Scholars in the courtyard

In the following days, the construction of the internal audit department accelerated. According to Yang Xiaotao's instructions, each group first set up the framework and gathered people. In the follow-up work, those who are capable will stay, and those who are not capable will be sent back to their original departments.

During this period, the first group of the Quality Inspection Department was formed the fastest, and the progress of the other groups was not slow.

Among them, the second group was responsible for the chemical plant. Xu Yuanshan recommended one person, Wei Xinyu, who was once a technician in the chemical plant. He had solid skills and was a conscientious person.

Many of the people recruited were high school graduates who had just graduated and had a better understanding of chemical engineering.

The third group was responsible for the pharmaceutical factory. The person was also recommended by Bai Jingshu, Tan Yuefei, but Yang Xiaotao was not sure about her specific ability.

However, Yang Xiaotao still asked Chen Lao to help and found a few people to join.

Drug safety is more important than anything else!

The fourth group was responsible for the steel plant and the timber plant. Yang Xiaotao felt that it was not worth opening a separate working group for the timber plant, so he simply did it with one group.

The responsible team leader was Zhang Guangmu. He was not a steel plant employee recommended by Guan Zhiyong, but a classmate recommended by An Zhongsheng. The two had visited the alliance together.

He just boarded the ship of the machinery factory and realized his ambition of blowing oxygen in the converter, getting out of the predicament.

But the other party was just like himself before, muddled in the local small steel factory, until he heard that Yang Xiaotao was looking for someone, An Zhongsheng recommended him.

The other party got the news and soon came to the machinery factory to report.

Yang Xiaotao personally met and talked for an afternoon. He was very satisfied with this person Yang Xiaotao. He was not bad in ability and was down-to-earth in doing things. Especially the other party's execution was very determined.

Otherwise, he would not have stayed in the local area willingly for more than ten years.

As the people came in one after another, Yang Xiaotao also began to think about students.

At this time, after the college entrance examination of this year was delayed, many students' enthusiasm for participating in the high school entrance examination faded.

Some students even shouted that it was better to have a good background than to study well.

Many students are even more afraid of being assigned to the countryside. Those whose families have the conditions will be arranged to join the army, and the rest can only accept their fate.

In this situation, Yang Xiaotao gathered the junior high school students who graduated from Yangjiazhuang Primary School in the past two years. After asking them, he determined the students who wanted to continue waiting for the college entrance examination, and then encouraged the rest to enter the machinery factory.

In the past few years, a total of 135 junior high school students have graduated from Yangjiazhuang, many of whom have entered the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Excluding those who are preparing to apply for high school, there are less than 50 people left.

And some of these 50 people also have lucky hopes. After all, as intellectuals, their horizons are broader than their parents who can only farm, and they have their own ideas.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao did not force it. They are all adults and have the right to make their own choices.

Of course, they must also bear the consequences of their choices.

In the end, only 31 people chose to follow Yang Xiaotao into the machinery factory and become a worker.

In addition, Yang Xiaotao also found 19 people from the school, all of whom were students with good grades.

Although grades do not represent character, as an important criterion at the moment, Yang Xiaotao still attaches great importance to it.

The job of a student is to study. If someone can't do this job well, can he do other jobs?

There are only seven or eight people in each group out of fifty students. There will be a lot of clerical work in the future, so this number of people is not enough.

However, it should be enough to set up the framework in the initial stage, and we can recruit more people later.

June 16, 1966, the 28th day of the fourth lunar month, the weather was clear.

Sijiucheng, Red Star Machinery Factory.

Above the large conference room, a long banner appeared on the top layer, with the words "Red Star Machinery Factory Internal Audit Agency Establishment Conference".

Under the banner, Mr. Chen sat in the middle, and beside him were Mr. Huang and Mr. Wang who received the invitation, and Mr. Xia and his group.

Their presence made everyone present feel the attention of their superiors, and also made everyone present very energetic.

Below, in the front row sat all the factory directors and deputy factory directors of the Red Star Machinery Factory except the second branch.

In addition to Wang Guodong and Chen Gong, the first row also includes Xu Yuanshan from the chemical plant, Sun Guo from the first branch, Ding Xiangjun from the machine repair plant, Bai Jingshu from the pharmaceutical plant, Guan Zhiyong from the steel plant, and Zhou Shenghong from the timber plant.

Behind them are the capable personnel from various factories and branches.

They have to come this time. If they violate the precautions mentioned above again, they will be guilty of knowingly committing the crime.

In addition, they also want to meet the internal auditors.

Before the meeting started, everyone's eyes looked at the seats opened up on the right from time to time.

There, there was a group of people wearing black work clothes, sitting upright at this time, feeling the silence of the venue!

The main work clothes of the machinery factory are sky blue, which is similar to the workers' clothes in the whole environment.

The difference between the work clothes of each branch factory is only the different labels, and the red silk thread will be used below to indicate the factory to which they belong.

But in this crowd, everyone is wearing specially customized black work clothes, which looks different.

Sitting in front of them are Yang Xiaotao and Liang Zuoxin.

With these two leading the way, no one dared to underestimate them!

There were two women and one man around them. Many people knew the man, Shen Rong.

The woman was unfamiliar, but she looked very difficult to deal with.

There were men and women, middle-aged people, and many young faces behind them.

These students who had just stepped out of the ivory tower had confident sunshine on their faces, and they were full of energy in their hearts.

Seeing these people, Xu Yuanshan and others looked particularly solemn.

Some people were looking forward to this, thinking that the machinery factory had fresh blood, and the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

There are also people who criticize them, thinking that ignorant boys have no qualifications to review them, and it will only affect the revolutionary construction.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

But in front of the leadership of the machinery factory and Yang Xiaotao, there was no thought of resistance at all.

