Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 134 The Family Secret of the Beautiful Taiwan Flower

"Uh, it's like this... The factory has allocated a dormitory to me this morning."

Lan Qimei observed Xu Jichang's expression, and said hesitantly, "But I still want...I still want to live with you."

"I don't know... would you like it?"

That's what I wanted to say.

"Want to stay? Then you have to live in the ear room."

Xu Jichang told the truth.

The three houses next to it are already full, and it will take some time to expand the yard next time.

And the co-living between Lan Qimei and Shen Danrui was just an expedient measure, because Shen's mother and Shen Qingrui would come to visit from time to time, and it would be inconvenient for Shen Danrui to have one more person in the room.

So after much deliberation, if Lan Qimei wanted to stay, the only choice was to live in the penthouse.

"It's fine if you can stay, I'm willing to live anywhere."

Lan Qimei blushed when she said this, "I just want to stay by your side..."

"Sit down, stop standing."

Xu Jichang took Lan Qimei's hand, and squeezed her flushed cheek when she sat down.

Lan Qimei lowered her eyes shyly, with the attitude of a docile little daughter-in-law.

Xu Jichang looked at Lan Qimei for a while, turned his head and fell into deep thought, and asked a question after a while: "You have worked in the cafeteria for a few days, have you heard any rumors about it?"

Director Gao asked him to attack the security department of the logistics department. Of course, he had to get a reliable information source to understand the situation inside first.

"Rumor? What are you referring to...?"

Lan Qimei asked, blinking her watery eyes.

"Talk about the security section of your logistics department. What do they usually do?"

"Security department, let me think about it..."

"I feel that they don't actually do much work... I heard that there are many related households."

"Also, keep talking."

Xu Jichang looked at Lan Qimei and said.

The two things that Lan Qimei reported just now did not exceed his expectations.

Because the security department of the logistics department should not have existed in the first place, such a department with a bad name is basically a mess.

"Jichang, you really want to..."

Lan Qimei understood that Xu Jichang would definitely not ask these questions for no reason, so curiosity appeared in her eyes.

Xu Jichang picked up the teacup, drank some tea to moisturize his throat, put down the teacup, closed his eyes, and leaned back on the chair: "Of course I won't ask you for no reason. But don't worry, I definitely didn't ask you these things to harm you."

Lan Qimei hurriedly waved her hands, and eagerly explained to Xu Jichang: "I... I didn't mean that, I was taken in by you to get to where I am today, how could I doubt your intentions..."

"Ha, I know, you go on."

"Hmm... I heard the temporary worker who washed the vegetables in the cafeteria talk about it two days ago, saying that the security department of the department had suppressed a matter."

"What's the matter?"

Xu Jichang frowned slightly.

"Uh, it's a woman who was the chef in front of me. The person who washed the vegetables said her surname was Yu, and she was kicked out because her son stole things. It is said that someone in the cafeteria discovered that the amount of supplies was wrong before, and reported to the department The chief of the Security Section reported the situation."

"As a result, the section chief not only did not investigate, but suppressed the matter... Later, the person who reported the problem was also transferred away."

"What's that person's name, and where was he transferred?"

"I'm not sure about that. The person who washed the vegetables just talked with others in a low voice for a while, and didn't mention the name of the person in the whole process..."

Lan Qimei said honestly.

Xu Jichang listened and thought while she was talking, and finally decided that it should be true.

Yu Xianglian's son has been stealing supplies for several years. No matter how well she hides it, it is normal for someone to find out.

As for why the leader of the security department of the logistics department wanted to hide it for her?
Xu Jichang reckoned that it was because the case lasted too long and involved a high value, and the other party was worried about being charged with negligence, so he chose to cover it up.

For Xu Jichang, this is naturally the best starting point to clean up the opponent.He can seize this golden opportunity and launch an operation in a legitimate manner to complete the task of abolishing the Security Section of the Logistics Department and taking back the authority to recruit personnel.

Thinking of this, Xu Jichang raised his head and looked at Lan Qimei who was staring at him eagerly.

"Okay, I understand what you said, don't mention our conversation today to anyone."

"Let's move your luggage and quilts to the ear room together."

Lan Qimei nodded: "Well, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."

After speaking, she followed Xu Jichang and moved all her belongings into the ear room.

