Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

"Of course not. If it was at this time of year in previous years, when we were making coal cakes, then Jia Zhang... hehe!"

The aunt who was speaking sneered. Because many children in the yard were also helping with the work, she didn't say anything too harsh, but the adults knew what she meant.

If Jia Zhang was still alive, she would definitely do nothing all day and wait for Qin Huairu to serve her. Then, after they made the coal cakes, she would either let Banggeng steal them or just rob them openly.

There was no point in arguing with her. This old woman was very good at playing rogue. If she didn't make trouble for a while, Yi Zhonghai would have to stand up and pretend to be a good guy. By then, not only would his family not be able to recover the loss, but they might even have to pay the Jia family a sum of money.

But there was nothing we could do at that time, because Yi Zhonghai held a very high position in the courtyard and the factory.

But what about now? Yi Zhonghai is gone, the most trouble-making Jia Zhangshi, Bang Geng and Sha Zhu are all in jail, life is really stable now

This is also the reason why Bai Wanli has a high prestige in the courtyard.

Things like national policies and world patterns are too far away for these ordinary people. They only know that Bai Wanli has arrested bad guys like Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi and let them live a stable and harmonious life. That's enough.

However, Bai Wanli, who was being talked about by everyone, was not at home at the moment, but was attending a meeting at the Security Department.

It's the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year is approaching. This is probably the busiest time of the year for him as a leader.

He had to report to his superiors, the Armed Forces Department, on the work results of the Security Department this year, and he also had to listen to reports from his subordinates. After all, Director Bai Wanli was in charge of the security departments of several branch factories.

It's almost the end of the year, and it's time for my subordinates to cry poor to me.

After all, Chinese people attach great importance to the Chinese New Year. No matter how things are usually, they always want to celebrate the Chinese New Year with a happy family. All security departments hope that the department can send more supplies so that the brothers in the security department can have a prosperous New Year.

After three meetings in a row, Bai Wanli felt dizzy. He ate some mint preserves and drank a cup of strong tea to refresh himself. Then he asked someone to call Wang Guoqiang in.

"Director, what can I do for you?"

"Lao Wang, go check out the branch's recent transportation tasks and prepare a list for me. It's the end of the year, and I, as the director, should go and inspect it."

Wang Guoqiang, the transportation section chief, usually escorts materials between different factories. Most of his work is not inside the steel rolling mill, so his presence has always been low. He only showed up a little when the security department took collective action to catch enemy spies.

However, at the end of the year, Director Bai Wanli should also visit the various security departments under his jurisdiction to see how the subordinate units have performed in the past year and decide the amount of materials to be distributed at the end of the year.

The leaders did not go alone during the inspection. The Security Department usually went with the transportation team of the Transportation Department to complete the transportation tasks while inspecting. Wang Guoqiang, the transportation department chief, would be quite busy at this time.

"Yes, Chief, I'll give it to you in a moment."

After Wang Guoqiang returned to his office, he handed over the task of making the list to his security guard, and then immediately picked up the phone on his desk and made a call.

"Lao Guo, it's me, Guoqiang"

"Hey, Brother Qiang, what's the wind blowing today? Did you know to call your brother?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I have something to tell you today. It's the end of the year and the director is going to inspect all security departments. You better behave yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Oh! Thank you, Brother Qiang. When will the director come?"

"In four days, we will deliver a batch of materials to your factory as usual. The director will go to inspect it on that day."

"Brother, thank you so much, I will definitely treat you to a drink later!"

"I won't be polite to you, so don't be afraid when the time comes."

Wang Guoqiang exchanged a few words with Guo Shanfeng before hanging up the phone. He then called two security chiefs he knew well.

For most units, responding to leadership inspections is the top priority of the year's work. Wang Guoqiang, the transportation section chief who is responsible for transportation tasks and often travels between various branches, is the person around the director that these security section chiefs are most likely to contact. Naturally, each security section must entertain this transportation section chief well.

If you make Wang Guoqiang happy, you will get a reward. You can know the exact date of the director's inspection four or five days in advance, or even longer, so that you have enough time to prepare.

On the contrary, if Wang Guoqiang doesn't like it, he might inform the director one day in advance, or even simply not inform him of the inspection, and make it a real temporary inspection. The results of the inspection will be determined by fate.

This is also Wang Guoqiang's main way of gaining benefits.

Bai Wanli was well aware of these matters, but since they were all within the unspoken rules and nothing too outrageous happened, Bai Wanli just turned a blind eye and pretended not to know. It was almost the end of the year anyway, so what was wrong with everyone just having a peaceful and comfortable year?

