Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"Don't worry, Director. I'm the best at this kind of thing!"

Section Chief Xiong agreed without hesitation.

In Section Chief Xiong's opinion, he has worked in the factory for many years and is familiar with all aspects of the factory.

Both the leaders in the factory and the leaders in the workshop are in contact with him.

As long as he shows up, those leaders will definitely give him face.

Besides, it is very easy to investigate someone in the name of Director Hu.

After Section Chief Xiong returned to his office, he immediately picked up the phone and called the TV factory's security department: "Is this the security department? Where is your deputy section chief?"

"Our deputy section chief has been arrested, don't you know?"

After hearing the response from the other side, Section Chief Xiong remembered that the head and deputy head of the security department had both been dealt with by Li Weidong.

He said with a straight face, "I am Chief Xiong from the Logistics Department! Who is in charge of your Security Department now?"

The person who answered the phone in the Security Department recognized the voice of Section Chief Xiong and felt nervous.

After all, Section Chief Xiong is an important section chief of the Planning Section of the Logistics Department, and he holds the power over the distribution of materials.

If the Security Department offends Chief Xiong, it might not even be able to apply for funding.

"It's Section Chief Xiong, you misunderstood.

Now our security department is at a standstill.

You may not know that since the deputy section chief was also arrested, the factory security team has taken over all security work in the factory, and the work of our security department has been suspended."

Hearing this, Section Chief Xiong's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He originally planned to use the power of the Security Department to investigate Director Chen, but he didn't expect that the Security Department would no longer be involved.

"This Li Weidong is really thoughtful!" Chief Xiong was furious, but he had to admit that Li Weidong's methods were clever.

You know, as long as the Security Department is still under the control of the original team, many things in the TV factory will be difficult to say.

However, Section Chief Xiong was not anxious about this.

Although the Security Department is unable to take action, its people are still employees of the factory and can still be used.

Thinking of this, Chief Xiong called the Security Department again, and this time he specifically asked Liu Zheng from the Security Department to answer the call.

Liu Zheng is an officer of the Security Department. After joining the company, he worked diligently and was highly valued by the former deputy section chief. He now serves as the team leader.

Liu Zheng picked up the phone and was very excited to find out that it was Section Chief Xiong on the other end. "Section Chief Xiong, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Are you kidding? Section Chief Xiong was a senior section chief in the Logistics Department, and he is now just a junior section chief in the Security Department.

Section Chief Xiong smiled and said, "Liu Zheng, what are you saying? Can't I come to you if there's nothing wrong? We are relatives!
When you joined the security department, your father asked me to take care of you. I have taken good care of you over the years. How come you have forgotten everything?"

Chief Xiong's words are somewhat exaggerated.

Liu Zheng is indeed a distant relative of Section Chief Xiong, but after joining the Security Department, Section Chief Xiong has hardly ever helped him.

However, Liu Zheng couldn't directly refuse Section Chief Xiong.

"Chief Xiong, if you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

"Look, you misunderstood me again! I called you today because I wanted to invite you for a drink tonight. Isn't there a pub next to our TV factory? Let's meet at the pub after get off work."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Zheng frowned and scratched his head.

He really couldn't understand why Section Chief Xiong suddenly invited him to drink.

But since Section Chief Xiong had brought it up, it was difficult for him to refuse, after all, they were relatives.

In that era, family relationships were very close. If I refused and my father heard about it, he would not be able to explain himself.

On the other side, Li Weidong went to the relevant department with Director Chen's information.

The leader who received him warmly invited him into the office and said, "Comrade Weidong, I know everything that happened in the TV factory.

This time, it's all thanks to you.

If it weren't for you, our TV factory might have been in trouble."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do."

Li Weidong smiled modestly and handed over the information. "A few days ago, my superiors asked for my opinion on the selection of the factory director. I think this comrade is quite suitable."

The leader didn't pay much attention to it at first. In his opinion, the new factory director would most likely be selected from among the two deputy factory directors.

But when he saw Director Chen’s name on the document, he was stunned: “Old Chen?

This comrade is indeed good. He has performed outstandingly in the past two years and made a great contribution in handling Director Liu's matter this time.

But his rank is too low, isn't it inappropriate?"

After hearing this, Li Weidong calmly explained: "Leader, the situation of the TV factory is very serious now. If we don't take drastic measures to rectify it, the factory may collapse in a short time.

In this case, is it inappropriate for us to still be concerned about Director Chen's rank?"

