Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Director Wang nodded and said, "Okay, take me with you. My bike was taken away by my son."

Xiao Yun nodded, climbed onto the bike, stood up and pedaled hard, increasing the speed suddenly. Director Wang was so scared that he held on to the seat tightly for fear of falling off.

Soon, the two arrived at the police station.

Upon seeing Xiao Yun, a police officer who had just met came over to greet him, "Xiao Yun? Why are you here? I was just about to go over."

"What's the matter, comrade? Is there any result?" Director Wang asked impatiently.

"Well... yes, the theft of coal has been confirmed. His family members were not involved and will not be punished, but the mastermind, Yan Bugui, cannot escape."

"But the amount is not particularly large, and he is willing to pay double compensation, so he will be detained for half a month."

Listening to what the police said, Director Wang felt indescribably uncomfortable. How could such a situation happen so frequently in such an advanced compound in the past?

Is it because there is no one in charge?

Before he could figure it out, Xiao Yun asked, "Only half a month? Then what about breaking into my house and stealing things? It can't be counted, right?"

After Xiao Yun's reminder, the police officer slapped his forehead and said, "I really forgot about this. Wait a moment."

...

About five minutes later, the public security comrade reappeared in front of the two of them, "It's been half a year now."

"That's good, that's good." Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

But at this moment, Director Wang unexpectedly spoke up for Yan Bugui, "Xiao Yun, I know this is not good, but can you be a little more lenient with Yan Bugui?"

Xiao Yun was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Director Wang to say that. His eyes were full of surprise. "Why... why?"

"You know, he's the only working force in his family. If he goes in for half a year and has to pay compensation, his family will have a hard time. Those people..." Director Wang said it more tactfully, but his meaning was clear.

Xiao Yun pursed his lips and said quietly, "Director Wang, just because his family is in financial difficulty, can he be exempted from punishment if he makes a mistake? That's not okay, right?"

“If that’s the case, then isn’t it costless for poor people to commit crimes?”

"Director Wang, I respect you, but I can't let go of this matter. If you really think his family is in financial difficulty, then I will apply to the steel mill to arrange a job for his eldest son to make a living until he is released from prison."

As soon as Xiao Yun finished speaking, the police officer spoke up: "Comrade, I think you are the leader of the street. I understand your feelings. You are considering his family, but you really have to listen to Xiao Yun on this matter."

"We can't let the bad guy go unpunished. We have to make him understand what punishment his family will suffer if he does this."

"If he can be exempted from punishment, will people who are in more difficult situations than him also be exempted from punishment in the future? Wouldn't our farm prison become a joke or even a mere formality?"

Seeing the two people's firm attitude, Director Wang had no choice but to accept the problem.

After leaving the police station, on the way back, Xiao Yun's driving speed was no longer as fast as before, but slowed down a bit.

"Director Wang, do you think I'm being too heartless?" Xiao Yun asked.

Director Wang chuckled. "It's nothing. You are the person involved and he went to your house to steal things. It's okay for you to do this. I just couldn't bear to see his family suffer..."

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Director Wang, you may not believe what I just said, but I'm the director of the logistics department of the steel mill now. It's no problem for me to arrange a job for his son to make a living."

"I didn't want to do this originally, but now that you've said it, I'll adopt your idea and leave them a way out."

Director Wang was shocked, and the tone of his voice changed. "You are the director? Oh, now this official is more senior than me!"

Xiao Yun smiled lightly, "Director Wang, we are in charge of different things, so don't worry, I will arrange a job for Yan Jiecheng."

Director Wang seemed to have guessed something, and he chuckled as he spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, this isn't a good job, is it?"

"Well, the steel mill is in need of manure collectors, and I plan to arrange for him to go there. As for whether he does the job or not, it's up to him. I can't control it." Xiao Yun did not hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts.

Director Wang smiled and said nothing. He thought that Xiao Yun was very generous by doing this.

After sending Director Wang back, Xiao Yun rode his bike directly to the state-owned store. After all this trouble, dinner was not ready yet and Su Ming had already gotten off work.

When she returned, Su Ming smelled the scent of mutton as soon as she entered the yard. Looking at the mutton fat solidified in the cracks between the bricks on the ground in the middle courtyard, she vaguely guessed something, but didn't say much.

That night, we were supposed to have two dishes, but because Yan Bugui showed up, we only had fried lamb.

...

The next morning.

After sending Su Ming off, Xiao Yun arrived at the steel mill early. She had to do something big today, which was to reshuffle the purchasing department.

This is an offensive job, but he is not afraid.

Not long after arriving at work, Xiao Yun called Wang Qiang and Chen Gang. They had been reminded by Li Huaide long ago, so they had already counted the tasks completed by the buyers in the recent period.

While Xiao Yun was checking the list, the two of them sat quietly on the sofa, looking a little reserved. They wanted to smoke but didn't dare to, and they wanted to drink water but didn't dare to.

"Don't be so nervous. This has nothing to do with you. Just be natural." Xiao Yun said without raising his head.

“…Excuse me for asking, Director Xiao, how do you want to deal with this?” Wang Qiang said while rubbing his thigh.

"What to do? Those who fail to complete the procurement task for three consecutive months will be directly transferred to the workshop. Those who fail to complete the procurement task for two consecutive months will be fined and given a verbal warning for one month." Xiao Yun said lightly, and he also marked some names with a red pen.

"Then we recruit people, and hire buyers from various workshops. Everything is calculated based on ability."

"As for some buyers who have made great contributions to the factory, if they fail to complete their tasks, they can be given a two-month slack. If they still cannot complete their tasks, they will be transferred out of their positions."

After Xiao Yun finished speaking, the whole office fell silent.

This move is a bit too harsh. If this rule is implemented, I am afraid that half of the buyers will be affected.

Among them, there are about 20 to 30 people who were transferred from the purchasing positions.

"Director, isn't this too cruel?" Chen Gang whispered.

"I will tell the factory manager. I will implement it only if he agrees. Don't worry. If he disagrees, I won't implement it decisively."
