Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Liu Sheng smiled and said, "It's just sending two people to the south. What's the danger? If I hadn't been caught by you this time, I would have earned more than 1000 yuan.

With this money, I can stop being a truck driver and take Wang Juan away.

The two of us will find a deserted place to live and live happily ever after."

What is a dog licker? This is it.

Li Weidong knew that continuing to persuade this kind of person would be fruitless.

He took Section Chief Li out of the detention room.

"Chief Li, go investigate Wang Juan's situation right now. Remember, do not alarm her."

Li Weidong knew very well that if Liu Sheng was unwilling to come forward to accuse Wang Juan, then they would not have any evidence against Wang Juan.

Arresting people in this situation would only alert the enemy.

"Brother Weidong, don't worry, I will go investigate now."

After Section Chief Li left, Master Chen also came over and said, "Comrade Weidong, it is obvious that Liu Sheng was deceived. You must save him."

Li Weidong felt very sympathetic towards Master Chen's situation. He taught his apprentice all the driving skills he had learned throughout his life, but the apprentice ended up abandoning his daughter.

"Master Chen, it's not that I didn't save him, but he didn't save himself."

After that, Li Weidong added: "Master Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you."

The meaning of this statement is very clear, which is to tell Master Chen not to do anything unwise because of sympathy for Liu Sheng.

Master Chen nodded, sighed slightly and said, "I have been a truck driver for so many years, traveling all over the country, but I didn't expect that I was wrong and taught such an ungrateful person."

After saying this, Master Chen stamped his feet, turned around and left.

After dealing with these trivial matters, Li Weidong turned and entered the steel rolling mill laboratory.

After a busy period, mass production of color televisions is ready.

Considering this is the first time that the steel mill has produced televisions

Out of caution, the factory leaders decided to start with a small-scale production. If the production goes well, a new workshop will be built next.

But producing televisions is completely different from producing steel. Those workers need training to be competent for the job.

Director Yang looked up at Li Weidong and said, "Comrade Weidong, do you have any good suggestions?"

Li Weidong was well prepared and handed over a document: "Director, after preliminary calculations by our steel mill laboratory, we currently need 300 qualified workers. The requirements for these workers are very high. They must have graduated from junior high school and be young people."

Hearing this, Director Yang felt a little strange: "Weidong, generally speaking, the older you are, the more experience you have and the better your skills are. Why do you only want young people? Isn't this inappropriate?"

After hearing this, Li Weidong realized his negligence.

In this era, workers are able to be the masters of their own business, so it is naturally impossible for the age of 35 to be optimized.

The old workers are highly respected in the factory.

Li Weidong smiled and said, "Director, you misunderstood.

The production of televisions requires the assembly of integrated circuits, and those wires are very small. If you are old and have poor eyesight, you may make assembly errors.

In addition, young people lack technical skills, which is their advantage.

They can be trained, but if they are too old, their operating habits have already been set and there is no way to change them.”

Director Yang had some opinions about Li Weidong, but when he heard this, he was speechless.

"Comrade Weidong, I was overthinking it.

Don't worry, I will ask each workshop to select the best workers to help you complete this work."

Li Weidong had great confidence in Director Yang's ability. He nodded, and without saying anything more, he left Director Yang's office.

As the shift was about to end, a passionate voice rang out from the loudspeaker in the steel mill: "Dear workers, please pay attention. Dear workers, please pay attention. Our steel mill laboratory needs 300 outstanding workers to make televisions.

Applicants must be junior high school graduates, under 25 years old, and have a high level of ideological awareness.

Workers who meet the requirements are welcome to report to the factory office."

The workers in the workshop had just packed up their things and were stunned when they heard the sound.

"Our factory is going to make televisions. This is incredible!"

"The wages of TV workers must be very high. I want to apply for a job there too."

"Just think about it. Haven't you heard? They have to graduate from junior high school. What is your educational level? You only graduated from elementary school."

"Isn't this too unfair? We are all workers. Why can junior high school graduates report for work but we can't?"

Those workers who met the requirements went to the factory office excitedly and reported their names.

At the same time, they also learned about the salary of TV assemblers: 53 yuan per month, and they could also get a 50-jin food quota and 5-jin pork.

