Chapter 934: Yuan Hua! Open the door for me!
Look! What did he say!
What evil intentions, what at a glance...
Oh my~ Could there be something between this kid and Gu Cheng?
Han Jiankun couldn't be sure of anything else, but he could be sure that this guy was a chatterbox!
This guy, from the moment the leader got in the car, the leader didn't say a word, but he started babbling.
Regardless of whether the leader listened or not, he only cared about saying how cautious he was, how he went deep into the enemy's rear, and how he stole evidence.
In Peng Xiaoli's passionate narration, he became a witty, brave, justice-guarding good young man and good secretary, while Gu Cheng was just a dispensable little follower by his side.
In one thrilling and dangerous action after another, he was undoubtedly the glorious, towering, and decisive protagonist.
While Gu Cheng was just a small supporting role who only appeared when necessary; even if he had a flash of brilliance, it was just to set off his strategic planning and winning thousands of miles away.
Han Jiankun really couldn't listen anymore; for the first time, he actively turned on the car radio, just wanting to drive quietly to send this chatterbox home, so he could go home with the leader.
The sudden broadcast interrupted Peng Xiaoli's narration and also interrupted Li Xuewu's train of thought.
Li Xuewu looked out the window; they were already in the city.
Peng Xiaoli looked at Han Jiankun resentfully, and seeing the leader didn't say anything, he also chose to shut up for the time being.
He wouldn't give up; he must finish telling the leader what he had done during this time.
The radio played Yu Haitang's voice; this was the Red Star Rolling Mill's broadcast, and also a traffic broadcast specially opened for the automobile project.
During this time period, it was mostly news and special song programs. Li Xuewu didn't care much, just asked Peng Xiaoli: "The evidence you mentioned, you handed it all to Director Yu, right?"
"According to your instructions, the evidence from the past few days, I handed it all to Director Yu."
Peng Xiaoli saw the leader mention this topic again and wanted to continue telling his 007 story, but unfortunately, his house was right in front of him.
"Goodbye, leader."
"Hmm, you've worked hard today."
Han Jiankun saw Peng Xiaoli get off the car and didn't even wait for him to stand at the door to wave goodbye to the leader. Just as the car door closed, he stepped on the accelerator and shifted gears, leaving Peng Xiaoli alone in the cold wind, stunned.
Li Xuewu looked at the front, laughed at Han Jiankun's small actions, and asked casually: "Everything went smoothly?"
Han Jiankun, who was driving, nodded and said: "The director said everything went smoothly."
"That's good, that's good."
Li Xuewu smiled slightly, tightened his clothes, looked at the lights of ten thousand homes, and just wanted to go home early to see Gu Ning and Li Shu.
He was thinking about his daughter, but Li Shu might not be thinking about him.
These days, her father wasn't at home, and Li Shu was going crazy playing; finally, no one was managing her.
Qin Jingru had to take care of housework, and when she was busy, Gu Ning was watching her.
But Gu Ning's education for children was completely in a free-range state; as long as Li Shu didn't hurt her body, she could play however she wanted.
If Li Xuewu was at home, he would definitely set rules for his daughter.
Toys couldn't be thrown randomly, they had to be put away after playing, she couldn't play with toys while eating, and she couldn't put everything in her mouth...
Anyway, Li Shu didn't like the days when her father was at home, feeling that he was always restraining her.
She liked the feeling of running barefoot in the room unscrupulously under the sunset, even if she often fell down.
When the child was a year and a half old, how naughty could she really be?
I don't know about other people's children, but when Li Xuewu entered the house, he saw his daughter sitting in a flower pot "stepping on flowers."
"Oh my ancestor!"
Qin Jingru opened the front door; she didn't pay attention when she went out in a hurry, but when she entered the door, she found that this little troublemaker had started again.
"You just ruin these few pots of flowers of your mother's; when they are all ruined, see if your butt gets a board."
"Flower!"
Li Shu didn't know what happened yet; she was picked up from the big flower pot by her aunt, still holding a green leaf in her hand.
She still remembered the vocabulary taught to her by her grandmother and aunt when they took her to the garden in the summer.
It's just that she mistook the green leaf for a red flower~
And she had a bit of a lisp and didn't bite the pronunciation of the words accurately.
