Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

Jiang Fan and his team first discussed the more important aspects, such as whether the competition items should be decided by workers through voting or through comprehensive consultation;

Whether a professional medical team can be hired to handle emergencies during the competition;

Some questions such as whether the leaders' competition should be held before or after the official competition, and what events should be held (running is recommended) were reported to Chief Wang of the Propaganda Section.

Afterwards, Jiang Fan and his team busily dealt with other issues.

That was in August when a group of strange people suddenly appeared in the steel mill, pointing and talking in the open space of the factory.

Secretary Meng and his colleagues did not expect that they would receive feedback on the problem this morning just after the meeting yesterday afternoon.

However, this time there was no meeting of the entire leadership team, only a few people participated.

"Now that we've reviewed the issues, please share your opinions. After this discussion, I intend to report this matter directly to the higher authorities and try to secure some resources.

It would be great if we could invite a reporter from the newspaper to report on our steel mill's first employee sports meeting."

In fact, whether it was Secretary Meng, Yang Aiguo or Li Huaide, they had already reported this matter to their superiors last night.

We have received high recognition and support from the leaders above, so at today's meeting, all the leaders of the steel rolling mill were surprisingly united.

Especially when they heard Secretary Meng say that he wanted to invite the newspaper, the eyes of several leaders turned red.

No one doubted whether Secretary Meng could accomplish this task. Even if he couldn't, others would help him.

“I think we should let the comrades decide by voting, but we can’t just vote randomly.

In addition to a few certain projects, we expanded the scope of other projects and let comrades choose three to five from them.

If there is a strong demand but it is outside our scope, we can consider it as appropriate."

At this moment, Yang Aiguo demonstrated his superb wisdom and immediately gave a very reasonable opinion.

Even Li Huaide nodded and didn't come out to cause trouble. If he were to come up with the idea, it would be just like this.

However, he would not lag behind Yang Aiguo and took the initiative to suggest that a medical team from the hospital could be dispatched to stand by at the scene.

Others also knew that Li Huaide had someone above him, and they did not doubt that he had this ability.

After some discussion, most of the reported issues were properly addressed.

Secretary Meng checked each question and nodded with satisfaction. "There's another issue, and that's the selection of contestants. Our factory has over 6,700 male comrades and over 3,000 female comrades."

The question is whether to let the comrades sign up themselves or to nominate a few people to participate.

The others looked at each other and no one spoke up. This was not the era decades later when some high schools held sports meets and had to forcibly assign events.

Holding such a sports meeting at this time will greatly stimulate the emotions of the workers.

For a public, if you can win a ranking, it is an honor.

Personally, there are material rewards for winning a place.

Therefore, if there are no restrictions, it is very likely that thousands of people will sign up to participate, which will greatly increase the workload and seriously affect the progress of the entire Games.

There may even be some physical conflicts due to conflicts between workers.

The leaders present did not want to see this happen. The purpose of their sports meeting was to promote progress, and if bloodshed occurred outside of the sports events, there would be accountability.

"How about this? We can specify the number of participants in each workshop, or simply limit the number of participants in each event to keep the total number of participants within a reasonable range."

"No, the number of people in each workshop is different, especially between workshops and departments. If we designate them, what standards should we use? Will it arouse suspicion of shady dealings?"

Furthermore, if the number of participants is limited, it might also affect the enthusiasm of the comrades."

Both sides have their reasons, and this is indeed a difficult issue.

"Then let the comrades nominate a few to represent their workshops in the competition?"

"It's hard to say. If I don't get a good ranking after being nominated, I might be blamed when I return."

Everyone present is smart, how could they not think of this?

Just when everyone was feeling rather embarrassed, the union president Su, who had been silent the entire time, spoke up, "First, determine the competition items, and then inform each workshop. For each item, each workshop can send two people, each department can send one person, and they can also abstain.

The specific candidates should be decided by the comrades themselves. If there are many people, they can submit applications and hold competitions in advance. This is my opinion, what do you think?

After a moment of silence, Li Huaide raised his hand first, "I agree."

