The conspiracy of the courtyard

Indeed, compared with the country's industrial development and stable social order, the personal interests of a few workers are indeed not worth mentioning. Lu Zixuan lowered his head and said nothing, without refuting.

While thinking, Lao Chen's gentle and steady voice came out again:

"Child, I understand the anger in your heart. People are all emotional, and it is human nature to empathize with the weak. But you must remember that no matter when and who you are dealing with or what you are dealing with, as long as you invest your emotions, you will be biased and make mistakes.

Apart from strangers we have never met, the people who surround us the most are bystanders who go with the flow; the people we hate the most are opponents with different ideas; the people we are most willing to get close to are supporters who share common interests.

Therefore, the factions you see are actually a two-way choice between leaders and allies. If there is no benefit, who will promote you, support you, and stand by you? "

Old Chen couldn't help but shake his head and gave a bitter smile.

“There is no right or wrong, no good or bad person, only different standpoints and perspectives. Once you understand the true meaning, you will understand that cadres are also human beings with animal nature - selfishness and greed.

Fighting for profit is animal instinct, there is no solution!

If you want to have the right to speak, strengthening yourself is the only way.

Where in the world is there any selfless service to the people? It is nothing more than that I devote all my efforts to protecting the interests of the people in exchange for their help in consolidating my position…"

For a long time, when Lu Zixuan was still savoring this philosophical remark, he heard Lao Chen sigh deeply and said slowly again:

“I don’t know why you are involved in these things, I just hope you don’t cross my bottom line.

The day after tomorrow I will lead a team to the countryside to audit the implementation of the "Three Selfs and One Contract" policy. Since Zhao Saner's hometown is the Xianjin Commune and the Xianjin Brigade, let's start there.

Go back and decide on the route and time, and let Chen Qi tell me."

Hearing this, the sadness between Lu Zixuan's brows disappeared immediately, and he left quickly after expressing his sincere gratitude...

The next morning, Chen Ping first ordered Xiaohua to prepare her statement and materials, and rushed to the only way back to the village with her young son, ready to "block the road to redress grievances"; she also gave Zhao Saner the same instructions, and then ordered him to find other innocently fired workers according to the prepared list and address, and discuss other matters.

"Son, will this cause trouble for you and Lao Chen? Xiaohua and I are just close neighbors, and we don't have a deep friendship. It feels a bit unworthy to give so much."

Chen Ping said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Lu Zixuan stopped writing with his pen, looked up at Chen Ping's worried eyes, smiled to comfort her, and explained:

"Don't worry, this isn't just for you, there are other plans."

First, with the tacit understanding between Lao Chen and Lu Zixuan, there is no need for Xiaohua to over-interpret the situation, Lao Chen, the disciplinary inspection cadre, can legitimately intervene in the steel mill's irregularities;

Secondly, the dismissed workers who were arranged for Zhao Saner to contact were carefully selected, not only because they suffered injustice in the factory, but more importantly, the people who replaced them were all placed by Director Yang's faction. This created the illusion that Director Yang's faction was being targeted.

In such a hurry, all the workers and protection cadres involved in the violations will inevitably take action and reveal more loopholes.

Before Lu Zixuan could explain everything, Chen Ping was overjoyed and praised:

"Yes, as long as we break the balance and let them fight among themselves, more dirty things might be exposed at that time. The superiors will have to intervene even if they don't want to. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of work vacant. Maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity to fight for a job, so that Sister Guihua won't be jealous of those women who have jobs every day, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Son, you are so smart!"

Lu Zixuan held his forehead helplessly and replied softly: "Well, as long as you are happy!"

If the plan was so simple, Lu Zixuan wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

How could someone who could climb to a leadership position in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China be as superficial as Chen Ping imagined? With a little reflection and finding the actual beneficiaries, one can detect this clumsy scheme.

At that time, there will be a huge backlash!

Lu Zixuan's confident and determined gaze once again fell on the names circled on the paper...

