Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

While He Yuzhu was concentrating on carefully checking every link in the steelmaking workshop and the machinery manufacturing plant, Director Yang was sitting in the office with a serious expression, reporting in detail with Secretary Gao about the important matters about Lide's upcoming visit to the Red Star Steel Plant. They knew that this inspection was of great significance to the factory and they had to be fully prepared.

After an in-depth discussion, the two finally reached a consensus: although this matter is extremely important, considering various factors, for the time being, they only need to convey the news of Li De's inspection to several deputy factory managers. After all, it seems inappropriate to completely conceal such an important matter, but at the same time, they must ensure that the news will not spread too much to avoid causing unnecessary confusion or disrupting normal production order.

After making up his mind, Secretary Gao reached out and picked up the telephone receiver on the table without hesitation, and said, "Put me in Li Huaide's office."

Soon, Li Huaide's familiar and respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, this is Li Huaide, who are you?"

Secretary Gao replied calmly, "Comrade Li Huaide, the situation is like this. I just received accurate information that Minister Wu of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry will come to our factory in person in two days to inspect and provide guidance. So during this period, I hope that your logistics department can take positive action, especially those responsible for cleaning work, and make sure to make the factory's environmental sanitation more meticulous and thoughtful within these two days. There may be some corners that are easily overlooked or not cleaned properly on weekdays, and this time they must be thoroughly cleaned, and no dead corners must be left."

"Please rest assured, Secretary Gao, I will make sure that there will be no blind spots left."

"That's good." Secretary Gao hung up the phone. The reason why he said that Minister Wu was coming to inspect was to find an excuse for the logistics department to clean up, but he couldn't say that it was Li De who came. So after Secretary Gao and Director Yang discussed it, they simply said that Minister Wu was coming to inspect. This would make the people below pay attention to it without attracting too much attention.

Two days later, the workers of the Red Star Steel Plant were working at their respective posts as usual. Only a few factory leaders who knew the news in advance were sitting in Secretary Gao's office nervously waiting for Li De's arrival.

At this time, several military vehicles suddenly arrived at the gate of the Red Star Steel Plant. The first military vehicle was an off-road vehicle produced by the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. After the off-road vehicle stopped at the gate of the factory, a colonel officer got out of the off-road vehicle. A group of soldiers with submachine guns got out of the military vehicle behind. The officer went directly to the guard room at the gate and asked, "Who is the person in charge here?"

Du Anbang quickly stood up and replied: "Hello, Chief. I am Du Anbang, the head of the security department of the Red Star Steel Plant."

"Hello, Chief Du, I am Li Huai, who is responsible for Li De's safety. The security of Red Star Steel City will be taken over by the people I bring with me. Before Li De leaves, the entire Red Star Steel Plant is not allowed to have any contact with the outside world." After saying that, Li Huai took out his ID from his pocket and handed it to Du Anbang.

Du Anbang carefully took Li Huai's ID and looked at it, then immediately said, "Resolutely follow the leader's orders." After that, he returned the ID to Li Huai.

"Okay, Chief Du, gather your people now and follow the instructions of the people I brought with me." After saying that, Li Huai walked out of the guard room.

After Li Huai's men completely controlled the strategic location of the Red Star Steel Plant, they arranged for someone to notify all the leaders of the Red Star Steel Plant. Outside the Red Star Steel Plant, a convoy slowly drove towards the Red Star Steel Plant. The convoy drove directly to the square in front of the Red Star Steel Plant's office building. Then Li De got out of a car in the middle. "Hello, comrades." Li De said, waving to greet the cadres of the Red Star Steel Plant standing around.

Then, the senior leaders of Red Star Steel Plant followed closely behind Li De, like the moon surrounded by stars, and accompanied Li De to inspect the huge Red Star Steel Plant. They walked through the spacious and bright factory, passed by rows of neatly arranged machines and equipment, and finally came to the steelmaking workshop.

After finishing the visit to the steelmaking workshop, Li De stopped, turned to face the people behind him, and said slowly: "As far as I know, there seems to be an affiliated machinery manufacturing plant under the Red Star Steel Plant. I heard that this factory can not only manufacture trucks but also off-road vehicles. I wonder if the person in charge of the factory is here today?" As he spoke, his eyes swept over the crowd in front of him.

