Chapter 30
Yang Weimin

Lin Yu was carrying five or six wild boars and stood at the entrance of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang courtyard.

“Hahaha, I, Hu Hansan... cough, I, Lin Hansan, am back again. Beasts, tremble in fear... oh dear.”

A large hand came down hard on the back of Lin Yu's head.

“What nonsense are you babbling about? Hurry up and take the stuff back, so we can head back to the factory,” Lin's father scolded grumpily.

Has this son turned into a pig because he’s been hit by wild boars too much?

It was the middle of the day, with no one around; who could hear him talking here?

And he didn’t even mind the heat; he might end up getting heatstroke under the sun.

After receiving a slap, Lin Yu hurriedly carried a bag of wild boar meat and a bundle of wolf skin, rushing towards the backyard in a panic.

He had to run faster; he had seen his old man’s hand resting on his belt.

A few fathers and daughters in the courtyard heard the commotion, but when they saw Lin Yu carrying a gun, they didn’t dare to come out.

Who doesn’t know that the second son of the Lin family has a dog-like face?

One minute he could be smiling at you, and the next minute he’d be chasing you down with a brick.

Even the old man in the courtyard had been beaten before, so others didn’t dare to approach him.

Lin's father looked at his foolish son, who was carrying a large burlap sack and dragging a bundle of wolf skin, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

When did this kid get so strong?

This morning, when he was hauling the pigs out of the cave,

he managed to carry a two-hundred-pound wild boar for over ten miles on the mountain road without breaking a sweat.

It’s worth noting that vehicles can’t drive up the mountain, and the Lin family didn’t want outsiders to know about the cave in the mountains.

So, Lin Baojia brought over a dozen cousins and nephews, and they carried the wild boars and wolves down in one trip.

Lin Yu stood out the most, carrying a two-hundred-pound wild boar all the way down the mountain at a jog.

The old man was so shocked he nearly dislocated his jaw.

This time, the old man and Uncle Lin understood why this little brat was always thinking about going after that old tiger in the mountains.

Looking at this kid, he might be even fiercer than that tiger.

When Lin Yu and his father returned to the steel mill with the truck, Li Huaide was already waiting at the gate with Wang Hongjun and several other staff members from the mill.

“Son, do you see that sturdy middle-aged man next to Li Huaide? His name is Yang Weimin, one of the three deputy directors of the steel mill, and he’s also a candidate for the next factory director,” Lin's father whispered to Lin Yu.

“Hahaha, Xiao Yu, good job!” As soon as the car stopped, Li Huaide stepped forward, patting Lin Yu on the shoulder and laughing loudly.

Lin Yu understood that this was Old Li announcing to the factory leaders that he was one of his people.

“Thank you for the compliment, Leader. I’m just following your and our section chief’s guidance, diligently implementing our factory’s mission. I happen to have the ability in this area, and I will definitely continue to work hard to contribute to the factory’s development.”

Hearing Lin Yu’s words, Li Huaide was very pleased.

Who wouldn’t like a subordinate who is educated, capable, and knows how to communicate and get things done?

“Our little comrade is still very humble,” Yang Weimin stepped forward and said, “Old Li, I heard that Comrade Lin hasn’t been officially confirmed yet. I think Comrade Lin not only deserves confirmation but also a promotion, right?”

Old Li couldn’t help but squint at Yang Weimin’s words.

Even Lin Yu and the factory leaders couldn’t help but take a closer look at Yang Weimin.

Yang Weimin was overstepping a bit; Lin Yu was from the logistics department.

Even if he was to be confirmed and promoted, it should be brought up by Li Huaide.

Now, what did it mean for you to come out and do this favor? Were you trying to steal someone from Old Li or reach into Old Li’s logistics department?

“Deputy Director Yang is right; our logistics department will quickly submit Comrade Lin Yu’s report. When the time comes, please arrange for the factory office to approve it as soon as possible.”

Li Huaide’s implication was that the logistics department had no objections to Lin Yu’s confirmation and promotion and would implement it quickly.

Once the report is submitted, Deputy Yang, don’t say we’re promoting Lin Yu too high, and the factory office doesn’t agree.

If that’s the case, you, Old Yang, would lose face in front of your subordinates.

Li Huaide was also digging a pit for Yang Weimin, purposely saying to ask Yang Weimin to arrange for the factory office to approve it.

Yang Weimin was just a deputy director now; he couldn’t even reach into the factory office.

Moreover, the factory office was directly under the secretary; if you, Yang Weimin, wanted to reach into the factory office, you would definitely ruin your relationship with the secretary.

Old Li wasn’t a good-tempered person either; since you, Old Yang, took the initiative, we can’t just sit back and do nothing.

Let’s hit you hard and see if you can take it.

Lin Yu watched the two big shots sparring, feeling anxious and secretly thought: Damn it, who said people in this era are all simple? It turns out that no matter when, those who play politics have dirty hearts.

As soon as Li Huaide spoke, Yang Weimin’s expression changed slightly.

“Old Li, today is Friday, and we need to hold our regular meeting next Monday. Please submit Comrade Lin Yu’s report, and we can discuss it at the meeting.”

Hearing Yang Weimin’s words, Lin Yu couldn’t help but curl his lips.

No wonder Director Yang was overthrown when the wind blew; with a personality that wants his subordinates to work but is reluctant to give benefits, that’s just ridiculous.

Only in the factory; if it were outside, this dog would have been shot long ago.

Don’t even mention how noble or clean Yang Weimin is.

One who frequently treats others to meals can’t be that clean.

In the drama, Shazhu said he didn’t want to work in the small cafeteria for Deputy Director Li.

Most of the small cafeteria lunch boxes that Shazhu often brought back were from Director Yang’s treat.

If we’re talking about nobility, Director Yang in the drama is even further from being noble.

What kind of noble person would bring a public chef to their home to cook and flatter them?

As for why Director Yang was reinstated after the storm, it was mainly because the big leader was reinstated.

With the old officials of the big leader back in power, Director Yang also rose with the tide.

Those who understand know who the big leader is based on the prototype.

So, rather than saying Director Yang has good character and works diligently and competently, it’s better to say he’s clinging to the right leader and holding onto a big thigh.

The only commendable thing about Director Yang is that when the storm hit, he was also demoted but didn’t bite back at the big leader and others.

Maybe he knew the big leader would make a comeback; anyway, he made the right bet.
