Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

After hearing Director Yang's promise to resign, the workers on site gradually calmed down.

Director Yang winked at several workshop directors, who immediately reacted and appeased the workers in the workshops, asking them to leave work and go home quickly.

After all, he was their immediate superior, so the workers slowly returned to the main gate and prepared to go off work.

Director Yang saw the workers leaving in an orderly manner. He wiped the sweat from his head, his face darkened, and turned around to look at Sha Zhu and the others.

Before Director Yang could say anything, the comrades from the Security Department spoke first.

"Director Yang, we checked the comrades in the cafeteria today. They all filled two lunch boxes and said that they had leftovers from lunch and were going to take them home to eat in the evening."

"And Comrade He Yuzhu, there is half a chicken and half a pound of meat in the lunch box, saying it is leftover from the small kitchen. You also allowed it."

Director Yang was in the office and heard the general situation. Now he understood why the workers rioted and why the people in the cafeteria were going too far.

Especially He Yuzhu, how could he not cause complaints from his fellow workers when he took such a good thing out?

But there are so many people on the scene, we can’t handle it here. Director Yang opened his mouth and said.

"Comrade, please ask your security department to lock them up first and conduct a thorough investigation. We need to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with them."

After hearing what Director Yang said, everyone in the cafeteria lowered their heads and didn't dare to say much. Sha Zhu stood aside with a pale face.

The workers' riot just now scared them badly and they knew they had caused trouble.

Director Yang looked at the factory leaders behind him and decided to hold a meeting immediately. This matter could not be delayed. Once a problem was discovered, it must be solved.

Secretary Yang is studying abroad, and the factory is now in the hands of Director Yang. If something goes wrong, Director Yang's future will be ruined.

After Director Yang gave the order, the security department arrested everyone in the cafeteria. Only a few people who did not bring any food that day escaped.

Xu Damao and the others were watching with great excitement, and they felt happy. They didn't expect that they just wanted to teach Sha Zhu a lesson, but they found so many people who brought food.

It's okay this time.

The entire logistics department will have to follow suit.

Director Yang asked his secretary to inform all the leaders in the factory that a meeting of middle-level leaders would be held. Comrades who had gone home must hurry back and deal with this matter today.

At around 6:30, all the workers in the factory had left. Director Yang took Deputy Directors Zhu and Sun to the office to discuss what to do after the meeting.

These two people are his allies in the factory. They must communicate with each other before the meeting and discuss it before deciding who to target.

Director Yang watched the two of them smoking without saying anything, and he knew they were waiting for him to speak first. Director Yang took a puff of his cigarette and spoke slowly.

"The main reason for the workers' riot this time was the problem of the canteen and the small kitchen, which is under the management of logistics. I think this is due to poor supervision. The leaders should be held responsible for this."

"Old Zhu and Old Sun, do you think that Deputy Director Zhou should be fully responsible for this matter?"

After Deputy Director Zhu and Deputy Director Sun looked at each other, they knew that Lao Yang was going to take action on logistics. Since Lao Yang became the second-in-command, his power has been growing.

He wanted to place his trusted aides in every department of the factory so that he could control the factory more easily. However, although the plan was good, it was difficult to implement.

Several deputy factory directors are not vegetarians.

Director Yang encountered repeated setbacks in logistics. He was unable to insert anyone into the logistics department. Even if he sent someone in, they would be marginalized after a while or even reported by others.

This time the opportunity came, and Director Yang wanted to take advantage of it to take over the logistics in one fell swoop. Of course, for such a big thing, he must seek the consent of his allies.

Deputy Director Zhu is over 50 years old and will retire in a few years. He doesn't want to compete for fame and fortune or place any cronies in positions of power.

He just wanted to protect his son, so that he could make progress in the factory and have a good future.

"Director Yang, I will listen to you on this matter. I will stand by and cheer you on no matter what you say."

Seeing Deputy Director Zhu speak, Deputy Director Sun took a puff of his cigarette and spoke softly.

"I think Lao Zhou should bear full responsibility. Such a big problem happened in the logistics department. It's obviously his poor supervision. I think those in charge of logistics should be punished to serve as a warning to others."

After the three of them discussed for a while, they reached an agreement and prepared to go to the meeting.

At seven o'clock in the evening, in the conference room of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, all the cadres sat on both sides, waiting for Director Yang to preside over the meeting.

Seeing that everyone was present, Director Yang sat in the main seat and started talking.

"I think everyone has heard about what happened today! I will report the situation first, and then we can discuss how to deal with this matter."

Afterwards, Director Yang introduced the Security Department’s investigation results to the factory cadres.

After everyone understood the situation clearly, Director Yang spoke first.

"Comrades, this time the workers' riot was caused by problems in the cafeteria, but the most critical problem was the logistics. It was precisely because of inadequate logistics management."

"That's why canteen workers often take their meals home. According to workers, the canteen often withholds their food rations."

"Deputy Director Zhou, you have always been in charge of logistics. Now that such a big problem has arisen, please tell us first!"

Deputy Director Zhou is in his forties, wears glasses and looks very gentle. When he heard what Director Yang said, he knew that he was going to make a move on logistics.

But Deputy Director Zhou was not a pushover, as he had been able to hold Director Yang accountable for such a long time without letting him interfere in logistics matters. He had already made proper arrangements and opened his mouth to speak.

"I suggest that we first remove Director Wang from his post and Director of the canteen and investigate them, so that the workers can be given an explanation. We should also replace the leadership team and strictly control the logistics and canteen areas."

"Close the small kitchen in the cafeteria. Food is in short supply now, and this small kitchen is a bit out of date."

Hearing about Deputy Director Zhou's drastic decision, the main leaders of the factory became excited.

There was a heated debate at the meeting. Several people were vying for the position of logistics director, and they all wanted to send their own confidants to take this position.

No one was willing to give in. Deputy Director Zhu, who had remained silent, suddenly mentioned a name, Li Huaide, and asked him to take charge of logistics.

Upon hearing this name, the factory managers who were arguing stopped talking. They were all well-informed people and knew that Li Huaide was the son-in-law of the leader above, so no one dared to object.

In this way, Li Huaide took the position of logistics director and became a rising star in the factory.
