Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

"Comrade, your ideology and morality are really not good!"

Bai Wanli, a section chief, would not lower himself to spit trash words at a small figure like Cui Dake, but his powerful words directly sentenced Cui Dake to social death. All the workers, including the security guards, glared at him.

Bai Wanli said to Director Zhang:

"Director Zhang, don't waste your time with him. Leave the follow-up issues to the Security Department."

"I kicked the pig to death. It won't struggle anymore. Please ask the workers to carry it to the kitchen and ask the chef to cut it up. Don't delay the workers' lunch."

"Okay, okay, Master Zheng, please find a few strong people to carry the pig to the kitchen and let Master Nan Yi cook it. Make sure there is nothing wrong with today's lunch."

"Director Bai, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, the workers wouldn't have had a good meal today. As a thank you, I would like to invite you to taste the cooking of our cafeteria chef Nan Yi."

"This is too presumptuous. I am here to inspect the security department today. I don't want to disturb the workers' meal."

"Don't be presumptuous, don't delay. This is also to express our gratitude to Director Bai. Please agree to it, Director Bai."

"This..." Bai Wanli pretended to hesitate, "Well, I'll talk to Section Chief Guo later. If there's no problem with him, I'll try the cooking skills of the chef at the machine repair factory."

Of course Guo Shanfeng would not refuse. Director Zhang had already discussed it with him. Director Zhang was delighted.

"By the way, Director Zhang, this time Chief Wang and I have escorted a batch of materials from the steel mill. Please take them over."

As a subsidiary of the steel mill, the machine repair factory received many production tasks from the steel mill, and also needed to rely on the steel mill for relief when materials were in short supply. Now the steel mill is doing well, so this relationship can still be maintained. But after the 1980s and 1990s, when state-owned factories collectively faced difficulties in profitability and transformation, the useless younger brother of the machine repair factory was probably the first to be abandoned.

But that is also the normal development path. Now that the world has been influenced by Bai Wanli, who knows what the future will be like?

Guo Shanfeng, the head of the Security Department, ran over in a hurry. Seeing that Bai Wanli and Director Zhang were having a good chat, he did not immediately go up to interrupt them. However, Wang Guoqiang saw Guo Shanfeng and immediately called him over, lowering his voice and saying:

"Old Guo! Didn't I tell you that the director would be coming over today? How did it turn out like this?!"

Guo Shanfeng had already heard the security guard's report and explained with sweat on his forehead:

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this! I only knew that the machine repair factory had a pig to be slaughtered today, and I even discussed with Director Zhang about preparing two delicious dishes to entertain the director. Who would have thought that a good thing would turn into a bad thing, and slaughtering a pig could... Oh!"

Wang Guoqiang had just heard what Director Zhang had said and knew that this was indeed a coincidence and that Guo Shanfeng could not be blamed.

Guo Shanfeng asked in a low voice:

"Brother, how is the director feeling now?"

"Don't worry, the director is not a petty person. Based on my understanding of the director, he won't be angry with you for such a small matter. But remember to behave normally afterwards. Don't try to make up for your mistake by deliberately doing anything. The director hates people like this the most. Just follow the normal work procedures."

"I'll remember that. I'll definitely treat you to a meal later."

Guo Shanfeng and Wang Guoqiang stood together and waited. When Bai Wanli and Director Zhang had finished talking, Guo Shanfeng came over and stood at attention and said:

"Report to the Director! I am Guo Shanfeng, the head of the security department of the machine repair factory!"

"Hello, Comrade Guo Shanfeng, we are about to receive a batch of materials escorted from the steel mill. Please send someone to escort them. Let me see how you are doing."

This time, three trucks brought nearly 15 tons of materials, all of which were steel and valuable. The escort and receipt of materials between such important factories required security guards to carry guns to protect against robbery or sabotage. This was the basic job of security guards.

Bai Wanli chose this day to come here to inspect the security department's work capabilities in this area.

"Yes, Director, I will arrange for someone right away!"

Guo Shanfeng quickly called in people, each of whom was armed and worked with the members of the Transportation Section of the Security Department to strictly guard the entire process of transferring the materials to the warehouse. If anyone approached during this period, they could shoot and kill them if three warnings were ineffective.

Guo Shanfeng knew that Bai Wanli would come today and would definitely inspect the process of their material transportation. It was like an open-book exam, and the difficulty was too low. The security team members worked in accordance with the process and there was nothing wrong with them.

After all the materials were put into the warehouse, Bai Wanli asked Guo Shanfeng to take him to the Security Office for inspection.

When he arrived at the security room, Bai Wanli was relieved to see no big red banner that said "Welcome XXX leader to visit and guide us". Otherwise, he would have stepped on his toes.

