The golden age began in 1977

Chapter 121 The Great Purge, Reshuffling of the Leadership

Liu Jinshan looked unwell and was restless.

Wang Hao was looking down at the "Labor Production Standards Book," as if he were reading pornography, completely absorbed.

Qian Jin got up and pushed open the creaking window. The cool, damp air from the sea rushed in, fading the smell of tobacco that Yang Shengzhang had left in the room.

Under the bright midday sun, the port is fully awake, with cranes and gantry cranes turning continuously, and the sound of cargo ships' horns rolling in from afar.

Qian Jin picked up Liu Jinshan's teacup, poured in hot water, and thoughtfully added the jasmine tea he had brought:
"Deputy Captain Liu, have some tea and a cigarette, let's have a good talk."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao got up and left.

The old comrade is indeed different; he has a keen eye.

Qian Jin offered him a cigarette.

Liu Jinshan didn't answer, but looked up and glared at him: "I really didn't expect this, Captain Qian, you are a promising young man and a promising talent."

"That bastard Song Hongbing is just as unreliable as ever. So he's already been arrested. No wonder he suddenly wants to get back at you!"

Qian Jin didn't say anything, but forcibly stuffed a cigarette into Liu Jinshan's hand and lit it with a lighter.

Liu Jinshan could only smoke in silence.

The office fell silent for a moment.

"Bang!" The office door was pushed open, and the dull thud as it hit the whitewashed wall startled Liu Jinshan, causing cigarette ash to fall onto his patched cotton shoes.

My brother-in-law rushed in:
Is Minister Yang still here?

"Oh, it's gone?"

Qian Jin looked at him speechlessly: "Why are you so startled? Where did you go just now?"

Wei Xiongtu said, "Deputy Captain Liu sent me to deliver safety production notices to each team..."

At this point, he glared at Liu Jinshan and said, "So you were trying to get rid of me so you could slander Chief Qian to Minister Yang. Now I know everything!"

"Old Wang told you everything?" Liu Jinshan asked him, squinting his eyes.

Wei Xiongtu sneered: "Never mind who told me..."

"Only Lao Wang knows about this," Liu Jinshan laughed. "Who else could have told you this besides Lao Wang?"

Wei Xiongtu was in a difficult situation.

That's indeed what happened.

Liu Jinshan comforted him, saying, "It's alright. Old Wang should have told you about it. He's a shrewd guy, unlike me."

"I was able to become the deputy battalion commander entirely by giving gifts, while he rose through the ranks by knowing how to choose sides."

"Now it seems that Lao Wang has sided with Captain Qian. In that case, I have no other choice. Captain Qian, I, Lao Liu, am sorry. I did indeed try to frame you behind your back. Do whatever you want to get revenge."

Qian Jin slammed the enamel mug with the words "Safety in Production" printed on it onto his desk, leaving a round, tea-stained mark on the bottom.
"Deputy Captain Liu, to put it bluntly, you're judging others by your own petty standards."

“You can go to Taishan Road and ask around to find out who I, Qian Jin, am. Since I returned to the city in August, I started as a member of the labor commando team at the very bottom of the street and have worked my way up to become the co-captain of the street labor commando team and the public security commando team.”

“I joined our Jiagang brigade last month, and started as a porter and have worked my way up to become the brigade leader.”

"What do you think I relied on to get where I am today?"

Liu Jinshan kept smoking with his head down.

Qian Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "What good would it do me to seek revenge on you? Besides venting my anger, what else can I do?"

"You heard Minister Yang's criticism of me before he left. He hoped I could lead the team."

"If I were to make enemies of you, my deputy, or even go against you, would that be the way to lead a team effectively?"

Liu Jinshan's mind started racing, and he couldn't help but look up at Qian Jin.

Qian Jin handed him another cigarette: "Tell me, how did Song Hongbing threaten you?"

"The root of this problem is Song Hongbing, not you, nor any of the foremen below him."

