Chapter 158 Confrontation in the Meeting Room
The large conference room in the steel rolling mill's office building was already full of people. Directors and section chiefs of various departments and middle and senior leaders, who were not away on business, were all present.
At this moment, the entire conference room was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere, and everyone's face showed an expression of nervousness and solemnity.
Lin Beijun walked into the meeting room, ignoring the hateful and disgusted looks of some people, smiled and raised the thick documents in his hand, and said loudly:
"Leaders, this is Liu Haizhong's interrogation report, which details his crimes and the names of all the people involved. Secretary Lin, please distribute it to everyone."
Director Yang's right-hand man, Secretary Lin Xiao, stood up, walked forward, took the document and handed it to Director Yang, who began to read it.
This document was, of course, the product of careful polishing and exaggeration by Lin Beijun. Its content will only be more explosive and shocking than the facts.
As for Liu Haizhong's autograph and fingerprint on the document, of course he was forced to complete them.
After all, Liu Haizhong's wife, children, and his own life and property were in the hands of Lin Beijun. Would he dare to resist? Would he dare to say "no"?
Everyone sat together, their eyes focused on the documents placed on the conference table. These documents were now like a bomb that had exploded, causing an uproar in the factory.
This document carries the fate of Liu Haizhong and is also related to the reputation and future development of the entire steel rolling mill.
For a moment, the conference room became silent. Everyone was either frowning and reading documents quietly, or looking worried with a bitter face.
The cheating incident of judges in the year-end workers' skills assessment actually revealed a huge network of relationships.
Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were key figures in the entire incident. In just half a day, the security department was able to find more than a dozen judges from the leadership.
Among these people, the highest-ranking one was the director of the first and second production workshops, in addition to the deputy director of the workshop, the team leader and high-level workers such as Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. Not only that, people from the human resources department, logistics department, office and other departments were also involved.
The number of workers who chose to bribe or offered bribes after being threatened was as high as 36! As for those who resolutely refused to succumb to the threats, the number was even greater!
This is only what has been found so far, what about those that have not been found? What about those in the past?
As you can imagine, the actual number of people involved and the amount of money involved are absolutely terrifying numbers. Just thinking about it makes your scalp tingle.
The evidence provided by the Security Department is irrefutable, including photos, recordings, and conversation records, which make it impossible for anyone to deny and leave no room for rebuttal.
Our righteous Deputy Director Li immediately slammed the table and shouted indignantly: "What bastards, how dare they do such a fraud? These parasites and black sheep are simply the scum and cancer in our organization. They must be severely punished!"
"That's right, he must be severely punished!"
Everyone present echoed in unison. Although everyone might have their own little thoughts and calculations hidden deep in their hearts, at such a serious moment, they all showed an upright and incorruptible appearance.
Director Yang's face was terribly gloomy at this time, and his eyes were very scary. "Chief Lin, your security department did a great job this time. You have once again caught a group of scum and cancer for the factory. Just like everyone said, this assessment fraud incident must be investigated thoroughly, and all those involved must be severely punished!"
"The higher authorities have ordered that the Security Department continue to be responsible for this assessment fraud incident and carry out the investigation to the end. You can investigate the entire steel mill from top to bottom, including me as the factory director! However, there must be solid evidence. Do you understand?"
"Yes, please rest assured, Director and higher-level department leaders, our Security Department will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let any bad elements go!"
Lin Beijun quickly stood at attention and saluted, making his assurance in a serious and firm tone.
"Comrades, I just read the report from the Security Department. I saw in the interrogation record of Master Yi Zhonghai that he was forced to participate, and most of the money he received was returned to the workers privately. Is this understandable?"
"And Master Yi is one of the only two Grade 8 workers in our factory, or even the only Grade 8 worker. The other Grade 8 worker, Master Sun, is old and will retire soon. For the sake of the factory's production and future considerations, should we make discretionary decisions and give him a lighter punishment?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked over there. Some were shocked, some were gloating, and some were watching coldly.
But when they saw clearly who was speaking, there was a slight change on everyone's face.
This person turned out to be another deputy director of the factory - Deputy Director Zhao Hongjun.
Deputy Director Zhao is supposed to be in charge of the production and construction work in the factory, but he doesn't care about it. He almost divides all the power and position among Director Yang and Deputy Director Li. He is like a free-spirited person in the factory. Usually, when something happens in the factory, he will not participate unless it is necessary, let alone make a speech.
But now, the indifferent Deputy Director Zhao actually said such a thing, which was really beyond everyone's expectation.
