"I do miss him a little. When he died, he was not even older than my eldest brother. Fourth uncle, why do people live? Once you close your eyes, you're gone," said Zhang Dabao.

"Life, aging, sickness and death are all reincarnation. They are dead now, maybe they will be reborn into a good family in the future and live a good life. Dabao, the fire in Liujia Village..." Zhang Zhiling was interrupted by Zhang Dabao before he finished his question.

"Fourth uncle, I said that Zhang Dasong's death cannot be in vain. They are using fools to fool us, so I will let them fool us. If I don't do this, there will be others who will do the same in the future. We must make them all remember that no one in Zhangjia Village should be offended," said Zhang Dabao, standing up.

"Da Biao, most people..." Zhang Zhiling was encouraged after hearing his nephew's words.

"Fourth Uncle, no snowflake is innocent during an avalanche. There is no such thing as worthy of death or not, they are all the same in my eyes," said Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Zhiling didn't know what to say. Zhang Dayou found him this morning and told him about the fire in Liujia Village and what Zhang Dabao said at that time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he wanted to find Zhang Dabao to ask clearly, but he didn't expect such an answer.

"Uncle, I'm going abroad next year. I may not be back often, and you'll need to worry about things at home. Don't hide or be afraid if something happens. Go to the steel mill to find Li Huaide and ask him to call me," Zhang Dabao turned around and said to Zhang Zhiling.

"Didn't your cousin get transferred?" Zhang Zhiling asked.

"Once he's transferred away, can't he be transferred back? He can go back before the New Year, don't worry. What about Dazheng? Has he left?" Zhang Dabao's mood returned to normal.

"I left with Dasen and the others early this morning. Did Dabia, Dazheng and Shouying also borrow your money to buy a house?" Zhang Zhiling asked.

"What a coincidence! It's right next to our courtyard. Dongxu heard that someone was selling a house. At that time, the three of them had just been recruited and would definitely stay in the city in the future. With their qualifications, it was not known when they would be allocated a house, so they might as well buy one, which would be convenient for them to get married in the future," Zhang Dabia explained.

"Houses in the city are so expensive..." Zhang Zhiling seemed to want to give money.

"Fourth Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's a matter between me and the three of them. They have become regular employees and earn about 30 yuan a month. They can save money quickly," said Zhang Dabao.

"That's true. I didn't expect Da Zheng to be so lucky. Da Biao, the one I was most worried about was Da Zheng. He was not good at studying and working. He must have been like Da Song in the village, neither high nor low. But now, he has moved to the city, has a stable job and a house. Thank you so much," said Zhang Zhiling.

"Why are you thanking me? My great-grandfather is right there. Isn't he also Da Zheng's great-grandfather? Let's go. It's time for me to go back too." Zhang Dabao and Zhang Zhiling went down the mountain together.

Chapter 387 Li Huaide Returns to the Steel Rolling Mill

The Ministry of Machinery Industry and the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill searched for Li Huaide for a whole day but couldn't find him. The next day, Li Huaide showed up on his own, came to the Ministry of Machinery Industry, found Yang Weihua, and asked to report to his post.

"What the hell are you doing? Several ministers are looking for you now. They were looking for you the whole day yesterday," Yang Weihua said to Li Huaide when he saw him appear.

"Looking for ***? I told Vice Minister Wang at the time that I should go home and rest for two days and then report to the ministry. He agreed," said Li Huaide.

"Have you gone home? The home you went back to?" Yang Weihua laughed angrily. I waited at your doorstep for a whole day yesterday, did you know that?

"If you want to calm down, you should find a quiet place. The ministers are not looking for me for good reasons, so you should arrange a job for me as soon as possible. In fact, I like being your deputy the most. I have been your deputy for five or six years in the steel rolling mill, and I have only been the factory director for a period of time. I couldn't adapt to the new situation. It seems that I am not fit to be the top leader," said Li Huaide.

"You are trying to cheat me in front of me, Li Huaide. I really underestimated you." Yang Weihua was so angry that he laughed.

"No, you misunderstood me. Don't you know who I am?..." Li Huaide hurriedly explained.

At this time, the phone on Yang Weihua's desk rang, "Weihua, isn't Li Huaide here? Come to my office together." The person who called was Deputy Minister Shi Kejun.

