"Name?" In the interrogation room, two policemen in police uniforms looked at Xu Damao in front of them and asked coldly.
"Are you going to capture me if you don't know who I am?" Xu Damao stopped immediately.
"Name!" The policeman looked at Xu Damao coldly, his voice becoming more serious and cold.
Xu Damao swallowed, but after all, he still didn't dare to shout anymore: "Xu Damao!"
"age?"
"······"
"I'm not a police comrade. I really didn't commit any crime. I have always done my job honestly and never did anything illegal or disciplinary. Did you arrest the wrong person?"
The policeman impatiently put down the recording pen in his hand, looked at Xu Damao and said, "You know Li Huaide, right?"
The tone was very determined.
"I know him!" Xu Damao said: "He used to be the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. I worked under him at the time, so of course I know him."
"What about You Fengxia?" the policeman asked again.
"We know her, Li Huaide's mistress!" Xu Damao said.
The police asked: "What is your relationship with Li Huaide and You Fengxia?"
Xu Damao said: "What relationship does it have? I just know them, know they are doing business, and have introduced a few people to them. Is this also illegal?"
"Xu Damao, if there is no evidence, will we bring you back? We will be lenient if you confess, and strict if you resist. You'd better explain your matter clearly as soon as possible!"
"Comrade policeman, I'm confused by what you're saying! What's wrong with me?"
The policeman said directly: "Li Huaide and You Fengxia have confessed, do you think it's still useful to deny it?"
Xu Damao said: "Comrade police, I really just help them connect people and introduce people to do business with them."
"·······"
Because the police had no substantive evidence and relied only on the words of Li Huaide and You Fengxia, as well as Yan Fugui and others, they could not convict Xu Damao of any serious crime. Xu Damao was detained for five days and fined 3,000 yuan. Yuan was released.
Xu Damao is also shrewd. Ever since he was arrested for cooperating with Liu Haizhong, he has kept an eye out. He knew that Li Huaide and You Fengxia were doing smuggling business, so he never thought about getting involved. He just simply I want to make a quick buck out of it.
It was precisely because Xu Damao knew that Li Huaide and You Fengxia were in the smuggling business and introduced people to cooperate with them to earn commissions that gave the police a reason to arrest him.
The two thousand yuan commission You Fengxia gave to Xu Damao was also confiscated. Now Xu Damao lost five thousand yuan. It is only the 1980s, and the per capita salary is only a few hundred yuan. What is the concept of five thousand yuan? A year's salary for an average worker.
Although his body ached, Xu Damao could only cry and bleed.
Xu Damao was disheveled and dejected when he returned to the courtyard. He happened to catch up with Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong playing chess in the small house in front of Yi Zhonghai's house in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing were watching the game.
A few people were sitting by the window. Although the window was closed, the curtains were open. There was a stove burning in the room, and a pipe made of white iron rose from the inside to the outside.
Although gas is now available, everyone is still used to burning coal for heating. After all, the courtyard house is not like those buildings that have heating supply.
"Da Mao is out!" Yi Zhonghai had sharp eyes and immediately noticed Xu Damao who had just returned, and hurriedly greeted Xu Damao through the window.
He Daqing twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at Xu Damao, then lowered his head and continued to watch the game without saying anything. Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui glanced at Xu Damao, then lowered their heads and continued playing chess, as if they hadn't seen it at all.
"Hello, sir!" Seeing that several people were unwilling to talk to him, Xu Damao didn't bother to say hello to them, so he just called Yi Zhonghai.
"In the past few days since you have been detained, your wife is almost dying of anxiety at home alone. You should go back and take a look first! Lest she worry." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Then I'll go back first." Xu Damao didn't continue to be polite to Yi Zhonghai, and walked quickly through the middle courtyard, followed the wall to the corridor next to the west wing.
"Why did this grandson come out so quickly!" Yan Fugui watched Xu Damao walk by the window, and said angrily without waiting for Xu Damao to go far.
The voice was not quiet, enough for Xu Damao outside the room to hear.
Liu Haizhong set up the cannon: "General! What else could be the reason? There is insufficient evidence! This grandson is very good! He is not so easy to fall into."
"I heard that Li Huaide confessed to You Fengxia and the police came to arrest him!" Yan Fugui said disdainfully: "This grandson actually tricked me! Hmph!"
Liu Haizhong said: "So what if I confess, he didn't have any involvement in you smuggling TVs. At most, he just helped to make the connection. If the consequences are high, he will be fined and detained."
