Siheyuan, my new life

At this time, in the office of Xue Yingwu, the chairman of the labor union on the third floor, Xue Yongheng, the deputy factory director who had said he was going back to arrange for technicians to inspect the equipment, suddenly appeared here, and from the attitudes between the two, it was obvious that they had a very close relationship.

Now the two of them were sitting side by side on the sofa, their heads close together, talking in a friendly, low voice.

Xue Yongheng lowered his voice and said, "Brother, if I can help Secretary Chang solve some of the food supply problems now, will he say something good about taking over as the factory director?"

Xue Yingwu now no longer had the dignified look he had in the secretary's office before. Instead, he frowned and shook his head slightly: "If Chang Changzheng himself had not been reluctant to give up the position of director of the Red Star Steel Mill, the ministry would have probably issued a personnel appointment long ago. Moreover, due to Chang Changzheng's insistence on his own opinions, although several major leaders in the ministry finally agreed to his request, they actually had some bad opinions about him. Now in the eyes of the leaders, Chang Changzheng is a person who is attached to power and disregards the overall situation. Coupled with the comments made by Consultant Lin about him, I am afraid that if the major leaders of the ministry had not been concerned about the impact, they would have transferred him away from the Red Star Steel Mill long ago. After all, the major leaders of the steel mill have changed too much recently. First, Guo Sanhu and Song Jiefang were suspected of colluding with Lou Zhenhua inside and outside and stealing and selling the country's special steel, and were arrested one after another. Then Xiao Jianguo, who had just taken over, failed to put himself in the right position and failed to recognize the reality. He put himself in a very embarrassing situation. The ministry had to re-arrange Chang Changzheng to take over."

Glancing at Xue Yongheng who was listening to him attentively, Xue Yingwu continued with satisfaction: "No matter who is the secretary or director of the Red Star Steel Mill today, they should have a clear understanding that as long as Consultant Lin is still in the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Mill, they should adjust their mentality. No one can be compared with Consultant Lin in terms of administrative level or actual influence."

Xue Yongheng nodded seriously. He was lucky enough to attend Lin Yu's wedding ceremony and saw those big leaders in person, so he whispered, "Yes, with Consultant Lin's current influence, no matter who is the secretary or the director, they must always be alert and must not deviate in the slightest. Fortunately, Consultant Lin has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the steel mill, and even let go of the daily work of the Security Department and handed it over to Director Qin Ming and a few others. He just stayed at the Security Department training base."

Xue Yingwu smiled and said, "I have to admire Consultant Lin. He knows how to advance and retreat at such a young age, and he has a deep understanding of the word "willing to give up". Now that he has the training base and the action team in his hands, he has completely controlled the entire security department, not to mention that the secret laboratory in the training base is directly in his hands. Besides, at Consultant Lin's current age, it would be too conspicuous to serve as a deputy minister of a ministry. I guess he is just accumulating experience at the training base of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. As long as two years pass and Consultant Lin is in his thirties, the higher-ups will definitely make appropriate arrangements. Yongheng, although we are already five generations old, we can't write two Xue characters with one stroke. I'm old now, and I can only work for another three or two years at most before retiring. In the future, our Xue family will have to rely on you."

At this point, Xue Yingwu lowered his voice: "My old comrades and old leaders have already visited them privately, and they have also mentioned things about you. Now the department is preparing to select one of you and Liu Changhe to take over as the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Chang Changzheng proposed to serve as the director for another year, so the higher-ups regard this year as a probation period for the two of you. To be honest, if that consultant Lin can come forward to help, I believe the department will definitely give him this face. Unfortunately, the relationship between you two and Consultant Lin is quite average. Although Li Huaide has a closer relationship with Consultant Lin, his qualifications are a flaw. What's more important is that Li Huaide has always been working in logistics, and he is definitely a layman in the production technology of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. This basically cuts off his path to directly becoming the director, but Li Huaide's father-in-law is the deputy minister in charge of personnel work in the department, and he still has considerable say, so you should try your best to maintain a good relationship with Li Huaide in the future."

Xue Yongheng nodded seriously: "Brother, let's not say those polite words among our family. From now on, the affairs of my nephew and niece will be my business. As for Li Huaide, I will also try to deepen the relationship between the two sides."

After a slight hesitation, Xue Yongheng frowned and said, "It's just that Consultant Lin is really hard to get along with. He is indifferent to the several factory leaders at the steel mill. Except for Li Huaide who has a little personal relationship with him, the rest of us only maintain a superficial relationship. It seems that he is intentionally keeping a certain distance from us."

Xue Yingwu sighed, "It's no wonder that Consultant Lin is so smart. He is telling the leaders in the department that he has no interest in the affairs of the Red Star Steel Mill. You should know that after Consultant Lin took office at the Red Star Steel Mill, he arrested the former deputy directors Yang Weimin and Dong Dongliang, and even the former secretary Guo Sanhu and the former director Song Jiefang were dismissed and investigated. The successor Xiao Jianguo was transferred away, which is more or less related to Consultant Lin. Although these people have their own problems, there are still some old comrades who are quite dissatisfied with Consultant Lin behind his back."

Xue Yongheng said disdainfully: "Yang Weimin and Dong Dongliang, together with Guo Sanhu and Song Jiefang, are all suspected of colluding with Lou Zhenhua, the former boss of Lou's Steel Rolling Mill, to steal and sell special steel materials from the state. In fact, it is only a matter of time before they get into trouble. As the director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Consultant Lin is responsible for protecting state property. As for Xiao Jianguo, he has brought this upon himself. As an acting director, he does not want to properly sort out the work of the steel rolling mill, but has to put on airs with the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Jingcheng Municipal Bureau and the secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. I don't know what he is thinking. A director-level official is putting on airs with a director-level official. If his behavior falls into the ears of the leaders of the higher departments, will he suffer any consequences?"

Xue Yingwu also showed a hint of sarcasm and said, "I guess Xiao Jianguo has a problem with his mentality. It is said that you should always be alert to the past."
