Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 398: Undercurrent (Thanks for the encouragement)
"Did Junjie pick him up? Why didn't he bring him over?"

The man is quite old. Even at home, he is still wearing a straight tunic suit. He is walking around the room impatiently. His hair is slicked back and he is meticulous. His face is very cold and his eyes are full of anger.

The middle-aged woman who had just opened the door and walked in looked a little rich, with short ear-length hair and was very energetic. Seeing the man's stiff mouth, she replied angrily.

"That's your son. You didn't care. He got angry at me and took him back. That old man is really not a thing. He was still on the line with me. He just refused to let him go. He is some other sensible person. I called the following and got back.”

This old man has never been able to deal with him. He thinks that the good police and procuratorate are enough, so he has added himself as a team leader to control him for no reason. However, he is a high-ranking team leader. Although he looks very majestic, he can control him, but underneath But not many people.

"Don't compete with him. He has such a bad temper. Besides, the big gold case has not been solved yet. He is a powder keg that will explode at any moment."

The man didn't care about the woman's attitude. After being together for many years, he was used to her temperament. When he heard that his son had come back, he felt a little relieved, but when he thought about the trouble caused by this ignorant thing this time, he still looked very angry. He said with a steely look.

"Why don't you come to see me when you come back? Look at how you've spoiled him. Making such a big fuss this time really embarrasses me. Where is the man? Let him come and kneel down for me. Make it clear."

The woman was not afraid of the man at all. She raised her head, raised her neck, and shouted with a loud voice.

"If you have the guts, don't attack me and the child. You really take yourself seriously. Look at how many of you are trying to sell your face. Xiaojie is not energetic right now. I asked him to rest. My son has three broken ribs. Wait until he gets up. I'll take him to the hospital for a check-up."

The man felt a little distressed when he heard that three ribs were injured. The little flesh on his face twitched. The woman happened to see it and continued with a look of disdain.

"As a father, you don't feel sorry for your son being beaten like this. He was locked up by the police station and you didn't care about anything. Why are you showing off to me? If you have the ability to catch the murderer and return it to the head of the political and legal team, I Just take yourself seriously and see who pisses on you."

The man was a bit confused by what he was saying. This woman's mouth was as powerful as ever, but the majesty of the head of the family still had to be maintained.

"If he hadn't stolen my gun and military spurs and gone out to cause trouble, who would have caught him. Since ancient times, loving mothers often lose their sons. You are just too spoiled to him. That's why he is so lawless. How many times have I said that the military spurs were the ones I worked so hard for back then? No one is allowed to touch his souvenirs. Look, you have spoiled his courage."

The woman sat down, pointed at the man and cursed, "You heartless old guy, don't worry about yourself, I'll take care of it for you and take care of anything that happens. If you hadn't been so idle and always leaving your gun at home, how could this have happened?" Now that my son has been beaten like this, if you don't care, I will go to the police station to make a fuss. The perpetrator of the beating must be brought to justice. This police station has gone against the grain. The murderer was let go without any trouble, but the victim was imprisoned. Wait, how did you become the team leader?"

Listening to the woman talking more and more outrageously, she completely forgot that her son still had to find someone to fish him out, and the trouble was about to begin. The man was also annoyed and said with a serious face.

"My son is ignorant and can't handle it clearly. You are so old and you can't handle it clearly. You don't even know what time it is. If that golden case is not solved, I will always have a guillotine hanging on my head."

The man pointed to his neck and continued.

"I don't know how to keep a low profile at this time. You even stole my gun and drove my car out to wander around. You want to get me off my horse. I'm here. You mothers can get it, right?"

The man became angry after being scolded, and the veins on his forehead were exposed. The woman saw that the man was really angry, but she still refused to show weakness.

"That's also a matter of the Ministry of Public Security. The old road is in front of us. It's none of your business. Don't think that I don't know and you are just waiting for the old road to come down."

"What are you shouting about? It's nonsense and unreasonable." The man pointed outside. Only then did the woman realize that something was wrong. She stopped holding her neck high and calmed down her momentum.

"What's going on? You and Lao Zhan went on a trip to find out. Tell me."

Seeing that his wife had lost all his arrogance, the man calmed down and his voice softened. The woman then finished speaking, but she didn't dare to add fuel to the fire.

The man walked around with his hands behind his back and did not express his position. The woman waited impatiently and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"You should say something. Xiaojie should be fine. That old guy from Laolu is still clamoring to report it."