Lan Qimei didn't have anything when she came here, and she only bought some essential daily necessities in the past few days, so there were very few things that needed to be moved.

After a while, Xu Jichang finished moving with her.

"You can't have no light at night, and install an electric light in the side room later."

In the ear room, Xu Jichang said to Lan Qimei.

Lan Qimei hurriedly waved her hands, with a sincere and fearful expression: "No, no, I can't let you continue to spend money on me."

"I'll just light an oil lamp."

Xu Jichang shook his head and took her hand: "I originally wanted to install electric lights here."

Lan Qimei could only nod her head, and put her little hand softly in Xu Jichang's big one, feeling warm in her heart, feeling happy because of his care.

After moving house for Lan Qimei, Zhu Wei, Du Xiaojing, and Shen Danrui also came back one after another.

Xu Jichang told Lan Qimei that she would be staying here, and the three girls all showed happy expressions and welcomed her.

In the past few days, everyone has tasted Lan Qimei's craftsmanship and learned about her background, and they are all willing to provide her with a shelter from the wind.

Lan Qimei felt their sincere welcome, and thinking about Xu Jichang's kindness to her all the time, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes, and at night she made another supper for everyone.

Zhu Wei, Du Xiaojing, Shen Danrui and Lan Qimei ate noodles by themselves, while Xu Jichang asked her to make egg fried rice for himself.

Lan Qimei once again conquered everyone's taste buds with her excellent cooking skills, and everyone in the room ate with gusto.

After supper, everyone had another conversation, and finally the girls went back to sleep one after another.

When Zhu Chen left, only Xu Jichang and Shen Danrui were left in the empty room.

At this time, Shen Danrui reached out his hand actively, held Xu Jichang's hand on the table, and said in a caring tone: "If you have anything to think about tomorrow, let's rest today."

Xu Jichang shook his head: "Sleep after thinking about it."

Until now, he is still thinking about what he should do so that he can take down the security department of the logistics department at the least cost and complete the task assigned by director Gao.

As for Shen Danrui seeing that he was thinking about something, Xu Jichang was not surprised at all, because Shen Danrui has a mature personality and can sense other people's emotions and movements in a timely manner.

"Then... is it convenient to tell me, I will think with you."

Shen Danrui continued to put warm hands on the back of Xu Jichang's, and said softly.

Xu Jichang then told her the situation, and finally said what he was thinking about,

"I have two choices. One is to find the vegetable washer, peel it off layer by layer, and finally grasp the complete chain of evidence to take down the chief of the security department of the logistics department."

"The second is to cut through the mess quickly and directly raid the chief of the security department of the logistics department and ask him to explain the facts."

"There are pros and cons to both approaches, and I'm currently weighing them."

Shen Danrui nodded after listening, and looked at the table with a pair of beautiful eyes. After a moment of silence, she spoke:
"I think option two is more appropriate."

"You are acting under the orders of the factory manager, just like holding a Shangfang sword in ancient times. As long as you cut down, no one will dare to resist."

"What's more, plan one seems safe, but it has the most fatal flaw, that is, it will involve many people, and it is easy to leak information."

"When there are more people in the unit who know about it, the situation may not be under your control. At that time, your every move when dealing with this matter will be watched by many people. You will lose a lot of initiative because of this."

"Soldiers are precious and fast. I think the ancients have a reason to say this."

Shen Danrui is... quite strategic.

Xu Jichang listened carefully the whole time, and finally thought to himself.

"You're right."

He withdrew his hand, and gently pinched her hand in turn, saying, "I also want to firmly hold the initiative in my own hands, and at the same time keep things quiet."

"Just follow plan two."

"Um……"

Shen Danrui nodded and said, looking at Xu Jichang with affection and expectation.

Since she had identified Xu Jichang, she wanted to see him achieve something from the bottom of her heart.

To this end, Shen Danrui is willing to dedicate all her wisdom, time and energy.

……

After making up his mind, Xu Jichang launched a surprise attack on the chief of the security department of the logistics department the next day. After work at noon, he came to the bicycle shed where the opponent usually parks his bicycles.

As soon as he came to the side of the carport, Xu Jichang saw the figure of the target, so he walked in quickly: "Chief Zheng, are you going home for dinner?"

Deep in the parking shed, Zheng Xin, Chief of the Security Section of the Logistics Department, was unlocking the car when he heard Xu Jichang's voice and raised his head: "Yes, Chief Xu, you have to go home for dinner."