If wages and food quotas are secondary, then these five kilograms of pork become crucial.

You know, in that era, due to material shortages, most people could not eat meat once a year.

Now I have 5 kilograms of pork every month, and my life is better than that of the rich landlords in the past.

"Oh, what a pity, I'm not a junior high school student, otherwise I would have signed up too."

"Yes, I heard that our factory will mass-produce televisions in the future, and by then all of these old workers will be able to become leaders."

Liu Haizhong originally had no idea about being a TV assembler. After all, he was a level seven worker and did not even look down upon the salary of more than 50 yuan.

But now that he heard that he could become a leader in the future, he immediately became interested.

Liu Haizhong ran to the factory office and found an acquaintance.

"Old Zhou, we often drink together. This is indeed a good opportunity. Please help your old brother."

Secretary Zhou looked at Liu Haizhong and said with a smile: "Master Liu, it's not that I won't help you, but the requirements this time are very strict. You don't meet the requirements in terms of age or education, so how can I help you?"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was immediately unhappy and pointed at Secretary Zhou's nose and said, "Old Zhou, look at what you said. You know how I treated you over the years. Every time I invited you to drink, wasn't it Lao Fenjiu?

When did I ever treat you to that kind of cheap liquor? " When Liu Haizhong mentioned this matter, he was furious. He and Secretary Zhou were old friends. Liu Haizhong was such a stingy person.
The main reason why he invited Secretary Zhou to drink was that he wanted to curry favor with him, but after so many years, he spent a lot of money and still failed to curry favor with him.

Secretary Zhou also felt wronged: "Liu Haizhong, look at what you said. Over the years, didn't I erase your records every time you were absent from work?"

You know, in this era, although wages will not be deducted for absenteeism, part of the bonus will still be deducted at the end of the month.

In particular, Liu Haizhong often got drunk, and if it weren't for others' help, he wouldn't even get a month's bonus.

"Alright, alright, Lao Zhou, I won't be here to talk to you in a long-winded way. I just want to ask you, can you help me with this matter?"

Secretary Zhou spread his hands and said, "Liu Haizhong, it's not that I won't help you, but this matter is personally handled by Li Weidong. You also know Li Weidong's temper. Not to mention me, even Director Yang shouldn't mess around here."

"Are you scared by a Li Weidong?" Liu Haizhong stomped his feet, but there was nothing he could do but leave angrily.

As soon as he went out, he met Deputy Director Wang.

Deputy Director Wang has been very honest these past two days. Even though he knew that Li Weidong had started planning to produce televisions, he did not dare to object.
Because he knew very well that Li Weidong had already gained the support of the entire factory, and if he jumped out now he would only be punished.

But now that he heard that Li Weidong had such high requirements for recruiting workers, Deputy Director Wang suddenly became interested.

So he hurried to the factory office, wanting to know the specific situation, but met Liu Haizhong.

After seeing Liu Haizhong, Deputy Director Wang's eyes lit up and he pulled Liu Haizhong aside.

"Old Liu, what's the matter? Why are you so angry?"

A while ago, Liu Haizhong was severely punished for joining Deputy Factory Director Wang, and later he had a falling out with Deputy Factory Director Wang.

Now seeing that Deputy Director Wang took the initiative to talk to him, Liu Haizhong wanted to get angry, but after thinking about it carefully, Liu Haizhong quickly put on a smile.

"Deputy Director Wang, why did you come here in person? Just tell us what you need to do. I, Liu Haizhong, don't have any other abilities, but I'm good at getting things done."

Liu Haizhong was also very clear that he was just a worker and had no ability to go against Deputy Director Wang at all. If he could curry favor with Deputy Director Wang again, he might be able to become a leader in the future.

Deputy Director Wang patted Liu Haizhong on the shoulder generously and said, "Liu Haizhong, come to think of it, I really do have something I want to talk to you about. So, let's go have a drink now."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Director. You may not know that I have quit drinking recently." Liu Haizhong waved his hands quickly.

Are you kidding? How could Liu Haizhong quit drinking?

He just doesn't have any money on him right now and is worried about spending it.

