Siheyuan: Start with a big car

But Director Zhou didn't know that I didn't have too many ideas at all. After I became the head of the security department, I just wanted to protect the coal factory. I never thought about becoming a deputy director.

Besides, I won’t care about you. I just like to wield guns and sticks.

I didn't like being a leader at all, so I rejected Director Zhou's kindness.

For example, regarding personnel transfers within the factory, if the other party is unwilling, the general leader will not force it.

So I didn’t take it seriously.

Who knew that Director Zhou would not play by the rules? Ever since I rejected him, he has been trying to bribe people in our security department.

What he didn't expect was that the brothers in the security department had followed me for many years and would never be bewitched by Director Zhou.

So Director Zhou spent half a year and still got nothing.

At this time, Director Zhou came up with a crooked idea. He placed a deputy section chief in our security department, attempting to have this deputy section chief replace me.

They even set a trap for me, but Director Zhou still underestimated me. I have been working in security work all my life, how could I fail in this matter?

Not only did he fail to catch me, but I sent the deputy section chief into prison instead."

Although Section Chief Zhou spoke very vaguely, Li Weidong still understood it.

You should know that the management of the coal factory is rather chaotic. They live off the mountain, the water, and the coal. The deputy section chief sent by Director Zhou must have been taken down by Section Chief Zhou using this method.

"Chief Zhou, you are a man who dares to take responsibility and do things." Li Weidong praised Chief Zhou and went to the Planning Department under the leadership of Chief Zhou.

Section Chief Zhou smiled as he led Li Weidong and others into the Planning Department. He came to the door of the Section Chief's office, knocked gently, then opened the door and said loudly, "Deputy Section Chief Hu, are you there? The investigation team from the department is here."

Deputy Section Chief Hu was looking at documents at his desk. When he heard Section Chief Zhou's voice, he was startled.

He stood up quickly, a nervous look on his face. When he saw Li Weidong and others, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

Deputy Section Chief Hu came forward with a big smile on his face, extended his hand and said, "Welcome, welcome. I didn't know you were so honored to be here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Li Weidong looked at Deputy Section Chief Hu, nodded slightly, and said, "Hello, I am Li Weidong, who came from the department to investigate the coal supply situation. This time I came mainly to understand the coal dispatching situation in Beijing."

When Deputy Section Chief Hu heard this, he felt even more guilty. He knew that if he was found to have secretly changed the coal dispatch plan, the consequences would be disastrous. But he still pretended to be calm and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Director Li. Welcome, welcome. We will definitely cooperate with the investigation."

As Deputy Section Chief Hu spoke, he secretly observed Li Weidong's expression, trying to read some clues from his face. His eyes flickered and his smile seemed a little stiff.

"Deputy Section Chief Hu, please bring out the coal dispatch records from Beijing. We need to conduct a detailed inspection." Li Weidong said seriously.

Deputy Section Chief Hu's heart tightened. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Director Li, wait a moment. I'll go get the dispatch record."

Deputy Section Chief Hu turned and walked towards the filing cabinet. His steps were somewhat heavy and his heart was filled with anxiety. He searched in the filing cabinet for a while and finally found the coal dispatch record. He held the record, his hands trembling slightly, and thought about how to deal with Li Weidong's inspection.

Deputy Section Chief Hu returned to his desk, handed the dispatch record to Li Weidong, and said, "Director Li, this is our coal dispatch record, please take a look."

Li Weidong took the record and checked it carefully. Deputy Section Chief Hu stood aside, looking at Li Weidong nervously, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Li Weidong looked at the document and frowned.

Clean, so clean.

These dispatch records clearly show that the coal supply in the capital is indeed tight.

If Li Weidong didn't know the truth, he would have been deceived by Deputy Section Chief Hu.

It seems that Deputy Section Chief Hu had already made some preparations before he arrived.

wrong.

If Deputy Section Chief Hu was really not afraid at all, then why was he trembling?
Li Weidong turned his head and looked at Deputy Section Chief Hu, with a firm look in his eyes: "Section Chief Hu, I want to talk to the dispatchers in your dispatch department."

