Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

"Hey, Xiao Cao, what did you do?"

Hearing this voice, Cao Zhiqiang quickly turned around and found that it was Factory Director Li who had left and returned.

And this time, he didn't come alone. Behind him was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who was Secretary Chen who went out before.

Upon seeing this scene, Cao Zhiqiang stood up quickly: "Director Li, Secretary Chen."

Director Li waved his hand with a smile: "Sit, sit, you're welcome."

Having said this, Director Li walked to the sofa and sat down first, then asked Cao Zhiqiang to sit down.

As for Secretary Chen, he closed the door smoothly, then came to Director Li and sat down politely.

"Xiao Cao, please wait a long time." Director Li said to Cao Zhiqiang with a smile.

"No, no." Cao Zhiqiang smiled quickly, "I didn't wait long."

Director Li nodded, and then said to Cao Zhiqiang: "I just called Secretary Chen outside and explained to him, so it took a while. Don't worry, Secretary Chen is my confidant, it's okay."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled at Secretary Chen, and Secretary Chen also smiled and nodded to Cao Zhiqiang.

After Cao Zhiqiang and Secretary Chen greeted each other, Director Li said: "Secretary Chen has different opinions on Niu Shufen's issue. I think... well, let him talk to you in person."

Having said this, Director Li took out another box of cigarettes and gave one to Cao Zhiqiang first.

In response, Cao Zhiqiang did not dare to refuse, so he had to take the cigarette from Director Li with both hands.

Immediately afterwards, Director Li gave Secretary Chen another cigarette, and then he took a cigarette himself.

But then, before Cao Zhiqiang could react, Secretary Chen quickly took out a box of matches, skillfully lit a match, and then very skillfully lit a cigarette for Director Li.

After lighting a cigarette for Director Li, Secretary Chen flicked the still burning match to extinguish the flame and put it in the ashtray.

Immediately afterwards, Secretary Chen skillfully lit a match again, stood up and bent down to light Cao Zhiqiang's cigarette.

Cao Zhiqiang quickly stood up, put the cigarette in his mouth, and lit the cigarette close to Secretary Chen's match.

After lighting Cao Zhiqiang's cigarette, Secretary Chen smiled slightly and did not put out the match. Instead, he lit the remaining flame and lit his own cigarette.

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that this was actually a kind of cigarette etiquette during this period.

Lighting two cigarettes with a match is not only a matter of saving, but also a friendly gesture, proving that you are a buddy and a brother.

Of course, this kind of thing also depends on status. For example, Factory Director Li, no matter how nice he is to Secretary Chen and Cao Zhiqiang, he can't use the same match for them all.

Lighting a cigarette with a match, under the witness of Director Li, is actually the completion of a certain ceremony.

With this ceremony, from now on, Cao Zhiqiang and Secretary Chen Jiabang are close comrades in a certain sense.

This close comrade was the name of this era, and in later generations it meant brothers, indicating that the relationship went further than ordinary comrades.

"Hahaha, good, very good!" Director Li clapped his hands at this time, then leaned back and puffed away while leaning on the sofa.

"Xiao Chen, next, you should discuss your thoughts with Xiao Cao.

It’s okay, from now on everyone will be our own people. Don’t worry and say it boldly. From now on, this factory will all rely on you young people.”

Secretary Chen Jiabang smiled and nodded to Director Li, and then said: "Then I will do my best."

Director Li pressed his hand and said: "We are all our own people, don't be so polite, sit down and talk, everyone sit down!"

Chen Jiabang nodded, then nodded to Cao Zhiqiang, and then sat back gently.

After Chen Jiabang sat down, Cao Zhiqiang followed suit.

After sitting down, Chen Jiabang smiled and nodded to Cao Zhiqiang again, took another puff of cigarette, and then continued to blow out the smoke and spoke to Cao Zhiqiang.

"Cao Zhiqiang, I'm older than you, do you mind if I call you Xiao Cao?" Chen Jiabang said with a smile.

"I don't mind. I don't mind." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head quickly.

Chen Jiabang smiled: "In public, you call me Secretary Chen, and I call you Manager Cao. In private, I call you Xiao Cao, and you can just call me Lao Chen, hahaha."

Cao Zhiqiang quickly smiled and said: "Yes, Lao Chen."

Chen Jiabang smiled and nodded, then his face straightened up and he got down to business:

"Xiao Cao, Director Li has already told me about you and Niu Shufen's situation before, and also briefly explained Director Li's original thoughts.

Director Li's idea is of course a good one, but I think the original plan was too complicated.

Especially burning account books and forging evidence cannot be done by one person. As long as there are more people, the eyes will be mixed, and mistakes will inevitably be made in the process.

Although Director Li can definitely solve all the troubles, wouldn't it be better to have less troubles?

Therefore, by burning the account books and then using the wrong number in the publishing house's treasury to frame Niu Shufen, the process is too long and complicated, and it is easy for mistakes to be made, and it is not easy to convict her of the crime.

