Chapter 1542 Leave or Stay?

Ignoring Director Li's gaze, Liu Xiangdong looked back at everyone, "Everyone, do the preparations first, wait, we will conduct the experiment in two days!"

Everyone nodded silently after hearing this.

Without Team Leader Liu, they could only do this.

"Team Leader, I'll go with you!"

Jiang Ningning gritted her teeth and said, following Liu Xiangdong to the workshop.

"Ningning, you didn't have this temper before! What's wrong today, ahem, what's going on?"

On the way to the workshop, Liu Xiangdong looked at Jiang Ningning who was bowing her head and not speaking and asked.

Jiang Ningning's heart trembled, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

The last time she went back to Sijiu City, she told the situation here, but she didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao from Sijiu City really sent someone to come, and she didn't expect that this matter would reach Director Li's ears.

In this way, she always felt that she had done something wrong.

If she didn't tell Yang Xiaotao, there would be no today.

She hesitated in her heart, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

"Ningning, are you worried?"

Liu Xiangdong saw that Jiang Ningning was different from usual, and he was more certain that something was wrong.

Jiang Ningning gritted his teeth when he heard the question. Anyway, the situation was already like this, and there was no point in hiding it.

"Team leader, this time, when I returned to Sijiu City, I told someone about the night vision device research that I and you had done."

"One person? Who?"

Liu Xiangdong stopped and said in a serious tone.

After all, this research was reported to the superiors. Although there has been no results in the past few years, it does not mean that anyone can know about it!

Jiang Ningning lowered his head, "That person is the chief designer of the machinery factory, Yang Xiaotao!"

Hearing this, Liu Xiangdong's brows loosened.

He still knew about Yang Xiaotao's affairs.

Of course, most of it was seen in the newspaper.

"Don't talk nonsense in the future!"

Liu Xiangdong glanced at Jiang Ningning, his tone softened, and he walked towards the workshop after a warning.

Jiang Ningning gritted her teeth and followed up, saying, "Team leader, Mr. Yang said that they need a night vision device installed on the tank!"

"He also told me that they really need such talents to help."

"Team leader, you can see now that this Li Cuntian is clearly making things difficult for us here, and he has repeatedly stopped us from doing research."

"You went to the workshop today, and you don't know what's waiting for you after you finish your work."

"And the research funds given to us last time were directly deducted by more than half. Xiao Zhou and others haven't received their salaries yet, I..."

Jiang Ningning was still talking, but she didn't notice that Liu Xiangdong paused when talking about the tank night vision device, and then quickly moved forward.

When talking about Xiao Zhou, Liu Xiangdong's eyes had a little more ripples.

Jiang Ningning's voice faintly came to his ears, "Team leader, Sijiucheng also has good equipment, you can do research there, and..."

Walking into the workshop, Liu Xiangdong walked towards the workshop director.

"Leader Liu is here!"

The workshop director is an old worker in his fifties who has worked here for half his life. He has a clear understanding of the people and things in the factory.

It is precisely because of this understanding that he does not want to get involved.

After all, whoever comes, he has to work and eat, right?

So much so that now he, the director, has become a deputy in the workshop. Generally, he has to listen to Director Li's opinions on major and minor matters.

Especially this thing called "recalling the bitterness and thinking of the sweetness". Although he was not happy in his heart that a group of people who knew nothing came here to help, he did not show it on his face.

It was just that seeing Liu Xiangdong come to work in this state, his conscience was really bad.

"Yes! Here I come!"

Liu Xiangdong replied, listless and a little dazed.

After that, he walked to the side, picked up the hammer he usually used, and prepared to work.

Behind him, Jiang Ningning also put on gloves and walked into the crowd without saying a word.

The workshop director sighed and then came to Liu Xiangdong's side.

"Team Leader Liu!"

Liu Xiangdong looked up and saw the workshop director holding up a cigarette. Liu Xiangdong shook his head, indicating that his throat was not good.

