Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Things like this cannot be delayed. There is a saying that goes "The longer the night, the more dreams there are." This is exactly what it means.

Lu Jianbang picked up the red phone on the table. It was a confidential phone, used to communicate with department-level leaders to prevent eavesdropping and recording.

"Hello, switchboard, please connect me to Minister Liu of the Ministry of Industry."

The call was quickly connected, and a steady voice came from the other end.

"Which one?"

"Old Liu, I'm Lu Jianbang,"

"Oh? Lu Jianbang, you are a rare guest. You have never called me in your life. Tell me, what's the matter?"

They are all old comrades who have been through life and death together. There is no need to be so pretentious. They come up and ask what's going on. This is a friendship of life and death.

"'Old Liu, do you remember Zhao Yuchu, the director of the Second Steel Rolling Mill?'

Minister Liu paused for a moment before saying,

"Zhao Yuchu? I remember him. What's wrong? You old man, don't you never use the back door? What's wrong? Are you going to use the back door to let me promote him?"

"Alas, they really did ask you for help through the backdoor. Now your department's working group is at the steel mill, and their first order is to temporarily suspend Zhao Yuchu's work on trumped-up charges..."

"What?" Minister Liu's voice rose eight degrees: "Nonsense, the steel mill is now the top priority of our Ministry of Industry, especially the Red Star Steel Mill and the Second Steel Mill. They are also responsible for making steel for aviation materials.

I can't even protect him, how can you remove Zhao Yuchu from his position? This is really nonsense."

Lu Jianbang said,

"Originally, this is your Ministry of Industry's internal affairs, and it's not my turn to interfere. However, Zhao Yuchu is a relative of mine, and I can't ignore it."

Minister Liu slammed the table on the other end of the phone. These former military warriors all had a problem, which was protecting their own people. When Lu Jianbang said that Zhao Yuchu was his relative, Minister Liu immediately looked up to Zhao Yuchu.

"Okay, Lao Liu, since this is your department's business, then let your department handle it. I'm just giving you a heads up."

Minister Liu cursed,

"Damn Lu Jianbang, you're always like this, you start a fire and then run away. Let me tell you, I've done this for you, you owe me a drink, do you hear me?"

Lu Jianbang said contemptuously,

"I know, drunkard, just wait for me to knock you down at the table."

There was only one curse on the other end of the phone.

"Get the hell out of here! Who the hell is crawling under the table?"

He hung up the phone. Minister Liu was a military man and always paid attention to speed in doing things. He picked up the phone and

"Hello, switchboard, connect me to the Second Steel Rolling Mill..."

The call was connected quickly.

"Hello, this is Liu Ming, asking the team leader Lin Zheng to answer the phone..."

After a while, there was a panting sound from the other end of the phone. It was obvious that someone was running.

"I'm Lin Zheng, who are you?"

Minister Liu suppressed his anger and said,

"I'm Liu Ming, Lin Zheng, what are you doing? I asked you to lead the team to conduct an investigation. Who allowed you to arbitrarily suspend a department-level official? Who gave you the right?"

Lin Zheng said quickly,

"Minister Liu, this Zhao Yuchu has a problematic history. Someone reported that he was captured by the enemy in 41..."

Liu Ming interrupted him.

"Is there any evidence?"

"No, not yet..."

Minister Liu cursed angrily.

"You are kidding me. Let me ask you, where were you in 41?"

Lin Zheng was stunned when he heard this.

"When I was 41, I was still attending university in Southwest China,"

"Is that so? You were in the southwest in 41? Did you ever come into contact with the Military Control Commission or the Central Control Commission?"

"No, no..."

"No?" Minister Liu sneered: "Then how do you prove it?"

Lin Zheng was so frightened that he trembled all over and sweat poured down like rain.

"Minister Liu, please, don't joke..."

Liu Ming smiled contemptuously.

"Look, I can easily find a lot of false charges like this anytime, anywhere, but you have to spend countless hours to prove it."

Lin Zheng didn't dare to speak.

"Comrade, if you have something to say, just say it. If you have evidence, present it to convince others. Don't use empty talk. Just because a provincial-level cadre tells you to suspend him, you can suspend him?

Have you ever considered that the steel mill is the lifeblood of the nation's economic development? The State Council has repeatedly issued orders that the campaign must not disrupt production, but what did you do? You're using those same tactics to bully people again. It's fine to use them, but you need evidence.

Since you have no evidence to prove that Zhao Yuchu was arrested by the enemy, you want to harm him just based on a big Z newspaper? I tell you, I, Liu Ming, will never agree to this. This is what I said. You can report it to your superiors.

But, you want to use a trumped-up accusation to frame someone? Then I’ll frame you first! "

Liu Ming was a military man, and he looked at the problem directly. He immediately pinched Lin Zheng's lifeline, especially when he asked, "Have you ever had contact with enemy spies?" You, Lin Zheng, said no, but Minister Liu said yes. Who do you think the higher authorities will listen to? This goes without saying.

Lin Zheng said hurriedly,

"Minister Liu, this is... this is what Vice Minister Li meant. I, I am just following orders..."

"Go to hell with Li Zhenwu! Are you so desperate to seize power? Do you want to control several steel mills so that you can take credit for it? Dream on!"

You can tell Li Zhenwu what I mean and ask him to stop targeting the steel mill. If the steel mill delays production, I will make sure you all bear the consequences..."

"Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong, Minister Liu. I will correct it immediately. I will notify Zhao Yuchu to come back to work."

"I don't care what your next action plan is. The only thing is, if you have evidence, you can proceed. If you don't have evidence and production is delayed, you will be held fully responsible."

The phone call was disconnected. Lin Zheng's entire body looked as if he had just been pulled out of the water. Next to him stood Ji Ping, the deputy leader of the working group.

Ji Ping vaguely heard the content of the phone call. He was so happy, especially when he saw Lin Zheng in such a mess. He felt like he had eaten two popsicles in the dog days of summer. He felt cool and happy.

There is no good person in this officialdom, Ji Ping deliberately asked,

"Team leader, what's wrong with you? Who called?"

This made Lin Zheng so angry that he almost threw up, but he had no choice but to answer, so he swallowed his anger and said,

"It was Minister Liu. Zhao Yuchu found Minister Liu through some unknown connection. Minister Liu gave clear instructions that we can only proceed if there is evidence. If there is no evidence, we will let it go for now.

We are still investigating what happened to Zhao Yuchu in 41, but we have to reinstate his job first."

Ji Ping pretended to be surprised.

"How can that be possible? Where will our work group's reputation be?"

Lin Zheng gritted his teeth and said,

"Let's get back to work first. We'll talk about Zhao Yuchu later..." He walked away dejectedly.

Ji Ping curled his lips and cursed Sui softly:

"Now, let's see if you can still show off? Do you think that you can act like a tyrant in the ministry just by relying on Deputy Minister Li?

Don’t forget, it’s not yet the turn of Vice Minister Li to head the Ministry of Industry…”

Half an hour later, Zhao Yuchu received a notice asking him to go to work. Zhao Yuchu was both happy and surprised. He understood that Dabao had definitely contributed to this matter. He never thought that one day, this child he loved would be able to help him. Moreover, Dabao had already driven to Fangshan...
