When Xu Jiao returned to the bedroom, Xu Peng's face became gloomy. He was not a simple person. He instigated his co-workers on the one hand to help them get their deserved benefits, and on the other hand to consolidate his influence in Yinzhou Heavy Machinery. As the Municipal Party Committee working group was about to arrive in Yinzhou Heavy Machinery, he foresaw that a storm was about to begin in Yinzhou Heavy Machinery. Whether he could make a name for himself depended on this.

On Wednesday afternoon, the second batch of the working group came to Yinzhou Heavy Machinery for investigation.

As soon as Wei Min got out of the car, Ma Xiangnan greeted him warmly. Ma Xiangnan was a deputy director, and Wei Min was a director. Ma Xiangnan's rank was higher than Wei Min's, but Wei Min's identity was special. He was deep in the Commission for Discipline Inspection, a key department, and was also the director of the Supervision Bureau. Ma Xiangnan naturally had to deal with him well.

As for Fang Zhicheng, Ma Xiangnan did not pay too much attention to him. The main reason was that Fang Zhicheng was too young, and Ma Xiangnan would inevitably look down on him.

After leaving the workshop, Ma Xiangnan led Wei Min on a tour. Although Yinzhou Heavy Machinery is in a loss-making state every year, the workshop still gives people a sense of the courage of a large enterprise.

In the assembly line workshop of about 10,000 square meters, various machines make endless noises.

Ma Xiangnan, with a bulging belly, introduced with a smile: "Yinzhou Heavy Machinery is now operating well. Two major European customers have decided to renew the contract and it is expected to return to profitability in the second half of the year. We have gone through a difficult period. Fortunately, the government has spared no effort to support Yinzhou Heavy Machinery, which has given us a sigh of relief. Director Wei, please rest assured that we will not disappoint the city government's expectations!"

Wei Min pointed to an area not far away and asked, "Which department is that over there?" There was a very empty area over there, with many idle machine tools, which caught Wei Min's attention.

Ma Xiangnan calmly introduced: "That's the machine tool spare area, which is not open yet. If a machine tool breaks down during busy hours, a spare machine tool will be transferred in from that area."

Wei Min smiled faintly and continued the tour with Ma Xiangnan. Half an hour later, they entered the conference room for a discussion.

Deputy General Manager Hu Yande presided over the meeting, and Ma Xiangnan also gave some introductions to Yinzhou Heavy Machinery. When Wei Min was speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the meeting room. Wei Min frowned, glanced at Ma Xiangnan, and said, "What's going on?"

Ma Xiangnan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'll go out and take a look. Director Wei, please wait for a moment."

About five minutes after Ma Xiangnan went out, the noise suddenly became louder. Suddenly, Qin He, the chairman's assistant, walked in from outside the door and whispered something in Hu Yande's ear.

After hearing this, Hu Yande was horrified. Seeing Wei Min's puzzled expression, he whispered, "Director Wei, something went wrong. Mr. Ma was beaten up..."

Wei Min snorted coldly and said, "What's going on? Comrade Yan De, why don't you confess?"

Hu Yande smiled bitterly and explained the whole story.

In fact, Yinzhou Heavy Machinery had stopped production for many days because of no orders, and the workers in the workshop today were temporarily invited back by Ma Xiangnan to deal with the municipal government's research team. Most of these workers were owed wages, and after being invited back, they went to the financial department, but their wages were still not paid, so they naturally refused and started to make trouble.

After Ma Xiangnan left, he said, "Hello, everyone. I am the chairman, Ma Xiangnan." But the people below were extremely angry. Two or three workers rushed up, pushed Ma Xiangnan to the ground, and beat him up.

Listening to the sound of the ambulance outside, Wei Min's face was gloomy. He stood up and said unhappily: "The problem of Yinzhou Heavy Machinery is now so serious. As the management, you are still covering it up. It's really infuriating."

Hu Yande looked gloomy, and said softly: "Director Wei, I have something to discuss with you in private, is that okay?"

Ma Xiangnan had been bullying Yinzhou Heavy Machinery for a long time, treating the company as his personal property and using public funds to eat and drink excessively. However, Yinzhou Heavy Machinery had a solid foundation and would not have fallen so easily. The main reason was that Ma Xiangnan did not understand the operation of the company, causing the entire management system to be bloated, resulting in two delayed delivery orders, so that the European customer tore up the contract.

Hu Yande knew that Ma Xiangnan would be in big trouble this time, so he took the initiative to communicate with Wei Min, hoping to make amends.

Chapter 0021: No room for termites

Ma Xiangnan suffered a great loss. Although his injury was not serious, he was still lying in the ambulance and was sent to the hospital. Smart people knew that Ma Xiangnan did this to win sympathy.

"Wife, did you call your godmother just now?"

"Yes! How many times have you asked me this?"

"What did godmother say?"

"She was very angry and said she would tell her godfather later."

Lying on the hospital bed, Ma Xiangnan kept paying attention to his mobile phone until the name of his old leader appeared on the phone number, and then his face suddenly brightened.

"Xiao Ma, what happened? I just heard from your godmother that someone attacked you?" Although the old leader has been retired for many years, his words still give people a sense of calmness. As an official who retired after entering the Central Political Bureau, he has made great contributions to Yinzhou. Almost all the top leaders of Yinzhou were trained by him personally. For example, the current mayor Xia Xiang was the old leader's secretary back then.

Ma Xiangnan's relationship with the old leader was even better. Although the old leader had three sons, they all had their own perspectives and were not necessarily considerate and caring. Ma Xiangnan seized this opportunity and kept in touch with the old leader's wife. The old leader's wife liked Ma Xiangnan very much, so she adopted Ma Xiangnan as her adopted son. Of course, this relationship was very secretive. After the old leader left Yinzhou, only a limited number of people knew about it.

Because Ma Xiangnan had such a background, Xia Xiang usually treated Ma Xiangnan with a non-interference attitude. When Yinzhou Heavy Machinery was thriving, Xia Xiang gave this piece of cake to Ma Xiangnan, just in time to move it out of the city government.

Ma Xiangnan deliberately asked his wife to call his godmother, and as expected, his godmother immediately told the old leader about the matter. The old leader could not sit still and took the initiative to ask Ma Xiangnan about the cause and effect of the matter.

Ma Xiangnan briefly told the whole story. The old leader pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "Xiao Ma, tell me the truth. Have you violated any discipline in all these years at Yinzhou Heavy Machinery?"

Ma Xiangnan's face turned stern, and he quickly said decisively: "No! Someone is trying to mess with me now." Ma Xiangnan suspected that the attack today was completely premeditated. With the working group present, such a big disturbance occurred, and it was obvious that someone was secretly planning it. So Ma Xiangnan immediately thought of Song Wendi.

The old leader raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? Who is it?"

Ma Xiangnan said softly, "Song Wendi."

The old leader remained silent for a long time, and Fang asked, "Why did the new municipal party secretary want to punish you?"

“I don’t know either…” Ma Xiangnan didn’t dare to say anything more, because he knew that the old leader was meticulous. If he maliciously attacked Song Wendi, it would cause the old leader’s disgust.

The reason why Ma Xiangnan is valued by his old leader is that he speaks very tactfully and knows what he can say and what he cannot say.

The old leader sighed and said, "You should have a good rest. I will call Comrade Wendi later to communicate with him."

Ma Xiangnan was delighted and said with a smile: "Thank you so much."

After getting the promise from his old leader, Ma Xiangnan felt relieved and immediately called his old friend, Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "I was just about to express my condolences to you, but I didn't expect you to call me on your own initiative."
