Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 140 Unbelievable!
At around eight o'clock in the evening, several middle-aged people walked into a conference room in a compound on the right road of Kyoto Prefecture.

A middle-aged man in military uniform walked into the meeting room with a teacup in his hand, and said to everyone in the meeting room, "Since everyone is here, let's start the meeting!"

When everyone in the conference room heard the middle-aged man's words, the originally noisy conference room immediately fell into silence. The middle-aged man looked at the people in the conference room and said to one of the middle-aged people: "Lei. Just now! Tell me about your investigation results."

The middle-aged man named Lei Gang, upon hearing the middle-aged man's order, immediately stood up from his seat, saluted everyone present, and introduced: "Wu Aiguo! Male, 23 years old, 20th Army The 58th Division, deputy company commander of the 172nd Regiment's Special Operations Company! He has won personal first-class merit once, second-class merit four times, and third-class merit seven times."

"During a battle in the north half a year ago, Wu Aiguo was unfortunately hit by enemy shells in order to save his comrades in arms."

"Later, doctors at the war zone hospital saved Wu Aiguo's life from death after a day and night of rescue operations. A month and a half ago, he transferred from the army and was assigned to the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative as the deputy chief of the purchasing department."

"Wu Aiguo has returned to work in the local area. In less than a month, he first provided an enemy agent clue to the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau, which allowed the Chaoyang Public Security Bureau to successfully destroy an enemy agent den and capture seven enemy agents."

"On Monday this week, on his way to Baoding on a business trip, enemy agents premeditated sabotage, causing the convoy transporting important supplies from the steel rolling mill to camp in the wild. Because Wu Aiguo is a son of the steel rolling mill, he also followed the steel rolling mill. The factory’s convoy camped together.”

"At around three o'clock in the morning the next day, a group of enemy agents tried to take advantage of the opportunity of the security personnel to fall asleep to attack the convoy of the steel rolling mill. They were discovered by Wu Aiguo and attacked the enemy agents. During this period, Wu Aiguo Successfully killed three enemy agents."

"Good! He is worthy of being a member of our 20th Army. Even when he returned to the place, he always kept the mission of the military in mind, and even destroyed and killed so many enemy agents twice in a row." A middle-aged man in the conference room said After hearing the situation introduced by Lei Gang, I couldn't help but applaud Wu Aiguo for taking the case.

The middle-aged man at the head heard the applause from his colleagues and reminded him: "Old Song! Lei Gang hasn't finished reporting the specific situation, why are you so anxious to applaud him? Can you let Lei Gang finish reporting? , based on Wu Aiguo’s investigation results, and then express your personal thoughts.”

When Lao Song heard the reminder from the middle-aged man at the head, an unhappy expression immediately appeared on his face, and he retorted with some dissatisfaction: "Old Lin! A man who has made many meritorious deeds on the battlefield has not been back for a month, but he has continued... What problems will there be in a combat hero who has attacked enemy agents twice?”

"Vice-President Song! Leader Lin didn't say there was something wrong with Wu Aiguo, but some of the things that happened to Wu Aiguo were really unbelievable." Lei Gang heard Lao Song's rebuttal and thought of the investigation results in his hands. He couldn't help but reminded Lao Song.

Lao Song has a violent temper. Faced with Lei Gang's reminder, Lao Song asked Lei Gang dissatisfiedly: "Lei Gang! Then tell me, what's wrong with Wu Aiguo? If you can't tell me today If you are ugly and ugly, then you must give our 20th Army an explanation."

Of course, Lei Gang knew all about Lao Song's character. Faced with Lao Song's threat, Lei Gang could only bite the bullet and continued to introduce: "Dear leaders! Director Yang of the steel rolling mill, in order to thank Wu Aiguo, Assist the security personnel of the steel rolling mill to repel the attack of enemy agents. Today, we will hold a banquet in the canteen of the steel rolling mill and treat Wu Aiguo to a meal."

"When Wu Aiguo and Director Jiang from the Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative arrived at the steel rolling mill, they unexpectedly saw several Japanese people standing in front of the waste slag used in the steel rolling mill. They curiously asked Captain Huang of the steel rolling mill to learn about the situation."

"When Wu Aiguo learned about the purpose of these Dongying people, he immediately went to Director Yang and told Director Yang that the slag must not be sold, and that the slag contained a very important metal. Director Yang learned of this. Report the situation to the leaders of the industrial sector as soon as possible.”

"When the Dongying people requested to purchase the waste slag, the big leader had already realized that the waste slag was not simple, so he arranged for metallurgical experts to test the slag, but no valuable metal content was found."

"After hearing Factory Director Yang's report, the senior leader immediately met with Wu Aiguo, and finally learned from Wu Aiguo that the precious metals contained in the slag are called rare earths by Westerners, and are also called industrial gold. This metal material is widely used in military products."

"For example, tanks, aircraft, missiles and various high-tech weapons such as electronics, lasers, nuclear industry, superconductors, etc. are all inseparable from raw materials such as rare earths."

"After the big leader waited for Wu Aiguo to leave his office, he sent people to contact those Japanese people as soon as possible. Finally, from the Japanese people, he confirmed everything Wu Aiguo said in disguise."

"Those Dongying people are relying on our ignorance of the existence of rare earths, and want to cheat rare earth resources from our country at the price of buying waste."

"None of our country's metallurgical experts have been able to find out the value of discarded slag. On the contrary, Wu Aiguo, a layman, knows the value of discarded slag clearly. What do those experts do for a living?" A middle-aged man said. After hearing the situation introduced by Lei Gang, he was dissatisfied and scolded the metallurgical experts.

When Lao Lin heard the middle-aged man's complaint, he immediately answered: "Did everyone hear what Deputy Zhang just said? Our metallurgical experts have not discovered the value of those slags. How does a layman like Wu Aiguo know this? What’s the value of the slag? Isn’t that worth investigating?”

When Lei Gang saw the leaders present, they all nodded thoughtfully in agreement, and then reported: "Dear leaders, after we launched an investigation into Wu Aiguo, we found that Wu Aiguo has helped food factories several times since he started working. Steel rolling mills, machine repair shops, coal yards, including Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, purchase various unplanned materials.”

"Based on the information we visited, we found Wu Aiguo's comrades-in-arms who had changed jobs, but we didn't find that his comrades provided any unplanned supplies to Wu Aiguo."

"How can this bastard kid speculate and fail?" After hearing what Lei Gang reported, Lao Song immediately showed an expression of hatred on his face and complained dissatisfied.

Lei Gang heard Lao Song's complaint, thought of their investigation results, and said with some embarrassment: "Vice Song! According to our investigation results, Wu Aiguo did not speculate. The materials he purchased for those factories were priced higher than the market price. It’s much lower, but we haven’t found out the source of these supplies.”
