Chapter 7: Director Qian is suspended from his duties, and Liu 3 is relegated to the foundry worksho
Old Liu nudged the master next to him with his elbow: "Did you hear that? Team Leader Guo has actually taken on an apprentice! This is the first time in over a decade! This treatment is truly enviable."
Amidst the envious gazes of the crowd, Chen Weiguo nodded: "Thank you, Master Guo. I will learn diligently from you from now on and promise not to let you down."
The high regard everyone has for him shows that Master Guo, an eighth-grade worker, is definitely the pillar of the factory.
If I can find him to be my mentor, I'll have someone important to rely on in the factory.
In the future, if Director Qian of the Personnel Department wants to control me, he'll have to think twice about the power of his mentor.
……
at the same time.
In the personnel department, Director Qian hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days.
The dark circles under my eyes are all black.
Since the last incident, the factory director has ordered the security department to investigate him.
The security personnel went around the factory talking to people, and several of his staff members were called in for questioning.
They talked about all the things that Director Qian had done that violated regulations and laws.
It's all that bastard Chen Weiguo's fault!
That Deputy Factory Director Liu is really something. I'm standing up for your nephew, and you're unwilling to help me.
He went to see Deputy Factory Director Liu these past few days, but Deputy Factory Director Liu didn't want to have a conflict with Zhao Dehai because of him.
So they gave up on him.
Director Qian was cursing and swearing as he pondered how to get through this difficult situation.
Old Fang, the head of the security department, arrived at his office with his men.
"Director Qian, please cooperate with the investigation."
"What do I have to investigate? I've been working for over ten years and haven't made a single mistake!"
Director Qian still tried to argue his way out.
Old Fang didn't waste any words with him and directly opened his drawer.
I flipped to the bottom and found a black hard-cover notebook.
Director Qian's face turned deathly pale instantly.
broken.
How could I forget to hide my own account book?
This book contains records of all the gifts he received from others.
Who is the gift giver, what is the gift, how much is it worth, what favors are needed from them, and the date.
I wrote them all down, one by one.
He was afraid that his poor memory would lead him to accept the gifts but not fulfill his obligations, thus damaging his reputation.
Old Fang sneered, "Director Qian, you've done a very meticulous job."
Director Qian's face turned deathly pale.
This is probably the end for us.
The ledger was quickly handed over to the factory's Party Committee.
Zhao Dehai convened an emergency meeting overnight.
A group of leaders sat at the conference table, each reviewing the contents of the notebook.
Everyone looked extremely grim.
The ledgers involve twelve middle-level managers.
Five of them were under the jurisdiction of Deputy Factory Director Liu.
Deputy Factory Director Liu glanced at a few pages, then slammed the ledger onto the table: "This is Qian Dewang's personal behavior! We can't escalate things just because of one ledger. We have heavy production tasks right now, and the military trial production has just started. Stability is our top priority. Investigating Qian Dewang is enough. As for the others, we'll deal with them later."
Deputy Factory Director Liu came from the ministry, and those connections from back then are still there.
He felt that Zhao Dehai wouldn't turn against him over such a small matter and would give him face.
After all, the personnel system is very complex, and if you really dig deep, it's hard to say who you'll end up with.
That's enough.
Zhao Dehai said in a deep voice, "Of the twelve middle-level cadres, five are under your supervision. You're telling me this was just Qian Dewang's personal behavior?"
Deputy Factory Director Liu's expression changed slightly: "Factory Director Zhao, what do you mean by that?"
"It means exactly what it says. You just said that stability is the most important thing, but let me tell you, finding out these corrupt officials and getting rid of them is true stability. If we don't investigate, the workers will criticize us behind our backs, and that's what instability is."
"Zhao Dehai, we've been colleagues for a long time..."
Don't try to curry favor with me.
Zhao Dehai didn't hold back and interrupted him directly.
"Back in my day, Zhao Dehai wasn't afraid of anything on the battlefield, not even bullets. Do you think I'd be afraid of anyone you bring up?"
The moment those words were spoken, the conference room fell completely silent.
Deputy Factory Director Liu wanted to retort, but looking at Zhao Dehai's determined eyes, he swallowed the rest of his words.
He was parachuted in from the ministry and has been in charge of personnel at the machinery factory for so many years, having manipulated countless people.
I've long been used to people smiling at me.
But Zhao Dehai is different.
He's truly not afraid of himself.
After all, they've survived countless hardships; their backbone is much tougher than those who climbed up through drinking parties.
The meeting concluded with a vote by raising hands.
Zhao Dehai's plan was approved unanimously: Qian Dewang was suspended from his post for investigation, and all twelve middle-level cadres involved in the accounting records were suspended from work and placed under investigation.
Although Deputy Factory Director Liu was unwilling, a vote was held by raising his hand, and Zhao Dehai's proposal received the majority vote.
He could only raise his hand in response.
His complexion was extremely unpleasant.
Meanwhile, the security department also investigated Liu San.
This guy, relying on being the deputy factory director's nephew, worked as a warehouse manager for several years.
Stealing supplies from those in charge is not a one-off incident.
Previously, because Director Qian and Deputy Factory Director Liu were protecting them, no one dared to investigate.
Now that even Director Qian has fallen, the security department naturally followed the clues and thoroughly investigated his past.
Since Liu San is a permanent employee, the procedure for dismissing him directly would be very complicated.
The factory directly assigned him to the foundry workshop to do the most physically demanding work.
……
Chen Weiguo got off work early, so he rode his old bicycle to the market and bought flour and pork on the way.
Since we have cabbages at home, we don't need to buy them at the market.
Back home, Chen Weiguo first made a braised fish, and then started making dumplings.
Chen Weihong, who was assisting her brother, watched his skillful movements and asked curiously, "Brother, did you really learn this skill in the army?"
"I worked as a cook in the army for quite a long time, so I have some skills."
Chen Weiguo said casually.
In fact, in his previous life, he lived alone in a rented house and cooked for himself every day. He had developed his culinary skills long ago by doing this for so long.
The two were making dumplings when Aunt Wang came over for a visit, drawn by the aroma.
"Wow, Weiguo, with your skills, I think you could open a restaurant."
"No way, Aunt Wang, my cooking skills are nowhere near as good as those of restaurant chefs."
Aunt Wang changed the subject: "I really did some research on your situation when I told you about introducing someone to you last time."
The daughter of Old Sun at the entrance of our alley works at the supply and marketing cooperative. She is good-looking and honest.
Why don't you meet her?
Before Chen Weiguo could answer, Chen Weihong's eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked, "Aunt Wang, which Sun family are you talking about? Is it Sun Xiaoxia?"
"Yes, yes, you know him?"
"She's a senior from our school, two years ahead of us, and she's really quite pretty."
Aunt Wang slapped her thigh: "Weiguo, did you hear that? Even your sister said she's pretty! How about I help you schedule a time?"
Chen Weihong chimed in, "Brother, just let him see you!"
Chen Weiguo rolled his eyes: "Are you finding me a girlfriend, or a sister-in-law for yourself?"
"Either way is fine, you have to find someone anyway."
Aunt Wang beamed from ear to ear: "Weiguo, your sister cares about you even more than you do."
"It's settled then, Auntie will arrange it for you later."
Since you two have already made arrangements for me, I guess we can just meet up.
Chen Weiguo had no choice but to agree.
