Chapter 37: Comrade Yang Bin Takes Charge

  Qin Liang asked Sun Piaoyun, the director, to recommend Zhou Xiaoyi to take charge of Project Group 4 to Dai Hongfei. Xu Lianghui, on the other hand, was recommended by Qian Dong, the deputy director who is currently temporarily in charge of Project Group 1, to take charge of Project Group 4. For this, Qian Dong even took Xu Lianghui to invite Qi Haoying, the director of the Comprehensive Office, for a drink and to play with a mistress.

  Zhai Haiying is the deputy director of Guo Zhongda, and the relationship between Deputy Director Guo and Director Huang is obviously closer than that between Deputy Director Dai and Director Huang. Qian Dong and Xu Lianghui naturally hope to let Zhai Haiying ask Deputy Director Guo to say a few words to Deputy Director Dai, or simply let Director Huang put some pressure on Deputy Director Dai.

  Xu Lianghui is Qian Dong's old subordinate, a trusted follower brought over from his previous unit. At this time, he would certainly work hard to help Xu Lianghui secure the position of head of Project Four.

  In charge of a project team, there will be people, money, control over customer information and various resources. Therefore, today's meeting can be called the key battle for the layout and contention of the "forces" of all parties in the bureau.

  Of course, the recommendation is just a recommendation. The work of the project department is managed by Dai Hongfei, and as a retired military officer, Dai Hongfei has always been very powerful. Even Director Huang Weilin dare not interfere too much with his work. So no matter who recommends or conveys the message, the final decision-making power is still in Dai Hongfei's hands, and only when he gives the go-ahead will it be considered done.

  In the past, Dai Hongfei would definitely try his best to respect the opinions of Project Director Sun Piaoyun and Deputy Director Qian Dong, and strive to reach a consensus with them before the meeting. But this time, he didn't reveal anything before the meeting.

  "In the past, the work of our department was mainly divided by region. In the future, we plan to gradually transition to a more efficient channel division. The establishment of the four groups in this project is a new attempt."

  "Project Four Group is the breakthrough for our Project Department's work in the next year, responsible for liaison and signing with some super-large key clients. I don't need to emphasize its importance. Director Wan, Director Qi, Director Zeng, Minister Dong, your respective departments must fully cooperate with Project Four Group's operation."

  "The head of the fourth project group, after careful consideration, I have decided to appoint the...," Director Dai said, suddenly coughing and picking up the teacup in front of him to take a sip.

  Qian Dong and Xu Lianghui from Team A exchanged a glance, their eyebrows furrowing instantly. Meanwhile, Sun Piaoyun, Qin Liang, and Zhou Xiaoyi, who was wearing a mask, had joyful expressions on their faces, their eyes shining brightly as they eagerly looked in the direction of Dai Hongfei, waiting for him to finish his tea before announcing Zhou Xiaoyi's name.

  "The head of Project Four Group, after careful consideration from multiple aspects, I have decided to appoint Comrade Yang Bin from Project Three Group to take charge." After finishing this sentence, Dai Hongfei shifted his gaze towards Yang Bin who was sitting by the wall in the conference room.

  Yang Bin's brain was momentarily short-circuited...

  The meeting room was also in an uproar, with many people gathering together to discuss in low voices. The most frequently asked question was... which one is Comrade Yang Bin from Project Three Group? Is it the one sitting by the wall?

  Although Yang Bin was called out by Qin Liang when he first burst into the conference room, there were not many people who noticed and remembered his name at that time.

  "Comrade Yang Bin, come here." After announcing the team leader of project group four, Dai Hongfei stretched out his hand and beckoned to Yang Bin who was sitting by the wall.

  Yang Bin stood up and walked over to Dai Hongfei's side, his mind had been pondering... what did this surname Dai mean? Let him be in charge of project group four?

  Why didn't you mention the good things about turning over a new leaf?

  Not even a regular staff member, how can you be in charge of a project team? A temporary worker managing several other temporary workers? Even if you manage many temporary workers, your own identity is still that of a temporary worker!

  For Yang Bin now, turning positive is the most important thing. Being in charge of project group four or not is nothing to him, or it can be said that it's something he will strive for next.

  "Director Qi, help Comrade Yang Bin bring a chair over and put it next to me." Dai Hongfei said to Qi Haixiang in the office, pointing to the right side of his seat.