"Father!"
The filial daughter Li Shu suddenly found her father appearing at the door, looking at her helplessly, and pretended to be happy to want a hug.
Qin Jingru didn't dare to let her run to Li Xuewu covered in dirt.
"Go, capital punishment!"
She said to Li Shu while gesturing to Han Jiankun: "I'll give the child a bath here; it will be done in a moment, you go wash your hands and set the table first."
Han Jiankun was her soldier, and what she said had to be listened to!
Whatever she told him to do, he had to do; if he dared to be a second late, wait for her to nag you when you get home.
So he didn't wait for Li Xuewu to be polite and hurried into the kitchen.
Seeing his appearance, Li Xuewu smiled; wasn't this also a kind of happiness between husband and wife?
There are many kinds of happiness; some people like the noise of arguing, and some people like watching the noise of others arguing.
Gu Ning was obviously the latter; she wasn't reading, just sitting on the sofa, watching Li Shu play, watching Qin Jingru busy.
Li Xuewu entered the house, her gaze was gentle as before, pursing her lips, silence better than a thousand words.
Li Xuewu took off his coat, changed into leather shoes, walked to the side of the sofa, touched Gu Ning's hair, and smiled slightly.
Gu Ning curled the corners of her mouth, looked up at him, and a flash of beauty crossed her cheeks.
"Was it very hard?"
Li Xuewu sat beside her, smiled and leaned his ear to stick to Gu Ning's belly, but was pushed away by her shyly.
"It's only been a week, haven't you heard it already?"
"A week can be very different."
Li Xuewu said very seriously: "Maybe the ears and mouth have grown out now; let me listen if he has anything to say to me."
Gu Ning knew he was talking nonsense, resisting him from messing around, husband and wife were okay upstairs, but there was a pair downstairs.
She was also worn out by Li Xuewu and had no choice; she was a doctor, but she was constantly fooled by Li Xuewu with various pseudo-medical knowledge.
According to Li Xuewu, the child in the belly had already learned addition and subtraction within 100.
He would talk nonsense with a straight face, always wanting to mess with her, taking the opportunity to get close.
"Father!"
Li Shu took a refreshing bath, changed into clean clothes, and was carried out by her aunt.
Seeing her father was sticking to her mother over there on the sofa, she couldn't help but shout loudly.
Children are born with possessiveness; the family must center on her. How can her father not love her when he comes back, but love her mother instead!
Li Xuewu stood up helplessly, took his daughter from Qin Jingru's arms, and asked: "What are you looking for father for? To get that beating just now?"
"Want~"
Li Shu didn't care about the words she didn't want to hear at all, pointing her little hand at the boxes placed at the door that Han Jiankun had just moved in.
She knew that every time her father came back, he would bring her something delicious or fun.
As long as she hadn't seen her father for a few days, these things would be there.
Fresh, fun, she, Li Shu the Great Demon King, had to see them first, touch them first.
"What do you want, you just finished taking a bath, you want to ruin your clothes again, right?!"
Qin Jingru looked at her with a threatening look, pouted and said: "This is the last bath today, you are not allowed to get it dirty before going to bed!"
"Otherwise..."
She deliberately gestured a fist at Li Shu with a fierce expression, and then walked to the kitchen.
Li Shu looked at her entering the kitchen blankly, then turned to look at her father, pointed her little hand at the door, and said: "Want!"
Fine! ~
No matter how much Qin Jingru said, it was all in vain; it was still that principle: as long as Li Shu didn't want to hear it, she would pretend not to hear it.
Li Xuewu didn't dare to let her mess with those boxes; they were all meat and specialties.
"Tell father, have you been obedient at home, have you been bothering mother, have you been deliberately annoying your aunt?"
Li Shu didn't care about this at all; anyway, as long as she didn't speak, it wasn't about her.
Her big eyes rolled around, and her attention was still on those boxes at the door.
Her father didn't take her there, and she didn't say anything anymore; anyway, there was still plenty of time before going to bed, as long as she caught the opportunity...
"Time to eat~"
Qin Jingru's voice came from the kitchen, and then Han Jiankun walked out to take the child in Li Xuewu's arms.
Li Xuewu waved his hand, walked to the side of the sofa to support Gu Ning, who was heavy, and the family entered the dining room.
