Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

If Zhao Tehan announced that people wouldn't be allowed to bring things home and that checks would be conducted at the gate, no one would bring these worthless items home.

After all, the welfare and subsidies at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill are top-notch now, so it's not that they can't afford these things.

Xiao Shan was speechless as he looked at the people who were being stopped by Secretary Qian.

Zhao Tehan's actions amounted to executing someone without prior instruction, a major taboo for any leader!

So Xiao Shan asked Ding Qiunan to help push the bicycle while he walked up to Secretary Qian and the security team members.

Looking at Secretary Qian and Section Chief Liu from the security department standing to the side, Xiao Shan slowly said, "Secretary Qian, Section Chief Liu, what you're doing isn't appropriate!"

"These are all workers from our Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, including quite a few government officials. Isn't it a bit excessive to go to such lengths for these worthless odds and ends?"

"Besides, if an inspection is to be carried out, you should notify them in advance. What kind of logic is this, punishing someone without warning?"

Section Chief Liu looked at Xiao Shan with a bitter expression, then glanced at Secretary Qian, silently telling Xiao Shan that he didn't want things to be this way either.

But Secretary Qian was one of Inspector Zhao's men, so he didn't dare disobey.

Secretary Qian smiled and said to Xiao Shan, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, you can't say that! We live in a society that values ​​discipline and the rule of law. Stealing public property like this is utterly shameful and is tantamount to theft!"

"Besides, a small theft can lead to a big loss later. At this stage, it's just taking some worthless scraps, but if we don't stop it, it will be taking our factory's public funds and workers' wages later! That's all the hard-earned money of our country's people!"

The workers who were blocked from the side turned red in the face and their necks bulged when they heard what Secretary Qian said.

"These scraps were supposed to be thrown away as garbage anyway, but taking them back saves the factory the trouble of cleaning them up!"

"That's right! Even if the factory recycled these scraps, they would lose money. What's wrong with us taking them back?"

· ·Requesting flowers··· ···

"These papers were leftovers after we finished using them in the office. One side is still blank. We're just taking them home for the kids to use. What's wrong with that?"

……

Faced with the agitated workers, Secretary Qian still smiled and said, "Even if these things are garbage, they belong to the public! You have the right to use them while you are in the factory, but you have no right to take them out."

"You now have the right to use the factory's machinery, are you going to take it home too?"

Seeing Secretary Qian standing on his moral high ground, pointing fingers and giving orders, Xiao Shan was speechless!

Is this guy really not afraid of being stabbed in the back?

Just then, Secretary Qian smiled and extended his hand to Xiao Shan: "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, you're no exception. Please open your bag and let us check it!"

..... ..... ...

Seeing that Secretary Qian treated everyone equally, Xiao Shan cooperated with him.

Xiao Shan opened his briefcase and placed it in front of Secretary Qian: "Secretary Qian, please take a look! See if there's anything inside that you're not allowed to bring!"

Secretary Qian leaned over to take a look and found that besides two anthologies, a fountain pen issued by the steel mill, a lunchbox, and a thermos, there was nothing else inside.

Pointing to the lunchbox, Secretary Qian smiled and said to Xiao Shan, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, could you please open this lunchbox and take a look?"

Xiao Shan smiled and nodded, then directly covered Secretary Qian's face with his briefcase: "Open it and see for yourself!"

The contents of the briefcase instantly fell to the ground.

The lunchbox fell to the ground, the lid separated from the lunchbox, and there was nothing inside.

Seeing Xiao Shan's actions, the workers who had been stopped immediately began to applaud.

"Good! Well done, Deputy Factory Director Xiao!"

"That's right, that son of a bitch deserves to be taught a lesson!"

"He just parachuted in here, what right does he have to spout these high-sounding principles to us!"

……

Secretary Qian removed the briefcase that Xiao Shan had covered his face, his face turning a deep purplish-red: "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, aren't you going a bit too far?"

"Excessive?" Xiao Shan glared at Secretary Qian. "It's excessive of you to treat all our comrades in the steel rolling mill like thieves!"

Chapter 479, Saving He Yuzhu! (Please subscribe!)

