The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 496: We may have found a flaw!
Rolling Mill Security Section.

Li Ming was idle in the office, making a pot of tea and reading the newspaper.

Because we often have to wait for instructions from above, there are cases where articles are temporarily changed.

Nowadays, it is not always possible to receive newspapers such as RM Daily in the morning. Sometimes, the newspaper of the day is delivered only in the afternoon.

'Gan Province has seen a large-scale increase in early and mid-season rice production. '

'It has not rained in Henan Province for two months, and the majority of cadres and members of the community have made preparations for drought-resistant wheat planting. '

'Baoting County, Guangdong Province has changed its customs and tapped into the potential to increase yields to achieve a bumper harvest of early rice. '

Old customs such as men not planting rice seedlings and women not plowing the fields have been abolished, and various taboo days on not being allowed to go to the fields have been abolished. Some "weird mountains" and "leprous mountains" that were traditionally considered uncultivated have now been reclaimed and planted with crops.

Establishing new customs and habits is really not something you can just think of.

It is not appropriate to go to the fields to remove insects today, it is not appropriate to fertilize tomorrow, and it is not appropriate the day after tomorrow.

This is not appropriate and that is not appropriate. How can we increase food production if we do this?

How can we feed the growing population without increasing food production?

Ring ring ring ring ring.

Zhou Xiaobai's call came in.

The two cared about each other for a few words, and Li Ming warned: "Xiaobai, if Luo Yun is going to another place, don't go with her."

Zhou Xiaobai said obediently: "I understand. My dad won't let me go to other places either."

"Luo Yun said that it seems like your tabloid can't be run. She's going to go to Shanghai for a while, and then go to Kuihan. Where to go after that, she hasn't planned yet."

It not only encourages people from other places to come to the capital, but also encourages people from the capital to travel to various parts of the country.

In many places, small groups with different opinions were originally very peaceful, but some of the practices brought by these people in the past in the capital have turned into violence.

This sums up what these people do.

In the TV series "Liu Laogen 3", Liu Laogen said, "If you don't have the ability, just say you don't have the ability and blame the environment. Why is it that wherever you go, the environment is not good? You are the one who destroys the environment!"

He is really a person who destroys the small environment. Wherever he goes, there will be trouble.

"Let her do whatever she wants. The streets have been relatively peaceful in recent days. When are you free? I'll take you to the suburbs."

Li Ming wanted to transport some straw back to the factory for a business trip, and it just so happened that the two things could be done together.

Zhou Xiaobai thoughtfully suggested: "You are very tired from working every day. Let's just take a walk in the park in the city."

"You can't even go to the park. The park is now full of out-of-towners. We have to put up straw huts in the open spaces in the city for those out-of-towners to stay."

"That's it. I also heard from my classmates that all the classrooms in our school have been converted into dormitories."

Li Ming smiled and said: "There is no good place in the city now, so I can only go for a walk outside the city."

Staying at home every day, Zhou Xiaobai occasionally wants to go out for a walk, "That's only if you have time."

"Everything in the factory has been sorted out, and I now have time every day. Before I answered your call, I was drinking tea and reading the newspaper."

"I want to see if my dad and mom are free. I'll call you tomorrow."

Li Ming chuckled and said, "I hope my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not free. I haven't kissed your little cherry mouth for a long time. I really miss you."

It was a public phone. The little girl was afraid that the shopkeeper would hear her dirty talk, so Zhou Xiaobai hurriedly said: "I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to hang up."

"I wait for your news."

"I know. Remember to pick up the letter I wrote to you."

"I'm looking forward to it!"

The little girl was smart enough to know that she couldn't call him from the same public phone every time.

Li Ming hung up the phone and felt something was wrong.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.He may have found a loophole!
People at this time generally wrote letters.

The way he investigated was Kuangzhi, not to mention other relatives and friends. Logically speaking, he should be in constant contact with his brother in Jincheng.

Ordinary people are unlikely to use telegraphs to communicate between Beijing and Tianjin, and long-distance calls are not cheap and require queuing.

At this time, most of the communication between relatives was through letters.

During this period of time, Li Ming visited Kuang Zhidao's home almost every day. He even took a detour at noon today, but he never found envelopes or stamps.

Ten envelopes cost a dime, and young people like Kuang Zhidao are unlikely to spend a cent each time to buy one individually.

Buying one every time is not only a bit embarrassing, but queuing is a very annoying thing.

The brothers haven’t contacted each other for a month?It's possible, but at least it's a new direction.

Although he has been here for more than a year, Li Ming has not developed the habit of writing letters, and he has always neglected it before.

After thinking for a long time, he discovered this anomaly. In addition to learning a lesson, he also needed to take action to verify it.

He has been asked several times by Deputy Director Nie, and the lack of progress has damaged his image of being wise and powerful.

