The huge square was crowded with people, and the employees lined up neatly and squatted in front of the podium.
"Sailing the Sea Depends on the Helmsman" was played on the radio, and the workers sang loudly along with the music.
Although it is rare to hold an emergency meeting early in the morning, everyone has been familiar with this scene over the years, and the workers did not realize that this time was any different from the past.
In an empty workshop not far from the square, Li Xinmin was making final mobilization efforts for his cronies.
"As long as you wait for my signal, you will start making trouble immediately! It's time to set fires, throw firecrackers, and beat people..." Li Xinmin said fiercely, "You remember this! If you don't fight this,
, I am unlucky, and you all have to be unlucky too! If I am not unlucky, and some of you don't listen to me this time, I guarantee that you will be unlucky too! But as long as we get through this together, in the future, the steel rolling mill will still be the one we talk about together.
Forget it, do you remember it?"
"Remember!" the cronies shouted in unison.
Their expressions were solemn, some showed determination, some had twinkling eyes, and some were filled with fear.
"There will be someone to cooperate with you when the time comes. You see clearly, the ones who strike first are our own people, don't make a mistake!" Li Xinmin warned, and then said, "Da Mao, you lead the picket team, the people in the study class are troublesome
, when the time comes, you are responsible for flushing them out as soon as possible!"
"Yes, I remember." Xu Damao nodded seriously.
"What should we do in the security department?" Someone asked, "Director, Qian Jin has always been at odds with us..."
"Don't worry, I arranged for them to go to Jiuxianqiao Parts Factory for joint training. They won't be able to come back!" Li Xinmin sneered.
"That's good, that's good..."
Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, remember what you should do, let's break up! Let me give you a final warning, it's best not to let the chain slip, otherwise no matter whether you succeed or fail, I will settle the accounts later. Then don't blame me for being ruthless..." Li Xinmin's eyes were fierce and sinister.
road.
"Don't worry, Director Li."
"We will absolutely obey your arrangements."
"If anyone dares to violate the rules, I will destroy Ya Ting first without you saying anything!"
All close friends expressed their opinions one after another.
Li Xinmin looked around and saw that everyone's morale was good, so he nodded with relief and waved his hand to let everyone disperse.
Soon the secretary came again with a short-haired young man.
"Director." The young man's attitude towards Li Xinmin was very respectful.
"Where is your sister?" Li Xinmin frowned.
"Many people know my sister, and she said she was too conspicuous." The young man said, "Don't worry, director, I have a hundred and ten people here. If you just say a word, we will fight wherever you point."
Li Xinmin leaned over and stared into his eyes and said, "I'm going to see blood today!"
"I have this guy with me." The young man said calmly, "Director, please tell me his name."
"Li Dengfeng, do you know him?" Li Xinmin asked.
"I know." The young man nodded.
Li Xinmin patted him on the shoulder: "You did this yourself, I can't trust others. Remember, don't let anyone see that you did it during the chaos."
"Don't worry, director, I'm familiar with this job." The young man bared his teeth and smiled.
Li Xinmin smiled.
Li Dengfeng is Su Yi's enemy. If this person sees blood and gets into trouble or even dies in today's chaos, and with some guidance from him, Su Yi will definitely be in big trouble!
He patted the man in front of him on the shoulder and said: "Xiaoyong, after this time, I will definitely arrange for you to join the security department and give you a section chief to do it for you!"
"Director, then I will rely on you." You Xiaoyong looked excited.
"Work hard, I won't treat you badly." Li Xinmin encouraged You Xiaoyong and let You Xiaoyong leave.
He reviewed all his arrangements and took a deep breath.
Su Yi has grown up step by step under his witness. He will never underestimate this subordinate whom he was once very optimistic about, admired and relied on. That's why he went all out.
His purpose was not to have a serious confrontation with Su Yi, but to promote peace through struggle. He hoped that Su Yi could see his determination and negotiate peacefully with him.
Of course, he hopes that all his arrangements will not be used.
He looked in the direction of the factory gate with a solemn expression.
Su Yuanchao, Su Yuanchao, I hope we don’t really come to the point of falling out...
A motorcade drove slowly towards the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and stopped at the entrance.
It's not that they didn't leave, but there was a car parked at the gate of the steel rolling mill. There was a man standing in front of the car. When he saw the convoy coming to a stop, he stepped towards the lead car.
In the first car, Su Yi sat in the back row.
Also sitting in the passenger seat of the car was another member of the investigation team.
