Siheyuan, my new life

The atmosphere at the special brigade’s base near the Red Star Steel Mill was extremely tense.

There were more than a dozen cars parked in the originally spacious courtyard, including three black sedans.

The lights in the special brigade meeting room were on. Nearly twenty soldiers in military uniforms and with officer ranks on their shoulders sat around the conference table with complicated expressions. The leader, a lieutenant general in his sixties, pressed the cigarette in his hand heavily into the ashtray in front of him and said in a hoarse voice: "Now that everyone is here, Director Feng, please report the details to everyone present."

At this time, Director Feng had long lost the extraordinary demeanor he had this morning. He stood up with a pale face and said dryly: "Dear leaders, at about 8:30 this morning, I received an urgent notice forwarded by the Military Commission. Comrade Sun Shengnan, the captain of the third squadron of the Special Brigade, reported to the leaders of the Military Commission that the political commissar of the Special Brigade, Chu Jianguo, used the special funds for purchasing medicinal materials without authorization and illegally entrusted an unemployed person named Chen Xiaohu to purchase the medicinal materials needed for the preparation of Guben Peiyuan Decoction. After inspection by Comrade Lin Yu, the consultant of the Special Brigade, it was found that the quality of the medicinal materials purchased by Chen Xiaohu had serious problems and did not meet the most basic usage standards. Moreover, all the medicinal materials had rotted and deteriorated due to their high water content. Comrade Lin Yu In a rage, he handed over his special pass and left the special brigade’s base directly. Sun Shengnan had detained Chu Jianguo and Chen Xiaohu who were involved in the incident, waiting for their superiors to deal with them. The CMC leaders instructed me to go to the special brigade’s base to verify it in person, and assigned four Chinese medicine experts from the military hospital to go and check together. After I arrived at the special brigade’s base with the deputy commander of the Far East Army of a certain military and four military doctors, the four military doctors immediately conducted a detailed inspection. The results were basically consistent with what Comrade Sun Shengnan reported. All the medicinal materials had not been processed by nine steaming and nine drying. Most of them had only undergone preliminary rough processing. In addition, the four military doctors found that all the medicinal materials seemed to have been artificially sprayed with water to increase their weight. I immediately ordered Chu Jianguo and Chen Xiaohu were interrogated, and people were sent to seal up the pharmacy that provided medicinal materials to Chen Xiaohu, and the specific person in charge was interrogated. After the preliminary interrogation, Chu Jianguo confessed that it was because Chen Xiaohu's mother was his aunt. After learning that Chu Jianguo was the political commissar of the special brigade, he repeatedly asked Chu Jianguo to hand over the task of purchasing medicinal materials to Chen Xiaohu. As Comrade Lin Yu had not yet taken office, Chu Jianguo, in order not to delay the preparation work, took it upon himself to let Chen Xiaohu purchase the required medicinal materials. He specifically told Chen Xiaohu in advance to ensure the quality of the purchased medicinal materials. Since Chu Jianguo did not know how to identify medicinal materials, he was deceived by Chen Xiaohu. Chen Xiaohu confessed that he had partnered with three medicinal material stores to purchase inferior medicinal materials and gain weight by spraying water. By using a method of taking 178,500 yuan in cash from Chu Jianguo, he illegally made a profit of more than 165,000 yuan, of which Chen Xiaohu received 100,000 yuan, and the rest of the money was distributed among the three herbal medicine stores according to the amount of herbal medicine they purchased. In addition, Chen Xiaohu confessed that he gave Chu Jianguo an imported camera and an imported watch, totaling 2,138 yuan. While waiting for the result of the interrogation, I tried to persuade the deputy commander of the Far East Army of a certain military unit, hoping that he could come forward to talk to Comrade Lin Yu and let Lin Yu continue to prepare the Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate, but was rejected by Deputy Commander Fang. Dear leaders, my report is over. "After that, Director Feng looked down at the materials in his hand with a nervous mood.

The elder in the lead tapped the conference table with his fingers and said, "Everyone has heard it, please tell us your opinions."

Everyone present looked at each other, no one spoke. Are you kidding me? Chu Jianguo and Chen Xiaohu are so bold that they dare to tamper with the project that the military is paying close attention to. Isn't this just for money and not for life? No matter what background these two people have, they can't protect them.

Moreover, all the work concerning Guben Peiyuan Decoction was directly handed over to Director Feng of the General Logistics Department's Office by the old man in charge. Now that such a big problem has arisen, everyone is too busy hiding to take the initiative to speak up, so who would take the initiative to find trouble?

So the conference room fell into silence. The old man in the lead was also very troubled. He never thought that he had finally won the distribution rights of Guben Peiyuan Decoction and specially handed it over to his most trusted office director. However, Director Feng really failed his trust. When Director Feng proposed that Chu Jianguo, deputy director of the General Logistics Office, be the political commissar of the special brigade, he did not agree too much. After all, Chu Jianguo had been engaged in civilian work and had never been on the battlefield. He had no experience in military training and management, but he agreed for the sake of Chu Jianguo's father. But he never thought that Chu Jianguo was so bold that he violated discipline and handed over such a confidential matter as the procurement of medicinal materials to a non-military person without authorization, and also purchased inferior medicinal materials. With such a thing, Chu Jianguo was finished. It can be said that he brought it upon himself.

Now is not the only time to hold people accountable. All the troops below have been urging them to prepare the Guben Peiyuan Decoction. However, Lin Yu, who was able to prepare the medicine, has obviously given up the job. To be honest, if I were to encounter such a thing, I would not serve.

The old man glared at Director Feng who was lowering his head, and was very annoyed with him. He was only thinking about competing for the distribution rights of Guben Peiyuan Decoction, and did not even contact Lin Yu who was responsible for preparing the medicine. Obviously, Director Feng did not pay enough attention to Lin Yu. Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but regretted secretly that he should have met this talented comrade Lin Yu in person, and should not have handed such an important matter to Director Feng.

The old man glanced at a lieutenant general in his fifties who was sitting quietly smoking beside him, and said, "Comrade Xiang Qian, you are an experienced veteran of our General Logistics Department. What do you think we should do now? The troops below have been urging us to do this. Our General Logistics Department received this mission from the Military Commission. If we fail to complete it, I'm afraid the Military Commission will hold us accountable."

The corner of the mouth of the lieutenant general who was ordered by the old man twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart. It was your own people who caused the trouble, and now you want the entire General Logistics Department to take the blame. It's just a dream. So he said: "Comrade Chunguang, since it is a task assigned to the General Logistics Department by the Military Commission, how come I, the deputy minister of the General Logistics Department, have no knowledge of it?" He looked up at a thin lieutenant general sitting opposite and asked: "Deputy Minister Jiang, do you know about this matter?"

Deputy Minister Jiang shook his head and said, "I only learned about this after I arrived here. I don't understand why the Military Commission gave such an important task to the General Logistics Department, but Deputy Minister Xiang Qian and I were not notified. Since Comrade Chun Guang has directly handed the task over to Director Feng, please ask Director Feng to work hard to complete this task and don't let Comrade Chun Guang down."