However, Bai Wanli noticed that there were two aligned small holes on the walls on both sides of the door. Perhaps banners were originally nailed there with thumbtacks, but after hearing Wang Guoqiang's advice, Guo Shanfeng removed this fancy thing?

Chapter 273 How did I offend the director? !

The inspection of the security department's work is simple. In addition to checking the work status, the remaining important thing is to check the management of guns, and also to ask how many people have been arrested and interrogated this year to see how the security department is doing in maintaining discipline.

Anyway, this is the same routine as in previous years. Bai Wanli is too lazy to add more work to himself, so he just follows the rules of previous years and goes through the process again.

On the other side, several workers grunted and carried the dead pig to the back kitchen of the machine repair factory.

"Chef Nan! Chef Nan Yi!"

Chef Nan Yi was teaching his apprentice how to cut meatballs. When he heard the sound, he put down his knife and came over.

"Is this the pig we're going to cook today? Didn't they say it would be sent over after it was slaughtered? Why hasn't it been slaughtered yet?"

Nan Yi saw several people carrying a white pig, but the pig's stomach was not cut open, and asked curiously:

Several workers threw the pig to the ground. The leader, Master Zheng, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Hey, don't mention it! The guy who brought the pig said he could kill it, so the factory manager let him try. But when he stabbed it with a knife, the pig didn't die. It got scared and almost ran away. We won't have any meat to eat today."

"Luckily, Director Bai from the Security Department arrived just in time and kicked the pig to death."

Nan Yi was surprised:

"A person can kick a pig to death with just one kick, how can I not believe it?" Nan Yi went over to touch the pig out of curiosity. There was indeed an obvious footprint on the pig's neck. He pressed down and heard a crackling sound inside. It should be the bones that were broken into pieces. When Nan Yi pressed, the broken bones rubbed against each other, making a sound.

"Chef Nan Yi, why would I lie to you? There were at least hundreds of eyes watching this, Chef Nan Yi. The pig is already dead, and no one in the factory knows how to kill a pig. I'd like to trouble the chefs in the kitchen to chop the pig up. The factory director said that there must be no mistakes with today's lunch. This meal is to entertain Director Bai, a big shot who has been in the newspapers. We can't afford to offend him."

Nan Yi thought: "It may be a bit troublesome for the kitchen to handle this pig, but I can save some ingredients to make a dish for Qiu Nan."

Thinking of this, Nan Yi agreed.

"Okay, we'll leave this pig to our kitchen. Can you guys help move the pig over there?"

"Okay, come on, let's work together, one, two, three! Go!"

Several workers moved the dead pig onto the platform. Nan Yi asked his apprentice to boil water so that they could remove the hair from the pig. He then asked someone to pull the pig to the side of the platform, letting its upper body hang down. Then he felt around for a while and stabbed the pig with a knife.

The bright red pig blood flowed out into a large basin on the ground. After adding salt, it solidified in a short while.

Then the bled pig is thrown into hot water, and the people in the kitchen work together to remove the hair from the pig.

The people in the kitchen were not professional pig butchers, but there was strength in numbers, and with several people working together, the progress was not slow. After a while, the pig was made smooth, and then the pig was moved to the table, and a knife was used to cut the pig's belly, and the hot pig offal came out.

Nan Yi instructed others to remove the pig's head and four legs first, while he cut a small piece of liver and hid it while no one was paying attention.

Looking back, this pig was indeed well-fed. The white fat made people drool. However, the part near the neck was too broken, and the bone fragments were embedded in the meat.

"Master, the bones are broken into pieces. Should we pick out the broken bones before we stew the pig's head?"

Nan Yi knew that the factory was going to slaughter a pig and cook today, so he had already ordered the menu, including roasted pork with potatoes, bone and carrot soup, and stir-fried pork offal with beans, which was just the head and offal.

Although the amount of meat in each dish is not much, it is already the best meal in the machine repair factory this year.

"Broken bones need to be picked out, Dabao, you are careful. When you go to pick out the bones, remember not to throw away the bones you pick out. Putting them into the bone soup can also add some flavor."

"Okay, Master"

The kitchen soon became bustling with activity. Nan Yi processed the offal himself, Da Bao picked out the bones, and the rest cut up the pig according to Nan Yi's requirements.

Nan Yi's disciples are much more generous than Sha Zhu. They can do simple tasks like cutting pork. They live much better than Fatty and Ma Hua who were Sha Zhu's subordinates before.

As the kitchen gradually became busy, the long-lost smell of meat gradually drifted to the nearby workshop. After smelling the meat, the workers in the workshop suddenly became more motivated.

