Chapter 61: Going back

He cleared his throat and said:

"What the company commander said is indeed a bit reasonable, but if everything is spoken by numbers, then what is the party branch used for? How can the role of the company cadres be reflected? Moreover, for a long time, evaluation of merits and awards have been individually planned and collectively discussed. As for the procedures for joining the party, it is even more complicated. All of this must be followed by organizational procedures, and it cannot be completed by one quantitative management..."

I smiled and didn't say anything because I knew that when he said this, someone would inevitably echo him. Sure enough, Liang Hong, the newly elected branch committee member who was the first to speak, said:

"I led the soldiers in the squad and knew the soldiers' ideas quite well. They have always supported the decisions of the Party branch of the People's Party and have no complaints. The comrades who joined the Party and received commendations and were rated as outstanding soldiers in the past are still quite recognized by everyone. I think the previous practices have been very good and there is no need to change them."

I said to myself:

"Nonsense, I'm not a soldier. When I was in the military academy, everyone complained about the pig head's approach. No matter what the secret operation is, it is definitely difficult to adjust. In my eyes, you are still a new recruit. I don't know what wish Wei Jinyan made for you..."

However, the expression on my face still did not change. I smiled and turned my eyes to Liu Yi. I knew it was time for him to appear. Liu Yi raised his head, avoided his eyes as soon as he contacted me, and then whispered:

"I...I agree with the instructor!"

After saying that, he turned a calm face and stopped talking. I said in my heart: It turns out that Liu Yi is still shaken. It seems that it is not very pleasant to follow Wei Jinyan! In fact, his military qualities and behavior are still good. I don’t want to see him like Wei Jinyan, and be stacked together in a few months. It seems that I will find an opportunity to talk to him.

I turned my gaze to Wang Shaoming again. He still had a cold face, as if he didn't buy anyone's account. He said lightly:

"The company commander said it well, and the instructor makes sense. You can decide for yourself!"

I couldn't help but be stunned, and Wei Jinyan said with a smile:

"Okay, let's vote on the company commander's proposal. Comrades who agree to carry out this quantitative management plan, please raise their hands."

Lin Feng and I raised our hands without hesitation. Xiao Hanbing looked at Wei Jinyan hesitantly, looked at me again, and finally raised our hands.

Wei Jinyan glared at Xiao Hanbing. Xiao Hanbing avoided Wei Jinyan's gaze and looked at me. I nodded at him with a smile to show encouragement. In fact, he is a group of cadres like me, but he may have a different experience or his position is higher than him. I always feel like he is a brother in front of him.

Wei Jinyan continued:

"So, raise your hand if you don't agree!"

The people who raised their hands were Wei Jinyan, Liang Hong, and Liu Yi hesitated for a long time, but raised his hand. Only Wang Shaoming still sat half asleep and half awake. I sighed. This Liu Yi, this indecisiveness may ruin his future!

Wei Jinyan asked loudly: "Wang Shaoming, do you agree or disagree!"

Wang Shaoming said lazily:

"I abstain..."

3:3, Wei Jinyan was stunned. I stood up with a smile and said:

"Instructor Wei, since this is the case, I suggest that a military conference be held in three days to vote for a collective vote. It is military democracy! Didn't Squad Leader Liang just now say that the soldiers all liked the previous practices? Then let the soldiers decide! If this matter is related to their vital interests, everyone should be solicited."

Wei Jinyan's face changed. All fools knew that this kind of proposal for the warrior would definitely be very popular. He said loudly:

"No! This does not comply with the regulations!"

My face turned cold and slapped the table with a "bang". Everyone in the venue was shocked, especially Xiao Hanbing. He looked at us nervously. As soon as he arrived at the company to report, he saw the company commander and instructor sing a stage opera, and it seemed to be quite popular, which scared him.