Seeing this, the director took back the cigarette and put it in his pocket.

"Team Leader Liu, please don't be unhappy with what I said. I know you are a capable person, and there is even no one else like you here."

"But in my opinion, you are not as good as a young man of seventeen or eighteen in screwing screws here."

"Why, because this is not your job at all!"

Liu Xiangdong straightened his back and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the director waving his hand.

"Don't talk about revolutionary principles. If I say it, it will definitely be louder than you!"

"As for me, the master said when I entered the factory, do as much work as you can. If you don't have the ability, don't be greedy. If you have the ability, make progress."

"In my eyes, you are a capable person. You have to do what you should do, so that you can live up to your learning."

"To put it simply, this is your own work!"

"Only if you talk big can you live up to the country's investment in you."

"Otherwise, people like you are screwing screws and hammering here. Isn't that a waste?"

The director seemed to want to finish what he had to say. He didn't give Liu Xiangdong a chance to speak.

But after listening for a while, Liu Xiangdong didn't know what to say.

He seemed to understand what the director said.

"I am a person who likes to nag when I am old. It's best if you listen to me!"

"There is such a good thing in the city. Don't take it too seriously."

"Listen to my advice. If someone gives you a way, you have to walk on it. If you don't walk on it, how can you know whether it is a big road or a small road?"

He turned around and left. He said enough today. If Director Li knew it, it would not be good.

Liu Xiangdong looked down at the hammer in his hand, and then looked up at the sky outside the window. The sky was blue and the white clouds were flawless.

But he felt constrained by the small window.

The original firm idea in his mind began to waver at this moment, "Leave? Or, stay?"

...

"Director, that Jiang Ningning is too ungrateful, isn't she just relying on the prestige of her relatives?"

Wang Ming followed Director Li out, talking as he walked.

Of course, he still had some intentions towards Jiang Ningning in his heart.

Although Jiang Ningning seemed like a little transparent on weekdays, her appearance and figure were both good in this factory, and her soft and gentle voice made men want to protect her.

Snap

Just as Wang Ming was thinking about how to discipline Jiang Ningning, and then give her care and comfort at the appropriate time, so as to...

A slap directly slapped her to the ground.

Before he could speak, he saw Director Li's wolf-like eyes.

"Director!"

Director Li looked at Wang Ming, who was covering his face with a wronged look, and asked word by word, "Is what Jiang Ningning said true?"

Wang Ming naturally knew what Director Li was referring to, and his face immediately panicked.

Seeing this, Director Li snorted coldly.

"I didn't let you join the investigation committee to act like a big shot, nor is it a reason for you to be picky!"

"But what about you? Not only did you fail to take the lead in supervision, but you also trampled on the reputation of the investigation committee!"

Wang Ming breathed quickly and explained, "Director, don't listen to her nonsense. I just went to understand the situation with my comrades. I didn't act like a big shot, and I didn't pick and choose..."

"That's enough!"

Director Li ignored his howling and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Starting today, Wang Ming is officially expelled from the investigation committee."

"No, don't..."

Click

Wang Ming sat on the ground.

He knew in his heart that without this tiger skin, he would have to pay back all the glorious things he had done before.

The other person next to him froze when he saw it, and didn't dare to look at Director Li.

He knew that this was killing the chicken to scare the monkey, but he had no choice.

Being a monkey is better than being a chicken.

Director Li led his men away, leaving only Wang Ming slumped on the ground.

Today, he did this not because he was so selfless and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

But he understood how much people envied what he did.

But if he didn't do this, how could he stand out?

So, either don't do it, or do it well.

Therefore, any hidden dangers in the team that endanger his position, any weaknesses that become "enemies" to deal with him, he will clear them out in advance.

Even if it is, his own people!

As for Wang Ming's teaching Jiang Ningning a lesson, does he need to say it?

