Siheyuan: Start with a big car

In the evening, when all the factory workers were off work, Director Zhou waited at the gate of the TV factory, pushing his bicycle.

When I saw Secretary Zhang pushing his bicycle out, I hurriedly followed him.

"Officer Zhang, come on, follow me, let's go to the tavern."

Secretary Zhang smiled and said, "It has to be you, Old Chen. You are indeed an old comrade. You are so vigilant."

At this time, Zhang thought that Director Chen was waiting for him outside the factory.

It is to prevent the workers in the factory from seeing
In fact, he didn't know that Director Chen was just preventing Director Zhou from finding out.

This time, Director Chen put a lot of thought into getting the truth out of Officer Zhang.

The tavern he chose was a very famous tavern in Magic City.

After entering the pub, Director Chen ordered two pots of old wine and two plates of beef. You know, in this era, meat dishes are very precious.

Not only money is needed, but also meat tickets.

Although Secretary Zhang is trusted by Deputy Director Zhou, Deputy Director Zhou does not take him seriously. In the past, if there were any benefits in the factory, Secretary Chen would never be considered.

In addition, the situation of the Magic City TV Factory has been bad recently. It has been half a year since it issued meat coupons. Naturally, Secretary Zhang has no way to taste meat.

Secretary Zhang was a petty person, and he was immediately happy to see Director Chen's warm hospitality.

"Oh, Lao Chen, I didn't expect you to understand now. I'll tell you.

You will follow me from now on. As long as you follow me, I promise to let you become a leader in the factory office."

Director Zhang's words sound a bit shameless.
The reason is very simple. In terms of rank, Secretary Zhang's rank is far inferior to Director Chen's.

But he relied on his good relationship with Director Zhou and often took on big responsibilities in the factory.

Director Chen was not surprised by people like Secretary Zhang. He smiled and said a few polite words, then poured him a few glasses of wine.

Secretary Zhang likes to drink, but he can't hold his liquor. After a few drinks, he becomes dizzy.

"Old Chen, if you had been so proactive in the early years, you would have become a factory leader long ago. Why would you still be working as a miserable workshop director now?

Being a workshop director may seem like a leadership role, but it is a lot of work and it is easy to make mistakes. If anything goes wrong in the workshop, it is your responsibility. "

"Oh, Brother Zhang, you are absolutely right.

If I had listened to your teachings earlier, I wouldn't be in such a predicament now."

After complimenting Secretary Zhang, Director Chen pretended to know nothing and asked, "Secretary Zhang, I see that the two factory managers are very busy these days. What are they busy with?"

After hearing this, Zhang, who was already half drunk, became a little alert.

"Old Chen, what do you mean?
Why are you staring at the two factory managers? Are you worried about something?"

It has to be said that Secretary Zhang is indeed a capable person since he can become the factory director's confidant.

Director Chen quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Zhang, judging from what you said, what could I be worried about?

You don't know me yet, but my main goal right now is to actively get closer to the leader, so I have to observe the leader's movements."

"Oh, Lao Chen, I didn't expect you to be so active just after you recovered. This is rare, very rare!"

After hearing what Director Chen said, Officer Zhang completely relaxed his guard.
He smiled and said, "Old Chen, I will only tell you about this, please don't tell anyone else."

"Look at what you said. I, Old Chen, am famous for my strict mouth in our factory. If you don't trust me, who else can you trust?"

Director Chen patted his chest and made a promise. Officer Zhang lowered his voice and said, "You may not know that a leader came from Beijing. His name is Li Weidong. He is the leader of the Beijing Steel Rolling Mill.

He wanted to transfer Chief Engineer Zhang and Chief Engineer Wang to the capital.

Tell me, can the two factory managers agree?

That's definitely not possible, but because Li Weidong has a special status and deep connections in the ministry, the two leaders couldn't refuse directly.

I've been busy thinking about how to deal with him these days."

Hearing this, Director Chen's eyes lit up.

He knew immediately that this was a great opportunity.

However, Director Chen did not panic. Instead, he continued to smile and handed Secretary Zhang a glass of wine.

Secretary Zhang picked up the wine glass and drank it all. At this time, he was drunk and fell on the table.

