Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

The city was a sea of ​​red in the 1940s. The streets were full of young people in their 17s and 18s wearing green military uniforms and workers in blue-grey work clothes waving flags and shouting slogans.

red star rolling mill

A car drove into the gate and stopped slowly just before reaching the office building.

Li Huaide and Li Ming, wearing grey Zhongshan suits, were waiting in line with a dozen leaders of the Red Star Steel Mill.

The car door opened, and a man in his thirties wearing glasses and holding a briefcase came out. Li Huaide hurried forward and said with a smile

"Secretary Hong, welcome to visit our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Secretary Hong raised his eyes and nodded coldly. He first glanced at the surrounding environment, then looked at the leadership team of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in front of him, and said without emotion.

"Let's go to the meeting room"

Li Huaide looked at Secretary Hong, who looked so cold, and silently glanced at Zhang Renkang behind him. Seeing him shaking his head, he said nothing more and nodded.

"Okay, let's go to the conference room first. I've prepared a simple lunch for Secretary Hong at noon. Let Secretary Hong have a good taste of the food at our steel mill."

Secretary Hong laughed and said with a hint of meaning:

"I've heard that there's a Golden Nest in this city. The food at your Red Star Steel Mill is really amazing. I'm so lucky to have a taste of it once."

Smiling, he walked upstairs to the office building first

Li Huaide's face froze, and then he followed behind and said without changing his expression

"Secretary Hong is joking."

"We are all hard-working workers here. If the factory can find a way to solve some of the problems, we will naturally find ways to help the workers solve them."

Secretary Hong said

"Why don't you solve the problem? I heard that the meat in your factory is shipped in by truckloads."

"Where did it come from?"

"How can people view this issue? Everyone is working hard, why are you so extravagant? Who gave you the rights?"

Li Huaide was so angry at his words that he wondered where this thing came from. He wanted to stir up trouble without asking any questions. When would it be his turn as a crappy secretary to show off in this steel mill?

Li Huaide said coldly

"If Secretary Hong thinks this is unreasonable or problematic, you can check it out."

"As for where we got it from, you are not qualified to ask."

Li Huaide snorted and walked forward, passing Secretary Hong and entering the office building. I'm giving you face for the sake of the Ministry of Industry. You're a crappy secretary, but you think you're something important. Don't you know whose son-in-law I am?

Since May this year, the leadership of the Red Star Steel Mill has changed from the Factory Committee to the Ideological Committee. As a major factory in the Ministry of Industry over the past year, the steel mill has attracted too much attention and concern.

If Zhao Dingcheng had not become the chairman of the Ministry of Industry's Ideological and Political Affairs Committee, someone would have come to seize the steel mill.

Today, Secretary Hong came from another department of the Ministry of Industry to inspect the work of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Secretary Hong had just been transferred to the Ministry of Industry this year, and he was still not familiar with the personnel relations inside. In addition, he relied on his uncle who was the director of the Sijiucheng Ideological and Political Committee, and he was arrogant and arrogant, and offended many people in the Ministry of Industry.

The reason why he was asked to inspect the Red Star Steel Mill today was because someone wanted to use the Red Star Steel Mill to severely punish his prestige.

Secretary Hong was stunned for a moment. During this period of time, he had been served carefully and well wherever he went. He had developed a domineering personality. He was almost unable to react after being choked by Li Huaide's breath.

After coming to his senses, Secretary Hong's face turned blue with anger as he watched the leadership team of the steel mill pass by him and follow Li Huaide into the building without even looking at him. He looked at the leaders of the steel mill in front of him with hatred and vowed in his heart to punish them.

After taking a few breaths, Secretary Hong followed the crowd into the conference room with a grim look on his face. He looked at Li Huaide sitting in the main seat and Zhang Renkang and Li Ming on his left and right and sneered.

"Secretary Li is so powerful!"

“I’ve been to so many factories and this is the first time I’ve seen this.”

