Chapter 1104: One sentence for Heaven, one sentence for Hell
Song Yu instructed the head chef to set aside a few portions of food. The head chef was the head of the cooking team, and his orders were to ensure that the members of the work group were well-fed. Therefore, the cooking team was on duty 24 hours a day in the canteen to ensure that the members of the work group could eat whenever they wanted.
The two comrades from the provincial organization department were also very happy. They hadn't been too willing to be sent here, but the first meal tonight had won them over. White rice and steamed buns were unlimited, and the stir-fried meat with cabbage was glistening with oil, especially the large slices of meat, which sizzled with oil with every bite.
They can easily afford seafood, but meat is a problem. Each family has only two ounces of meat coupons per month, so if they want to eat dumplings, they have to save up for three or four months.
But today I ate whatever I wanted, and before I knew it, I had overeaten.
Song Yu hurriedly returned to the office with two comrades from the Provincial Organization Department. Da Bao was talking to Jin Hai in a low voice when the comrades from the Provincial Organization Department stood in front of Da Bao and said respectfully.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Before they arrived, the vice minister had spoken with them, telling them that this working group was no ordinary organization; even the provincial leaders in charge of the work didn't dare to utter a sound in their presence. Therefore, he instructed them to be vigilant, fully cooperate with the working group, and not to be negligent.
When these two comrades arrived at the military district recruitment site, they were so frightened by the scale and the presence of this force that they didn't dare to say a word. How could they dare to be negligent? You must be joking!
Da Bao nodded and said gently.
"Have you eaten? How's the food here? If you need anything, just let me know, and I'll tell them to try their best to accommodate you."
The two comrades were flattered and quickly replied.
"The food here is so good, we're all a bit stuffed."
Da Bao nodded in satisfaction.
"In that case, let's get to work. You two draft an appointment letter to appoint Comrade Chen Agen as the director of the Mindu Heavy Machinery Factory, effective immediately, and Comrade Wang Qiuju as the director of the office of the Mindu Heavy Machinery Factory. You two will take them to their new posts tomorrow morning."
The two comrades from the Provincial Organization Department readily agreed. It was too easy. For an appointment in a municipal-level public-private joint venture to be issued by the province was really giving them too much credit.
The man with the long face looked at everything in front of him as if in a dream. Rather than a young man, he was more like a teenager. He had been made the director of a heavy machinery factory with just a few words. Putting aside the rank, he was just a small supply and marketing cooperative director. The difference between him and the director of a heavy machinery factory was like heaven and earth.
As for Wang Qiuju, she was still preoccupied with wondering if there would be meat for dinner tonight. The work group's food must have been loaded with oil, right?
The man with the long face stammered.
"Sir, Commander, is what you're saying true? I'm the director of the heavy machinery factory now?"
Seeing his expression, Jin Hai and the others laughed, and Da Bao couldn't help but smile as well, nodding in agreement.
"These two are leaders from the Provincial Organization Department. They will handle all the paperwork for you. You and Wang Qiuju will go to take up your posts at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. However, I hope you will remember a few requirements of mine."
Once you arrive, your first task is to launch the Four Cleanups and Five Antis Movement, just like you are doing at the supply and marketing cooperative today. Use both verbal and physical methods, but do not allow anyone to be killed. Comrade Wang Qiuju will fully cooperate with your work.
Secondly, we must dig deep and expose all the bad elements, both those on the surface and those hidden. Regardless of the severity of their actions, they must be subject to public criticism and struggle. In serious cases, I will have the Public Security Bureau handle the matter.
Third, struggle is not the goal; the goal is development. After all this is done well, I hope you can run the heavy machinery plant steadily and make it contribute to the country and generate profits.
"So? Any other questions? It's okay, it's alright if you can't figure it out. You can come find me here anytime you figure it out."
The long-faced man remembered what Da Bao said and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Sir, what about the original leaders of the heavy machinery factory?"
Dabao sneered.
"Now that all enterprises have become state-owned, the heavy machinery factory is still a joint public-private enterprise, which shows that the leaders of the heavy machinery factory are incompetent and unfit for their positions."
"Aren't you very familiar with the heavy machinery factory? Then go back and draft a list of those to be retained or dismissed, and submit it to the comrades at the Provincial Organization Department tomorrow morning. They will then transfer the existing leaders back to the city based on the list you provide, and temporarily suspend them from their duties pending investigation."
This is the power of those in power; a single word can send someone to heaven or hell. With just a few simple words, Da Bao brought down all the leaders of the heavy machinery factory. What does it mean to be investigated? How many leaders can withstand an investigation? This effectively put an end to the careers of the heavy machinery factory's leaders.
The long-faced man became even more excited upon hearing this and readily agreed.
Da Bao said to Chen Huaiwen and the others.
"Take these two comrades to the canteen for lunch, and while you're at it, bring up the food for me and Deputy Team Leader Jin. Oh, and the two young comrades on guard duty at the gate haven't eaten yet; notify the guard platoon to change shifts."
"Yes, team leader."
Chen Huaiwen and the others left, leaving only Da Bao and Jin Hai in the office.
Jin Hai pondered for a moment, then said to Da Bao.
"Team leader, aren't we being a bit too hasty in doing this?"
Dabao smiled and shook his head.
"I've been observing Chen Agen all day. He's quite capable, but also rather timid. It's strange that someone like him would suddenly rise to such a high position..."
It's either obey or act recklessly; I believe Chen Agen is very obedient.
Jin Hai, after tomorrow, once Chen Agen has finished handing over the reins, you will lead a team to the heavy machinery factory to supervise Chen Agen in carrying out this campaign.
"Make sure to keep good records; we'll need to submit these to our superiors after we return to Beijing."
Jin Hai nodded. If the working group is supervising, then there won't be any problems.
Long-faced man and Wang Qiuju finally got to eat stir-fried cabbage with meat. The chef here was generous with the oil, and the two of them ate with great gusto. A basket of ten steamed buns was gone in the blink of an eye, and the chef chuckled and brought over another basket.
People in this era truly value food above all else; they quickly stuff anything edible into their mouths without wasting a single grain.
After the meal, Chen Huaiwen took them home. Only now did Wang Qiuju realize that she had been inexplicably promoted to the position of office director of the city's largest company. The worst part was that this director was illiterate.
When they arrived at the long-faced man's house, Chen Huaiwen told him that the team leader had already instructed them to pick them up by car the next morning and then go to the heavy machinery factory together.
The long-faced man readily agreed. He and Wang Qiuju got out of the car. Wang Qiuju was still a little reluctant, complaining that Chen Huaiwen hadn't taken her home. She muttered that Chen Huaiwen must be holding a grudge.
The man with the long face quickly pulled her aside. This was the leader's official car; did they think it would take them all home? A person should at least have some sense of propriety.
