A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Qiao Lanshu came out of the warehouse and headed towards the building where the factory director's office was located.

In Yang Wenyan's office, Secretary Wen was also sitting, along with the head of the personnel department, other department heads, and supervisors.

Liu Weihong, who had just argued with Qiao Lanshu that morning, was also standing in the crowd.

They just had a management meeting.

As soon as Qiao Lanshu entered, she saw so many people, but she walked in without changing her expression: "Factory Manager, you wanted to see me?"

Yang Wenyan nodded, his expression complicated, and said, "Xiao Qiao, we've already sent people to investigate the big-character poster. The initial estimate is that it was posted late last night, but we haven't found out who posted it yet."

Qiao Lanshu: "..."

Upon hearing the result, Qiao Lanshu did not express disappointment.

She had anticipated this outcome.

Since the other party dared to do such a thing to slander someone's innocence, they must have taken precautions to cover it up.

It's impossible for anyone to see it.

It's the dead of winter now, the wind is strong and it's very cold at night, so almost no one goes out.

There is a security guard on duty in the guard room of the food factory, but the guard is old and it is cold at night, so it is impossible for him to keep an eye on the factory all the time.

In addition, there are basically no thieves these days. After all, the Revolutionary Committee is located in the city. Who would dare to risk their life to steal from the food factory?

With lax security and a low wall, it would be quite easy for someone to climb over and put up a big poster.

Qiao Lanshu nodded; "I understand. So, factory manager, what's the next step?"

Qiao Lanshu: "Should we report it to the police station, or go to the military base to find someone? Or perhaps go to the Revolutionary Committee?"

Everyone: "..."

Secretary Wen quickly said, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, let's not get agitated. Our factory will definitely give you an explanation for this matter. Don't report it to the police yet; it will have a negative impact on our factory."

Qiao Lanshu only refrained from reporting the case because of Yang Wenyan.

Otherwise, she would have gone to the police station to report the case the moment she saw the poster, instead of waiting until now.

Yang Wenyan was also unlucky. Being a factory director was busy enough, but then the factory workers kept getting into trouble every now and then.

However, Yang Wenyan thought again that these big-character posters and such were all minor matters.

He heard that other units in the province, including those infiltrated by spies, had not only had their section chiefs and directors stripped of their positions but were also facing labor reform.

Yang Wenyan felt sorry for Qiao Lanshu.

After he gets off work, he still has to go and explain to Qin Yuanzheng, so that Qin Yuanzheng won't blame him.

Yang Wenyan said solemnly, "I have already had the broadcaster announce that the person who posted the big-character poster should turn himself in. We will treat him leniently. Otherwise, the army will have to get involved tomorrow, and if they are found out, the situation will become serious."

The head of the personnel department also said;

"Yes, all workshop supervisors, go back and talk to the workers in your workshops about this matter. If our factory handles this, at most it will just be a wage reduction, but if the military takes over, it's like defaming an officer. I don't know how to deal with that."

These days, permanent employees are not easily dismissed. Now that he has stepped forward and admitted to the matter, he can actually keep his job.

Upon hearing this, the workshop supervisors nodded in agreement, indicating that they would go back and tell the workers in their workshops.

As everyone was discussing this, someone muttered, "Even if the military comes, what can they do if they can't find anyone? They'll just use military officers to intimidate people."

Qiao Lanshu was nearby and heard it; Liu Weihong had deliberately said it to her.

She turned her head and, sure enough, saw Liu Weihong rolling her eyes at her.

Qiao Lanshu smiled and said;

"Don't you know? The army has special investigative methods. As long as the person who posted the big-character poster wasn't wearing gloves, the army can extract his fingerprints from the poster. Then, they'll have all the employees of our food factory come and compare their fingerprints. Anyone who doesn't come is considered guilty and can be arrested and interrogated."

Everyone: "..."

Unbeknownst to everyone, Liu Weihong's expression became slightly tense.

Secretary Wen slapped his forehead and said in shock, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, do you even know how to extract fingerprints?"

Qiao Lanshu wasn't quite sure how to do it, but if you're willing to learn, you can definitely learn it.

After all, she had seen it in the tree when she was in high school in Guangzhou.

Qiao Lanshu nodded: "The method for extracting fingerprints is not difficult, but it requires some tools. It's not easy to do today. After I get off work, I'll have my family prepare them, and the military personnel will come to extract them tomorrow."

Yang Wenyan exclaimed, "Comrade Xiao Qiao, you truly are brilliant! Since we have this method, we don't need to investigate anymore. Tomorrow, we can just have everyone compare their fingerprints!"

Qiao Lanshu nodded and said, "However, all workshop supervisors should still pass this message on, so that no one takes leave or anything that might affect the progress of the investigation."

Yang Wenyan immediately said, "Yes! Let's do it that way!"

The factory director and the party secretary both agreed, so naturally no one else had any objections.

However, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and returned to the workshop with heavy hearts.

Everyone was worried that the person who posted the big-character poster might be a worker from their own workshop.

After all, the year-end performance evaluation is just around the corner.

All the managers have worked diligently and worked hard all year, just so they can be recognized as model workers, outstanding employees, or excellent employees at the end of the year.

If the workers in my own workshop cause any trouble, then all of this will be gone.

After everyone in the office had left.

Qiao Lanshu walked up to Yang Wenyan and whispered, "Factory Director, I have something to say to you."

Qiao Lanshu came up with such a great idea for fingerprint verification that Yang Wenyan was overjoyed.

As long as the person who posted the big-character poster is caught, this matter can be resolved promptly.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, he also wanted to take a couple of days off to relax.

He stood up and asked, "What is it?"

Qiao Lanshu lowered her voice and whispered a few words in his ear.

The more Yang Wenyan listened, the more serious he became.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Didn't we say we were going to collect fingerprints and check them with all the workers in the factory? What happened? Are we not collecting them anymore?"

There was no one in the office right now, just the two of them, but the office door was open, so Qiao Lanshu kept her voice very low.

She said, "This is the dumbest method. If the method I suggested doesn't work, then we can try fingerprint extraction."

Extracting fingerprints is not difficult; the difficulty lies in verifying and questioning each of the hundreds of workers in the factory.

After all, there are no machines that can do this kind of thing, so the workload is indeed huge.

Furthermore, if the person is not from the food factory but someone from outside, then it will be even harder to find them.

If there were a simpler way, then we certainly wouldn't have wasted so much manpower and resources;

After all, it was just a big-character poster, and Qiao Lanshu didn't want to make a big fuss and waste the troops' energy.

After listening to Qiao Lanshu's words, Yang Wenyan said in a low voice, "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I'll personally bring men to the factory tonight to keep watch!"
