Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

In June, the working group that Li Huaide mentioned finally showed up. Under the escort of the department leaders, Wang Shaosheng led all the factory cadres to welcome them at the factory gate.

There were four people in total, an old cadre in his fifties, a middle-aged man, and two young guys, together they formed a combination of old, middle-aged and young people.

The team leader is called Tan Wen, a veteran cadre in his fifties. The middle-aged man is called Liu Shitong, the deputy team leader, with sharp eyes. The two young men are Liu Zhongxuan and Zhao Chuanfu, who seem to get along well with each other.

Their nominal job was to be a propaganda team sent by the ministry, mainly to guide workers' thinking and publicize the importance of production and construction.

"Secretary Wang, I'm sorry to bother you this time. I hope you can support our work!" Tan Wen was very humble. He shook hands with everyone one by one and introduced the members of his team to everyone.

"Please rest assured, Team Leader Tan. Our entire textile factory will fully assist you in your work and resolutely implement the decisions of our superiors with actions." Wang Shaosheng was relieved to see that the visitor was not so difficult to deal with.

The most frightening thing is the people who come down, each of them with their noses in the air, directly going against you, and you can't object.

The group chatted and laughed as they came to the canteen reception room. Cheng Maochang rushed to arrange seats for them and said, "In order to welcome the arrival of several comrades at noon, I specially prepared some wine and food. If there is anything that does not suit your taste, please let me know and I will ask the chef to change it immediately!"

In fact, everyone knows that although they call themselves a propaganda team, in fact, the worst they have are the department’s eyes and ears. They might report on us behind our backs, so no one wants to offend them.

"Hmph, we are here to work, not to eat and drink!" Deputy team leader Liu Shitong snorted coldly.

The faces of everyone in the textile factory changed all of a sudden. This Tan Wen looked pretty good, but how come this Liu Shitong didn't understand the ways of the world at all? Could it be that the two of them had made an appointment to perform a double act?

"That's right. Seeing this table full of food and wine makes me feel sad! Look, this must cost at least dozens of dollars. You are sucking the blood of the workers! It seems that many of the cadres below are eating and drinking lavishly, and this is not groundless!" Liu Zhongxuan said with a lackey-like look.

"Hahaha, young comrade, you misunderstood. This is the normal hospitality. The meals we workers in the cafeteria get are similar to this. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see it!"

Cheng Maochang is worthy of being an old comrade. He has mastered the skill of cultivating his energy quite well. Even after being scolded, he still explained with a smile.

"What are you doing? How can you say that about your comrades? The textile factory is the largest factory in the capital. Its annual output is the sum of all other factories. It is also the only large factory in the capital that can complete the production tasks assigned by its superiors. Is it too much to eat these at noon? You are really surprised by the unusual things!" Seeing that everyone's faces changed color, Tan Wen quickly scolded.

This Liu Shitong was too violent and liked to exaggerate things, so he was a little worried when he came.

As expected, I offended a group of people right from the start, and it would be hard to do my job later. If I think about the content of this job, if I push myself too hard, my life might be in danger.

"Hahaha, Comrade Xiao Liu is also selfless and has good intentions." Seeing that the two sides were a little stiff, Wang Shaosheng could only come forward to act as a peacemaker.

The meal was very dull. No one urged us to drink and no one even told jokes. We ended up leaving on bad terms.

Over the next month, the four did not do anything else. Every day they either wandered around to learn about the production process of the textile factory, or chatted with the workers. Everyone in the factory breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their vigilance.

One day at noon, Li Guohua was chatting with Zhao Yunlong in the logistics department when Han Wenlong came in and threw his hat at him.

"Guohua, you said that Liu was crazy. We are just meeting the production plan, but he actually asked us to stop all the spinning workshops and convene a meeting with all the workers. This is ridiculous!"

Han Wenlong picked up Li Guohua's big teapot on the table and drank it all in one breath without any disgust.

"You, I've told you so many times, do what they ask you to do. As long as Jiao Zhiqiang and Jiang Changfu agree, you should stop. Why think so much?" Li Guohua picked up an enamel jar again, took a bottle of soda from the wooden box next to him and poured it for himself.

This wooden box is the simplest insulated box. Li Guohua put ice cubes in it and specifically used it to store iced soda.

"Aren't they just kidding? How are we going to complete this year's production?" Han Wenlong still didn't understand what Li Guohua meant and was worried about the production plan for the second half of the year.

"Wenlong, I've told you so many times, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. You'd better change your character!" The big movement was coming. Li Guohua didn't want his friend to get into trouble, so he never gave up on guiding him with words.

"I know. I just feel sad when I see them messing around. I feel sad that our achievements over the past few years are being wasted by them!" Han Wenlong said with a sigh.

He understood Li Guohua's situation, but he was unwilling to see his increasingly better textile factory being destroyed by others.

It's like having a stranger come to your house, rummaging through your drawers, using your pots and toilets, but you can't do anything about it. It's really uncomfortable.

"You, if you have nothing to do these days, just spend time with your wife. If you can't, just sleep at home. And don't tell your complaints to anyone else, not even your wife. Do you understand?" Li Guohua patted his shoulder lightly and said solemnly.

As someone who has been through it, I know a little bit about it. There are many cases of husbands exposing their wives, wives reporting their husbands' problems, and sons reporting their mothers.

"Guohua, is it that serious? As long as the secretary and the factory director step in, they will have to get out of the textile factory in disgrace." Han Wenlong still didn't quite understand, or he couldn't imagine what would happen next.

"If it's really that simple, why don't the secretary and the factory director organize it? Director Cheng is such a smart person, do you still see him in the factory now?

You, when you have nothing to do, come to my place and play chess with me and Yunlong. If you can't do it, I'll take you hunting. Leave the workshop matters to the deputy director. Or teach those advanced people and red flag bearers, and let them take the lead in imitating. "Li Guohua pointed to the Chinese chess on the side and said with a smile.

If the logistics department hadn't been in a critical position, he would have run back home long ago.

"Guohua, do you know something?" Han Wenlong looked at him with a calm face and felt that things were not so tense.

Li Guohua looked out the window, then looked at Zhao Yunlong and Han Wenlong in the room, and sighed, "The storm hasn't come yet, so we must be prepared for a long battle."
