Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Chapter 260 Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Liu Haizhong

The Spring Festival has passed in a flash, and it is time to go back to work;
Nearly half a month later, in addition to the birth of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's youngest child;
The compound was peaceful and calm, with basically nothing happening;

The restructuring of the steel mill has entered the final stage, and the leaders of various departments have basically been replaced;
In addition to key departments such as publicity, finance, personnel, logistics, and security;

The other leaders were not changed much, and the workshops were not moved at all;
On that day, there was a huge crowd in front of the office building, and banners were hung all around;
That’s right, the day has come when the steel rolling mill announces its restructuring!
In addition to Shi Lei, Yang Weimin, Lou Zhenhua, Zheng Kangzhan and trade union chairman Cao Pengfei, there were also three leaders from the Ministry of Industry sitting on the rostrum!

The conference was announced to consist of a main venue and five branch venues;

The office, kitchen, warehouse and other departments were in the main venue, and the workshops, teams, etc. were in five branch venues;
All members of the Security Department were mobilized to maintain order in the venue and ensure that the meeting proceeded in an orderly manner!
“Comrades, fellow workers, today is the day when the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is established;

This is a memorable day that will leave a deep mark in the history of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
Everyone knows that the past days were hard;

We, the workers, work very hard to earn a living, but our lives are still very tight.

But we cannot be scared by these hard days. We must have endless energy and hope for better days!
Now, our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill has been established, and this is our new hope;
The factory will introduce good equipment, and we will be able to work more smoothly in the future;

The work produced must be top-notch;

What does this mean? It means our wages will be higher;

The children in the family can wear new clothes, and the elderly can eat better meals;

If we work hard in this factory, everyone will be able to live a good life that we never dared to imagine before;
The fact that our steel rolling mill was able to become a state-owned plant is inseparable from the factory director, Comrade Lou Zhenhua;
When he was fighting for the chicken, he braved the front line to deliver supplies to us;
Now, all parts of China are entering a new upsurge of construction;

Comrade Lou Zhenhua once again took the initiative to donate the Lou Steel Rolling Mill;

What is this? This is enlightenment;
If everyone can be like Comrade Lou Zhenhua, wholeheartedly serving China and the people, then China will surely prosper;

Now, let us give a warm round of applause to thank Comrade Lou Zhenhua for his contribution;
I also want to express my determination to make the steel mill better and better to Comrade Lou Zhenhua!"

"Quick, quack, quack!"

The warm applause was louder and louder.
The leaders were very happy because the steel mill belonged to Shenzhou and they had a path to advancement;

The workers were happy because they had become public servants;
From now on, they will have the same treatment and status as the power plant;
Lou Zhenhua was very happy and announced his contribution in public. He said that all his goals had been achieved and he no longer had to worry.
I have to say that Shi Lei's speech was very inspiring. It made everyone happy and everyone got what they needed, without leaving anyone out!

At the same time, Shi Lei's speech was very down-to-earth. He did not say anything about "for China" or "for the people".
Tell the workers in words they can understand: if you want to live a good life, you have to work hard;

The better the steel mill, the better your life will be!
"Now, please allow Comrade Yang Weimin to announce the list of appointments to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"

After the applause died down, Shi Lei moved on to the second item, which was announcing the list of appointments!

“Comrade Shi Lei, Secretary of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill;
The factory director, Comrade Lou Zhenhua, and the deputy factory director, Comrade Xie Liang, are in charge of production;
Comrade Yang Weimin, deputy factory director, is in charge of logistics and security;

Comrade Cao Pengfei, Chairman of the Trade Union; Comrade Zhao Yongfang, Director of the Women's Federation;
Department: ;
Political Work Department: ;
Logistics Department: ;
Workshop 1 Director Xu Tiande, Workshop 2...;
The order has been read out. Everyone welcomes the leaders of various departments to take up their posts. This is both a welcome and a spur! "

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. Cai Qiuyue, deputy director of the Finance Department, He Yuzhu, director of the canteen, and the deputy director acting director were removed.
It was nothing before, but now I’m a public servant, and you can even say I’m an official!

There was deep regret in his eyes. If he had known this would happen, why did he do it in the first place?
If you listen to the deaf old lady, sincerity will be exchanged for sincerity;

Surely, I wouldn't have reached this point, right?
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. He suddenly lost confidence in his showdown with He Yuzhu;
The better the He family became, the more he regretted it;

Ever since Jia Dongxu's plan was exposed, every time he thought of He Yuzhu, a feeling of regret would surge in his heart;
Now, looking at the triumphant He Yuzhu, he wished he could find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
Why is he looking for tofu? It's because he cherishes his life and doesn't want to die!