Knowing Li Xuewu was coming back, they had prepared in advance: four dishes, one soup, meat and vegetables matched, nutrition balanced.
It was mainly to take care of Gu Ning's taste; there was no garlic flavor in the dishes, light salt and less sugar, so it tasted a bit bland.
Afraid that Han Jiankun and Li Xuewu wouldn't be used to it, Qin Jingru specially got a small dish of fried sauce and some dried vegetables.
Li Xuewu really liked this, and Han Jiankun was the same; both of them used frozen cabbage and frozen radish to eat.
Qin Jingru wasn't satisfied that they looked down on her craftsmanship, constantly talking about them, eat more vegetables, eat less sauce.
"It's really something, having vegetables but eating sauce."
"Goes well with rice."
Han Jiankun was concise and comprehensive; although he talked back, he still obediently picked up hot vegetables to eat.
Li Xuewu ate frozen dried vegetables and asked casually: "Are there still cabbage and radish?"
"Plenty to eat~"
Qin Jingru said while feeding Li Shu: "If you go on business trips like this, our reserve vegetables will definitely be left over~"
"Hmm hmm, already paying attention."
Li Xuewu nodded with a smile and said: "Thank you for taking care of the family; when you have time, take a vacation and go back to your hometown with Jiankun to see."
"I won't go back~"
Qin Jingru curled her lips and said: "Not to mention the cold winter and heavy snow, it's exhausting, and what's the point of going home."
She had opinions about her family, especially the scene her father made when she got married, almost ruining the marriage.
After marriage, she only went back once when Han Jiankun returned to the door; two months had passed, and she hadn't gone home again.
She was really able to hold on; she didn't go back to her hometown, and she didn't go to visit her sister Qin Huairu's house; she just ran between home and here.
Actually, married women in this era were about the same; their range of activities was basically the neighbors, and they rarely ran to their mother's house.
Especially those who lived near their sisters, some in-laws were relatively taboo about this.
Why?
Because they were afraid, afraid that the daughter-in-law would move things to her mother's house.
Don't use the thinking of later generations to consider this era; at this time, living materials were really a very precious thing.
Rice, flour, grain, oil, vinegar, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, meat; those who often go to relatives' houses to visit, if they don't carry something in their hands, how can they be embarrassed.
Especially going to poor relatives' houses, they treat you well, you feel bad in your heart, they don't treat you well, they feel bad in their hearts.
So in these years, visiting is just neighbors, and they are all old people; basically, they don't dare to stay for a meal.
Like Li Xuewu, who was used to a wealthy life, he really didn't know the suffering of the people for a while.
Qin Jingru understood him; the family never lacked clothes and food, and they didn't lack meat, eggs, and milk, so it was inevitable that they would have this idea.
Actually, putting it on her, wasn't it for this reason that she was more willing to stay here.
Even if the in-laws had strength, but without the backbone of the father-in-law, who would dare to eat anything randomly.
It's different here; in order to supplement Gu Ning's nutrition, even if it's winter, the vegetables and meat Li Xuewu brought back are always there.
What Gu Ning can eat, she can eat.
What Li Shu can eat, she can eat.
They all say she has gained a lot of weight in Li Xuewu's house; with the virtue of eating whatever she wants, can she not be fat?
Let her go back to her hometown to recall bitterness and think about sweetness, she won't go!
She had already planned it; even if she gave birth, she had to catch up before Gu Ning's second child, and when the time came, she would bring the child here, and it would be done!
This position in Li Xuewu's house is surnamed Qin, her Qin Jingru's Qin!
No one can take this good job away!
"I'm really tired of this rotten job!"
Yu Haitang threw the broadcast script just sent by the station manager on the table, throwing a temper angrily.
Yuan Hua walked in carrying a thermos just filled with hot water, looked at Yu Haitang's face and asked: "What's wrong again?"
"It's the station manager!"
Yu Haitang frowned and said: "What are these!"
As she spoke, she pushed the manuscript in front of her and complained to Yuan Hua: "If this continues, the factory will be in chaos!"
"Shh~!"
Yuan Hua looked out the door cautiously, then turned around to remind: "Didn't I tell you, don't just say whatever comes to your mouth!"
