Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

When the leader of the Ministry of Metallurgy received the report submitted by the investigation team, he didn't know how to deal with it. He thought it would be best to downplay it and pretend that nothing had happened.

However, given the current situation, it is really not possible for one person to make a decision. It is still best to prepare for the meeting and then discuss and decide.

"Old Song, what do you think about the incident of lost materials at the steel mill?"

"Leader, what do you mean?"

"Alas, these are troubled times!"

Mr. Song understood immediately after hearing this. The leader wanted to control the impact at the level of the Ministry of Metallurgy, and the rest were probably intended for him to take care of it!
"Leader, I have no problem with that, but..."

"I'll talk to Lao Wang. Lao Song, you know how outrageous this matter is. Once it's reported, there will be no explanation!"

"Yes, two large warehouses of supplies disappeared without a sound. This..."

Old Song couldn't understand it either, but as long as it was reported, a solution would definitely be proposed in the end. By then, he was afraid that he would not be able to get a good result;
Who let his son-in-law be the director of the steel mill? He was the kind of person who had no constraints and said what he meant. If the higher-ups couldn't find any results, they would naturally suspect Li Huaide, and even he would be implicated!

"Okay, we are just discussing it before the meeting. We still have to discuss and decide in the end!"

"Yes, leader!"

It is naturally in his interest to control the influence within the Ministry of Metallurgy, but there is also a mortal enemy watching him, so he cannot be too aggressive!

The leaders discussed it separately, and after reaching a certain agreement, the discussion began!

"Today's topic is just one: how to deal with the steel mill incident. Everyone, please feel free to speak your mind!"

"Ahem, leaders, comrades, the investigation team has conducted a thorough investigation, but in the end there was no conclusion. This is our fault, so my suggestion is to downplay the matter and handle it internally!"

Deputy Wang was helpless. Although he was unwilling, but who made the leader give the order?
"I agree with Lao Wang. We can't report a disappearance out of thin air. Besides, the missing items are only some Sijiu, which is not serious.
To borrow the words of Comrade He Yuzhu, Deputy Director of Logistics of the Steel Rolling Mill mentioned in the report, those things are just junk and have little value;
Therefore, my opinion is that we should digest it ourselves, deal with a few parties involved, and end the matter here, to prevent the higher-ups from suspecting us of fraud!"

Old Song spoke next. He and Deputy Wang had reached a consensus under the coordination of the leaders. His intention of speaking now was to tell everyone not to wait and see, as the matter was a foregone conclusion!

. . . . . .

Afterwards, other people also expressed their opinions one after another. Although the person who made the decision had not spoken yet, the attitudes of the two deputies who were not getting along had already been made clear, and the leader's mediation was indispensable here!
"Very good, everyone has a broad perspective. In principle, I agree with everyone's views. Next, we will vote on whether to report it. Let's begin!"

The leadership's intentions were so obvious that the attendees would naturally not make trouble for no reason. The meeting was just a formality. The results of the resolution had been brewing and agreed upon long before the meeting! This time the efficiency was very high. After the resolution came out, the Ministry of Metallurgy issued the instructions as quickly as possible and handled it on its own on the basis of confidentiality;
In principle, we cannot make a big deal out of a small matter, or let a small matter go to waste. Those involved in the incident who neglect their duties or fail to perform their duties must be dealt with seriously!

Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the instructions in his hand. Didn't his superiors asking the steel mill to handle it on its own mean that he had the final say on how to handle the matter?

He thought that even with the help of his father-in-law, he would not be able to escape punishment this time, but he did not expect the ending to be so dramatic. It seems that the higher-ups do not want the knowledge to continue to expand, which is exactly what he wants!

He had already thought of someone to take the blame. Liu Haizhong did work hard, but he was the person directly responsible this time. He wanted to protect him, but his ability was limited and he really couldn't do it!
As for the chief of security, although he does not have the authority to handle the matter, he can still send it back. At least he can ask the public security department to replace someone!
"Old Liu, our superiors have asked our factory to take responsibility. You and Section Chief Liu are the direct responsible persons, and you must deal with it. I hope you can deal with it correctly.
Of course, I won’t ignore it either. I will find a suitable opportunity to let you come back later!"

Li Huaide immediately found Liu Haizhong. Although he was reluctant, he really had no choice. He couldn't deal with He Yuzhu, right? He just checked a database and made a lot of connections with his cooking skills;

It is impossible to move before there is absolutely no mistake. Besides, he can't move because he can't bear to give up his cooking skills and he can't get past his wife. He has a good wife.
After much thought, the most suitable person is Liu Hai, who only wants to be an official but has no one behind him. As for Section Chief Liu, he has no right to interfere whether others handle the matter after he returns. This is the reality!

"Director, thank you for your support and training. I have benefited a lot during this period!"

Liu Haizhong smiled bitterly. Although he had expected the outcome, he still felt very uncomfortable when the time came. Everyone involved knew that no one could be blamed, but the higher-ups needed to be explained, and Li Huaide also needed someone to take the blame.

Now we can only pray that he will keep his promise and let him become a cadre before retirement, fulfilling his dream of many years. I dare not think of anything else!

"Well, I've always known you're a good comrade. Do you have any plans for the picket team?"

"Director, I think Zhou Chengxin is skilled in business and has a calm personality. He is a talented person!"

Liu Haizhong naturally would not miss the opportunity to show his kindness, this was also the benefit Li Huaide gave him!

"Well, I will arrange for your son and daughter-in-law to be regular employees. They will report to the farm this afternoon. I will ask Damao to take care of them.
Perform well over there and strive to be an advanced person. I can also take the opportunity to bring you back. By then, you will still be the patrol captain!"

"Thank you, Director!"

Liu Haizhong didn't expect that he would be accompanying Yi Zhonghai and the others. They are really a pair of brothers in distress. I'm afraid he will be ridiculed and targeted if he goes there.

Li Huaide looked at Liu Haizhong's hunched back in silence. He didn't give so many benefits because he valued him. Liu Haizhong didn't have such a big face.
It is for others to see that this person who took the blame must receive all the benefits he deserves, to show that he is not a heartless person, and even if he took the blame, he will still receive all the benefits he deserves.
Otherwise, his subordinates will inevitably feel grief over his failure, and may even fail to put in enough effort in their future work, acting insincerely and disobeying his orders, which will be detrimental to his control of the overall situation!

They are the ones who do the work and take the blame. When something goes wrong, the leaders stay out of the matter, leaving them with nothing to gain and even losing their future. Will anyone still work for them? Will anyone still create political achievements for them?

Li Huaide was able to get Yang Weimin by using his position as deputy factory director. How could he not understand such a simple truth? (End of this chapter)
