Courtyard House: Drunk and barging into the Xu family's house, I woke up numb.

"It'll be here soon, get your red envelopes ready."

As Cao Xu stepped out of the factory, a hint of envy flickered in his eyes as he watched the orderly procession leaving after get off work.

Now we'll see what tomorrow's factory-wide meeting brings. The plan has been set up; it's just a matter of whether anyone will fall into it.

Chapter 42 Unexpected Situation: He Yuzhu is in Trouble!

The following day, a factory-wide criticism meeting was officially held.

Cao Xu, like other security personnel, stood on the periphery of the crowd, maintaining order at the scene.

The steel rolling mill workers had already brought their stools and folding stools and sat in the small square, waiting to see what would happen.

Although it's the weekend, there were still quite a few people at the venue, at least two thousand.

Before long, Sun Guofu, the head of the security department, brought He Yuzhu to the venue.

At this moment, He Yuzhu had completely lost his former arrogance, and the dark circles under his eyes showed that he hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep even after arriving at Sun Guofu's place.

Looking down at the dense crowd below, even with his thick skin, He Yuzhu felt ashamed.

At that moment, he felt intense hatred, especially when he saw Xu Damao standing below him; he wished he could devour him alive.

In the thirty years since he was born, He Yuzhu has never been as humiliated as he is today.

When they were in the security department, they said that all those things they did were confessed to by Xu Damao.

That's right. When Cheng Yuan was investigating He Yuzhu, although he consulted Ma Hua, Liu Lan and others, he did not disclose the information in accordance with the principle of confidentiality.

He Yuzhu's investigation report highlighted Xu Damao's testimony.

"Comrades and fellow workers, I think you all know why we are holding this denunciation meeting here today."

"He Yuzhu, a cook in the staff canteen, embezzled public funds and made a disgraceful contribution."

"Now that his alleged actions have been verified, He Yuzhu will now come up to the stage to give a self-criticism to all the factory employees!"

After Sun Guofu finished speaking, he noticed that He Yuzhu hadn't come out, which made him frown.

At this moment, Yao Hao, the deputy leader of Group 1 of the Security Department, ran up to the stage and whispered something in Sun Guofu's ear.

After listening, Sun Guofu went backstage and asked.

"What exactly happened? How could someone who was perfectly healthy suddenly have diarrhea?"

What did you feed him this morning?

The security guard next to him replied.

"Director, he only drank a bowl of porridge and ate a steamed bun, both of which he got from the canteen."

Sun Guofu snorted.

"Then how could you have diarrhea?"

"Also, how long have you been gone? Go and bring him back right away!"

"The leaders and workers have all arrived, and he's the one being criticized. Are we supposed to keep everyone waiting for him?"

"Xiao Yao, go and see him, bring him back to me!"

Indeed, after Sun Guofu stepped down, the workers' emotions had already changed.

Now everyone knows that He Yuzhu has come out to confess and repent. If no one comes out, there is a risk of trouble.

Shortly after, Yao Hao, the deputy leader of the group, ran back, panting.

"Director, Sha Zhu is indeed having some health problems, and he probably won't be able to come over anytime soon."

Cheng Yuan stepped forward and pointed at the crowd below the stage.

"Can't get through?"

“Deputy Team Leader Yao, look closely, there are more than two thousand people in the square today.”

Are you going to keep these people waiting for him?

"If something goes wrong, can your group bear the responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Guofu's face showed anxiety. At this moment, Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide walked over.

"Director Sun, what's going on? The meeting has already started, so why hasn't He Yuzhu come up on stage yet?"

Sun Guofu walked over to Li Huaide and recounted He Yuzhu's story.

Li Huaide frowned as he spoke.

"How could such a thing happen? Is this how your security department does its job?"

Yao Hao stepped forward and addressed Li Huaide.

“Deputy Factory Director Li, actually, you can’t entirely blame Director Sun for this.”

"Ever since it snowed a few days ago, the temperature in Beijing has been dropping day by day."

"Our interrogation room doesn't have a stove, so it's understandable that he has some health issues..."

Deputy Factory Director Li interrupted Yao Hao.

"I don't care what your reasons are, there are over two thousand people waiting here, how do you plan to resolve this!"

“The meeting cannot proceed without the person being criticized.”

"If the workers get agitated and cause any trouble, Director Sun, will you take responsibility?"

Sun Guofu said urgently.

"Yao Hao, go and drag He Yuzhu here right now, even if you have to carry him, bring him to the scene."

Yao Hao smiled wryly.

"Director, that silly Zhu is still squatting in the toilet."

“If we let him come over now, what if he wets his pants on stage? That would be…”

That's true, what if he peed in his pants on stage? That would be a huge joke.

Neither left nor right, what should we do?

Seeing Sun Guofu sweating profusely with anxiety, Cao Xu couldn't help but laugh.

At that moment, a security guard from Group 1 ran over.

"Distinguished leaders, the workers below are becoming agitated."

Li Huaide pointed at Sun Guofu and said.

"You... really..."

"Never mind, I don't know what to say to you."

"I'm asking you, is there another denunciation meeting this afternoon?"

Sun Guofu didn't know why Li Huaide would ask this, but he still answered truthfully.

"Yes, her name is Zhang Cuihua."

Li Huaide said.

"Then let her work for now, morning or evening, she'll have to work sooner or later."

"Let her get checked first, to distract the workers and prevent anything from actually happening."

Sun Guofu responded in response.

"Good, good, Deputy Factory Director Li, that's a good idea."

"Let her go up and be criticized first. After He Yuzhu is better, we can let him go up on stage later."

Seeing that Deputy Factory Director Li had left, Sun Guofu turned to Cao Xu and said.

"Cao Xu, go and bring Zhang Cuihua here."

Cao Xu feigned a troubled expression.

"Director Sun, this is Cuihua's self-criticism report, which hasn't been written yet. She can't read."

Sun Guofu said.

"Can't you speak even if you can't read?"

"Tell her to go up on stage and honestly explain the mistakes she made, and then talk about what she plans to do in the future."

"I'll handle the rest!"

Seeing Sun Guofu say this, Cao Xu didn't know what else to say.

"Zhao Dong, go and bring the person to the venue."

Seeing Zhao Dong leave to take people away, Sun Guofu returned to the stage and subtly explained He Yuzhu's situation.

Before long, Jia Zhangshi was brought to the scene, and Zhao Dong escorted her to the stage.

“Mrs. Jia, once you’re in power, just tell the truth.”
