In the office of the director of the Security Department, Li Guohua, Liang Xingguo, and Wang Hao sat facing each other.

Since the Security Section was upgraded to the Security Department, the two men have also risen in status. One became the director, the same level as the city leaders, and the other became a section-level cadre.

"Guohua, you're crazy. Nothing happened to Xu Liguo. Is it necessary for you to be like this?" Liang Xingguo couldn't help scolding Li Guohua when he heard that he would not go home at night and planned to patrol for a few nights.

"Yes, Guohua, you can rest assured with our First Battalion patrolling at night!" Wang Hao said in agreement.

He is now the captain of the first battalion of the Security Department.

"Uncle Liang, I'm not crazy. It's just that we've expanded production recently. With the addition of new workers, I noticed a restless atmosphere in the factory. Everyone seems to have a bad temper. I'm worried something might happen at night!" Li Guohua explained.

I don't know what's going on recently, but there have been murders in several of our brother companies' factories. Some people killed accountants to rob them of money, while others accidentally killed people while stealing steel. The whole capital is in a panic.

"Well, that's true. There have been more and more fights in the factory recently. They often break out over a disagreement, and sometimes more than a dozen people get involved." Wang Hao has been dealing with more matters recently, and said a little worriedly.

"So I'm not simply worried about Xu Liguo's matter. I'm mainly worried that something might happen in the factory. Now the warehouse and logistics are in my hands. If something happens, it will be no small matter!" Li Guohua gave each of them a cigarette and expressed his thoughts.

He may be lazy, but when it comes to getting things done, he is more resolute and thorough than anyone else.

"Okay, but don't run around alone. Let Wang Hao send two people to you. Remember to carry a gun with you when you patrol at night." He agreed with Li Guohua's idea, but was still worried about his safety.

This young man has a criminal record in the factory.

"No need for people. I have people here too. Da Hu, Xiao Hu, Yun Long and Yun Hu will be with me. It should be fine!"

His relationship with Liang Xingguo is a bit special now. Sometimes it feels better than that with Wang Shaosheng and Zheng Aimin. It may be because there is no conflict of interest between the two sides.

"Hahaha, your one dragon and three tigers are pretty good. They have some abilities. Especially that Zhao Yunlong, who is a good candidate for a soldier. It would be best if he could go to a combat unit to gain some experience!" Liang Xingguo laughed when he heard Li Guohua mention the four people.

These four people are now militiamen in the factory. Zhao Yunlong is also a platoon leader. He receives training from Liang Xingguo every month. He knows these four funny guys very well.

But he was overthinking it. Zhao Yunlong had been led astray by Li Guohua and was only focused on pursuing progress, so he didn't want to join the army.

As night falls, the textile factory is still brightly lit, machines are roaring, and patrol officers and workers can be seen walking around everywhere.

Unlike later generations, production now goes on day and night, with three shifts a day, and never stops for 24 hours. Otherwise, there would not be the need for such a large team of security workers.

Li Guohua walked in front, checking the locks of each warehouse personally. Behind him were four people, all carrying rifles.

"Well, brother-in-law, there's nothing wrong with this!"

When Zhao Yunhu saw Li Guohua coming over, he stretched and seemed a little sleepy.

"Here, little brat. If you want a cigarette, just tell me." Li Guohua took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and threw it over.

Although Zhao Yunhu looks big and strong, he has a completely different personality from Zhao Yunlong.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Zhao Yunlong snatched the cigarette, knocked it quickly, and finally tore open the package and gave one to each person.

"They just want to steal my things!" Zhao Yunhu said with dissatisfaction on his face.

Seeing these two funny guys, Li Guohua also laughed. He had almost finished checking the logistics warehouse, so he decided to go to the factory area for a look.

When I arrived at the spinning workshop, I found that both sides of the road in front of the factory gate were full of people squatting, each holding a lunch box.

It is now past three in the morning, time for lunch for the night shift, and we can take a half-hour break in between.

However, not everyone was eating. Some were sitting with their arms on their knees and their heads buried between their arms and fell asleep, with the food and rice in their lunch boxes lying on the ground untouched.

The work of female textile workers is very hard. They work around the machines non-stop and walk dozens of miles in eight hours. After a shift, they are exhausted and have sore backs.

Especially when working the night shift, the sleepiness is beyond words.

So sometimes, eight hours is their limit, not the limit of working hours.

"Hey!"

Zhao Yunhu saw a female worker holding a lunch box with her eyes closed and her head nodding. It was about to fall to the ground, so he quickly grabbed it.

"Ah, thank you!" The female worker was awakened by Zhao Yunhu's shout and quickly took the lunch box to express her gratitude.

"It's okay. If you can't feel well, just eat quickly. You can still sleep for a while!" Zhao Yunhu scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

At that time, young men rarely played with young women. Most of them were shy. Zhao Yunhu was the shyest of them.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't get any response from the female worker. He looked down and saw her staring at Li Guohua blankly.

"Yu Shui, when did you enter the factory and why did you come to this spinning workshop?" It was dark that night and he recognized He Yu Shui by his voice.

"Wow, Brother Guohua!" He Yushui immediately felt wronged when she heard Li Guohua's caring words and grabbed his hand and burst into tears.

After quarreling with Sha Zhu, she moved into the factory dormitory.

Because there were no extra beds, she shared a bed with another little girl.

She works the night shift and sleeps during the day. That little girl works during the day and sleeps at night.

She had no money for food, so her master and the good sisters in a dormitory would give her some money every day. The hardships she went through are beyond the imagination of outsiders.

If this wasn't happening in public, she really wanted to throw herself into his arms and have a good cry.

"Come with me, Dahu, go to the workshop director and ask for some leave for your sister Yushui!" Li Guohua said to Zhou Dahu.

"Okay, Brother Guohua!" Zhou Dahu replied.

He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance so late at night, and he lived in the same courtyard.

However, there was still a small question in his little head. Why was the other party so familiar with Brother Guohua? It seemed like there was something going on between them.

Isn’t this a bit unfair to Sister Yunxia?

No, no, Zhao Yunlong and Zhao Yunhu are not worried, so there is no reason for me to worry about anything.

Besides, we are neighbors after all, so helping out is no big deal.

But you know what, although He Yushui is a little thin, she looks good and is a technical secondary school student. It would be a blessing for her if she could become Brother Guohua's concubine.

Yes, it’s good to be a concubine. It will make that big fool Shazhu so mad that he beat me before.

In just a few minutes, Zhou Dahu's mind was like a roller coaster, with countless thoughts flashing through his mind.
