Lin Wei, an engineer at Xialong Machinery Factory, was two minutes late for repairing a machine all night, so the new factory director Zhang Tao deducted his 100,000 year-end bonus. Zhang Tao also promoted his nephew Zhang Hao and hired a money expert with a high salary in an attempt to replace Lin Wei. However, Lin did not follow the factory rules and did not pay extra. In the end, the equipment was scrapped and Party A was held accountable. Zhang Tao and others also wanted to blame Lin Wei, and did not want Party A's representatives to treat Lin Wei respectfully.
