Chapter 720: Subsequent Reaction 1

There was a gentle knock on the office door. Lin Yu continued writing furiously while saying, "Come in."

Sun Yong and Guan Dajiang walked into the office one after the other. Guan Dajiang smiled and said, "Secretary, all the seafood has been put into the warehouse, and the seized weapons, equipment and ammunition have also been counted and put into the warehouse. But what about the bodies of the enemy agents?"

Lin Yu put down his pen and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was almost midnight, so he smiled and said, "The bodies of the enemy agents will be taken away by comrades from relevant departments tomorrow morning. It's getting late. Go home and have a rest. We can deal with anything tomorrow."

Another new day has begun. Two days have passed since the trip to Tianjin. Yesterday at noon, the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill began to supply sea fish. Cooking oil was also in short supply during this period, so both hairtail and yellow croaker in the staff canteen had to be steamed. Even so, the majority of cadres and employees flocked to it. If Li Huaide had not asked each canteen to post a notice in advance, limiting the purchase of two servings of sea fish per person, I'm afraid that quite a number of employees would not have been able to taste the fish.

Actually, these cadres and workers had no choice. After all, meat had been in short supply for such a long time. They could still taste a little meat occasionally every month in the factory, but the elderly and children at home had not eaten meat for a long time. Although in the minds of these cadres and workers, sea fish could not be compared with fat meat, it was still a little meat, and the price of sea fish in the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was also quite cheap. Each serving of sea fish only required a dime ticket. If it were not limited in supply, many cadres and workers planned to buy ten or eight servings at a time to improve the meals for the elderly and children at home.

Even though each person is limited to purchasing two portions of sea fish, many workers only tasted the fish themselves and put the rest into lunch boxes to take home after get off work in the evening.

It has to be admitted that Li Huaide is definitely a master in winning people's hearts. According to the stories of the logistics staff who followed the convoy to Jinmen to catch sea fish, the news that the convoy was ambushed by enemy agents on its return journey quickly spread in the Red Star Steel Mill. In particular, Deputy Director Li Huaide personally killed two enemy agents. This heroic feat was widely circulated among the cadres and workers. For a time, Deputy Director Li Huaide's reputation among the cadres and workers of the steel mill was greatly enhanced.

Li Huaide also took the opportunity to post notices in various canteens, asking them to try to supply sea fish twice a week in the future, but each person is still limited to two portions.

Therefore, every cadre and employee who came to the cafeteria to eat was very excited, and most of them privately praised Deputy Director Li Huaide for being a good leader who served the workers.

One can imagine the mood of Secretary Chang Changzheng and Factory Director Liu Changhe. This Li Huaide was spending the steel mill's money to buy people's hearts. However, in this situation, both Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe could only hold their noses and praise Li Huaide at the meeting. In this situation, if they dared to say anything inappropriate, the workers would probably abuse them rudely or even attack them.

You must know that the status of workers as big brothers in this era is absolutely unquestionable. A formal worker not only has a fixed salary and housing stipulated by the state every month, but also various subsidies. The unit will reimburse the workers for hospitalization due to illness, and even their family members’ hospitalization will enjoy partial reimbursement benefits. What is especially important is that as long as the workers have not made major mistakes, the unit cannot fire them at will, and if the unit wants to fire a formal worker, it must obtain approval from the higher-level competent department.

In today's extremely tight meat supply situation, Deputy Director Li Huaide was able to travel to Tianjin to bring back a large number of sea fish, and he also signed a long-term supply contract with the Tianjin Gutang Fishery Company, thus ensuring that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will have a stable meat supply channel in the next two to three years.

In particular, after the cadres and workers of the steel rolling mill tasted the sea fish supplied in the canteen, they found that it did not have the fishy smell they had expected, but was very delicious. Obviously, the sea fish that the family occasionally bought from the supply and marketing cooperative in the past had deteriorated to some extent due to transportation and storage, and the family did not have so many seasonings, let alone cooking skills, so the taste of the sea fish was hard to describe.

Although the cooking skills of the chefs in the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill cannot be compared with those of the chefs in restaurants outside, they can still cook a few simple sea fish dishes. Therefore, after tasting the dishes, most of the cadres and employees praised them highly. Nowadays, when the supply and marketing cooperatives outside do not have much meat supply, what else do you want when you can eat such delicious sea fish every week?

It is said that when you drink water, you should remember the person who dug the well. In this era, most workers were still quite simple and honest. They were grateful to the leaders who could bring benefits to them. Therefore, it was natural that Deputy Director Li Huaide was regarded as a great contributor by quite a number of cadres and employees of the steel rolling mill.

Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe could only be secretly annoyed in their hearts, but if they wanted to replace him, it would be very simple. That is, they could also bring benefits and advantages to the cadres and employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. The most direct and effective way was to get a large amount of pork immediately. Only in this way could they completely suppress Li Huaide's limelight.

But no matter whether it was Chang Changzheng or Liu Changhe, they simply did not have the ability to get a large amount of pork under the current circumstances, and even a few hundred kilograms were impossible. Therefore, at this moment, even though they felt nauseous as if they had swallowed a fly, they still had to pretend to be happy on the surface.

In fact, what these two people regret most now is that when Li Huaide proposed to go to Tianjin to buy sea fish, they should have shamelessly gone with him, so that they could have shared some of the credit.

Unfortunately, Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe still had considerable doubts about whether they could purchase a large number of sea fish in Tianjin. They were very worried that if they mobilized a large number of troops to travel such a long distance, they would definitely be criticized by their superiors if they failed to purchase a large number of sea fish. Therefore, the two of them only expressed their support verbally. After all, in the current situation, they could only try their best.

Unfortunately, Li Huaide not only successfully purchased a large number of sea fish, but also signed a long-term supply contract with Tianjin Gutang Fishery Company. What made Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe jealous was that Li Huaide actually killed two enemy spies who ambushed the convoy halfway. Although Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe were convinced that there was definitely something fishy and it was most likely related to Consultant Lin, now not only have the logistics staff following the convoy proved it, but it has also been confirmed by the Security Department. This makes Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe even more uncomfortable. They also have a lot of connections behind them. The old leaders of the department privately revealed that several main leaders are already discussing the reward for Li Huaide. You know, Li Huaide personally killed two enemy spies, which also brought considerable honor to the department.

What made Chang Changzheng and Liu Changhe even more angry was that the main leaders of the department had contacted the relevant departments and learned that Deputy Director Li Huaide had personally killed two Sakura spies. Compared with those lurking WW enemy spies, there was no doubt that the Sakura spies were more important.
