Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Regarding the investigation results of the inspection team, Lu Aiguo said nothing. Instead, he stood up and walked out of the conference room amidst everyone's doubtful eyes.

Lu Aiguo knew that it was useless to talk to little shrimps like them. The real decision-maker was from above.

Rather than wasting time with them, it's better to talk directly to them.

After Lu Aiguo returned to the office, he dialed Mr. Jiang's phone number directly.

"Hey, who!"

"Mr. Jiang, it's me, Lu Aiguo!"

As soon as I heard it was him, there were two coughs covering up a guilty conscience on the other side of the phone.

"What do you want from me?"

How could Lu Aiguo not see that he was asking questions knowingly?

How could the investigation results be announced in the factory if they were not approved by the higher authorities.

He pretended to be confused, but Lu Aiguo didn't have time to play with him, so he got straight to the point.

"I'm looking for Mr. Jiang today to seek justice for myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other end of the phone said immediately: "What's fair, don't talk nonsense!"

Lu Aiguo sneered: "Mr. Jiang, please don't pretend to be confused with me!"

"We all know whether you are doing things fairly or not!"

"Do you have to explain it clearly so that everyone can't get off the stage?"

Although Lu Aiguo had already spoken to this point, Mr. Jiang still spoke harshly.

"We all act in accordance with laws and regulations, and uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness..."

Lu Aiguo was not in the mood to listen to his official talk, so he interrupted him without hesitation.

"Mr. Jiang, have you forgotten what we talked about back then?"

"You give me absolute rights and I will bring the cannery back to life within three years."

"You gave me five conditions back then, and I think Mr. Jiang has them all on record."

"You can ask the comrades of the inspection team whether I have fulfilled the five requirements you made!"

Lu Aiguo's words immediately silenced the other end of the phone!

"You promised me that my term would be six years. If I perform poorly or make mistakes, you can fire me at any time."

"But our cannery's sales reached a record high last year."

"I can't help but wonder, is this considered poor management?"

"The inspection team has been stationed in the factory for a week, saying that I changed the wage system without authorization and widened the income gap among workers. You promised me at the beginning that I could freely handle the financial part of the factory. Moreover, this did not reduce the welfare benefits of the workers. On the contrary, it has improved a lot. This is what I promised you at the beginning, and I have done it. Since it was negotiated by both parties, then what kind of mistake is this!"

Faced with Lu Aiguo's aggressive questions, it took a long time for the other end of the phone to speak.

"This...this doesn't seem to count!"

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo became more energetic and asked directly.

"Now that the factory has turned a profit, we have accomplished what we promised you back then!"

"But what do you mean now!"

"I helped you solve the employment problem of more than 1000 workers. Now you are not trying to kill the donkey!"

Mr. Jiang knew that what he did this time was indeed unreasonable, but there was nothing he could do about it.

When Lu Aiguo's conditions were first agreed to, the decision-makers above were under considerable pressure.

But at that time, it was a matter of survival for more than 1000 employees and their families behind them.

Now that the problem has been solved, the voices above have regained the upper hand over the removal of Lu Aiguo.

They believe that this trend cannot last, otherwise if state-owned cadres follow suit one after another, then state-owned assets will move toward capitalism!

Politics has never been about right and wrong, but about weighing the pros and cons!

In the end, after careful consideration, the decision-makers decided to replace Lu Aiguo from the position of factory director to calm those discordant voices.

But the superiors were very fond of talents and could not bear to part with this general, so they wanted to put him in an inconspicuous position first, and wait until the situation stabilized in a few years before reactivating him.

Therefore, Mr. Jiang, who knew the thoughts of the superiors, not only wanted to bring down Lu Aiguo, but also comforted him so as not to offend him.

Mr. Jiang said in a gentle tone.

"Young man, please be patient!"

"Don't misunderstand the meaning above, this is just a routine inspection!"

"As for the issues mentioned in the report, the comrades on the inspection team are also afraid of conflicts among workers."

"Comrade Lu Aiguo, you are a young man who dares to think and act!"

"The boss appreciates you very much!"

"Now regarding the issue of roads, the debate above is still very fierce. Do you know how much pressure the top leaders have resisted for you in the past three years!"

"Luckily you didn't disappoint us!"

"To be honest with you, the higher-ups are just trying to find a reason to transfer you away this time."

"But this doesn't mean I don't trust you, it's another way of protecting you!"

"You are also someone who has experienced turbulent times, so you should understand this!"

Seeing Mr. Jiang earnestly persuading him, Lu Aiguo knew that the hard approach had already had an effect, and the soft approach would come next.

"Mr. Jiang, my attitude just now is indeed a bit extreme, but you should also understand me. I have worked hard over the past three years and I dare not show any slightness for fear of betraying the trust placed in me by my superiors."

"Now that I have finally made some achievements, not only have I not received recognition, but I have to leave without knowing anything. I feel aggrieved!"

As he spoke, Lu Aiguo's voice began to choke!

Seeing this situation, Mr. Jiang hurriedly comforted him: "I understand, so this time I argued with the superiors and won a better position for you, which can be regarded as an indirect promotion by half a level!"

I thought Lu Patriotic Association would happily accept this position, but unexpectedly he refused.

"Mr. Jiang, to put it bluntly, I'm tired and want to leave!"

"what!"

Through the microphone, Lu Aiguo could feel the shock of the other party!

Mr. Jiang was afraid that he would have any emotions because of this matter, so he hurriedly said: "Don't think too much. In fact, the higher-ups value you very much and will prepare you to move to a more important place in two years!"

"Then! Continue to work for three years and then find a reason to quit!" Lu Aiguo said coldly.

These words completely choked Mr. Jiang!

After a moment of silence, he said, "What are your thoughts? You might as well tell me and listen!"

Seeing him say this, Lu Aiguo stopped covering up and said directly: "Mr. Jiang, we plain people don't talk secretly."

"I am a soldier and I don't know the twists and turns of officialdom. I want to work hard on my own. Whether I win or lose, I have the final say. I like to be free!"

In his last life, Lu Aiguo was constrained to the army all his life. Although he later attained a high position, he had no freedom.

Wherever you want to go and what you want to do, you have to report it in advance and live within the rules for the rest of your life.

In this life, he wants to be free and roam the world freely with his brothers!

Seeing that Mr. Jiang didn't reply, Lu Aiguo continued: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, even if I leave, as long as you need me, I will definitely not refuse!"

"Let me ask the superiors for instructions!" Seeing that he had decided to go, Mr. Jiang could only report the matter.

He doesn’t dare to let go of the people the higher-ups want to keep easily!