Since entering the hospital last time, Liu Haizhong has been studying things related to law a lot recently, and he has been studying it quite seriously.
"There is no such thing as a good thing in the sky." Yi Zhonghai said: "Even if it does happen, it won't fall on us, Lao Yan! We still have to live a down-to-earth life."
"Why!"
Yan Fugui sighed, with a look of regret on his face: "It's all my fault that I was too greedy at the time. When I heard that the profits were so high, how could I care so much? I knew that smuggling was illegal, but thinking about such high profits would be illegal, as long as I didn't It’s okay if you get caught, just keep it in mind, hey!”
As he spoke, he sighed again, with a look of emotion on his face.
"You clearly have the mentality of a gambler, so don't do it." Yi Zhonghai said solemnly.
"Don't I regret it now?" Yan Fugui said.
"I was the same way back then!" Liu Haizhong also lamented: "After all, it was all caused by greed."
He Daqing, who was next to him, could hear a few people talking at the corner of his mouth, and he was proudly laughing at a few people in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and his face didn't change much.
He Daqing was very clear about the virtues of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui. They were both official fans and iron roosters, but they both had a little cleverness. Xu Damao would not trick them.
It was precisely because the two of them slowly figured this out that they ignored Xu Damao and pretended not to have seen him.
"Don't tell me. Although Xu Damao's grandson is a loser, he is really a little clever." Yan Fugui's words are quite pertinent.
"The key is that all his intelligence was used in crooked ways. If he had used it in the right way, he would have been successful long ago." Yi Zhonghai also said with emotion.
Liu Haizhong said, "Used on the right path? Just Xu Damao?"
"It will probably be difficult in this life." Liu Haizhong was still a little angry when he spoke, obviously because he still had feelings for Xu Damao.
Listening to several people's complaints about Xu Damao, He Daqing only pricked up his ears but did not participate.
When Xu Damao returned home, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more unwilling he became. He just lost a whole five thousand yuan. He couldn't even eat the meal prepared by his wife, so he took a shower and got into bed.
Lying on the bed, Xu Damao began to think about how to make back the five thousand yuan he had lost. After thinking about it, he had no good idea. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and a figure appeared.
Seeing that it was New Year's Eve, Wang Xinyi came back early this year. Not only did he come back, but he also brought back a boy. He looked about 27 or 28 years old, wore glasses, and was a little shy. He was very reserved when he arrived at Wang Zhong's house. .
I heard from Wang Xinyi that the man was a Ph.D. student at the Polytechnic Institute and was an alumnus of Wang Zhong.
Whether it was a real material or an embroidered pillow, Wang Zhong could tell with just a few words. Although this kid was not old, he had a solid foundation, rich theoretical knowledge, and no shortage of practical operations. He was a talent.
Seeing Wang Zhong chatting with the boy, Wang Xinyi was also very happy.
"Stop chatting now, let's eat!" Qin Jingru and Wang Xinyi brought the prepared meals from the kitchen to the table.
We were having New Year's Eve dinner together today, and the dishes were of course sumptuous, and we also caught up with Wang Xinyi to bring something home, but Qin Jingru used all the skills at the bottom of the box.
"Xiao Wu, eat more and treat yourself as if you were at home. Don't be polite!" Qin Jingru greeted Wu Xiang warmly.
Wu Xiang is a native of Hunan Province. He was born in a rural area. He was admitted to the Polytechnic University in 1980 and is considered a little genius.
"Xiao Wu, how did you and Xin Yi meet?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.
Wu Xiang immediately blushed.
"Mom!" Wang Xinyi, who had always been generous, also followed Wang Zhong's temperament. He was quite straightforward and bold, and did not feel shy.
"Xin Yi and I met in the hospital." Although Wu Xiang was shy, he still had the courage to tell the story of how they got to know each other: "I had appendicitis and fainted in the laboratory. My mentor and senior brothers sent me to the hospital. Hospital, Xin Yi is my chief surgeon."
Now that Wang Xinyi is a graduate student, her tutor usually leaves minor surgeries such as appendectomy to her. Only for some large-scale surgeries, Wang Xinyi's tutor will personally go into battle and ask Wang Xinyi to help her.
"That's it?" Wang Heng asked curiously while grabbing the rice in the bowl.
Wu Xiang said: "I fell in love with Xin Yi the first time I saw her!"
