Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

The workers slowly dispersed, and He Yuzhu helped Yang Weihua down from the table. At this time, Yang Weihua was sweating all over.

Yang Weihua handed the loudspeaker in his hand to He Yuzhu, then turned to Li Huaide and said, "Huaide, it seems that there is a big problem with Huang Shengli. He is just a small canteen director, but he has the courage to do such a thing. His case has also sounded a wake-up call for us. There cannot be only one Huang Shengli in our unit. Now the workers are asking for an explanation and almost caused a big incident, which led to Huang Shengli being exposed. What if the higher-ups find out? How do we explain it to the department?" Yang Weihua asked Li Huaide.

"Director, we can first ask all departments to conduct self-inspections. The factory also has some letters of complaint, some with real names and some anonymous, which contain some clues. The factory is also conducting investigations. Let's take this opportunity to investigate a batch of cases ourselves, deal with them seriously, give an explanation to the employees, and let the leaders of the department see our determination to fight corruption. We will also hold a study class to strengthen the ideological study of leading cadres," said Li Huaide.

"Well said. After dinner, let's have a short meeting and go over this. Huaide, you take the lead in this matter," said Yang Weihua.

"Good factory manager" Yang Weihua and Li Huaide decided the next work priorities of the steel rolling mill in a few words.

In the eyes of Yang Weihua and Li Huaide, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to prove themselves to leaders and comrades that they are not only capable of production and operation, but also of ideological construction and clean government construction.

After lunch, the leadership of the Red Star Steel Mill did not take a lunch break, but held a closed-door meeting. At the meeting, Yang Weihua was the leader, Li Huaide was the deputy leader, and Liu Le, Wang Cheng, and Xu Sinian were the leaders of the group. The first task of the group after its establishment was to handle Huang Shengli's case.

In fact, Huang Shengli's case was very easy to investigate. After the vendors who delivered vegetables to the factory were arrested, they confessed immediately that they were using third-grade vegetables to pass off as first-grade vegetables. The difference in price was split 50-50 between Huang Shengli and the vendors, and this practice had been going on for two years.

Xing Baoguo led people to search Huang Shengli's home and seized more than 20,000 yuan in cash and a box of large goldfish.

"Comrades, who could have imagined that a small canteen director could embezzle so much money? It is so heartbreaking," Yang Weihua said at a meeting of middle-level cadres at the steel mill.

"More than 20,000 yuan, plus a box of ten bars of gold weighing more than 300 grams. To be honest, Huang Shengli is much richer than me, the factory director. Several of us in the entire team are considered to have high salaries in the factory, but all of us combined are not as rich as Huang Shengli. What does this show? While we were engaged in production and operation, we forgot to strengthen our own ideological construction and did not study the works of great men in depth. Here I want to apologize to everyone. As a factory director, I did not supervise well. But it is not too late to mend the fold. Starting from this week, we will organize a study session every Friday night. The students are all of you sitting here. As for the teachers, we will hire them from universities to strengthen your ideological education. Now it is certain that Huang Shengli will be shot. I hope you will take this as a warning and don't steal. Remember one thing, if you steal, you will be caught..." Yang Weihua gave a vivid anti-corruption lesson at the cadre meeting.

After the meeting, Huang Shengli was handed over to the public security organs, and what awaited him was execution.

The Ministry of Machinery Industry also received a report from the Red Star Steel Mill and was very interested in their cadre ideological education classes and clean government construction groups. It sent someone to study them and then promoted them throughout the Ministry of Machinery Industry. The Red Star Steel Mill was a pioneer and was commended in the ministry. Yang Weihua, as the director of the steel mill, was praised by the ministry's main leaders.

The factory sent another deputy director of the Logistics Department, Gao Yonghui, to serve as the canteen director temporarily on a part-time basis. The purchasing authority was also transferred to the Supply and Marketing Department, and was under the charge of Niu Kewu, the current deputy chief of the Supply and Marketing Section 2.

Zhang Dabiao was a little confused after receiving the notice. What was this? You guys are causing trouble, so my workload has increased? Although I don't go to the company often, I am still the section chief of the Second Supply and Marketing Section. Letting Niu Kewu take charge, isn't that letting me take charge?

Looking at Niu Kewu sitting at the door, Zhang Dabao was speechless.

"Brother Niu, the factory asked you to be in charge, not me? Just do what you should do, without telling me," said Zhang Dabao.

"That won't work. You are the section chief, and you are also the person in charge of the logistics department. Who else can I discuss this with if not you?" Niu Kewu said.

"Brother Niu, there are vegetables in government-owned enterprises and public-private joint ventures. You don't have to find someone. Isn't it better to handle official matters in a fair manner? I don't go to the factory often, so you really don't need to tell me." Zhang Dabao was speechless and thought of a solution for Niu Kewu.

"Yes, let's go to the government to avoid so much trouble. I think you have a solution, Section Chief. I'm leaving now," Niu Kewu said and left.

Damn, I've got myself into trouble. Niu Kewu, that bastard, is trying to trick me, Zhang Dabiao thought. I can't stay at home anymore. Maybe someone will come looking for me.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dabiao came to the Red Star Photography Studio. The photos he took in Yishui, Shandong Province, had not been developed yet. He needed to develop at least two sets and send one set back to Yan Jingda and others in Shandong. Nowadays, rural people don't take photos very often, especially the elderly. Taking photos is a very sacred thing. They must wash their faces, comb their hair, and change into their most decent clothes.

When the Yan family gathered together, both adults and children wore An's most respectable clothes, which was more grand than the Chinese New Year. They also wanted to stay to see him for the last time.

When developing the photos, I asked for expedited processing and paid twice as much, so that I could get the photos in two days instead of having to wait for ten days.

After leaving the photo studio, Zhang Dabao came to Chunfeng Hutong, where he placed a beard. He planned to treat people to a meal, so he invited Liang Fei and Cao Lianbiao from the police station, as well as Shi Chulai from the post office. Huang Xinsheng went to Hong Kong and no longer lived in the courtyard. Zhang Dabao was still a little worried about He Yuzhu's work, perhaps because the impression of He Yuzhu as Sha Zhu was too deeply rooted in people's minds.

If he invites Liang Fei and Cao Lianbiao, his brothers and nephews will have to make a living under their hands. Not to mention Director Shi Chulai, who is Jia Dongxu's immediate superior.

Let’s set the time for tomorrow night and let Jia Dongxu deal with the goose. Thinking of this, Zhang Dabao came to the Hongxing Police Station.

The entrance of the police station was very busy today. There were at least twenty or thirty people standing at the gate, and a stretcher was placed on the ground. Zhang Dabao walked to the front and listened to everyone's discussion. He then learned that someone had been beaten and injured. After reporting to the police, the person was not arrested but sent home. The family of the beaten person was unhappy, so they came to the police station to ask for an explanation.

"What can I do? I'm just a small director. The Municipal Bureau asked me to release him. How can I disobey the order? Han Ming is sick and mentally ill. We have a certificate issued by a regular hospital. According to the regulations, I can only release him," Liang Fei explained to the family members.

It was obvious that no one agreed with Liang Fei's point of view, and then they continued to speak loudly.

Cao Lianbiao, who was behind Liang Fei, saw Zhang Dabao in the crowd and waved to him. Zhang Dabao walked aside.
