A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 996: Stupid Zhu was caught in the act! (Please subscribe!)

In front of the gate of the steel rolling mill, the security department conducted a surprise inspection at the end of the shift. Five scales transferred from the logistics department were placed in front of the gate. All employees leaving the factory were required by the security officer to line up in front of the scales, be weighed in public, and cooperate with the security officer to check their personal belongings before they could leave.

Five scales were weighing at the same time and the inspection speed was not slow, so except for a small number of people who said something strange, most of the workers were very cooperative.

Hua Shier sat in the guard room drinking tea and smoking, leaving Xu Damao, the deputy section chief, to preside over the inspection work outside.

As more and more people were checked, someone was finally found to have a problem.

"Deputy Section Chief, there's something wrong with this guy!"

Next to the third scale, Dengzhao was holding a notebook and greeted Xu Damao.

Standing on the scale was a scoundrel-looking young man in his twenties, with a confused expression on his face, but a hint of nervousness in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

  Xu Damao walked over, first took a look at the weight on the scale, then took the notebook from Dengzhao's hand and looked at it, then said to the worker on the scale with a half-smile:

"Wang Ergou, you weighed 140 kilograms last time. How come you weighed 152 kilograms today?"

Wang Ergou stuck out his neck and said, "It's not okay to get fat these past two days. What's your business?"

  Xu Damao looked him up and down:

"You've gained weight? You gained 12 pounds in just one week? Can you tell us what you ate? Also, your face doesn't look fat, where did all that fat go?"

Wang Ergou's eyes swung wildly, "Xu Damao, don't be so shameless. Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're a deputy section chief. You guys are in charge of the security department, how can you control whether I'm fat or not?"

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Okay, I don't care if you are fat or not, but if you steal steel from the factory, I will take care of it. Hold him down for me."

With just one word from him, Dengzhao and another security officer rushed over and pinned Wang Ergou down, not giving him any chance to struggle.

Xu Damao personally took charge and checked Wang Ergou, and found several palm-sized pieces of steel fixed by belts on his lower back.

He took out a small scale from the side and weighed it, and it was exactly twelve pounds.

"Wang Ergou, how do you explain this?"

Wang Ergou no longer had the arrogant look he had just now, and begged dejectedly:

"Brother Xu, this is my first time, please give me another chance."

Xu Damao had a smug look on his face: "No, I, Xu Damao, am shameless. How can I be qualified to give you a chance!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away and send it to the guard room for inspection first!"

  Wang Ergou was sent to the guard room. Hua Shier had just seen everything clearly through the window. When the other party came in, he even greeted him with a smile:

"Here you go, brother, squat in the corner!"

Wang Ergou wanted to plead with Hua Twelve, but Dengzhao pushed him from behind:

"Hurry up and squat. I'm telling you, everyone in the factory is watching what happened just now. No one can help you now. Don't try to flirt with our section chief. Think about how to explain yourself so that you can get leniency. Do you hear me?"

Wang Ergou was the first one to be caught, but certainly not the last. Many of the employees in the queue looked guilty when they saw Wang Ergou being caught and began to hide behind him, while others turned around and walked into the factory.

But the security department had already arranged people to keep watch, and those who were walking towards the factory were immediately stopped. Xu Damao smiled and greeted them:

"Brothers, you are anxious. Okay, I understand. Everyone has urgent matters at home. I, Xu Damao, am not an unkind person. I have approved it and will give you priority for inspection!"

The guys waved their hands and said they were not in a hurry, they just left something at the factory and had to go back to get it, so they didn't need to be given priority.

Xu Damao smiled and said, "Since we are here, let's weigh ourselves first. Why are you in such a hurry?"

He waved his hand and several people were asked to come back by the security officer, each of them looking extremely unhappy.

Suddenly, a young man pushed the security officer aside and ran towards the factory. He was pounced on and held down by two security officers, who pulled out two pieces of steel from his body.

  Xu Damao smiled and said to the workers in line:

"I believe you all know what we are checking. Some time ago, the factory lost a lot of steel materials, which caused considerable losses to the factory. The factory leaders took it very seriously and asked us to think of a solution. That's why we had today's surprise inspection. We are all brothers and sisters in the same factory. No one can kill anyone with one blow, right?"

"Our section chief said that as long as they come forward and confess, even if it's their first offense, they will be given a lighter punishment. They just need to register with our security department and write a letter of guarantee that they won't do it again. If they don't confess, we'll report them directly to the factory. How they'll be dealt with at that time is their business. They might even be sent to the police station!"

