59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

"Xiao Feng, are you here to sell meat?"

Chen Feng, carrying his schoolbag, rode his bicycle to the east gate of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Several security staff members at the gate immediately surrounded him.

"No, no, I came to give something to my dad."

Seeing that there was no meat in the car, the group of people were not disappointed. They asked him with a smile whether he had any plans to go up the mountain recently, whether he needed someone to help him carry the prey, etc.

Chen Feng smiled and said that it might snow soon, so they would not go up the mountain for the time being.

"Alright, what are you all doing here? Guard the gate. If you have nothing to do, go to the warehouse and check around. The thief from last time hasn't been found yet!"

Chen Jianjun walked out and said something.

Previously, a few internal employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill stole spare parts, but after the Security Department stepped up inspections, the matter was dropped.

The latter did not take any subsequent action.

But after a month or two, I couldn't help myself again.

"Are you here to send your sister to school?"

Chen Feng nodded and followed him into the office.

Noticing that there were a few people lying at the door, he didn't take out anything and just smiled and told her that Liu Guangqi was about to get married.

"You can borrow the bicycle, but forget about the motorcycle. Gasoline is too expensive. I asked your uncle Li for help to get you three pots. There's no need to use it for the wedding."

Chen Jianjun is not a fool. It is impossible for him to lend his motorcycle to the Liu family to welcome the bride just for the sake of face.

Your Liu family gained face, but my Chen family lost a lot of income.

A pot of gasoline is enough for Chen Feng to go to Tianjin City and bring back a few bags of seafood, or make two trips to the mountains and bring down a wild boar or something.

Of course Chen Feng would not agree. Even with Liu Haizhong's connections, it was impossible for him to get a pot of gasoline.

"I know. At most I can lend him a tricycle."

"But Liu Guangqi is not in good health. It would be tiring for him to pick someone up on a tricycle."

"That's not something we need to worry about." Chen Jianjun smiled and looked towards the door, scolding, "If you keep eavesdropping, I'll make you all go sweep the streets!"

In an instant, the gossipy aunties and old-timers at the door all ran away!

Chen Feng shook his head. His father was too soft-hearted. If he had a strong superior like the old man, who would dare to eavesdrop?

No wonder the old man suppressed his father's rank.

"Grandma asked me to bring you some bread."

I took out the omelet from my backpack, unwrapped it in wax paper, and it was still warm.

Chen Jianjun smiled and started eating immediately. When he saw the pear that Chen Feng took out, he didn't eat it but put it in the drawer.

He quickly finished the cakes.

Chen Feng sat in the office and made a pot of tea for Chen Jianguo.

The water comes from boiled water bottles in the office. In late October, when the weather turned cooler, everyone started to store boiled water.

Thanks to the barefoot doctor manual, people from all over the country are now accustomed to drinking boiled water to avoid parasites and bacteria and viruses.

"Is this the wild Biluochun you asked Hu Bayi and the other two to stir-fry?"

Chen Jianjun looked at the tea leaves in the cup and said with a smile, "I'm not your grandfather. There's no need to give me such good tea. You can exchange it for something else."

Chen Feng casually placed the remaining bottle of tea on his desk.

"It's just some tea leaves, not some watermelon or fruit."

He has no particular preference for tea; it's just water you drink, and the taste and all is pretty much the same.

In his heart, tea is not as good as watermelon.

Chen Jianjun put the bottle away and hid it in the innermost drawer. He said, "You are like me, you don't know much about tea. This is a good thing. Now is not like the past. We don't have to show off the etiquette of the noble families."

"But giving this thing as a gift to someone is more prestigious than giving a watermelon."

“It is better to treat guests to good tea than to treat them to watermelon!”

Chen Feng smiled and did not refute. He did not like the false etiquette of social interactions, but middle-level bureaucrats like Chen Jianguo who had already joined the company had to pay attention to that.

This can also be regarded as a kind of invisible rule. Those who do not follow the rules will inevitably be looked down upon, unless they are from a powerful background, which will affect their work.

"Guo Dahai, come out!"

Li Huaide's voice came from outside the door.

Chen Feng and Chen Jianjun were a little stunned. Li Huaide was not the kind of person who would be so arrogant to his colleagues!

This guy is actually quite good at being a human...official!

They are very good at trying to please their superiors, such as Director Yang; they make full use of the talents of the middle-level managers, such as Niu Gengshen; and they can also use the subordinates according to their value.

Of course, if it has no value to him, it’s okay not to offend him.

"Director Li, what are you talking about?" Guo Dahai was taking a nap in his office. When he heard the noise outside, he came out with a cold face.

He doesn't fall for Li Huaide's tricks.

Even if it is a transfer order, only the armed forces department has the authority.

"Why did you arrest Liu Lan, one of my men? Why did you ask me to come and pick him up in person?"

When Chen Feng heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart. Li Huaide was a very lustful person, and he was obsessed with sex.

Our charming ancestors have long said that a rabbit does not eat grass near its burrow. But Mr. Li just likes to eat grass near his burrow, and he doesn't care about the person.

The widow Liu Lan's appearance and figure were not particularly ugly, but at least they were very average.

This guy can actually eat it!

I have to say, these teeth are really good!

Guo Dahai said angrily, "The thief in the factory has committed a crime again and stolen something. In order to protect the factory property, our security department checked whether there were any problems with the workers entering and leaving the factory. Liu Lan insisted on not agreeing, so I had no choice but to catch him in there!"

Li Huaide knew why Liu Lan didn't let them check. Widow Liu came here to work to take over her husband's job, and she had to support her parents and children at home, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen into his arms so easily.

When Liu Lan went back home at noon, what she brought back was nothing but the "leftovers" from the canteen.

But it wasn't left after eating, but he specifically ordered it to be left before eating.

It is allowed to distribute the leftovers from the canteen to the people in the canteen and take them back, whether to eat them yourself or to share them with your family.

Just like the Railway Bureau, it is an unspoken rule to divide the materials brought back from other places every time.

However, Liu Lan didn't take leftovers, so she felt panicked.

In fact, he was a little afraid. If Liu Lan couldn't keep her mouth shut and told this matter, he, as the deputy factory director, would be embarrassed, so he started to suppress her right away.

"This matter has nothing to do with Liu Lan. She is a kitchen worker, so how could she have the chance to steal things from the workshop?"

"They can't be treated specially. Everything needs to be checked. How can we leave a loophole in the kitchen?" Guo Dahai said stubbornly.

This made it impossible for Li Huaide to step down.

Chen Feng looked at Guo Dahai and always felt that Uncle Guo was deliberately making things difficult for Li Huaide.

Chen Jianjun smiled and said, "Director Li, this matter can only be handled according to the law. You also know that the thief stole things again. Director Yang called us directly and asked us to dig it out this time."

"Well, since Director Li has come forward, let her write a self-criticism and forget about it."

They had checked the food and it was just a lunch box of meat and vegetables.

Well, they knew something about what happened in the cafeteria, so it’s okay for them to pretend they didn’t know.

But Guo Dahai couldn't help but feel unhappy with Li Huaide!

As a group of people working in security and prevention, how could they not know about the rumors that Lao Li was harassing female employees?