The man recognized the man walking over, his face changed slightly, he turned his head and lowered his voice and said: "Team leader, deputy team leader, this person is Minister Hu's current secretary..."
Before Su Yi could say anything, the young man next to him snorted: "You're too arrogant. You just blocked the investigation team's car. Team leader, what do you say?"
"Yesterday I couldn't be found on the phone. Today they just blocked the door." Su Yi smiled, "This is nothing more than a biological son, right?"
The young man looked ugly and said: "Hu is the leader in charge. What if he forcibly prevents us from entering the factory?"
"You're overthinking." Su Yi smiled, "Even if Li Xinmin is really his biological son, he should just let go of someone like him, and he will never feel bad. Don't worry, the most important thing for him to come to me is to check his feelings.
.When did this happen? It’s a storm and everyone is looking after themselves. We are an investigation team. If he stops us, we have to consider the impact and consequences. You sit in the car and don’t move. I’ll go take a look."
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Xiao Gong asked.
"What are you doing? Give me courage?" Su Yi said with a smile.
Without waiting for an answer, he opened the door and got out of the car, just as Hu's secretary arrived.
"Yuan Korea, we meet again." The secretary looked at Su Yi with a complicated and emotional expression.
Su Yi smiled slightly and said, "The leader is in the car?"
The secretary nodded and said, "The leader passed by here while inspecting the water plant. I wanted to go into the plant to have a look, but I happened to bump into you."
"Then let me go and ask him how he is." Su Yi said with a smile, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and I don't know how his health is."
As he spoke, Su Yi walked forward.
"I'm in good health, but I've been suffering from insomnia recently," the secretary said. "There are too many things to worry about. You also know the leader. He is soft-hearted and doesn't want to see his own people suffer."
This is the connotation of Li Xinmin’s dilemma.
"Yes, I understand this very well." Su Yi said with emotion, "In March 1970, I will never forget the concern of my leaders."
The secretary's eyes flashed and he stopped talking. What Su Yi was talking about was the matter of Su Yi being suspended for the second time. The decision to deal with Su Yi was made by Hu.
At that time, Su Yi was still one of Hu's own. If you want to say that you don't want to see your own people suffer, what does that mean?
When they arrived at the car, Su Yi said hello outside the car, then got into the car with a smile and sat next to Hu.
He greeted him for a while, and the leader chatted with him in a friendly manner, as if the two of them had just met by chance.
Su Yi's sharp ears suddenly heard the phone ringing from the communication room. He frowned slightly, suddenly interrupted the greetings, and said to Hu with a slight apology: "Boss, I'm sorry, I have to interrupt a little to deal with something."
Hu didn't hear the phone ringing and frowned slightly, but quickly smiled and said, "Are you urgent?"
"Kind of, it's okay, I won't get out of the car, I'll just stay in the car." Su Yi rolled down the window with a smile, stretched out his hand and waved.
In the motorcade on the other side, everyone was paying attention to the situation here. Seeing Su Yi waving his hand, Xiao Gong opened the door and got out of the car without saying a word, and rushed towards this side. A heroic figure also got out of the second car behind him.
The sassy policewoman is none other than Shen Yanzi.
These people can be regarded as Su Yi's "old partners". This time Su Yi led an investigation team to the steel rolling mill and named them generals in front of the big leaders, which can be regarded as adding experience and credit to them.
When he arrived, he first saluted Hu, then respectfully saluted Su Yi, and said loudly: "Team leader, please give instructions!"
"Control the communication room." Su Yi ordered, "Watch for any hidden whistles."
"Yes!" Xiao Gong's eyes flashed, he nodded, and after saluting Su Yi and Hu again, he immediately walked away and waved to the back. Shen Yanzi saw this and rushed over immediately.
Su Yi turned around and smiled apologetically at Hu: "Boss, you are just kidding me. This is what front-line work is like. You have to make adjustments at any time according to the situation. Many situations are not static, so you have to make decisive adjustments immediately."
Hu's eyes flashed with a hint of haze, and he said with a smile: "You are very capable. Xinmin was very optimistic about you back then. Later I got you from Xinmin. At that time, I was very interested in the work that was given to you.
Don’t worry. In fact, I always compare you with Xinmin. In the past, Xinmin was actually more stable than you. He was slightly better than you in focusing on the overall situation."
Su Yi said with a smile: "Compared with the New Democratic Director, I am indeed lacking. But these years of running around have also tempered my leadership. It was only after I stepped out of the leadership that I discovered that in many things, I see more than the New Democratic Director.
thorough."