The next day, when it was almost time to get off work at noon, Lu Zixuan, who was dozing on a stone bench a hundred meters away from the steel mill gate, opened his eyes slightly and watched a two-wheeled column of more than a dozen bicycles coming to the steel mill and lined up neatly on the east side of the gate. He smiled knowingly and thought to himself: Here they come!

While Lao Chen was negotiating with the security personnel, Lu Zixuan quickly joined the "vindication" team that arrived on foot and walked side by side with the "victim" Xiaohua.

The signboard of the Discipline Inspection Department is quite valuable. Soon, the senior leaders of the steel rolling mill, headed by Director Yang, came to greet them in person and arrived at the factory gate at the same time as Lu Zixuan and others.

After a brief greeting and introduction, Lao Chen, along with several representatives of the masses including the "victims" Xiaohua and Lu Zixuan, were invited to the factory conference room.

After everyone was seated, Lao Chen took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and placed them on the table, his expression solemn and straightforward:

“Let me briefly explain to you the purpose of my sudden visit today.

In accordance with the instructions from our superiors, when we went to the village to audit the implementation of government policies, we received a report from the family of Comrade Zhao Saner, an employee of our factory, stating that the various departments of the steel rolling mill had ordered Comrade Zhao Saner to stop working without any investigation and had already arranged a replacement based on an unfounded letter of complaint.

We suspect that there are violations such as deliberate persecution and secret deals, because similar situations have occurred in other units recently. Due to the violations and indulgence of individual cadres, several serious mass incidents have occurred. Therefore, the higher authorities attach great importance to this matter and ordered us to investigate it thoroughly. I hope that all factory leaders will understand my abrupt trip today. "

Hearing this, Director Yang, who was smiling warmly, was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought, and glanced at Deputy Director Li who was calmly drinking tea beside him, and said in a distant tone:

"Director Chen, I know a little about the report against Comrade Zhao Saner. I also discussed the contents of the report letter publicly at the middle-level meeting of the factory. Everyone agreed that there is no smoke without fire. Therefore, Comrade Zhao Saner was asked to cooperate with the Personnel Department and the Security Department to conduct an investigation that day. Later, due to the heavy production tasks in the factory, I did not pay too much attention to it.

Deputy Director Li, I remember that you were in charge of this matter. Could you please tell the disciplinary inspection comrades about the details? "

Deputy Director Li looked displeased, his eyes swept across the other factory leaders present, and then he put down his water cup heavily, cleared his throat and was about to speak, but another person stood up hastily and interrupted him:

"Dear leaders, excuse me for interrupting you.

Director Chen, hello! My name is Ren, and I am temporarily in charge of the factory personnel section chief. The masses reported that Zhao Saner had seized his job, and the leaders gave it to me to investigate. I will report this to the leaders.

He paused, and seeing that no one objected, Section Chief Ren continued:

"After receiving the investigation task, we asked Comrade Zhao Saner to cooperate with the investigation in the security department according to factory regulations and retrieve his employment information, but he was not very cooperative and kept avoiding talking. No matter how hard we persuaded him, he just wanted to go home as soon as possible to take care of his elderly family members and his wife and children.

We thought that this was a tacit attitude. After careful consideration, I took the initiative to issue him a notice of suspension of work, asked him to go home and reflect on himself, and told him to find ways to prove himself. All of this was documented by witnesses and in writing, as well as Zhao Saner's signature and fingerprints.

I understood that if he had reported the matter truthfully to the factory at that time, according to the regulations, he would not only be fired but the entire factory would also be informed, which would have cut off his chances of finding another job.

Out of sympathy among coworkers, I deliberately delayed the reporting time, hoping that he would make good use of this time and find another job.

I sincerely apologize to all the leaders for bringing disaster to the factory today due to my selfishness. Here, I would like to make a severe self-criticism and ask for punishment! "

Section Chief Ren's sincere admission of his mistakes really touched all the leaders present, who shook their heads and sighed...
