Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Now Bai Wanli asked the Security Department to crack down on violations. The Security Department still has room to make money by deducting accounts, but the subsequent income will not be earned. This affects the welfare of everyone in the Security Department, and they are of course not happy.

Fang Wei chuckled and said:

"Look at the clothes you're wearing. You're from the Security Department. Why are you afraid of offending anyone? And we strictly follow the rules and regulations. Even if it's inhumane, it's right according to the rules. If this matter is brought to any government office in the country, we're not wrong. What's there to be afraid of?"

"As for the benefits, if you guys trust me, give me three months. If you guys get less benefits, I will make it up to you guys myself. I will never break my promise."

Fang Wei is older than Liu Neng and has been the head of the Security Department for six or seven years. Apart from the three years of famine, he has had a good life and enjoys a high reputation in the Security Department.

Now that Fang Wei had said this, no one made a fuss. After the meeting, everyone left and passed on the new order. Only the captain who had spoken first stayed.

"Brother, do we really have to obey the orders of the new director?"

Without outsiders, the man spoke to Fang Wei in a much more casual tone.

His name is Fang Qiang. He is Fang Wei's cousin, a dozen years younger than him. He is now a captain in the security department.

Fang Wei smiled, lit a cigarette, and said:

"Qiangzi, let me ask you, not to mention our security department, is there any captain younger than you in the entire security department?"

"Of course not."

"Then tell me, how did you become the captain at such a young age?"

Fang Qiang showed a flattering smile and said: "Of course, this is all because of your care, cousin. I will be grateful for the rest of my life."

Fang Wei laughed and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense to me. You can become the captain because of my relationship. That Director Bai is younger than you in terms of age, but he is already the director. Your brother is my superior. Guess what this means?"

Fang Qiang's eyes turned and he whispered, "Brother, do you mean that his background is very powerful?"

"Awesome, of course it's awesome! I've heard about it a long time ago. The uncle of Director Bai is the Minister of the Armed Forces, the top leader, our real superior. Compared to him, our family's connections are nothing."

"This director is truly a rare talent. He will rise to a high position in a few years. If we brothers can show our faces in front of Director Bai and let him use us, we will also be able to reap many benefits when he is promoted in the future."

"Compared with the future prospects, the little benefit we lack now is nothing"

"Qiangzi, you need to have a longer-term vision."

After hearing what Fang Wei said, Fang Qiang's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

He is much younger than Fang Wei, so he is naturally more motivated and wants to climb up.

Now that he understood the pros and cons, Fang Qiang seemed to have seen a bright future ahead of him, and he no longer cared about the petty gains.

As long as you climb up to Bai Wanli's high branch and have a future, why would you be afraid of not having money?

"I understand, brother. I will definitely perform well and will never miss this opportunity!"

Chapter 8 Security Department Strict Enforcement

From this day on, the Security Department began to strictly enforce discipline.

Gambling, fighting, smuggling, and other things that used to be allowed to go unpunished are now strictly punished, and the punishment is also strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations. The situation in which people could be redeemed by paying money has almost disappeared.

Not to mention ordinary workers, even relatives of some leaders can be arrested and imprisoned at will.

There were so many arrests that the security department ran out of detention rooms.

The Security Department simply used an abandoned warehouse in the steel mill to detain people.

This warehouse has been abandoned for many years and has not been demolished. In addition, since it has been abandoned, no one has come to clean it up, resulting in weeds growing around the warehouse and the windows are all broken. There is not a single piece of intact glass.

Where there are a lot of weeds, there are a lot of mosquitoes. Now it is March and spring has begun, and mosquitoes are beginning to increase.

The prisoners had to endure mosquito bites and the cold wind in March nights. It was really miserable.

The strict crackdown by the Security Department soon caused the steel mill to be in a state of panic and resentment. Many workers who used to violate the rules were now trembling with fear, fearing that they would be caught by the Security Department.