When Xu Ji often went to the cafeteria to handle cases, the two had known each other, and they could recognize each other's faces.

"Oh, I'm not in a hurry to go home for dinner, I have to do something for the factory."

Xu Jichang patted Zheng Xin on the shoulder, said with a half-smile, and fixed his gaze on him.

Xu Jichang looked at Zheng Xin with trepidation in his heart, and realized that he might be in trouble, so he stopped picking the lock in his hand.

"Hehe, Section Chief Xu, you have worked hard, and you have to do things in time for dinner..."

Zheng Xin straightened up, knowing that he couldn't escape, so he rubbed his sore waist from bending just now, and said with a dry smile, "Would it be convenient for you to tell me, what are you...doing for the factory?"

"What else can it be? It's about the security department of your logistics department."

When Xu Jichang said this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, "You still remember the last time when Yu Xianglian's son stole something."

"Remember, remember, how could I forget."

When Zheng Xin said this, he pretended to be heartbroken and said, "At that time, I did a self-examination in my heart for a long time, reflecting on why I didn't discover this in time, and nip the problem in the bud."

Xu Jichang looked at him coldly: "Is this really the case? I'm afraid you discovered it, but you haven't dealt with it for a long time."

"Section Chief Xu, you...why did you say that..."

Zheng Xin's cheeks were trembling, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead in the cold weather.

Xu Jichang didn't look at him, his eyes moved to the blue sky in the distance: "Yu Xianglian has already said everything."

"Her son stole things, and you accidentally discovered it."

"In order to cover up the matter, she gave you 100 yuan, and you accepted the money and kept silent about the matter."

"I heard all this from her mouth with my own ears."

"Originally, I planned to give you a chance, and waited for you to take the initiative to explain. Unexpectedly, you have not moved for a long time, so I had no choice but to come to you."

"Slander, this is purely the slander of the cadres by the family members of the thieves!"

Zheng Xin was in panic at first, but he became very excited when he said this, but he lowered his voice because he was worried that there would be people coming to pick up the car, "I never took a penny from her from the beginning to the end!"

"Mr. Xu, you can't just listen to one side and believe it!"

Xu Jichang glanced at the crowd who were picking up their cars in twos and threes in the distance, and didn't answer his words immediately: "Let's talk somewhere else."

After speaking, he walked out of the parking shed.

Zheng Xin hurriedly followed, and after walking a few steps, he realized that the bicycle lock was half unlocked, so he hurriedly turned his head to re-attach the lock, and trotted up.

Xu Jichang didn't look back at him, and when he came to a secluded place in the factory, he said lightly: "I heard what you just said."

"To put it bluntly, you also admit that you discovered Yu Xianglian's son's theft beforehand?"

Zheng Xin broke out in cold sweat again.

That's right, he was a little flustered by Xu Jichang's deceit just now, he only cared about denying that he had taken money from Yu Xianglian, but forgot to refute his prior knowledge of the theft.

I have followed Xu Jichang's way.

Zheng Xin groaned secretly, thinking that the young man in front of him who was more than 20 years younger than himself should not be underestimated.

"Speak, don't pretend to be dead."

Just when Zheng Xin was at a loss, Xu Jichang finally looked at him, "It's your last chance to talk to you today."

"You know what to do."

"I...I confess that someone has indeed reported the theft of the cafeteria to me."

"I received a report, and I went to check it out first, and found that the amount of stolen materials was relatively large, and it lasted for a long time."

"I also understand some things that happened to the leadership of the factory, and I am very worried... I am worried that I will be removed from the factory on the grounds of negligence..."

"So I just... kept it a secret."

Zheng Xin faltered and murmured, and was too guilty to look at Xu Jichang the whole time, and felt very frustrated at the same time.

Sure enough.

After hearing Zheng Xin's explanation, Xu Jichang felt that the other party was ridiculous.

Originally, he was just an oversight at most, but after experiencing the suffocation operation of covering the lid, it suddenly escalated into a deliberate concealment.

Of course, Xu Jichang was happy to see this matter, without this matter, he would have to find another reason to deal with Zheng Xin.

"That's it?"

Xu Jichang sneered.

"I, I did make a mistake. I ask the factory to punish me, demote me, or dismiss me..."