As he spoke, he picked up the manuscript on the table and read it, and also comforted: "Don't worry, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up; no need for you to worry."
"What kind of talk is this~!"
Yu Haitang said dissatisfiedly: "You don't see it, or you don't hear it; you don't understand what the manuscript they sent means?"
"Understand, how can I not understand."
Yuan Hua put down the manuscript in his hand, pulled off the desk lamp on the desk, and said understandingly: "I'm not a fool; what's there not to understand, isn't it just usurping the throne."
"Pfft~"
Yu Haitang curled her lips and said: "Really raised them; I think it's just a villainous act, despicable and shameless."
"Hmm hmm~ You say whatever you want~"
Yuan Hua helplessly tapped the manuscript on the table, looked at Yu Haitang and asked: "It's to be broadcast tomorrow morning; aren't you preparing?"
"Prepare what?"
Yu Haitang stood up her eyebrows and said: "I have endured so many days; the leaders are back, and I will not read this manuscript."
As she spoke, she pulled the manuscript from the desk and gestured to Yuan Hua to see, saying: "Do you think Director Li is such a person?"
"This..."
Yuan Hua hesitated and said: "We are not factory leaders, and we can't contact the ones above..."
"Then aren't you a person of the Rolling Mill?"
Yu Haitang patted the manuscript in her hand and said angrily: "You don't know how much change Director Li has brought to the factory since he presided over the work?"
As she spoke, she stood up again, approached Yuan Hua and said: "You don't know how much welfare treatment Director Li has planned for our staff?"
After speaking, she pointed her finger at Yuan Hua's chest and accused: "The seafood and fruit in the summer were all eaten into the dog's belly."
"I'm just persuading you~"
Yuan Hua was so wronged by her, helplessly pointing at the documents on the table and saying: "It's the station manager who forced us to read it, not us voluntarily."
"So I won't read it."
Yu Haitang looked at Yuan Hua and said: "I don't believe Director Li fled in fear of crime, and I don't believe that the things he did were for his own selfish interests."
"And you!"
She pointed her finger at Yuan Hua and said: "If you say insincere words because your aunt stands on their side, I will never pay attention to you again in my life!"
"I... what are you saying~"
Yuan Hua was forced to the wall by her, and said with a bitter face: "I am me, my aunt is my aunt, why are you pulling this~"
"It's good that you can understand it this way."
Yu Haitang raised her eyebrows and said: "Now I give you two paths to choose from: either stay and help me, or ask for leave and go home."
She stubbornly raised her hand and gestured toward the door, saying: "I absolutely won't force you to do things; you ask for leave and go home, I'll be on duty tonight, this matter has nothing to do with you."
"Don't~"
Yuan Hua looked at Yu Haitang and said: "We are partners, how can I leave you alone here."
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Haitang turned back to behind the desk and said lightly: "I don't want to implicate you."
"What are you going to do!?"
Yuan Hua chased to the front of the desk, looked at Yu Haitang's determined face and persuaded: "You must not do stupid things; this matter has nothing to do with us; I am very worried about you."
"Don't~"
Yu Haitang curled her lips and said: "I'm not anyone to you, what are you worried about?"
"Haitang, don't you understand my heart yet?"
Yuan Hua said pitifully: "For you, I am willing to pay everything, really!"
"Then stay and help me, don't regret it."
"Then stay and help me; don't regret it."
"I have endured Shan Nanqi for so long, just to wait for this day!"
She said fiercely: "Either he dies, or I die!"
"Haitang!"
Yuan Hua excitedly held Yu Haitang's fist and comforted her: "It's not worth it, we can't do stupid things! You can't beat him!"
"Who said we are going to fight!"
Yu Haitang shook off his hand, rolled her eyes and said: "I'm talking about a desperate fight, making him lose his reputation and never be able to turn over."
Yuan Hua was frightened by her words and grinned, how could it be getting more and more serious.
"What exactly do you want to do, can you tell me?"
Yu Haitang pointed to her side and said: "Stop broadcasting this manuscript!"
"Good! No problem, I support!"
Yuan Hua had an expression of "I'm going all out" and said: "Just say I lost the manuscript, the responsibility is all on me!"
What a licking dog!
Unfortunately, Yu Haitang's appetite is too big!
"And these, these, and those."
