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

Seeing that the position of logistics director had been settled, the factory leaders stopped arguing and began to study how to deal with these people in the kitchen.

Final decision.

"Give them a warning, no one will be allowed to take the exam for two years, three months' salary will be deducted, temporary workers will be laid off, and Sha Zhu will be removed from his position as chef squad leader."

"The people in the kitchen will stay in the security room tonight and be released tomorrow!"

After hearing the results of the meeting, the person who was most disappointed was of course Deputy Director Zhou. He felt a little embarrassed as a big man, the son-in-law of his superior, had come to his jurisdiction.

The logistics are about to be out of our control.

However, Deputy Director Zhou was mentally prepared. He knew that someone would have to take the blame for such a big incident. It seemed that he could only wait for an opportunity and then take action slowly.

Take back your rights.

But what Deputy Director Zhou didn't expect was.

A few months after this incident, he was transferred to another small factory as deputy director. Such a big thing happened, and it happened within his jurisdiction.

He must bear the main responsibility. The reason why he was not dealt with at that time was simply to avoid causing major fluctuations. We were afraid that the people at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would become unstable and production would be delayed.

After Director Yang left the meeting room, his face flushed red. He thought that this time, he could place his trusted confidant in charge of logistics, but he did not expect to be stabbed in the back by Deputy Director Zhu.

I chose someone that I wouldn't dare offend easily.

It also taught Director Yang a profound lesson.

Deputy Director Sun looked at Deputy Director Zhu opposite him thoughtfully and left the meeting room without saying a word.

Deputy Director Zhu saw that most people had left and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He had expected this meeting. Everyone thought that since I had formed an alliance with Lao Yang, I had to help him.

"Hehe, it's the interests of the allies, not me who gets the benefit. Compared to Li Huaide's background, of course I am more optimistic about him. He has a strong background, and it's not easy for him to get promoted."

"I helped this time. I believe Li Huaide knows who helped. If he gets promoted in the future, it will be much easier for his son."

When Director Yang returned to the office, he felt more and more aggrieved. He first informed Secretary Yang who was outside of the meeting of the results, and then submitted the entire situation to the higher authorities.

After Director Yang reported the matter, the superiors held a meeting and discussed the matter. They felt that Deputy Director Zhou was not suitable for the position and asked him to stay at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Their job was later adjusted.

When the workers got to work the next day, they heard the announcement from the broadcasting room.

"The logistics director and canteen director were fired, the canteen kitchen was closed, temporary workers were laid off, and most people in the canteen were given a warning, fined, and other punishments."

"Li Huaide takes over as logistics director."

For most workers, changes in positions are irrelevant because this is not what they care about. They only care about whether their leaders are punished.

“People worry not about the lack of food but the inequality of food.” The workers could not enjoy the food, and the factory leaders were not allowed to continue enjoying it. After hearing that the small kitchen was closed, warm cheers rang out in all the workshops.

He won a lot of reputation for Director Yang and was considered to be a good leader who got things done.

This is what most ordinary people think, but they have never thought about, nor would they think about, the deeper level of the struggle.

Only the logistics cadres were feeling uneasy. A new emperor appoints new ministers, and with such a big change in logistics, I wonder if the new Director Li will be easy to talk to.

Li Huaide is very good at dealing with people. After taking office, he first appeased his subordinates in the logistics department, and then completely transformed and supervised the kitchen, not allowing the kitchen staff to shake the spoons.

Moreover, Li Huaide used his connections to get a few pigs to help improve the food for the entire factory. The arrival of the pork immediately brought him huge reputation, and people thought that Director Li was capable.

This allowed him to firmly secure his position as logistics director.

Of course, this is a story for later.

...

Zhang Minghui was cooking outside when he saw aunties and uncles from various families coming out to chat non-stop, their faces full of anxiety. Usually, the men in their families would have gone home from get off work long ago.

It’s so late today, why haven’t you come back yet?

When I arrived at the Intermediate Court and asked around, I realized that none of them had returned. Only then did I stop worrying. I thought something must have happened at the factory.

The aunts and sisters were chatting while looking towards the hanging flower gate, hoping to catch a glimpse of their men at first sight.

Xu Damao pedaled so hard that sparks flew. He had a bright smile on his face and was so happy that he kept ringing the bell and riding very fast on the street.

I just wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible and spread the news.

"Shazhu, you bastard, let's see if you dare to shake the spoon in front of grandpa again. This time you get your retribution!"

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he didn't brake and went a few meters forward. Yan Fugui was looking back and forth at the gate. Seeing Xu Damao so anxious, he thought something had happened.

He quickly ran forward a few steps and asked anxiously.

"Da Mao, did something happen in the factory? Why didn't anyone come back today? Tell me quickly!"

Xu Damao supported himself on the ground with his feet, barely catching his breath when he heard Yan Fugui's barrage of questions, gasping for breath and speaking loudly.

"Uncle, something big happened in the factory. It was a logistics issue. The neighbors in the yard are fine, but Sha Zhu was arrested. Let's talk about it when we get into the yard!"

After getting off the car, Xu Damao pushed the car and went into the courtyard with Yan Fugui and came to the central courtyard.

Hearing the noise coming from the middle courtyard, Zhang Minghui covered the pot and hurried to the middle courtyard to watch the excitement.

As soon as I arrived at the Intermediate Court, I saw Xu Damao, who was talking with his hands and feet gesticulating about the major events that had happened in the factory. His saliva was flying all over the place, and he spoke in a very exaggerated way, but he didn't describe the main points.

Zhang Minghui listened with great interest and thought to himself.

"Hey, Xu Damao has a great talent for language! The scene he depicts is so vivid!"

Still, Wang Lizhu couldn't help but interrupt.

"Brother Mao, this is not good! Tell us what's going on. It's not enough to just exaggerate the atmosphere!"

"Yes."

The aunts and sisters-in-law around him all urged Xu Damao to get to the point.

Xu Damao was interrupted and was very dissatisfied with Wang Lizhu. Seeing that everyone was urging him, he could only tell what happened in the factory.

As soon as this was said, the aunties and sisters started talking about it, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively. Everyone was chatting and laughing.

During this period, Sha Zhu often brought good things home, and the neighbors all saw it. He also often stewed meat without saying who he was giving it to, which had long made the neighbors dissatisfied.