"You heard it too, let's go. Minister Shi will personally arrange the work for you," Yang Weihua said to Li Huaide who was standing aside.

"Li Huaide, do you still have any organizational discipline? Where have you been?" As soon as Shi Kejun saw Li Huaide coming, he started criticizing him.

"Leader, you really wronged me. I asked for leave from Deputy Minister Wang at that time. I said I would go home and rest for two days. Today is the third day. I did not delay at all. I reported to Director Yang before eight o'clock," said Li Huaide.

Deputy Minister Wang Jian on the side did not speak either. "I wished you could take a year off. Who the hell knew you were such a bad bastard?" Li Feiyue could not carry out any work after the steel mill was in such a mess.

"We won't pursue this matter anymore. Don't report it for now. You should go back to work at the Red Star Factory," said Shi Kejun.

"Leader, you can't do this. I've just been happy for two days. I was finally transferred from a local unit to a ministry, and I'm enjoying the treatment of a full-time department head. My little Jing is so happy. She is thirteen years old this year, and I haven't spent enough time with her. Li Kuan and Li Ce are not close to me at all, so I'd better use this time to enhance the relationship between father and son." Li Huaide directly rejected Shi Kejun's proposal.

"Li Huaide, this is not a discussion with you, this is an organization's arrangement," Shi Kejun said, slapping the table.

"The organization can't make an appointment today and then change it in two days. Changing orders every day will affect credibility. Leader, don't be angry. My ability is far inferior to Li Feiyue. He studied in Suzhou and worked in a large company. He has just arrived and is definitely not familiar with the work. He just needs two days to adapt." Li Huaide still refused to give in.

"He can't adapt. Don't you know how much we need foreign exchange? How can Li Feiyue get foreign trade orders? Do you still have grievances? Tell me what you think." Seeing that his intimidation failed, Shi Kejun also relaxed.

"Leader, I don't have the ability to contact the outside world. Whoever lies is a puppy," Li Huaide said seriously.

"F*ck," Shi Kejun laughed angrily, "Weihua, why didn't I see that Li Huaide was this kind of person earlier? It's really infuriating."

"Report to the leader, I didn't notice it either," said Yang Weihua.

"I don't care whether you are a cat or a dog, you must get the foreign trade orders done. What about your cousin? Doesn't he have some connections?" Shi Kejun asked.

"My cousin was fired from the factory because of me," said Li Huaide.

"Old Wang, the Li Feiyue you arranged is really a talent. Is he sick?" Shi Kejun asked Wang Jian.

"It was Ji Zhengyi who did it. He originally wanted to scare Zhang Dabao, but he didn't expect that Zhang Dabao was so honest and took it seriously," said Wang Jian.

"Huaide, please contact Zhang Dabao and I will apologize to him. Foreign trade orders are very important to us," said Shi Kejun.

"I can't contact the leader today. He went to the countryside. His eldest brother was beaten to death. His nephew came to call him last night. He probably won't be back today." Li Huaide contacted Xu Sinian in the morning. Because Zhang Cuihua asked someone to ask for leave, Xu Sinian knew about this.

"What does it mean to be beaten to death?" Shi Kejun asked.

Li Huaide gave a brief explanation.

"Using a fool to fool a fool? What a talent!" Shi Kejun wanted to help Zhang Dabao, so he picked up the phone and made a call.

"What? Such a coincidence? Damn!" Shi Kejun put down the phone. "The whole village that beat people was burned to death. Isn't that a coincidence? Of more than a hundred people, only that fool who was caught was left? The fire was burning all over the village. The wind was so strong, but there was nothing happening on the mountain. Damn, what on earth is going on?"

Shi Kejun cursed and no one knew what to say, so they could only remain silent.

"Huaide, I know you have a way. Tell me your conditions." After a long silence, Shi Kejun spoke.

"Leader, you may have misunderstood me. I really have no choice. I don't have any intention of threatening my superiors. There is really no way. If you don't believe me, I can take up the position at the steel rolling mill right now. I am familiar with it and can organize production and life right away," said Li Huaide.

"I believe you, Huaide. The ministry has held a meeting and it's decided that you will go to the steel rolling mill. You will serve as the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill concurrently with the position of the first deputy director of the Metallurgical Bureau. Like Yang Weihua, you are a bureau-level cadre. If you have any other ideas, please speak out and we can study them together." Shi Kejun didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.

