Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Yi Zhonghai sounded indignant, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Director Yang's face showed no reaction, he looked calm, as if he was just listening to something very ordinary.

Bang Geng was unwilling to be left behind and continued to complain, following Yi Zhonghai's words: "Director..."

"You don't know how arrogant Wang Dong is in the kitchen."

"Not only did he appoint people based on personal connections, he also recruited the wives of his two apprentices to work in the steel mill kitchen. He even recruited He Yuzhu's godson to work in the kitchen as a kitchen helper."

"If this continues, the steel mill kitchen will soon become Wang Dong's own kitchen."

"You are the head of the steel mill. I guess your words in the kitchen are not as effective as Wang Dong's."

"I estimate that after a while, the more than 100 workers in the kitchen will probably only recognize Director Wang Dong and not you factory leaders."

After hearing Banggeng's words, Yi Zhonghai felt that he had a new respect for him for the first time and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, no leader would allow his subordinates to form small factions or groups, let alone allow workers in the factory to only follow orders from their subordinates and not listen to the arrangements of the factory director.

As expected, Banggeng's words would surely arouse Director Yang's anger, which would in turn intensify Director Yang's dissatisfaction with Wang Dong, and then he would send people to liquidate Wang Dong, investigate Wang Dong, and deal with Wang Dong.

As a result, five seconds passed and Director Yang did not show any anger on his face.

Ten seconds passed, and Director Yang's face remained calm, without any change.

It was as if he didn't hear what Banggeng said just now.

Just when Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but repeat Banggeng's words again, Director Yang finally responded.

He frowned and asked the two of them: "Master Yi...good joke..."

"You said Wang Dong was nepotism in the kitchen and formed a clique. Do you have any concrete evidence?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly replied: "Director, isn't it evidence that Wang Dong let his apprentice be the kitchen team leader? What other evidence do you need? I don't quite understand..."

Director Yang shook his head: "This is just your opinion, it cannot be used as evidence."

"As far as I know, Wang Dong's two apprentices are level eight and level nine chefs respectively. He Yuzhu and the other squad leaders you mentioned are also level nine and level eight chefs. There is even a level seven chef who is fully qualified to be a squad leader."

"In addition, the kitchen team leader is publicly elected by all apprentices and kitchen helpers, and every election is recorded in the kitchen."

"The people you mentioned were indeed chosen by everyone. They cannot be used as direct evidence of Wang Dong's nepotism in the kitchen."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that Wang Dong was so meticulous in his work in the kitchen, without any loopholes, and even Director Yang couldn't catch any evidence against him.

As for whether Director Yang stood on Wang Dong's side and spoke for Wang Dong, Yi Zhonghai had never thought about it.

In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, the conflict between Director Yang and Wang Dong is irreconcilable, and if Director Yang wants to intervene in the kitchen, he must take Wang Dong down, so it is absolutely impossible for Director Yang to stand on Wang Dong's side.

The reason why he said that what he just said could not be used as evidence was probably because he wanted to get one or two real pieces of evidence that could completely bring down Wang Dong.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's face was not embarrassed at all, but rather he looked forward to it, completely forgetting that he was now the target of Director Yang's revenge. He frowned and continued, "Then he used his position as the head of the kitchen to recruit many people who were related to him to work as apprentices in the steel mill. There were several people in the kitchen who got in through his connections. This can be considered as Wang Dong's nepotism, right..."

Under Yi Zhonghai's expectant gaze, Director Yang shook his head again: "Wang Dong was the kitchen director of the steel mill ten years ago, a true section-level cadre."

"According to the factory's rules, cadres like him will have a quota every two years. As for who he gives it to, that's his business.

"Ten years have passed, and Wang Dong has at least five apprenticeship quotas for the steel mill, so what you said still cannot be used as evidence of Wang Dong's nepotism in the kitchen. Is there anything else?"

Yi Zhonghai is not a cadre, so he doesn’t know that being a leader in a steel mill has such hidden benefits. He felt bad after hearing this.

Those two things were the only things he could think of that were related to nepotism, nothing else.

If these two things cannot be used as evidence to report Wang Dong's nepotism, then the charge of Wang Dong's nepotism does not exist.

But he did not give up the idea of ​​bringing down Wang Dong and making him take the blame for him.

He firmly believed that Director Yang also wanted to bring down Wang Dong. If he took action, as long as he could give an excuse, Wang Dong's family would definitely be liquidated.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai spoke again: "Director..."

"Even if Wang Dong didn't use nepotism in the kitchen, he must have embezzled money."

"You don't know that I live in the same courtyard with him. In the past ten years, I can smell Wang Dongjia eating meat almost every meal."

"Ordinary workers in the city can only get half a pound of meat coupons every month. Even if Wang Dong's family has three people working in the steel mill, they can only get one and a half pounds of meat coupons. How can they eat meat every day?"

"If Wang Dong didn't embezzle in the kitchen, where did his family get so much meat?"

"As long as you send someone to investigate the kitchen, you will definitely find evidence of Wang Dong's corruption."

"And they started with the pork that his family eats every day."

"You can't get 10 to 20 kilograms of pork a month through normal channels."

"Even if Wang Dong didn't embezzle pork in the kitchen, the pork his family eats every month is bought through speculation."

"Although the three of them work and earn very high salaries, they have limited money. Apart from speculation and corruption, I can't think of a third way to get so much pork every month."

"But no matter how Wang Dong got the pork, it is illegal for a cadre to do so. I guarantee that you will find the truth once you investigate."

Director Yang actually thought that Yi Zhonghai had evidence that Wang Dong had embezzled money in the kitchen.

At that time, even if Wang Dong was his benefactor and he didn't want to investigate him, as long as Yi Zhonghai produced the evidence, he would still have to investigate, otherwise he would be implicated.

I didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to make such a big fuss to report Wang Dong for corruption in the kitchen. The evidence in his hand turned out to be that Wang Dong ate meat at home every day?
Hearing this, Director Yang almost laughed out loud.

He looked at Yi Zhonghai like an idiot and asked, "Master Yi, besides the fact that Wang Dong eats meat every day at home, do you have any other evidence of Wang Dong embezzling money in the kitchen?"

"The more detailed the better." (End of this chapter)