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Secretary Qian hurriedly waved his hands in a panic, saying, "Deputy Factory Director Xiao, that's not true! I've never treated anyone like a thief; I was just protecting the public interest!"

He dared not admit to Xiao Shan's words, otherwise even Zhao Tehan couldn't protect him!

At this moment, Section Chief Liu had already squatted down, picked up the things on the ground, and put them back into Xiao Shan's briefcase.

After tidying up the briefcase, Section Chief Liu handed it to Xiao Shan with an apologetic expression.

Xiao Shan nodded to Section Chief Liu, and then left the steel rolling mill with Ding Qiunan, whose belongings had also been checked.

After leaving the gate, Xiao Shan did not ride his bike back immediately, but stood outside the gate and waited patiently.

"Honey, who are you waiting for?" Ding Qiunan asked curiously as she waited with Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan told Ding Qiunan with a smile that He Yuzhu would definitely be caught red-handed later.

He stayed here to prevent He Yuzhu from clashing with the security personnel in public later.

After all, if a real conflict breaks out, even if He Yuzhu is the canteen director, he will still be in deep trouble!

Just as Xiao Shan had expected, He Yuzhu was caught red-handed by Secretary Qian as he came out of the factory.

Because He Yuzhu actually put almost half a duck in his lunchbox this time, Secretary Qian decided to make him a typical example.

So Secretary Qian said to He Yuzhu, "Comrade, I'm going to write a report about your behavior and post it on the factory bulletin board to warn everyone!"

He Yuzhu was initially a little embarrassed because he had been caught red-handed.

In addition, he knew that this Secretary Qian was someone who had just been parachuted in as an inspector, so he was prepared to give him some face, honestly admit his mistake, and accept criticism and education along with everyone else.

But when he heard that he was to be used as a role model, he was unhappy about it.

He Yuzhu glared angrily at Secretary Qian and said, "Who do you think you are? You're just making a big deal out of nothing! This half duck was left to me by the leaders because they couldn't finish it in the canteen. What's wrong with me taking it back?"

"When I was cooking for the boss, you were still wearing open-crotch pants!"

Seeing He Yuzhu rebuke Secretary Qian without holding back, the workers who had been caught red-handed laughed with great satisfaction.

Faced with the overbearing He Yuzhu, Secretary Qian remained quite calm.

Judging from his expression, he seemed to be hoping that some tough guy would jump out and cause trouble!

“Comrade, even if the leader didn’t finish his food, it’s still public property. You have no right to take it home!” Secretary Qian said slowly to He Yuzhu.

At the same time, Secretary Qian glanced at the other workers present out of the corner of his eye.

In Secretary Qian's opinion, the workers should be outraged that this guy actually brought half a duck back from the kitchen!

In the past, people would have been incredibly tempted by this half duck.

This achieved the desired effect of stirring up public sentiment, as Secretary Qian had anticipated.

However, nowadays steel mills give pork to workers every now and then, so half a duck is not a luxury for everyone.

At this moment, Xiao Shan walked over and said to Secretary Qian, "Secretary Qian, this He Yuzhu is the best chef in our steel rolling mill, and he's also the canteen manager! He cooks for everyone in the small canteen, which is extra work for him, so naturally everyone should give him some extra compensation!"

After hearing Xiao Shan's words, Secretary Qian pushed up his glasses and said, "It seems that some of the cadres in our factory are indeed corrupt!"

"Not only do they not eat and live with the workers, but they even set up a small canteen in the factory! I will report this to Inspector Zhao and try to shut down the canteen as soon as possible!"

Secretary Qian's words were full of righteous indignation.

At the same time, a very smug expression appeared on his face.

In his view, he was doing this to protect the rights of the workers by abolishing the privileges of the leaders, and the workers should be grateful to him.

But he never expected that these workers wouldn't listen to him at all!

Hearing that he was going to shut down the factory's canteen, they immediately started making a scene.

"The small canteen in our factory cafeteria has been around for so many years, why should you shut it down just because you say so?"

"Exactly, you're a newcomer, what makes you think you can cause so much trouble right from the start?"

"Director He only got half a duck. Even if he got a whole duck for setting up a small canteen for the leaders, none of us would say anything!"