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Secretary Hong, you will see more if you travel more."

"But there is one thing you said incorrectly. There is no prestige in our factory. We are all public servants, serving the workers."

“If we want to be majestic, it’s the people who are majestic. Only when the people are majestic can our new society be vigorous and full of vitality.”

"Is that right, Secretary Hong?"

Secretary Hong was choked by Zhang Renkang, and he laughed and said

"It seems that your Red Star Steel Mill is full of talented people."

"I wonder if your work can be as fluent as your speaking skills."

After taking a cold look at Zhang Renkang and Li Huaide

Secretary Hong took out a piece of paper from his briefcase and said

"According to the instructions from the higher authorities, why didn't your factory launch the "Four Olds" campaign?"

“Why is there no movement to criticize these examples of backward thinking?”

“Why not publish an article of support?”

"I see that there are a large number of people among you who are not loyal to the country and the cause, and are lackeys who sympathize with the capitalist-roaders. You..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Renkang slammed the table and shouted

"Secretary Hong, are you here on behalf of the Ministry of Industry to understand our work, or are you a hostile element sent by some saboteurs who want to destroy people's property, confuse right and wrong and disrupt our industrial system?"

“I find your position highly questionable.”

"Tell me, you don't approve of the Supreme Ideological Committee's commendation of us?"

"Or do you have any objections to the decision of the Supreme Ideological Committee leadership group?"

"Since you are against the Supreme Ideological Committee, then express your opinions directly. I will report them to the higher authorities on your behalf."

"It just so happened that the person in charge of the Ideological and Political Affairs Committee leadership group met with me a few days ago and said that we have done a very good job. Now the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has become an advanced model representative unit, and our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Ideological and Political Affairs Committee group is also an excellent model example, which should be promoted as a model."

"Are you questioning your superiors?"

Secretary Hong asked a lot of questions, intending to take the initiative and put the blame on the leadership of the Red Star Steel Mill. He really didn't know that the Red Star Steel Mill had been received by the highest group of the Ideological and Political Committee.

He had just been transferred back from Tianjin by his uncle, so he had no idea what was happening in the city. In addition, his colleagues in the Ministry of Industry were very dissatisfied with him and were happy to see him suffer, so they did not tell him the details of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Secretary Hong was speechless for a moment. Li Huaide laughed and said

"It seems that Secretary Hong's understanding is not enough."

"I suggest submitting a letter of inquiry to the Ministry of Industry to ask Secretary Hong what his intentions are and what his position is in going against the instructions of the Supreme Committee."

"Could it be that they are trying to overthrow the command of the Supreme Group?"

Secretary Hong was so frightened by Li Huaide's words that he collapsed from his chair to the ground. How could he dare to question the decision of the highest group? He just wanted to show off his power. Who knew that he would hit a wall?

Secretary Hong slumped on the ground, pointed at Zhang Renkang and stammered:

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say that I was dissatisfied with the Supreme Committee? When did I ever say that I would oppose the instructions of the Supreme Committee?"

"I firmly support the instructions of my superiors"

How funny it is.

Several leaders in the steel mill conference room saw him like this and started laughing, making Secretary Hong look embarrassed.

Seeing that he knew the pros and cons, Li Huaide said quietly

"Secretary Hong, please explain clearly who is the most powerful person in our steel mill?"

"This is a matter of principle and should not be underestimated."

Secretary Hong endured the humiliation and whispered

"What I mean is that the steel mill has a more vigorous look and spirit, and you can tell at a glance that the people there are full of revolutionary enthusiasm."

Secretary Hong, who was completely embarrassed, hurriedly announced a new top directive, and then left in disgrace without even having lunch.

He had to go back and find out the origins of this steel mill so that he could make plans. Today was the most embarrassing day for him in recent times. If he knew that this Red Star Steel Mill had no origins,

Secretary Hong vowed to take revenge