"Agree."

"Agree."

……

Seeing that the last issue had been resolved, Secretary Meng was about to adjourn the meeting. "Okay, let's do this. Section Chief Wang, please convey our opinions later. If you have any follow-up questions, please come to us in time."

Section Chief Wang immediately responded, "Okay, Secretary Meng, I will definitely keep a close eye on this project."

"I will formally report our activities right now. Once they are approved from above, we will implement them as soon as possible."

Secretary Meng's meaning is very clear. There is basically no problem on his side. It is best to put into practice what you just said and not let them down.

Jiang Fan was relieved after learning the outcome of the meeting. The most difficult issue had been resolved, and the rest could be handed over to the Propaganda Department.

They can't be so incapable of even doing such a small thing, otherwise they would just resign.

After Yang Aiguo returned to the office, he called his boss. The boss in the plot was quite satisfied with Yang Aiguo's actions this time.

"Aiguo, this is your chance. Li Huaide won't cause any trouble for you, and the same goes for you. Just handle this matter well. It will be a good thing for both of you, understand?"

Yang Aiguo immediately replied, "Yes, old leader, I know all this. I will cooperate with Li Huaide this time."

"Well, you're good in everything about being patriotic, but you're a bit too stubborn. If you can change that, you'll be able to accomplish anything. And that nephew of yours... never mind, I won't say much about your family affairs."

"Old leader, I'm sorry to bother you." Yang Aiguo had a bitter smile on his face. This was not the first time the old leader mentioned Yang Liming.

I had warned him before to transfer Yang Liming away from him and put him in an unimportant position to let him settle down.

He will be transferred to another position when he gets promoted. No one will say anything about this.

But he couldn't bear to do so.

Chapter 452 Jiang Daniu is angry

At this time, Yang Liming was lying in Xiao Taohong's arms and resting.

Since he accepted his illness, he has changed a lot.

First of all, he had to squat when going to the toilet, and squat for more than ten minutes. Then there was a change in his mentality. Gradually, he felt that the thing seemed a bit redundant.

I want to cut it off, but of course this thought is not very strong yet. It will take more time to build up the courage.

"Limin, do you think it's okay that you haven't been working properly for such a long time? Your uncle won't fire you from the factory because of this, right?"

Liu Ruyan asked with some concern. She had been staying by Yang Liming's side without hesitation ever since he got into trouble.

Yang Liming was very grateful to her and turned this gratitude into dependence. If he didn't know that he had a home to return to, Yang Liming would have wanted to stay with Liu Ruyan every day.

But Liu Ruyan didn't want to. She wasn't just a prostitute. She approached Yang Limin for a purpose, and she wanted to get information out of him.

If Yang Liming had never gone to work at the steel mill, her sacrifice would have been meaningless.

"No, don't worry."

Yang Limin's tone was indifferent but with unparalleled determination. "Besides, I'm not completely ignorant of what's going on at the factory. It seems like there's been some major event at the steel mill recently."

Liu Ruyan's eyes lit up and she asked in confusion, "What large-scale event?"

"It seems like they are preparing to hold some kind of sports meeting? I really don't know what kind of sports a bunch of people swinging hammers know." Yang Liming said disdainfully.

"Do you know exactly when it will be held? I want to join in the fun."

"It's probably still too early. This matter was just brought up in the past two days and has not been planned yet." Yang Liming spoke frankly. Now he had no reservations about Liu Ruyan.

After saying that, he frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction, "Why are you joining in the fun? It's so hot, don't let yourself get tanned."

"Oh, it's time for me to get some sunshine. If I keep staying in this room, mushrooms will grow on my body." Liu Ruyan said in a soft voice, and Yang Liming's heart melted when he heard it.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the steel mill these next couple of days to see when they can finalize it. Then I'll take you there. To put it bluntly, this steel mill is like home. Going in is like going home."

This experience did not make Yang Liming reflect on himself. Instead, he became even more determined and regarded the steel mill as his own private property.