……

Secretary Qian had no idea that the workers actually didn't want the factory's small canteen to disappear.

The small canteen at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was not only a place for the factory leaders to entertain important guests and for them to eat, but also a place for the workers to entertain guests when they needed to.

After all, eating at a state-run restaurant outside would cost at least a month's salary.

However, if you are hosting a dinner party in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, you only need to prepare the ingredients yourself.

Then, by secretly giving the chef a dollar or two, you can get a table full of good dishes to entertain guests.

The factory has always turned a blind eye to such things.

Even if you can get the chef on your side, you can bring people to the steel mill's small canteen to treat them to a meal, even on a Sunday.

This is much more cost-effective than eating at a state-run restaurant outside.

Besides, these days everyone has special circumstances where they need to ask for help.

Therefore, when workers encounter such special circumstances, they usually treat each other to meals in the small canteen.

Once the small canteens are shut down, these workers will have no choice but to pay out of their own pockets to eat at state-run restaurants when they need to treat others to meals!

"I'm doing this for your own good, how can you be so ungrateful?" Secretary Qian said, feeling quite aggrieved as he looked at the workers who were making a scene.

"You're the one who doesn't know what's good for you!" Xiao Shan glanced coldly at Secretary Qian, then turned to the security guards who were blocking He Yuzhu and said, "I'm taking him away. You don't have any objections, do you?"

What opinions could the security personnel possibly have?

Although Secretary Qian was a favorite of Inspector Zhao, Xiao Shan was the god of wealth for Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill and even the entire metallurgical system, and was deeply loved by the workers.

The security personnel were able to distinguish which was more important.

"No objection, no objection!" Section Chief Liu from the Security Department quickly replied to Xiao Shan with a smile.

"Hey, I'm still here. What right do you have to take him away?" Secretary Qian immediately reached out to stop him.

But when he saw He Yuzhu raise his fist, Secretary Qian immediately shrank back and took a step back.

"Alright, Brother Zhu, let's go!" Xiao Shan gave He Yuzhu a disgruntled look and led him away from the gate.

They met up with Ding Qiunan, who was waiting outside, and the three of them rode their bicycles towards the No. 95 compound.

Chapter 480, Offending All the Workers! (Please Subscribe!)

On the way home, Xiao Shan said to He Yuzhu, somewhat speechless, "Brother Zhu, how could you, a dignified canteen director, still be greedy for those meager wages from the canteen? Now look what happened, you've been caught red-handed!"

Faced with Xiao Shan's scolding, He Yuzhu didn't dare to talk back at all.

She could only look at Xiao Shan with a wronged expression: "Juan'er is pregnant, and I was thinking of making her some soup to nourish her body!"

"Besides, it's not just me, everyone in the cafeteria does it! And everyone used to turn a blind eye, who knows what crazy thing that new inspector is going to do!"

Seeing He Yuzhu still looking aggrieved, Xiao Shan said speechlessly, "Alright, behave yourself these next few days and stop rummaging through the house! If you really need anything, just tell me and I'll get it for you!"

Xiao Shan has been in the world of courtyard houses for quite some time now, and has been influenced by this world in some ways.

Actually, he didn't feel right about taking advantage of public resources at first.

But over time, he got used to it.

After all, water that is too clear has no fish; sometimes, it's wise for leaders to play dumb.

As long as it's not excessive and doesn't cause significant losses to the factory, we can turn a blind eye.

Besides, apart from the canteen cooks taking some ingredients back with them, the workers only take some worthless scraps and small items, which are not a big deal at all.

Moreover, people don't take these things every day; they only take some back from the factory when they need them at home.

Strictly speaking, this is not a good phenomenon.

However, the current environment is different from that of later generations.

At that time, all industries belonged to the state, and the welfare and benefits of the workers were not as good or comprehensive as they are in later years, which fostered a habit of taking advantage of the state.

If this habit is to be corrected, we should start by improving the basic living conditions of the workers' homes.

Now that conditions at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill have improved, workers are taking advantage of public resources much less often than before.

If someone were to take drastic measures right from the start, like Secretary Qian did, it might backfire.