Some workers were used to the relaxed management of the old director, who said it was better to do less than more. They could not stand such strict management, so they gathered together to complain to the workshop director, hoping to restore the previous relaxed state.

The workshop director knew the policy better than the workers, most of whom had little education. He knew that he couldn't tell the security department about this matter, but he couldn't ignore the workers' opinions, so he had to report it to the higher levels.

Soon, the two factory directors, Yang Guoming and Li Huaide, the secretary, and the chairman of the labor union all noticed the changes in the security department.

But no one can take care of this matter

It is the duty of the Security Department to catch those who violate the rules. Even if they take things too seriously, it is just being unsympathetic.

It is neither personal nor illegal. No matter whether it is the factory director or the secretary, if they criticize or even interfere with the actions of the security department, it is a real violation of the rules and the consequences will be very serious.

Because power is the most difficult thing to share in the world, no official would be willing to have others interfere with his or her responsibilities, not to mention that the steel mill and the security department are originally two units.

If the steel mill interferes with the Security Department's actions and law enforcement today, and the Security Department interferes with the personnel appointments and dismissals of the steel mill tomorrow, it will be a complete mess.

Therefore, there is no obvious solution to this problem. If you want to change this situation, unless the leadership of the steel mill can privately make Director Bai Wanli change his mind, it will be impossible.

At this time, in the Security Department's office

A man in his forties was sitting in the office, begging Fang Wei.

"Chief Fang, please help me. Xiaotian really knows he is wrong. Please be kind and let him go this time. Otherwise, his future will be ruined."

Fang Wei smoked a cigarette and thought: "Wu Manshan, if I help you, my future will be ruined."

Fang Wei still said helplessly: "Director Wu, it's useless for you to tell me this. The Security Department follows the rules. Wu Yongtian was caught beating someone. According to the rules of the Security Department, he must be punished and recorded."

Wu Manshan is the workshop director of the fourth workshop. Wu Yongtian is his son and a third-level fitter in the fourth workshop.

Relying on his father being the workshop director, Wu Yongtian was usually a bit arrogant and bullied his fellow workers. However, other workers chose to swallow their anger because of Wu Manshan, the director.

Today, a worker who had been severely bullied could no longer bear it and started a quarrel with Wu Yongtian. Wu Yongtian also had a bad temper. After a while, the quarrel turned into a shove, and the shove turned into a fight. In the end, the boss used a wrench to open the man's head, and blood was seen.

It happened that the Security Department was cracking down on him, so he was taken to the Security Department and locked up.

The matter has been investigated. According to the rules, it is necessary to record a serious warning, demote the worker, and impose a fine. If the injured person is in a serious condition, it is unclear whether he can keep his job.

Wu Manshan didn't mind the fine, but if his son was punished, his future would be ruined. He planned to let Wu Yongtian be a squad leader for two years to accumulate experience and qualifications. When he retired, he would let Wu Yongtian become the director (the worker system can be passed on to relatives, but in principle the cadre system cannot, but in practice it can be achieved through the exchange of favors and the transfer of benefits)

But if you are punished severely and still become a shit director, it would be good if you can work as a worker until retirement.

"Chief Fang, please help us. We are willing to compensate the injured workers for their losses. Can you please intercede for us? Do you think this will work?"

Wu Manshan thought Fang Wei was not going to release the eagle until he saw the rabbit, so he took a bulging envelope and stuffed it into Fang Wei's hand.

Fang Wei had received a lot of money in previous years. Wu Yongtian had also gotten into trouble a few times before, but it was Wu Manshan who paid Fang Wei to deal with the situation so that the incident did not get out of hand.

But Fang Wei was uncharacteristically serious and said:

"Director Wu, what are you doing? You are making a mistake. Take it back immediately!"

Wu Manshan tried to persuade Fang Wei, but Fang Wei refused to accept the offer. Even when Wu Manshan raised the price by double, Fang Wei was unmoved.