When Deputy Section Chief Hu heard this, he was shocked. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said quickly: "Director Li, this is not convenient. The dispatchers are very busy and have a lot of work to do. I am afraid they can't spare the time to chat with you now."

Li Weidong frowned slightly and said seriously: "Section Chief Hu, I am here with the order from the Ministry to investigate the coal supply situation. You should fully cooperate with my work instead of finding various excuses to shirk your responsibilities."

Deputy Section Chief Hu looked embarrassed, and he was in a state of confusion, not knowing what to do. But he also knew that he could not disobey the orders of the department. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, Director Li. Since you said so, I can't do anything. I will arrange for the dispatchers to meet you now."

Deputy Section Chief Hu walked out of the office and into the conference room. He looked at the dispatchers and said, "The investigation team from the department is here. I hope you can remember what I told you and cooperate with the investigators."

Deputy Section Chief Hu placed special emphasis on the word "well", and the dispatchers naturally understood what he meant.

After a while, Li Weidong and others walked into the meeting room. Li Weidong glanced at the dispatchers present, then slowly asked, "Comrades, I would like to know the current coal supply situation in Beijing?"

The dispatchers looked at each other. After a brief silence, one of them cleared his throat and said, "Leader, the current coal supply in Beijing is very tight. We have tried our best to coordinate, but there are too many people and too little coal." The others nodded in agreement, indicating that this was indeed the case.

Li Weidong frowned slightly and continued to ask: "How tense are you? What specific aspects have been affected?"

The dispatchers began to talk one after another about the various problems caused by the coal shortage, such as insufficient heating in some residential areas, restricted factory production, etc.

Deputy Section Chief Hu stood aside, watching the dispatchers' performance, feeling very proud.

He raised his chin slightly, with a barely perceptible cunningness in his eyes.

Li Weidong sensed something was wrong, but did not continue to ask. He scanned the dispatchers and suddenly asked, "Who is in charge of the dispatch work of the motorcycle workshop?"

The conference room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at each other in confusion. The atmosphere was a little tense. After a moment, Dispatcher Chen hesitated and slowly raised his hand. There was a hint of uneasiness on his face, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion.

Li Weidong looked at Dispatcher Chen, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, tell me about the coal dispatching situation in the motorcycle workshop."

Dispatcher Chen swallowed and glanced at Deputy Section Chief Hu nervously.

Deputy Section Chief Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a warning in his eyes. Dispatcher Chen's heart tightened, and he knew that he was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he didn't want to go against his conscience and conceal the facts; on the other hand, he was afraid of Deputy Section Chief Hu's revenge.

Dispatcher Chen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He slowly said, "Leader, the coal dispatch of the motorcycle workshop... was originally carried out according to plan, but recently due to the tight coal supply in Beijing, so... so there have been some adjustments."

His words were somewhat vague and he did not dare to clearly state the specific situation.

Li Weidong heard his hesitation, turned his head to look at Deputy Section Chief Hu, and immediately understood Chen's concerns.

"Dispatcher Chen, come with me for a walk." Li Weidong said calmly.

Before Dispatcher Chen could react, Deputy Section Chief Hu was startled. His face turned pale and his eyes were filled with panic. He stepped forward and said anxiously, "Director Li, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. If you have any questions, just ask them here. There's no need to go out and talk alone."

Li Weidong frowned slightly, with a hint of majesty in his eyes.

He looked at Deputy Section Chief Hu and said sternly, "Deputy Section Chief Hu, are you interfering with my investigation? I have my own way of investigating, so please don't interfere too much."

Deputy Section Chief Hu's face turned red after being scolded by Li Weidong. He stammered, "Director Li, that's not what I meant. I just felt...I felt that I could get the answer clearly here. There's no need to go out alone."

Li Weidong snorted coldly and said, "I think you have something to hide. I want to ask Dispatcher Chen a question alone now, you'd better not stop me. Otherwise, you should know the consequences."

Deputy Section Chief Hu was speechless, and he did not dare to stop them. He glared at Dispatcher Chen fiercely, his eyes full of warning.

Dispatcher Chen felt nervous and followed Li Weidong, wanting to go out.

