Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 202 Investigation, Dismissal (Subscription Request)
After Zhou Fengnian came out, he immediately walked towards his eldest brother's courtyard, intending to ask about the situation.

But not long after he left the house, the security guard caught up with him and asked, "Leader, what happened?"

"It's just a personal matter. You can go back and rest first. This matter doesn't involve anything else."

If it was that group of people who arrested his elder brother, it would be difficult for the security guards of the First Ministry of Machine Building to intervene.

However, Zhao Qiang shook his head and said, "Let me follow you. Our mission is to ensure your safety. I won't cause any trouble for you."

"Thank you for your help, Zhao Qiang."

"You're welcome, leader."

Although they followed Zhou Fengnian because of the mission at the beginning, Zhou Fengnian has been very good to them over the past year.

From time to time, I would treat them to breakfast and some braised food, and there was no intention of winning them over, I just wanted them to have a good rest.

So at this time, Zhao Qiang would certainly not obey the order and go back to rest.

Afterwards, Zhou Fengnian and his companion rushed to the courtyard where Zhou Weitian lived, but before they arrived there, Zhou Fengnian ran into Zhou Jiaan who was walking back.

"Third brother, I found out who arrested my eldest brother. When they saw my eldest sister-in-law trying to stop them, they took her away with her."

Zhou Jiaan hurriedly said to Zhou Fengnian, he followed over, took a look at the place and immediately ran back.

"Who did it?"

"I asked around about the group of people at the steel mill. Recently, the most arrogant of them, my eldest brother and his wife, are from the machine tool factory and the electrical appliance factory."

After listening to this, Zhou Fengnian's mind immediately flashed with Li Huaide, but then he shook his head.

No matter how cruel Li Huaide is, he can't be so stupid. His file is so clean that even the people from the Academy of Sciences can't find any fault with it. It is impossible for a steel mill to overstep its authority.

Moreover, when Li Huaide met him last time, he was still in charge of production and asked him a lot about the production of fine steel and export.

The person who was coveting the credit for export two months ago, suddenly does this two months later?

Zhou Fengnian was a little skeptical.

However, he still asked Zhao Qiang to drive the car over, and then several people rushed to where Li Huaide lived.

It was always past eight when Zhou Fengnian got home from work, and when he got back he ran into this kind of thing again, so it was almost nine o'clock when he arrived at Li Huaide's place.

Fortunately, after I knocked on the door, someone in the house answered quickly, but the tone was a bit bad. It seemed that someone came to the door just when I was about to go to bed.

Lu Chunwei opened the door impatiently and immediately found two tall men standing outside the door. She was startled at first, but then she took a closer look and remembered Zhou Fengnian.

This surprised Lu Chunwei and she asked, "Mr. Zhou? Why are you here?"

"Is Director Li home? I have something to ask him."

"Old Li, he."

"Who?"

A question came from inside, and then Li Huaide came out and saw Zhou Fengnian standing outside the door with a surprised look on his face: "Mr. Zhou, why are you here so late? What's the matter?
Come in first and talk."

After entering the room, Zhou Fengnian didn't even sit down. He waved his hand to stop Lu Chunwei from making tea and asked directly, "Director Li, my eldest brother is from the machine tool factory, and my eldest sister-in-law is from the first electrical appliance factory, but they have been captured by the people from the steel rolling mill."

"what?"

Li Huaide was stunned for four or five seconds to digest Zhou Fengnian's words, and then he said angrily: "Mr. Zhou, this is definitely not done by me. The recent movements in the factory were all instigated by Lao Yang. I will go to the steel mill with you."

After saying that, Li Huaide went back to put on his clothes. Lu Chunwei was a little curious about what was going on, but Li Huaide couldn't explain it clearly for a while.

This movement was initiated by those above, and he could not object once someone proposed it. The machine tool factory also used the possibility of breach of contract for export orders and the negative impact on foreign countries as a reason to allow the workers to continue production.

The steel rolling mill is not doing well. Someone brought this up and Li Huaide couldn't object.

Zhou Fengnian came here by car. After Li Huaide got in the car, he briefly told Zhou Fengnian about the situation of the steel rolling mill.

He still holds most of the power, but Yang Weimin is a little restless, which just gave him the opportunity. He probably wants to use this incident to return to the position of factory director.

After listening to this, Zhou Fengnian thought secretly in his heart, you and Yang Weimin are really old rivals, and both of you want to take advantage of this opportunity.

But looking at Li Huaide's behavior, Yang Weimin probably has no chance. He couldn't defeat Li Huaide in the first place, and now even his thoughts are known clearly by Li Huaide.