Yu Haitang pointed to the piles and piles of manuscripts on the desk sent by Shan Nanqi and said: "Don't broadcast them in the future; we can't help the evildoer and destroy the great development situation of the Rolling Mill."
"... Are you serious?"
Yuan Hua looked at Yu Haitang in horror, really not knowing if she was crazy or what, daring to go against the station manager publicly.
Yu Haitang nodded very seriously and said: "I said, either he dies, or I die; if you are afraid, leave now."
"Look at you, why are you always talking about death and dying."
Yuan Hua's heart was beating like a drum, but his mouth was still vague: "No wonder you have been abnormal for the past few days; Old Shan gave you these manuscripts and you read them."
"I just said it was impossible."
He looked at Yu Haitang strangely and said: "You just got the project promised by the leader."
"What are you talking about!"
Yu Haitang rolled her eyes dissatisfiedly and said: "It has nothing to do with this; I am for the leader, for the overall situation of the Rolling Mill!"
"Good~ Good~ Good~"
Yuan Hua saw her getting angry again, hurriedly raised his hands to surrender and said: "Overall situation, overall situation is important!"
Yu Haitang saw his appearance, curled her lips with contempt, and said: "Give you one last chance, you can ask for leave and go home, I absolutely won't implicate you."
"How can that be! You are doing such a big thing alone, how can I be at ease!"
Yuan Hua held Yu Haitang's hand again and said seriously: "Even if I lose my job and get fired, I want to be with you~"
Yu Haitang was annoyed by his appearance and rolled her eyes, but didn't pull back her hand, curling her lips and saying: "Don't regret it."
"Don't regret it, definitely don't regret it!"
Yuan Hua held Yu Haitang's hand with both hands, as happy as if he were swearing at a wedding ceremony.
But before he could think about where his future children would go to primary school, he saw Yu Haitang pull a hammer out of the drawer.
"Haitang, what are you doing!"
Yuan Hua looked at her in horror, grabbed the hammer, and said: "You must not be impulsive; killing is against the law!"
"Go away!"
Yu Haitang scolded: "I'm asking you to seal the door!"
As she spoke, she pulled her hand back from the other party's hand and found a pile of door latches from the drawer.
"Here! You go and install these on the door!"
Yu Haitang pointed to the door and said: "Tomorrow morning, I must ensure that no one can enter this door during my broadcast."
Yuan Hua looked at the hammer in his hand blankly, then looked at the door, and only then did he know his role.
Tools, people, tools, right?
"What are you still doing? Go!"
Yu Haitang urged: "Why? Don't you want to be closed in a room with me, share weal and woe, and suffer together?"
"Willing! Willing!"
Yuan Hua, who was originally hesitant, was explained by Yu Haitang, and all his concerns disappeared.
What could be more exciting than being sealed in a closed space with his goddess!
How rare is this opportunity; just thinking about it makes him happy!
He now believes in love more than anything; what station manager, what aunt, now there is only Yu Haitang in his eyes!
I want to build a tomb to bury each other!
Oh~~~~~
Just thinking about it makes him feel that he is too talented, too fucking poetic!
December 6th, Saturday.
Li Xuewu saw the agenda of the "Correction Conference" from the work briefing as soon as he went to work.
It was very obvious that this was a big meal prepared for Li Huai De who returned from a business trip last night.
Unfortunately, Li Huai De was one move ahead and ran away in advance, making these people play a trick on him in vain.
Without Li Huai De, this dish still had to be stewed.
Otherwise, the work group coming down would not be famous or righteous; if there was really a Mount Tai pressing down from above, it definitely wouldn't be to mess with the factory first, but should be to operate on Li Huai De first.
Therefore, this game Cheng Kaiyuan fell into a void and didn't calculate Li Huai De's old cunning.
Peng Xiaoli made a report in the form of a document briefing on the news collected recently.
Li Xuewu looked at it while listening to him talk about key issues.
"The incident in Macau is said to be very serious and has already affected the economic trade in some regions, especially..."
"Ignore this for now."
Li Xuewu waved his hand and said: "Foreign trade won't start until next year at the earliest; observe it later."
"Yes."
Peng Xiaoli nodded and registered in his notebook, then reported: "The enlarged meeting above will end today, and some newspapers are already blowing the wind."
