Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Chapter 264 Taking the opportunity to take revenge

When Sha Zhu heard this, he understood in his heart - someone wanted to use Li Huaide to deal with him! He glared and said, "Comrade, what you said is wrong. I have always worked hard, and my cooking skills are one of the best in the steel mill. In addition, the employees are satisfied. In the past few years, Secretary Zhang and Director Yang of the steel mill made me the canteen director in order to allow me to better serve the employees of the whole factory. What does Li Huaide have to do with it? As for other things, I really don't know."

Secretary Wang saw that he was not letting go, and his tone slightly increased: "He Yuzhu, the organization is currently investigating Li Huaide's problem. If you know anything, it's best to take the initiative to confess, and don't wait until the end to be implicated."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he sneered in his heart, "Hasn't Li Huaide been transferred? I heard that he made some mistakes. It would be irresponsible to transfer him without finding any problems. If problems are found, they should be dealt with seriously. As for me, how could I know his problems?"

Secretary Wang stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that you are very close to Qin Huairu's family?"

Sha Zhu frowned, wondering why Qin Huairu was involved again? He waved his hand: "We live in the same courtyard, but we don't interact."

Secretary Wang smiled meaningfully: "You should also know the relationship between Qin Huairu and Li Huaide, right?"

Sha Zhu now understood that the other party was indeed targeting Li Huaide. This time he softened his tone, "Comrade, there are indeed rumors about Qin Huairu and Li Huaide in the steel mill, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. I only know that Qin Huairu was transferred to the warehouse for a period of time, and then was transferred back to the workshop."

Secretary Wang heard that Sha Zhu was no longer so resistant, so he took out a notebook from the drawer, opened it, and pushed it in front of Sha Zhu: "Take a look at this."

Sha Zhu looked down and saw that it said Li Huaide abused his power to withhold materials, embezzle public funds, and even had problems with his lifestyle. He turned back to the second page of the notebook... and it was Xu Damao's name!

Sha Zhu cursed in his heart: "It's Xu Damao, that bastard!" But he remained calm, raised his head and smiled: "Xu Damao was indeed very close to Li Huaide in the past few years. He was Li Huaide's right-hand man at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. I'm not surprised that he has Li Huaide's criminal record. In fact, if you want to ask about Li Huaide, it's best to go to him."

Secretary Wang sneered, "We have already contacted Xu Damao, but he said that you are close to Li Huaide and it was Li Huaide who promoted you."

"Hahaha," Sha Zhu laughed angrily, "It's really the thief crying thief. I won't say anything. You can go to the steel mill and ask around to see who is right and listen to the voice of the masses. The instructor taught us that without investigation, we have no right to speak."

"We will investigate. Now let's talk about Li Huaide. I hope you won't hide anything from the organization for him."

"To be honest, Li Huaide is not a gentleman. He definitely had affairs with more than one woman. But I can't tell you who the woman is because I have to consider her. After all, we are from the same factory and may have to work together in the future. I can't say anything about the corruption because I don't have evidence. But he did use the power of the Revolutionary Committee to search the home of Lou Bancheng, the founder of the steel mill. Lou Bancheng was one of the most powerful capitalists in Beijing before liberation. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called Lou Bancheng. Later, Lou Bancheng ran away and everything in his house disappeared. I don't know if it was taken away by Li Huaide. Li Huaide is also a good eater. After he became the deputy director of the factory, he entertained people in the cafeteria almost every day. As for other things, I really don't know. As a Communist Party member, I can't say what I don't know, right?"

Secretary Wang asked, "This is the first time I've heard of the confiscation of Lou Bancheng's home. Why didn't Xu Damao mention it?"

"Xu Damao was Lou Bancheng's former son-in-law. He was later found to be having an affair and was divorced. When the Revolution began, he led his men to raid Lou Bancheng's house."

"He is taking this opportunity to take revenge." Secretary Wang blurted out.

Sha Zhu reminded: "Comrade, watch your words. It is right to investigate and confiscate the capitalists."

"Oh, oh, thank you." Secretary Wang smiled for the first time after seeing Sha Zhu, although it was an awkward smile.

"It's okay, comrade, you should know what kind of person Xu Damao is." Sha Zhu smiled, "In fact, he was transferred to Yi County because Li Huaide sacrificed his car to save his master."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"He and Li Huaide saw that the chef service team I led made more money, and they thought that we chefs were just small figures and should be easy to control. But they made a mistake. The benefits that were originally intended to be enjoyed by the employees were gone. How could the employees be willing? The steel mill almost stopped production, and in the end, Xu Damao, the person who executed the order, was punished."

"So, in order to retaliate against Li Huaide, Xu Damao took out the evidence of his crime. Do you and Xu Damao also have a grudge against each other?" Secretary Wang is the secretary of a big leader after all, and his mind works very quickly.

"Indeed, we are from the same courtyard and have fought each other since we were young. That boy has evil intentions and no one in the courtyard likes him."

"Okay, thank you for the information. We'll contact you if we have anything else."

This investigation gave Secretary Wang new information about Li Huaide's embezzlement of the Lou family's property. Combined with what he learned from Xu Damao last time about the carriage that might be related to Zhao Hongcheng, he reported both situations to Li Zhenhua.

After listening to Secretary Wang's report, Li Zhenhua tapped the table with his fingers, his eyes sharp as an eagle. He pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I have heard about the Lou family. The Lou family was first arrested for no reason and then someone released them. They escaped within two days. It is unlikely that the Lou family could take all the property away with them."

Secretary Wang nodded. "Yes, Chief. According to the information we have, Li Huaide was in charge of the search and seizure of the Lou family. As his in-laws, the Zhao family suddenly had several antiques of unknown origin. The timing was very delicate."

Li Zhenhua sneered, "The Zhao family is good at picking the fat meat. However, this alone is not enough, we must find solid evidence." He paused, "As for the three carriages of supplies... If it is true as Xu Damao said, the supplies did not reach Shanxi at all, but disappeared halfway, then the problem is even bigger."

Secretary Wang immediately said, "I have sent someone to the Railway Bureau to retrieve the dispatch records at the time. If we can find the whereabouts of that batch of materials, we can follow the clues to find the cause."

Li Zhenhua nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "What do you think of He Yuzhu personally?"

Secretary Wang thought for a moment and replied, "Comrade He Yuzhu is a hard worker and has a good reputation among the masses. He became the canteen director based on his solid performance - under his management, the quality of the food has improved a lot, and the workers are very satisfied. As for his relationship with Li Huaide..." He paused, "According to my observation, He Yuzhu only handles business matters with Li Huaide and is not particularly close to him."

Li Zhenhua nodded: "That's good. Some people are making random accusations to protect themselves. We can't wrongly accuse good comrades." He stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "However, since he is from the steel mill and the cafeteria, it is a place where employees exchange information. You can find out more about him, or ask him to help inquire. Talking to him well should be fruitful."
