Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1790 I swear

In the following days, the construction of the Internal Audit Department accelerated. According to Yang Xiaotao's instructions, each team first set up the framework and gathered people. In the subsequent work, those who were capable were retained, and those who were incapable were sent back to their original departments.

During this period, the first group of the Quality Inspection Department was formed the fastest, and the other groups also made rapid progress.

Two of the groups were responsible for the chemical plant. Xu Yuanshan recommended one person, Wei Xinyu, who used to be a technician at the chemical plant. He had solid skills and was a conscientious person.

Many of the people I recruit are recent high school graduates who have a good understanding of chemical engineering.

Group 3 is responsible for the pharmaceutical factory. The person in charge is also recommended by Bai Jingshu, Tan Yuefei. Yang Xiaotao is not sure about her specific abilities.

However, Yang Xiaotao still asked Mr. Chen for help and found a few people to join in.

Drug safety is above all else!
Group 4 was responsible for the steel plant and the timber mill. Yang Xiaotao felt it was not worthwhile to set up a separate working group for the timber mill, so he just had one group do it.

The team leader in charge was called Zhang Guangmu. He was not the steel plant employee recommended by Guan Zhiyong, but a classmate recommended by An Zhongsheng. The two of them had visited the alliance together.

He simply boarded the machinery factory's boat, realized his ambition of blowing oxygen into the converter, and got out of the predicament.

However, the other party was just like himself before, working in a small local steel factory, muddled by. It was not until he heard that Yang Xiaotao was looking for someone that An Zhongsheng recommended him.

After receiving the news, the other party quickly came to the machinery factory to report for duty.

Yang Xiaotao met him personally and talked with him for an entire afternoon. He was very satisfied with this man. He thought he was capable and down-to-earth. His execution was especially resolute.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been willing to stay there for more than ten years.

As more and more people arrived, Yang Xiaotao also began to set his sights on the students.

At this time, after this year's college entrance examination was postponed, many students lost their enthusiasm for taking the high school entrance examination.

Some students even shouted that it is better to have a good family background than to be good at studying.

Many students are even more afraid of being assigned to rural areas. Those whose families can afford it will be arranged to join the army, and the rest can only accept their fate.

Under such circumstances, Yang Xiaotao gathered together the junior high school students who had graduated from Yangjiazhuang Primary School in the past two years. After asking some questions, he identified the students who wanted to continue waiting for the college entrance examination, and then encouraged the rest to enter the machinery factory.

In the past few years, a total of 135 junior high school students have graduated from Yangjiazhuang. Many of them have entered the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Excluding those preparing to apply for high school, there are less than people left.

Among these fifty people, some also had some lucky hopes. After all, as intellectuals, they had a broader vision than their parents who only knew how to farm, and they had their own ideas.

Yang Xiaotao did not force it. They were all adults and had the right to make their own choices.

Of course, you also have to bear the consequences of your choices.

In the end, only thirty-one people chose to follow Yang Xiaotao into the machinery factory and become workers.

In addition, Yang Xiaotao also found 19 people from the school, all of whom were students with good academic performance.

Although academic performance does not represent one's character, Yang Xiaotao still attaches great importance to it as an important criterion at present.

A student’s job is to study. If someone can’t do this job well, how can he be competent for other jobs?
There are fifty students, but only seven or eight of them are assigned to each group. There will be a lot of clerical work in the future, so this amount of manpower is not enough.

However, it should be enough to set up the framework in the initial stage, and then recruit people later.

June 16, 1966, the 28th day of the fourth lunar month, was a sunny day.

Sijiucheng, Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Above the large conference room, a long banner appeared at the top, reading 'Red Star Machinery Factory Internal Audit Agency Establishment Conference'.

Below the banner, Mr. Chen sat in the middle, with Mr. Huang and Mr. Wang, who were invited to come, beside him, as well as Mr. Xia and his group.

Their presence made everyone present feel that they were valued by their superiors and made everyone present very alert.

Below, in the front row sat all the factory directors and deputy factory directors of the Red Star Machinery Factory except for the second branch.

In addition to Wang Guodong and Chen Gong, the first row also includes Xu Yuanshan from the chemical plant, Sun Guo from the first branch factory, Ding Xiangjun from the machine repair factory, Bai Jingshu from the pharmaceutical factory, Guan Zhiyong from the steel plant, and Zhou Shenghong from the timber factory.

Behind them are the capable personnel from various factories and branches.

We have to come this time. If they violate the precautions mentioned above again, it would be knowingly committing the crime.

In addition, they also want to know someone who knows internal auditors.

Before the meeting started, everyone's eyes kept looking at the separate seats on the right.

There, there was a group of people wearing black work clothes, sitting upright, feeling the silence of the venue!
The main work clothes in the machinery factory are sky blue, which is similar to the workers' clothes in the whole environment.

The only difference between the tooling of each branch factory is the label, and the factory to which it belongs will be marked with red silk thread below.

But in this crowd, everyone was wearing specially customized black work clothes, which made them look different.

Sitting in front of them were Yang Xiaotao and Liang Zuoxin.

With these two leading the way, no one present dared to underestimate them!
There were two women and one man around them. Many people knew the man, Shen Rong.

I don’t know the woman well, but she looks like someone who is not easy to mess with.

There were men and women, middle-aged people, and many young faces in the back.

These students, who have just stepped out of the ivory tower, have confident sunshine on their faces and are full of energy in their hearts.

Seeing these people, Xu Yuanshan and others looked particularly solemn.

Some people are looking forward to this, thinking that it will bring fresh blood to the machinery factory and that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Some people also criticized it, thinking that a young man who knew nothing had no right to review them and would only affect revolutionary construction.

Everyone has a scale in their heart.