"So the person I need to deal with is Song Hongbing, and you are the people I need to win over and unite with!"

Liu Jinshan was incredulous, yet full of hope: "Captain Qian, are you really that magnanimous?"

Qian Jin waved his hand:

“I’m not being lenient. I’m thinking of myself. Minister Yang reminded me that if I want to hold onto my position as captain, I need to be good at leading the team. So I’ll listen to him and lead the team well.”

"So the most urgent task is for us to unite and deal with Song Hongbing, who has already been arrested."

"You have something on you that he can use against you, right?"

Liu Jinshan looked at him.

He kept licking his lips with his tongue but made no sound.

Clearly, they are struggling with an internal conflict.

Upon seeing this, Qian Jin sneered: "Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but man's sins cannot be tolerated!"

"Are you still hoping to get away with this?"

"No!" Liu Jinshan gritted his teeth. "To tell you the truth, Captain Qian, I don't want to leave the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's lair!"

"You're right, he has something on me, and I'm very afraid that you'll end up with it."

There was something else he didn't say.

He felt that Qian Jin was more terrifying than Song Hongbing.

Just as he used a metaphor, Song Hongbing was at most a wolf, while Qian Jin was a tiger!

He was still a young and vigorous tiger.

This guy is ruthless when he eats people, leaving no bones behind!

Qian Jin said, "Then what's your weakness? Can you destroy it? If you can destroy it, I'll get it for you so you can destroy it, okay?"

Then he warned, "Think carefully, Deputy Captain Liu. Song Hongbing is too greedy. If he has any leverage over you, he will keep trying to take advantage of you."

"Do you really want to be threatened by him again and again, to be manipulated by him time and time again? To be his puppet for the rest of your life?"

This makes sense.

Liu Jinshan also longed to break free from Song Hongbing's control.
He was finally persuaded and said, "Captain Qian, I'm a short-sighted and ignorant person. Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused you before."

"I was blinded by greed and followed Song Hongbing's orders to deal with you. I was wrong, and I apologize to you!"

Qian Jin gave Wei Xiongtu a wink, signaling him to leave first.

Only the two of them remained in the office. Liu Jinshan revealed the truth: "I made a mistake a couple of years ago and got involved with a female colleague."

"But somehow, Song Hongbing found out about it. Song Hongbing is a scoundrel; he actually followed me and secretly took pictures of the two of us together!"

“He not only threatened me with photos this time, but he has threatened me before, threatening me to obey him and do his bidding!”

Qian Jin felt a surge of joy.

I actually guessed it right.

Wow, I'm really good at reasoning!

However, Song Hongbing is a talented guy; he shares the same hobby as Edison Chen—taking photos.

It's a pity he was born in the wrong era. If he had been born in the 21st century, he could probably have made a name for himself as a paparazzi.

Qian Jin got up and wandered around the office with his hands behind his back.

Liu Jinshan looked at him expectantly, hoping that he could come up with a good solution to his troubles.

However, Qian Jin wasn't thinking of any solutions at all; he was just going around in circles.

People shouldn't sit for too long. If you sit for half an hour, you should stand up and move around for a minute. This is good for your health.

After circling around with a frown, he asked Liu Jinshan, "Have you seen the contents of the photos? To what extent?"

Liu Jinshan said dejectedly, "I've only read part of it."

"As for how far? To the point where, once the photos are exposed, I'll not only lose my job but also go to jail, where I'll serve a much longer sentence than Song Hongbing stole the bicycle!"

Qian Jin understood.

Someone took nude photos of her.

He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Don't you know that Song Hongbing has already been arrested and taken to the police station?"

Liu Jinshan shook his head.

Qian Jin asked, "So how did he threaten you? What methods did he use to instruct you to frame me?"

Liu Jinshan said, "It was his eldest son who came to me. His eldest son gave me a letter. In the letter, that bastard Song Hongbing said that he was not available to show his face right now and asked me to get together with a few foremen to deal with you."

