Chapter 87: Void and conciliatory!

Xu Damao, who was bragging to his colleagues, heard a familiar question from behind him. He instinctively turned around and replied respectfully, "Chief! How dare I joke about this? Brother Jia and I live in the same compound. The night before yesterday, Brother Jia had dinner at my house. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Liu Haizhong in the forging workshop."

The head of the Propaganda Department, hearing what Xu Damao had said, naturally believed what Xu Damao said. He remembered that Secretary Zhang was going to treat Jia Dongming to dinner in the evening, and immediately told Xu Damao, "Da Mao! When you get off work later, leave a little later. I have something to talk to you about."

Xu Damao didn't know why the section chief asked him to leave work later, but for Xu Damao, this was a good opportunity to get closer to the section chief. Xu Damao naturally couldn't just watch this opportunity slip away from his eyes, and hurriedly replied respectfully: "Section Chief! Then after get off work, I will wait for you in the office."

After Jia Dongming told Qin Huairu that he did not go home for dinner, he soon came to the small canteen of the steel rolling mill.

Secretary Zhang's secretary, upon seeing Jia Dongming coming, immediately stepped forward and greeted him enthusiastically, "Chief Jia! You are here! Secretary Zhang and Director Yang are already waiting for you in the private room. Please follow me."

After hearing what Secretary Xiao Wang said, Jia Dongming thanked him politely and followed him into the canteen.

Jia Dongming soon arrived at the door of the private room in the canteen. Xu Damao, who was fawning on the leader, saw Jia Dongming coming and immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Brother Jia! You are finally here. The leaders have been waiting for you."

Jia Dongming was slightly surprised by Xu Damao's appearance, but when he thought of the scene in the plot of Courtyard Love where Xu Damao was often called by his leader to accompany him, Jia Dongming soon felt relieved.

When Jia Dongming heard what Xu Damao said and saw the leaders sitting in the box, he pretended to apologize and greeted everyone, "Secretary Zhang! Director Yang! Leaders, I was originally planning to come over, but when I was about to leave, I suddenly received a call, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

When Secretary Zhang heard what Jia Dongming said, he said to him kindly, "Comrade Dongming! Don't listen to what Comrade Xiao Xu said. We just arrived."

When Yang Weimin heard what Secretary Zhang said, he immediately said to Jia Dongming enthusiastically: "Comrade Dongming! You are a great contributor to our factory today. Let alone waiting for you for a while, even if I wait for you for a whole day, that is what I deserve!"

Yang Weimin paused for a moment, then called out to Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! Come over here and sit down."

When Jia Dongming saw the seat Yang Weimin pointed to, he immediately waved his hand and refused, "Director Yang! This seat is the main seat. Among all the people present, only Secretary Zhang and you are qualified to sit here. I'd better forget it!"

When Secretary Zhang saw Jia Dongming refused the seat arranged by Yang Weimin, a look of approval flashed in his eyes, and he said in a friendly manner: "Comrade Dongming! We are all comrades who eat from the same bowl. How can there be any distinction between high and low?"

"If you hadn't discovered the enemy spies hiding in our factory in advance and joined forces with the public security comrades to catch them all before they were ready to blow up the special workshop, I'm afraid all of us here would have been left with nothing." "If we really have to make a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary, among all of us here today, only you, the great contributor, are qualified to sit in this position."

Jia Dongming did not feel proud when Secretary Zhang praised him. Instead, he replied with a flattered look on his face: "Secretary Zhang! You are really embarrassing me. As the head of the security department of our factory, I have the responsibility and obligation to ensure the safety of the factory, so all of this is my job."

When Yang Weimin heard Jia Dongming's answer, he thought of the content of the reprimand given by the senior leader when he called him, and said with a look of relief: "Comrade Dongming! Although you are the head of the security department of our factory, you have just been transferred here, and the enemy spies have been planning the conspiracy against our factory's special workshop for more than a year."

"If you hadn't discovered the enemy's conspiracy in advance and cooperated with the public security comrades to catch all of them, the consequences would have been disastrous!"

When Jia Dongming first reported for work, apart from Li Huaide who welcomed him, no other leaders showed up. Jia Dongming realized that these leaders in the factory did not welcome his arrival.

For this reason, Jia Dongming naturally did not have the habit of trying to please others, and he took the initiative to report to these leaders. If it were not for the need for Yang Weimin's cooperation in arresting Zhou Xudong, Jia Dongming would even bypass Yang Weimin directly.

Facing Yang Weimin's flattery, Jia Dongming did not feel proud of the other party's flattery. He saw the empty seat next to Li Huaide, immediately walked to the seat, stretched out his hand to pull out the chair, sat down, and then said: "Secretary Zhang! Director Yang! I am afraid of heat, there happens to be a fan here, so I will sit here."

Secretary Zhang saw Jia Dongming sitting down next to Li Huaide, so he didn't insist and let Jia Dongming sit in the main seat. He stretched out his hand to pull out the main seat chair, sat down, and ordered the secretary: "Xiao Wang! Go to the cafeteria quickly and tell them to serve the food!"

Soon, the kitchen helper from the cafeteria came into the private room with the dishes. After Secretary Zhang and his other secretaries poured wine for everyone, they were the first to raise their glasses and said loudly, "Where is this first glass of wine? Let's all raise our glasses together to welcome Comrade Jia Dongming to join our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill family."

When Jia Dongming heard what Secretary Zhang said and saw the glass he raised, he raised his own glass, stood up from his seat, and said to everyone present with a smile, "Secretary Zhang! Director Yang! Dear leaders, it is my honor that the organization trusts me and arranges for me to work at the steel rolling mill. In the future, I hope that all leaders will support the work of our security department."

When Director Yang heard what Jia Dongming said and saw that Jia Dongming had finished the wine in his glass, he immediately said to Jia Dongming, "Comrade Dongming! Don't worry. The work of the Security Department is related to the safe production of our factory. We will definitely fully support your work."

If Jia Dongming had not known in advance the reason why Yang Weimin did not welcome him, he would have almost believed what Yang Weimin said.

After Jia Dongming finished the wine in his glass, he smiled and thanked Yang Weimin: "Director Yang! On behalf of our security department, thank you for your support."
