Chapter 778: Early Morning Farce 2
He Daqing stared at Xu Fugui, who was smiling, with cold eyes, knowing that this smiling tiger was still deliberately setting a trap for him. This guy did not answer the question raised by Li Botao just now, but instead used the excuse of being old neighbors in the old street to force him to agree to help Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning. Even if he did not agree, the two families would only hate him for being ruthless and would still think of the good things about Xu Fugui.
How could He Daqing let Xu Fugui get what he wanted? So he sneered and said, "Xu Fugui, now you are the manager of the No. 95 courtyard. You have the obligation to popularize the laws and regulations to the residents of the courtyard. Don't say that legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. As far as I know, nearly two hundred workers of the Red Star Steel Mill have been arrested for stealing materials from the steel mill, and those who sell the stolen goods are also being arrested. After these criminals are arrested, those who know about it but do not report it and who shelter and protect the criminals will be investigated and arrested soon. I am not afraid to tell you here that the workers who stole materials from the steel mill in the last surprise inspection were only expelled and sentenced because several major leaders of the Red Star Steel Mill came forward to guarantee them. Otherwise, workers like Zhou Erniu who were fined and demoted would be arrested. Once they were fired, they were sent to prison for labor reform. At that time, Secretary Chang and Director Liu of the steel mill had guaranteed that there would be no such thing in the future at the Red Star Steel Mill, and ideological education would be carried out in the factory. However, after the surprise inspection by the Security Department yesterday evening, the actual situation left all the leaders of the steel mill speechless. This time, the Security Department conducted a surprise inspection, but received instructions from the superiors. Not to mention those guys who were caught red-handed, even the leaders of the steel mill had to follow suit. Of course, your Propaganda Department will not have an easy time either. After all, it is your Propaganda Department that is responsible for ideological education and propaganda for all the cadres and workers of the factory. You still have the mind to say here that legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. I guess you will no longer be in the mood to consider these illegal and criminal workers after you go to work today."
Xu Fugui's face changed drastically after hearing this. As a projectionist in the Propaganda Department of the steel rolling mill, he of course knew that after the last surprise inspection, the leaders of the steel rolling mill had repeatedly ordered the Propaganda Department to do a good job in ideological education for the cadres and employees of the factory. He had also been busy for a while, playing ideological education propaganda films every night, but their Propaganda Department only worked for more than a week before they stopped and never mentioned related matters again. In the words of Chief Yao of their Propaganda Department, this gust of wind has passed.
If the higher authorities hold the main leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill accountable, then no one in the Propaganda Department will suffer any consequences. Someone will have to be made a scapegoat, especially the section chiefs and deputy section chiefs, who will definitely be the first to bear the brunt, and even the entire Propaganda Department may be punished.
You should know that Xu Fugui has been using his connections recently to try to get his son Xu Damao a regular employee. However, there is only one vacancy for a projectionist in the Propaganda Department now. If Xu Fugui wants his son to be a regular employee, he can only leave the Propaganda Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Only in this way can his son take over his job as a projectionist. However, Xu Fugui has also found a way out for himself, which is to continue working as a projectionist in the cinema. Many units are short of projectionists now, and with his skills, it is not difficult for him to find a new job as a projectionist. After Xu Fugui privately gave Section Chief Yao a small yellow croaker, Section Chief Yao finally nodded and agreed. He agreed that as long as Xu Damao could pass the exam and obtain the formal projectionist qualification, he would allow the father and son to take over. Of course, Xu Fugui had already made arrangements with the other two deputy section chiefs.
However, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, Xu Fugui's own work file must withstand scrutiny. After all, the propaganda department is more strict with political review. Although he is not afraid of investigation during the time he worked at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Xu Fugui himself knows very well that if someone investigates the history he had with Lou Bancheng, there will be some trouble.
If the entire Propaganda Department of the Red Star Steel Mill was punished because of these workers who were caught stealing materials from the steel mill during the surprise inspection, Xu Fugui could imagine that it would not be easy for him to get a job in a movie theater as planned. No propaganda department would accept a punished projectionist, no matter how good his projection skills were. After all, the propaganda department was more strict with political review.
At this moment, Xu Fugui couldn't help but grit his teeth. It was the guys like Zhou Erniu who refused to change their ways that made his plan face the possibility of being shattered. If he couldn't get the job in the cinema as he wished, his son Xu Damao would only be an apprentice without a regular job. If Xu Fugui had wanted to use the matter of Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning to deliberately make trouble for He Daqing before, then now he wanted to chop these two bastards to pieces with a knife.
Before his own interests were involved, Xu Fugui might have planned to use Zhou Erniu and Yu Kangning's affairs to make trouble for his arch-enemy He Daqing. However, according to He Daqing, he might be implicated, which is simply "a fire in the city gate that affects all the fish in the pond". Now Xu Fugui has no interest in caring about Zhou Erniu's wife and her mother. What he cares most about now is whether the leaders of the steel rolling mill will take out their anger on the Propaganda Department because of these arrested workers. No, he has to inform Chief Yao about this matter immediately. Maybe he can find a way to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Xu Fugui glared at Zhou Erniu's wife, who was glaring at him, and said impatiently, "Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, your Zhou Erniu was arrested by the Security Department for stealing materials from the steel mill. At this time, your family members did not think about actively returning the stolen goods and seeking leniency, but ran to the Intermediate Court to make trouble. Director He has just said that after the Security Department has arrested those who sold the stolen goods, they will investigate and arrest those who knew about the crime but did not report it and those who sheltered and protected the criminals. You two should think about whether you will be among those arrested."
Zhou Erniu's wife and son Zhou Hongjun, who were furious just now, looked at each other after hearing Xu Fugui's words. Then, in full view of everyone, the mother and son walked towards the front yard without saying a word.
The residents who saw this scene could not help but imagine that the mother and daughter must have known for a long time that Zhou Erniu had stolen materials from the steel mill.
