Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"If you really like him, you have to learn to create opportunities?"

Yu Haitang was stunned by Fang Lina's words.

She and Fang Lina were classmates from elementary school to junior high and then to high school. They could talk about anything and were the kind of best friends that people would call best friends in later generations.

The two often communicated, but she had no idea where Fang Lina's theory came from.

"What? So you mean you want me to pursue Li Jianjun?"

Fang Lina rolled her eyes at her and continued tidying up her speech.

“I didn’t say that. I just wanted to create an opportunity for you to get to know Li Jianjun.”

"If you can't bring yourself to speak, and it really doesn't work out, I can ask someone to introduce you two formally?"

Fang Lina seems to be trying to introduce Yu Haitang to a potential partner.

Yu Haitang's face flushed red instantly.

"You are too direct."

These words left Fang Lina speechless.

"My dear lady, this won't work, that won't work. I don't know how to point you in the right direction."

"How about this, don't go home for lunch. Come with me to the cafeteria and find a chance to get to know Li Jianjun."

Fang Lina spoke urgently, but Yu Haitang suddenly realized what was happening.

"You brat, I admit Li Jianjun is very good-looking, but I never said I was dating him."

"Is it because you want to date him and then find an opportunity to drag me along for courage?"

Now Fang Lina is in an awkward position.

"You...you...Yu Haitang, you've gone too far."

The two of them started playfully fighting.

To be honest, Yu Haitang was indeed somewhat attracted to Li Jianjun; she was a bit of a looks-obsessed person to begin with.

"How about we go to my sister's house for dinner tonight?"

Yu Haitang muttered to herself.

Yu Haitang's older sister is named Yu Li. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of Yan Bugui, the third uncle in the courtyard, who is also Yan Jiecheng's wife.

Yan Bugui has three children. His eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, is already married. His second son, Yan Jiefang, is only 20 years old and is of marriageable age. His youngest daughter, Yan Jiedi, is still in high school.

His wife, Auntie San, was unemployed, and the entire family of four relied on Yan Bugui for sustenance; one can imagine how difficult their lives were.

Yu Haitang and her sister Yu Li have a good relationship. It's only natural for her to go to Yu Li's house for a meal after she recently broke up with her boyfriend.

Even Yu Haitang didn't realize that her purpose in doing this was to see Li Jianjun.

...

At this moment, Li Jianjun was walking towards his office.

Today is an important day for Ma Sijiu to take office as the leader of the workers' picket team, and Li Jianjun must be present.

Upon arriving at the security office, they saw Ma Sijiu gathering the members of the workers' picket team for a meeting.

As the saying goes, a new broom sweeps clean, and Ma Sijiu knows this all too well.

As Li Jianjun walked past them, looking at Ma Sijiu's spirited appearance, he had every reason to believe that Ma Sijiu would be loyal to him in the future.

Upon seeing Li Jianjun, Ma Sijiu immediately stopped his lecture and respectfully saluted Li Jianjun.

All the members of the investigation team present knew that Ma Sijiu was promoted by Li Jianjun, so they naturally knew about the close relationship between the two.

Then think about Ma Sijiu. He's only been working for a few years, and he's already been promoted by Li Jianjun to be the leader of the disciplinary team. It's true that having connections in high places makes it easier to get ahead.

Sometimes you can work yourself to death, but promotions don't come quickly, and some people never make it in their entire lives.

Chapter 111: Drawing a Pie in the Sky for Li Weiguo

With Ma Sijiu clinging to Li Jianjun's coattails, his future promotions are practically guaranteed.

What puzzled the members of the workers' disciplinary team was that Li Jianjun was originally just a junior staff member in the security department of Hongqi Steel Rolling Mill, and his work was unremarkable. He didn't have any powerful connections at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, so how did he get promoted?

The key point is that not only did he get promoted himself, but he also successfully recommended Ma Sijiu, which is nothing short of a miracle.

What these people didn't know was that Li Jianjun was able to get the promotion opportunity and successfully recommend Ma Sijiu entirely because he slept with Director Li's wife, and Director Li's wife then whispered in his ear.

After saluting Li Jianjun, Ma Sijiu began to address the members of the workers' picket team.

"Okay, that's all I have to say for today. I hope everyone will take care of themselves."

