Chapter 1395

The Workers' Inspection Team members were busy in full swing. Cao Weiguo wasn't idle either; he took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, getting some benefits and swapping a few paintings and calligraphy works. Otherwise, even if he didn't take them away, these works would likely be thrown outside and burned in a fire.

After digging three feet deep, a large amount of furniture, books, and paintings with feudal and capitalist colors were thrown onto the street, then turned into light and flames amidst the cheers of the crowd... The Sun brothers and Director Hu were also taken away amidst curses.

Because of Director Hu, the District Committee of Dongcheng District sent several officials to participate in the investigation, following the vine to find the melon and pulling out a large group of parasites, swatting quite a few flies.

You wouldn't know there were so many flies until you started swatting them. From the district to the streets, there were so many flies it was shocking. The city and the ministry were alarmed. Higher-level leaders attached great importance to this matter and sent leaders and backbone members of the Supervisory Committee to investigate vigorously. Leaders who had experienced the baptism of war and held the country in their hearts gave orders, requiring all participants to wipe out the parasites and flies that harmed the people, to eradicate evil completely, and to resolutely strike and clear out corrupt elements, cutting away the rotten flesh.

This country was built by countless revolutionaries who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives, pushed forward by the broad masses of the people with small carts, and established at a tremendous cost as a country that truly belongs to the people.

Facing the great victory, the great leader Chairman Mao emphasized many times the need to maintain the style of hard work and plain living, hoping to maintain the original intention and continue the revolution to the end, serving the people wholeheartedly.

But there were still some people whose thinking had gone wrong, abandoning their faith, abandoning their conscience, being corroded and corrupted, and turning to enjoy things as a matter of course, standing high above as a matter of course... If it were decades later, perhaps it would be a different scene, but in this fiery era, under the eyes of great men, engaging in corruption and bribery, shielding evil forces, and failing the trust of the masses is to be an enemy of the entire country!

With "Wu Chuanzong" as the fuse, the entire Jingcheng was shaken.

On this scorching summer day, the dog traitor Wu Chuanzong became famous, the Red Star Steel Mill became famous, and Cao Weiguo, who arrested the dog traitor and ferreted out the parasites, also became famous...

Cao Weiguo's desk phone rang incessantly, like boiling water. Director Jiang, Secretary Han, Director Ding... all called him. Some congratulated, some instructed, some encouraged, some praised. In short, there were many benefits and many gains.

Seeing Cao Weiguo's fame soar and receiving praise from multiple higher-level leaders, Xue Gang, who was struggling with Wu Chuanzong in the Security Section, was so jealous he almost vomited blood.

He endured the scorching heat, covered in smelly sweat in the sweltering interrogation room, putting in all his effort, wishing he could kneel and beg Wu Chuanzong to speak. He spent a huge amount of energy, but in the end, he gained nothing. On the contrary, Cao Weiguo, who had already been kicked out of the game, had achieved great merit and received praise from multiple big leaders. In the future, as long as he didn't make mistakes, his official career would surely be bright...

"Bastard! Are you going to talk or not! Are you going to talk or not!"

Xue Gang, getting angrier the more he thought about it, swung his leather belt. Wu Chuanzong grinned ferociously: "Hit! Hit all you want! Even if you beat me to death, I won't talk. I, Wu Chuanzong, will never betray my faith, and I will never sell out a brother!"

Vice Factory Director Xue was furious: "Dog traitor! You betrayed the country! You betrayed the people! What face do you have to speak of faith and righteousness! I think you just won't give up until you see the Yellow River! Good! Then I'll let you see what the Yellow River looks like!"

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

"Awooo..."

For a time, the Security Section was in chaos, very lively.

Elsewhere, Xu Damao was pacing back and forth anxiously. Learning that Cao Weiguo had again, again, and again achieved merit, his "green-eyed disease" was about to spread from outside to inside. His heart felt like it was growing grass; he couldn't sit still no matter what.

"Weiguo! Brother Weiguo! I've finally seen you! You've been so busy! I've been looking for you for a long time and couldn't find a trace of you!"

Finally cornering Cao Weiguo in the hallway, Xu Damao rushed up and grabbed his arm, refusing to let go.

Cao Weiguo disgustedly pulled away Xu Damao's claws, his smile very cordial: "Brother Damao, do you have something for me?"

Xu Damao smiled obsequiously: "Hi! How should I put this! Brother Weiguo! We grew up together; you should know what kind of person I am. I am full of hot blood, and justice flows in my bones. My family has been poor peasants for three generations, and my roots are red. As for me, my faith has always been firm. In order to clarify my stance, I even ignored worldly eyes and resolutely divorced that capitalist young lady Lou Xiaoe. You can see how high my awareness is..."

Cao Weiguo smiled: "Brother Damao, what exactly is the matter?"

Xu Damao rubbed his hands and said: "Brother Weiguo, no, Director Cao, look at my high awareness, and I'm full of justice, and my ability is not bad. Can you let me join the Committee, or the Workers' Inspection Team is fine too? I am irreconcilable with evil. I also want to fight against evil, and I also want to contribute to the revolution."

Cao Weiguo laughed heartily: "Hahaha! So that's what it is! Brother Damao, I can understand your desire to contribute to the revolution, but the great leader said that revolutionary work only has different divisions of labor, not high or low. Our comrades, regardless of rank, are all servants of the people. You are currently the Deputy Section Chief of the Propaganda Section, shouldering the heavy responsibility of guiding workers' thinking and learning, responsible for organizing, coordinating, and guiding the propaganda work of correct thinking, policies, and guidelines. The responsibility is heavy, and there are more places for you to contribute to the revolution than us, and you should contribute more. I suggest you do your own job well first. As for your wish to join the Committee and the Workers' Inspection Team, I will also convey it to the factory leaders for you."

Cao Weiguo said it nicely, but Xu Damao was jumping with anxiety, grabbing Cao Weiguo's arm and begging bitterly: "Brother Weiguo! You! How can you! Sigh! Let me tell you straight. Although I am the Deputy Section Chief in the Propaganda Section, my cultural level is limited, and the main work is the responsibility of the Section Chief. I am just a decoration in the Propaganda Section. I just want to join the Committee now, and I just want to charge into battle for the revolution. As long as you give me this opportunity, I will definitely devote myself wholeheartedly to the work. I am willing to be your horse and stirrup. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to catch a dog, I will never catch a chicken. Weiguo, I beg you, you must believe me, you must give me an opportunity to serve the country and serve the people! Don't worry, I will in the future..."

This Xu Damao, in order to climb up, was simply shameless. He was just short of recognizing Cao Weiguo as his foster father on the spot. What he said gave Cao Weiguo goosebumps all over. He really couldn't stand Xu Damao's pestering, so he drew a big pie for Xu Damao: as long as Xu Damao achieved merit, he would recommend him to join the Committee.

These words made Xu Damao act as if he had been injected with chicken blood, rushing out with red eyes to bite people... ===== CHAPTER 1397 =====