Li Huaide apologized repeatedly in the car, saying that everything was absolutely fine and that he would release them as soon as he arrived and punish those guys who acted on their own initiative.

Soon, the car arrived at the gate of the steel mill, and the security staff stopped it and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Li Huaide, open the door quickly!"

Li Huaide stuck his head out of the car and shouted loudly to the security members.

When the security personnel saw this, they quickly asked someone to open the door. After the door was opened, Li Huaide asked whether the group had captured anyone today and where they had gone.

He quickly rushed to the abandoned warehouse of the factory, and at the same time called a group of security personnel.

After arriving, Li Huaide shouted directly: "Who is in charge here today? Stand up!"

"Hey, Director Li, why are you here? We just caught a dishonest couple and are criticizing them."

Xu Damao stepped forward to report with a flattering smile, but before he could finish his next words, he was slapped hard in the face by Li Huaide.

Snapped!
The sound was so loud that even the security members standing behind felt pain on their faces and they touched their faces unconsciously.

Li Huaide was still not satisfied after slapping Xu Damao, so he stepped forward and kicked him, knocking him to the ground.

Xu Damao covered his face and asked with a puzzled and aggrieved look: "Director Li Li?"

"Let me ask you, which factory are the two people you arrested from?"

"him they"

"Which factory is this from!?"

"The man is from the machine tool factory, and the woman seems to be from the first electrical appliance factory."

"You knew that and still arrested him? Do you think Huaxia Machine Tool Factory and Electric Appliance Factory No. 1 don't have security departments? Who told you to make the decision without authorization?"

After hearing this, Li Huaide was so angry that his nostrils were crooked. Fortunately, Zhou Fengnian came to him in advance tonight. If the directors of the two factories called him tomorrow, he would not be able to think of a solution even if he pulled his hair out.

Steel mill? Who are you to arrest people from our factory? You are the only one who can arrest people? You are the only one who has a security department?
Okay, then the security departments of the other two factories were dispatched to arrest the people from the steel rolling mill.

Factories nowadays are so protective of their employees that even if the police arrest someone from the factory, they will inform the security department; if a worker breaks the law outside, they must cooperate in the investigation, or at least let the factory security department sit in. There is a key factory of the Ministry of Light Industry with more than 3,000 people, and another key factory of the Ministry of Machinery with 6,000 to 7,000 people. Li Huaide didn't dare to offend both at the same time, but now a projectionist who was transferred to the deputy director has done it.

"What are you still looking at? Let him out!"

After Li Huaide's roar, the others reacted and hurriedly released Zhou Weitian and Qu Ying and his wife.

The two men didn't say much when they came out. When they saw Zhou Fengnian, they stood beside him.

"Comrades, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble tonight. Mr. Zhou, I will definitely give you an explanation for what happened today."

Li Huaide apologized and said to Zhou Fengnian, then turned around and ordered the security department: "Catch all these people and interrogate them thoroughly tonight.

Let's see who instructed them to do this kind of thing to deliberately harm workers, stir up emotions, and sabotage development."

Li Huaide directly put three big hats on them. It would be better for these people to confess more tonight. The more people there are, the lighter their punishment will be.

There are fewer people, so let’s just go with this group of people.

After hearing this, Xu Damao wailed, "Director, I am wronged. I am only following your instructions."

"As ordered?"

Zhou Fengnian originally wanted to turn around and leave, but after hearing Xu Damao's words, he turned back and walked to Xu Damao.

After looking at him for a while, he asked, "You are Xu Damao, the projectionist at the steel mill, right? I know you. You married the daughter of a capitalist before, so you are related to him now. Then you brought people to arrest the working class who came from poor peasant families.
Who instructed you to do this?"

Before Zhou Fengnian finished asking his question, Xu Damao was already dumbfounded with fear. Zhou Fengnian snorted coldly and prepared to leave.

After listening to Zhou Fengnian's words, Li Huaide gave another warning to the security department: "This person must be thoroughly investigated and all his relationships must be investigated."

Before, he was in charge of production, so he seldom paid attention to other people, and the projectionist was an irrelevant position. In the past, he just accompanied them for fun while drinking. Naturally, Li Huaide never paid attention to Xu Damao.

As the deputy director, he did not rely on Li Huaide's connections, so he would naturally not show mercy when he took action now.

Then Li Huaide stayed for a while and asked Zhou Fengnian and the others to go back first. The Security Department also had a car, so he could ask the Security Department to take him back later.

Zhou Fengnian didn't say anything polite. After expressing his gratitude, he took the bus back.

