Siheyuan: Married Lou Xiao'e at the beginning

This is where Mao Xu truly admired Sun Xiaoshan. Even before the Lou family moved away, it was still difficult for them to get extra food.

However, this son-in-law replenished their food four times within a month, each time providing two to three hundred kilograms. Now their family has no shortage of food at all.

The brothers under him no longer have to worry about food.

But he did not reject Sun Xiaoshan's kindness, because in this era no one would complain about having too much food at home, only those who think their own family does not have enough food.

Sun Xiaoshan was awakened by Mao Xu's words. He still had a long time to prepare and should not be so worried.

After returning to his office, Sun Xiaoshan began to deduce the people he could meet in the steel mill.

"Wang Sheng from the third workshop is a bit reckless, but he is polite and righteous, and we can get along with him."

"Mr. Wang already knows me and we have a pretty good relationship."

Thinking of this, Sun Xiaoshan made a sketch on his notebook.

"The director of the fourth workshop, Wang Kai, is a righteous man who is careful and prudent in his work. The relationship between the two is pretty good, and they have a lot of people on their side to maintain it."

"Lin Dong, the director of the fifth workshop, is a narrow-minded, insidious and difficult to get along with."

He drew a cross on Lin Dong's name. He had to be careful with this person and at least not let him get any evidence against him.

"Zhou Xiang, the director of the sixth workshop, is a cautious person who is good at getting along with everyone. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a two-faced person. Such a person should not be made a close friend."

Such a person should either be killed with one blow or never offended.

But when he did the math, he was stunned. He had been here for almost a year. What on earth had he done? He just drank tea and read newspapers every day.

Now, apart from the head of the personnel department, the head of the finance department, and the director of the technical department, he doesn't know any other leaders.

At most, I only met the directors of 9 out of 6 workshops. I don’t know who the deputy director is.

He had no knowledge of the factory office, publicity department, warehouse department, security department, and purchasing department.

It seems that there is still a lot for him to do and understand, and he still doesn't know much about this steel mill.

He was even not very clear about the three logistics departments: purchasing, warehousing, and security.

He was wondering what he had done. He was supposed to make connections, but he only looked at their department.

"Mao Xu is from the security department. He's just a small team leader. The position is too low. It seems that we need to use our connections to help him get a promotion."

Mao Xu was just a small member of the Security Department and could only be considered a section officer. He belonged to the cadre establishment but was not a real cadre.

The higher Mao Xu's position, the more help he will get. However, he can forget about being the chief of the security department. Getting him a team leader should be a supplementary issue.

After saying this, he looked at the large office outside and found that only Tian Jin and Liu Shuang were there.

He grabbed a handful of melon seeds, walked over and sat down in front of the two of them.

Looking at the two people with worried brows, he spoke.

"Two team leaders, have you encountered any problems? Why don't you talk to me, the section chief, and see if I can help you?"

In fact, the two of them came back just to tell Sun Xiaoshan these things, but they had never found a good reason and didn't know how to start the conversation.

But now that Sun Xiaoshan has spoken, if they don’t say anything, they won’t know what to say.

"Chief, the thing is, the people in the security department have been checking very strictly recently. They check very carefully the things we take out. This has affected our work and mood."

Things like cement, sand, bricks, etc., there is nothing to check about them.

This is obviously looking for trouble and making things difficult for myself. It seems that my existence threatens the interests of others.

"I remember that we used to report accounts with Director Li every month. Which link has gone wrong now?"

In other words, every month they gave a portion of their profits to Li Huaide, so the people in the security department never made things difficult for them.

But the people from the security department suddenly attacked them, so there must be something fishy.

He didn't think anyone would attack them for no reason.

After he said this, Tian Jin and Liu Shuang seemed to remember something. They slapped their heads at the same time and Tian Jin spoke.

"I forgot. Deputy Director Li Huaide is not in charge of the Security Department now. Instead, he is in charge of the three rectification workshops 456."

"The Security Department is now in the hands of Director Liu"?

It turns out that the person in charge has been changed, and we have to pay homage to the leader all over again. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in such a small factory.

"What is the relationship between Director Liu and Section Chief Zhong?"

"Chief Zhong seems to be Director Liu's brother-in-law."

It's still nepotism, which is really difficult to deal with. But the more it's like this, the less trusted such people are.

"Chief, there is another possibility, that is the food that the people in our department brought home. We have no shortage of food at home recently, at least we can have enough to eat."

Liu Shuang's words made Sun Xiaoshan a little confused. Is there anything wrong with them being full? Should they go hungry?

Seeing that Sun Xiaoshan was puzzled, Liu Shuang started to explain again.

"Nowadays, it is difficult for every household to have enough to eat, but we suddenly have so much more food. They must think we have made a lot of money."

It seems that he was oversimplifying things.

In fact, we can't blame Sun Xiaoshan entirely. He didn't understand how important food was to people of that era, so it's normal that he couldn't understand this kind of thing.

After hearing this, Sun Xiaoshan understood that it was the grain he had taken out that aroused others' suspicion.

"I'll go back and tell my brothers to be more discreet when they eat."

Sun Xiaoshan shook his head slightly. Since the seed of doubt had been planted, it would grow bigger and bigger and slowly sprout.

If it is not removed in time, it is likely to cause a disaster.

"I'll go talk to Chief Zhong. You guys wait for my news and do what needs to be done."

After saying that, he staggered to the Security Department, which was not in the office building.

Instead, it is a separate two-story building, which houses the security department's dormitories and office buildings. The security department has more than 2 people.

They are represented by a section chief and two deputy section chiefs respectively, and these security personnel are now armed with real guns and are comparable to the security guards of the future.

They have the right to fire guns in the steel mill, so whoever controls the security department is equivalent to controlling all military force in the factory.

"Chief Sun, how come you have time to come here?"

Not everyone can enter the Security Department’s building, and I was stopped by a security guard.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to them.

"Brother Li, come and have a smoke. Is your Section Chief Zhong here?"

This Brother Li is the one who often guards the main gate, so they know each other.

"Chief Zhong is here, please go up. It's the third room on the second floor, turn left."