Li Ming picked up the phone and called the Purchasing Department No. [-], "Chief Chen? I'm Li Ming."

"Xiao Ming, have you already purchased straw curtains and straw mats?"

Section Chief Chen Guodong's hearty laughter came from the receiver.

"I haven't asked yet. It was something I asked them to help me with before. Please tell them to stop that matter first. I need to rearrange the arrangements here before taking action."

"Okay. I'll tell them."

Li Ming said with a bad smile: "Section Chief, ask them to complete the procurement tasks in the factory. If they fail to complete the tasks, I will transport two trucks of straw back and they can help weave straw mats."

On the other end of the phone, Section Chief Chen glanced at Qian Jin, who was on duty. "If you look carefully, you can still find some. I want to put some pressure on them."

"By the way, section chief, what did your old comrade say? Do you still need a wardrobe?" Li Ming asked proactively.

This is also the reason why he does not go directly to the Purchasing Section [-] office to discuss the matter. If he talks on the phone, if there is something difficult to talk about, the embarrassment between the two parties can be reduced.

"I was just looking for you too. He also thinks it's good to use old wood in some unimportant parts."

"That's okay. You can send his children to the Red Star Furniture Store on Xinzhong Street. Someone will receive them there."

"Don't have a specific address?"

"We have posted a lot of small advertisements before, and everyone in that area knows where the Red Star Furniture Store is."

"Ok."

"Make it clear to them that this is a special case and don't spread the word. The store only sells large wardrobes with a complete set of 36 or 72 legs."

"Don't worry, I will warn them."

After Li Ming hung up the phone, he shook his head and muttered to himself: "It takes favors to buy a big wardrobe! What the hell is this?"

Bang bang bang bang bang.

"Please come in!"

The newly appointed first team leader Fan Jiawen came in and asked, "Deputy Section Chief, are you going to the construction site this afternoon?"

"I'm not going. What's the matter?"

Fan Jiawen smiled and said: "Director Yu said that the inspection team is going to hold a meeting. I would like to ask if you are free to attend?"

"Did you tell me what the content is?"

"Director Yu didn't say anything. I asked the people in the office and it was a meeting to study the '16 Articles'."

There was also this meeting last Saturday, but Li Ming didn't go and wondered: "Didn't they hold it the day before yesterday? Why are they holding it again today?"

Fan Jiawen was fully prepared, "I asked them all. Last Saturday, they only learned the first 5 items, and today they will continue to learn 6-8 items. There are still 8 items after which I don't know when." "Then I don't have time to go. "

Such a meeting had already been held in the factory and the content was known, so he didn't bother to go.And there are probably some people who wish he wouldn't go.

Instead, Li Ming ordered: "I took a look when I came back just now. The slogans downstairs were a little faded. Please arrange for someone to repost them all."

Fan Jiawen responded: "Yes."

Rather than let others do such superficial things and let others shine, it is better for him to do it himself.

The security department may have the fewest number of meetings in the entire factory;
When shouting slogans, the Security Section of the Full Rolling Steel Plant was the most active. The walls of the Security Section's small building were decorated with colorful stickers, and the gate guard room was also covered with stickers.

I posted it all first, leaving no room for others to post it.

Li Ming secretly prepared to fish.

"And tell the people from the security department and the inspection team. I want to purchase seafood supplies for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day for the factory. If anyone has relatives or friends in Jincheng, let them contact Jincheng. , ask if there is any way."

Fan Jiawen answered: "I will go and talk about it when the inspection team has a meeting."

"Tell them not to worry. There are still 24 or 25 days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's still time to write and ask. You can tell them that I won't let their busy work go in vain."

Fan Jiawen smiled and said, "You don't tell me. They know it too. You never let people work in vain."

"Deputy Section Chief, the military training of our Security Section is over. Do we want to resume the shift schedule?"

Li Ming frowned and thought for a moment, "Following the morning principle, most people will be queued up until evening. The guards at the gate will remain unchanged, with one security officer leading two police officers."

"I'll do it right now."

"Hmm. Go."

After Fan Jiawen left, Li Ming continued to drink tea and read the newspaper.

Things must be done by your subordinates, so that they can make more contributions and gain seniority.

For example, the position vacated by First Captain Wang Tiezhi, several of his confidants did not have the merit or qualifications to convince the public. The position of Third Captain could only be granted to the First Branch Factory by Deputy Director Nie with a congratulatory letter.

The security department is too strong, and this may be because Deputy Director Nie wants to add some sand into it.

Perhaps because of Deputy Director Nie's advice, He Xin was well-behaved and sensible, and behaved submissively in front of Li Ming.

He was too lazy to care about it and couldn't care about it.

evening.

