Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

It's a new day, the sun is shining brightly.

The conference room of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was filled with smoke, as if entering a fairyland, and all cadres at the department level and above sat upright.

As one of the few female comrades, Lin Wencui could only frown and endure the unpleasant smell in such an environment.

Li Huaide, who was sitting in the middle of the stage, holding a cigarette in his hand, seemed to be in a very bad mood.

"Comrades! In recent years, the output value of our factory has been declining, resulting in a sharp drop in the factory's income. Yesterday, the new Minister Bai held a meeting and made severe criticisms of our factory.

So today I called you all here to let everyone brainstorm and find a way out for the future of our factory. If you have any ideas, please feel free to speak up."

Buzz~~~!

As soon as Li Huaide finished speaking, the cadres in the conference room began to discuss in a low voice.

People had all sorts of opinions. Some suggested that Director Yang be brought back to power, others suggested increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and so on.

Of course, the voices of these people were neither loud nor soft, and Li Huaide could just hear them, which was a bit intriguing.

You know, before last year, these fence-sitters probably wouldn't even dare to fart.

But the situation is different now. He is powerless to change the situation and cannot even control his own destiny.

When he went to the meeting yesterday, he could clearly feel that a storm was brewing. Some people he had a good relationship with in the past had begun to avoid him.

Even his father-in-law, Vice Minister Qian, will have to retire early this time, let alone himself.

Thinking of this, Li Huaide became upset and a little angry, and he slammed the table with his fingers.

"Comrades! This is not a market. If you want to speak, you can stand up and speak. How can you be so disrespectful and chattering like this?"

It’s no wonder that although Li Huaide has become a sick cat now, he still has the might of a tiger as he once was, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Huaide gestured with his hand to Deputy Director Nie who was sitting on his right.

"Deputy Director Nie, since no one else is speaking, you should start by making the first move!"

When Deputy Director Nie saw the fire burning himself, he didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, he was not afraid of villains like Li Huaide before, and he is even less afraid of him now. Since you want to listen, I will say a few words.

Then Deputy Director Nie adjusted the microphone and began his performance.

“Comrades! Regarding the issue of declining output value, we need to analyze it from the following points.

First, this situation has gradually occurred in the past decade. So why did this happen? Have you ever thought about it?

Second, I just heard some comrades say that they need to increase revenue and cut expenditure. So I want to ask, where should we increase revenue and cut expenditure? Does eating and drinking with public funds every day count? "

Buzz~~~!

Deputy Director Nie's two topics once again set off a fire in the conference room.

No one expected that Deputy Director Nie would be so tough.

The former was just short of naming names, saying that Li Huaide was incompetent and that he was incompetent after driving Director Yang away.

The same is true for the latter. The issue of eating and drinking with public funds once again points to Li Huaide.

"No, Deputy Director Nie, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm not capable of that?"

Li Huaide felt a little regretful. He should not have let him speak earlier. Now he was in a difficult situation.

Who would have thought that Deputy Director Nie was not afraid at all, and he fought back in the face of Li Huaide's gaze.

"Yes! You just realized that you are not good enough. In fact, you have never been good enough. To put it bluntly, you are just an opportunist. You are good for nothing except eating, drinking and building relationships."

"You...?" Li Huaide was a little exasperated.

He didn't expect that Deputy Director Nie would actually fall out with him today.

I haven't even stepped down yet, why is this guy so impatient?

Just as Li Huaide was still considering how to save face, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

A few people walked in from outside. They all had stern faces and looked very serious, the kind that made people feel uneasy at the first sight.

The conference room fell silent instantly.

At this time, one of the leaders walked directly in front of Li Huaide.

"You are Li Huaide, and I am Zhang Tianhe, the head of the investigation team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Someone has reported that during your tenure, you used your position to suppress dissidents and eat and drink with public funds. In addition, there are serious problems with your work style. Please cooperate with the investigation and come with us!"

Faced with this sudden scene, Li Huaide seemed very calm and did not have any abnormal reaction. He just replied lightly.

"I'll go with you."

After saying this, Li Huaide felt relieved. He faced it all calmly and walked out the door on his own initiative.

Seeing that he was relatively cooperative, the members of the Discipline Inspection Commission investigation team did not resort to any means, thus giving him the final bit of dignity.

After Li Huaide was taken away, Zhang Tianhe did not leave, but continued to convey orders from his superiors.

"Don't panic, everyone. As this happened suddenly, the department has decided that Comrade Nie Yuan will temporarily manage all affairs of the steel mill until the higher-ups make a formal appointment."

Upon hearing such an appointment, those fence-sitters began to waver for a moment and were ready to cling to the thighs as soon as possible.

But Deputy Director Nie knew in his heart that all this was an illusion.

Because he had already heard that the former factory director Yang was already being rehabilitated and would soon be back in power, but he was still standing still.

But he was not discouraged, because Director Yang's age was there, and in a few years, the steel mill would still be in charge of him.

After completing the task, Zhang Tianhe nodded to Deputy Director Nie before leaving the office.

Deputy Director Nie saw that the drama was over and there was no need to hold another meeting, so he adjourned the meeting.

However, today's matter was not over yet. By the afternoon, several more people were taken away one after another.

Even Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao were taken away for investigation, and later even Sha Zhu was not spared.

Because Liu Haizhong used to be the captain of the patrol team, and Xu Damao used to be the team leader of the patrol team, they have both done some of those shitty things.

Therefore, it was not unfair that the two of them were taken away for investigation.

As for the reason why Sha Zhu was taken away, it was very simple.

Since his master Liu Dachuan retired, he has been in charge of the kitchen.

Therefore, taking him there is to cooperate with the investigation into Li Huaide's use of public funds for eating and drinking over the years.

For a time, the entire steel mill was in a state of panic.
