.
These are all things that Li Qin must personally witness and discover.
While Li Qin was secretly observing, Li Huaide and the others had already finished shivering.
At this moment, several leaders in the production department all turned their attention to Li Qin.
Li Huaide knew all the leaders in the logistics department around him, since they were all members of the steel rolling mill's leadership team.
However, Li Qin, this young man, was a complete stranger to them.
"Director Li, who is this young comrade?"
A workshop foreman asked with great curiosity.
As he asked the question, he pointed to Li Qin's location.
Upon seeing this, Li Huaide smiled slightly and then introduced, "This is Li Qin, a comrade from our logistics and procurement department. I invited him to help keep the company while we drink."
Li Qin!
Upon hearing this name, a strange look flashed in the eyes of several leaders in the production department.