As soon as these words came out, Wu Xiang's face immediately turned redder, but he still suppressed his shyness: "But I am timid and dare not tell Xin Yi, so I can only quietly ask the nurse for news about Xin Yi. Unexpectedly, I was hit by Xin Yi who was doing ward rounds."
Wang Xinyi said: "I walked up to his hospital bed and asked him: 'Do you like me?' He was completely stunned by my question at the time, and when he reacted, he even made a big blush. I felt that he was so He is quite an interesting person, I have met him a few times...”
All in all, the two bastards saw each other right at Mung Bean, and then gradually got in touch with each other. They found that they both admired each other's personalities and values, and the relationship was naturally settled.
The New Year's Eve dinner was quite enjoyable, and Wang Heng's eyes almost never left Wu Xiang, who was about to become his brother-in-law.
In the evening, Wu Xiang also stayed to watch the New Year's Eve with Wang Zhong and his family. The family sat on the sofa watching the Spring Festival Gala and eating fruits. Wu Xiang quickly integrated into the cheerful atmosphere and no longer looked like he had at the beginning. So reserved.
On the second day of the new year, Lou Xiao'e came to the courtyard again, bringing large and small bags to visit Sha Zhu, Ran Qiuye, and the elder Yi Zhonghai.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Xu Damao also made up his mind to earn a sum of money.
Wang Zhong is still busy with the machinery factory. As time goes by, the spring breeze of reform and opening up spreads throughout the country, and problems in the machinery factory also appear. The delay in decision-making caused by the system is always a flaw.
Although Wang Zhong, the factory director, has decision-making power on certain matters, this does not mean that the Machinery Factory is Wang Zhong's dictum. Although in recent years, under the leadership of Wang Zhong, the Machinery Factory has regained its vitality, but I want to To truly get rid of the current predicament and turn losses into profits, the machinery factory must rise from the ashes to be reborn.
As various problems emerged, the conflicts between Wang Zhong and other leaders in the factory became more and more intense.
To elaborate, Wang Zhong is a person who pursues perfection and has a strong desire to control things, but now Wang Zhong is restricted in the factory, and this restriction cannot be changed by Wang Zhong.
Whenever something bigger happens, we have to hold meetings, discuss it, report it, and wait for approval from the superiors.
Time and time again, Wang Zhong finally became impatient.
A letter of resignation was submitted. Although Wang Zhong's resignation did not cause an uproar in the metallurgical department, it did cause quite a stir among the brother factories in Beiping.
In terms of efficiency, none of the several branches under the Steel Rolling Mill can compare with the Machinery Factory. In terms of technology, the two technologies currently used by the Steel Rolling Mill and the Machinery Factory were developed under the leadership of Wang Zhong.
Nowadays, all major state-owned factories are in a state of continuous losses, and there are very few units that can replenish their own blood like steel rolling mills.
And the one who brought this was Wang Zhong.
But now Wang Zhong has proposed his resignation and handed in his resignation letter. Even though the leaders above tried their best to block it, they still couldn't prevent the news from being exposed.
Phone calls came to Wang Zhong's home one after another, all of them urging Wang Zhong to think twice before taking action, but Wang Zhong was too lazy to go back to the machinery factory to live the life of being restricted by others.
The leaders of the steel rolling mill and the ministry visited the thatched cottage three times and took turns to persuade him, but Wang Zhong was determined to resign. No matter what they said, they could not change Wang Zhong's mind.
But now that Wang Zhong is in his current position, resigning is easy to say, but not easy to do. The work must be handed over clearly, all kinds of things must be sorted out, and the funds in the factory must be clarified. Just fine.
The leaders above couldn't defeat Wang Zhong, so they had to start the process. I don't know if it was because of their instructions or because of something else. The process was really not going very fast.
The news of Wang Zhong's resignation spread throughout the courtyard in just half a day. The neighbors in the courtyard were all surprised and could not believe the authenticity of the news. They thought someone was spreading false information to slander Wang Zhong.
But when they found Qin Jingru or asked Wang Zhong, and received affirmative answers from the two of them, each of them was dumbfounded, extremely surprised, and couldn't believe their ears.
Just when the entire courtyard was enveloped in the storm of Wang Zhong's resignation, Xu Damao, who had been silent all this time, finally began to take action.
But everyone's attention was drawn to Wang Zhong. Even Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, who had always hated Xu Damao, didn't notice Xu Damao's changes at all.