"stand at attention."

"Disband."

After Ma Sijiu finished speaking to the group members, he turned around and saw that Li Jianjun had already stepped into the security department.

After Li Jianjun strolled over to the security department, he began assigning tasks.

Originally, there were only three people in the Second Security Section. Old Liu is about to retire, so he doesn't count.

The workers' picket team has now been incorporated into the security department, which means the security department now has 16 more people.

The workers' picket line, as the name suggests, is responsible for inspecting workers for improper behavior and correcting it in a timely manner.

In a sense, the functions of the security department and the workers' picket team do not overlap.

The security personnel were much busier than the workers' pickets, and they had to patrol regularly.

Most of the workers' pickets acted collectively, only taking action when they received a report or an order from their superiors.

A few will also go deep into the workers' ranks to promptly understand their thoughts, family situations, and other information they want to know.

Now that the workers' picket team has been incorporated into the security department, Li Jianjun is determined not to let them all be idle.

"Si Jiu, this is your workers' picket team's job. You can arrange the people."

Li Jianjun placed a document in front of Ma Sijiu.

At this moment, Li Weiguo was standing to one side.

His heart was in turmoil, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He and Ma Sijiu started working at the same time, and their performance in the factory was similar. However, thanks to Li Jianjun's recommendation, Ma Sijiu rose to the top and became the leader of the workers' picket team.

He himself remained an ordinary staff member in the security department.

When luck comes your way, it's unstoppable.

Li Weiguo was also a shrewd person; he had already guessed the ins and outs of the matter from the events that had occurred.

It must have been Li Jianjun who conspired with Ma Sijiu to frame Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao.

Ma Sijiu played an indispensable role in this process, which is why Li Jianjun recommended him to be the leader of the workers' picket team.

This is the opportunity.

If Ma Sijiu hadn't seen the situation clearly at the time, he might have joined forces with Liu Haizhong or Xu Damao.

However, given Li Jianjun's shrewd nature, even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be his match, and Ma Sijiu might be the one who suffers the most.

All of this was Ma Sijiu's choice, and it was also the opportunity for his promotion.

Li Weiguo looked at Ma Sijiu with a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

In one's life, encountering an opportunity is important, but encountering a mentor who appreciates one's talent is even more important.

Now that he knows Li Jianjun is such a talent scout, all that's left is the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo no longer felt jealous of Ma Sijiu, but instead began to scheme to find such an opportunity.

"Weiguo, this is your patrol plan."

Li Jianjun also gave a bag to Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo took it and opened it to see that Li Jianjun had assigned him very few tasks, which made Li Weiguo very grateful to Li Jianjun.

After assigning tasks, Li Jianjun gave instructions to Ma Sijiu.

"Si Jiu, hurry up and assign tasks to your men."

"Ok."

Ma Sijiu left the security office with the file bag, without assigning any tasks to his team members.

Li Weiguo was about to return to his office when Li Jianjun stopped him.

"Wei Guo, wait a moment."

Li Weiguo was somewhat surprised; before he had even stepped out the door, he quickly retreated.

"Deputy Section Chief Li, is there something you need from me?"

"It's nothing serious, I just wanted to talk to you alone."

Li Weiguo quickly walked up to Li Jianjun, who gestured for him to sit on a stool.

The two sat facing each other. Li Jianjun brewed tea while mentally organizing his thoughts.

Ma Sijiu has been promoted to the group leader of the workers' picket team, and he has observed Li Weiguo's disappointment very well.

These two men are now his right-hand men, and Li Jianjun can't bear to lose either of them.

That's why he wanted to keep Li Weiguo behind alone and do some ideological work with him.

Since someone wants to turn Ma Sijiu against his cause, someone else needs to work on Li Weiguo.

To prevent this from happening, Li Jianjun took precautions in advance.

After brewing the tea, Li Jianjun poured a cup for Li Weiguo as well.

"Wei Guo, come, sit down and have a cup of tea first."

While the two were drinking tea, Li Jianjun spoke leisurely.

"Weiguo, don't envy Sijiu. Work hard, and in a few months, I'll get promoted to section chief and then promote you to deputy section chief."

"The three of us will all hold important positions in the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and work together."
