Qiao Chuanbai was afraid that Chen Yuan would misunderstand, so he added, "If it's not convenient for Brother Chen to tell me, I won't ask any more questions."

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "There's nothing inconvenient to say!"

"Before, I was worried that Brother Qiao and Zhang Fugui were friends, so I didn't dare to say anything more!"

Qiao Chuanbai slammed the table, "Is he and I friends? We're more like sworn enemies!"

"If I had the chance, I really want him to have a taste of what kind of life I'm living now!"

Chen Yuan hurriedly comforted Qiao Chuanbai, "Brother Qiao, there's no need to get angry over this kind of person."

Then, Chen Yuan pretended to be curious and asked, "Could you please tell me, Brother Qiao, what are the salaries and benefits at your machinery factory?"

Qiao Chuanbai was stunned at first, then subconsciously asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Deputy factory managers like me and Zhang Fugui earn about 40 yuan a month. It depends on the factory's performance. If the performance is good, we get more bonuses."

Chen Yuan nodded, and understood what was going on.

He continued to guide the crowd, "The Zhang family lives so well, it doesn't look like they deserve this salary level."

"Is there something wrong?"

After Chen Yuan said this, Qiao Chuanbai also felt a little strange.

Zhou Lili also said, "Don't be ridiculous! I think Zhang Hao's watch must have cost quite a bit of money!"

"The things he usually gives to those hooligans are not cheap either."

Qiao Chuanbai frowned. Chen Yuan must have wanted to express something by suddenly asking this question.

Chen Yuan didn't say anything, but just sat quietly watching the two of them guess.

Qiao Chuanbai hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "Brother Chen, do you know something?"

Chen Yuan didn't directly answer Qiao Chuanbai's question, but instead asked, "Brother Qiao, the precision parts in your factory are not cheap, right?"

Although Qiao Chuanbai didn't understand why Chen Yuan asked this, he still nodded.

"Correct."

"But the factory hasn't produced many precision parts recently, and this isn't my responsibility. It's Zhang Fugui's responsibility."

Chen Yuan snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "That's right."

Everyone looked at Chen Yuan in confusion.

How did it suddenly make sense? What was the connection between this precision part and the Zhang family?

Chen Yuan didn't continue speaking, but looked at Qiao Chuanbai quietly.

Qiao Chuanbai's initial confusion turned into disbelief.

Qiao Chuanbai stood up suddenly. He wanted to ask what happened but was afraid that someone on the other side might be listening. He could only cover his pounding heart and asked in a low voice, "Are you saying that Zhang Fugui touched something in the factory?"

Chen Yuan curled his lips and said, "If my information is correct, he must have sold the precision parts in the factory and sold them to the south."

"However, whether this matter is true or not, Brother Qiao has to go and investigate it himself."

Guo Lin had never experienced such a thing before and swallowed nervously.

"This is a huge matter. This is a crime committed in defiance of the law! Could Zhang Fugui be so stupid as to do this?"

Qiao Chuanbai sat down slowly. "Zhang Fugui isn't stupid, he's too smart!"

"No need to investigate, this matter is true!"

Qiao Chuanbai was in a complicated mood. He had just finally figured something out.

It turned out that the reason he had no real power was not because his ability was worse than Zhang Fugui, but because he had accidentally seen Zhang Fugui and the factory director talking about this in the office.

From then on, the factory director became wary of him. It wasn't because of Zhang Fugui's ability that he got the position, but because he and the factory director were in the same boat!

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Qiao, do you have any ideas?"

Qiao Chuanbai shook his head blankly. "I'm afraid this matter is also related to the factory director. Can we still expose Zhang Fugui?"

Chen Yuan didn't expect that the factory director and Zhang Fugui were in the same group.

He couldn't help but frowned, "Are the factory director and Zhang Fugui related?"

Qiao Chuanbai thought for a long time before he replied with certainty: "No!"

"At that time, Zhang Fugui was still the workshop director and was promoted later."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, tapping his fingers on the table.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to be afraid of."

"I think the factory manager understands the principle of sacrificing the rook to save the king."

After hearing this, Qiao Chuanbai felt suddenly enlightened. Why hadn't he thought of this before?

"So what should we do?"

"If they are in the same boat, then writing an anonymous letter of complaint is useless."

Chen Yuan had never considered this thing at all, he thought it was unreliable.

"Brother Qiao, if you trust me, I have a good idea."

Qiao Chuanbai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded hurriedly, "Brother Chen, just speak with confidence!"

"It's already like this now, so at worst I'll just quit being the factory manager!"

Chen Yuan curled up the corners of his lips into a smile and told Qiao Chuanbai about the plan.

"Brother Qiao, just do as I say. Remember, the fewer people who know about this, the better!"

After saying that, Chen Yuan glanced at Guo Lin indifferently.

This young man is indeed wholeheartedly thinking about Qiao Chuanbai, but one can never judge a person by his appearance, and there is always room for improvement.

Guo Lin quickly stood up and raised his right hand, "Deputy Director Qiao, you must believe me!"

"I, Guo Lin, have achieved what I have today thanks to your help. I have no second thoughts about you!"

Guo Lin's words were very sincere and there was nothing to fault with them.

Qiao Chuanbai quickly gestured for Guo Lin to sit down.

"I know, I know everything!"

Chen Yuan also laughed and said, "Comrade Guo is indeed loyal."

"After this matter is resolved, with Brother Qiao's ability, the future is promising!"

Chen Yuan's words were very clear. He was warning Guo Lin not to stand on the wrong side.

Guo Lin nodded vigorously, "I also believe in Deputy Director Qiao's ability!"

They chatted for a while and it was almost time for dinner.

Zhou Lili stood up and wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant to get two dishes for everyone. If she went there quickly and came back quickly at this time, she should be able to catch up.

"Everyone keep chatting, I'll go make dinner!"

Chen Yuan estimated the time. If they went back at this time, they should be able to return to Chenjia Village before dark.

"Brother Qiao, we have a long way to go, so we won't stay for dinner."

Qiao Chuanbai wanted to keep him, but after thinking carefully, he realized that the roads in the countryside were difficult to travel on, and it would be even more difficult after dark, so he didn't force him to stay.

"Okay, then let's have dinner together some other day!"

Chen Yuan nodded gently, "Okay!"

Qiao Chuanbai and Zhou Lili accompanied him all the way to the gate of the family compound.

Chen Yuan put the small mat in place again before letting Sun Weiwei get in the car.

"Brother Qiao, you guys should go back quickly, it's cold outside!"

Qiao Chuanbai raised his hand and warned, "Be careful on the road!"

"Hey!"

……

On the way back, Sun Weiwei asked with a smile, "Brother Yuan, do you think Yiyi was well behaved at home today?"