Lin Beijun narrowed his eyes slightly. In his mind, it was a foregone conclusion that Yi Zhonghai was a problematic person, but he had not found any evidence yet.
But now, Zhao Hongjun, the idle deputy factory director, actually spoke for Yi Zhonghai, so does he also have a problem?
Is this Yi Zhonghai's backer? Or an accomplice?
Lin Beijun sneered and said with some disdain: "How can Deputy Director Zhao be so sure that Yi Zhonghai has no major problems? Do you know everything about him? Or are you the one who controls this huge network of relationships? The biggest mastermind behind it?"
The whole audience was shocked when these words came out. No one expected that Lin Beijun would be so bold and stubborn to directly say that Deputy Director Zhao was the mastermind behind this incident. Was he arrogant? Or was he crazy?
The development of the situation no longer allowed Lin Beijun to develop in a low-key manner as he had originally planned. Since things had become a big deal, he might as well make them even bigger.
What's more, it involves two old dogs, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai?
If anyone dares to hinder him from taking revenge, he doesn't mind dealing with that person as well!
Deputy Director Zhao, who had always been very calm, became no longer calm at this moment. He stood up and glared at Lin Beijun, scolding him, "Chief Lin, do you know what you are talking about? What evidence do you have that I am a participant? And the mastermind behind it?"
Lin Beijun, who had been standing, sat down with a smile. He looked at Zhao Hongjun with a playful expression and said calmly, "Oh, you are so anxious, Deputy Director Zhao, are you getting angry? I didn't say it right, did I?"
"Tsk tsk, Deputy Director Zhao, you better be careful next time. I didn't think you were in trouble, but now you suddenly stand up and speak for the bad guys. I have every reason to doubt your motives for absolving Yi Zhonghai of his guilt!"
"Huh... Chief Lin, it's right to make bold assumptions and carefully verify them, but as the deputy director of the factory, I think I should have the right and freedom to express my own thoughts, right? Besides, I'm also thinking about the factory, what's wrong with that?"
"Master Yi and I have only exchanged a few words in public, but we have no friendship at all. What benefit can I get from defending him?"
Zhao Hongjun also realized that he was impatient and said the wrong thing. He took a deep breath and returned to his usual calm demeanor.
"Haha, who knows?"
"It's true that Yi Zhonghai has made contributions to the factory, but those other people who committed fraud, such as the director of the first production workshop, have made less contribution to the factory?"
"According to you, shouldn't we release them all? Wouldn't it be better if a big thing could be reduced to a small thing? Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to be at peace and go home to have a good sleep?"
"Secretary Lin, did you write down what Deputy Director Zhao said just now? Could you please make a few copies of the meeting minutes and send them to the higher authorities, the Public Security Bureau and the Discipline Inspection Commission, and see what they say?"
Lin Xiao, who was memorizing the information, was stunned. How could he be mentioned in the conversation? But he still stood up and nodded: "Okay, Chief Lin, I'll do it later."
"Comrade Lin Beijun, are you taking this too far?"
Zhao Hongjun's face turned green when he heard this. Did Lin Beijun want to take action? He also wanted to report the meeting minutes to the higher authorities, even to the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Wouldn't he be in big trouble?
I'm sure someone will come to have tea with me soon.
"Am I exaggerating? Deputy Director Zhao, what era is this? The Qing Dynasty has long since fallen, and the Republic of China has long gone. Why are you still playing that game of offsetting merits and demerits? Merits are merits and demerits are demerits. Merits and demerits cannot be offset! Otherwise, the country will be in chaos!"
"Alright, I won't waste my time with you anymore. I can't let Yi Zhonghai go. I can't let anyone who's been captured by the Security Department go. That's what I said!"
"If you want to release him, not only can't you, Deputy Director Zhao, but even Director Yang can't help. Find the leaders of the higher-level departments to talk to me."
After Lin Beijun finished speaking, he picked up the documents in his hand, stood up and walked towards the door.
"Lin Beijun, you are so outrageous!"
Lin Beijun curled his lips and didn't bother to pay attention. Strictly speaking, the entire steel rolling mill had no right to manage their Security Department. The Security Department belonged to the Armed Forces Department, but it could manage the factory!
Therefore, only the director and deputy director of the Security Department are the real leaders of Lin Beijun, the chief of the Security Section. Although Yang Qingwei, Li Fugui, Zhao Hongjun and others are also considered leaders, they have no right to directly order Lin Beijun. At most they can ask for assistance.