He said this and signaled the excerpt content on the briefing to Li Xuewu, saying: "The meeting listened to the report on the industrial and transportation symposium and discussed and passed the 'Ten Regulations on Grasping Reform and Promoting Production'."
"But the wind direction in the newspapers is a bit wrong; some leaders have opinions on the current focus and guiding ideology of industrial and transportation work."
Peng Xiaoli looked at Li Xuewu worriedly and said: "The university study activity seems to have the risk of expanding."
"Hmm, understood."
Li Xuewu frowned and looked at the newspaper excerpt, already having the answer in his heart.
And at the whole factory staff representative meeting held at 9:00 AM, this argument was particularly high.
"... Just burying your head in work, not knowing to look up, who are you working for!"
The one presiding over the meeting was not the leader of the Rolling Mill, but a member of the work group who came to "guide" the Rolling Mill a few months ago.
Yes, they came again.
Sitting on the front stage of the meeting were Feng Daozong, Peng Yonghong, Xiong Bencheng, Cheng Kaiyuan, and Jin Liangcai.
The one speaking was Peng Yonghong, deputy director of the Ministry of Industry, with his hand raised high and his voice very loud.
"Look at you one by one, what have you turned the Rolling Mill into!"
"Grasp production! Promote reform!"
"Grasp production! Promote reform!"
Buzz~~~~
Because of his speech, a burst of low-voice discussion started among the staff below.
"Look at the Rolling Mill now, full of evil winds and evil spirits, focusing on economy, production, and trade; do you still want the hat of the organization!?"
Peng Yonghong patted the table and said: "Today's whole factory staff representative meeting is to kill this evil wind and correct this unhealthy trend!"
Li Xuewu, who was sitting in the first row, looked at him spraying saliva very calmly, even if his finger pointed at himself again and again.
Pointing at the mulberry and scolding the locust was light; Peng Yonghong almost spilled all his resentment toward Li Huai De on him.
It was only because he was worried that Li Xuewu was still wearing another set of clothes, otherwise he
It was only because he was wary that Li Xuewu was still wearing another layer of clothing that he didn't go full-throttle today.
Unlike their pathetic, scurrying retreat in July, this time they had come prepared, determined to bring earth-shaking changes to the Steel Rolling Mill.
Look at what a perfectly good Steel Rolling Mill has been turned into now.
Making cars, making ships, and damn it, even wanting to make household appliances—this is just pure chaos!
They haven't even done a good job with the steel rolling industry, yet they are single-mindedly pursuing crooked paths and devious schemes, acting recklessly for their own selfish interests.
In the subsequent speeches by employee representatives, Deputy Head of the Security Group Chu Yougong, Deputy Head of the Production Group Chen Shuyi, and Deputy Li Kezhang of the Propaganda Section Yuan Xiumei each delivered critical remarks.
Chu Yougong started by speaking about the blind obedience and silence in security work, criticizing the chaotic structure of the Security Group, the fact that the lead supervisor was not in the capital, the person in charge was not at their post, and that those in security were meddling in economic affairs—it was all complete nonsense.
He also criticized the current "Great Learning" environment at the Steel Rolling Mill from the perspective of security, stating that awareness was inadequate, learning was inadequate, and ideological understanding was inadequate.
They had mistakenly followed the direction and leadership of Li Huai De and others, missing the best opportunity to carry out the "Great Learning" activities...
In his speech, Chen Shuyi pointed out that Li Huai De had long ignored the organizational development of production units, blindly pursuing economic benefits and hindering the bottom-up environment for production reform; he was a capitalist through and through...
In her speech, Yuan Xiumei stated that the propaganda work at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had always been wrong, failing to follow objective facts, failing to abide by organizational regulations, failing to respect mass supervision, and running contrary to the essence of propaganda.
Departments including the broadcast station, the factory newspaper, and the cultural propaganda team had long deviated from the correct leadership of the organization, failing to correctly guide and promote the right work ideology; they were the mouthpiece of Li Huai De's small clique and a narrow product of individualism...
They are intellectuals, after all; just look at how these words are spoken—incisive and profound.
If Li Huai De were on the scene, he would probably stand up and get into a shouting match with them.