Recently, I have been tolerant of Wei Jinyan’s actions, but today I was just a meeting within a small range, and I couldn’t help it anymore. I said loudly:

"Instructor of the Wedding, this is an administrative matter. Don't interfere too much. This matter is decided. Three days later, I will come up with a specific plan and make a public announcement a week later. If there are not many people opposing it, the plan will begin to be implemented!"

My tone cannot be refuted, and my eyes were staring at Wei Jinyan with a burning look. He did not dare to look at my gaze and said with a silence:

"Company Commander Lu, why don't you discuss it again? According to the regulations, an enlarged meeting of the branch committee can be held to listen to the opinions of most people."

He had already given in his tone. From the outskirts of my eyes, I saw Liu Yi shook his head slightly, as if he was very disappointed with Wei Jinyan's performance. Wang Shaoming also opened his half-closed eyes and looked at me curiously.

I stopped when I saw it was good, my tone was slightly relieved, and I said:

"It's good! Then the enlarged meeting of the branch committee will be held tomorrow, and all the squad leaders of the party members will participate. After listening to their opinions, we will vote!"

In fact, the attendees did not have the right to vote, and the final vote was still a few of us. If the situation was still today, I would implement it directly. This is an administrative management matter, not a matter of the party branch, and there is nothing to say about bypassing the party branch. However, Wang Shaoming looked half-dead, and I really don’t know if he would have any problems tomorrow.

In this way, the first branch committee of the new branch committee of the company party branch ended unhappily. After I left the company, I returned to my room, which was Sun Yuanchao's office and bedroom before. After Xiao Hanbing came to report, Liu Zhao happily directed the soldiers to help me organize the room.

After smoking a cigarette, I decided to talk to Liu Yi. I wanted to touch the details of the new deputy instructor. It seemed that he was just used by Wei Jinyan to fight against me and did not join their group because I didn't see his name on that list. Maybe Wei Jinyan made some wishes to him, including this time as deputy instructor, but I always thought that Liu Yi was still good and hoped that I could convince him without leaking the secret.

When I was determined, I opened the door and called the correspondent over, asking him to come to see me.

Two minutes later, Liu Yi shouted at my door:

"Report!"

I said, "Please come in!"

He saluted me as soon as he came in and asked:

"Company Commander, are you looking for me?"

I smiled and said, "Damn, when did you start to be polite to me? Forgot the days when we are platoon leaders together? Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit!"

Liu Yi sat down as he spoke, and I said:

"The second platoon leader... Oh, no, I am now the deputy instructor. Looking at my memory, I thought it was when we were the platoon leader! Haha, but at that time, under the leadership of Company Commander Sun, our company's work was exciting. Alas, I was incompetent! Now it's like this for a row!"

Liu Yi couldn't help but say:

"Company Commander, you actually think very carefully about the soldiers and are very serious and responsible in your work. You have a good reputation among the soldiers."

I waved my hand with a smile and said:

"Oh, I won't say it anymore, by the way, Deputy Instructor Liu, you have been in the company much longer than me. You must have a deep relationship with our company!"

Liu Yi nodded and said nothing. I smiled slightly and continued:

"Liu Yi, I think you are my brother. There is something I don't know if I say it or not..."

Liu Yi looked up and said:

"Corporate Commander, tell me!"

I nodded and said:

"In a person's military career, he will encounter some minefields, which must not be touched, otherwise the bright future will be over. You may not understand what I said now, but I can only tell you that it is very dangerous to be by Wei Jinyan, so dangerous that you can take off your military uniform. Don't misunderstand. I didn't say this to you for some boring power struggle. I'm not so despicable that I slander others behind my back. I just want to remind you that many things are not as simple as you imagine."

Liu Yi's face changed several times, and he was obviously engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. I saw it all, so I simply continued to make a fuss. I said:

"Wei Jinyan is playing with fire. It is not far from the day he burned himself. If you are still mingling with him, it will sooner or later affect your future. Putting aside all this, from the perspective of a soldier and from the perspective of a company cadres, you say with your conscience, do you think he is a qualified instructor? Do you think my proposal today is not for the soldiers?"

