Siheyuan, my new life

Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's stupid act of having a baby with a half-closed door, He Daqing's mood suddenly became a lot more relaxed. Since Yi Zhonghai didn't have any good ideas, he simply stopped thinking about this annoying thing. Adhering to the idea of ​​drinking while the wine is here, He Daqing raised his glass frequently, so the half bottle of Erguotou on the eight-immortals table was quickly finished. He got up again, took out a bottle of Erguotou from the cupboard, opened the bottle cap and continued to pour wine for the two of them.

He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai continued to drink while chatting about what happened recently in the steel mill.

Normally, He Daqing could drink up to two kilograms of liquor, and Yi Zhonghai, who was from the Northeast, could drink quite a bit, so the little bit of liquor on the Eight Immortals Table was nothing to both of them. However, He Daqing had already drunk more than half a kilogram of Erguotou before Yi Zhonghai came in, and he was more or less a little tipsy at this time, and he started to show off unconsciously.

He Daqing lit a cigarette and said with a thick tongue: "Zhonghai, there are some things in the workshop that you definitely don't know. Let me tell you what just happened this morning." Then He Daqing recounted in detail what happened in the secretary's office in the factory office building after the factory-wide meeting today.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai said in disbelief: "This can't be true, right? There were only four factory leaders present at the secretary's office. How could you know so much about it?"

He Daqing took a puff of his cigarette with pride and said with a smile: "For this matter to be spread, of course one of the four factory leaders did it on purpose."

Yi Zhonghai asked in confusion: "Since it was said that one of the four factory leaders spread the news, it certainly couldn't be the newly appointed secretary, it could only be one of the three factory directors, so why did he spread the news? It's not a good thing anyway."

He Daqing smiled proudly and said: "After I heard what our director said, I immediately guessed who spread the news. It was most likely Li Huaide, the former director of the logistics department and now the deputy director of the factory. And I also thought of the purpose of his doing this on purpose."

Yi Zhonghai saw that He Daqing was keeping the secret again, so he urged him, "Stop wasting time and tell me quickly."

He Daqing drank a glass of wine before continuing: "I think Deputy Director Li Huaide deliberately wanted to let Director Lin Yu of the Security Department know about this."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's confused expression, He Daqing was extremely proud. He continued, "Although the new secretary and director of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill have arrived, the person with the most power is not them, but Director Lin Yu of the Security Department."

Yi Zhonghai asked in confusion: "Didn't the leaders of the Ministry of Industry announce the new secretary and director of our Red Star Steel Mill at the factory-wide meeting this morning? Since Secretary Xiao has officially taken office, according to the previous rules, isn't he the head of the steel mill? How could it be that the director of the Security Department has the most actual power? Daqing, have you drunk too much?"

He Daqing sneered disdainfully: "There are many things in the officialdom that you don't understand. I guess you didn't pay attention when the leaders of the Ministry of Industry announced it. Let me remind you that the leaders announced that Xiao Jianguo was the acting secretary and Liu Changhe was the acting factory director. Before the word "acting" was removed, their administrative levels were the same as before, both were at the level of a director, and the administrative level of the director of the Security Department, Lin Yu, was at the level of a deputy bureau, so strictly speaking, those two were at least one or two levels lower than Director Lin. In addition, don't forget that Director Lin just arrested Deputy Factory Director Yang and Deputy Factory Director Dong two days ago, and even the previous Secretary Guo and Factory Director Song were implicated and arrested. Doesn't this prove how powerful Director Lin is? I just can't figure it out. Secretary Xiao hasn't even sat firmly on the seat yet, but he's already putting on airs. No wonder Deputy Factory Director Li flipped the table on the spot."

Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, and then asked in confusion: "Deputy Director Li openly contradicted Secretary Xiao, isn't he worried that Secretary Xiao will make things difficult for him in the future?"

He Daqing laughed loudly: "Even if Secretary Xiao removed the word "agent", he would not dare to openly make things difficult for Deputy Director Li. Let me tell you, the Deputy Minister of Industry Gao sitting on the rostrum today is Li Huaide's father-in-law."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized what was going on. He raised his glass to gesture, then drank it all in one gulp.

At this time, in a two-story building in the Ministry of Industry’s family quarters, the two people mentioned by He Daqing were sitting in the study, talking in low voices.

After get off work today, Li Huaide came to his father-in-law's house. His wife, who had arrived early, was sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting with his mother-in-law. Li Huaide's brother-in-law and his family are all in the army, so there are only his father-in-law and his wife at home.

After the family finished dinner, Li Huaide followed his father-in-law upstairs. After entering the study, Li Huaide skillfully brewed tea. After finishing his work, he sat down at the desk, lit a cigarette, and whispered to him everything that had happened in the secretary's office that morning.

After listening to this, Deputy Minister Gao frowned and said, "When Xiao Jianguo was the deputy director of the First Steel Rolling Mill, he was said to be mature and steady. I didn't expect him to be so impatient to establish his authority right after taking office. However, this is too hasty. On his first day at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he didn't even have a detailed understanding of the situation in the factory, but he was in a hurry to hold an office meeting. Obviously, there is something wrong with his mentality."

Li Huaide agreed with his father-in-law's analysis. He poured tea for the two and said with a smile: "The acting secretary Xiao looked mature and steady in front of you and the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, but his face changed immediately when he returned to the secretary's office. He looked arrogant and domineering. I thought today that he would be the top leader in the future and I had to give him face, so when he asked me to call Director Lin to come to the meeting, I did not refuse. But I never expected that after this guy learned that Director Lin had gone out for something, he directly accused Director Lin of being disrespectful to the leader, saying that Director Lin did not ask for leave for the factory leaders, which meant he did not respect the leaders. If I don't stand up at this time, what will Director Lin think of me if he hears about it in the future?"

Deputy Minister Gao nodded approvingly and said, "You have done a good job. It seems that Comrade Xiao Jianguo has gotten a little carried away. I will discuss this with the Minister tomorrow. Let's see first. If it doesn't work, we will have to make new arrangements. Fortunately, he is only an acting secretary now. It seems that this comrade will need more training in the future, otherwise he will be useless."

Li Huaide couldn't help but feel secretly happy. With his father-in-law's comment of "not being able to do anything useful", it seemed that Xiao Jianguo would not be able to get a permanent job, but would definitely have to retire in a less busy department in the future.