"He said that as long as I get rid of you, he can come back as the captain and then he will return the photo to me."

Then he hurriedly defended himself: "Captain Qian, we really are sorry, but there's nothing we can do!"

Qian Jin laughed and said, "It's alright, I understand. If someone has something on me, I'll be at their mercy."

"So which foremen are helping you deal with me this time?"

Liu Jinshan hesitated for a moment.

Qian Jin shook his head and got up to leave: "Forget it, you should just..."

"No, no, Captain Qian, please don't go!" Liu Jinshan hurriedly grabbed him.

"You need to give me time to think; I need time to organize my thoughts."

"That's right, I only know that Song Hongbing also manipulated other foremen to cooperate with me against you, but I don't know exactly how he manipulated them—it's not that I don't want to tell you, Team Leader Qian, but Song Hongbing would never let me know about these things!"

Qian Jin smiled and said, "Yes, that's true. So, who has he arranged to cooperate with you?"

Upon hearing this, even in the freezing cold, beads of sweat trickled down Liu Jinshan's collar.

In the end, the mentality of "better to die than to die" prevailed.

Liu Jinshan said with difficulty, "Du Feng, Liao Yiqiang, and Gu Jiashuai, the three of them took the lead in not starting work, and the others followed suit."

Qian Jin asked, "Isn't Hu Shunzi's side of work starting either?"

Liu Jinshan hurriedly said, "He was the first to follow up!"

Qian Jin cursed under his breath.

That grandson of a bitch!

He now understands that Hu Shunzi is a complete idiot, someone who can only be used but not trusted, otherwise he will become a major threat sooner or later.

Then Liu Jinshan weakly added, "I forged a fake notice and sent it down, saying, saying it was about Captain Qian, but I really deserve to die, I'm so bad!"

He started slapping himself in the face halfway through his sentence.

The slapping sounds were very loud.

The attack was quite ruthless.

Qian Jin pressed down on his wrist and said gently, "It's alright. I've already said it, it's all in the past. I won't hold you responsible."

"Tell me the truth, what notice did you fabricate in my name?"

Liu Jinshan chuckled and said, "It's a notice to suspend work and take a break."

Qian Jin patted him on the shoulder and said, "You, you can't do that again."

Seeing that Qian Jin really didn't get angry, Liu Jinshan was overjoyed: "I will never do that again. Don't worry, Captain Qian, I will definitely work hard for you from now on."

"From now on, I will be your most steadfast supporter. If you tell me to go east, I won't go west; if you tell me to beat a dog, I won't chase a chicken; if you tell me to play with someone's ass, I won't fuck them!"

In his excitement, he spoke without thinking.

Qian Jin said, "Then the most urgent task is to get each team to start working. There's a lot of cargo piling up at the port right now."

"Once the teams start working and we have some free time, I'll start helping you find and destroy any incriminating evidence."

Liu Jinshan said enthusiastically, "It's simple. Minister Yang learned that our brigade hadn't started work for the past three days, and as soon as he arrived, he immediately ordered all the teams to resume work."

"However, Gu Jiashuai's three squads probably haven't made a move yet. They're still thinking about how to trip you up."

Qian Jin asked, "What should we do?"

Liu Jinshan chuckled: "Although I don't know what leverage Song Hongbing has over them, I also have leverage over them."

"Just you wait and see, Captain Qian. I'll make them work like obedient donkeys right away!"

Without needing to spend money on horses, he quickly sent someone to summon Liao Yiqiang, who lived closest to him.

Liao Yiqiang was a strong man who always had a smile on his face. He offered me a cigarette as soon as he came in.

"What official business do the leaders want with me?"

Qian Jin waved his hand to indicate that he did not smoke.

Liu Jinshan withdrew his outstretched hand and said with a righteous expression, "Old Liao, there are no outsiders here, so I'll speak frankly."