Li Weidong's words carried a lot of weight. It seemed like he was explaining, but in fact he was hinting to the leadership that the relevant departments also had some responsibility for the TV factory's current situation.

Li Weidong did not mean to put the blame on them.

But that's the situation.

Over the years, employees of the Shanghai TV Factory have reported the situation many times, but each time there has been no response.

One of the reasons is that Director Liu made some adjustments.

But it also has something to do with the negligence of these people.

The leader heard the hidden meaning and smiled awkwardly: "Commissioner Li, your worry is not unreasonable. Let me discuss this matter with other leaders.

Don't worry, we will definitely come up with a solution as soon as possible to solve the current difficulties of the TV factory."

Li Weidong was not surprised by this, as everything he did was for the TV factory.

As long as the leaders discuss it, they will most likely agree.

"Leader, I am very optimistic about Director Chen. As long as he becomes the factory director, I believe that under his leadership, the Magic City TV Factory will be able to stand up again."

"Patriotic comrade, your superiors sending you here is a great thing for the TV factory."

Afterwards, Li Weidong chatted with his leader for a few more words and then left.

At this time, it was almost time to get off work.

Because the factory has been a bit chaotic recently, the workers are still busy in the workshop in order to speed up production.

However, both the Logistics Department and the Security Department had gone off work.

Section Chief Xiong got off work early and was waiting at the door of the pub.

Seeing Liu Zheng riding his bicycle slowly towards him, he immediately went to greet him with a smile: "Nephew, you're finally here! Come on, come on, hurry in, I've ordered the food and drinks."

Liu Zheng was somewhat flattered to see Chief Xiong being so enthusiastic.

Although Section Chief Xiong is a relative, he has relied on his position as the leader of the Logistics Department and has never taken Liu Zheng seriously.

Especially when Liu Zheng was a child, his family was poor, and Section Chief Xiong would not visit Liu Zheng's home during the Spring Festival. In that era, such behavior was very hurtful to people's self-esteem.

Liu Zheng smiled awkwardly and followed Chief Xiong into the pub. Although this pub was located in a remote area, it was indeed one of the best state-owned pubs in the Magic City.

The price is also very expensive.

On weekdays, Liu Zheng also likes to drink, but he never leaves this pub.

This time, Section Chief Xiong spent a lot of money and ordered two meat dishes and two pots of old wine.

One plate of meat dishes was beef, and the other plate was pig ears. In later generations, these might not be considered a big deal, but in this era of material scarcity, they were already the best side dishes for drinking.

There is no need to mention the old wine, a pot costs at least five yuan, which is comparable to the price of Maotai liquor.

Section Chief Xiong personally asked Liu Zheng to sit down and said with a smile: "Liu Zheng, we are relatives, and we should take care of each other in the factory.

But you also know that my position is not well-known. If people knew that we were close, we would inevitably be talked about, which would not be good for both of us. So I haven't been in touch with you much in these years. I hope you don't mind. "

Chief Xiong's words were just an attempt to shirk responsibility, but Liu Zheng was simple-minded and believed them: "Chief Xiong, what are you talking about!

We are relatives, this is an unchangeable fact, why should I care? "

"Oh, Liu Zheng, I didn't expect you to think this way. I'm so touched! If you have any problems in the factory in the future, just tell me.

As the section chief, I manage a lot of people and am familiar with the leaders of all departments. As long as you ask, I will definitely help you get it done. "

As he spoke, Section Chief Xiong picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng was very happy when he heard this.

However, he was not clear about Chief Xiong's intention, so he could only take the wine glass and drink one glass after another.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere became lively. Chief Xiong saw this and said, "Liu Zheng, I'm here to ask you for a favor."

Liu Zheng had a good alcohol tolerance and did not get drunk after drinking a few glasses of wine.

Hearing what Section Chief Xiong said, he immediately became alert: "Section Chief Xiong, what you said is wrong. If it is a work matter, you are the section chief, just arrange it directly.

If it's a private matter, I will definitely help you even if you don't have to buy me a drink."

The meaning is very clear. If it's work-related, don't look for him.

But Chief Xiong pretended not to hear what he said. He drank a glass of wine and pretended to be worried: "Liu Zheng, this time it is really a work matter, but it is different from what you think. I am not doing this for myself, but for our TV factory!"

Liu Zheng frowned: "Chief Xiong, just tell me what's going on!"

