Before Vice Governor Qiu and his team have even made a decision, some people are already starting to get restless.
Minister Hu's nephew from the Ministry of Transport started causing trouble. He was calling on people everywhere in the Propaganda Department, trying to recruit people within the provincial government.
Moreover, they were using Minister Hu's name as a front, and they actually managed to gather a few people who were jumping around and causing trouble. They also started contacting outsiders, attempting to surround government agencies.
When Governor Gu received the news, his face turned ashen.
Despite his usual strained relationship with Secretary Liang, in this matter, he is absolutely on Secretary Liang's side. Both are high-ranking leaders; they have no reason to get involved in such messy affairs.
Now his subordinates are getting restless; they're trying to cause trouble.
Secretary Liang quickly mobilized people to drive these people away.
As a result, these people started to raise their banners.
The fact that this flag has been raised makes it difficult to act; if word gets out, things will be complicated for everyone.
Vice Governor Qiu immediately made the decision: let's raise a banner and set up one on our side too.
The only difficult decision is finding the right person to lead the charge. I'm worried about hiring someone untrustworthy, which could backfire.
Su Yu immediately stood up and volunteered.
The three leaders glanced at Su Yu and carefully considered her family background. All were from cadre families, and her husband was Song Dongzheng from Jiangdong City; there was no question of her undermining others. She was usually very proactive and not the type to hide her true self. Although a woman, she was courageous and eloquent. Poor peasant + worker + military dependent + Party member = a strong political background.
Therefore, they unanimously agreed to Su Yu's request.
Since we're aiming to raise a big banner, we naturally need our own people.
After Su Yu made a few phone calls, union members from various units in Jiangdong flocked out.
When people get together, there are actually quite a few of them.
Even the provincial leaders were unaware that Su Yu possessed this ability.
The other side was led by a member of the security department. When they saw that Su Yu's group was also waving their flags, the two sides immediately started arguing.
Su Yu had a table brought over, stood on it, grabbed a megaphone, and started shouting slogans—a string of quotes from great leaders—and no one dared to say a word.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? We are the legitimate organization. What are you leaders planning to do? Comrade Zhou Baoguo, put our sign up!"
Zhou Baoguo, now the chairman of the steel mill's trade union, immediately raised a newly written flag that read: "Resolutely Defend the Victory of the Revolution."
"Comrades, you've been fooled by these few people. We are the organization recognized by our superiors. They're the ones leading you in this mess. Do they even know the directives from above? Can they recite the quotations? Find someone to recite them. They can't even recite that, yet they dare to wave their banners?"
"Whoever can recite it, get out here! We can pick anyone here who can recite it. You people are just trying to use this as a pretext to do bad things. You are disrupting the revolutionary order and are bad elements!"
The people on the other side were completely bewildered.
These people haven't really amounted to anything yet; they've all huddled together, waiting for the right moment to act. Little did they know there was another group of more organized people causing trouble as well.
Minister Hu's nephew immediately ran out and said, "Don't listen to her! She's all talk!"
Su Yu pointed at him with a cold smile and said, "This man is my section chief, and he's actually your boss now. Do you know how he got into the department? He got in through his uncle, and after I punished him, he started causing trouble. You still let someone like him, who uses connections and doesn't give the people a way out, be your boss? I think you're all a bunch of bad elements who are planning to use connections!"
The group of troublemakers immediately became chaotic. Some had come spontaneously, while others had been incited.
Anyway, everyone was trying to get a bargain. Now they haven't gotten a bargain, and instead, they've been accused of something serious. They're starting to get anxious.
The leader at the front thought they might as well go all out and cause trouble, arresting these people first. Anyway, at this point, it was either the East Wind prevailing over the West Wind, or the West Wind prevailing over the East Wind.
Before anything could happen, the armed forces arrived.
Compared to these organized individuals, these troublemakers were nothing but a mob; they either ran away or were caught.
Su Yu, on behalf of her organization, expressed her gratitude to the visitors.
"I strongly suspect that there are spies among these people who want to disrupt our social peace. They have done a lot of bad things recently, and I hope they will be severely punished."
The leader on the armed forces' side was a young cadre, someone Li Ping had introduced to Su Yu before. Naturally, he supported Su Yu's actions. Now, this group could only be labeled as enemy agents. Otherwise, letting them go out and make baseless accusations would cause unrest in the future.
After all, there is only one legitimate organization.
After these people were arrested, things started to get going in Su Yu's office as well.
The leaders granted her a large office, and while her position remained unchanged, she continued to hold the title of the organization.
Now that the organization has been established, it should be implemented as quickly as possible throughout the province. Otherwise, the subordinates will cause trouble again.
With the cooperation of the provincial government and the support of the local armed forces departments, the branch offices were quickly established.
It was two months later when the situation stabilized.
Su Yu then began to consider the next step.
She felt that since they were going to follow the crowd, they should have everything they were supposed to have. After all, nobody's a fool. It's impossible for things to be bustling and chaotic in other provinces while things remain calm and peaceful here.
So Su Yu made some red armbands and distributed them to various junior and senior high schools. She checked the students' backgrounds and gave them to those with clean political records and excellent academic performance. Most importantly, she stressed the importance of resolutely obeying the education of higher authorities and attending regular classes to study advanced ideas.