Zheng Xin closed his eyes and said in a distraught voice, his voice became stammered.

Xu Jichang remained silent, not commenting on his statement.

Zheng Xin panicked even more: he is not afraid of Xu Jichang criticizing and reprimanding himself now, but he is afraid that Xu Jichang will not speak.

Because this is likely to mean more serious consequences.

"Section Chief Xu, could it be... Will I be fired?"

After being anxious for a long time, he finally couldn't help asking, he was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Xu Jichang looked at his appearance and thought that he was really a coward, so his expression became more serious: "If you can't actively behave, then the final result can only be dismissed."

Zheng Xin was so frightened that his legs gave way and almost fell down: Xu Jichang came to look for him on behalf of the factory today.If the factory is really likely to fire him as mentioned just now, then he is really at the end of his life.

"I will definitely behave positively, definitely. Please tell me, Section Chief Xu, what I should do."

Zheng Xin asked hurriedly.

Xu Jichang shook his head: "If you can't even think of how to behave positively, it only shows that you are not sincerely repentant."

After Xu Jichang finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Zheng Xin looking at his back helplessly.

His goal this time is to disband the Security Section of the Logistics Department and divert and incorporate personnel.

And this is a very offensive job, because any department of a public unit is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, full of various related households, especially the security department of the logistics department.

So Xu Jichang wanted Zheng Xin to write a letter on his own initiative, proposing to disband the department, instead of letting him say such hateful words.

……

At noon, Zheng Xin returned home in despair, and sighed in front of his young wife.

"What's the matter with you? You have been sighing and sighing since you came home. Is it because you are unlucky and lost a lot in playing cards?"

Zheng Xin's wife, Li Wanru, was rubbing cream on her face, ready to go out to play mahjong, and asked without looking at him.

"If it's just a few dollars lost, that's fine."

Zheng Xin said weakly, "I've got something to do now, and the factory may find me in trouble."

"Trouble with you?"

Li Wanru put down the cream in her hand, opened her eyes wide and said, "Who tricked you?"

"I don't know. I suspect that Director Gao wanted to touch my hand. Because this time it was his student Xu Jichang who came to talk to me."

Zheng Xin sighed and said, more cold sweat broke out from his already weak body, "It is estimated that no matter what the result is, I will definitely lose my job..."

Li Wanru was speechless for a moment.

She is the head of the factory's radio station, not only beautiful but also has a sweet voice, and she is first-class in terms of professional ability.

But relying on her husband who is the head of the real department, she often arrives late and leaves early, skips work and misses work, and no one dares to say anything.

Now that Zheng Xin said that she would be dismissed as section chief, Li Wanru's first reaction was to worry that her free time would never come back.

This was an unacceptable consequence for her.

"Then shall we try Xu Jichang's side, in case he is willing to untangle it?"

Li Wanru asked with a hint of luck.

After hearing this, Zheng Xin put his hands on his forehead and let out a long sigh: "Oh... let's try, but don't hold out too much hope."

"Okay, then I'll go to his house and ask."

Li Wanru volunteered.

Zheng Xin looked at Li Wanru with surprise: Ever since he married such a young and beautiful wife, he has always been very wary, for fear that she would cause some gossip.

Usually, her social scope is limited to playing mahjong with the leading wives in the same factory, and she rarely interacts with other men.

Now she took the initiative to ask to see Xu Jichang, which somewhat made Zheng Xin feel uneasy.

Li Wanru saw Zheng Xin's worry, but in order to maintain the leisure life in the past, she can't care about anything now.

"Why, do you think I was inappropriate in the past?"

Li Wanru pretended to be displeased and said, "But you have to think about it, what time is it now?"

"You go to Xu Jichang now, do you think he will meet you?"

Zheng Xinjing was even more upset when she said this.

Forget it, let her try it.

Even if Xu Jichang can't do it for you, at least you have to get some hints from him, let him tell you what to do.

"You go, No. 200 Renmin West Road, this is the address of his home that I accidentally saw last time."

Zheng Xin waved his hand impatiently and said, "Remember to buy some good things."

"It's up to you to say."

Li Wanru said angrily, thinking that this guy's temper is really good.

Zheng Xin lowered his head without saying a word, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.Wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Don't look at him as a section chief, but usually he can't hold his head up in front of Li Wanru.As for the reason, it is their family secret.