Hu Weiwei was silent and turned to look at the factory gate: "Xinmin has been in this factory for more than ten years, and he knows every plant and tree here."
"So it's really a pity." Su Yi sighed, "I also feel sad for him. Leader, you can rest assured that I will consider the issue of the new democratic leadership again and again. Every step will be steady and practical. I will never
I failed to live up to the organization’s expectations and trust placed in me.”
Hu Danmo looked at Su Yi and said slowly: "This attitude is right. Aid Korea. I am very confident that you will stick to your principles. But people are not cold machines and cannot lack human touch."
"Boss, you are absolutely right. You really cannot lack human touch." Su Yi nodded in approval, "The problem of the new democratic leadership is not small. For now, I can handle the case with zero confession..."
Hu's childlike voice shrank suddenly.
Su Yi looked at Hu Cheng and said: "But even so, I will handle this matter strictly in accordance with the formal procedures. Leader, I think this matter will be resolved within two days."
Hu looked deeply at Su Yi: "Xinmin is always very careful in doing things. Two days... is it possible?"
Su Yi nodded affirmatively: "Leader, this is no problem. I assure you with my human touch."
Hu let out a long sigh: "To aid Korea, is there really no room for maneuver?"
Su Yi said: "Just like you killed Ma Su with tears back then, leader, you should be able to understand my current mood."
Hu nodded: "Thank you, aid Korea."
"You're welcome. I will remember your kindness in promoting me with your wise eyes." Su Yi said softly.
Hu patted the back of Su Yi's hand, forced a smile and said: "I know you are busy, so I won't disturb you."
"Then I'll go first, leader. I wish you good health and safety."
Hu's eyes became softer, he nodded and said, "Then I'll lend you some good advice."
Su Yi got out of the car, stood beside the car and waved, watching Hu's car drive away, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Two days", this word is the key information Su Yi revealed in order to repay Hu's kindness back then.
The time left for Hu was only two days, because Su Yi was confident that Li Xinmin would be convicted within two days at most.
At that time, no one could predict what Li Xinmin would say or do in despair.
Of course Hu came here to see if he could keep Li Xinmin, but the most important thing was for himself.
At the same time, in the communication room, Xiao Gong and Shen Yanzi restrained the young man who had just called. One of them pretended to be a red face and the other a white face. The young man soon broke down and confessed.
"Director Li asked me to watch here. If the investigation team's car enters the factory, call him immediately!"
"What did you say on the phone just now?" Xiao Gong shouted sharply.
"I told him that your car was stopped. Su Yuanchao got into the leader's car and talked inside..." The young man said in a trembling voice, "This is all what Director Li asked me to do. I really don't know anything."
I do not know……"
"Do you know it's not you who has the final say!" Xiao Gong glared and said, "Did Li Xinmin tell you anything? Tell the truth!"
"Yes, yes, Director Li asked me to report the situation at any time..."
Jingle Bell……
Just as I was talking, the phone call came.
Xiao Gong and Shen Yanzi looked at each other and immediately had a tacit understanding.
Shen Yanzi quickly said to the young man: "Adjust your emotions. Your opportunity has come to redeem yourself and make meritorious service. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you!"
"But if you dare not cooperate, you will be jailed for a long time!" Xiao Gong shouted.
"Answer the phone. I'll say what you say later. Don't say a single wrong word. Try to be as natural as possible!" Shen Yanzi said quickly.
The young man nodded like he was pounding garlic.
"Take a deep breath to adjust!" Xiao Gong ordered.
The young man hurriedly followed the instructions.
Shen Yanzi answered the phone, raised the receiver into the air, and at the same time walked around to the other side of the young man, close to his ear.
Li Xinmin's voice came from the receiver: "What's going on? It took you so long to answer the phone?"
Shen Yanzi quickly gave instructions in the young man's ear.
The young man did not dare to play tricks and cooperated: "I went to observe the convoy just now, and it was a bit far away from the phone."
"How is the situation? Is there any movement?" Li Xinmin asked.
"Not yet." At Shen Yanzi's signal, the young man could only say honestly.
"Not yet..." Li Xinmin's tone on the other end of the phone was a little confused, "Are you still talking?"
"Yes, director." the young man said.
"Okay, observe closely...forget it, I won't hang up the phone anymore. You can tell me what's going on over there at any time!" Li Xinmin said.