Because when it comes to really throwing around vocabulary, Old Li might not necessarily be able to out-talk her.
Setting aside stance and facts, even Li Xuewu felt that this was a propaganda expert with rich experience and profound knowledge.
It's a pity; her loyalties are misplaced, so the words coming out of her brain are just nonsense.
Feng Daozong took the microphone, provided a detailed critique of the three cadres' speeches, and then, starting from three different angles, spoke about the development issues of the Steel Rolling Mill.
"The problem does not lie with the vast number of employees; the employees have all been deceived by Li Huai De's small clique."
"The problem also does not lie with the Steel Rolling Mill; the history and development of the Steel Rolling Mill are correct and beyond question."
"Where does the problem lie, then?"
Feng Daozong looked at the crowd and said: "The root of the problem lies in the fact that the leadership team of the Steel Rolling Mill has not truly grasped the dialectical relationship between production and reform."
"I am not denying production, but I want to speak even more about today's reform."
He tapped his finger on the table and said very seriously: "It is precisely because of the wrong decisions and wrong ideological guidance of Li Huai De and others during the 'Great Learning' activities that so many development problems have appeared today."
"The Steel Rolling Mill is a production unit within the organizational plan, not Li Huai De's big toy to do with as he pleases!"
"Foreign trade—this is aiding the enemy! What kind of behavior is this!"
"Chaos!"
Feng Daozong slapped the table and said: "They haven't even sorted out their own affairs at home, yet they are engaging in joint factories, foreign cooperation, and even technology imports!"
"In my view, these are all traitorous acts! It is disloyalty to the organization..."
As he spoke from above, waves of discussion had already erupted in the audience below.
Even if the sound of the speakers drowned out the discussions, the mid-level cadres sitting in the front could still hear clearly what they were discussing.
The focus of the venue's attention fell collectively on Li Xuewu; with Li Huai De absent, he had become the rock facing the crashing waves.
The calmer Li Xuewu's expression was, the louder the discussions at the scene became, and the louder the criticisms from the stage grew.
It was as if waves from all directions were trying to destroy Li Xuewu, who was identified as a member of Li Huai De's small clique.
Yet, despite these people saying so much, mentioning how Li Huai De was this or that, or how the people in the Economic and Trade Office were this or that, no one dared to name Li Xuewu and criticize him directly.
The meeting proceeded in this eerie and intense atmosphere, with some cadres' eyes shining brightly, looking forward to the arrival of a new world.
Other cadres were indifferent, hanging back and preparing to watch the spectacle.
More people were listening to the speeches on stage with furrowed brows; they knew better what the Steel Rolling Mill was experiencing and what it was encountering.
The reason they could remain calm, persist in listening to the meeting, and know that the sky wouldn't collapse was that Li Xuewu was still in the front row.
So many projects were managed by Li Xuewu and were pushed forward under his leadership; if the projects ran into trouble, then Li Xuewu would also be in trouble.
But that is the crux of the problem!
While the people below the stage didn't dare to say Li Xuewu had problems, did the people on the stage dare to say it?
Just as Feng Daozong finished his speech and proposed at the end to re-elect the Management Committee, Peng Yonghong took over the topic again.
He first praised Director Feng's advanced ideology and his grasp and understanding of the "Great Learning" activities, then emphatically introduced the excellent qualifications of Cheng Kaiyuan, Deputy Director of the Steel Rolling Mill Management Committee.
In his speech, Peng Yonghong clearly stated that he highly agreed with Director Feng's viewpoint and unanimously believed that Comrade Cheng Kaiyuan had the ability and the seniority to take charge of the Steel Rolling Mill...
*Buzz~~~ buzz buzz~~*
His speech had only just reached the halfway point when the microphone suddenly exploded with sound, losing control, and his voice no longer came through the speakers.
And just as a clamor arose in the venue, the piercing noise in the speakers vanished.
Peng Yonghong on stage frowned and tapped the microphone in front of him, testing the sound with "hello, hello."
Staff members had long been directed to go and check the situation, but just as they climbed to the second floor, they heard the broadcast station's announcement coming through the speakers.
"Good morning, listeners. This is the Red Star Radio Station. We are now interrupting with a news bulletin..."
"What is going on!"
