In late February, Shanghai took the lead in establishing a committee, and other places followed suit.
By late April, a committee had been established in Beijing, and various units, including the Ministry of Machinery, were keeping up with the times.
That day, Sun Zhengguo had just finished a meeting at the Ministry of Machinery and was getting into his car to return to the research institute.
On the way back, thinking about the meeting he had just attended, and looking at his cousin driving, Sun Zhengguo couldn't help but have an idea.
"Zhengnan, your elder brother is going to give you a task. I wonder if you'd be willing to take it?"
"Brother, what kind of job is it? Tell me first, and I'll see if I can do it." Sun Zhengnan didn't pay much attention and kept his eyes on the road, driving seriously.
"Hahaha!" Sun Zhengguo laughed loudly, "Little brat, do you think I'd trick you? There's a job for the head of the disciplinary squad, I wonder if you'd be willing to do it?"
With a screech, the car came to a sudden stop.
Sun Zhengnan turned around in surprise, "Big brother, my good big brother, you finally thought of me! I wonder what administrative rank this patrol captain is?"
Seeing his cousin's eager look, Sun Zhengguo quickly waved his hand, "You drive first, but be careful."
"Oh, oh!" Sun Zhengnan quickly restarted the car.
Only after the car had stabilized did Sun Zhengguo continue the conversation from where he left off.
“Zheng Nan, this disciplinary team has no administrative rank; it's all made up of activists. But don't underestimate them; they have a lot of power! They can investigate whoever they want…”
Fearing his cousin would object, Sun Zhengguo exaggerated the situation as much as possible.
In reality, the disciplinary squad was there to keep an eye on those young men, prevent them from causing trouble, and at the same time protect the safety of some people.
But gradually, as the two groups merged, the original flavor changed, and it disappeared within a few years.
And what about Sun Zhengnan's side?
At first, he was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard that there was no administrative rank.
But when he heard that he could investigate whomever he wanted, his eyes lit up.
"Brother, you don't need to say anything, I'll take the job."
"Alright, I'll hold another meeting to discuss it when we get back." Sun Zhengguo nodded in satisfaction, pleased that he had successfully fooled him.
In fact, this disciplinary team is also a very important force, and he wouldn't feel at ease if he didn't have it under his control.
That's why he kept urging his cousin to do it, in order to indirectly control this force in his own hands.
Soon, the car returned to the research institute. Sun Zhengguo didn't have a moment to spare and invited all the standing committee members over to prepare for a standing committee meeting.
...
In the conference room, Sun Zhengguo sat in the center. Seeing that all the Standing Committee members had arrived, he then took out a document.
"Comrades, with the approval of the higher authorities, starting today, our institute will also establish its own committee. Here is the document; please circulate it among yourselves."
After speaking, Sun Zhengguo handed the document to Li Shengli and then waited quietly.
The document itself isn't very long; it's just worded differently, only two pages long, so it's easy for everyone to read quickly.
The Standing Committee members present finished reading the document in less than ten minutes.
Although he had already read the document, Sun Zhengguo still asked a pointless question, as was his custom.
"Comrades! After reading this document, what are your thoughts?"
Upon hearing Sun Zhengguo's question, the Standing Committee members exchanged glances and almost unanimously shook their heads, indicating that they had no objections.
"Alright, since no one has any objections, the Mechanical Research Institute Committee is now officially established. I hereby announce the organizational appointments."
As Sun Zhengguo spoke, he took out an appointment letter from his briefcase and began to read it aloud…
The appointments were actually quite simple: apart from Sun Zhengguo being appointed as the director, all other standing committee members were appointed as deputy directors.
The only change is in the title; all other positions remain the same.
Upon hearing this, all the Standing Committee members breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they still held power, they could address each other however they wanted.
After announcing the appointment, Sun Zhengguo looked at his younger brother, who was taking notes, and casually gave him instructions.
"Secretary Sun, after the meeting, go to the publicity department and have them change the nameplates on the two unit doors. Also, have them make an announcement so that every worker understands the significance of establishing this committee."
"Okay, Director, I'll make the arrangements after the meeting."
"Um!"
After explaining things to his younger brother, Sun Zhengguo prepared to move on to the next topic.
"Alright, comrades! You've all seen the documents we just reviewed. We're currently short a candidate for the head of the disciplinary team, and we need an activist to fill that role. Does anyone have a suitable candidate in mind?"
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he looked around at everyone, as if asking for their suggestions.
But the Standing Committee members present were not incompetent either. If this position of disciplinary team leader were in other units, anyone with ambition would definitely be vying for it.
But if you put it in a research institute, this position would be a hot potato.
Since the institute's only military force can be mobilized by Sun Zhengguo, the position of disciplinary captain is somewhat of a liability.
At the same time, everyone knows that Sun Zhengguo will definitely not give up this position, which is why the other members of the Standing Committee will not compete for it.
Li Shengli then coughed twice. "Director Sun, oh, no, Director Sun, I really don't have a suitable candidate for the position of disciplinary team leader. Why don't you arrange it yourself?"
Zhang Huaibei immediately understood, “That’s right! Director Sun, we are mostly working in the branch factory now and pay little attention to the research institute. We don’t know much about activists. Why don’t you nominate one?”
"Yes, yes, yes, the capable should do more. Director Sun, just nominate him directly! Then we can vote by raising our hands."
Chen Wanchun echoed, saying that he would support whatever Sun Zhengguo wanted to do.
"I support it too."
...
Seeing that everyone's opinions were in agreement, Sun Zhengguo couldn't appear too greedy, so he became a little more polite.
"Comrades! Since you all trust me, I'll get straight to the point. If I say anything wrong, I hope you can point it out in time. I don't want anyone to say that I'm a one-man show."
"No, Director Sun, please just say it directly!"
...
Seeing that the Standing Committee members remained resolute, Sun Zhengguo didn't waste any time this time and started calling out names directly.
"Comrades! I think Comrade Sun Zhengnan, the squad leader of the motorcade, is usually quite proactive and motivated in both his thinking and work. He can serve as the captain of the disciplinary team on a part-time basis. Does anyone have any different opinions?"
Upon hearing Sun Zhengguo's nomination, the Standing Committee members were secretly taken aback. Luckily, they hadn't argued about it earlier; it turned out someone had already been chosen.
"I agree." Li Shengli was quick as ever, the first to raise his hand in approval.
Then the voices were all one-sided.
"agree."
I agree.
...
Thus, Sun Zhengnan achieved final victory without any opponents.
After the meeting, Sun Zhengguo quickly called his cousin and asked him to organize the personnel and first establish the framework of the disciplinary team, which could be gradually supplemented later.
