Chapter 476 Lin Qiuyue's Worry
Chapter 476 Lin Qiuyue's Worry
After Jia Dongming said goodbye to Ye Tian and the others, he rode his bicycle to the courtyard. Zhang Guoping, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, saw Jia Dongming coming and immediately stepped forward and greeted Jia Dongming enthusiastically: "Director! You are here!"
When Jia Dongming saw Zhang Guoping approaching, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Zhang Guoping. Then he asked Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! Have you divided up most of the things?"
When Zhang Guoping saw the cigarette that Jia Dongming handed over, he immediately reached out to take it, then put the cigarette to his nose and sniffed it. The mellow aroma of tobacco made him intoxicated. He reported in a very respectful tone: "Director! The first and second brigades have already received their New Year's goods. Now only the third brigades are queuing up to receive their New Year's goods."
After hearing Zhang Guoping's report, Jia Dongming thought about what happened to Ye Tian and his team when they encountered the patrol team. He said to Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! When Ye Tian and his team were returning just now, they encountered a patrol team on the way. If they hadn't brought their work permits with them, they would have almost caused an oolong incident. So, the comrades on duty in our department, let them come here tomorrow afternoon to pick them up."
Zhang Guoping nodded immediately after hearing Jia Dongming's introduction and replied, "Director! I understand. I will ask the comrades who will take over the shift tomorrow morning to say hello to the comrades on duty and ask them to come over to pick up the things at noon tomorrow."
Jia Dongming thought of Master Hong who had delivered the message to him, and he did not forget to instruct Zhang Guoping, "Guoping! This time, thanks to Master Hong's message, we were able to see through Chen Weizhong's plot in advance. After everyone has received the New Year's goods and left, you should give Master Hong an extra portion of the New Year's goods."
Zhang Guoping originally thought that Jia Dongming's information came from a leader in the steel mill, but he didn't expect that he got the information from Master Hong. Thinking of Master Hong's son who worked in the Propaganda Department, Zhang Guoping could vaguely guess where Master Hong got the information from, and nodded quickly and replied: "Director! I understand, I will inform Master Hong in advance and ask him to keep an extra portion for himself when distributing the pork."
"Director! You are here."
"Director! Good evening!"
Jia Dongming walked into the courtyard. The security guards who were queuing up to share New Year's goods in the courtyard saw Jia Dongming coming and greeted him enthusiastically.
Seeing his subordinates queuing up to receive New Year's goods, Jia Dongming smiled and asked everyone present: "Comrades! Are you satisfied with the New Year's goods distributed by the department this year?"
"Satisfied! Of course I'm satisfied! Before you, the director, were transferred here, our Security Department was like a stepmother's child. When the steel mill distributed things, they only gave us half. Compared with the New Year's goods you gave us this year, it's not worth mentioning at all." Lin Sheng from the Third Brigade was so happy when he looked at the New Year's goods in his bag that he couldn't tell you how happy he was. In response to Jia Dongming's inquiry, he immediately answered first.
Jia Dongming heard Lin Sheng's words and saw everyone's happy expressions. He smiled and said to everyone, "As long as comrades work hard, our welfare will definitely get better every year. However, the matter of us distributing New Year's goods must not be spread to others, otherwise everyone will not be able to share so many things next year."
"Director! Don't worry, we promise we won't cause you any trouble." A security guard heard Jia Dongming's instructions and immediately patted his chest to assure Jia Dongming.
When Jia Dongming returned home, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. As the gate of the courtyard was closed at this time, Jia Dongming led the old lady of the Zhang family and walked into the yard through the small door of the other courtyard. He smiled and said to Lin Qiuyue who came to open the door: "Qiuyue! Please help me park the bicycle. I will help Aunt Zhang take the things home." When Lin Qiuyue came back from get off work in the evening, she heard the residents in the courtyard talking about the news that the workers of the steel rolling mill went to the security department to cause trouble during the day.
Because of this incident, Lin Qiuyue couldn't eat, and even had no interest in watching TV. She waited for Jia Dongming's return at home with a worried look on her face.
When Lin Qiuyue saw Jia Dongming coming back, she wanted to ask him what happened. However, because the old lady of the Zhang family was there, she could only give up this idea temporarily. She smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Then you can help Aunt Zhang move the things back. I will go pack some clothes for you to change for bathing."
After Jia Dongming helped old lady Zhang move her things back to the backyard, he said hello to her and quickly returned to his home.
As soon as Jia Dongming walked into the main hall, Lin Qiuyue immediately asked him with concern: "Brother Dongming! I heard from people in the courtyard that your security department was distributing New Year's goods today, and the workers in the steel mill were dissatisfied with the large amount of New Year's goods you distributed, so they ran to your security department to cause trouble. Is this news true?"
Jia Dongming was not surprised at all about the questions asked by Lin Qiuyue. After all, most of the residents in this courtyard were workers from the steel rolling mill. Even if he wanted to hide what happened this morning, he couldn't do it easily.
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyu's question and saw Lin Qiuyu's concerned expression, he nodded subconsciously and replied nonchalantly, "Qiuyue! That's true, but these workers who made trouble were just being used by others. Our security department dealt with a few of them, and the others all became obedient."
When Lin Qiuyue heard Jia Dongming say that the workers were being used by others, she immediately realized that someone was targeting Jia Dongming, and hurriedly asked him, "Brother Dongming! Did you offend anyone? Otherwise, how could someone dare to instigate the workers to cause trouble in your security department?"
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyue's question and thought of the real culprit behind the incident, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said to Lin Qiuyue with a smile: "Qiuyue! Someone wants to get their hands on our security department and control it behind the scenes, so they came up with this conspiracy. However, any conspiracy is just a paper tiger in front of absolute strength and is not worth mentioning at all."
When Lin Qiuyue heard Jia Dongming's answer, she learned that someone was targeting him, so she immediately asked him, "Brother Dongming! Who is plotting against you? I asked Huairu, but she said she didn't know either."
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyue's question, he thought of the real culprit behind the incident. In order to avoid Lin Qiuyue's worry, Jia Dongming answered evasively: "The real culprit behind the incident is the captain of the second brigade of our security department. After we dealt with those workers who made trouble, they directly sold this guy out. Now this guy has been eliminated from the security department."