The man stopped, put on a cigarette, took out a match, lit it several times, took a long puff, exhaled, and then spoke slowly.

"Xiaojie got into trouble at the wrong time. There will definitely be trouble, but he should be fine, but I am in more trouble."

The woman could see that the man was trying to calm down, and her heart was agitated by the talk. Even though she was yelling a lot, she knew very well in her heart that the reason why the family had reached this point was because of the man. If If a man is affected, the family will definitely not be well off. First of all, the job promotions of the eldest and second girls will be in doubt.

"Tell me, what will happen?"

"Xiaojie probably didn't take the initiative to take action, so this matter has been relieved. Xiaojun is a very irritable kid. Although he took out the military spur, no one was injured. This has to be said."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing this, her son should be fine. This is what men do. If he says so, it should be fine.

"What about you, are you lax in discipline? Will you be criticized by the boss?"

The man glanced at the woman and sighed. This woman has a fierce temper, but she always only sees the surface when thinking about things.

"This is one thing. The biggest trouble is that my gun was taken away by my child. If Laolu really reports it, he might give me a warning and internal criticism. If so, it will be difficult to take the next step."

The man's tone was a little lonely. After so many years of hard work, he finally got to this point. Originally, the golden case was an opportunity, but now it seems difficult. If he carries a circular and criticizes again in the future, there is no hope.

"Oh, it's all my own fault. Forget it, let's not fight. There's no point in fighting over it."

When the woman saw that the man seemed to want to give up progress, she became a little flustered and quickly comforted him.

"Lao Guo, we can't be discouraged. This is human-made. You can't give up progress on your own initiative."

After thinking for a while, he said, "You said that if this matter about my son could be reversed, would there be another chance?"

The man was stunned, and his wife's poor mind could think of why he had ignored it. It was better to treat a dead horse as a live doctor than to wait passively.

"Well, this matter can be summed up. You just said that Xiaojie just started to insist that they stole the car, right? Then let's find the steel rolling mill... and make this matter solid. Let's do this..."...

In the office of the steel rolling mill, Lao Yang was still a little excited, "Secretary, it's not that I have a bad temper, or that I still hate him. It's just that his request is too outrageous. The police station has checked. We sold this car, and he still has it." He wanted us to prove that this car was stolen. What was he thinking? How did such a person get into the team? "

The secretary handed over a cigarette and the two of them lit it opposite each other. "Lao Yang, I heard about this matter. It involves Xiao Zhu. You are right to insist. You cannot speak against your conscience, so ignore him."

"I can't understand how this person has such a big brain. Last time he asked to lead the research on ductile iron, but if he does it this time, that would be perjury. Is this still one of our cadres?"

Secretary Chen opened his mouth, but did not speak. This Team Leader Guo was indeed too outrageous to comment on, so he could only take a deep breath and listen to Lao Yang complaining.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Instead of wasting time, we might as well go see Old Xia. You've got Professor Xu, the one he's been dreaming of, for him. The car project should be getting some results, right?"

Lao Yang put out his cigarette and made a suggestion to the secretary. Xiao Zhu submitted an engine drawing in the second half of last year. After it was transferred to Director Lu Chao, there was no movement. Lao Yang asked several times, but Director Lu said the drawing was not good. It's too perfect and is leading people to carry out technical research.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhu smiled and did not argue, but it seemed that he had never been to the research team over the engine again.

"Lao Yang, I understand how you feel now, but this car project does not have to make progress as soon as someone comes to work. Lao Xia admires Professor Xu very much. He must have real ability. Don't worry, give me Give me some time, besides, this production capacity needs to be allocated again. Without production capacity, there is no point in making it. Have you forgotten Xiao Zhu’s suggestion at that time?”

"My vehicle factory has been erected, and there is no big guy to support it. It doesn't live up to its name. Isn't this just a hurry to get angry? You are talking about this Director Lu Chaolu, this Xiao Zhu's design..."

"Here we go again, Xiao Zhu didn't say anything. Why are you so anxious? Why don't I accompany you to the motorcycle workshop to have a look? Director Zhang made a good choice. These days, good news is coming out frequently in this workshop. I heard that even though we lost several days in February, the production volume has increased.”

Director Yang stopped insisting. The secretary put out his cigarette, turned around, took a notepad, and opened the door.

