Siheyuan, my new life

The drunken old comrade did not hide anything and told Minister Yan directly that although Comrade Lin Yu had won many military exploits, there were countless officers like him in our army, and the most he was awarded this time was a lieutenant colonel. However, Comrade Lin Yu had a reputation as the "creator of special forces" in the army, and many soldiers called him the "father of special forces."

During his recovery, Comrade Lin Yu not only submitted a proposal and training outline for the establishment of special forces for our army based on his actual combat experience, but also carefully prepared the "Guben Peiyuan Decoction" that can greatly improve the physical fitness of the soldiers, and handed over all the prescriptions and medicines he prepared to the troops.

After more than half a year of experiments, the special forces soldiers who used the Guben Peiyuan Decoction had much better physical fitness than the soldiers who participated in training during the same period. Their physical endurance, speed and strength almost doubled.

After reading the experimental report, many military generals were filled with emotion. If they had such a force a few years earlier, they would definitely have wiped out the Bald Eagle Coalition.

Even Minister Yan felt a little regretful at the time. However, he was more curious about the young rising star in the army. He really wanted to see this junior who was praised by so many military leaders. However, he was busy with official duties and could not spare the time to inspect the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Lin Yu had just taken over the work of the Security Department and was also responsible for the training of the special brigade. He must be too busy to get away. He could only wait for an opportunity in the future.

Today, when he heard Vice Minister Gao mention that his son-in-law had gone to the Ministry of Industry to ask his father-in-law for help because of his conversation with Lin Yu, Minister Yan became curious, so he said to Li Huaide, who was standing in the back in a proper manner, "Xiao Li, could you please repeat your conversation with Comrade Lin Yu?"

Li Huaide did not hesitate. He repeated the content of his conversation with Lin Yu in a calm tone, and then stood there quietly.

Minister Yan frowned and carefully analyzed what he had just heard. From this conversation, one conclusion can be clearly drawn, that is, Lin Yu is more optimistic about Li Huaide. Although the reason why Comrade Lin Yu did this could not be analyzed from the content of the conversation between the two, one thing is certain, that is, Li Huaide's work in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was recognized by Lin Yu, especially at the critical moment when the leadership team of the original Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had serious problems, Lin Yu's recognition could also be regarded as a recommendation.

Minister Yan waved at Li Huaide and said, "Xiao Li, please go out and wait for a while. I need to discuss some work with Deputy Minister Gao."

Li Huaide didn't say anything, but turned around and walked out quickly, closing the office door behind him.

Minister Yan picked up the cigarette on the desk and nodded to Deputy Minister Gao, then they both lit up their cigarettes and no one spoke.

Minister Yan finished his cigarette, put the butt in the ashtray, and glanced at Deputy Minister Gao who was sitting across from him at the desk. He knew very well that since it was about his son-in-law, Deputy Minister Gao would definitely not take the initiative to speak up, otherwise it would be too unpleasant to hear. So he smiled and said, "Old Yan, I'm sure you know what Comrade Lin Yu means. Since Comrade Lin Yu thinks highly of Xiao Li, it fully shows that Xiao Li's work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has been recognized. Then we should give Xiao Li a chance. After all, time is not forgiving. We have to admit that we have all entered the ranks of the elderly, and we will have to rely on young people like them to take over our jobs in the future."

Deputy Minister Gao raised his hand and rubbed his temple, sighed softly, and said: "Yes, I have to admit that I am old. I was able to hold on to a day and night of forced march in the army, but now I have a headache after just a short period of work. Lao Yan, to be honest, I didn't consider Huaide at all in the personnel adjustment of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill this time. After all, his qualifications are lacking. I originally planned to let him work in logistics for a few years, and then consider other things. I just listened to his conversation with Comrade Lin Yu in the office, and I was a little hesitant. I am happy for Huaide to be recognized by Comrade Lin Yu, but the current situation of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is complicated, and it needs old comrades with considerable work experience to turn the tide and strive to stabilize the emotions of the majority of cadres and employees as soon as possible. Although Huaide has a certain understanding of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, I am worried that he will not be able to handle other work besides logistics."

