Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

come back to the office.

It was almost lunchtime, and Jiang Quan, Luo Qingfeng, and Gu Weijie were chatting and joking together.

As soon as Fang Yuan entered the room, the relaxed atmosphere immediately turned solemn.

Seeing this, he didn't pretend to be aloof. He immediately joined in with a smile, gave each of them two oranges he had just bought, saying that it was a special gift from Section Chief Sun. Then he told a few jokes and instantly became one of them.

Seeing that it was almost time, they each grabbed their lunchboxes and headed out together.

Just then, Qian Jianing and two other female colleagues from the Second Comprehensive Section also came downstairs.

Fang Yuan greeted them and then they walked together toward the cafeteria.

The group chatted and laughed as they walked, and Qian Jianing would occasionally join in the conversation.

Fang Yuan glanced at her casually, and she seemed to sense it, a slight smile appearing on her lips, her high ponytail swaying with her light steps.

After lunch, everyone returned to the office for a nap.

As the work bell rang.

Sun Daxing summoned the three section chiefs of the Supervision Section to his office.

Since the three departments of Fangyuan were reorganized, the work content of the three departments needs to be readjusted.

The final division of responsibilities for each section is as follows: Section Chief Zhang Shijie is responsible for: all administrative departments, the coking plant, the laboratory, the coal mine...

Section Chief He Pengfei was in charge of: the steel mill, the food factory, the soft drink factory, the canteen, the workers' club...

Fang Yuan was mainly responsible for: the steel rolling mill, the ice cream factory, the guesthouse, the thermal power plant, the hospital, and the school.

Most of the places he was in charge of were taken over from He Pengfei, the second section chief, so He Pengfei was somewhat unhappy when he heard Sun Daxing speak.

But he also knew that Fang Yuan had completed the assistance and supervision of the steel rolling mill as soon as he arrived, so he couldn't say anything more and could only obediently accept the arrangements.

He Pengfei felt a little better when Fang Yuan politely offered him cigarettes several times.

At least on the surface, Fang Yuan still gave him enough face.

Back in his office, Fang Yuan gathered everyone together and assigned them tasks: Gu Weijie was in charge of the thermal power plant and ice cream factory; Luo Qingfeng was in charge of the steel rolling mill; Jiang Quan was in charge of the guesthouse; and Wang Qian was in charge of the hospital and school.

Finally, Fang Yuan said, "Assigning each person a corresponding unit is just to give you a focus in your work in the future. It doesn't mean you only need to be responsible for the content of this line. I still maintain that our three inspection teams are a collective. When there are difficult tasks, we still need to work together to solve them."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Fang Yuan kept Gu Weijie behind alone.

The situation with thermal power plants is relatively complicated. The current quota of anthracite coal used is planned and allocated by the higher authorities, but the reality is often quite different because Hongxing Steel Plant is a major electricity consumer and many machines cannot be shut down at will.

Therefore, for every sound policy from above, there is a countermeasure from below.

The steel mill will coordinate with other affiliated units, such as swapping iron for coal or coal for electricity.

Once coordination is established, the scope of operation becomes very large, requiring the inspection department to conduct inspections frequently. The scope of inspections is not limited to the power plant but also involves many departments in the logistics department. Therefore, Fang Yuan needs to specifically instruct Gu Weijie that if any problems are discovered in the future, they must be reported before being investigated.

Fang Yuan explained in detail, while Gu Weijie took careful notes.

After the two of them went through all the relevant issues, Fang Yuan took Luo Qingfeng out the door again.

The two went to the steel rolling mill first, and after learning that Niu Dazhuang was a worker in the third workshop, they hurriedly went to the third workshop.

Fang Yuan secretly glanced at Niu Dazhuang, who was polishing steel bars, through the doorway. He looked to be around thirty-five years old, and his clothes were clean and without a single patch.

I observed for quite a while.

I discovered that this guy likes to slack off after working for a short time. He either makes an excuse to go to the toilet or sneaks off to the break room for a smoke.

"Section Chief, are we just going to keep an eye on him like this?" Luo Qingfeng asked, puzzled.

In his view, Niu Dazhuang's biggest crime was nothing more than stealing some scrap materials, which didn't require them to take action themselves; they could just hand it over to the security department.

Fang Yuan didn't explain, but simply instructed Luo Qingfeng to stay here and keep a close eye on Niu Dazhuang's every move before he walked to the factory gate.

The south gate of Hongxing Steel Plant is closest to the rolling mill, so most of the rolling mill workers go home through this gate after get off work.

To the left of the main entrance is the mailroom, where Grandpa Jiang was sitting leisurely, nodding his head and swaying, presumably listening to the radio.

Fang Yuan didn't go over there, but instead walked to the factory guard team's office on the right side of the gate.

After greeting the security personnel on duty at the entrance, Fang Yuan pushed open the door to the guard team's room. Inside, there was a lot of heat and a pungent smell of smoke, but they didn't seem to mind the stuffiness.

Fang Yuan took a step back and waited for the smell in the room to dissipate for a while before stepping inside.

Inside the room, five or six guards were huddled together, some sitting, some standing, smoking and chatting idly.

"Who the hell are you? Why are you barging in without saying hello?"

One of them, probably the leader, saw that Fang Yuan was young and didn't seem like a leader, so he immediately shouted at him.

"Fang Yuan, head of the third section of the Supervision Department."

After Fang Yuan finished speaking, he put his work ID back in his pocket, then walked straight to his desk and picked up a blue hardcover notebook from the desk.

This is the monthly attendance sheet for the guard team.

Upon opening it, I saw that it said today's duty captain: Ruan Xiaoming.

Fang Yuan then found out who was the team leader on duty for the days Niu Dazhuang sold materials that month.

June 6th, 15th, and 22nd.

The duty captain on the duty roster for these three days was the same person: Song Qinkuai.

It's him!

Huang Xiang's confidant!

The head of the security department at the steel rolling mill!!!

At this time, after several rounds of mergers, Hongxing Steel Plant has become increasingly large in scale and has more personnel. Naturally, its various functional departments have also become more comprehensive. For example, the heads of the security departments of each branch plant on the security line also serve as deputy captains of the plant's guard team. On weekdays, they need to take turns with several other deputy captains to guard the gate.

Looking at the three big characters "Song Qinkuai" on the duty roster.

Fang Yuan never expected such a coincidence; just a few days ago, he had drunk this man so much at the guesthouse that he was knocked under the table.

The same person was on duty for three days, and Niu Dazhuang was a steel rolling mill worker. Based on these two points alone, Fang Yuan couldn't help but suspect that there was something fishy going on.

wrong.

This is no coincidence.

Fang Yuan reacted instantly.

No wonder Sun Daxing took him to the bicycle shop today. Getting him a bicycle was probably only one of the reasons. His real purpose was to pass this clue on to Fang Yuan.

This was probably at Wang Qingling's behest.

The intention was to get Fang Yuan to follow the trail and investigate the steel rolling mill.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but curse inwardly: These old bastards, they really know how to set up one trap after another.