Li Ming got off work early and went to the small courtyard in the west of the city to say that he had something to do in the factory, so that Lou Xiaoe would not worry.

He rode his bicycle back to the gate of the steel rolling mill to wait, choosing the gate closer to the fourth workshop.

After get off work, the crowds are so crowded that others can't follow people, but he can.

Following Kuang Zhidao home all the way, Li Ming didn't see Kuang Zhidao buying envelopes or stamps, nor did he find anything unusual.

He is not in a hurry. If there are any problems, the results will be available in two or three days.

After returning to the steel rolling mill and changing into a pickup truck, he drove back to the small courtyard in the west of the city, where dinner had already been finished.

In the main room.

Lou Xiao'e asked with concern: "Are you really not going to eat? The food is still being heated in the pot."

Li Ming hugged the little beauty and said, "I'm not hungry. I'll just eat some fruit."

"That's up to you. I called Captain Gao from Xiangyanghua in the afternoon. He will collect the eggs tomorrow morning, and you can just go and transport them back to the factory."

The atmosphere was no longer so depressing, and Li Ming also wanted to take her out for a walk, "Would you like to go for a walk too?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her head and asked, "Will it delay your work?"

"Unless I have a meeting in the morning, my work is busy in the afternoon. I may not have time to come back for dinner tomorrow or the day after."

"Then I'll go too. In a few days, they will start the autumn harvest in the countryside, and they will be very busy."

Li Ming praised: "Not bad. I even know the autumn harvest time so clearly. I didn't go to the countryside for so long in vain."

Lou Xiao'e smiled proudly and said: "I am also learning."

"Yeah, yeah, I was disliked when I was harvesting wheat, so I had to go to the threshing field and work as a hand."

"You can't do it without exposing my shortcomings!" Lou Xiao'e said as she tried to pinch him.

The thick skin didn't hurt, so Li Ming let her twist and pinch her, "During the busy farming season, people from the city will probably go to the countryside and cause trouble along the way. It's not appropriate for you two sisters to appear in the countryside at that time."

Lou Xiao'e gently rubbed him back, "I understand. I will tell my sister."

"Don't worry. I've made all the arrangements. When the maple leaves in Xiangshan turn red, I'll take you to see the scenery."

"Really! There's only one month left."

"Although Sundays are like nothing now, I don't have anything to do in the factory. If I want to skip work and go out for a walk, I can do it anytime."

"It would be bad if the leader caught me."

“I have so many part-time jobs that my boss doesn’t even know what I’m busy with.”

Lou Xiao'e thought that this was indeed the case, so she didn't persuade her.

Li Ming remembered and warned him: "When Uncle Fu comes back later, tell him that a relative of Chief Chen Guodong of the Purchasing Department will go to the furniture store to order a large wardrobe."

"Okay. Why don't you go to the scrap shop to recycle things later? Why don't you go to the furniture store to have a look?"

When something happens, he goes to pick up goods in the afternoon; otherwise, Li Ming always collects things from the scrap shop at night, and the small truck can just go around in a circle, which is very convenient.

The unused things were piled in the fields of Zuojiazhuang. Scarface and two brothers lived there to help him guard it.

"Some people deliberately wet the wood to increase its weight, and some have a smell. I take it to Zuojiazhuang for sorting first, and then take it to the furniture store after sorting it, so as not to disturb the neighbors."

Lou Xiao'e was a little depressed, "It's really hard to do something."

"Doing things! It's all like this, with thousands of things and all kinds of little troubles."

"When I heard you talking to me before, I thought I could just do it, but when I actually started doing it, I found out there were a lot of difficulties."

Lou Xiao'e spent a lot of time on the cannery, and it was related to dealing with the foreign trade department, which would affect her future visits to her parents in Hong Kong City.

In a sudden accident, the cannery could not even receive the fruit for operation.

This incident was a big blow to Lou Xiao'e.

In addition to safety considerations, Li Ming took the sisters back to live in the city for this reason.

"Haha, you haven't met those villains who make things difficult for others. For example, if I didn't have the signboard of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I would definitely encounter those who are checking on me on the road."

He raised Lou Xiao'e's chin with his fingers again, "There are still people who will try to take advantage of a beautiful woman like you."

Lou Xiao'e blinked and asked, "Aren't they afraid of being exposed?"

"They are driven by greed, obsessed with evil, and overwhelmed with joy. These idioms are used to describe them. It is impossible to think that there are no such people. It is a question of whether there are more or less."

"It seems that I can only help you manage your accounts from now on."

"That's not the case. You will have the opportunity in the future. Try to make your career bigger than your father's. When the time comes, my old father-in-law will be willing to be defeated."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Trust me, you can do it."

"Yeah!" Lou Xiao'e snuggled into the man's arms with peace of mind.