After he said this, those who had something to hide suddenly became uneasy. First of all, those who had been stopped just now knew they could not escape, so they took the initiative to confess. Then, in the long line, dozens of workers came out with embarrassed expressions and took out the hidden steel materials.

These people carried steel materials, most of which were tied to their bodies. The older ones hid them in bags or under the soles of their shoes.

Those who confessed voluntarily were invited into the guard room by Xu Damao, and the rest were further checked.

After a while, something went wrong with the scale that Men San'er was in charge of:

"Deputy Section Chief, there's something going on here!"

The person weighing him was a female employee, about 30 years old, who looked a bit aggressive.

The female employee looked dissatisfied at this time: "Hurry up, what's the problem with me? Are you done? I have things to do when I get home!"

As he said this, he actually got down from the scale and was about to walk out of the factory.

  Men Saner and another security officer tried to stop her, but the female employee just yelled at the top of her lungs:

"It's a joke, the security department is playing tricks."

For a moment, Men San and the other man were at a loss what to do. If it was a grown man, there was no need to think about it, as the man who dared to act like a rogue would have been lying on the ground. But since the other party was a woman, it was not easy for them to do anything.

  Xu Damao walked forward calmly, smiling:

"Pan Xiujuan, what are you doing? There are so many people watching. If you say that our security department is playing tricks, people will believe it. Be honest. If there is nothing wrong, we will let you go!"

Pan Xiujuan glared at him and said, "Xu Damao, what can happen to me? Please get out of the way. I still have to go home to feed my baby!"

Xu Damao ignored her and looked at Men San'er: "San'er, what's going on? Did she hide something in her bag?"

Mensan took the weighing record from last time and said, "There's nothing hidden in this woman's bag, but she weighed more than 20 kilograms more than the last time she weighed herself!"

Xu Damao looked at Pan Xiujuan and said, "Okay, you took quite a lot. Hand it over quickly. I'll count it as your first offense."

Originally, he had good intentions, but Pan Xiujuan didn't appreciate it:

"Who is it? Who is the first offender? You are the new offender. I am fat from eating so much. What's wrong? I didn't take anything from the factory."

Xu Damao's face also turned cold:

"Pan Xiujuan, stop it now. Don't be shameless. When you find out what's going on, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

Pan Xiujuan glared and said, "Alright, come and search. Come and search now. If you dare to touch me, I will teach you a lesson!"

Xu Damao smiled strangely: "Don't worry, just stand there, we won't touch you!" He called out: "San'er, take out the things that the section chief prepared!"

"okay!"

Men Saner went to the security department to get a half-meter-long pole. A two-foot-long thin wire was tied to the pole, and a black object the size of a little finger was wrapped around the thin wire. After Xu Damao took it, he held the pole and swung it up and down, left and right in front of and behind Pan Xiujuan.

Pan Xiujuan was amused: "Xu Damao, are you fishing here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, an unexpected scene appeared. When the black thing approached her legs, it seemed to be attracted to her and stuck to her calves with a snap.

Now everyone present understood that the black thing was a magnet.

Xu Damao laughed: "Pan Xiujuan, do you have anything else to say? The magnet has already attracted you. Take out the steel, or we can go to the factory director's office to reason!"

Seeing that her plan was exposed, Pan Xiujuan had no choice but to lift up the legs of her work trousers, revealing the two pieces of steel tied to her calves.

After handing over the steel, Pan Xiujuan was no longer as arrogant as before: "Chief Xu, I am also a first-time offender."

Xu Damao sneered: "Is this your first offense? Where is the spirit of resistance just now? What did our section chief say? By the way, you should recover. I still like your unruly look."

Pan Xiujuan: “.”

Everyone in the Wei Ke team laughed. This was what Hua Shier had used to criticize Xu Damao, but now Xu Damao was using it on someone else.

Not surprisingly, Pan Xiujuan was also taken into the guard's office.

With these few examples of trouble-making as an example, other employees cooperated with the Security Department and dared not cause trouble again. Those workers who really took steel materials from the factory also honestly handed over their things and went into the guard room to wait for processing.

In the end, there were more than a hundred people, both men and women, and the guard room was full of them.

Hua Shier asked them to squat in a row against the wall outside, gave each of them a pen and paper, and asked them to write a self-criticism and a letter of guarantee one by one, and also asked them to explain how much they had taken in the past and where they had sold the stolen goods.

He warned these people that as long as they confessed honestly, they would be given a lenient sentence and treated as first-time offenders. They would only be criticized in the factory and required to compensate the factory for its losses. If they did not confess, they would be treated as accomplices once those who collected the steel materials were caught.

