Siheyuan, my new life

Chapter 85 Searching Yang Weimin's Office

Lin Yu, Bai Wu and Sun Shengnan led six soldiers to the office building of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. There were already four fully armed soldiers guarding the gate of the office building, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

After Lin Yu and the soldiers saluted each other, they walked into the office building of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. At this time, many people working in the office building had already noticed the movement outside, and many of them were curiously leaning on the windows to look out.

Bai Wu, who was walking beside Lin Yu, whispered, "Director Lin, should we ask the leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to calm the emotions of the workers through the radio later?"

Lin Yu had just seen the office staff leaning against the window to watch the excitement. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The secretary and director of the Red Star Steel Mill were called over by the Ministry of Industry this morning. The deputy director in charge of production is Yang Weimin, and the other deputy director in charge of technology is Dong Dongliang. To be honest, I am not very optimistic about the leadership team of the Red Star Steel Mill. Lou Zhenhua was able to collude with both insiders and outsiders to steal and sell special steel. The leaders of the Red Star Steel Mill should bear considerable responsibility. Forget it. After searching Yang Weimin's office, I will ask Li Huaide, the logistics director of the Red Star Steel Mill, to send a notice to the propaganda department radio station."

Soon the group had reached the third floor. All the offices along the way were closed. If it weren't for the whispers coming from the rooms, I would have thought that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was on holiday today. No one dared to come out to watch the excitement at this time. Lin Yu, the director of the Security Department who had just taken office yesterday, led seven fully armed soldiers and a public security officer into the office building with a serious expression. In addition, I heard that the gate downstairs had been blocked by soldiers and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Some sharp-eyed people also found that there were more soldiers guarding the doors of various workshops in the distance. Unless you are a person with a problem in your brain, who would not have thought that this was a big deal? To be able to dispatch so many soldiers, it must be a big deal. So the people in each office gathered together and whispered, but no one dared to go out to inquire. At this time, it was safest to stay in your office honestly. Anyway, there were tall people to support the sky when it fell. There were so many leaders in the factory, but no one had stood up until now, right?

Lin Yu walked to the door of Deputy Director Yang Weimin's office and pushed the door open. At this time, the door of the office next to him was opened, and a young man in a light gray Zhongshan suit came out nervously. Under the gaze of a group of armed soldiers, he quickly opened his mouth to explain: "I am the correspondent of Deputy Director Yang. Deputy Director Yang is not here now. What can I do for you?"

The young man had no choice but to leave the office. As the correspondent of Deputy Director Yang, someone broke into his office when Deputy Director Yang was not at home. If he, as the correspondent, did not step forward to investigate at this moment, and when Deputy Director Yang investigated the matter later, his job as a correspondent would probably be over.

In fact, these so-called correspondents are just another name for secretaries. After all, according to regulations, only senior leaders at the vice-ministerial level and above are qualified to have secretaries. Those leading cadres who are not at the high enough level find ways to come up with some so-called correspondents and other titles, which are actually secretaries arranged by these people for themselves.

Director Bai Wu did not make things difficult for the nervous young man in front of him. After all, there was no evidence to prove that the young man was related to Yang Weimin's case. The young man had the courage to come forward to ask because of his communication. So he waved at him and ordered: "The military and the Municipal Public Security Bureau are jointly handling the case. Go back to your office immediately."

The young man's heart sank after hearing this. From what the public security officer said, he could conclude that Deputy Director Yang Weimin was in trouble, and it was a big one. Otherwise, the military and the Municipal Public Security Bureau would not have come to his house together. How could the person who was chosen to be the deputy director's correspondent be a fool? He quickly forced out a stiff smile, turned around and went back to the room he had just left, and closed the door tightly.

Lin Yuke didn't have time to deal with the young man just now. It was the first time he walked into Yang Weimin's office. This office was much more luxurious than his own office in the Security Department. The area was nearly half as large. There were not only large and comfortable leather sofas, brand new tables and chairs, but also a whole row of filing cabinets against the wall. A pile of Zhonghua and Mudan cigarettes could be clearly seen from the gap between a half-open filing cabinet.

Lin Yu walked directly to the desk and opened the drawer of the desk with the key in his hand. Suddenly, a pile of brand new banknotes appeared in front of everyone. A rough glance showed that there were at least four or five thousand yuan.

