Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 851 Wang Zhengshan

After learning that the engine was lost, Li Weidong did not investigate it himself, but sent someone to invite Chief Li of the Security Department.

Soon, Chief Li of the Security Department came with the security officer. Chief Li's face was full of tension, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. When he saw Li Weidong, he asked anxiously: "Director Li, what happened? How did the engine get lost?"

Li Weidong frowned slightly and said, "I don't know the details. Qin Jingru found that a defective engine was missing when she checked the inventory. This is a very serious matter. We must find it as soon as possible."

Section Chief Li nodded and said seriously, "I understand. I have asked the security officers to seal off the workshop and start a comprehensive inspection now." After that, Section Chief Li turned around and gave orders to the security officers: "Everyone, divide into several groups and carefully check every corner. Make sure to find the missing engine."

The security officers immediately took action, scattered in every corner of the workshop, and began to carefully check. Section Chief Li and Li Weidong patrolled the workshop, supervising the work of the security officers.

At this tense moment, the atmosphere in the workshop became particularly solemn.

In the spacious and bright office of the steel mill, Deputy Director Wang was humming a little tune happily, and his pen was dancing briskly on the documents. The sunlight shone through the window onto the desk, adding a warm atmosphere to the whole room.

At this time, the assistant came in hurriedly. "Deputy Director, something bad has happened. The motorcycle workshop has lost a defective engine." The assistant's voice broke the silence of the office.

Deputy Director Wang paused with his pen in his hand, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He frowned slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible excitement flashed in his eyes. He immediately realized that this was a good opportunity to snatch the motorcycle workshop from Li Weidong.

Deputy Director Wang put down his pen, stood up, and paced back and forth in the office. His brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to take advantage of this opportunity. "This matter can be big or small, and it must be handled seriously." Deputy Director Wang's tone was full of majesty.

The assistant nodded quickly and said, "Deputy Director, you are right. We should take measures as soon as possible to find the lost engine and also reorganize the motorcycle workshop."

"I've wanted to rectify this for a long time, but Director Yang is too protective of Li Weidong. I'm going to find Director Yang now to see what else he has to say!" Deputy Director Wang muttered to himself as he walked towards Director Yang's office aggressively. His steps were firm and powerful, and his eyes revealed a hint of complacency and calculation.

Arriving at the door of Director Yang's office, Deputy Director Wang straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and then knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Director Yang's voice came from the office.

Deputy Director Wang pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Director Yang sitting at his desk with a serious look on his face and some documents in front of him.

"Director Yang, I heard that the motorcycle workshop lost a defective engine. This is a serious problem." Deputy Director Wang said straight to the point with a hint of blame in his tone.

Director Yang frowned slightly and said, "I already know about this matter and am asking the security department to investigate it with all their strength."

Deputy Director Wang raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile. "Director Yang, I think this matter cannot be taken lightly. I can personally lead the charge and ensure that the lost engine is found as soon as possible, and at the same time, conduct a comprehensive overhaul of the motorcycle workshop." Deputy Director Wang's words were full of confidence and ambition.

Director Yang looked at Deputy Director Wang with some displeasure. He knew that Deputy Director Wang had always been dissatisfied with Li Weidong and wanted to find an opportunity to suppress him. However, he could not ignore the loss of the engine this time.

"Deputy Director Wang, I will handle this matter personally. The Security Department is already doing its best to track it down, and I believe they will be able to find the missing engine. As for reorganizing the motorcycle workshop, we can make a decision after the matter is thoroughly investigated." Director Yang's tone was firm and unquestionable.

Deputy Director Wang's heart sank. He didn't expect Director Yang to reject his proposal. However, he did not give up and continued, "Director Yang, I am also thinking about the interests of the factory. Although Li Weidong has achieved some results since he took over the management of the motorcycle workshop, there are also many problems. The loss of the engine this time is a good example. If we don't rectify it in time, there may be bigger problems in the future." Deputy Director Wang's words were full of incitement.