"Really let me go? Let Wang Cheng come back to serve as the first deputy factory director, and let Xu Sinian be in charge of the organization as a deputy organization, in charge of organization, propaganda, trade unions, women's federations, and youth league organizations; I will concurrently serve as the chief organization officer. Engineer Chu from the department who is helping in the new workshop of the factory is a good person with high skills, so arrange for him to be the chief engineer of the factory. Xing Baoguo from the Security Department has strong professional ability, and his administrative level will be promoted one level to become the assistant to the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, with deputy bureau-level treatment. Li Feiyue and his people should get out," said Li Huaide.

"Deputy Minister Wang, you are in charge of the organization. Tell me what you think," Shi Kejun asked Wang Jian on the side.

"I totally agree. A formal document may be issued now, and you and the minister just need to sign it." Wang Jian now just wanted to get rid of this mess. What Li Huaide said was not difficult to do, so he had no reason to object.

"Then go and write the document. The minister is at home now. After he signs it, you and Weihua will work together to send Director Li to office. We must give Huaide enough face," said Shi Kejun.

"No problem," Wang Jian nodded and went out.

"Huaide, after you take office, contact Zhang Dabao first. He is from your unit and you can do it yourself," Shi Kejun instructed Li Huaide again.

"I understand, leader. But Da Biao is a little sad this time. The factory has gone too far, and these people's eating habits are also a bit ugly," said Li Huaide.

"The leaders above are very dissatisfied with Wang Jian, and he has also been embarrassed. Wang Jian is also leaving to serve as a deputy position in the Jilin Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. His youngest son has been sentenced to three years in prison." Shi Kejun told Li Huaide the result of this game, which ended in Wang Jian's failure.

Chapter 388 Zhang Cuihua's Promotion

The Ministry of Machinery Industry was very efficient and all the materials were completed before ten o'clock. Yang Weihua also notified Xu Sinian in advance and told him to go to the conference room for a meeting at ten-thirty in the morning as there was an important notice to be conveyed.

At 10:20, Shi Kejun and his party arrived at the Red Star Steel Mill. Shi Kejun, Wang Jian, Yang Weihua and Li Huaide sat on the rostrum. At the meeting, Deputy Minister Wang Jian announced the appointment of Comrade Li Huaide. As the first deputy director of the Metallurgical Bureau at the department level, Li Huaide served as the director and organization director of the Red Star Steel Mill. Wang Cheng became the first deputy director and deputy organization officer, and Xu Sinian became the deputy organization officer and concurrently served as the chairman of the trade union, becoming the third in command of the factory. Chu Zhengguo became the new chief engineer of the steel mill, and Xing Baoguo became the assistant director of the factory, enjoying the treatment of deputy department level officials.

Deputy Minister Shi Kejun made several suggestions to the new team headed by Li Huaide and put forward requirements for the next development of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Li Huaide emphasized to the department leaders and expressed his next work idea, that production would be resumed in the afternoon and the normal production and living order in the factory would be restored first; he required that the equipment in the new workshop be debugged within three days and the machine must be tested before the Spring Festival.

The production and living order of Hongxing Steel Rolling were restored, and Li Feiyue and the other two left in disgrace.

As soon as he got to work in the afternoon, Li Huaide called several deputy factory managers. "Si Nian, we are even busier now. The office needs to find a suitable person to be the deputy organization manager and also to take charge of the office work," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"I was just about to say this. How about Li Guoqiang? I think he can do it." Xu Sinian proposed a candidate.

"I feel that Li Guoqiang is the most suitable candidate for our unit besides Si Nian," said Wang Cheng. He is very familiar with Li Guoqiang, who is a deputy in the office and Li Huaide's former secretary.

"Then don't decide on Li Guoqiang. It was you who recommended Si Nianren. You should have a good talk with him. If he can't do a good job, I will have to come to you again," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Director, Deputy Director Zhang from the logistics department didn't provoke anyone, but you just let him go. Isn't that inappropriate?" Wang Cheng said.

"Of course not. We all know that Deputy Director Zhang is capable at work. He should at least be a director, and he is qualified to be a deputy factory director," said Liu Le.

"Old Liu, it's too late. Dabao is still a child," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"He's already in his twenties, not young anymore. Director, I think what we say about the deputy director doesn't count. Don't let him go to the logistics department. Let him serve as a deputy in the trade union. He will have a higher rank and will have some free time," Xu Sinian put forward his suggestion.

