Chapter 38: Turning Right

  "The project team has been plagued by some unhealthy tendencies lately! Forming cliques, suppressing colleagues, and engaging in office romances! If this trend is not curbed soon, it will jeopardize the entire operation of the Project Department! Director Sun, after today's meeting, you must rectify the atmosphere of Project Team 3! Submit a report to me!" Director Dai shifted his anger to Project Department Director Sun Piaoyun.

  Dai Hongfei had always trusted Sun Piaoyun, but she clearly disappointed him. Although Zheng Ying declared that the interest exchange between Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang was just a rumor, it cannot be denied that the logical basis for these rumors is very obvious and can be easily inferred.

  Zhou Xiao Yi slept with Qin Liang to get promoted, and Qin Liang helped Zhou Xiao Yi get promoted in exchange for benefits from Sun Piao Yun. He even suppressed a hardworking colleague to achieve this, which has reached the limit of Dai Hong Fei's tolerance for his subordinates' freedom at work. Small actions and small benefits are fine, but don't overdo it, or are you looking down on me, Dai Hong Fei?

  Doing things anywhere can't ignore the power of small reports. Zheng Ying is equivalent to making a small report to Dai Hongfei, and the effect is even better than a real small report. The problem is that Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang were reported, but until now they didn't figure out who made the report.

  "Alright, I'll get started on rectifying the atmosphere of Project Three's team and submit a detailed report to you as soon as possible." Sun Piaoyun was publicly reprimanded by Dai Hongfei, but she didn't show any resentment or grievance. Instead, she nodded very seriously at Dai Hongfei, just like she was normally completing a task assigned to her by him.

  Seeing Sun Piaoyun's attitude, Dai Hongfei nodded slightly and his anger was somewhat alleviated.

  Qin Liang and Zhou Xiao Yi's faces turned bright red and extremely ugly, especially when Dai Hongfei mentioned office romance. They naturally thought it was Yang Bin who told Dai Hongfei the secret... but actually it was Zheng Ying who did it. They never expected that Dai Hongfei would have a distant relative with the surname Zheng working as a temporary worker in Project Three Group.

  Qian Dong, the deputy director of the project department who had been keeping a straight face all along, couldn't help but relax his eyebrows when he saw Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang being scolded.

  Yang Bin, sitting next to Dai Hongfei, listened to the words that Dai Hongfei had just used to defend himself and scold Qin Liang and Sun Piaoyun, feeling very pleased in his heart, and also added a few more grateful feelings.

  At least Dai Hongfei is not a dull and incompetent leader, he doesn't just listen to one side of the story, he also checked this little guy's attendance record and acknowledged his hard work over the past year. Moreover, it seems that Dai Hongfei even investigated him? Who could it be? Zheng Ying? Wang Haodong?

  Shen Guoqiang, who always follows Qin Liang's butt, and Zhao Lei, who has been trying to flatter Qin Liang, are unlikely to speak well of him.

  Unfortunately, Dai Hongfei never mentioned the promotion, otherwise Yang Bin would really have to be grateful to this director. Not for himself, but for his parents who had been working hard, suffering and waiting in anticipation.

  "In addition, there are some personnel adjustments in the project department." Dai Hongfei paused for a moment before continuing.

  The conference room fell silent again, and everyone's eyes focused on Dai Hongfei's face once more. Yang Bin, sitting next to Dai Hongfei, had his heart in his throat at this moment, knowing that it was time to announce the two formal appointment quotas.

  In charge of project team 4, without a formal staff position, it may be difficult to manage subordinates and carry out work.

  Yang Bin really doesn't have much desire to be in charge of project group 4, what's most important to him now is getting converted to a formal employee. Of course, if he can get the opportunity to be in charge of project group 4 on the basis of being confirmed as a formal employee, that would be the icing on the cake.