Chun Nier, who was next to Yi Zhonghai, was also stunned. The first family in the courtyard should be the He family, right?

When she thought of the He family, she felt discouraged;
I don’t know if it’s fate or what;

She tried her best but failed to make a breakthrough;
Even though He Yuzhu's sister and Yu Shui ignored her;
He refused candy and only nodded without saying anything when asked.

She had never met such an impenetrable family before;
Back then, she was well-liked by people in the surrounding area, and was praised by everyone for being a good daughter-in-law.

Now, the other families in the compound are OK;

But facing the He family, she actually felt a strong sense of frustration;
Why did Qin Huairu become better and better after leaving the Jia family?
Wasn't it the He family that extended a helping hand at the most critical moment?

Look at Qin Huairu. Not only did she buy herself new clothes during the Chinese New Year, but her daughter also wore them like a doll.

Which woman in the compound wouldn't envy him? But what can she do?
He's getting paid 21 yuan, so can he spend it however he wants?

What about her? She still had to save money. Jia Dongxu left behind a huge debt of 6 million yuan, and she didn't dare to spend it recklessly.

Otherwise, his house might be taken back by Yi Zhonghai;

If you have to pay back 100,000 yuan a month for five years, it will be a huge pressure.
No, I heard the street office has a job to make matchboxes to supplement the family income;
When I got back, I asked Jia Zhangshi to get it. One matchbox cost fifty yuan, so one hundred would cost five thousand yuan.

By this calculation, we have to make 200 every day, which means 300,000 a month.

It's a pity that she didn't think about it. How could it be so easy to do 200 a day?

It would be better if Jia Zhang didn't stop for a moment, otherwise there would be almost no possibility of completing it!
Liu Haizhong was at the other end, and was also stunned. Wow, this couple is not simple;
Now it seems that his plan will also be put on the agenda;

If you do well, you may even be able to become a workshop director.
His ambition has already climbed from team leader to workshop director;

Xu Fugui sighed, knowing that he had done something stupid and was afraid that he would not be able to continue working in the steel mill.
I regret it now. Why did I get so blinded by the thought of bribing Yang Weimin?

If there is no bribe, there is still a 50% chance;

From the moment he stepped into Yang Weimin’s office, he would never have a chance again!

Turning his head to look at Xu Damao, his silly son was still happy for Zhuzi;

I am still young and don’t have such big ambitions;

He planned to devote all his efforts to training his son, and when he was ready, he would give his job to his son and find another way to make a living.
There were several cinemas in Beijing, and he had superb projection skills, so he had no trouble finding a job;
When you have some free time, go to those movie theaters and ask;
If you can, leave the factory;

When I separate from Damao, maybe I can get a house?
At the end of the conference, with the speech of the leaders of the Ministry of Industry, the founding conference of Red Star Steel Rolling Mill successfully concluded;

From now on, Lou’s Steel Rolling Mill will completely change its name!
He Yuzhu's Office
He Yuzhu called all the canteen leaders to his office to hold a meeting to unify their thoughts;

It saves those people who were just watching the fun and haven't changed their minds yet, which will cause problems;
Lou Zhenhua’s factory and the public factory are two completely different concepts and cannot be compared!

“You are all old friends, so I will be brief;

From today on, Lou's Steel Rolling Mill will be renamed as Red Star Steel Rolling Mill;
You have to remember that this is not as simple as just changing the name;
In simple terms, it means that the big boss has changed;

We are public servants. Although we have no rank, we are still public servants.
This means that everything in the cafeteria is public;

You must think clearly about the consequences of taking advantage of the public;

The recent inventory clearance and inventory check should give us some clues, right?
Our cafeteria was fine, but several people were fired from the warehouse;

It is said that the workshop has also fired several workers, which shows that the government has zero tolerance for theft;

This is only the case when the amount is not large. If the amount is larger, it is possible that you will be sent to jail.
Therefore, after returning, guard your own piece of land;

Take care of your own door and people, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless;

The operation mode of our canteen remains the same as before;
He Pengjun also needs to strengthen supervision and inspection, do you understand?"