Deputy Li Kezhang of the Propaganda Section Yuan Xiumei turned grim-faced, waving her hand to signal the staff on-site to hurry to the upstairs control room to find the cause; someone must be making trouble.
The employee representatives on-site all realized something was wrong; it seemed a problem had occurred.
They had finally caught a spectacle; one by one, they craned their necks to watch the expressions of the leaders on stage, the panic inside the venue, and the expressions of certain people.
This damn thing was much more interesting than watching a movie!
The broadcast from the speakers continued: "First, we will read a letter written by former factory office secretary Zhou Yong to Deputy Director Wang Zongli."
Yu Haitang's voice was very magnetic; to the ears of the crowd, it felt like the spectacle was getting bigger.
"To Deputy Director Wang: From the small vehicle team, it is understood that Li Huai De has been using vehicles frequently recently, traveling multiple times to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Trade to report on work... Gu Weijie uses vehicles less; special trips have only been to the West City Detention Center twice, with nothing else... Xue Zhifu's vehicle usage..."
Listening to the reading on the broadcast, the crowd was in an uproar, and Zhou Yong, sitting in his seat, had his expression change drastically.
The leaders on stage were panicked, waving their hands frantically to signal the cadres below to hurry and stop this crazy broadcaster.
Good heavens!
The eyes of the employee representatives on-site all fell on Zhou Yong in the front row; was he monitoring the factory leaders?
And then, the letters on the broadcast became even more stimulating.
There were mentions of who had contacted which leader for support, and who had connections with which leader, promising to cooperate when the time came, and so on.
There was also a letter written to Secretary Yang Yuansong, mentioning that they would definitely act according to the Secretary's instructions and would resolutely do this or that.
There were also arrangements made by Chen Shuyi for workshop cadres to compile materials, Chu Yougong complaining to a certain leader, and several important cadres writing letters to Feng Daozong on stage to ask for instructions.
It was too chaotic; because it was a broadcast, Yu Haitang was reading only the important parts.
Finally, she played her trump card: a recording of Chen Shuyi, Chu Yougong, Wang Zongli, Xiong Bencheng, and others discussing how to eliminate Li Huai De's influence and how to divide up the management power of the Steel Rolling Mill after the reform of the Management Committee.
The recording was specific to a certain person, a certain position, and even the background and connections of that person.
What made the ears of the employee representatives on-site explode the most was that the recording even discussed stopping the residential area project under construction and pushing the responsibility onto Li Huai De.
No one was listening anymore to the remaining discussions on how to dismantle the projects under construction, cash out the funds, and how to get the Steel Rolling Mill on the right track.
The scene fell eerily silent, and all the scrutinizing gazes of the employee representatives were fixed on the stage.
As a leader of the Steel Rolling Mill, Xiong Bencheng, sitting up there, truly experienced what it felt like to be on pins and needles.
Cheng Kaiyuan was also a leader of the Steel Rolling Mill; although his name wasn't mentioned in the recording, his face turned white and then black.
Precisely because the whole venue had gone silent, the sounds in the ears of the employee representatives became even clearer.
The broadcast even transmitted the sound of banging on a door, as well as the shouting of the broadcast station head, Shan Nanqi.
By now, everyone knew that Shan Nanqi was trying to stop the broadcast.
"Yuan Hua! Yu Haitang is crazy! Are you going crazy along with her!"
It was clearly heard on the broadcast: "Yuan Hua! Open the door for me!"
"Do you know what you are doing!"
"I know!"
Yuan Hua's broken voice came through the broadcast: "I am guarding justice! Guarding the Steel Rolling Mill! Guarding Director Li! Guarding my love!"
"I'll fuck your ancestors!"
Shan Nanqi was truly driven mad by him, kicking the door hard and cursing: "You have shit for love with Director Li! Guard your damn love!"
"Do you know! Your aunt Yuan Xiumei is on which side, damn it! You bastard!"
"You don't need to remind me!"
Yuan Hua turned his head to look at Yu Haitang, who was broadcasting, smiled happily, then braced the cabinet piled against the doorway even harder, and shouted loudly: "I am me, and Yuan Xiumei is Yuan Xiumei!"
"Since our political stances are different, then let's sever our ties; from now on, we go our separate ways!"
"I will always stand on Director Li's side, always stand on the side of justice!"