Everyone agreed that this was a good idea, and so without Zhang Dabao's knowledge, he became a department-level cadre.

"Old Hu from the Personnel Department has been there for quite some time, right?" Li Huaide asked.

"It's not short. He has strong working ability and high professional level. It would be a good idea to have him go to the Logistics Department. There happens to be a vacancy for a deputy director," said Wang Cheng.

"There is another thing. The Women's Federation does not have a person in charge right now, and I may not be able to take care of my work in the future," Xu Sinian raised another question.

"Si Nian, what's the problem? There is no one to choose a person in charge. I think Zhang Cuihua, the secretary of the Women's Federation, has strong working ability and is good at implementing leadership measures. She is a good candidate. She can first be the deputy section chief to preside over the work, and then let her become the section chief after a while," said Wang Cheng.

"Cuihua is a good person," Li Huaide nodded in agreement.

......

The victory meeting ended at three o'clock in the afternoon. Then Hu Kexue, the new deputy director of the Logistics Department and chief of the Personnel Section, personally drafted the appointment and removal documents. After the factory leaders signed them, they were notified to the employees of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill through broadcasting and posted notices.

Today, Zhang Cuihua and He Yuzhu both took leave to return to Zhangjia Village, and they didn't know what happened in the factory today. Zhang Lianhua was sad because her eldest brother passed away and she didn't attend Zhang Dasong's funeral because she was pregnant, so she didn't go to work either. However, Xu Damao came and heard about the appointment notice first.

"Da Biao has become the vice chairman of the trade union, and has taken a step further to become a director-level leader. It's amazing." Xu Damao nodded repeatedly for his good friend's progress.

"Da Mao, who is Zhang Cuihua?" A colleague asked Xu Damao after hearing the notice.

"Zhang Cuihua? Why does this name sound so familiar? But who is she?" Xu Damao couldn't remember for a moment. "Sister Hua is so powerful. If we send a new leader of the Women's Federation there, can she carry out the work there?" the colleague just now said again.

"Brother Liu, the Sister Hua you mentioned is Zhang Cuihua. Now I remember, this is Aunt Jia's maiden name. Not many people call her that now, so I almost forgot it." Xu Damao suddenly realized.

"I told you, except Sister Hua, no one can carry out the work of the Women's Federation," Liu Yang from the Propaganda Department said as a matter of course.

"Aunt Jia has become a formal cadre, a deputy section chief, and is also in charge of work?" Xu Damao reacted.

"Isn't it normal for Sister Hua to be promoted? Didn't you hear it just now? Comrade Zhang Cuihua has strong verbal expression ability, many methods to solve practical problems, she is flexible and adaptable, and she implements the work system in place..." Liu Yang said.

Xu Damao nodded involuntarily. The leaders' summary was quite accurate. Of course, she had strong working ability and outstanding verbal expression. Who would not admit it? Let Aunt Jia scold him at the door of her house. She has dominated Hongxing Street for more than 20 years. Who doesn't know? There is no need to say anything about solving problems. She always accepts *** to watch the melon. I ask who is not afraid?

Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Dasong are siblings, close in age and had a very good relationship when they were children. She was very sad about Zhang Dasong's accidental death. After sending Zhang Dasong away, she and He Yuzhu took the bus back to the city. She cried all the way.

It was already dark when they returned to Yard 95. As soon as they entered the yard, Yang Ruihua saw that it was them who came back, and greeted them, "Sister-in-law, congratulations."

"Yang Ruihua, do you know how to speak? My eldest brother just died and you are congratulating me?" Zhang Cuihua immediately turned hostile.

"It's not about that. Sister-in-law, you have become a cadre, a formal state cadre," said Yang Ruihua.

"I have been an officer of the Women's Federation for a long time, earning 40.5 yuan a month. Didn't you congratulate me a long time ago?" Zhang Cuihua was stunned by the congratulations.

"That was a long time ago. The steel rolling mill held a meeting today, and Director Li went back. You became the deputy section chief, a cadre like Zhuzi," said Yang Ruihua.

"Aunt Jia, what Third Aunt said is true." Niu Xiaozheng's father also came over, and Guo Kang and Xu Damao from the backyard also came over and confirmed the matter.