Hua Shier brought out a chair and sat at the factory gate to supervise these people writing self-criticisms.

The canteen employees are also required to undergo inspection when they leave the factory. When they came to work today, they received an order from He Daqing not to take leftovers home at night. Originally, these people had quite a few complaints, but now they were all sweating coldly. If He Daqing hadn't reminded them, they would have all been squatting in the corner.

  After weighing, He Daqing walked over to Hua Twelve, offered him a cigarette, and whispered:

"Thanks, Twelve!"

  Hua Shier waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing. Seeing that He Daqing was not in a hurry to go home and was smoking with him, he asked a question. He Daqing smiled and said:

"That Shazhu has a stomachache and needs to go to the bathroom. I'll wait for him here for a while and then we'll go back together!"

The two were smoking and chatting here. After finishing a cigarette, they heard a commotion on the weighing machine again. It would have been better if He Daqing hadn't looked. When he looked in the direction of the sound, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The person making the commotion was none other than his son He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu is sometimes clever, but sometimes really stupid. He came over with a lunch box and saw the workers in front of him queuing up to be weighed before leaving the factory, so he asked the people in the queue:

"What's all this for?"

The worker in line was very polite when he saw that it was Mr. He from the cafeteria. He said, "The security department is investigating people who stole steel materials, and they have already found quite a few!"

When He Yuzhu heard that they were investigating the theft of steel materials, he felt relieved. It had nothing to do with him, so he picked up his lunch box and queued up with the others.

  When it was his turn, He Yuzhu stepped onto the scale with a clear conscience and raised an eyebrow at Xu Damao who was walking over:

"This is Xu Damao, if you are promoted to deputy section chief, you will be in the top five or six positions. Hurry up and weigh yourself. Grandpa is in a hurry to go home for dinner!"

Xu Damao glared at him and said, "Silly Zhu, this is a factory, you think it's a courtyard house? I'm telling you, be polite when you speak to me, don't make yourself uncomfortable!"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Okay, there are a lot of people here, I'll save some face for you."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Zhang Xuejun who was weighing him and said, "Is that done? I'm leaving now!"

Zhang Xuejun said calmly: "Wait a minute."

He took out the notebook and pointed at Sha Zhu's last weigh-in data: "You've gained more than two kilograms."

"I'm fat, can't I?"

Sha Zhu slapped his head and said: "Isn't this just holding a lunch box?"

He handed the lunch box to Zhang Xuejun and put it back on the scale: "Is it right now?"

Zhang Xuejun took a look and nodded: "That's right!"

After he finished speaking, his expression looked a little strange.

Not only Zhang Xuejun, almost everyone around except Sha Zhu felt it was strange.

Xu Damao had a complicated expression as he wondered whether he should take this opportunity to deal with this old rival. Yi Zhonghai from the next team also noticed the situation here. Thinking of the indifference of the He father and son towards him during this period, he smiled coldly with a hint of gloating in his eyes.

At this time, a worker suddenly asked loudly: "Master Xiao He, what's in your lunch box? It's more than two kilograms. Open it and let everyone see it!"

No matter how dumb He Yuzhu was, he knew that this could not be opened, and he immediately glared at the man: "Sun thief, what do you care about!"

  The worker was just trying to annoy He Yuzhu because He Yuzhu had shaken his spoon. In fact, he knew that He Yuzhu worked in the cafeteria and was unlikely to steal steel. But when he was scolded by Sha Zhu, he immediately got angry:

"Deputy Section Chief Xu, I think there is steel in Shazhu's lunch box. Let's open it and check it out!"

When he shouted, everyone around him looked over, and after knowing the situation, they also started shouting. Sha Zhu's usual bad popularity came into play at this moment, and many people were shaken by him.

Everyone shouted, Xu Damao looked at Sha Zhu and thought, just do it.

Sha Zhu didn't care about that and rushed over to grab the lunch box, but Zhang Xuejun dodged him.

With so many people watching, Zhang Xuejun didn't dare give him the lunch box.

Xu Damao saw that Sha Zhu had already incurred the wrath of the crowd, and gritted his teeth: "Open it!"

Sha Zhu's eyes turned red: "How dare you!"

Zhang Xuejun opened the lunch box directly and saw half a box of braised pork, half a box of stir-fried pork with green peppers, and a big chicken leg stuffed on top.

The worker who had confronted Sha Zhu before opened his eyes wide and pointed at the lunch box: "Everyone, come and see, Sha Zhu stole the food from the canteen."