Minister Yan glanced at the list on the desk and said with a smile: "You recommended Comrade Xiao Jianguo, the deputy secretary of the First Steel Rolling Mill, and Comrade Liu Changhe, the deputy director of the Second Steel Rolling Mill, to serve as the secretary and director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill respectively. I have some impression of these two old comrades. They are both calm and steady, and they are conscientious and responsible in their work. They are suitable candidates for the current Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. But I have a suggestion. Lao Gao, please consider it. I think we can let Xiao Li and Comrade Xiao Jianguo form a team. Comrade Xiao Jianguo is experienced and calm, and Xiao Li is young and energetic. Let him be the director. And as you said just now, Xiao Li has a better understanding of the situation of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. In this way, the two of them can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and can also put the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill on the right track faster."

After hearing this, Deputy Minister Gao repeatedly waved his hands and refused: "Old Yan, I don't agree that Huaide should be the factory director. First, this is not in line with organizational principles. Huaide has no experience as a deputy factory director before, so it is not appropriate for him to be the factory director directly. Secondly, the current Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is in a state of disrepair. It must have rich work experience to be competent for the position of the main leader. I still insist on the previous recommendation that Comrade Xiao Jianguo be the secretary and Comrade Liu Changhe be the factory director."

Minister Yan saw that the other party was determined, so he did not insist on his proposal. To be honest, he was a little worried about letting Li Huaide directly serve as the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, so he smiled and said: "Okay, let's decide on these two comrades as secretary and director, and let Xiao Li serve as deputy director and director of the logistics department, and continue to be in charge of logistics. In addition, since Xiao Li is more familiar with Comrade Lin Yu, let him be responsible for future communication and contact with the Security Department. Let's wait for everyone to vote at the minister's office meeting tomorrow morning, so that they can be arranged to take office as soon as possible."

After the two men finished discussing the business, they didn't talk much. Everyone was very busy at the moment, so Deputy Minister Gao said hello and left the minister's office.

Seeing his son-in-law standing not far away, Deputy Minister Gao did not say anything, but just walked towards his office. Li Huaide quickly followed behind his father-in-law.

The two men entered the office. Li Huaide saw that the tea in his father-in-law's cup on the desk had become so light that it had no color. He knew that his father-in-law was used to drinking strong tea, so he stepped forward and picked up the cup, poured the tea that had already cooled thoroughly into the trash can beside it along with the tea leaves, then took out a box of tea leaves from the filing cabinet as if he knew the job, then skillfully brewed the tea and respectfully brought it to his father-in-law.

Deputy Minister Gao sat on the chair, watching his son-in-law busy at work with a smile on his face, and was very happy. The son-in-law did not ask about the results of his discussion with Minister Yan as soon as he entered the door. After all, this was a major matter related to his own future. However, Li Huaide still carefully paid attention to making tea for himself again. Obviously, his son-in-law's qi-cultivation skills had been quite effective, so he smiled and pointed to the chair in front of the desk. Li Huaide saw the expression of his father-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel sure in his heart that it seemed that his affairs were stable. He sat on the chair, picked up the cigarette on the desk, first handed it to his father-in-law with both hands, and took out a lighter to help light the cigarette, and then lit a cigarette for himself.

After taking a puff of his cigarette, Deputy Minister Gao slowly said: "Minister Yan just proposed that you be the director of the Red Star Steel Mill, and work together with Comrade Xiao Jianguo, the former deputy secretary of the First Steel Mill." After saying this, his eyes were fixed on his son-in-law in front of him.

Li Huaide was so happy at this moment. You know, although there is only one level difference between the director level and the deputy bureau level, there is a huge gap in political status and welfare benefits. He can become the deputy bureau level director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill before the age of 40. As long as he works diligently, it is not a fantasy to be promoted to the position of his father-in-law in the future. Li Huaide was so excited that he saw the expression of his father-in-law. His excitement suddenly calmed down. Based on his understanding of his father-in-law, who has been in charge of the personnel work of the Ministry of Industry for many years, how could he disregard principles and do stupid things to help the situation?

So Li Huaide smiled and said, "Dad, based on my understanding of you, you will definitely not agree. With my qualifications, I am not even qualified to be the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. You will definitely not agree to Minister Yan's proposal."
