Siheyuan, my new life

After hearing Chang Qingsong's words, Chang Changzheng remembered that he had indeed said similar words, but at that time he told Chang Qingsong not to comment on the affairs of the Security Department as casually as he had before, and not to talk about Consultant Lin behind his back. Unfortunately, Chang Qingsong was so stupid that he had no political sensitivity at all. Obviously, he was not a suitable candidate for the correspondent. This time, because Chang Qingsong knew about the matter but did not report it, he fell into an extremely passive situation. Not only did he lose his prestige in front of the leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, but it was more likely that his superiors would have a bad impression of him.

Now Chang Changzheng has no time to deal with the idiot in front of him. He has to find ways to solve his current predicament, that is, he must get a large amount of food and meat as soon as possible, and immediately organize workers in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to work overtime for production, so as to complete the tasks assigned by the superior department as soon as possible; as for Li Huaide, after this incident, he has probably offended most of them, and it is definitely unrealistic to ask him for help. It would be a blessing if this guy doesn't hold him back.

After sending Chang Qingsong out, Chang Changzheng reluctantly picked up the phone on his desk. Now he could only bite the bullet and ask his old leader for help.

In an office on the fourth floor not far from Chang Changzheng's office, Li Huaide and Liu Changhe sat side by side on the sofa, smoking and talking in low voices.

Liu Changhe flicked the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and whispered, "Old Li, I'm sure you should have known that the higher-ups attach great importance to this production increase task. It seems that it is imperative for the workers in our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to work overtime. You still have to make preparations in advance. After all, you absolutely cannot let the workers work overtime on an empty stomach, right?"

Li Huaide sneered and said, "Old Liu, what we can think of, won't the higher-ups consider it in advance? In order to ensure the smooth operation of the factories below, the department has prepared a batch of food and meat. Although the quantity is not too much, it can always solve the urgent problem. The specific distribution plan is still under discussion. In other words, the crying child gets the milk at this time. But our Secretary Chang just wants to show off in front of the leaders. Others are crying poor to the leaders and trying every means to ask for food and meat supply quotas, but Secretary Chang pretends to be noble and upright. Isn't he setting his sights on the Security Department? Now I guess Secretary Chang is scratching his head and thinking about how to explain to the leaders."

Liu Changhe sighed softly, "Old Li, since the steel mill will have to work overtime for some time to come, you should go ask Consultant Lin for help. Otherwise, if the workers run into safety problems because they work overtime on an empty stomach, neither you nor I will be able to escape responsibility, especially since you are the deputy director in charge of logistics supply."

Li Huaide smiled bitterly and said, "Old Liu, do you know how many eyes are staring at Consultant Lin? There is a shortage of food and meat everywhere. It is almost an open secret within a certain range that Consultant Lin has food. If Consultant Lin had not immediately stopped the supply to the city, I am afraid that even 100,000 tons of food would not be enough. Now, even if I go to ask my father-in-law for help, I will not ask Consultant Lin for help. Once Consultant Lin provides food and meat to the steel mill, you can imagine that many people will immediately find Consultant Lin through various connections."

Liu Changhe could certainly understand all of this, but when he thought of the predicament that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would soon face, he couldn't help but swear, and then said angrily: "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. Anyway, there will be someone taller to hold up the sky if it falls. Since Secretary Chang is still the factory director, let him solve these troubles himself. I'm going back now." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of Li Huaide's office.

After seeing Liu Changhe off, Li Huaide closed the office door casually with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Just after Chang Changzheng had finished a meeting in the ministry and was on his way back to the Red Star Steel Mill, Li Huaide received a call from his father-in-law, asking Li Huaide if there was any hope of obtaining food supplies from Lin Yu. After learning that the Security Department would stop providing food and meat to the city at the end of June, Li Huaide reported to his father-in-law immediately.

Therefore, when he heard his father-in-law's question on the phone today, although Li Huaide felt secretly strange in his heart, he still gave an answer.

Although Li Huaide is the person closest to Lin Yu among the leadership team members of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he is clearly aware that he does not have a very deep friendship with Lin Yu.

When the leadership team headed by the former Red Star Steel Mill Secretary Guo Sanhu and Director Song Jiefang deliberately ignored and excluded the newly appointed young Deputy Secretary and Deputy Director of the Dongcheng District Bureau and Director of the Security Department, Li Huaide, who was then the Director of the Logistics Department of the Red Star Steel Mill, took the initiative to ask Lin Yu whether he needed to arrange and solve the housing problem only out of duty. That was when they had some interactions.

When Lin Yu was arresting Lou Zhenhua, the former director of Red Star Steel Mill, and Yang Weimin and Dong Dongliang, the former deputy directors who were suspected of colluding with internal and external parties to steal and sell special steel materials from the state, he specifically revealed to me the news that there would be a major change in the leadership team of Red Star Steel Mill, so that I could contact my father-in-law one step ahead, report and make arrangements in time. Afterwards, I was lucky to be appointed as the deputy director of logistics of Red Star Steel Mill. You must know that according to my father-in-law's plan, Li Huaide would have to train as the director of the logistics department for at least two or three years before he would be qualified to be promoted to deputy director. But by then, even if he had enough qualifications, he would have to find ways to be transferred to other units if there was no vacancy. But instead of going to a new unit, it would be better to get promoted within the Red Star Steel Mill.

This alone is already considered a big favor. Li Huaide does not think that he is a good person, but gratitude is still his minimum bottom line. Therefore, from then on, he tried his best to maintain his relationship with Lin Yu, always thinking about having a chance to repay him. However, not only did he fail to help Lin Yu, but he owed more and more favors. However, Li Huaide kept it firmly in his heart.

After hearing his father-in-law's question today, Li Huaide certainly would not make things difficult for Lin Yu. He had mentioned before that he had contacted the other party and wanted to get some food and meat to make up for the supply gap of the steel mill, but the time he went was not right because Lin Yu had just completed the supply of food and meat with the city.