After Guo Shanfeng hung up the phone, he immediately called several of his captains, who were only similar to the three major dipping sauces of the Security Department, but of a lower level.

"Brothers, I just received news that Director Bai will come to inspect in four days. You should quickly have people clean up the department and close any unresolved cases as soon as possible. You must leave a good impression on the director. Whether the department can have a good year this year depends on this performance."

No one dared to be careless during the leader's inspection, especially since the New Year's Eve involved everyone's interests, and no one dared to be lazy or slack. All of a sudden, the entire security department took action, cleaning the place and sorting out the cases, and they were busy in full swing.

As a leader, Bai Wanli certainly knows that such superficial efforts are not good, but the fact is, can his subordinates really be so careless as to do nothing if he just says "no need to do these superficial efforts"?

Impossible, so as long as there is no negative impact, let them be as they are, just to give them peace of mind.

Chapter 271 Cui Dake Kills a Pig and Offends People

At the gate of the machine repair factory, a large group of workers were gathered here at this time. The reason for the workers to gather here was that there was an animal in the middle that was snorting - a fat pig weighing more than 300 kilograms.

The machine repair factory was a small factory with only about 2,000 workers. Its scale was far smaller than that of the steel mill, and it was not particularly valued by its superiors. Therefore, the supplies it could receive were far less than those of the steel mill. It was normal to not have meat for two or three consecutive months, and it was impossible to have enough steamed buns made of two ounces of flour.

It was almost the end of the year, and the machine repair factory had finally bought a pig from the countryside, ready to kill it for the workers' meal. At the same time, the superior of the security department was coming to inspect soon. Although the security department was not in the same system as the machine repair factory, Director Bai had a close relationship with the leader of the steel mill and had been praised by the big shopkeeper. It would not be a bad thing to make a good relationship with him.

The workers also heard that they were going to slaughter pigs and eat pork today, and they couldn't help but come over to see the slaughtering scene.

Director Zhang of the machine repair factory urged anxiously:

"Cui Dake, do you know how to kill a pig? If not, don't waste time. I'll go get the workers from the slaughterhouse!"

The pigs were delivered, but no one in the slaughterhouse knew how to kill them. The chefs in the kitchen were usually good at killing fish and chickens, but the pigs were too big, so killing them was completely different from killing chickens.

Cui Dake, a farmer who had sent pigs from a rural commune, volunteered to help and said he knew how to kill pigs.

As a result, Cui Dake held the knife and hesitated for a long time before taking action.

In fact, Cui Dake didn't know how to slaughter a pig at all. After all, there weren't many opportunities to slaughter a pig and eat meat in the countryside nowadays. Even if there were pigs to be slaughtered, the ones who would slaughter them would be the respected elders in the village. Young people like Cui Dake could just watch from the side. How could they have the chance to get involved personally?

It's just that Cui Dake really wanted to live in the old city. When he heard the factory leader say that no one knew how to kill pigs, he said he could do it. He wanted to please the factory director Zhang, get a job, and stay in the old city.

But he didn't know how to kill a pig. He was so numb holding the knife that he hesitated, not knowing what to do.

When Cui Dake heard Director Zhang's urging, he knew he was in a difficult situation, so he made up his mind: "Let's fight!" He closed his eyes and stabbed the pig with the knife.

The knife stabbed the pig's neck, but Cui Dake's force was not enough and the knife failed to penetrate the pig's trachea and blood vessels. The pig screamed in pain and then ran away.

“Oh my god!!”

"The pig is shocked!!"

In the animal world, size is king. A 300-pound pig running madly is impossible for a normal person to stop. Several people nearby were knocked to the ground by the pig. People outside scattered when they saw the pig going crazy, fearing that they would be the next to be injured.

The frightened pig ran away in any direction. Director Zhang was very anxious when he saw it: "Catch the pig quickly! We only have this one pig!"

The mad pig ran too fast for the workers behind to catch up. Fortunately, there were patrolling security guards who stopped it in front, but the effect was still limited because the security department did not have the right tools.

The guard stick is effective for hitting people, but it is not very effective for hitting pigs with thick skin and flesh. Moreover, the guard stick is too short, so the guard has to get close to the pig to attack it, but he can also be easily injured by the pig.

As for the gun...shooting is a very serious matter and needs to be reported.

The shooting was just to kill a mad pig. Even Section Chief Guo Shanfeng was embarrassed to write such a report.

