Chapter 226 Liu Haizhong took the bait
At the same time, Liu Haizhong, who had just finished lunch, was picking his teeth leisurely. Suddenly, a worker ran over hurriedly and told him that Deputy Director Li was looking for him.
Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up immediately, he put down the toothpick in his hand, an expression of irrepressible excitement on his face, he imagined that Deputy Director Li had discovered his talent and wanted to promote him.
He looked down at his dusty work clothes, frowned, stood up quickly, and walked quickly to the bathroom. In the bathroom, he simply patted the dust off his clothes with water, smoothed his hair with his hands, and tried to make himself look neater.
After finishing the grooming, Liu Haizhong excitedly walked towards Deputy Director Li's office. His steps were brisk and powerful, and his face was filled with anticipation and joy.
When he walked to the office door, he slowed down, composed himself, and then knocked on the door gently.
"Come in." Deputy Director Li's voice came from the office.
Liu Haizhong pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Deputy Director Li sitting at his desk, busy with his head down. He walked up to Deputy Director Li with a little restraint and asked with a smile, "Deputy Director Li, I heard Xiao Wang say you were looking for me?"
Deputy Director Li raised his head, looked at Liu Haizhong in front of him, smiled and nodded. He put down his work, stood up, and greeted him warmly: "Are you Master Liu Haizhong? Please take a seat."
As he spoke, he pointed to the chair in front of the desk. Liu Haizhong sat down somewhat flattered, secretly delighted in his heart.
Deputy Director Li continued, "I often hear Director He mention you, saying that you have trained several outstanding talents for our factory. You are a hero of our factory!" His words were full of praise and affirmation, and his eyes also revealed his importance for Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong was slightly stunned when he heard what Deputy Director Li said, and then he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He thought that it was He Yuzhu who praised him in front of the leader, and he couldn't help feeling a little proud.
He planned to ask his second aunt to buy a pound of meat for him when he got home that night to thank He Yuzhu properly, and then invite He Daqing to come over for a drink.
He responded with a smile: "Deputy Director Li, this is what I should do. As a seventh-level fitter in the factory, it is my responsibility to train more talents for our factory." His words were full of pride and responsibility.
However, as Liu Haizhong continued to talk about his work and contributions, Deputy Director Li gradually noticed a detail - Liu Haizhong frequently used the title "Deputy Director Li" in the conversation.
Whenever Liu Haizhong spoke, he would almost always use this title, as if to deliberately emphasize Deputy Director Li's deputy position. Deputy Director Li couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, as if Liu Haizhong was deliberately reminding him that he was just a deputy director.
Deputy Director Li frowned slightly, but he did not show it immediately. He continued to listen patiently to Liu Haizhong's story, but the discomfort in his heart was gradually increasing.
He noticed that Liu Haizhong didn't seem to have any tendency to stop, and even some trivial matters had to be reported to him, which made him feel helpless.
In order to interrupt Liu Haizhong's long speech, Deputy Director Li decided to take some action. He stood up, walked to the table where the thermos was placed, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong took the cup, opened his dry lips slightly, and drank a big mouthful impatiently, and immediately felt his throat was much more refreshed. He put down the cup, thanked him repeatedly, and his face was filled with gratitude.
Just as he was about to continue his long speech, Deputy Director Li interrupted him with a smile. His eyes revealed a deep meaning, and he slowly said:
"Master Liu, I admire your talent and enthusiasm." As he spoke, Deputy Director Li's gaze lingered on Liu Haizhong for a moment, as if he was carefully examining this worker.
"But I think it's a waste of your talent to be a small worker." Deputy Director Li's words revealed a recognition of Liu Haizhong's potential, as if suggesting that he has a bigger stage.
Liu Haizhong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard what Deputy Director Li said. He felt as if he had found a soulmate, and the feeling of being recognized and valued made him feel very proud.
He said excitedly: "Deputy Director Li, you are a wise man. I had the opportunity to be promoted before, but was rejected because of my primary school education." There was a hint of regret in his tone.
After hearing this, Deputy Factory Director Li nodded slightly, frowning slightly, as if expressing deep sympathy for Liu Haizhong's experience. He pondered for a moment, crossed his hands in front of his chest, stared at Liu Haizhong, and said seriously:
"Master Liu, academic qualifications are important, but in my opinion, your ability and experience are irreplaceable. I believe that as long as you continue to work hard and constantly improve yourself, there will be more opportunities waiting for you in the future."
Liu Haizhong felt warm in his heart when he heard what Deputy Director Li said. He took a deep breath and looked at Deputy Director Li with gratitude, with a determined expression on his face. He secretly made up his mind to work harder and live up to Deputy Director Li's expectations.
At this time, Deputy Director Li sighed again and said with regret: "This is the policy in our factory now. Many talented people are buried. Unfortunately, I am not Director Yang, so I can't say anything about this issue."
When Liu Haizhong heard this, his heart was moved. A sentence kept repeating in his mind: "If Deputy Director Li was the director, I could be promoted and have a high position." His breathing became faster, as if he saw a new hope.
He stared at Deputy Director Li with wide eyes, full of expectation. He knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity that could change his fate. He was determined to seize this opportunity and fight for his future.