Director Chen looked at Secretary Zhang and suddenly realized that he had a question to ask. He quickly patted Secretary Zhang on the face.

Fortunately, Officer Zhang was not completely drunk at this time. He looked up at Director Chen dizzily and asked, "Old Chen, what are you doing?

Why did you hit me?

Director Chen smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you seem drunk. I want to take you home. Where do you live?"

Officer Zhang stood up shakily and said, "I'm not drunk. How could I be drunk? I can go back by myself."

"Okay, okay, go back by yourself. Go back by yourself."

Director Chen turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped and pretended to be indifferent and asked, "Since that person is from Beijing, the two leaders cannot directly refuse him, but if we let him wander around in our factory, something might happen."

Director Chen asked this question very openly for a simple reason: he was the workshop director, and Chief Engineers Zhang and Wang happened to be in his workshop.

Hearing his words, Officer Zhang laughed out loud: "Don't worry, Li Weidong is staying at the Red Star Hotel. He doesn't know that Xiao Liu from our factory security department has been keeping an eye on him."

Red Star Hotel... Director Chen remembered the name and rode away on his bicycle.

Today is Li Weidong's fifth day in Shanghai.

During these five days, he had hoped several times that Director Zhou and Director Liu would give up the two chief engineers' positions to him, but the two directors refused to give in.

Li Weidong also knew that the formal channels would not work. In addition, he also found that he seemed to be followed.

However, Li Weidong did not alarm those who were following him, but pretended to know nothing.

He no longer goes to the TV factory. Every day, he carries a canvas bag and wanders around the scenic spots in Shanghai, as if he has given up his mission and comes here just for sightseeing.

In fact, Li Weidong hadn't rested for a long time, and he really wanted to take advantage of this business trip to travel. Of course, there were already tour guides in this era, and the tour guide Li Weidong hired was from a state-owned travel agency, and her name was Zhang Xiaoqian.

Zhang Xiaoqian is a native of Shanghai. She has a good personality and is very enthusiastic.

After learning that Li Weidong came from Beijing, she not only proposed to her leader to reduce Li Weidong's tour guide fee by half, but also borrowed two bicycles for the two of them to travel.

Today, Li Weidong, under the guidance of Zhang Xiaoqian, came to a small hill in the suburbs of Magic City. As soon as he reached the foot of the hill, Zhang Xiaoqian suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Comrade Li Weidong, we seem to be followed."

Hearing this, Li Weidong felt very strange, because Zhang Xiaoqian already knew that someone was secretly following him a few days ago.

Li Weidong had specifically told Zhang Xiaoqian not to tell anyone at the time, and although Zhang Xiaoqian didn't know what was going on, she still agreed. Why did this girl bring up the stalking again today?

Zhang Xiaoqian noticed that Li Weidong looked strange, and quickly explained, "The one following us today is not the security officer from last time, but someone else."

Hearing this, Li Weidong frowned.

He was a little confused. He came to the Magic City just to hire two technical masters, but he offended some powerful person and was sent two groups of people to attack him.

However, Li Weidong was a well-informed person and was not afraid at all. He took the opportunity to turn his head and look back, and immediately realized that the person behind him was not from the Magic City Security Department, because several people from the Magic City Security Department were standing in the distance.

Li Weidong thought for a moment, looked at Zhang Xiaoqian and said, "Comrade Zhang Xiaoqian, I am going to give you a task now. Do you have the courage to complete it?"

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Zhang Xiaoqian straightened her chest and said, "Comrade Li Weidong, look at what you said. Girls in your capital can hold up half the sky, so can't girls in our Magic City hold up half the sky?

I tell you, I, Zhang Xiaoqian, have never been afraid of anyone since I was a child. Just give me any task you have, and I promise to complete it perfectly for you."

"Comrade Zhang Xiaoqian, I really wasn't wrong about you."

After Li Weidong praised Zhang Xiaoqian, he whispered, "Comrade Zhang Xiaoqian, I will go into this temple later, and then you quietly go around to the side and call the old comrade who is following me to the pavilion next to it. The two of us will meet in the pavilion."

Zhang Xiaoqian looked at Li Weidong in surprise when she heard this and said, "Comrade Li Weidong, that person is following you stealthily, and he may have bad intentions. Aren't you afraid that he may harm you?