  "Comrade Xu Lianghui from Project Group 1 and Comrade Yang Bin from Project Group 3, due to their outstanding performance in their respective project groups over the past year, will be transferred to become formal clerks of the bureau. The relevant documents' submission and personnel file transfer will be specifically handled by Director Qi's office. Director Qi, shouldn't there be any problem if we complete the procedures within this week?" Dai Hongfei announced and asked Qi Haixiang.

  "No problem!" Qi Haiying hastily nodded, then tentatively asked Director Dai for confirmation: "Director Dai, you just confirmed that the two comrades who were transferred to regular positions are... Comrade Xu Lianghui and Comrade Yang Bin? This is somewhat different from what you and I confirmed last week..."

  "Those are just drafts. All work arrangements and personnel adjustments will be based on the official announcement made at this meeting." Dai Hongfei's face turned iron-gray as he confirmed with Qi Haoyan.

  "Alright, alright!" Qi Haiying hastily wrote down the two names in her work notebook, and also added "Project Four Group" next to Yang Bin's name.

  Dai Hongfei is usually not so overbearing in the bureau, but once he becomes overbearing, no one dares to provoke or anger him easily. Even Huang Ju has to give way to him. Who doesn't know that behind Dai Hongfei stands Yunfeng City Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chang Yang?

  Compared to Huang Ju, Dai Ju is the real power holder in Zhaoshang Bureau! There have been some rumors within the bureau that if Dai Hongfei achieves success in Zhaoshang Bureau, he will likely be sent to take charge of a county government under Yunfeng City.

  In his forties, he was in the prime of life, with a bright future ahead of him.

  Of course, it is under normal circumstances without any accidents. But the tragedy of life often lies in these unpredictable accidents.

  When Zhou Xiao Yi heard Dai Hong Fei's announcement just now, her face suddenly turned ashen, and tears began to well up in her eyes...

  Previously, she was only worried that the position of the leader of Project Four would be taken away by Xu Lianghui. But what she didn't expect was that her transfer, which had already been settled in the mouths of Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang, was actually replaced by someone else at the last minute, just as she received a call from Director Qi Haiying of the Comprehensive Office this morning to come to the bureau for a meeting, only to announce the result.

  And the one who replaced her quota is her ex-boyfriend, the person she hates and resents the most now: Yang Bin.

  She received a call from Director Zhi Haixing this morning, and after the project team's early meeting today, she followed Qin Liang to the bureau, waiting with unparalleled excitement and anxiety for Director Dai to officially announce her transfer to Project Group 4. Who would have thought that all the waiting would end up with such a result?

  This is not just disappointment, but despair and humiliation. Thorough despair, public humiliation.

  Among the people in the meeting room, she originally thought that only Yang Bin was a temporary worker, and everyone else was on the payroll. She was also very proud of this point. As it turned out, ironically, the only temporary worker was herself.

  Although Qin Liang and Sun Piaoyun repeatedly tried to comfort Zhou Xiaoyi in a low voice, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears and rushed out of the conference room. Qin Liang wanted to chase after her but was forcibly held back by Sun Piaoyun.

  Yang Bin watched all of this with a cold eye, feeling extremely pleased in his heart. Moreover, he believed that this pleasure was only just the beginning.

  ……

  "After today's meeting, Director Sun, please take Comrade Yang Bin to handle the relevant procedures and guide him to get Project Department 4 up and running. I hope to see a united Project Department! A project department full of fighting spirit! Not like this one that is full of intrigue, suppressing new people, and not putting their minds to work!" Director Dai emphasized a few more sentences before ending today's meeting, calling Qi Haixiang together to leave the conference room.

  After Dai Hongfei and Qi Haiying left, the conference room was in a mess.

  Xu Lianghui's group was very dissatisfied and said something to Qian Dong, but Qian Dong just listened coldly without saying a word. Although this meeting did not achieve the goal of making Xu Lianghui responsible for project four, Sun Piaoyun, the director of the project department, was publicly criticized by Dai Hongfei, so overall he was in a good mood, but of course couldn't show it.

  Sun Piaoyun then whispered a few words with Qin Liang and walked over to Yang Bin's side.