After a few times, Wu Manshan was sure that Fang Wei was not playing hard to get, and he was dissatisfied with the small amount of money and wanted to take more. He finally got angry.

"Chief Fang, are you really so ruthless?"

Fang Wei said calmly: "The Security Department is about rules, not favors. If Director Wu has nothing else to do, please go ahead. I have official business to attend to."

This is clearly a way to drive people away.

Wu Manshan gritted his teeth, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go find other people!"

Seeing Wu Manshan about to leave, Fang Wei said, "Director Wu, for the sake of our past friendship, I remind you not to waste your time. If I, Fang Wei, don't dare to take it back, then no one else will dare to do it either. The security department is different now. You just walked into the trap. Who can you blame?"

"Don't expect to beg our director. You are just a director. If you really want to beg for mercy, you should call Director Yang."

Wu Manshan probably didn't listen to Fang Wei's words. After leaving Fang Wei's office, Wu Manshan immediately went to find Liu Neng.

Liu Neng was not stupid. When he heard what Wu Manshan was asking for, he told him to get out.

Taking money is not a big deal, but Bai Wanli personally ordered the Security Department to crack down on violations. Taking money and releasing people at this time would break the rules and directly slap Bai Wanli in the face.

You, Wu Manshan, are just a workshop director in the district. How can you make me sacrifice my future to offend my own director?

Get out of here!

After being defeated by both section chiefs, the transportation section chief was out with a team escorting a batch of important goods and was not at the steel mill at all. The only person he could ask for help was Bai Wanli.

Wu Manshan wanted to meet Bai Wanli to plead for his son, but when Bai Wanli heard about this, he almost rolled his eyes to the back of his head.

What the hell? A workshop director wants to talk to me face to face.

Who gave you the courage?

Chapter 9: The Iron Fist of the Security Department

The steel rolling mill is a large factory with 10,000 employees and is a department-level unit.

The administrative level of the factory director and the secretary is the full department level, while the deputy factory director and the deputy secretary are the deputy department level.

The rolling mill sets up a production department, which is led by a director and several deputy directors. Each person is in charge of several workshops, and each workshop is managed by a workshop director.

The administrative level of the workshop director varies according to the number of people in the workshop (from nearly a thousand to dozens) and the importance of the workshop. It is usually between the section chief and the section chief.

Wu Manshan, the workshop director, is a deputy section chief.

Although Bai Wanli is only a director, his administrative level is the same as that of the director of the production department, but because he holds both the gun and the law enforcement power, he is an absolute powerful cadre, so his actual status is much higher than his administrative level.

Just like Fang Wei said, to talk to Bai Wanli face to face, either the director or deputy director, or the secretary or deputy secretary

A mere workshop director said he wanted to find Bai Wanli. I don't know who gave him the courage.

Of course, Bai Wanli would not lower his status and talk nonsense with a workshop director. He did not even let Wu Manshan meet him.

Wu Manshan had no choice but to ask for mercy, so he finally went to Director Yang, hoping that Director Yang would come forward to ask the Security Department for mercy.

After considering it, Director Yang also agreed to talk to Bai Wanli.

In addition to protecting his subordinates, Director Yang also wanted to understand the current attitude of the Security Department.

Last year, Li Huaide was promoted to deputy factory director. Now he is eyeing his position as factory director and making trouble for him in every way. Although Director Yang has an old leader as a backer, the power of Li Huaide's father-in-law should not be underestimated.

Therefore, Yang Guoming’s current position as factory director is not particularly stable.

Although the Security Department cannot interfere with the internal operations of the steel mill in name, it is a unit with guns after all, and their vacillation in position can actually have an impact on the steel mill.

Yang Guoming also wanted to use this incident to see the actual attitude of the Security Department.

Bai Wanli was too lazy to care what the people at the steel mill thought. He just followed the rules and he was always right no matter who came.