My voice became louder and louder, and Liu Yi's face also changed drastically. He whispered:

"Company Commander, I understand what you mean. Actually, I have been very tired these days and I am a little uncomfortable with some of the instructor's practices. But today I became a deputy instructor. To be honest, I can only be promoted because of the instructor's help. At this time, I can't do it..."

My face changed and I asked loudly:

"Then you can betray your conscience, your ideals and vows? Liu Yi, don't forget that when we joined the army, we made vows under the military banner! Today is just a trivial matter, but can you imagine the chaotic scene of the company being evaluated and awarded when the organization develops? Is this the original intention of joining the army? For money and power?"

Liu Yi's face was pale. He looked at me and said in a trembling voice:

"Company Commander, but I took the wrong step in the first step. A mistake will lead to eternal regret. It is difficult for me to turn back. The instructor's network of relationships is spread all over the division. If I offend him, I don't think about doing it anymore!"

My tone was a little bit softer, and I said:

"Liu Yi, I have always been optimistic about you. The training of our four-person group has been well done these days. I think you are a plastic material, so I remind you. I remember when I was in the military academy, our captain said something, although it is very vulgar, but it is not unreasonable. He said that the person who made the mistake is a pig, but he still does not repent when he made the mistake, and the person who made the mistake is a dead pig! I understand your worries, but I have told you before that if you continue to follow Wei Jinyan, you will definitely be implicated by him."

After saying that, I let out a long sigh and said:

"Okay, I'll say that, you can go back and think carefully! Should you be a 'pig' to repair the skeleton or continue to 'a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water', you decide for yourself!"

Liu Yi stood up and whispered:

"Yes! Thank you, company commander, then I'll leave first..."

I nodded and said nothing. Liu Yi opened the door and walked out by himself. I watched his back disappear at the door and sighed. I didn't know if he could be lost. It would be a pity if an excellent grassroots officer was implicated by that huge cancer because of a moment of confusion. I had to try my best to persuade him, and decided that he would have to go down by himself.

On the second night, everyone held an enlarged meeting of the branch committee overnight with exhaustion after training. All the squad leaders who were party members attended the meeting. After a night of preparation, the plan was improved a lot, and I confidently told my plan.

After I finished speaking, everyone spoke very positively. Many squad leaders supported my plan, especially Liu Zhao, who praised my plan. Of course, there were also voices of opposition. This is normal. Otherwise, how did Liang Hong be elected as a branch committee member? Didn’t Lin Feng say that Wei Jinyan often drank with several squad leaders when he was in office?

So everyone had their own opinions and the scene was very enthusiastic. People who supported and opposed it argued about my plan. Of course, my supporters were much more persuasive. In short, the opponents were nothing more than saying that there was no precedent and did not conform to organizational procedures.

I saw that it was almost done, stood up and said:

"Okay, we have heard everyone's opinions. Instructor of the Welfare, let me see how about our branch committees vote?"

Wei Jinyan said confidently:

"Okay! Then the attendees will withdraw! The branch committee will stay and vote!"

After all the squad leaders present withdrew, Wei Jinyan said with a smile:

"Okay, now the vote is held. Comrades who agree with the plan of Acting Company Commander Lu, please raise your hand!"

He particularly emphasized the word "dai", as if this would help you to regain the face you lost when you made a fool of me yesterday. Lin Feng and I raised our hands without hesitation, and Xiao Hanbing, without hesitation this time, and raised our hands high. Obviously, this kid has already stood in the team.

Wei Jinyan didn't care when he saw Xiao Hanbing raise his hand, but just said confidently:

"The following comrades who do not agree with the plan..."

"etc!"

Everyone looked in the voice and said that Liu Yi, who had been lowering his head just now, raised his head and said.

Wei Jinyan was stunned for a moment, obviously a little dissatisfied with Liu Yi's interruption. He asked with a calm face:

"Is there anything wrong with Deputy Instructor Liu?"

Liu Yi slowly raised his hand and said:
Chapter completed!