“We already know that Song Hongbing secretly instructed you to do bad things, and he has now been arrested by the public security authorities.”

Liao Yiqiang's face immediately fell: "W-what?"

Liu Jinshan said, "Captain Qian knows everything; we can't hide anything from him."

"So the reason I called you here today is to offer you a way back. Don't even think about secretly doing anything bad for the Qian Brigade. Just go back to work honestly and do your job properly, okay?"

Liao Yiqiang hurriedly said, "No, Captain Liu, I don't understand what you mean. Haven't I been working hard all along?"

"You've been working so hard, yet you haven't even broken a sweat!" Liu Jinshan slammed his fist on the table and roared as he stood up.

"I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, and you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River."

"Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony with you anymore. If word gets out that you tampered with the crane hook in '74..."

At this point, Liu Jinshan chuckled, sat back down, crossed his legs, and began to drink tea.

Qian Jin saw everything clearly from the side.

BYD is definitely showing the villain's true colors!

Liao Yiqiang was both angry and flustered. He clenched his fists and said, "Captain Liu, we have no past grudges or recent feuds, you..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? You're only half right. We've never had any grudges before, but if you don't follow Captain Qian and work hard now, then we'll have a grudge!" Liu Jinshan struck a pose of unwavering loyalty. Liao Yiqiang pursed his lips and looked outside, finally nodding vigorously and saying, "I understand, I understand."

"Captain Qian, I'll go back and get the brothers to work right away. You guys are big shots, we small fry can't afford to mess with you. I know what to do, I'll definitely lead my brothers to do a good job!"

After Liao Yiqiang came Gu Jiashuai.

Same routine.

Liu Jinshan first explained the situation to Gu Jiashuai, urging him to abandon his evil ways and join the righteous cause. Then he chuckled, revealing his teeth, yellowed from the smell of baijiu (a type of Chinese liquor).

"If the leaders find out that the goods your team keeps losing are all being sold on the black market by your brother-in-law, Lao Gu, you're probably in for a rough time!"

Gu Jiashuai's hand rested on the edge of the bench, his knuckles turning bluish-white.

He stared at Qian Jin and said, "Captain Qian, give us a way out. My brothers have spoken ill of you behind your back, but you don't have to drive us to this point, do you?"

“My family depends on me working as a porter at the docks to earn a living. You wouldn’t go so far as to kill all the brothers, would you?”

Qian Jin smiled without saying a word, then turned to look at the bronze-plated statue of "Iron Man Wang Jinxi" on the office filing cabinet.

This is an award given by the company to an outstanding work department. The Jiagang Port Moving Team was once a team with excellent work style and a glorious history.

Liu Jinshan spoke up for him: "When did Captain Qian ever pressure you?"

"Didn't I tell you? Song Hongbing is finished, he's been arrested. No matter what dirt he has on you, don't worry, Captain Qian has the ability to dig it out for you."

"Don't overthink it. Just follow his instructions and work hard. That's the only way forward!"

Helpless, Gu Jiashuai immediately stated that he would go back and resume work properly.

The same methods were used against Du Feng.

Liu Jinshan shamelessly approached Qian Jin to ask for credit: "Captain Qian, I've solved your troublesome matter."

"Don't worry, if these three teams don't cause trouble, then our brigade will have no troublemakers!"

Qian Jin nodded slowly: "Well done, Deputy Captain Liu, that's more like it. That's the point of the leaders having us pair up and form teams together."

“Your troubles are my troubles too, but I have to go to work this afternoon and we can’t leave. Let’s wait until after get off work and I’ll help you find the photos.”

Liu Jinshan hesitated for a moment: "Will it work?"

Qian Jin laughed and said, "Since I promised you, I'll definitely do it!"

He used the nib of his pen to pry open the copy of the Dazhong Daily in front of him and continued, "The letter was delivered to you by Song Hongbing's eldest son? Do you know where his eldest son goes when he's not home?"

Does he have any bad habits?

