Siheyuan, my new life

In the secretary's office of the Red Star Steel Mill, Chang Changzheng put down the phone and finally let out a sigh of relief. After much thought, he finally made a phone call to an old leader for help. Although this old leader ranked relatively low in the department, it was because of his strong recommendation that Chang Changzheng was able to take up the position of secretary and director of the Red Star Steel Mill.

After listening to Chang Changzheng's call for help, the old leader repeatedly reminded him that the department had of course taken into account the actual conditions of the factories below in advance. The small shortage of food and meat might be solved by the factories themselves, but this time almost all the factories had increased their tasks by about 30%. If they wanted to complete the tasks smoothly, they had to mobilize the workers in the factories to work overtime. However, it was impossible to let the workers work overtime on an empty stomach. Therefore, a large amount of food and meat needed to be provided. This number was almost twice the normal supply quota. Given the current actual situation, it was estimated that it would be difficult for the factories to solve the problem.

Under the coordination of the State Council, the ministry has already raised the required food. However, according to the instructions of the State Council, future steel production is a long-term task, and it cannot be completed by simply relying on factories working overtime. If this continues, the bodies of the majority of workers may not be able to bear it. It coincides with the military's preparation for the fifth disarmament. This disarmament will result in the demobilization of more than 500,000 cadres and soldiers. These cadres and soldiers will be directly arranged to work and serve in various factories. This will not only solve the problem of the resettlement of demobilized soldiers, but also solve the problem of labor shortage in various factories.

According to the old leader, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill needs to accommodate 2,000 to 3,000 retired and transferred soldiers. Although these personnel will not arrive until September, Chang Changzheng is still required to make preliminary preparations in advance.

After finishing the call with his old leader, Chang Changzheng picked up the Peony cigarette on the desk, lit it and took a deep puff. The old leader had just reminded him implicitly that it would be better for him to resign from the concurrent position of factory director as soon as possible.

The main reason why Chang Changzheng did not want to give up his concurrent position as factory director was self-evident. He wanted to completely consolidate his influence in the Red Star Steel Mill during this period of time. However, things are now going against his wishes. Chang Changzheng has realized that after today's events, his prestige among several factory leaders is already in jeopardy.

Chang Changzheng was really unwilling to give up. Before taking office at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, he was so ambitious. After being a daughter-in-law for many years, he finally became a mother-in-law. He no longer had to act according to other people's wishes. He could also hold power and give orders.

Unfortunately, after taking office, Chang Changzheng clearly discovered that at the Red Star Steel Mill, it was not the secretary and the director who were the top leaders, but Lin Yu, who had been staying at the Security Department's training base, was the top leader in the minds of the Red Star Steel Mill leaders.

Although Lin Yu had never taken the initiative to interfere in the specific affairs of the steel mill, Chang Changzheng always felt constrained since taking office, and he had never experienced the feeling of having the final say.

But Chang Changzheng was also very clear that not only himself, but even the old leader was not capable of competing with Lin Yu. The other party's background and strength were so terrifying that even Chang Changzheng felt suffocated, especially when he witnessed the guests attending Lin Yu's wedding.

Although he learned from his old leader that the problem that had been bothering him had been solved, Chang Changzheng was still somewhat unwilling. The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill recruited two to three thousand workers this time, but the leadership did not leave a single vacancy for the factory, as all of them were used to accommodate retired soldiers.

You should know that according to unwritten convention, every time factories recruit workers on a large scale, they will more or less reserve some vacancies for the factory leaders.

Although the salary of a regular employee at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is now more than 500 or 600 yuan outside, for leading cadres of their status like Chang Changzheng, basically no one would sell it for money. Most of it is used to handle various relationships and to win over supporters under their command.

However, with such a large number of workers being recruited this time, the leaders of the factories did not even have the opportunity to intervene. It is estimated that in the future many people will be as depressed as Chang Changzheng.

In fact, what Chang Changzheng didn’t know was that this military downsizing was still closely related to Lin Yu.

Since the beginning of this spring, various troops have received the "Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate" one after another. According to the usage instructions provided by the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Security Department Training Base, after one or two months of hard training, various special teams and squadrons have begun to see initial results.

After witnessing the strength of the special forces with their own eyes, those battle-hardened military leaders submitted applications to their superiors, hoping to expand the size of the special forces.

Although the cost of training a special forces soldier is more than that of five or six ordinary soldiers, their current actual combat effectiveness is enough to exceed that of ten ordinary soldiers. Moreover, according to data, the strength of these special forces soldiers still has considerable room for improvement.

After careful study, the military intends to cut 400,000 to 500,000 ordinary soldiers, and will gradually increase the total number of special forces to 8,000 to 10,000 in various units in the future.

For this purpose, the main military leaders and my husband found Lin Yu and proposed this idea to him.

Lin Yu did not object to this. After all, the "Spirit Liquid" was just a low-level spiritual medicine. With the current stock in the Qinglian Palace warehouse, there would be no problem in training millions of special forces. However, with the country's current economic strength, it simply does not have the ability to bear such a huge consumption.

As for the fees that the gentleman wanted to pay, Lin Yu did not accept it. Instead of leaving a large amount of money in the Qinglian Palace warehouse to gather dust, it would be better to let the country use it for economic development. He only asked the country to provide other medicinal materials needed for the configuration of "Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate" in a timely manner while ensuring quality. The State Council and the military specially set up a working office to be responsible for this matter.

It was with Lin Yu's consent that the military officially decided to cut the military by 400,000 to 500,000, and now the first batch of 5,000 servings of "Guben Peiyuan Decoction Concentrate" has also begun to be supplied.

However, as Su Yu became pregnant, in order to reduce her work pressure, the work that she was previously responsible for contacting the military was basically handed over to Huang Ying and others. Su Yu now only delivers the "Guben Peiyuan Soup Concentrate" on time and accurately according to the list provided by the military.