Deputy Section Chief Hu saw that things were not going well and immediately rushed over to stop them. Zhao Gang and several security officers who were well prepared also rushed over quickly and stood in front of Deputy Section Chief Hu.

Deputy Section Chief Hu's face was gloomy. He knew that the matter might be exposed, and he became more and more anxious. He shouted outside: "Hurry up! Someone is making trouble!"

Deputy Section Chief Hu was well prepared. He had secretly arranged some temporary workers to be on standby nearby.

Hearing his shouts, the temporary workers rushed in with sticks.

For a moment, the scene became chaotic.

Zhao Gang and others immediately became alert and they closely protected Li Weidong. Zhao Gang glared at the temporary workers and shouted, "What do you want to do? This is a leader from the department, how dare you mess around?"

The temporary workers looked at each other, somewhat hesitantly, but under the pressure of Deputy Section Chief Hu's gaze, they still held up their sticks and refused to give in.

Li Weidong looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and his expression turned serious.

He said loudly: "Deputy Section Chief Hu, are you going to openly resist the investigation? Do you know the consequences of doing so?"

Deputy Section Chief Hu was also a little panicked at this time, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Director Li, I'm not trying to resist the investigation. I just think it's enough to ask here. There's no need to go out and talk alone. These people also came here because they heard the noise and were afraid of something happening."

Li Weidong snorted coldly and said, "Don't quibble anymore. I must talk to Dispatcher Chen alone today, and no one can stop me.

Zhao Gang, control these people for me."

When Deputy Section Chief Hu saw that the temporary workers were stunned, he secretly cursed Chen Laoliu for only knowing how to brag.

That’s right, these temporary workers were all organized by Chen Laoliu.

In those days, the status of a worker was very valuable, and the members around the capital, especially those who were lazy and liked to eat and work, all wanted to work in the factory.

Of course, they also knew that they could not become formal workers without food certificates.

But being able to work as a temporary worker and get paid 15 yuan a month is also fine.

However, ordinary factories are not allowed to hire temporary workers, but the situation in coal factories is special.

You know, there is a lot of heavy work in the coal factory, and it is impossible to rely entirely on regular workers to do it, so Director Zhou hired a large number of temporary workers on the grounds that he was too busy at work.

Of course, Director Zhou also has his own ideas.

He hired temporary workers in order to embezzle money from them.

Generally speaking, temporary workers are paid 15 yuan a month, but Director Zhou is only willing to pay them 10 yuan.

In order to prevent the temporary workers from leaking the news, Director Zhou decided to let his distant relative Chen Laoliu be in charge of this matter. Chen Laoliu is not only in charge of the temporary workers, but also responsible for helping Director Zhou deal with those workers who are usually disobedient.

"Chen Laoliu, this matter was given by the factory director. If you dare to stand aside and watch, don't blame me for being rude."

really.

Chen Laoliu had been hiding nearby, but when he saw Deputy Section Chief Hu getting angry, he realized that he could no longer hide.

Chen Laoliu came out with a smile, looked at Li Weidong and said, "Leader, you are a big leader, please spare us poor people. Don't worry, I am a hunter, and I can catch a lot of prey from the mountains every winter.

Don't worry, as long as you let us go this time, I will definitely kill a big tiger for you this year and cut off the tiger's penis for you, which is a great tonic."

Hearing what Chen Laoliu said, Li Weidong almost laughed out loud.

"Chen Laoliu, this matter is too big for you as a temporary worker to handle, so I think you should think it over. If you leave now, we won't hold you responsible. If you dare to stop us again, don't blame us for being rude!"

As Li Weidong spoke, he winked at Zhao Gang and the others.

Zhao Gang and his companions did not draw their pistols, but picked up wooden sticks.

Chen Laoliu took a step back, spread his hands towards Deputy Section Chief Hu and said, "Old Hu, it's not that I won't help you, but these people are too powerful. We only make a small amount of money every month. There's no need to take such a big risk for you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Section Chief Hu's face darkened.

Even if he was slow-witted, he knew that Chen Laoliu was trying to raise the price. (End of this chapter)
