Chapter 58 Another teacup? Yi Zhonghai's negative emotions!



Chapter 58 Another teacup? Yi Zhonghai's negative emotions!

While Jia Dongxu was showing off, Yi Zhonghai looked at Zhang Chengfei on the stage with a sinister expression.

The more high-profile and successful Zhang Chengfei is, the less Jia Dongxu will need him as his mentor, and the further away he will distance himself from him.

It seems the time has come to put our previous plan into action...

On the stage, Zhang Chengfei received a bonus, a certificate, and a teacup with a large red "Award" printed on it from the factory leaders. Suddenly, he noticed Yi Zhonghai's malice value floating in front of him.

He was somewhat surprised: "System, aren't you only supposed to absorb dislike values? What's with this malice value?"

The system's response was simple and direct: it's been upgraded.

Zhang Chengfei inquired about the reasons for the upgrade or the points that required punishment.

The system's reply remained concise: "The host has successfully obtained one hundred skill points, so the system has been upgraded from LV0 to LV1."

Next, once you acquire 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 skill points, the system can continue to upgrade.

"So what did you get after the upgrade?" Zhang Chengfei asked again.

"The system's storage capacity has been increased to 500 cubic meters, allowing it to absorb all negative emotion values ​​and convert them into skill points. The lottery function remains unchanged."

Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's level of malice, a glint of light flashed in Zhang Chengfei's eyes.

At the commendation ceremony, Li Huaide personally handed a specially made banner to Zhang Chengfei.

"Zhang Jike is skilled in both writing and design, and in combat he can capture enemy agents. Truly, a hero emerges from among the young!"

Come on, let's call Director Yang over and take a picture together.

He stood next to Zhang Chengfei, had Yang Gangtie stand on the other side, and then gestured to a propaganda officer with a camera hanging around his neck to come over and take pictures.

Fatty Feng immediately pulled Section Chief Ma over and squeezed in, standing on Zhang Chengfei's side, while Yang Gangtie and Li Huaide were pushed to the outside.

"Take a picture quickly." Fatty Feng smiled and looked at the junior clerk. "Young comrade, be sure to take a good picture of Zhang Chengfei from our machinery factory to make him look handsome."

The words "our machinery factory" are emphasized. Upon hearing this, Li Huaide gave a forced smile and said, "Everyone knows that Comrade Zhang Chengfei works at the machinery factory, so Lao Feng, you don't need to emphasize it anymore."

Old Feng laughed and said, "I'm just worried that someone might be eyeing this coveted prize."

Wow, that's a sharp remark! Old Ma secretly gave him a thumbs up, as if to say, "Factory manager, you're really something else!"

In terms of position, Li Huaide was the second-in-command of the main factory, while Lao Feng was only the head of the branch factory, a lower position than the other.

In terms of administrative rank, Li Huaide is at the deputy director-general level, while Lao Feng is only at the division chief level; they are not even in the same league.

Because of these reasons, when Lao Feng clashed with the people from the main factory, he always took a roundabout approach.

There aren't many times when we dare to confront things head-on like we are now.

Seeing Lao Ma give a thumbs up, Lao Feng smiled wickedly.

He had received confirmation from the Ministry of Machine Building that as long as their factory's electric heating cups were produced well, the machinery factory could be separated from the steel rolling mill.

As long as it can be separated from the foreign trade factory, he wouldn't be afraid of Li Huaide or even Yang Gangtie!

……

After the meeting,

Section Chief Ma summoned Zhang Chengfei to his office under the pretext of having a conversation with him.

Zhang Chengfei entered the room and looked around: "Don't even mention the section chief, your new office is much better than the cramped room you used to live in."

Section Chief Ma said proudly, "I told Sister Xie I wanted a private office, and she arranged it for me without hesitation. She really cares about me."

Zhang Chengfei thought to himself, "God, you care about me? This is Sister Xie's job, it's within her normal work scope, okay?"

He complained in the letter, but dared not show his teeth on the surface. Not to mention that Old Ma was a soldier with a fierce aura, the original owner's small body couldn't withstand a punch from Old Ma.

He walked to the side and poured himself a cup of tea.

Old Ma asked him to pour himself a glass and then inquired about his interactions with Old Tian.

Zhang Chengfei thought for a moment: "Because of the heating issue, we've been getting quite close lately, but Lao Tian is very cautious, and I haven't found any clues."

Old Ma took the tea he was offered and placed it on the table: "This man is indeed very cunning, extremely good at hiding his true nature."

Zhang Chengfei then asked, "What leads have you made regarding the engineer I mentioned before?"

"There really is one..." Old Ma took out his key, opened the drawer, took out a folder, and handed it to Zhang Chengfei.

Zhang Chengfei looked at it for a moment: "It really is him..."

Old Ma: "It's now confirmed that the man who married the woman from the small country, changed his surname, and followed her to the small country is that engineer..."

Now I have every reason to suspect that Lao Tian was turned by him.

Zhang Chengfei said thoughtfully, "Very likely."

It was evident from the previous conversations that Lao Tian had deep feelings for the engineer who had saved his life.

Although he personally loathed notebooks, if his savior persuaded him and made generous material promises, Old Tian might just waver.

Old Ma lowered his voice: "I have another piece of news for you. We now have definite information that this engineer is also lurking in Beijing."

There's also a special task force monitoring his situation. We've now exchanged information, or rather, the two teams have successfully joined forces!

Zhang Chengfei raised an eyebrow: "So that means we can proceed with the arrest?"

Old Ma shook his head: "Not yet. They're still in the process of unraveling the mystery. They've instructed us not to alert them and to wait for the right moment to strike together and make the arrests simultaneously."

Zhang Chengfei then asked, "So, when is the right time?"

Old Ma's eyes sharpened: "It will take at least another half month."

"Half a month? But our mini-tiller will be ready for trial production in two or three days at most." Zhang Chengfei frowned.

"If all else fails, I'll just say the drawings you submitted aren't good enough and ask you to redraw them?" Old Ma tentatively suggested.

"No, the time required for a micro-tiller from design to trial production to launch is already long, and we can't afford to waste even a minute," Zhang Chengfei refused.

"We can't possibly let Tian Zhigang get involved, can we?" Old Ma couldn't help but start swearing again.

Zhang Chengfei thought for a moment and said, "Leave this to me. I'll figure out a way to stop Lao Tian from joining the research group."

Old Ma asked him if he had any ideas, and Zhang Chengfei shook his head: "I haven't thought of anything yet, but there will always be a way."

Old Ma looked at him and said, "You little rascal, alright, I'll trust you this once."

Even if Zhang Chengfei is incompetent, he can always find his own way.

After the conversation ended, to make the act more convincing, Lao Ma personally escorted Zhang Chengfei to the door.

"You're a good kid. Keep up the good work, and the factory will reward you handsomely in the future."

Zhang Chengfei grinned mischievously: "I've already received the factory's reward. But don't forget the pound of premium Maojian tea you promised to send me in your personal capacity, Section Chief."