Liu Ruyan always believed what Yang Limin said. Because Yang Limin was really like a dog in her hands, but this dog didn't know his identity yet.

After dealing with Yang Liming and coaxing him away, Liu Ruyan sent out the signal for contact as agreed.

At night, Li Tian and Wu Tiande entered Liu Ruyan's room one after another.

"Ruyan, is there any news this time?" Li Tian went straight to the point without any verbosity.

"Godfather, that Yang Limin revealed some news today. He said the steel mill is planning to hold a sports meet. From what he said, it seems to be quite large."

"Hmph, you're holding a sports meet right after we came out of a year of famine. You're really bored." Wu Tiande snorted coldly, looking down on this behavior.

Li Tian asked for some details, but Liu Ruyan didn't know much about the matter, only that there was such a plan.

"Ruyan, you're still hanging Yang Limin like before. I'll report this matter. Maybe this is our chance."

Liu Ruyan nodded, she also knew this.

……

Jiang Fan did not go home with his family today due to work reasons. He returned home a little late, but he never expected that as soon as he got home, he would be pressed into a chair by his family.

"Dad, big brother, what are you doing? Don't forget, your little treasury is still with me."

Looking at his father and brother who were controlling him, and the other people standing beside him with mysterious faces, Jiang Fan revealed the biggest secrets of the two without hesitation.

The two men's faces changed, and they moved their heads slightly to look to the side. They were relieved when they saw that their wives had no reaction.

Although they have enough money every month, as a man, how can he not have a small treasury of his own?

So the two married people decided to put all their money with Jiang Fan.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Fan sold them out directly.

"Don't talk nonsense, kid. Where did your brother and I get our little treasury?"

"That's right, Lao Er, you should be honest. You can't slander us."

"Hey! Wasn't it the time when you came to me a few months after your marriage and begged me to put your hidden money there?

At that time I said I didn't want to do it, but you insisted that I do it, and even said that since we were brothers I would help you hide the money! You have forgotten all this."

Jiang Fan was very angry. The first time in his life he was backstabbed was by his old father and elder brother. Who could accept this?

"Okay, I'll let you two ask the second brother what happened at the steel mill. You insist on scaring him." Shen Yue's words were extremely effective, and the two of them immediately let go of their hands.

Jiang Fan, however, showed no shame at all. He ran straight to Shen Yue, forced out two tears, and said pitifully, "Mom, look at what these two guys did to me. My arm is almost purple. You have to give me justice."

Jiang Fan's shameless behavior made it difficult for everyone present to remain calm. Chen Qian turned her head away and dared not look at him anymore, for she was afraid that she would burst out laughing.

Jiang Daniu, Jiang Ping'an and Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Fan with contempt.

Jiang Yu even mocked him, "Second brother, you don't have any dignity left, do you? You're already in your twenties and about to get married, yet you're still acting like a spoiled brat and complaining to Mom. Do you think you're Peng Peng, a three-year-old kid?"

Jiang Fan didn't care about it at all and blurted out, "So what?" which made Jiang Yu so anxious that he jumped up and down!

As for Shen Yue, she was very happy to see this scene. Now at home, Jiang Fan could still find her to act coquettishly and seek justice. If a few decades passed, who else could Jiang Fan turn to?

Besides, we can’t let Jiang Fan fight with his father and brother.

"Second brother, get up too. You're such a grown-up, but you really don't look like a good person." After tidying up Jiang Fan's clothes, Shen Yue asked him what he had been busy with at the steel mill these past two days without telling his family.

Jiang Fan then told them about his proposal to hold a sports meet.

"So you've been busy with this sports meet these past two days?" Jiang Daniu asked puzzledly.

"correct."

"You really don't know what's important! You're getting married soon, but instead of preparing for the wedding, you're busy with sports and other trivial things. How can that be as important as your marriage?"

Jiang Daniu was really angry this time. Although he was an open-minded parent, he could still be very careful.

It doesn’t matter if Jiang Fan gets into trouble normally. Young people always have some ideas, and he can understand them.

But this time it’s different. Nothing can be more important than getting married.
