Siheyuan, my new life

The staff of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office who were present had already identified the informant from the strange expressions of the two deputy directors.

Everyone's eyes were filled with sarcasm and anger. You have to know that what these two guys did affected the interests of everyone present. At this time of tight supply, Secretary Zhou was able to use his personal connections to get those extremely precious and scarce materials for everyone, which made everyone have great expectations for this year's Spring Festival benefits. However, these two deputy directors of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office not only failed to bring practical benefits to everyone, but also secretly tipped off their superiors for their own selfish reasons. This behavior made everyone feel disgusted.

You should know that in recent years, for the welfare of various units during the New Year and other festivals, the superiors only approved a sum of funds, which was handed over to the lower-level units to purchase supplies on their own. Whether these ordinary staff members eat meat or drink soup depends entirely on the ability of their unit leaders. In previous years, at most everyone got only two kilograms of pork and a few kilograms of noodles. The best time was just an extra kilogram of soybean oil and a few kilograms of flour, as well as half a kilogram of peanuts and melon seeds per person.

Everyone knew it when they were unloading the truck just now. Today, the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill sent over 4,000 kilograms of rice and flour, 2,000 kilograms of pork and beef, as well as milk powder, chocolate and sugar that are usually not available. Everyone knew that these supplies could not all be distributed to the staff of the street office, and there must be other uses. But even if it was less, it would far exceed the previous New Year's goods.

In fact, just now in their respective offices, many people were washing their faces while talking about the amount of New Year's goods they would get this year. Everyone generally believed that at least everyone could get ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, five kilograms of pork and five kilograms of beef. As for those precious milk powder, chocolate and sugar, it depended on luck. But if they could get these things, everyone would be overjoyed. You know, many families haven't yet found the meat and flour for making dumplings for the New Year.

Now they know that the two deputy directors of their office had secretly called their superiors and reported that the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office had a large amount of precious materials. Now the deputy district head Liu Jianye of the district government has even made an exorbitant request to take away most of the materials and use them as welfare for those leaders. The anger in the eyes of the staff present at this moment is as if they want to burn these two traitors to ashes. Seeing that something that is about to be obtained is about to disappear, who would be willing?

Zhou Xiu stared at the two deputy directors with cold eyes and said coldly: "Deputy Director Zhao, Deputy Director Jiao, shouldn't you explain it to everyone? I think everyone wants to hear your opinions now."

Not to mention the ordinary staff, even several section chiefs glared and stared at these two traitors.

Deputy Director Jiao said awkwardly, "Everyone listen to me. I just mentioned to Deputy Secretary Liao of the District Committee on the phone that our Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office received supplies from the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill today. I just felt that such an important matter should be reported to the superiors. I didn't mean anything else."

Zhou Xiu said disdainfully: "From what Deputy Director Jiao said, it seems that Director Wang and I are not your direct leaders. In your eyes, only Deputy Secretary Liao of the District Committee can be regarded as your leader. If this is the case, then our Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office is not a place for a great god like you. Director Wang, please draft an application immediately, saying that it is my intention to ask the District Committee and District Government to arrange another job for this leaderless Deputy Director Jiao."

Deputy Director Jiao was immediately horrified. If Zhou Xiu directly applied to the district committee and government on the grounds that she was disrespectful to the leadership, she would definitely not end up well. Moreover, Deputy Secretary Liao had already scolded her on the phone and obviously would not stand up for her. So she quickly said, "Secretary Zhou, please listen to my explanation. I have no intention of disrespecting you and Director Wang. I just think that since our Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office received so many supplies at once, we should at least report it to our superiors."

Zhou Xiu sneered and said, "Deputy Director Jiao, who told you that all these things were given to the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office? Ask all the comrades present, who heard Su Wenshu say that? You are ignoring the facts for your own selfish reasons. Don't you know how much money the superiors approved for the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office to distribute Spring Festival benefits this year? What can you buy from the warehouse outside for 300 yuan? If you, Deputy Director Jiao, can buy the same amount of supplies with 300 yuan, not only will I not apply to the superiors, I will also commend you."

Deputy Director Jiao blushed and was speechless. It was not until this moment that he realized a problem. Yes, the district government only approved 300 yuan for the Jiaodaokou Street Office. Those supplies outside could not be bought with 300 yuan, let alone 3,000 yuan. What's more, the supply of supplies outside is tight now. Even if you have money, you can't buy anything, not to mention that the supplies just unloaded from the truck are obviously imported goods.

Zhou Xiu snorted disdainfully. Seeing that Director Wang was already writing furiously, she looked at Deputy Director Zhao who was hanging his head like a turtle and sneered, "Just now, Deputy District Chief Liu Jianye opened his mouth and asked to leave 200 kilograms of rice and flour, 200 kilograms of pork and beef for our Jiaodaokou Street Office, and all the other supplies were used as welfare for the district leaders. I just asked him if he knew what was going on with these supplies. He opened his mouth and wanted to take away most of the supplies without any care, and he was not afraid of being stuffed to death. These supplies were entrusted by Lin Yu to our Jiaodaokou Street Office to distribute Spring Festival condolences to the military martyrs' families and families in need in the area. Some of them were also given to the Jiaodaokou Police Station and our Jiaodaokou Street Office. As a leader of a higher-level department, he doesn't want to help his comrades solve problems, and he has the face to ask for money shamelessly. He is simply a celibate."

The staff present were stunned by Secretary Zhou Xiu's words. At what was almost a plenary meeting of the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, Secretary Zhou openly accused the district government's Deputy District Mayor Liu Jianye of being shameless and doing nothing. These words would definitely spread quickly and this matter would not just pass. It was even less likely that the higher-level leaders would turn a blind eye. Someone would definitely be held accountable in the end, but it was not known whether it would be the heroic Secretary Zhou in front of them, or the pot-bellied Deputy District Mayor Liu.