"If you don't say anything, I'll just assume you have no problem with it, and then let's go."

"Leader, this is the production situation last month, and this is the production schedule for this month. We plan to ensure the supply of 4,500 units to Xiangjiang and complete the production of 500 units of Red Star motorcycles."

"Lao Yang, Secretary, what do you think? The current production capacity is still acceptable. We have not only ensured foreign exchange earnings from exports, but also met domestic demand to a certain extent."

Lao Xia was also very satisfied. After several months of adjustment and running-in, he finally saw the initial results.

"According to our arrangement, when the second batch of imitation equipment is put into use, it is expected that by the middle of the year, the production capacity will reach the peak of the existing personnel and equipment, and the supply to Xiangjiang will reach 5,000 vehicles, and the domestic supply will also reach 800 vehicles. This I couldn’t even think about numbers before.”

The two leaders were also very satisfied, "Lao Xia, in terms of production management, you are better than the two of us."

Secretary Chen smiled and gave a thumbs up. This move of merging was really the right move. Now the internal and external pressure is reduced.

"Secretary, the difficulty now is the outsourcing factories. They are under great pressure now. We continue to improve our capabilities. Several factories have reported that if they continue to improve, they will not be able to supply, especially the Seventh Machinery Department. Now our automatic ignition motorcycles account for The ratio is getting smaller and smaller.”

There is nothing we can do about it. The motor supply cannot keep up. Now Shencheng has also obtained the drawings and started supplying to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They are also facing the same problem. It is difficult to find a suitable motor factory. They also plan to participate in the Autumn Canton Fair in the second half of the year. , start the pace of earning foreign exchange.

"Lao Xia, you have to figure this out on your own. The vehicle factory will be left to you. We won't care about the big or small matters. Haha, didn't Director Lu go to the Seventh Machinery Department for you? Is there any good news?"

Secretary Chen was very happy. He was right to pull Lao Xia into the chariot. Now the two of them are really relaxed.

"By the way, the first time I made an electric machine I went to the Seventh Machinery Department through the old method. Don't tell me that you have no way in the Seventh Machinery Department. You have to do this work yourself."

Factory Director Yang also remembered it and made up his mind. It was the then Road Section Chief who chose the Seventh Machinery Department to make motors.

Several people visited the whole morning together. The whole factory was in full swing and the workers were in high spirits. Last year, the factory earned a lot of foreign exchange, and other products were also extremely popular. Even the most inconspicuous heating products made excellent profits. The holiday benefits are really great, much more than in previous years.

Deputy Factory Director Li took action again. Years ago, each employee was given a few kilograms of beef and mutton. This was the first time in history. This was of course more motivation.

"Lao Xia, has Xiao Zhu come to your place during this time?"

Factory Director Yang couldn't help but ask, this little guy is not in the capital this year during the Chinese New Year. He said he went out of town. At that time, Master Liu drove to deliver the condolences. He only showed up once after the New Year and nodded.

"He didn't come, but he asked my daughter to bring a message, saying that he wouldn't come over if nothing happened. If anything happened, just call him. I don't know what he was busy with."

"Shanghai will also hold the Canton Fair in the second half of the year, which will bring certain competitive pressure to our foreign exchange earnings. Lao Xia, do you have any plans?"

"We all outsource our export sales to Xiangjiang. I don't have much idea. It's up to the capitalists in Xiangjiang to worry about it. However, I am planning to discuss with the two leaders about several cars that Xiao Zhu successfully experimented with in the second half of last year. Can it be put into production?”

Last year, we obtained some aluminum alloy indicators and tested several motorcycles with aluminum alloy engines. The results were very good. Now they are kept as technical reserves of the steel rolling mill. This matter is kept confidential. Not many people know about it, even the technical department has not seen it. As for the drawings, the drawings are now in a confidential stage, and only two leaders have a copy.

The plan at that time was to launch it in time this year and next, depending on the market share, with the aim of seizing the market with Fuso Motorcycles.

"We also plan to put this matter on the schedule this year. Although the aluminum alloy indicators are not large, it is a waste if not used."

"What about this drawing then?"

Lao Xia looked at Lao Yang and laughed. This little guy didn't even give him the drawings. He was so bullying.

"If the meeting passes, it will be forwarded to you. This time, it will be put into production directly without going to the research institute. Xiao Zhu's experiment has been successful and has proven that the design is completely feasible."