Liu Jinshan nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, he really does."

"This kid is sixteen years old this year, and he's even more lecherous than me. Once I overheard Song Hongbing scolding him. Apparently, he was caught by the old gatekeeper while peeping into the girls' restroom at school."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin laughed: "Didn't you think of getting some leverage over him and exchanging it with Song Hongbing?"

Liu Jinshan sighed and said, "How could I not have thought of that? But, uh, but I'm not that kind of person. The things that Song Hongbing, that male dog, has slept with are ultimately different."

Qian Jin could guess from his pathetic state that he must have done the same thing before, but he hadn't managed to catch the other person red-handed.

This time, Qian Jin is going to find something to hold against Song Hongbing's eldest son, Song Shoudu.

They're easy to catch.

After get off work, Liu Jinshan went to the Song family to find Song Shoudu, and he gave Song Shoudu a stack of books.

When Song Shou opened it, his eyes widened in surprise.

“These are things your father left with me,” Liu Jinshan told him to hide them quickly, then said in a friendly tone:
“Nephew, I already know about your father’s situation. He’s been arrested by the police, so you’d better keep these books safe and don’t let anyone else find them.”

"Right now, your dad's matter isn't a big deal. He stole a bicycle, so there's still room for maneuver."

"But now your dad's nemesis wants to get rid of him. They know that your dad has been smuggling government property into the house a lot, and they've already reported it to their superiors. I'm afraid someone will come to your house to investigate in the next couple of days."

"So you'd better get rid of the things in the house that shouldn't be there tonight—huh? How? Where to throw them away? Don't throw them away, it'll be such a waste. You have to go to the black market, Uncle will take you there and we'll sell them!"

Early the next morning.

The two of them carried their loads on their shoulders and in their hands, feeling their way through the darkness and braving the cold, to the black market in Jiagang.

Before they could even go inside, a group of people wearing red armbands came out with flashlights and immediately surrounded the two of them.

Song Shou was about to throw something away when Liu Jinshan grabbed him and shouted, "Boss, I want to report this! I want to report this!"

"From the anti-voting agency," Xu Weidong appeared, shining a flashlight on his red armband: "What's going on? Arrest them all!"

Liu Jinshan hurriedly accused Song Shoudu: "Leader, I'm reporting that his father embezzled public funds, and this kid wants to take him to the black market to get rid of him. How can I go along with him?"

The Song capital was just a naive young man, and he was completely stunned by what he saw:

"I didn't, I'm not innocent, I'm wronged..."

Xu Weidong came with a team to handle a case; there really was a case to solve.

He handcuffed Song Shou, while Chang Shengli and his colleagues confiscated the goods that were to be used for black market transactions, registering them one by one with flashlights.

Song Hongbing embezzled a great deal of money.

Chang Shengli hated this kind of person the most, and said to Song Shoudu through gritted teeth, "You'd better wait to go to jail!"

Song Shou was so frightened that he covered his head and cried, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault at all, it was all my dad's doing..."

Qian Jin knew that things would be easier to handle once he saw this.

He took the Song capital to a nearby warehouse and shone a flashlight into his eyes.

Song slumped to the ground, watching his shadow shrink into a black spot on the mottled alkali stains at the base of the wall. For a moment, he wished he could shrink into a black spot himself to escape reality.

The warehouse was cold and damp, and the ice chips leaking in through the vents were blown against people by the wind.

Qian Jin said in a friendly tone, "Young comrade, let us tell you the truth. You probably don't know about your father's situation, but we do."

He showed his red armband and gestured for others to do the same: "Your father has been arrested. He is now facing multiple charges, and the organization has gathered sufficient evidence."

"So it's no accident that we caught you today. For the past two days, our unit has been keeping watch outside your house, just waiting for your family to move the evidence of your father's crimes."

As the red armbands bearing the national emblem floated past, Song Shou was so frightened that his crotch turned black.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Qian Jin said, "Now you understand the current situation, right?"