If he offended him, he would naturally have to punish him, otherwise how could he establish his prestige?

Besides, he, Director Li, is still single!

If he knows what's good for him, he doesn't mind being the son-in-law of the Jiang family.

He has learned about Jiang Ningning's background.

At that time, wouldn't it be easy for Liu Xiangdong to be in his hands?

...

Sijiu City, Siheyuan.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard. Ran Qiuye had already prepared dinner. In the room, Ms. Cui was holding Duanwu, but she was talking about Comrade Lao Jin.

She said that he was old and incompetent, and that he was just there to cause trouble. After a while, she was even more worried about eating and sleeping at night.

Zhang Qing, who was teasing the twins next to him, rolled his eyes and replied, "If you are worried, go and see him."

Then Ms. Cui was stubborn and shouted loudly, "Who is worried about him?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye smiled at each other.

Maybe this is the companionship of old age.

When they were together, they quarreled and said nothing good.

But once they were apart, they were all worried about each other.

Ran Qiuye looked at Yang Xiaotao and thought to himself, will it be the same when they are old?

"I won't leave, why should I leave?"

Just as the two were preparing to eat, there was a burst of crying and shouting in the backyard. After listening for a while, they looked at each other.

Ran Qiuye said, "When I came back today, I heard from people in the courtyard that Xu Damao's parents were coming back to live here, and they said that this house was theirs. If Qin Jingru and Xu Damao divorced, they should not stay in this house. They are making trouble now..."

Yang Xiaotao picked up the chopsticks he had just put down and didn't want to pay attention at all, "Eat, eat, don't pay attention."

Ms. Cui also nodded after hearing this, "It's difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, don't pay attention!"

Only Zhang Qing was eager to try, this kind of quarrel was the first time she had seen it.

But her grandmother, cousin and sister-in-law were all in low spirits, so she couldn't go out, so she could only listen to the noise outside.

Compared to Yang Xiaotao's steady work, other people in the courtyard saw that there was something exciting to watch, so they went out immediately in their cotton clothes, and they just needed to get a bench!

At Auntie's house, Sha Zhu heard the noise in the backyard and ran out immediately.

Qin Huairu saw this, and a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she followed him out the door to the backyard.

In the backyard of Xu Damao's house, the door was open, and the cold wind blew in. There was a group of people outside the door, but it calmed the three people down.

Xu's father looked mean, but he forced a touch of compassion.

Xu's mother wiped her tears, but her eyes kept looking at Qin Jingru on the bed.

At this time, Qin Jingru was so angry that she grabbed the bed sheet, but she was panicking.

Seeing more and more people coming outside, Xu's father knew that today's matter could not be made a big deal, otherwise the street office would have to intervene.

"Jingru, Dad and Mom still mean the same thing."

"We, the old couple, will come back to live in this house!"

"If you divorce Damao, then we can part ways amicably."

"If you don't want to, your mom and I will still treat you as our daughter."

After that, Xu's mother cried, "Jingru, Damao is so good to you, don't you know?"

"Ten years will pass quickly. Wait for him to come out, and then live a good life. When the time comes, you will have another son, and this house will be yours inside and out!"

After finishing their words, Xu's father and mother, one playing the good cop and the other playing the bad cop, looked at each other, and then saw Qin Jingru's silent appearance, and then nodded.

Xu's father said, "Jingru, think about it again."

"After all, this is our family affair. It's not easy to come to the city. Don't be confused!"

After that, he led Xu's mother out of the house.

The people who were preparing to watch the excitement outside the room were very bored when they saw that it ended like this.

Seeing the behavior of Xu's father, everyone was too lazy to say anything and went home.

In the room, Qin Jingru looked at the open door, and the cold wind blew in, chilling her heart.

There were two options before her.

One was to divorce, and then she would most likely be driven back to the countryside.

The other was to stay and wait for Xu Damao to come out.

Go or stay, it was a dilemma!