Section Chief Xiong sighed, "You may have heard recently that Director Chen from the workshop is going to be the director of our factory. I fully support Commissioner Li's decision.

But I heard that Director Chen is not a good person. Over the years, he has relied on his position as workshop director to sell things out of the workshop.

If we let him become the factory director, what future does our factory have?
So, I am not asking for your help for my own personal benefit, but for the sake of all the employees in the factory!"

Liu Zheng had not had much contact with Director Chen, but he had heard of Director Chen's character: "Chief Xiong, is that true? Director Chen is a very decent person.

I heard that there was an accident in the workshop that year and a worker was injured. Director Chen took the initiative to donate money for the worker's medical treatment!"

Liu Zheng's meaning was very clear. He was unwilling to get involved in this matter, and even more unwilling to help Section Chief Xiong do such a thing.

But Chief Xiong would never give up just like that.

He didn't speak immediately, but stood up, poured Liu Zheng a glass of wine and handed it to him.

"Liu Zheng, come on, drink some wine first."

Liu Zheng didn't know what he was up to. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Only then did Section Chief Xiong continue to say:

"It's because you're young that you were deceived by him. He did all that for show!

In fact, he has made a lot of money stealing things from the workshop over the years, so why would he care about that little money? "

Liu Zheng still didn't believe it and frowned again: "Chief Xiong, if Director Chen really did such a thing, you should tell Commissioner Li directly. Commissioner Li will definitely not tolerate him."

Section Chief Xiong continued, "I haven't finished yet! He was able to become the factory director this time thanks to Li Weidong. I suspect that they have been hooking up for a long time, so I asked you for help."

Liu Zheng knew Li Weidong quite well, especially since this time Li Weidong took down two section chiefs of the security department and won praise from the security officers.

Under such circumstances, Liu Zheng was not willing to offend the workers in the factory and the security officers of the security department for Li Weidong.

"Chief Xiong, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this matter.

I would also like to advise you that Commissioner Li is not the person you think he is.

If you have any misunderstandings about Commissioner Li, you'd better reconsider it."

Liu Zheng's words were well-intentioned, but Section Chief Xiong's face suddenly changed: "Liu Zheng, what do you mean?
We are relatives! If I overthrow Director Chen and let Director Hu become the director, I will definitely be promoted. Then I will promote you to the head of the security department, and you can save decades of detours. Such a good thing, you don't want it?"

Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Chief Xiong, thank you for thinking highly of me. But I don't have any big ambitions, and I don't want to be a section chief."

As he said that, he stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I have something else to do today, so I'll leave first." After that, Liu Zheng no longer paid attention to Section Chief Xiong and left the pub.

Section Chief Xiong looked at Liu Zheng's back, gritting his teeth in anger, but he could do nothing about it.

He was in the Logistics Department and had no control over the Security Department. Moreover, he was counting on the people in the Security Department to help him deal with Director Chen.

"Liu Zheng, you think this matter can be let go? I tell you, it's not that easy!"

Elder Xiong Ke is a shrewd man and will never give up.

He knew Liu Zheng's weaknesses very well.

Liu Zheng didn't know this.

The next day, he went to work in the factory as usual.

The Security Department didn't have much work to do because it was replaced by the factory protection team.

Liu Zheng stayed in the security department for the whole day.

After get off work, I go home as usual.

Before I even reached the door of my house, I heard a voice coming from inside the house: "Brother Xiong, why are you here? Oh, you are so polite. Just come if you want to. Why bring a gift? I really feel bad.

Look, how can I be so embarrassed! "

"Brother, I'm so sorry. We haven't had much contact over the years, but I'm actually worried about you.

I just found out you were sick a while ago, and I've been busy with work and haven't had time to visit you.

I finally found some time today, so I came here right away."

"Look at what you said, brother. Everyone knows that you are the chief of the logistics department, and you have a heavy responsibility. You are also the most capable person among our relatives. I am satisfied that you can think of me."

Why is Chief Xiong here?

Hearing the conversation between his father and Section Chief Xiong in the room, Liu Zheng's heart sank and he quickly walked into the room.

Sure enough, Section Chief Xiong was sitting on a chair, and his father was pouring tea beside him.

Liu Zheng was not stupid, so he naturally understood the purpose of Chief Xiong coming to his house.

His face darkened: "Chief Xiong, what are you doing in my house? I'm telling you, you're not welcome here, please leave!"