You may not know that the economy in our Magic City is indeed better, but it is also more chaotic than your Beijing City. Sometimes at night, I, a girl, have to be extra careful when walking on the street."

Li Weidong laughed loudly and said, "Comrade Zhang Xiaoqian, I'll tell you the truth. I have practiced Kung Fu, and the person who can hurt me has not yet been born. Besides, don't you want to know why this person is following me?"

After all, Zhang Xiaoqian was young and very curious, so she quickly nodded and agreed.

"Comrade Li Weidong, don't worry, I will do as you say later."

In order to prevent the security personnel of the Magic City TV Factory from noticing anything, Li Weidong said nothing more. He pretended to know nothing and entered the temple.

When Xiao Liu from the Magic City Security Department saw Li Weidong go in, he quickly led his men to follow him.

But there were a lot of people in the temple, and when he went in, he immediately found that Li Weidong was missing.

At this time, several security officers lost their patience.

"Chief Liu, what should we do now? We've lost the man. Should we report this to Director Liu?"

Hearing this, Xiao Liu was furious. You know, this time he was doing private work, although it was arranged by Director Liu, but he couldn't let other people in the factory know. Now this guy is actually trying to make things bigger, isn't this stupid?

Xiao Liu snorted coldly and said, "Don't you want this month's bonus?
I tell you, if anyone dares to report it, I will punish you. Besides, we have only lost our trace now, but if we look for it later, we may find it, so don’t panic.”

Hearing this, the other security officers all praised Xiao Liu, the security chief, for his resourcefulness.

Several people started searching in the temple.

At this time, Director Chen also entered the temple. He could not see Li Weidong and suddenly became a little panicked.

You know, Director Chen has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. He has been secretly watching the Red Star Hotel these days, while trying to prevent being discovered by the security department.

Just when he was about to connect with Li Weidong, he disappeared.

Just when Director Chen was extremely anxious, someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

Director Chen turned his head and saw that it was a female comrade. He was surprised and said, "Miss, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Xiaoqian lowered her voice, winked at him and said, "Old comrade, are you looking for Li Weidong? Come with me."

I have to say that Director Chen was very vigilant and even became suspicious at this time.

"Who are you? I'm telling you, I don't know any Li Weidong. Are you trying to set me up? Get out of here."

Zhang Xiaoqian thought that as long as she told Director Chen this, her mission would be accomplished, but she didn't expect Director Chen to become suspicious.

She rolled her eyes and lowered her voice and said, "Li Weidong is from Beijing, and he is still being followed by the security department of the steel mill.

If you also want to be targeted by the security department of the steel mill, you can continue to wait here."

After hearing this, Director Chen finally believed Zhang Xiaoqian's words. He nodded to Zhang Xiaoqian and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. But this matter is not about me personally, but the safety of several comrades.

If I'm not careful, I could be in big trouble."

"I understand. But why are you so long-winded, old comrade?
If you waste any more time, the security department will pay attention to this place."

After saying this, Zhang Xiaoqian didn't give Director Chen a chance to react, she turned around and left the temple.

Director Chen hurriedly followed Zhang Xiaoqian, and the two of them walked towards the pavilion next to them.

At this time, Li Weidong was already waiting inside the pavilion.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoqian coming with a strange middle-aged man, he nodded at Zhang Xiaoqian and said, "Comrade Zhang Xiaoqian, thank you very much this time.

Don't worry, I'll treat you to a big meal later."

Zhang Xiaoqian smiled and said, "You're welcome. Actually, I'm very grateful that I can help you.

You two can chat here, and I'll go keep watch for you."

As she spoke, Zhang Xiaoqian turned around and walked quickly to the side. She walked to the intersection, then pretended to appreciate the flowers, looking around vigilantly.

Li Weidong walked up to Director Chen and asked with a stern face, "Comrade, we are strangers to each other. Why are you following me like this? Is there something wrong? I'm telling you, you'd better give me an accurate answer.

If you dare to lie, don't blame me for being rude. Although I am from Beijing and have no roots here, my power is far beyond your imagination."

Li Weidong was not trying to scare Director Chen. In fact, he had not been idle during the past two days. Instead, he contacted people in Shanghai through comrades from ministries and commissions in Beijing.