Bai Wanli also followed Guo Shanfeng to patrol the factory. This was part of his inspection work.

Seeing that the workers in the machine repair factory were obviously more enthusiastic about meat than those in the steel rolling mill, Bai Wanli asked curiously, "How often do the workers in the machine repair factory eat meat?"

Guo Shanfeng explained: "The scale of the machine repair factory is too small, and the benefits are average. We rarely eat meat. During the difficult period, we didn't eat meat for three years. Normally, we only eat meat two or three times a year."

Compared to the machine repair factory, the treatment of the security department of the machine repair factory is quite good. The appearance of Bai Wanli has brought a lot of benefits and rewards to the security department of the steel rolling mill. The scale of the security department of the machine repair factory is small, and the little money leaked from the security department is enough for the security department to live a good life.

Bai Wanli shook his head helplessly. Eating meat two or three times a year was indeed too miserable. Although it was impossible for a steel mill to eat meat every day, it was generally possible to eat meat once a week.

"There is no other way. Right now, there is not enough food for people to eat, let alone feed livestock. Before the food production increases dramatically, it is almost impossible to solve the meat consumption problem in China."

"How about trying to smuggle some low-priced meat from Hong Kong Island to China? But I can't go to Hong Kong Island every few days just to sell meat. If I do that, I'll have to build a super large cold storage in Hong Kong Island."

"Otherwise, with the current scale of cold storage in Hong Kong Island, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support the domestic market demand."

"Besides, there is no cold chain transportation in China now. If we sell frozen pork, we can probably only take care of the cities in the southeast coast, and we still can't take care of the north."

"Do we need to get a refrigerated container ship to deliver the goods to the Tianjin Port? But Tianjin doesn't have the facilities to receive refrigerated containers."

'The more I think about it, the more annoyed I am. We still have to find a way to make money in China as quickly as possible, and then send a few more top scientists and engineers to China, so that development can really accelerate!'

Bai Wanli's thoughts diverged, and he couldn't help frowning when he thought about the development of Hong Kong Island and the mainland.

This made Guo Shanfeng next to him terrified.

"Didn't Brother Guoqiang say that the director was in a good mood?! How did I offend the director?! "

Chapter 274 Nan Yi and Ding Qiunan

Bai Wanli's frown made Guo Shanfeng feel uneasy, fearing that he might have offended this young and promising director by doing something wrong. However, he couldn't ask directly about this kind of question.

It was not until he returned to the Security Department that Bai Wanli remembered that he was here to inspect the work today. Although he almost forgot what he inspected today, he just said a few polite words.

"Chief Guo, you have done a great job and lived up to the trust the organization has placed in you."

Guo Shanfeng said cautiously:

"You are overpraising me, Director. This is all due to his good leadership."

Bai Wanli keenly felt that this section chief, whose appearance could stop a baby's night crying, seemed to be a little afraid of him, and his eyes were full of confusion. He did not give this section chief Guo a warning today. Although the incident with Cui Dake made the Security Department lose face, Bai Wanli knew that it was not the Security Department's fault and did not blame them for anything. What was this section chief Guo worried about?

Wang Guoqiang noticed something and said:

"Director, now that the work inspection is over, I would like to go out for a cigarette with Section Chief Guo. Is that okay?"

"There's no need to report this little thing. Just go by yourselves. I just want to take a break."

"Thank you, Director."

After Wang Guoqiang saluted, he took Guo Shanfeng away, leaving Bai Wanli to stay in Guo Shanfeng's office for the time being. Since he had nothing to do, Bai Wanli just remembered the thoughts that had just been interrupted.

"Hong Qi's business in Hong Kong Island is doing well. He has squeezed out many competitors with his tactics of not sparing any cost. His business and territory are getting bigger and bigger. Now he has started to contact some upper-class people in Hong Kong Island through Lu Chengliang's connections. If he continues to develop at this speed, in another half a year, I should be able to win over or replace all the main high-level people in Hong Kong Island. By then, both the black and white worlds will be under my control, and Hong Kong Island will basically be in my hands."

"Using Hong Kong Island as a springboard, I can not only send weapons and manpower to cause trouble for the Lighthouse and other Western camps, but also send machines and advanced talents to the country to help the development of the country."

"But this transportation route... there must be someone in the country lurking in Hong Kong Island, collecting intelligence about Hong Kong Island in order to fight against the Western camp and prepare to take back Hong Kong Island in 97. Why don't we try to contact them?"

"But how can we contact them? Posting an advertisement won't work."

"If you can't find the person's phone number, why not just be simpler and more direct and go directly to the governor of Nanyue. It's hard to find a group of hidden special members, so is it not easy to find an open governor?"