“You know, and we know, that your father has hidden some criminal records. Now we can give you a chance to redeem yourself by providing those records.”

"If you provide the information, we can consider that you were young and naive and let you off the hook tonight."

"otherwise!"

Qian Jin slammed the cup in his hand to the ground.

Torn apart.

The capital of Song began to tremble with fear.

Wei Xiongtu gently advised from the side, "Xiao Song, we didn't want this either, but this isn't our fault. Who told your father to embezzle public funds?"

"He broke the law first, so we had no choice but to enforce the law. Otherwise, who would be responsible for the country's losses? What would happen to the people's lost property?"

Song Shou hugged his knees in a panic and said, "Coco, boss, I don't know where my dad hid those criminal files!"

Qian Jin said, "You'd better know that, otherwise we'll have no choice but to search your house."

"If they find something like 'A Girl's Heart' or 'Red High Heels' during the search, or even some foreign devil's naked books, Xiao Song, do you know what will happen to you then?"

Song Shou immediately realized what was happening and shouted, "You've set me up! Uncle Liu, you've set me up! You've actually set me up!"

When Liu Jinshan delivered the message to him, he gave him several books, including currently banned books that Qian Jin had bought from the mall and a collection of photos of blonde beauties.

The photos in the album were all borderline, and while they weren't illegal or prohibited 27 years ago, they are now considered very illegal.

In addition, he had seen it in the ghost market. In those days, foreigners would resell Playboy magazine to China, so it was normal for a photo book of a foreign woman to appear.

Qian Jin said, "Yes, we set a trap for you, but why don't you think about why we don't set traps for others?"

"Isn't it because your father committed a crime!"

"Besides, you fall into our trap? You accept prohibited books just because someone gives them to you? Would you accept a pretty girl if a spy put her in your bed?!"

Wei Xiongtu sat down next to him and patted him on the shoulder: "You are still young. Don't ruin your life because of your father's mistakes."

The Song emperor was moved to tears and ultimately agreed with the statement.

He is still young.

I can't go to jail!
He shouldn't go to jail for hiding banned books, otherwise even if he gets out of prison, he won't be able to return to the streets or see his classmates.

Even if you get caught doing black market trading, you can still earn praise from those around you for having "connections and courage."

If he gets arrested for reading pornography, people around him will call him a "perverted hooligan"!

He wiped away his tears and snot and expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Qian Jin asked him, "Can you find the criminal evidence your father hid? He arrogantly said that no one can find those things."

Song said, sobbing, "I can find it. I know he hid some important things at my grandparents' house."

Upon hearing this, Qian Jin secretly felt a sense of relief.

To obtain Song Hongbing's secrets, one really needs to rely on someone close to him.

He originally planned to capture Song Shou to threaten Song Hongbing, but after careful consideration, he abandoned the plan.

Because Song Hongbing might be desperate and resort to desperate measures, he would rather have his son detained than hand over these materials.

After all, the real trouble in the Song capital was selling things on the black market. As for the fact that the family was hiding forbidden books, that was a frame-up, and it wasn't really convenient to make it public.

First of all, Liu Jinshan doesn't want this matter to be made public. What will he do if the police hold him accountable? Will he have to give up the money again?
Taking all factors into consideration, Qian Jin chose to test the naive young Song Shoudu rather than confront the cunning Song Hongbing head-on.

Song was completely taken aback by the bluff. Early in the morning, he knocked on his grandparents' door and pulled out a leather document bag with the words "Confidential and Forbidden" smeared on it in red ink.

This is genuine cowhide material.

After Qian Jin opened it, there were many photos inside, including a photo of Liu Jinshan with a curvaceous young woman.

However, the photos only show Liu Jinshan with his arm around the young woman, and there are no explicit photos like the nude photos he mentioned.

Qian Jin was very disappointed.

He originally thought that if he had a good photo, he could betray Liu Jinshan and hand the guy over to the organization to be dealt with.