I also know something about Niu Shufen. Her family has a deep background and a lot of energy. Without irrefutable evidence, it will be difficult to bring her down.

Instead of doing this, we might as well come up with a simpler charge, a very simple but irrefutable evidence that no one can do anything about, and the kind that will make Niu Shufen never stand up!"

"Can you never stand up again?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned, "What crime?"

"Playing hooligan!" Chen Jiabang smiled slightly.

"Playing... a gangster?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned again, "How can you play this?"

Chen Jiabang smiled again, and then said seriously: "Niu Shufen's biggest weakness is actually herself.

In other words, in order to bring down a person with a background like Niu Shufen, she must first ruin her reputation, especially by making a fuss about her lifestyle.

Let everyone know that Niu Shufen is a loser and not a serious person, so that we can do more work."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "But Sister Niu, no, Niu Shufen is said to have a very strict life style. It seems difficult to discredit her in this aspect, right?"

Chen Jiabang smiled slightly: "Yes, waiting will definitely not work, but we can fake the scene."

Cao Zhiqiang was thoughtful: "You mean, find someone like Niu Shufen? And then let someone catch you in bed?"

Chen Jiabang nodded.

"What should we do specifically?" Cao Zhiqiang became interested and immediately felt no longer sleepy.

Chen Jiabang smiled: "It's very simple, there is an opportunity now."

After a pause, Chen Jiabang said: "Xiao Cao, didn't you just have a conflict with Niu Shufen? Then you came here again and found our Factory Director Li, which everyone saw.

It just so happens that I will take this opportunity to go with you and release Niu Shufen. Then you can come here together and let Director Li be the peacemaker to mediate the problem for you.

Next, Director Li will use the excuse of mediating personnel conflicts in the publishing house to invite you to have a meal together.

At this dinner, in addition to Factory Director Li and me, there are also you, Niu Shufen and President Zhou Huaien.

Because Director Li and I were present, Niu Shufen and Zhou Huaien would definitely not be suspicious.

In addition, if you soften a little at the dinner party and let them feel your sincerity, both parties will be happy."

"What?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "You've been doing it for a long time and you want me to give in to them? Are you sure?"

Chen Jiabang said with a smile: "Don't be impatient and just listen to what I have to say."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jiabang took another puff of cigarette, and then in the smoke, he squinted his eyes and said softly:

"Tonight's drinking game is actually a killing game, targeting two people, Niu Shufen and Zhou Huaien.

Because Director Li and I are here, Niu Shufen will not become suspicious. After all, everyone in the factory knows that Director Li is Niu Shufen’s backer and usually takes the best care of Niu Shufen.

As for Zhou Huaien, although Director Li doesn’t take special care of him, he’s not bad at all, otherwise he wouldn’t be transferred to your publishing house to be the president.

However, the reason why Director Li transferred Zhou Huai'en to your publishing house was because he was an honest man, so he wanted him to go over and help you silence others.

But things are different now.

Because Zhou Huaien and Niu Shufen are definitely standing together.

Otherwise, with just Niu Shufen, she can't do so many things, especially recruiting people privately, and Niu Shufen can't do it without Zhou Huaien's nod."

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang nodded quickly, "That's true. According to the rules, Niu Shufen can't just recruit people without the president or vice president nodding. If nothing else, she doesn't have that seal in the first place."

"That's enough." Chen Jiabang said calmly, "As long as we feel that Zhou Huai'en is unreliable and that the two of them should be colluding together, that's all. And our killing spree tonight is aimed at these two people."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "You mean, let these two people break the shoes?

No, can they do such a thing?

I'm not telling you that, with Niu Shufen looking like that, how can an ordinary person keep talking about it?

What's more, how old is Lao Zhou? Can he still be good at that?"

Chen Jiabang smiled and shook his head: "Who said they are really in trouble? As long as everyone thinks they are in trouble."

Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes: "You mean...ah! Got it!"

Chen Jiabang smiled: "Yes, at the banquet, we can pour wine to Niu Shufen and Zhou Huaien.

Not only that, in order to ensure the effect, I would secretly put sleeping pill powder in their drinks during the period.

Adding sleeping pills to alcohol will take effect faster and help you sleep better.

Once Niu Shufen and Zhou Huaien were drunk, we opened four rooms in the factory guest house, one for Director Li, one for you, one for Zhou Huaien, and one for Niu Shufen.

The meaning is very simple, that is, everyone is drunk, so we temporarily open a few rooms in the guest house to let everyone take a rest and sober up. Is this reasonable? "

"It's reasonable, very reasonable." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "But why are Director Li and I still here?"

Director Li chuckled and took the initiative to say: "Let's do the whole show. You and I are also drunk. Only then can we appear innocent."

"Ah..." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I understand, I understand, but why are there only four rooms? Isn't this dinner for five people?"