Director Yang was silent for a moment, then said: "Deputy Director Wang, I understand your concerns. However, we cannot deny Li Weidong's work because of an accident. His performance in the motorcycle workshop is obvious to all. We should give him a chance to let him solve this problem himself." Director Yang's eyes revealed his trust and support for Li Weidong.

Deputy Director Wang saw Director Yang's firm attitude and knew that it was meaningless to insist on it. He cursed Director Yang's stubbornness in his heart, but showed a respectful expression on his face. "Since Director Yang has decided so, I will follow your arrangement. I believe Li Weidong will be able to handle this matter well." Deputy Director Wang's words were full of hypocrisy.

But he was not worried. If something as important as the engine was lost, the thief must have been well prepared. Li Weidong would have no chance of finding the engine!

If he takes action at that time, even Director Yang won’t be able to stop him.

On the other side, Li Weidong and Section Chief Li led everyone to search the workshop carefully with serious expressions. They did not miss any corner, and scanned every place where the engine might be hidden with a sharp eye. However, after a busy time, they found nothing. Li Weidong frowned, and his worry became stronger.

Just when everyone was confused, a worker suddenly ran over to report. "Director Li, I saw worker Wang Zhengshan appear in the workshop after get off work." The worker's tone was a little uncertain, but his eyes were firm.

Li Weidong and Section Chief Li looked at each other with a hint of doubt in their eyes. "Are you sure it was Wang Zhengshan you saw? What was he doing in the workshop?" Li Weidong asked quickly.

The worker thought for a moment and said, "I'm sure it was him. I was also very surprised at the time why he was still in the workshop after get off work. I called him and he seemed very flustered. He just said something casually and left in a hurry."

Li Weidong frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart. "Chief Li, it seems that Wang Zhengshan is a big suspect. We have to find him immediately and ask him clearly." Li Weidong said decisively.

Section Chief Li nodded and immediately arranged for the security officer to look for Wang Zhengshan.

Wang Zhengshan was taken to Li Weidong's office by the security officer. As soon as he entered the office, he showed an angry expression on his face.

His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger. "Why did you bring me here? What did I do wrong?" Wang Zhengshan asked loudly, his voice full of dissatisfaction and grievance.

Li Weidong looked at Wang Zhengshan with a serious expression. "Someone saw you in the workshop after get off work, and now the workshop has lost a defective engine. You must explain your behavior clearly." Li Weidong's tone was firm and unquestionable.

Wang Zhengshan's face changed slightly, but soon returned to his angry expression. "I was in the workshop after get off work because I left something there. What's wrong with me going back to look for it? You can't just doubt me." Wang Zhengshan's words were a little flustered, but he tried to hide it. Li Weidong narrowed his eyes slightly, he noticed Wang Zhengshan's abnormality. "You said you went back to look for something, did you find it? What did you look for?" Li Weidong continued to ask.

Wang Zhengshan was speechless for a moment, he stammered and couldn't say anything. "I... I was looking for a tool, but I didn't find it." Wang Zhengshan's answer seemed far-fetched.

Li Weidong's doubts grew even stronger, as he knew Wang Zhengshan must be hiding something.

At this time, Qin Jingru walked in and whispered in Li Weidong's ear: "Wang Zhengshan is a distant relative of Deputy Director Wang."

After these words were spoken, Li Weidong's face darkened.

When the motorcycle workshop was established, Li Weidong set rules strictly prohibiting the illegal recruitment of employees.

You have to know that in those days, it was very easy for the children of factory leaders to get a position as a worker in the workshop.

They just need to go through the relevant procedures through the Personnel Department.

But Li Weidong made the rules in the first place.

All workers who enter the motorcycle workshop must undergo an assessment, and only those who pass the assessment can become workers in the motorcycle workshop.

You have to know that the children of leaders generally come to the workshop to gild their resumes, and they don't have any abilities themselves. Therefore, since the implementation of this regulation, the motorcycle workshop has not recruited any children of leaders.

