Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Li Huaide said: "The people in the purchasing department were unable to purchase materials outside the plan, and instead resold the materials in the factory."

Although Li Huaide is the deputy director in charge of logistics, the head and deputy head of the purchasing department are all close confidants of Director Yang. Li Huaide tried to get his hands on the purchasing department several times but failed. He didn't expect that he would get something unexpected. If he loses Li Huaian, it would be very cost-effective to take over the purchasing department. Besides, before the leader came, Li Huaide had already informed the two factories. Even if there is trouble, Li Huaian will not be implicated.

At this moment, Director Yang cursed the ancestors of the Purchasing Department in his heart. Director Yang never thought that the Purchasing Department, which he had worked hard to run for so many years, would now be taken away by Li Huaide. Director Yang was so heartbroken!

After thinking for a few minutes, Director Yang asked, "What do you want?!"

Li Huaide said: "This is an infringement on the interests of our factory and must be severely punished!"

After listening to Li Huaide's words, Director Yang narrowed his eyes. If he followed Li Huaide's advice, except for the people in the first purchasing group, basically no one in the other three purchasing groups would be left. Even the chief and deputy chief of the purchasing department would be implicated. Director Yang said, "Deputy Director Li, isn't it inappropriate to do this?!"

Li Huaide said: "Why is it inappropriate?! If the workers in the factory knew what they did, what do you think?!"

Director Yang was dumbfounded. Although he had thought that Li Huaide would do this, when he heard Li Huaide say it with his own ears, Director Yang realized a problem that he had just overlooked. This fire might burn him. If he was fired because of this, it would be too cowardly.

After weighing the pros and cons, Director Yang agreed, "It's time to reorganize the purchasing department." Then Director Yang stood up, picked up the phone on the desk, and said, "Switchboard, connect me to the security department!"

Not long after, the voice of Zhao Lei, the head of the security department, came from the other end of the line: "Director Yang, what's the matter?!"

Director Yang said, "You and Huang Guofu come to my office right away."

"Yes!" Zhao Lei responded and hung up the phone.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door of Director Yang's office. Director Yang heard the knock and shouted, "Come in!"

Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Li Huaide was also there, Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu showed a hint of strangeness on their faces. Director Yang handed the record book to Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu and said, "Deputy Director Li found that the people in the purchasing department were reselling the factory's materials. Your security department is responsible for the safety of the factory, and you didn't find such a serious situation. This is your dereliction of duty. I will give you a chance to atone for your crime. Investigate the matter immediately. Catch all the termites in the purchasing department!"

"Yes!" Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu answered in unison and left Director Yang's office. Li Huaide saw that his goal had been achieved and there was no need to stay any longer. He said hello to Director Yang and left Director Yang's office.

After Li Huaide left, Director Yang was so angry that he wanted to strangle those people who resold the factory's products. Li Huaide left Director Yang's office and immediately caught up with Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu, whispered a few words in their ears, and then returned to his office.

Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu returned to the security department. According to Li Huaide's reminder, they personally checked the vehicle in and out records, and then checked the duty on the day the meat was shipped out of the factory. Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu quickly mobilized their own confidants and first controlled all the people on duty at the gate that day.

Huang Guofu was in charge of checking the people in the security department, while Zhao Lei led his people to the procurement department. Usually, there were few people in the procurement department at this time. But today, for some reason, almost everyone in the procurement department was there. The procurement department chief Bai Dajun and deputy chief Tong Dalin, who were chatting in the office, heard the noise and came out of the office.

Bai Dajun asked, "Old Zhao, what's the matter with you coming here with so many troops?!"

Zhao Lei said: "Chief Bai, your purchasing department is really great! You actually gave us a big surprise!"

"Surprise?!" Bai Dajun looked at Tong Dalin with a puzzled look, then looked at Zhao Lei blankly and said, "What's going on?!"

Zhao Lei said, "Your purchasing department has caused such a big incident, how could you, as the section chief, not know about it?!"

Tong Dalin said: "Old Zhao, what's going on?!"

Zhao Lei glanced at the people in the purchasing department, took Bai Dajun and Tong Dalin into Bai Dajun's office, closed the door, and told them what happened. After listening to Zhao Lei's narration, Bai Dajun and Tong Dalin's faces changed. Bai Dajun and Tong Dalin thought it was just some petty theft. They didn't expect it to be such a big deal.

Bai Dajun was the first to calm down and asked, "Old Zhao, how can we help you?!"

Zhao Lei asked: "Are all the people from the purchasing department here today?!"

Bai Dajun said, "I heard that they all came back to eat meat at noon today. No one has left yet."

Zhao Lei said, "I'm sorry to trouble you two today. You and the people in your department cannot leave the factory. Each of you must accept our investigation."

"Sure!" Bai Dajun and Tong Dalin looked at each other, and Bai Dajun readily agreed.

People in the purchasing department who really have backgrounds and connections will not do such things. Only those buyers who often hang out in the black market and like to take advantage of small bargains will do such things. As for the people in the purchasing department, others don't know who has connections behind them, but Bai Dajun and Tong Dalin know it best. Zhao Lei and the people in the security department first checked these people. After these people were found to have no problems, they released a group of people and continued to check the rest. As time went on, some of the buyers who were left behind began to be unable to bear it.

After a night of interrogation, Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu were shocked when they looked at the interrogation records in their hands. They all knew that the water in the purchasing department was deep, but they did not expect that the water in the purchasing department would be so deep. Although the security department was not under the jurisdiction of the steel rolling mill, the immediate superior of the security department in the steel rolling mill was Hao Shuji, not Director Yang. Early in the morning, as soon as Hao Shuji arrived at the office, Zhao Lei and Huang Guofu went to Hao Shuji.

After meeting Hao Shuji, Zhao Lei immediately told Hao Shuji what had happened. After listening to Zhao Lei's report, Hao Shuji pondered for a few minutes, weighed the pros and cons, and finally called Director Yang and Li Huaide respectively. Director Yang and Li Huaide, who had just arrived at the office, immediately left their offices after receiving calls from Hao Shuji.

Not long after, Director Yang and Deputy Director Li both appeared in Hao Shuji's office. Hao Shuji saw that they were coming, and without further ado, he directly handed the review report to Director Yang. Director Yang took the report, quickly scanned the contents of the report, and said in surprise: "Why are there so many?!"

Hao Shuji said: "Xiao Yang, they have been doing this since 1956. It's just that the supplies were sufficient at that time, so we didn't pay attention. Now it's not about what responsibility we should take, but how to solve this matter."