Chen Jiabang smiled slightly: "I am a secretary, so I must not get drunk."

"Oh, yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Chen Jiabang smiled slightly again: "After you are all drunk, I will ask the waiter to open four rooms, and ask the waiter to send the "drunk" Director Li, you, Zhou Huaien and Niu Shufen to a room respectively.

After a while, I will go to Xiao Cao's room to find you. The two of us will go to Zhou Huaien's room together, carry Zhou Huaien out, and carry him into Niu Shufen's room.

Then, we took off their clothes, slept on the same bed, covered them with quilts, and made the scene a little messier, making it look like we had done that.

Next, you go back to your room to sleep while I leave the guest house.

When it gets late, I will notify Factory Director Li's wife, Zhou Huaien's wife and Niu Shufen's lover respectively, but Xiao Cao, just forget it for now.

In short, I will call all their family members. My original intention is to let them take their loved ones home. This is also very reasonable.

Not only that, because Factory Director Li is involved, I will also arrange a car and a driver to go to the guest house with these family members.

The meaning is also very clear, that is, you are all drunk, and your employer will send a car to take you back separately, which is what you should do.

Then, we woke up Director Li and you separately, and then went to Zhou Huaien's room, only to find that no one was there.

Let’s go to Niu Shufen’s room and have a look, haha.”

"Hiss..." Cao Zhiqiang took a breath, "That's too cruel. Isn't this just catching someone in bed?"

"That's right!" Chen Jiabang nodded, "We want to catch him in bed in full view of everyone! We must let everyone see that Niu Shufen and Zhou Huai'en broke their shoes in private!

As long as everyone saw them sleeping in the same bed without clothes, it would be useless for them to argue.

When the time comes, the half-drunk Director Li will pretend to be furious and immediately call the police to arrest him.

When the police arrive, they will definitely take away these two people. If nothing happens, they will not be able to get away with the crime of gangsters.

In addition, since both of them are members of the organization, this is a serious violation of regulations and disciplines.

We can also deal with them seriously in accordance with factory regulations and party disciplines.

These two people had a style problem and were arrested by the police. Their positions must be dealt with to the end.

And because they, especially Niu Shufen, had style problems, it was difficult for Niu Shufen's family to interfere, because they couldn't interfere in this kind of thing, and anyone who interfered would be in trouble.

The next step will be easy, because Zhou Huaien and Niu Shufen have an incident, and you can take the opportunity to rectify the publishing house.

We can also use it as an excuse to deal with the problem of Niu Shufen and Zhou Huaien, and send a group of reliable accountants to take over.

At that time, it will be fine if there are no problems in the accounts. We don't need to add any extraneous issues. After all, one work style problem is enough for them. Being fired from the factory is already the lightest punishment. If it doesn't work well, they will have to go to jail.

But if there is a problem with the accounts, then we will continue to call the police and continue to do business.

In other words, we only focus on the life styles of Niu Shufen and Zhou Huaien. We will not touch your unit's accounting issues or treasury issues.

In this way, the risk is small, the profit is high, the process is simple and not complicated, and only the three of us know the truth, it will not be easy to leak."

"How could there be three people?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Don't Zhou Huaien and Niu Shufen know that they were framed?"

Chen Jiabang smiled and shook his head: "No, they were all drunk at the time, and that banquet was meant to be a banquet for you to get back together.

Since you have all reconciled under the mediation of Director Li, on the surface, neither you nor Director Li have any motive to frame them.

And even if you want to frame them, you don't have the key to their room. Theoretically, you can't open the door to their room from the outside unless they open the door themselves.

But I was different. I was a secretary and had to follow the leader. So according to the rules, I had to sit in the guest house and wait for Director Li to wake up.

Because of this, I can control the keys to all the rooms in the guest house, and I can also find a way to remove all the on-duty waiters in the guest house.

As long as I insist that neither of you left the room, then there's no problem.

So I estimate that when the time comes, Niu Shufen and Zhou Huaien may really think that they are drunk and cannot control themselves, and they think it is their own problem."

"Ah this..." Cao Zhiqiang opened his mouth wide, "Awesome, Lao Chen, you are amazing! Simple and effective, but you are killing every step of the way!"

Chen Jiabang waved his hand: "It's all a small plan, not worth mentioning. It's just a matter of taking advantage of the situation. The key is that Director Li and you must cooperate well."

"What do you think?" Factory Manager Li asked Cao Zhiqiang, "If you think it's okay, we should start sooner rather than later."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with it. It's simple and effective. That's it."

"Okay!" Director Li put out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Xiao Chen, you should go with Xiao Cao right now, bring Niu Shufen here in person, and say that I want to be a peacemaker.

You can inform the guest house later that I will have a small dinner tonight.

Oh, by the way, there is also Zhou Huaien, be sure to call him over too.

Without him, tonight’s game wouldn’t have been possible!”