The biggest problem in the cafeteria is the problem of stealing;

He Yuzhu knew that it was not easy for each family, but it was not easy to take public property either;
If you are caught stealing money, you will be fired;

If the amount is large, you will go to jail; if you try to gain small profits, you will suffer big losses. There is nothing wrong with pulling the reins in advance!
"Understood, Director!"

The five chefs nodded in agreement, and the heat in their hearts slowly subsided!

"Today is a big day, give everyone extra food, put 50 kilograms of pork in each canteen, and put more soybean oil. We only have so much, if we put too much, the warehouse will be in urgent need, so go back!"

It's not that He Yuzhu can't add a little more. Each canteen can add 50 kilograms, which is 250 kilograms, almost two pigs;

Pigs these days can’t be raised to weigh more than 200 pounds;
Nowadays, fat pigs are raised by eating pig grass, which are commonly known as black native pigs;

There are very few white pigs, and fattening them is even more impossible, so the supply is relatively small!

A day's work passed in the blink of an eye. When he got off work in the evening, He Yuzhu was blocked at the door by Yan Bugui!
"Zhu Zi, I heard that you became an official? Not bad;

I didn't expect that you would be the first official in our compound!"

Yan Bugui looked like a very nice young man, which made He Yuzhu laugh and cry!
"Uncle, are you mistaken?

How can I be an official? I don’t even have a rank. Aren’t I still a cook? "

He Yuzhu was speechless. It seemed like his status had been raised so much that he could get a higher rank if he went further!
"Hey, he's also a public servant, and he's in charge of a hundred or so people.

And Qiuyue is also very good, the deputy section chief said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, you two are this!"

Yan Bugui raised his thumb as he spoke, and sighed in his heart, “Three years;
In just three years, we have gone from being starving to our current state. I can’t help but accept it!
"Third uncle, you are too polite. I am still a person who settles accounts.
You are a teacher, so you should understand what the deputy section chief means, right? "

Qiuyue smiled slightly. This guy always flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. This won’t do!
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details!"

“What the deputy section chief means is that while the section chief is in office, you are still the same, a section member;
Only in the absence of the Section Chief can he/she act as Section Chief;
It is impossible for our finance department to be without a section chief, so it will remain the same as before!"

"How can it be the same? Wages can also go up, right?"

“Well, if you say so, I really can’t refute it;

Brother Zhuzi, let's go back and cook. We are all hungry!"

Qiuyue rolled her eyes and said, "Salaries must go up a bit, do I need to tell you that?"
"Okay, my dear, Third Uncle, in fact, this deputy position is almost the same as your position as Third Uncle;
You can figure it out slowly by yourself, haha..."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he and Qiuyue went straight into the house. Yan Bugui was completely confused!

He Yuzhu sent Qiuyue home and went out to collect rainwater. He was stunned when he saw Yan Bugui's dull eyes.
It was raining and school hadn't ended yet, so why was this old guy back? Did he leave early again?
"Teacher Yan, I have finally found the reason why you cannot get the advanced degree;
If you take the advanced title, don’t say that the teacher doesn’t want to, I won’t agree to it! "

“Zhu Zi, please explain your words to me clearly;

What does it have to do with you whether I get the advanced title or not? "

"Why is it not a problem? Shenzhou belongs to the people.

You are responsible for the arduous task of nurturing China's future;

Being late and leaving early everyday, and guarding the gate in the compound, what kind of behavior is this?

This is irresponsible not only to the students, but also to China and the people.

Do you think this has anything to do with me? Are we the masters of Shenzhou?"

"I...you..."

The corners of Yan Bugui's mouth trembled. He just left work a little early. Was it necessary to put on such a big hat?

He is a public official. What would happen if other people heard it?

This kid is full of bad intentions and is specifically throwing them at him!

“Hey, Mr. Yan, since I am also the master of Shenzhou, I naturally want to make Shenzhou better and better;

Starting tomorrow, I will fulfill my supervisory responsibilities;

Take a small notebook to record the number of times you leave early, hehe..."

He Yuzhu turned around and left. When Yan Bugui came to his senses and ran out of the door, he only saw the back of He Yuzhu riding a bicycle.
Silly Zhu, you are not a son, how dare you treat him like this;

He really has no good solution, it seems he has to be quiet for a while!

