Chapter 697: Father and Son
Red Star Sihe Academy
Third Mother poured a cup of plain water and handed it to Yan Yan Fugui: "Hey, don't be happy too early. Old Yi has stepped down, but the ones who got the big advantage are Liu Haizhong and Xu Xu Damao. You didn't get any benefits. Also, look at what our family has become. You can't let the children call the shots all the time. Don't you see, it's not you calculating them anymore, it's the children calculating you every day."
Yan Yan Fugui took off his glasses and wiped them with the corner of his clothes, saying helplessly: "The eldest is now a rebel, like Liu Guangtian from Old Liu's family, walking sideways in the courtyard all day, crashing around. Can I afford to provoke him? And the second one, Yan Yan Jiefang, and the third one, Yan Yan Jiekuang, are all little leaders of the school Red Guards. Which one can I afford to provoke? Sigh, just endure it!"
Just as they were saying this, Yan Yan Jiefang and Yan Yan Jiekuang walked in wearing green military uniforms and green military caps, shouting: "Mom! Is the food ready!"
Third Mother: "I haven't had time to make it yet, wait a while."
Yan Yan Jiekuang said while picking up a thermos to pour water: "Mom! Do you know! Cao Cao Weiguo's sister-in-law, that one named Song Song Yulan, has joined the army!"
Third Master asked in surprise: "Really or fake?"
Yan Yan Jiekuang: "How could it be fake? I saw with my own eyes Cao Cao Weiguo sending Song Song Yulan away in a small jeep. She even had a big red flower on her chest; it looked so grand."
Yan Yan Jiefang sighed: "Sigh! When one person gains the Dao, the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! You say! Why doesn't our family have such a capable relative?"
Third Master said unpleasantly: "Envious! Why don't you go recognize Cao Cao Weiguo as your godfather? Maybe he can arrange a good future for you too."
Yan Yan Jiefang: "Dad! What nonsense are you talking about! Cao Cao Weiguo is only a few years older than me, how can he be my godfather? Besides, even if I wanted to recognize him, he wouldn't want to."
Third Master glared: "Hey! You stinking kid! You really want to recognize Cao Cao Weiguo as your godfather! You shameful thing! Don't eat tonight!"
Yan Yan Jiefang pointed to the badge on his chest: "Dad! Do you know what you are saying? I am a rebel now! Now, regardless of old or young, regardless of father or son, we are all revolutionary comrades! Your old feudal patriarchal style doesn't work anymore! You dare not let me eat! Then don't blame me for rebelling against you!"
Third Master was so angry he couldn't speak: "You! You! You!"
Third Mother hurriedly said: "Alright! Stop talking! Why are father and son fighting! If it gets out, people will laugh! I'll go make food right now, everyone has a share."
Yan Yan Fugui was angered by his son, and Liu Haizhong didn't have it easy either.
Even though he was now a small team leader of the inspection team, he couldn't control Liu Guangtian, who had been "heavily used" by Cao Cao Weiguo.
After Cao Cao Weiguo returned from his business trip, he promoted Liu Guangtian to be a small team leader of the Industrial Correction Team, the same level as him now.
This made Liu Guangtian stand up straight and compete with Liu Haizhong at home.
Liu Guangtian asked while eating scrambled eggs: "Dad! A few days ago you went to check the Old Dong family. Among the things taken from the Old Dong family, was there a cup about five or six centimeters tall, carved with flower petals?"
Liu Haizhong said without raising his head: "What's wrong? Why are you asking this?"
Liu Guangtian: "Director Cao asked me to ask. Just tell me if there is one."
Liu Haizhong: "Yes."
Liu Guangtian's eyes brightened: "There really is! Dad, where did you put that cup!"
Liu Haizhong raised his head and stared suspiciously at Liu Guangtian: "What does it have to do with you where it's put?"
Liu Guangtian said anxiously: "Dad! Don't ask about this! This is confidential, I can't say! Just tell me where you put it, or bring it out for me tomorrow."
Liu Haizhong sneered: "Liu Guangtian, do you know what you are saying? That thing is now public property; is that something you can just move?"
Liu Guangtian said in a low voice: "Dad! What if I say that thing is wanted by Director Cao? Can it still not be moved?"
Liu Haizhong's expression changed: "Director Cao? You mean Cao Cao Weiguo wants that cup?"
Liu Guangtian hurriedly said: "I didn't say that. Dad, don't get to the bottom of this matter. Knowing too much is not good for you. Besides, it's not like you haven't done this kind of thing before. Don't you know the ways of this? Besides, that cup is just a drinking object, it's not worth much. You can take it out easily, and there will be benefits for you."
Under the guise of working on his career, the Liu father and son had taken plenty of opportunities to skim off the top.
And many people were doing this kind of thing.
From top to bottom, it could be said that everyone knew it.
If you want to say who took the most in the factory, it was definitely the number one person, Director Li.
Gold bars, gold and silver jewelry, jade... as long as it entered the factory, it had to pass through Director Li's hands.
As for the rest, everyone had to get a little bit of oil, otherwise, who would work so hard and desperately?
Cao Cao Weiguo was the Deputy Director of the Committee and the head of the Logistics Department.
Although he rarely led teams to raid houses himself, and the movement wasn't particularly active, his position was there, and his power was there. Even if he didn't go down to the field himself, he couldn't be missing out on what he should have.
Liu Haizhong stared straight at Liu Guangtian: "Guangtian, Dad knows you are a young cadre promoted by Cao Cao Weiguo, but I hope you can distinguish between close and distant. He is your leader, that's true, but I am your dad, you are my biological son, your elbow can't turn outward. Tell Dad, what do you know? Is that cup an antique? Is it that Cao Cao Weiguo wants that cup himself?"
Even if Liu Haizhong knew that Cao Cao Weiguo had contributed to him becoming a team leader, for the sake of his own future, he didn't mind grabbing Cao Cao Weiguo's handle and stepping on him to climb up.
Liu Guangtian pulled a cold face: "Dad! What are you saying! Did you misunderstand something? I will tell you clearly, this matter has nothing to do with Director Cao. Since you are unwilling to make things convenient, then forget it. However, I advise you to think twice and not make mistakes due to temporary confusion. You can be ungrateful, but you cannot be without self-awareness."
"Bang!"
Liu Haizhong slammed his hand on the table: "Is that how you talk to your elder! I am your father! You rabbit! Don't think that just because you are a cadre, your wings are hard. Don't think that Cao Cao Weiguo is really good to you; he is just using you. In his eyes, you are just a running dog. Don't think Cao Cao Weiguo can cover the sky with one hand in the Rolling Mill, and don't think that following Cao Cao Weiguo will get you good food and drink. I tell you, above Cao Cao Weiguo are the Deputy Factory Director and the Factory Director! The number one person in the Red Star Rolling Mill is Director Li! Guangtian, if you are of one heart with Dad, help Dad earn merit, and when Dad becomes a big leader in the future, can I not promote and cultivate you, my own son? I advise you to see the situation clearly and not be deceived and used by Cao Cao Weiguo."
"Dad! I also advise you to leave a line in everything, so we can see each other in the future. What you said today, I'll let it go in one ear and out the other, as if I never heard it. Take care of yourself, I'm full."
Liu Guangtian put down his chopsticks and stood up with a cold face to leave.
Liu Haizhong was so angry he threw his chopsticks on the ground: "Unfilial son! Unfilial son! How did I give birth to such an unfilial piece of trash! I am your father! You dare not listen to me! You will definitely regret it in the future!"
