Niu Hongzhang paced irritably back and forth in his office.
Meanwhile, Section Chief Wan and Lai Jiayi sat obediently on the sofa, their eyes fixed tightly on Niu Hongzhang's footsteps. Their heads swayed back and forth, like worried parents watching over a child taking her first unsteady steps, terrified that he would suddenly crash to the floor and burst into tears.
Of course, Niu Hongzhang was already in his fifties, so he certainly would not burst into tears.
But ever since Section Chief Wan and Lai Jiayi had entered, Niu Hongzhang's mouth had not stopped moving for a moment, rattling on and on as he cursed furiously.
"This is utter nonsense! He wants to reform things, so he reforms them? He wants to expand the staff, so he expands it? Li Ye is only a section-level cadre, yet he opens his mouth and demands three more section-level positions? Who does he think he is?"
"Before I came here, the higher-ups told me the Light Vehicle Company's situation was complicated. I never imagined it was this complicated. Even the basic procedures for personnel appointments can be changed at will. What a joke."
"And what was with Yang Chengming and Cheng Zhijian today? They actually didn't oppose Li Ye's absurd proposal. What the hell were they thinking?"

Niu Hongzhang kept firing off furious questions, but neither Section Chief Wan nor Lai Jiayi answered any of them.
Because Niu Hongzhang knew the answers himself. He had no need for those two clever clogs to babble on.
At the meeting that day, Li Ye had proposed expanding the sales department of First Branch Factory. Ma Zhaoxian immediately supported him, while Niu Hongzhang opposed him.
Niu Hongzhang's reason for opposing it was that such a major matter had to be reported upward and discussed