Qin Jingru explained: "Director Li. This person did come in through formal procedures. Although he is a distant relative of Deputy Director Wang, he still has some abilities."

Hearing this, Li Weidong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, if the workers in the motorcycle workshop cannot supervise the work carefully, the workshop will collapse sooner or later.

Li Weidong looked at Wang Zhengshan and continued, "Wang Zhengshan, I'll give you a chance now. If you tell me everything, I can give you a lighter sentence. But if you still don't say anything, once we find the engine, I will definitely send you to jail."

However, Wang Zhengshan was still angry and his eyes revealed stubbornness. "You are framing me! I didn't do anything, why do you want me to admit it?" Wang Zhengshan retorted loudly, his emotions were agitated, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Li Weidong frowned slightly, not surprised by Wang Zhengshan's reaction. He knew Wang Zhengshan would not admit it easily, but he would not give up easily either. "Wang Zhengshan, don't be stubborn. We already have a clue. You showed up in the workshop after get off work, which is very suspicious. And if you really didn't do anything, why don't you dare to tell the truth?" Li Weidong continued to put pressure on Wang Zhengshan, trying to break his psychological defenses.

Wang Zhengshan's face became even uglier, his eyes flickered, as if he was thinking about a countermeasure. "I just went back to look for something, you can't doubt me for that. I didn't take the engine, you are wrongly accusing a good person." Wang Zhengshan still insisted on his innocence, but his tone was no longer as tough as before.

Li Weidong looked at Wang Zhengshan and knew that he was lying. But without solid evidence, he could not easily draw a conclusion. "Okay, since you don't admit it, let's continue investigating. I will definitely find evidence that will leave you speechless." After Li Weidong finished speaking, he signaled the security officer to take Wang Zhengshan away.

After Wang Zhengshan was taken away, Section Chief Li sighed and said, "Director Li, we have searched all the places that can be searched, but we can't find the engine at all."

"Chief Li, why don't you go check with the security officers at the gate to see if they have found anything suspicious?"

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Section Chief Li was shocked.

You know, if the security officer in charge of guarding the gate is in collusion with Wang Zhengshan, then it would be very difficult to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"Don't worry, Director Li. I'll do it right away."

Section Chief Li came to the gate of the steel mill and found the security officers. He asked seriously, "Did you see a worker named Wang Zhengshan leave here? Or did you find anything suspicious?" Section Chief Li stared at the security officers, hoping to find some clues from their answers.

However, the security officers said they did not know Wang Zhengshan and did not find anything suspicious.

Section Chief Li asked the security officers one by one. When he asked a security officer named Zhang Tieniu, he found that there was something wrong with Zhang Tieniu's eyes.

Section Chief Li asked the security officers one by one, and each person's answer made him feel more and more depressed. When he asked a security officer named Zhang Tieniu, Section Chief Li keenly noticed something strange.

Zhang Tieniu stood there, his eyes flickering, as if he was deliberately avoiding the gaze of Section Chief Li. Section Chief Li's heart moved, he knew that this person might be problematic.

"Zhang Tieniu, look at me." Section Chief Li's voice was serious and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty. Zhang Tieniu trembled slightly, slowly raised his head, and a trace of panic was revealed in his eyes.

"Let me ask you, have you ever seen a worker named Wang Zhengshan going out from here? Or have you discovered anything suspicious?" Section Chief Li stared at Zhang Tieniu closely, not missing any slight change in expression on his face.

Zhang Tieniu's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. His eyes became more flustered, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Zhang Tieniu, you must know the seriousness of this matter. If you hide something, the consequences will be serious." Section Chief Li continued to put pressure on him, and his tone became more severe.

Zhang Tieniu's body trembled slightly, and he seemed to be struggling fiercely in his heart. After a while, he finally spoke, but his voice was trembling. "Chief Li, I...I did see Wang Zhengshan."