Just as the security guards were in a panic, three trucks slowly stopped at the entrance of the machine repair shop. The two people in the first truck came down the mountain and saw the chaotic situation. Their faces were not very good.

One of them ran over quickly and kicked the pig in the neck. The pig flew several meters into the air and fell heavily to the ground without moving.

The security guards and the workers at the machine repair shop didn't expect that someone could kick a 300-pound pig away. They were all dumbfounded.

"Who is that person? He kicked the pig away with just one kick. So cool!"

"It looks like he's wearing a security uniform."

"Nonsense! I know all the people in our factory's security department. There is no such person!"

"Are you all blind? Didn't that man get off the truck with Chief Wang from the Security Department? He must be from the Security Department."

"Huh? Why does this person look familiar to me?"

The workers were talking about it, but Director Zhang was the first to recognize the person coming and his face changed.

At this time, Wang Guoqiang also ran over and said to the security guard of the machine repair factory with a sullen face: "Why don't you go and call your section chief over! This is Director Bai!"

Hearing the name "Director Bai", several security guards were shocked. They all knew that the security department had been cleaning up recently in preparation for the director's visit. They didn't expect that the director would come and make a fool of himself before he could show the security department's good image. They all felt bitter.

"It's over, it's over. If the director sees me in this embarrassing state, I will be punished by the section chief if not the director."

But the leader's order had to be carried out. Several security guards looked at each other, and finally the oldest security guard ran to the security office with a feeling of visiting a grave.

As soon as the security guard left, Director Zhang came over sweating profusely and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry, Comrade Bai Wanli, we didn't do our job well and frightened you."

Director Zhang's attitude was very polite, even humble, and he used honorifics.

As a factory director, he is far inferior to Lao Yang. Because the factory is small, he is only at the director level. His political level is lower than Bai Wanli, who was promoted after the enemy spy case. He has no guns and law enforcement power. The gap between the two prospects is even greater. In addition, this time he made mistakes in his work and he is not in the right. In this case, Director Zhang can only lower his attitude so that Bai Wanli will not take it to heart.

Although Bai Wanli only inspected the security department, he also learned about the situation of the machine repair factory from Wang Guoqiang

"You must be Comrade Zhang Yonghua, the director of the machine repair factory. May I ask what happened?"

Director Zhang explained helplessly, "It's almost the end of the year, isn't it? The factory purchased a pig from a commune in the countryside and wanted to stew the meat for everyone, but no one in the factory knew how to kill a pig. Cui Dake, who delivered the pig, said he could kill it, so I asked him to try. As a result, he cut the pig with the knife and it got scared and went crazy. As a result..."

Although Director Zhang's expression and tone were awkward and helpless, he hated Cui Da to the core.

"Damn it! If you can't kill a pig, just say you can't! What are you trying to show off? ! "

"If this pig runs away, the workers will have no meat to eat and they will blame me!"

"If this pig hurts Bai Wanli, the Bai family will not forgive me!"

"Cui Dake, you are really capable! You almost made me offend all the workers and the Bai family!"

Chapter 272 Bai Wanli inspects the work

At this moment, Cui Dake had been caught by the workers and was pressed in front of Bai Wanli and Director Zhang.

Cui Dake had several footprints on his body, and Mai Tai's face was covered with scars. It seemed that he was beaten up when he was caught. It seemed that the workers also understood that their pork was almost gone because of this guy, so they took advantage of the chaos to vent their anger.

Although the machine repair shop is small, it has 2,000 workers. The law does not punish the masses, so no one will care about Cui Dake's injuries.

Cui Dake knew that he had messed up. He was good at calculating and observing people's expressions. He knew from the look in Director Zhang's eyes that he was very angry. He pleaded with a bitter face:

"Leader! I just made a mistake for a moment, please give me another chance!"

Director Zhang was so angry that he almost exploded. He just believed Cui Dake's words and let him try to kill the pig. He originally thought that if it worked, he could just assign him a job as a sweeper. After all, he was just a temporary worker without a workstation. But he didn't expect that he would cause such a big mess.

Now, hearing Cui Dake still had the nerve to ask him for another chance, Director Zhang was furious. If Bai Wanli hadn't been here, he would have shamelessly greeted Cui Dake's ancestors with beautiful words.

Bai Wanli scolded with a cold face:

"Nonsense! What do you mean by a momentary mistake?! Your momentary mistake almost caused all the workers in the factory to have no meat to eat today, and you haven't even apologized to them yet. You are just making excuses for yourself. If you can't kill a pig, then just say you can't. Everyone has something they are not good at. Why is it so hard to admit it?"