You have to know that Deputy Director Wang is the deputy director. He can't drink cheap wine. He needs to at least drink Moutai.

To Liu Haizhong's surprise, when Deputy Director Wang heard this, he smiled and said, "Old Liu, seeing what you said, how can I let you treat me? How about this, let's meet at the tavern, and I'll treat you to some old wine there."

After the current tavern became the most famous tavern in Beijing, the price of old wine has skyrocketed, even exceeding that of Maotai liquor. Liu Haizhong hasn't had any of it for a while.

Hearing this, he no longer cared about so much and nodded immediately: "That's great, that's great!"

Liu Haizhong followed Deputy Factory Director Wang into the tavern. As soon as he entered, he said to the proprietress Xu Huizhen, "Boss Xu, hurry up and bring three pots of old wine, two plates of beef, one plate of donkey meat, and some roasted meat."

You have to know that in these days, the prices of meat and vegetables are very high.

Xu Huizhen was also frightened. She knew that Liu Haizhong didn't have much money at all, so she looked up at Deputy Director Wang.

Even though Deputy Director Wang was not short of money, he was still frightened by Liu Haizhong's actions. However, considering that Liu Haizhong still needed to step in to resolve the matter this time, he could only grit his teeth and nodded and agreed.

"It's 15 yuan in total. This is a state-owned restaurant. You pay first and then the food will be served."

Deputy Director Wang's heart was bleeding. After handing the money to Xu Huizhen, he walked inside with Liu Haizhong.

Not long after, a waiter brought the wine and food.

"Oh, to be honest, I haven't drunk this old wine for a while."

Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to pick up the wine glass and drink it all. After drinking two glasses in a row, he picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and said, "There are many beef restaurants in Beijing, but the beef in the old wine shop tastes the most authentic."

He looked up at Deputy Director Wang and said, "Deputy Director Wang, why aren't you eating? Eat quickly!"

Deputy Director Wang looked at Liu Haizhong, who looked like he was eating a lot, and rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.

If possible, he would like to kick this guy out right now.

There was no other way, Deputy Director Wang could only suppress his anger and took two sips from the wine glass.

After Liu Haizhong had eaten and drunk his fill, Deputy Director Wang asked with a smile, "Liu Haizhong, what were you doing making such a fuss in the factory office this afternoon?"

In fact, Liu Haizhong is not stupid at all. When Deputy Director Wang invited him to dinner, he realized that Deputy Director Wang would definitely use him.

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong pretended to be angry and told the whole story of the steel mill laboratory recruiting TV workers.

"Deputy Director Wang, this is really abominable. You know, we old workers are the main force of the factory. Now Li Weidong has left us old workers aside. He is discriminating against us!"

Deputy Director Wang's eyes lit up, and he nodded and said, "Liu Haizhong, you are absolutely right. Ever since Li Weidong came up with a few good projects, he has become arrogant. Not to mention the workers, he doesn't even take us factory leaders seriously."

After he finished speaking, he sighed deeply and said, "However, Liu Haizhong, you also know that the current situation is rather special, and as a factory leader, I cannot go against Li Weidong.

Otherwise, people will say I am jealous and envious.”

Liu Haizhong frowned: "What should we do? Can we just let Li Weidong go on like that?"

Deputy Director Wang picked up the wine glass and placed it in front of Liu Haizhong: "Liu Haizhong, why are you so stupid?

As a factory leader, I have no way to speak out. You are a worker, and this matter concerns the vital interests of you workers. You can definitely stand up!"

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong finally determined Deputy Director Wang's purpose, but now he pretended to be very embarrassed: "Deputy Director Wang, you know that we have fought with Li Weidong several times before, and we suffered a great loss every time. Now I am afraid."

"What are you afraid of? You are a worker, Li Weidong is the factory leader, what do you have to be afraid of?

Besides, even if something happens in the future, don’t I still have you?

I am absolutely on your side!"

If it were in the past, Liu Haizhong might have believed Deputy Director Wang's lies, but after going through so many things

He knew very well that Deputy Director Wang was not a reliable person at all.

Liu Haizhong picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then smiled and said, "Deputy Director Wang, we have dealt with each other so many times, there is no need to hide it here."