Is this the result?

These photos will at most result in Liu Jinshan being suspended from his post for a period of time to reflect on his actions, or even worse, he may not be suspended at all, but only given a party notice or a demerit.

This level of handling is not what Qian Jin wants.

Liu Jinshan was also dumbfounded after receiving the photo: "Huh? It's not what he said. This damn thing, this male dog, he was really bluffing me!"

Qian Jin asked, "What do you mean by 'as expected'? Perhaps he just hid those photos somewhere else?"

Liu Jinshan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that bad. This isn't a spy war between two countries where you have to play the trick of having multiple burrows."

"Based on my understanding of this dog, he doesn't have that many thoughts. All the incriminating information should be put together."

"Furthermore, when he threatened me earlier, he only showed me these photos of hugging and kissing. The so-called bed photos were just his verbal description. I asked to see the bed photos several times, but he refused with various excuses."

Qian Jin understood: "So you had guessed before that he didn't have those kinds of photos?"

Liu Jinshan nodded dejectedly: "Yes, but I didn't dare to take the risk, I can't gamble, so I let this bastard get his way!"

Qian Jin said, "Now that you know the truth, you don't have to worry anymore, right?"

Liu Jinshan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, I won't worry anymore. Captain Qian, we're all counting on you."

"You're telling me, you're telling me I was really out of my mind before, that I actually went against you, I was such a bastard!"

At this point, he repeatedly slapped his own lapels.

This time it was much more practical; they really whipped him hard.

Qian Jin pressed down on his shoulder and laughed, "It's alright, ignorance is no excuse, right? We'll just cooperate well from now on."

Liu Jinshan was deeply grateful: "Captain Qian, you are such a good person. Not only did you not blame me, but you also helped me a lot."

"Just you wait and see, I will absolutely serve you wholeheartedly, going through fire and water without batting an eye!"

Qian Jin responded with a "hehe".

If I believed you, I'd be a pig!
Liu Jinshan wanted to see what was wrong with the other foremen, so Qian Jin handed the file bag directly to Zhang Aijun.

He patted Liu Jinshan on the shoulder and said, "There are some things we'd better not get involved in. Let the organization decide."

Liu Jinshan was taken aback: "Huh? Captain Qian, if we hand these things over to the organization, our brigade will be in for a bloodbath!"

Qian Jin said, "What can I do? As a cadre in the organization, I have obtained evidence that some people are harming the interests of the organization and the people for their own selfish desires. Am I just supposed to turn a blind eye?"

"Deputy Captain Liu, do you think what I did was wrong?"

Liu Jinshan shuddered and hurriedly said:
"No, no, Captain Qian, I take you as my guiding light. Whatever you say, we'll do! You lead the way, I'll charge forward, no questions asked!"

Qian Jin nodded with a smile: "Very good, that's more like it. As long as our brigade headquarters remains stable, the sky won't fall down for the whole brigade!"

"It's dawn, go eat. I'll think about how best to handle this."

He needs to take a good look at this report on the conduct of the officials of the Jiagang Brigade.

As a leader who suddenly rose from the bottom, he was already struggling with how to lead the team.

Even though the foremen went to visit him when he was sick, it was just for show; these people didn't really care about him.

This can be seen from the conspiracy against him this time.

With a troublemaker leading the team, all eight teams went on strike.

This shows that the eight foremen didn't take him seriously.

It's unprecedented for work to be suspended for three days due to snow; this is an unusual situation.

If Qian Jin had any authority in their eyes, they wouldn't dare to actually stop work. Even if they wanted to stop work, they would have to report their opinions to their superiors and get a definite answer from them before they could.

But all eight teams stopped working.

There's nothing that can be done about the money coming in.

He must establish his authority!

What is the best way to establish authority?
It's always about making an example of someone to scare others!
What's a better way than making an example of someone to scare others?
Big purge!
Then replace them with your own team!