But in front of the leadership of the machinery factory and Yang Xiaotao, they had no intention of resisting at all.

Although Yang Xiaotao is young, his power is growing day by day, his methods are even more powerful, and he has unparalleled prestige in the machinery factory.

To put it bluntly, no one dares to pierce him.

After the meeting started, Yang Youning presided over the meeting and welcomed Mr. Chen and others on behalf of the machinery factory.

Then explain the purpose of the meeting.

The people below listened attentively with uncertain expressions. The knife of the Internal Audit Department had been forged, and now it depended on who would act as the whetstone and unseal the knife.

After Yang Youning finished speaking, he handed the microphone directly to Mr. Chen.

Cough
"I came here with a heavy and excited heart."

"Everyone knows that there were people who forged seals and enriched themselves, and there were people who falsified documents and engaged in speculation and profiteering."

"Are there any other dirty things involved?" "I hope not, but I can't guarantee that there aren't any."

"Therefore, we need a department to resolutely prevent such incidents from happening and protect the safety of people's property."

"And this department is the internal audit department of the Red Star Machinery Factory!"

"I hope that the comrades of the Internal Audit Department can shoulder the mission entrusted to you by the people, workers, superiors and revolutionary comrades, and escort the revolutionary construction!"

"Dare to fight and fight, and dare to fight saboteurs to the end..."

"Don't let your superiors down!"

Papapa

Applause broke out, especially among the black crowd, where the applause was the loudest.

After the applause died down, Yang Youning came to the podium again and said, "Next, please welcome Comrade Yang Xiaotao to give a speech on behalf of the Internal Audit Department of Red Star Machinery Factory!"

Bang bang bang bang
Thunderous applause rang out again.

On the rostrum, Elder Chen and Elder Huang clapped their hands and leaned in to say, "This time Xiao Yang reminded me that our laws and regulations, especially those related to production safety, still have a lot to improve."

"You, the Ministry of First Machinery Industry, must be prepared in advance, discover problems, and rectify them in a timely manner!"

Mr. Huang nodded, "Don't worry, we will follow up at any time!"

Old Chen nodded, then turned his head to give instructions to Old Wang beside him, and Old Wang also agreed.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao, wearing a black work suit with three badges on his chest, came to the podium.

He first saluted towards the podium, then turned around and glanced at the people below the stage.

"Good morning, comrades from the Red Star Machinery Factory!"

"Standing here, I look at everyone present. There are many familiar faces, including my elders, my friends, and even my comrades!"

"They would also ask me what the internal audit department does!"

"Some people say they are investigating their own people!"

"Some people say he is here to pick a fight!"

"Some even say it's just for show!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the place fell silent, and some people even lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.

"Then I will tell you today what the Internal Audit Department does!"

"The Internal Audit Department is just what you said it was, what you thought it was. It's a department that investigates its own people, finds fault with you, and creates trouble for you all!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, many people found it unbelievable, but more people were shocked.

Such a straightforward characterization, said so nonchalantly.

It further demonstrates the determination of the Internal Audit Department and Yang Xiaotao.

At the seats nearby, Shen Rong and the others heard Yang Xiaotao say this, and their originally restless hearts became calm, and their faces became more determined.

When the young people who had just entered the factory heard what Yang Xiaotao said, they felt more reassured and full of energy!
What they do is offend people.

If these are the gossips from others behind their backs, especially if they are accused of something in private, they will feel uncomfortable even if they insist on their own ideas.

But now, with Yang Xiaotao speaking frankly, what psychological burden do they still have?
What others talk about behind their backs is their work.

In fact, the more discussions there are, the better their results are.

What do they have to feel guilty about?
Yang Xiaotao paused for a moment and spoke again.

“But I hope that the Internal Audit Department is everyone’s partner and the internal auditors are everyone’s revolutionary comrades!”

"Because its existence can bring together you, me, and all the people here who have the same revolutionary aspirations and are committed to building the revolution."

"Let us better fight against any evil elements that attempt to undermine the revolutionary construction!"

"It gives us another way to defend the fruits of the revolution!"

“Only those with bad intentions will be afraid of the Internal Audit Department, and only those who intend to break the law and discipline will be hostile to the Internal Audit Department!”

"To please those who obey the law and to scare those who want to break the law."

“This is the Internal Audit Department!”

Yang Xiaotao's powerful voice echoed in the conference hall.

At this moment, the people in the Internal Audit Department had bright eyes and were excited!
At this moment, those who hold grudges feel guilty!
At this moment, those people who were used to being lax and slacking off felt their whole body tense up!
pop
Bang bang bang bang
As the applause rang out, Yang Xiaotao expressed his gratitude again and then strode towards his seat.

Facing the gazes of everyone in the Internal Audit Department, Yang Xiaotao's calm face became even more steadfast.

"Now, please ask all the staff of the Internal Audit Department of Red Star Machinery Factory to stand up, face the national flag, and recite the oath!"

"Please welcome Comrade Yang Xiaotao to be the oath-taker!"

As Yang Youning's voice fell, Yang Xiaotao stood up first, and the people behind him stood up and stood at attention.

Then, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward three steps and looked at everyone from the side. "Please raise your right hand!"

After saying this, he clenched his right fist and raised it with the palm facing forward.

Everyone immediately raised their heads and chests and raised their right hands.

"Under the gaze of the people and under the solemn red flag, I swear!"

"Under the gaze of the people and under the solemn red flag, I swear!"

"Persist in fulfilling your duties, be fair and just, and stick to your heart..."

“Determined…”

……

"The oath is completed..."

As Yang Xiaotao finished, everyone sat down again.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked to the podium, where he read out his acceptance of the appointment in public.

This step is completed, and it is over.
