Early in the morning, several leaders from the steel rolling mill arrived and were all summoned to Yang Shuji's office, including the head of the security department. After everyone arrived, Xu Damao gave another work report.
"Comrades, this incident has had a very bad influence and has caused serious damage to the property of the Party and the people. Fortunately, with the concerted efforts of our factory and the branch bureau, we have still managed to bring the embezzlers and thieves to justice."
Now we need to do the following: First, continue to cooperate with the branch office to eliminate any remaining threats. Regardless of whether the auto repair shop has problems or the main factory has problems, are there problems at other branch factories? This requires further in-depth investigation.
Secondly, we need to do a good job in maintaining stability in the next stage. So many people have been arrested because of this incident, some have lost their lives, and others have lost their jobs. There will inevitably be family members who are dissatisfied and may cause trouble at the factory. This requires our office and armed forces department to be prepared.
Thirdly, we must ensure the proper selection and training of replacement personnel. If someone is arrested, what will happen to their vacant position? We must be extremely careful this time, selecting only those with both integrity and ability. Especially in the security department, whose job is to combat theft, how could someone become a thief or an accomplice? This indicates a problem with our cadre selection process.”
Yang Zhenhua spoke at length, but the central message was clear: he wanted change, he wanted complete control of the situation. He had considered many opportunities to intervene before, but the established spheres of influence were difficult to break. He would not miss this golden opportunity.
The leaders present had different thoughts, but most of them were afraid of change. Because once change occurred, their long-standing power would be taken over by others.
Only Li Xuewu remained calm. He had made arrangements immediately after receiving Xu Damao's notification. Moreover, he had arrived earliest and had already exchanged benefits with Yang Zhenhua.
Before the meeting here had even ended, the branch bureau leaders had already led a team to the steel rolling mill to meet with the mill's leaders and report on the auto repair shop incident.
So Yang Zhenhua had the entire leadership team stay behind to listen to the report. After hearing it, everyone at the steel rolling mill, including Xu Damao, was shocked.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the embezzlement and theft gang led by Song Yucheng had been stealing from the steel rolling mill for over five years, with a total value exceeding 50,000 yuan. They stole everything from tiny screws to large machinery.
Those implicated included not only security personnel but also staff from workshops and human resources departments, making it a case that spanned a long period, involved a large number of people, and covered a wide range. This was also the largest economic case handled by the branch office in recent years.
Of course, these are preliminary conclusions based on the testimonies of Song Yucheng and the others. Further verification and investigation will require the cooperation of the steel rolling mill, which is also the purpose of the branch bureau leaders' visit today.
Initially, a few steel mill leaders were prepared to protect their own people, but at this point, everyone was thinking about how to stay far away from that group, fearing they might get into trouble. Human nature's tendency to seek advantage and avoid harm was laid bare.
Next, Yang Zhenhua spoke privately with the branch office leader. The meeting was brief, but both men emerged with smiles on their faces. Clearly, they had reached an agreement.
After a busy morning, Xu Damao was truly exhausted. Fortunately, he didn't have much to do, and there were two deputy factory directors present, so he drove straight back to the courtyard house.
After hugging his chubby son and briefly explaining the situation at the factory to Wang Minzhi, Xu Damao climbed onto the bed and fell asleep immediately.
I slept straight through until dark, only being woken up by my son grabbing my hair. By the way, this kid now has a formal name, Xu Yongjun, a name very much in line with the characteristics of this era.
It's not that Xu Damao's family members are uneducated, but rather that this name represents a form of protection and an attitude in this era.
"Son, what time is it now?" Xu Damao teased his son.
"Uh, uh"
The young soldier couldn't understand what his unreliable father was saying, but his father couldn't understand what he was saying either. And so, the two of them talked at length, seemingly at cross purposes.
"Stop chatting nonsense, you two. Damao, come out and eat." Wang Minzhi came in and saw her husband and son playing around, seemingly chatting as well, which left her speechless.
When the little soldier saw his mother come in, he sensed the food rations approaching and started pawing at his granary with his hands, his little head constantly getting closer.
"Wife, can I have some too after our son finishes eating?" Xu Damao said, feeling wronged.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Mom and my younger sister are outside. Don't let them hear us." Wang Minzhi was frightened by her lecherous and unreliable husband.
"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'm going to renovate the house, add some partitions, and divide it into several rooms. Then we can do whatever we want, and they won't be able to hear us," Xu Damao said, rubbing his hands together.
"Honey, I've noticed that your penis has gotten bigger recently, hasn't it?" Xu Damao gestured.
"It seems to have really grown bigger. Ugh, it's so annoying, how come it's still growing? I can't wear so many clothes anymore. Look at Li Tong, her size is just right, not too big or too small." Wang Minzhi had a bit of a Versailles vibe.
"You have no idea how many people want to be big. If I'm big, not only will my son have food to eat, but I can also have my husband. And there will be more ways to play at night. Li Tong's is too small, I'm embarrassed to even mention it," Xu Damao said lewdly, never expecting that he would almost ruin himself.
"Xu Damao, how do you know about Li Tong? Tell me, did you peep on her?" Wang Minzhi began to interrogate.
"Let go! Didn't you just say Li Tong was small? I was just saying it casually. Son, look at your mother, she's being unreasonable." Xu Damao had no choice but to ask his son for help.
"Hmph, I can say it, but you can't. A while ago, Li Tong said some of the girls in your workplace like to go to your office. Let me tell you, don't you dare look around. Li Tong is keeping an eye on you for me," Wang Minzhi said fiercely.
That one gesture almost made Xiao Xu salute on the spot. Luckily, Xu Damao was hungry and not thinking about it.
After dinner, Xu Damao told his family what he needed to do and then went out to visit the auto repair shop. These days, the repair shop organizes its own workers to stand guard at night, and as the manager, he wanted to go and offer his regards.
As soon as he stepped out, he was called out by the person with bangs across the street.
"Da Mao, where are you going so late?" Liu Haizhong asked.
“I’ll go check out the auto repair shop. Aren’t our own employees on duty right now? I’ll go see what’s going on,” Xu Damao said.
"Wait for me, I'm coming too." Without waiting for Xu Damao's reply, Liu Haizhong ran straight home. In less than a minute, Liu Haizhong returned with a basket in his hand, containing some dry food and steamed buns.
"Old Liu, you're acting more like a leader than I am. Okay, wait for me a minute, I'll go back and get some things too." Seeing that the other person was carrying things, Xu Damao could only go back and find some things to take with him.
Old Liu, no wonder you haven't become a leader all these years, you're making the leaders lose face. But on another note, Old Liu went to the factory last night, and he was very serious about his work, and he gave good instructions.