After bringing the people back, Zhou Fengnian asked them what was going on, but Zhou Weitian couldn't explain it clearly. These bastards suddenly came to his door and he didn't know what he was doing.

It was too late now, so Zhou Fengnian did not ask any more questions. Fortunately, Zhou Weitian only had a conflict and fight with them in the courtyard, and was not beaten after being taken away.

Just apply some safflower oil when you get home.

As for Xu Damao, there is no need to worry. His previous words have already nailed Xu Damao down; if there is someone behind him, he will not be able to escape.

Why not use a poor peasant who married a capitalist's daughter? It would be like hitting someone with the tip of a knife. Not only will you hit the person, but you will also be hurt by the tip of the knife.

Moreover, Xu Damao probably hasn't had time to divorce the daughter of the Lou family, otherwise it would be obvious from what was said to him just now.

Li Huaide personally interrogated the case for half the night before finally coming to a conclusion. After that, he did not rest for long and rushed to call Zhou Fengnian's home early in the morning.

After telling him about this, he found out that Xu Damao was instigated by a cook in their yard, who worked at the machine tool factory. Plus, Xu Damao also wanted to achieve higher levels of success, so he was deceived into doing it.

Zhou Fengnian said "I understand" and hung up the phone.

This kind of thing must be suppressed to death, otherwise they can attack his family, and they can attack him next time.

However, he couldn't be late for the research institute, so Zhou Fengnian rushed there in the morning and then called Gao Zhiyuan to explain what happened last night before hanging up the phone.

Given his relationship with Gao Zhiyuan, the latter would definitely understand without him having to say too much.

Not long after Gao Zhiyuan hung up the phone, Li Huaide answered the phone and said sorry. The people in their factory were impulsive and caused a conflict last night.
Gao Zhiyuan had just learned the details from Zhou Fengnian, so after exchanging a few polite words with Li Huaide, he hung up the phone.

He then asked his secretary to notify other key cadres in the factory and planned to convene a meeting of the school leadership team.

Gao Zhiyuan then asked someone to bring the interrogation records from the Security Department sent by the steel rolling mill, and then walked towards the meeting room.

After most people had arrived, Gao Zhiyuan spoke up, "Something happened. It involves our factory workers and the steel mill. Everyone, please take a look first."

He then handed the interrogation record to Secretary Kang, who passed it to the next person after reading it. Gao Zhiyuan then began to talk about what had happened.

After everyone had finished listening and watching, Ma Sisheng said, "Let me reflect on myself. I was in charge of the kitchen, and something like this happened, and I was embarrassed outside the factory."

Wang Jinghui consoled him, "Hey, Deputy Director Ma, don't say that. There's something wrong with the cook named He."

"Indeed, this is the second time. Last time, I said something bad about Mr. Zhou, and Mr. Zhou's elder brother, Zhou Weitian, heard it and the two had a fight. Now it's happening again."

It hasn't been long since Gao Zhiyuan brought up old grudges. He is such a troublemaker.

"I think this kind of behavior of seeking revenge against our workers in other factories should be dealt with seriously."

"Director Gao, this is not the second time, but the third time."

Wang Jinghui interrupted and said, "I invited Mr. Zhou to dinner before and asked him to cook two dishes of the Tan family. As a result, this chef He came out and told me that Mr. Zhou was not good in every way, haha."

They have all been used to sow discord on him, and now it's happening again.

Hong Bowen said, "That's the third time? One time is considered a major offense, so he can be fired, right?"

Ma Sisheng interrupted, "The kitchen staff doesn't want to keep him anymore. One chef is enough, and Zhou Weitian is much more popular than He Yuzhu."

If Zhou Weitian wasn't too busy and there were too many people eating in the special kitchen, the second canteen wouldn't have its turn many times.

The factory sold the food to cadres at cost price, which attracted many people to eat in the factory. After all, in state-owned restaurants, you need a ticket, but in the factory cafeteria you only need money, and it is cheap.

Gao Zhiyuan turned around and asked, "Secretary Kang, Secretary Zhong, what do you think?"

"Let's open it."

Zhong Qiyuan said, "Three major offenses have been issued. Even though Deputy Director Wang has only just mentioned this, it's not too late."

"Then fire him. Let the security department investigate, make a detailed record, and inform the entire factory."

Kang Hongnian made the final decision. The union could not oppose the decision made by the main cadres of the machine tool factory, and they were in the right.

"But accountability is still needed. We just need to send a formal letter to the steel mill and ask some questions."

Although I don't intend to pursue the matter, I still have to make my attitude clear and can't just let it go as if nothing happened.