He Yuzhu laughed heartily while riding his bicycle;

The old guy guarding the door every day is awkward to watch, but it won’t scare you to death;
Maybe the compound has been too quiet recently, Qiuyue is pregnant, and can't go to Zhengyangmen for a stroll;
Without entertainment, I feel a bit bored;

It’s okay, it’s nice to tease the old stingy guy, just treat it as a fun thing!
night
He Yuzhu and the other three were just about to eat when Liu Haizhong came over with wine and cooked food!
"Zhu Zi, Chief Cai, I'll be there in a minute!"

Liu Haizhong thought the He family had finished their meal, so he came to socialize with He Yuzhu;
This is embarrassing. Although he brought food, it feels like he is just eating for free!

"Uncle, it's okay, come in and sit down!"

He Yuzhu was stunned, and seemed to have guessed what Liu Haizhong, the tool man, was going to do;
But it’s not nice to let someone go back like this, so don’t hit him!
"Okay, I'll sit for a while. I've eaten, so don't worry about me!"

Liu Haizhong was delighted. It seemed that Zhuzi was still the same Zhuzi and had not changed after becoming an official!
"Okay, wait a moment, we'll have a drink together later!"

He Yuzhu initially treated Liu Haizhong as a tool to deal with Yi Zhonghai's tool and tried to win him over;
But who knew that this tool didn't play much of a role, and Yi Zhonghai was almost played;

Seeing Liu Haizhong coming to his door, he didn't know how to respond!

If this person is good, then he is definitely not good, and can even be said to be a bad person;

But if we say it's bad, then according to He Yuzhu, it's not that bad!
Liu Haizhong in the play beat his children every other day, and was even told by an old deaf man that "unkind parents make unfilial children";
But, educating children in this era is so rough. Look at Xu Damao, he got beaten less often?
Don't listen? Just give him a beating.

Wasn't he the same in his previous life?
At that time, the family situation was not very good, and the boys were very naughty;
There is too much work and too few people, and it is annoying to watch them being naughty;

Is there a problem with Liu Haizhong? Of course there is;

But from what I’ve observed during this time, it’s not as excessive as in the show;
Liu Guangqi's departure must have dealt this guy a huge blow, which made him more harsh on the other two.

At this time, although Liu Haizhong would beat Liu Guangtian, he only spanked him a few times;

Liu Guangqi was placed high hopes by Liu Haizhong, hoping to become an official, thus fulfilling his dream;

How many fathers place their unfulfilled wishes on their children? There is nothing wrong with this;

But after Liu Guangqi got married, he supported the Third Front construction without telling Liu Haizhong, which was the factor that hit him the most;

As a result, he lost hope in the brothers Guangtian and Guangfu, which led to a violent fight, and this indirectly led to a strained relationship between father and son;
But when Liu Haizhong got old, none of the three brothers took care of him;
Come back when you have money, and see if you can get some advantage;

Not only did he run away without any money, he also took away the only stove;
It can be seen that these brothers are not good people either!

According to the perspective of the past life, people before the 1980s and 1990s might not be so unacceptable;

After all, they grew up without a rebellious period, and younger people would definitely not understand;
Because they are stubborn and disobedient, there is a better excuse, that is, they are rebellious children;
Experts also say that children in their rebellious period should not be disciplined too harshly, otherwise tragedy may result;
But He Yuzhu and others in their previous life did not have a rebellious period because they did not dare to have one. Their suicide rate was also not as high as that during Zhu Hui’s rebellious period. This is hard to understand!

As for Liu Haizhong's attitude towards Lou Xiao'e's family, he was just doing his job, but of course, it was a bit too much;

After a lifetime dream of becoming an official, the dream finally came true;
Liu Haizhong tried his best to show his abilities in front of Li Huaide;

Originally, this was nothing, as that was the ecology at the time;
But what he shouldn't have done the most was to enjoy Lou Xiao'e's welfare in the end;
If he had not enjoyed Lou Xiao'e's benefits, he might not have been so hated;
But on the other hand, what if we don’t enjoy the benefits brought by Lou Xiao’e?
None of his sons cared about him, only Sha Zhu was willing to support him;

You can't sleep on the streets or freeze to death under a bridge just for something unreal, right?

Better to live a miserable life than to die a good death;

In ancient times, disaster victims would eat their own children in order to survive.
Compared to these, what is Liu Haizhong?
In general, Liu Haizhong is not a good person, that is for sure, but he is not an unforgivable bad person either;
All I can say is that in the early stage, I did whatever it took to secure my future;
In order to survive in the later period, I had to be shameless, that's all!