Although Yang Xiaotao is young, he is gaining more and more power, his methods are even more powerful, and he has unparalleled prestige in the machinery factory.

To put it bluntly, no one dared to prick his face.

After the meeting started, Yang Youning presided over the meeting and welcomed Mr. Chen and others on behalf of the machinery factory.

The purpose of the meeting is then explained.

The people below listened carefully, with uncertain expressions. The knife of the Internal Audit Department has been forged, and it will be up to who will be the whetstone to unseal the knife.

After Yang Youning finished speaking, he directly handed the microphone to Mr. Chen.

Ahem

"I came here with a heavy and excited heart."

"Everyone knows that there were people in the past who faked seals and enriched their own pockets; there were people in the future who cheated and speculated."

"Are there any other scandalous things involved?"

"I hope there won't be, but I can't guarantee there won't be."

"So, we need to have a department to resolutely prevent this kind of thing from happening and protect people's property safety."

"And this department is the internal audit department of Hongxing Machinery Factory!"

"I hope that the comrades of the Internal Audit Department can shoulder the mission entrusted to you by the people, workers, superiors and revolutionary comrades, and escort the construction of the revolution!"

"Dare to fight, dare to fight, dare to fight the saboteurs to the end..."

"Don't live up to your superiors' expectations of you!"

bang bang bang

Applause broke out, especially among the black crowd, the applause was the most enthusiastic.

When the applause stopped, Yang Youning came to the speaking stage again, "Now, I would like to invite Comrade Yang Xiaotao to give a speech on behalf of the Internal Audit Department of Hongxing Machinery Factory!"

bang bang bang bang

The deafening applause sounded again.

On the rostrum, Mr. Chen and Mr. Huang clapped their hands and said, "Xiao Yang reminded me this time that our laws and regulations, especially those regarding production safety, still have a lot to improve."

"You, the Machinery Department, must prepare in advance, discover problems, and rectify them in time!"

Mr. Huang nodded, "Don't worry, we will follow up at any time!"

Mr. Chen nodded, turned his head and warned Mr. Wang beside him, and Mr. Wang also agreed.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao came to the speaking stage wearing a black overalls and three badges on his chest.

He first saluted to the rostrum, then turned back and glanced at the people in the audience.

"Comrades from Hongxing Machinery Factory, good morning!"

"Standing here, I look at everyone present. There are many familiar faces, including my elders, my friends, and even my comrades!"

"They will also ask me what the internal audit department does!"

"Some people say they are investigating their own people!"

"Some people say they are specifically looking for trouble!"

"Some people even say it's just to show off!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the venue was completely silent, and some people even lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.

"Then I will tell you today what the Internal Audit Department does!"

"The Internal Audit Department is what you say and what you think. It is a department that investigates its own people, makes trouble for you, and causes trouble for you all!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, many people found it incredible, but more people were shocked.

Such a straightforward determination, said so without any care.

This further illustrates the determination of the Internal Audit Department and Yang Xiaotao’s determination.

In the seats next to them, when Shen Rong and others heard what Yang Xiaotao said, their originally restless hearts became calmer and their faces became firmer.

Those young people who have just stepped into the factory feel more at ease and motivated when they hear Yang Xiaotao say this!

What they do is to offend people.

If these are comments made by others behind their backs, especially if they are labeled privately, they will feel uncomfortable even if they have their own insistence.

But now, with Yang Xiaotao speaking openly and honestly, what psychological burden do they still have?

What others talk about behind their backs is their work.

The more people talk about it, the better their results will be.

What do they feel guilty about?

Yang Xiaotao paused for a moment and spoke again.

“But I hope even more that the internal audit department is everyone’s partner and the internal auditors are everyone’s revolutionary comrades!”

"Because its existence allows you, me, and all the people here who are revolutionary-minded and like-minded to build the revolution to unite."

"Let us better fight against any evil elements who attempt to undermine the construction of the revolution!"

"Give us one more way to defend the fruits of the revolution!"

"Only those with evil intentions will be afraid of the Internal Audit Department, and only those who intend to break laws and disciplines will be hostile to the Internal Audit Department!"

"Love those who abide by the law and fear those who want to break the law."

"This is the Internal Audit Department!"

Yang Xiaotao's sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the venue.

At this moment, the people in the Internal Audit Department had bright eyes and were full of excitement!

At this moment, those who had grudges felt guilty!

At this moment, those people who are used to being idle and working hard feel tense all over!

bang bang

bang bang bang bang

As the applause rang out, Yang Xiaotao thanked him again and then strode to his seat.

Facing the eyes of everyone in the Internal Audit Department, Yang Xiaotao's face became even calmer.

"Next, all the staff of the Internal Audit Department of Red Star Machinery Factory, please stand up, face the national flag, and read the oath!"

"Please welcome Comrade Yang Xiaotao, as the leader of the oath!"

As Yang Youning's voice fell, Yang Xiaotao stood up first, and the people behind him stood up and stood at attention.

Then, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward three steps and looked at the crowd from the side, "Please raise your right hand!"

After saying that, he raised his right fist with the palm facing forward.

Everyone immediately raised their heads and chests and raised their right hands.

"Under the gaze of the people, under the solemn red flag, I swear!"

"Under the gaze of the people, under the solemn red flag, I swear!"

"Resolutely perform my duties, be fair and just, and stick to my heart..."

"Resolutely..."

...

"The oath is over..."

As Yang Xiaotao finished, everyone sat down again.

Then, Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked to the rostrum, and then he read out his acceptance of fate in public.

This step was completed, and it was considered the end.