Hearing this, the secretary beside Li De immediately reacted, stepped forward, and gave Li De a detailed introduction to the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant and its director He Yuzhu. At the same time, he pointed to the figure standing in the crowd - it was He Yuzhu himself.

Li De looked in the direction pointed by the secretary, and after seeing He Yuzhu, he smiled and waved to He Yuzhu. Seeing this, He Yuzhu did not dare to be negligent and walked up to him quickly. Li De said with a smile on his face: "Young comrade, I still remember you. I didn't expect that you have taken on such an important position in just over two years and achieved such good results in your position. You have to continue to work hard. When we get to the machinery manufacturing plant, you can explain it to me." After that, Li De shook hands with He Yuzhu very kindly, expressing his recognition and encouragement for him.

Then, He Yuzhu followed closely behind Li De and began to explain to him in detail and attentively the current production status of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant. During this process, when everyone was immersed in understanding and paying attention to the factory, He Yuzhu cleverly took advantage of this fleeting opportunity and quickly stuffed a small piece of paper that he had carefully prepared in advance into Li De's large palm without anyone noticing.

However, despite the sudden appearance of such an item in his hand, Li De did not show any strange expression. He calmly and calmly put the mysterious little note into his pocket as if nothing had happened, and then continued to carry out his in-depth inspection of the Red Star Machinery Manufacturing Plant as if nothing had happened.

After the entire inspection process was successfully completed, Li De moved to the specially set up meeting room of the Red Star Steel Plant to rest and adjust. Soon after he sat down, he took out the note that He Yuzhu had handed to him from his pocket and looked at it carefully. You don't know until you look at it. At first glance, Li De's face instantly became extremely ugly, as if he was shrouded by an invisible pressure. He frowned, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed an indescribable feeling of astonishment and anger.

Then, Li De stood up suddenly and said to the outside of the door: "Xiaotian! Go and ask Comrade He Yuzhu to come over immediately. I want to know something from him."

Secretary Tian hurried to find He Yuzhu according to Li De's instructions, "Deputy Director He, Li De wants to find you for something, please come with me."

After He Yuzhu followed Secretary Tian to the meeting room where Li De was, Li De said to Secretary Tian expressionlessly: "Secretary Tian, ​​please go out. I have something to talk to Comrade Xiao He about. I will call you after we finish talking."

Secretary Tian then turned around and walked out of the meeting room, gently closing the door. He Yuzhu looked at Li De who was smoking a cigarette with trepidation. He knew that Li De called him here because he must have seen the contents of the note he wrote. The next step was to wait for the result.

After Li De finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, he said to He Yuzhu: "Comrade Xiao He, is what you just said on the note you stuffed into my hand true?"

"Li De, I swear to you with my life that what I said is true. I used to be a cook. Although I have never farmed, I have come into contact with many farmers who do. Even in a good year with good weather and good harvests, an acre of land can only produce 400 to 500 kilograms of grain at most. It is simply impossible for an acre of land to produce thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms as written in the newspaper."

"But it was reported in the newspaper, and many leaders went to see it. It can't be fake, right?" Li De said, still holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

"If you transplant all the crops from ten acres of land to just one acre of land, wouldn't the yield easily exceed several thousand kilograms? If you have any doubts about this, you can send personnel to quietly go to the examination halls in various places to check on the spot. By then, you will naturally understand the real situation."

"So why did they take such action?"

"Because the people above like to hear it. As the ancients said: The King of Chu likes thin waists, and many people in the palace starved to death. If the superior likes something, the subordinates will also like it even more."

"Then why didn't anyone dare to question it? There are so many people in the country, it's impossible to deceive everyone."

"The reason is simple. There were people who were criticized and fought for being conservative. Therefore, once someone starts to exaggerate the facts and make false propaganda, others will not dare to raise doubts easily, for fear that they will also be labeled as 'conservatives'. What's more, after seeing the first person who made exaggerated propaganda become a model, the subsequent people will follow suit."

"Thank you, Comrade Xiao He, for sharing such crucial news with me today. Now, you can go back first, but remember not to tell anyone else about the content of our conversation. By the way, if your leader asks you about our conversation, just say that I am very satisfied with your factory's achievements and hope that you will continue to work hard and strive for better results." After He Yuzhu stepped out of the meeting room, Li De immediately turned to Secretary Tian beside him and gave an order: terminate today's inspection work immediately. In this way, Li De did not meet with the leaders of the Red Star Steel Plant, but left the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant directly.
