"A guesthouse?" Lin Yang asked, puzzled. "What exactly did Director Yang mean when he told you that, Brother Ning?"
Tong Daning organized his thoughts for a moment, and then began to speak:
"Actually, at first, I didn't quite understand why Lao Yang said he would crack down on petty theft!"
"But when he mentioned the guesthouse, I realized he and Lao Li were going to join forces!"
Lin Yang, still puzzled, asked, "Join forces? Aren't the two of them a match for them?"
"They are rivals, but isn't there also a deputy factory director named Teng in the factory?" Tong Daning said in an ambiguous tone, "He is in charge of investment promotion, so the guesthouse is under his management. This time, Lao Yang and Lao Li joined forces to deal with him!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yang understood what was going on.
He had wondered before when he watched TV that a factory shouldn't have only one deputy factory director!
It turns out that there was another deputy factory director who had been ousted by Yang and Li before.
"But Brother Ning, wouldn't that make us the tools to deal with Director Teng?" Lin Yang thought of Tong Daning's previous statement that the Security Department would remain calm and collected, but now he was personally coming down to the scene.
"Heh, I've wanted to get rid of Teng Ke for a long time. There's no corruption he won't do!" Tong Daning said coldly. "If it weren't for Lao Yang and Lao Li trying to win Teng Ke over and constantly obstructing the security department, I would have arrested him long ago!"
At this point, he chuckled contemptuously, "It seems Teng Ke has once again gone too far in his demands. Neither Lao Li nor Lao Yang could win him over, which is why we had to step in!"
After hearing these words, Lin Yang knew that Tong Daning was telling him not to feel guilty.
Go ahead and investigate!
And as long as this case is solved, no one will be able to criticize my position as deputy section chief.
Thinking of this, he immediately declared loudly, "Section Chief, please rest assured, I will personally take down all the corrupt officials in the factory!"
Then Lin Yang cheerfully added, "But Section Chief, I have another request!"
Tong Daning glanced at Lin Yang and said, "What mischief are you up to, kid? You're grinning like a sly fox."
"No, no!" Lin Yang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Didn't you say before that our team captain was going to retire? Since I'm stepping down, I'd like to recommend Liu Zi instead."
"Liu Zi." Tong Daning was taken aback. Ever since he became the head of the security department, he had always avoided suspicion, so even though his younger brother was a demobilized soldier, he was just an ordinary security guard.
Now that Lin Yang has said this, Tong Daning still subconsciously replied, "Liu Zi is still young and needs more experience."
"Brother Ning, as the saying goes, you should recommend the worthy even if you are related to them!" Lin Yang said earnestly, "Although Liu Zi is your brother, you can't keep suppressing him forever! How about this, if Liu Zi makes a contribution in this investigation of Teng Ke, you can consider it."
After thinking for a moment, Tong Daning nodded and agreed, "Okay!"
He then smiled and patted Lin Yang on the shoulder, saying, "I'm so happy for Liu Zi that he has a friend like you!"
After exchanging a few more polite words with Tong Daning, Lin Yang remembered the bicycle incident from that morning and quickly said, "Brother Ning, I'd like to ask for leave this afternoon!"
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Tong Daning asked with concern.
"It's nothing much, it's just that my home is too far from the factory, so I wanted to buy a bicycle to get around!" Lin Yang said with a smile. "Also, it's a nice gift to celebrate my promotion!"
"Great!" Tong Daning said with a smile after hearing this, "I even got the bicycle tickets!"
He then added, "So, do you have enough money? If not, I'll give you some more!"
"Enough, enough, enough!" Lin Yang nodded quickly and said, "Actually, I had already prepared the bicycle ticket and the money to buy a bicycle, but I always thought it was a bit too flashy, so I didn't buy it!"
"Indeed!" Tong Daning nodded with a smile and said, "Now that you're a cadre, it's quite good for you to buy a bicycle for transportation!"
"Oh right, Brother Ning," Lin Yang suddenly remembered, "I still have a radio ticket on me. After I buy it with the bicycle, can I say that the bicycle and the radio were rewards the department gave me for my good work?"
"You're something else!" Tong Daning was slightly taken aback when he heard that Lin Yang even had a ticket for a radio, and then said with a hint of surprise, "You've collected two of the three essential items (radio, sewing machine, and radio)!"
"It's all thanks to the blessings of my ancestors. As you know, the courtyard left by my ancestors was rented out, and that was the reward from the neighborhood committee!" Lin Yang said modestly.
"Haha, is that so!" Tong Daning nodded with a smile, then comforted Lin Yang, "Alright, Yangzi, don't worry! I originally wanted to promote you to brigade leader as a reward, but now that Director Yang has gone straight to it, I'll reward you with a watch voucher on behalf of the department! As for the bicycle and radio, you can say they were a reward from the department after you buy them!"
He patted his chest and said, "If anyone asks you, just pin it on me and I'll vouch for you!"
"Thank you so much, Brother Ning!" Lin Yang said gratefully.
People today are much more vigilant than those in later generations.
If you can't explain your money and receipts clearly, then you'll have to wait to go inside and explain yourself.
Especially those beasts in their hospital, they're all terminally ill with contempt.
"No need to thank me!" Tong Daning waved his hand, then, as if remembering something, said with a smile:
"By the way, Yangzi! There's no time like the present, why don't you come over for dinner tonight!"
"It just so happens that one of my father's comrades-in-arms came to Beijing on some business, and he brought some mutton from the grasslands!"
"After you finish shopping, go back and rest for a bit. I'll have Liu Zi call you from your yard later, and then we'll have hot pot!"
Lin Yang agreed without hesitation. Being able to eat mutton openly when he grows up is a wonderful thing in this day and age.
"Okay, then come with me to the office to get the watch ticket and then we'll go shopping!" Tong Daning said, and then walked ahead towards the security building.
After receiving the watch ticket, Lin Yang left the steel rolling mill and headed straight for Wangfujing Department Store.
The reason for not going to other department stores.
This is because this time, Lin Yang needs to purchase the other three items from the "Three Turns and One Sound" set, excluding the sewing machine.
Other areas may experience shortages.
But Lin Yang knew that Wangfujing Department Store would definitely not be out of stock.
Because Wangfujing Department Store enjoys unparalleled privileges, with the entire nation supporting Beijing and the Beijing municipal government giving priority to department stores!
The department store here is Wangfujing Department Store.
There's a saying in Beijing: "If you can't buy it at the department store, don't go anywhere else!"
Besides the abundance of goods, Lin Yang came here because of the service at Wangfujing Department Store!
The sales staff there weren't exactly enthusiastic.
But it's still much better than Yan Zhaolong's state-run restaurant.
At least they won't have a sign on the wall that says "Do Not Assault Customers".