  Zi Haiying hastily moved a chair over and placed it beside Dai Hongfei, then glared at Yang Bin. Dai Hongfei's orders were not to be disobeyed, and as the person in charge of the comprehensive office, he was just an errand boy for these bureau chiefs. But being asked to move a chair by a temporary worker was a first in his life.

  "Comrade Yang Bin, please sit down." Dai Hongfei made a gesture to Yang Bin... This action seemed to solemnly announce something to everyone present...

  Later Yang Bin had him covered in the recruitment office!

  The heads of various departments, including Director Sun Piaoyun and Deputy Director Qian Dong of the Project Department, couldn't help but look a little stern. This was the first time that Dai Hongfei had taken the initiative to make such a gesture towards one of his subordinates at a meeting!

  "Thank you." Yang Bin nodded politely to Dai Hongfei before sitting down. No matter how dull or politically insensitive he was, he knew why Dai Hongfei had done this, and his heart swelled with gratitude.

  Although I knew Dai Hongfei might just be using him to deal with Tang Yuan of Dongxing...

  But it's not necessarily so, at lunch that day, the two seemed to have already fallen apart, and Dai Hongfei's transformation must have had another reason.

  "Director Dai, Yang Bin is just a temporary worker. How can he be in charge of a project team? Moreover... He often violates discipline by being late and leaving early, I've already reported to the office to fire him..." Qin Liang couldn't help but speak out, not even noticing Sun Piaoyun's warning glance from beside him, stood up to reflect the situation to Director Dai.

  Deputy Director Qian Dong of the project team was also about to say something, but was preempted by Qin Liang and ended up saying nothing, just sipping his tea and watching the scene unfold before him with a cold eye.

  "Often late and early leave!? Director Qin, you and I have mentioned Comrade Yang Bin's frequent tardiness and early departure more than once, haven't we!?" Director Dai's eyebrows furrowed even tighter as he pulled out a stack of attendance cards from the file folder in front of him and pushed them towards Qin Liang.

  "Director Dai, take care of your body..." Yang Bin reminded Dai Hongfei in a low voice. Since Dai Hongfei gave him face, Yang Bin wasn't someone without feelings either, he didn't want something like Director Dai's cerebral aneurysm to suddenly rupture now.

  "This is Comrade Yang Bin's attendance record for the entire year in Project Three, and I don't see any frequent tardiness or early departures! On the contrary, it's all records of overtime! Let alone Saturdays and Sundays, even on weekdays, he leaves the project team no earlier than 7 o'clock, and it's common to work until late at night, one or two o'clock! During major business events, they often stay up all night! Are you telling me that this attendance record is fake, or have you been lying to me for the past few days?! Director Dai looked at Yang Bin for a moment, slightly suppressing his anger, and continued to glare furiously at Qin Liang, also sweeping a glance at Sun Piaoyun."

  Yesterday's brain tumor incident, Yang Bin indeed saved his life, which made him reconsider the matter of Yang Bin's transfer. So he called a not-so-close distant relative in Project Three Group... Zheng Ying, and privately inquired about Yang Bin's situation.

  Everything Zheng Ying said was completely different from Qin Liang, Yang Bin was down-to-earth and hardworking, taking on all the dirty and tiring work... Moreover, Zheng Ying also spilled everything about how Zhou Xiao Yi was originally Yang Bin's girlfriend for four years, but later got into bed with Qin Liang in order to get a permanent position.

  If what Zheng Ying said is true, then it's clear why Qin Liang suppressed and squeezed out Yang Bin, even wanting to fire him.

  Zheng Ying swore to Dai Hongfei in her daughter's name that everything she said about Yang Bin, his character, his work, and everything else was absolutely true without a single lie.

  Then Zheng Ying said some rumors in the project group, and Dai Hongfei also listened. Of course, these rumors are uncertain things, she has no evidence and does not guarantee the complete truth of these things. Such as Qin Liang's parents helping Sun Piaoyun's husband with job transfers in the education system, and Sun Piaoyun helping Qin Liang solve Zhou Xiaoyi's transfer issues.

  Dai Hongfei came to the office this morning and specifically asked Director Qi of the Comprehensive Office to retrieve the attendance records of Project 3 Group... Yang Bin carefully looked through each and every one of the annual attendance records of Project 3 Group, and the result was very consistent with Zheng Ying's statement, which was completely different from what Qin Liang said about being frequently late or leaving early.

  Then Qin Liang's problem became even more serious.