The cash in front of him alone was enough to make Yang Weimin very worried. As a deputy factory director at the department level, his monthly salary was regulated to be no more than 159 yuan. Even with various subsidies, it would not exceed 200 yuan. A year without food or drink would only be around 2,000 yuan. The money he saw in the drawer alone was far beyond his actual income level.

After finding the cash that Lou Zhenhua had bribed Yang Weimin with today, Lin Yu did not continue to take action. Instead, he ordered Sun Shengnan: "Captain Sun, you and the soldiers search this office carefully and make detailed records of all the property found." After that, he walked out of the office, stood at a window in the corridor, took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked into the distance while smoking.

Bai Wu did not walk out of the office, but took the initiative to pick up paper and pen to help take notes. He had seen Lin Yu standing in front of the corridor window with a frown on his brows, and mistakenly thought that the other party was thinking about something, so he did not go over to disturb him.

At this time, Lin Yu's mind was full of random thoughts. Today, he arrested Yang Weimin, deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and Lou Zhenhua, who was known as Lou Bancheng. With the crimes committed by these two people, they would definitely not escape the fate of eating iron peanuts, and many people would be implicated, whether it was the officials who labeled Lou Zhenhua as a red capitalist, or the leaders who promoted and reused Yang Weimin. Now is not the time when they can get away with it with just a sentence of "being deceived and oversight" in the future. Lin Yu does not care about the final outcome of these people. What he is thinking about now is whether the fate of Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu and others will change.

In the original play, He Yuzhu, also known as Shazhu, was able to dominate the steel mill, not just because of his cooking skills. You have to know what Sijiu City is, the national food culture center. It would be easy to find a chef who is better than Shazhu. I dare not say that there are many chefs, but any chef in the Eight Buildings can beat Shazhu.

In the drama, Sha Zhu always regards himself as the successor of Tan's cuisine. However, in that era, it was simply impossible for ordinary people to gather the ingredients needed to make Tan's cuisine. I'm afraid Sha Zhu only learned the skills of making Tan's cuisine from his father He Daqing, but he never had the opportunity to really learn it.

What Sha Zhu is really good at is Sichuan cuisine with Beijing flavor. At that time, there were at least 800 chefs who could cook Sichuan cuisine with Beijing flavor. Sha Zhu could do whatever he wanted at the Red Star Steel Mill because he relied on Yang Weimin, who would later become the secretary and director of the Red Star Steel Mill. The play mentioned that the deaf old lady had a friendship with Yang Weimin. According to Lin Yu's analysis, the deaf old lady was probably connected with Yang Weimin through Lou Zhenhua.

In the original play, Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-level fitter, which was considered the ceiling among workers. Yi Zhonghai was able to call the shots in the No. 95 courtyard for decades, which was inseparable from his status as an eighth-level worker.

However, Lin Yu always felt that there was a lot of water in Yi Zhonghai's title of eighth-level worker. In other words, Yi Zhonghai himself had not reached the level of an eighth-level fitter at all. One must know that a real eighth-level fitter must not only have superb manual skills, but also have extremely high drawing and image recognition abilities. Yi Zhonghai is an ordinary worker who has not even attended high school and has not received systematic instruction from a master. Where did he learn all this knowledge?

At that time, an eighth-level fitter was definitely considered a big shot in the factory. Even in an enterprise directly under the Ministry of Industry such as the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, an eighth-level fitter would at least be assigned a leadership position in a workshop. However, Yi Zhonghai was just an ordinary worker until his retirement.

If you think about it carefully, I'm afraid that Yi Zhonghai, the eighth-level fitter, was hired by the deaf old lady through the relationship between Yang Weimin, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, otherwise many things would be unclear. Yang Weimin knew the real situation of Yi Zhonghai very well, so he would not reuse him. As for the extra salary Yi Zhonghai received every month as an eighth-level fitter, it was nothing in the eyes of Yang Weimin, the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Now that he has arrested Yang Weimin and Lou Zhenhua in one fell swoop, he has completely changed the fate of Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and others. Sha Zhu has lost his backing to bully others in the Red Star Steel Mill in the future, Yi Zhonghai has lost the opportunity to become an eighth-level fitter, and Xu Damao is even less likely to continue to marry Lou Xiaoe. Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but feel funny. He hoped that in the days to come, those beasts in the courtyard No. 95 would be more obedient.
