Siheyuan, my new life

Ignoring the collapsed courtyard gate, Lin Yu returned to the main house and made two phone calls in succession. First, he called Director Hu Dahai of the Dongcheng District Branch to inform him of the terrible incident that had occurred tonight. In particular, he repeated what Liu Haizhong and Director Tang of the Jiaodaokou Street Office had said, and asked him to report the matter to the leaders of the Dongcheng District Party Committee.

After listening to Lin Yu's call, Hu Dahai immediately started to curse. Strange things happen every year, but there are especially many this year. The Red Star Steel Mill really produces talents. This morning, the factory leaders gave Lin Yu, the newly appointed Executive Deputy Director of the Dongcheng District Branch and Director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Mill, a warning. In the evening, a level five forger from the Red Star Steel Mill led people to smash Lin Yu's door. In order to shield and protect the people who led the riot, the director of the Jiaodaokou Street Office dared to openly confuse right and wrong and distort the facts. Hu Dahai was really annoyed at this moment. He comforted Lin Yu for a few words and then put down the phone.

Hu Dahai did not report to the municipal bureau and district party committee leaders immediately. Instead, he lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. At this moment, an idea came to his mind: could he use this incident to expand the influence of the public security department?

You should know that after the liberation of Beijing, military control was implemented. All aspects of people's livelihood, public security, and industrial and commercial enterprises were managed by the Military Control Commission. After the end of military control, there was a certain overlap in the powers of many functional departments. For example, the public security department was responsible for social security, combating enemy spies, and arresting saboteurs, but the government's street offices also took care of these tasks. Because the people were very disgusted with the pseudo-police before liberation, they would generally go to the street offices instead of reporting to the public security. Many times, the public security department was in an awkward situation.

Hu Dahai picked up the phone and called the home of Liao Guangan, director of the Personnel Department of the Municipal Bureau. After the call was connected, Hu Dahai quickly informed the other party of what happened tonight and also expressed his own thoughts. He knew that he was not the type to use his brain, so he simply asked Liao Guangan to help with advice.

Hu Dahai was not worried that Liao Guangan would not do his best to help and make suggestions, because expanding the authority and influence of the public security department would be a good thing with no harm to Liao Guangan, the director of the Personnel Department of the Municipal Bureau.

Sure enough, Liao Guangan did not disappoint Hu Dahai. After careful consideration, he whispered his opinions and suggestions to Hu Dahai. Both of them knew that time was tight tonight, so they didn't say much nonsense. After Liao Guangan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Hu Dahai did not hesitate at all. After the other party hung up the phone, he directly asked the switchboard to connect to the home of Director Wan of the Municipal Bureau.

After listening to Hu Dahai's report, Director Wan did not get angry as usual, but smiled and said: "The ancients said that every failure makes one wiser. Now you, Hu Dahai, know how to use your brain. That's good and worthy of praise. I hope you can keep up the good work in the future."

Hu Dahai laughed dryly and said, "Director, I am just an illiterate man, and I am not very good at thinking. I dare not hide it from you. I just called Director Liao Guangan and told him my idea. I asked Lao Liao to help me with the advice."

Director Wan smiled and said, "That's right. Learning from each other's strengths is also a form of progress. Now, call the main leaders of the Dongcheng District Committee to report. I will also report to the department and the municipal party committee. This is an extremely bad incident and must be dealt with seriously. In addition, you must send someone to ensure the safety of Comrade Lin Yu. Don't let anything go wrong again."

After Director Wan hung up the phone, Hu Dahai couldn't help grinning. It was obvious that his idea was supported by Director Wan. However, Hu Dahai did not waste time and started making another call immediately.

In the main house of the west wing of the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, after Lin Yu finished his call with Hu Dahai, he called the home of Deputy Minister Zhao of the People's Armed Forces Department. After a few brief greetings, Lin Yu reported everything that happened tonight.

After hearing this, Deputy Minister Zhao was furious. The home of a deputy-department-level cadre who had retired from the army was openly smashed and looted. This behavior not only slapped Comrade Lin Yu personally in the face, but also seriously provoked the People's Armed Forces Department, which was responsible for the demobilization and resettlement of the troops.

