Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Chapter 601: Everyone has their own ambitions and goes their separate ways

The most incredible thing is that when Liu Haizhong was in high esteem by him, he once hired Lao Wu, a well-known gangster leader at the time, to follow Lin Geng and kill him outside the city. However, he disappeared inexplicably after leaving the city with a dozen of his men, and no one has seen him alive or dead to this day.

Although Liu Haizhong denied it until his death, the news leaked out later. Li Huaide and all his men knew that the disappearance of those dozen people must be related to Lin Geng, but even the police could not find out where those dozen people had gone, so the matter could only be left unresolved.

But Li Huaide was certain that those dozen people were probably all dead. They were killed by Lin Geng. No one knew where Lin Geng buried them in the mountains. Now it was estimated that even their bones could not be found.

So after that incident, Li Huaide knew how ruthless Lin Geng was and always maintained a good relationship with Lin Geng. He never thought of turning against Lin Geng, for fear that if he angered Lin Geng, Lin Geng would destroy him like he did to Liu Haizhong.

Now he was going to leave the steel mill and leave Sijiu City to go south to avoid the limelight. The reason why he wanted to bring Lin Geng along was because he was impressed by Lin Geng's skills. Every time he went into the mountains, he could easily hunt wild boars. Liu Haizhong brought a group of people to cause trouble for him, but Lin Geng alone beat Liu Haizhong and his men, breaking their bones and tendons. This shows how powerful Lin Geng's skills were.

What's more, there were Lao Wu and a dozen of his men who followed Lin Geng out of the city, but in the end they disappeared without a trace. If Lin Geng had killed them in the mountains, one can imagine how terrifying Lin Geng's skills must have been.

So Li Huaide took a fancy to Lin Geng's skills and wanted to bring Lin Geng to go south with him. In this way, he would have a helper who was capable of fighting and killing, and was ruthless. It would probably be much easier for him to do many things, and his own safety would be better guaranteed.

But the result made Li Huaide quite disappointed. Lin Geng was not moved at all and directly rejected his proposal and refused to go south with him. This made Li Huaide quite disappointed, but he did not persuade Lin Geng again.

The two continued to drink, and finally Li Huaide said to Lin Geng: "That's fine! Everyone has their own ambitions, I won't persuade you anymore, I will go to the south first, if there is any good business in the south that can make a lot of money, I will come to you again!"

Lin Geng agreed with a smile, wished Li Huaide a few more words, and sent Li Huaide back home.

Li Huaide soon resigned from the steel mill and left. He left quickly and low-key. He went to work normally on the first day, but did not come to the steel mill on the second day. Instead, people from the higher-level ministries and commissions came to the steel mill to announce the termination of Li Huaide's position as director of the steel mill. In addition, it was announced that Director Yang, who had been overthrown and demoted to sweep the floor in the factory, would be reappointed as director of the steel mill to replace Li Huaide.

After Director Yang took back the position of director of the steel rolling mill, he immediately dismissed all the people who followed Li Huaide when the wind rose. These people have now joined Li Huaide and taken up middle-level leadership positions in the steel rolling mill.

Some of them followed Li Huaide and did a lot of bad things during the storm, making the steel mill a mess. When the storm stopped, the state required all factories and mines to quickly resume production order. Director Yang would certainly not be polite to these people. After he sat back in the position of director, he dismissed all of Li Huaide's former trusted subordinates within a few days.

Some of these people were not convinced and were trying to make a final struggle in the factory, trying to get a group of workers to join them in making trouble and force Director Yang to rescind his decision and keep their jobs.

But this time they made a wrong calculation. Many employees in the factory had seen through the true colors of these guys over the years, and they were eager for the steel rolling mill to regain its pre-storm glory under the leadership of Director Yang as soon as possible. At the same time, they had long been fed up with what these guys had done over the years, and not many people were willing to follow them in causing trouble.

Director Yang is also a man of means, and now his backer, the big leader in the original drama, has returned to Sijiu City from the south after the wind stopped and has regained power. With his support, these former subordinates of Li Huaide who wanted to make trouble like they did after the wind started, have made a wrong calculation.

Director Yang reported the matter directly to the police, saying that these people were trying to disrupt the production order of the steel rolling mill and asked the police to severely punish them. The police have also now begun to restore order and have arrested a large number of speculators who took advantage of the storm to get promoted. Now they are treating these guys who acted recklessly after the storm started very rudely.

So when these people started to make trouble in the factory, many police officers came to the factory, arrested them on the spot, handcuffed them, and took them all back to the police station. They began to investigate what bad things these people had done in the factory during the storm. This immediately frightened those guys who didn't make trouble, and they immediately behaved themselves.

However, Director Yang did not touch Lin Geng, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. After the wind stopped, the three of them continued to do their respective jobs and were not subject to any retribution by Director Yang. Sha Zhu was even directly promoted to canteen director, becoming a middle-level leader of the steel rolling mill.

As for Lin Geng, he continued to work as the deputy chief of the purchasing department, and continued to be idle all day long. From time to time, he would go to the factory to work, and after chatting and laughing with the newly appointed leaders in the factory, he would sneak out of the factory to wander around.

Director Yang also summoned Lin Geng, wanting him to be the director of the purchasing department, but Lin Geng flatly refused, saying that he was not fit to be a party leader, that he was used to his current life, did not want to be a leader, and just wanted to continue being a deputy section chief. As for Director Yang wanting him to get some unplanned materials for the factory, he only needed to say a word and he would definitely find a way to meet the factory's needs.

So Director Yang saw that Lin Geng had no ambition, so he stopped forcing him. Of course, he would not foolishly target Lin Geng. After all, Lin Geng did not step on him when he was out of power, and even took care of his family in private. Including Director Yang's family, after they were brought down by Li Huaide, Lin Geng never stepped on them, and took care of them and their families in private.

Director Yang was not an ungrateful person. Lin Geng had helped him, so he was naturally grateful to Lin Geng. So after the storm stopped and he was reappointed, it was impossible for Director Yang to target Lin Geng.