Previously, Vice Minister Zhao had also received reports about military-to-civilian transfer personnel being treated unfairly, and he has ordered the relevant units to strictly rectify the situation.

As our army displayed its military prowess on the North Korean battlefield and repelled the United Nations forces led by the Bald Eagle, a wave of support and love for the army emerged across the country.

As one of the main leaders of the People's Armed Forces Department responsible for the resettlement of military personnel in Beijing, Deputy Minister Zhao also found that some units and places did not attach importance to the resettlement of military personnel. A deputy bureau-level leader like Lin Yu could order the police station to deal with such a matter directly, but what about ordinary demobilized soldiers? He never wanted to see those heroes who shed blood and sweat for the country and the people shed tears again.

Therefore, Vice Minister Zhao planned to use this incident as an example to propose to the higher authorities to strengthen the emphasis on the demobilization and resettlement of troops, while at the same time doing a good job in providing preferential treatment to the families of military martyrs.

Of course, Vice Minister Zhao also immediately reported to the Minister what happened tonight. After receiving the report, Minister Yan gritted his teeth. This Red Star Steel Mill really has a lot of problems. He directly called Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Industry. After the call was connected, he did not hesitate: "Minister Jiang, your Red Star Steel Mill of the Ministry of Industry is really an independent kingdom. The factory leaders dare to ignore their superiors and wantonly suppress the new comrades who have just arrived. The workers in the factory follow suit and dare to openly smash the home of a deputy department-level leading cadre. Minister Jiang, what is your Ministry of Industry planning to do?"

Minister Jiang on the other end of the phone suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly asked, "Minister Yan, what's going on?"

Minister Yan of the People's Armed Forces Department told the other party about the terrible incident that happened tonight. Minister Jiang had a headache after hearing it, but don't blame Minister Yan for his harsh words. Anyone would be angry if such an incredible thing happened. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He estimated that the accountability call from Director Wan of the Municipal Bureau would be coming soon. With Old Wan's hot temper, he hasn't called him yet. He must be reporting to his superiors. He estimated that he would receive many criticism calls from leaders tomorrow.

But it was indeed his subordinate unit of the Ministry of Industry that caused the trouble. As the head of the Ministry of Industry, it was only natural for him to be blamed by others. He could only smile bitterly and said, "Please rest assured, Minister Yan. I will personally deal with the matter of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill tomorrow morning."

Minister Yan snorted and said, "Minister Jiang, industrial development is important, but we must never relax the ideological education of our cadres and workers. I don't know the specific work arrangements of your Ministry of Industry, but a glimpse of the whole picture can tell us that your ideological education work is not in place from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. This matter has alarmed the Military Commission. You can handle it yourself." After that, he hung up the phone.

Hearing the sound of the call being hung up, Minister Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head. How many times has he been questioned today? It is conceivable that tomorrow, the Military Commission, the Ministry of Public Security, the Beijing Municipal Committee and other departments will definitely call for accountability one after another. When did he, the Minister of Industry, be scolded like a grandson?

The root of the matter was the Red Star Steel Mill. Thinking back to the office meeting held this afternoon, when I proposed to order Guo Sanhu and Song Jiefang of the Red Star Steel Mill to retire early, Deputy Ministers Xu and Gao opposed it for various reasons, while the other two deputy ministers turned a blind eye and directly abstained from voting.

Minister Jiang couldn't help but sneer on his face. With so many superior departments holding them accountable, Guo Sanhu and Song Jiefang were still daydreaming about retiring smoothly. It was estimated that the faces of Deputy Ministers Xu and Gao would be very interesting tomorrow. I just don't know if they will regret it. If his proposal is passed and the two are ordered to retire early, then it will be difficult to find these two people when the superiors hold them accountable tomorrow. In the end, the leadership of the Ministry of Industry will have to bear the blame. But now that these two people are still the main leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the blame can only be placed on them. Thinking about what Minister Yan said on the phone just now, Minister Jiang's expression became more severe.

Minister Yan was not exaggerating. He immediately reported the matter to the leader of the Military Commission who was in charge of the demobilization and resettlement of the troops, and also reported Deputy Minister Zhao's proposal to the leader.

Lin Yu didn't know that because of the terrible incident that happened tonight, many important people were busy and nervous.
