Chapter 12 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
"Who are you? You've got quite the nerve. This is a police station. How did you get in?"
"Who I am, let your bureau chief explain to you."
Upon hearing the word "chief," Officer Luo's eyes instantly filled with panic. He had originally intended for Si Yan to quickly confess so he could curry favor with the chief. But if the chief found out, he would end up with nothing to show for it.
However, looking at the ordinary-looking old man in front of him, Officer Luo's imposing manner returned. Who was the chief? How could this old man just see him whenever he wanted? He was probably just trying to intimidate me.
“Our bureau chief has relatives who are officials in Taipei. I advise you to think twice before trying to be a good person.”
The top leader chuckled, clearly quite annoyed. He had just taken office, and An County was a murky place; it was time to put it to the test.
Officer Luo was displeased that the old man in front of him hadn't responded and was about to reprimand him.
Then I saw the usually aloof bureau chief running in, looking flustered.
"Governor, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Ms. Si Yan is a patriotic businesswoman, how could she be a spy?"
After saying that, he turned to Officer Luo and winked. Unexpectedly, this usually quick-witted person was standing there like a fool today.
This made Director Liu very anxious. He had no choice but to smile at the governor and then turn around and say seriously, "Captain Luo, what's going on? Who told you to arrest Director Si?"
"Release him immediately! Director Si is a patriotic businessman who has been featured in the newspapers. How can you arrest him without solid evidence?"
As he spoke, Director Liu strode up to Si Yan, bent down, and took her hand.
"Director Si, I'm so sorry. The staff here are all young people, and the training hasn't been completed yet. I don't know how we managed to invite you here. It's all a misunderstanding."
Si Yan withdrew her hand without making a sound.
"Director Liu, your officer Luo doesn't seem to think that way. He just tried to torture me. What, is this also a misunderstanding?"
"What? Lao Luo, how could you do this? You're so stupid! I think you should be suspended from your duties and reflect on your actions. We'll talk about when you come back."
Upon hearing about the suspension and self-criticism, Lao Luo felt like the sky had fallen. It was currently the time for evaluation and promotion, and if he really had to write a self-criticism for suspension, would he still have a chance to be promoted?
"Director, it's all a misunderstanding. How could I lay a hand on Director Si? We have regulations in place, like the one posted outside, that prohibits the use of violence to extract confessions. I've been strictly following the rules."
Officer Luo looked at Director Liu with a panicked expression, a drop of sweat sliding down his forehead. If the director knew what he had just said to the governor, he would be finished.
"Alright, I don't want to hear your explanations here. I'm taking Director Si with me. Director Liu, tomorrow you contact Secretary Yan and write down the whole story for me clearly."
After the senior leader finished speaking, he led Si Yan out of the police station. Tonight's events couldn't just end like this; Si Yan was a talent whose security clearance level had been raised several times.
Not to mention the foreign exchange orders her new refrigerator and electric fan designs brought to the country, the value of her diesel engines alone is immeasurable.
This is my country's first domestically developed diesel engine.
Moreover, all parts, regardless of size, are made in China.
Even his superiors asked him to take good care of him; Director Liu was really outrageous and almost made a big mistake.
Before Lu Huai could even think of a way to pull some strings, Si Yan was sent back, accompanied by several leaders.
Director Liu explained to the workers that it was all a misunderstanding, and that Factory Director Si was a patriotic businessman.
Calling her a spy is a completely unfounded accusation. Director Liu also said that the person who fabricated the evidence to frame Director Si would be investigated.
However, Director Liu was unaware that the person who forged the documents was his own niece; he even thought that his niece had been deceived as well.
He was stunned when he discovered the truth about his niece a few days later, but by then he was already in dire straits himself.
Upon hearing that Si Yan had been brought back, Lin Youyou ran out of the office before she even had time to wipe away her tears.
Si Yan was still chatting with various leaders when she was suddenly hugged.
It turned out to be Lin Youyou; those few hours today had terrified her.
She thought she was going to lose her mother again.
"Okay, Youyou, don't worry, Mommy's fine. Let's go home."
"Yes, I'm glad you're alright. The person who framed you is wicked. We must get to the bottom of this."
Seeing that Aunt Si had returned safely, Youyou's emotions had stabilized considerably. Lu Huai greeted them and then went home, as the current situation was not suitable for visiting Youyou's home.
The mood of everyone in the factory was also mixed today, but thankfully it was just a false alarm.
“Hey, I told you, Director Si isn’t that kind of person.”
"Yes, I haven't had a chance to tell everyone yet, but the new refrigerator and electric fan developed under the leadership of Factory Director Si were a huge hit at the exhibition."
"Do you know how many orders we've secured? The foreign exchange orders alone are nearly 500 million US dollars. Of course, we can't handle all of that alone; the city-level machinery factories will also have to cooperate with us."
"Really? Deputy Factory Director Yan, when will we start production?"
"Next week, people from the city will be coming. There will be arrangements then. Also, Director Si has secured a bonus for everyone, which will be paid along with this month's salary."
"That's great, Director Si is such a good person."
Damn it, she got away! Lin Xiaoyu was extremely annoyed seeing everyone so happy.
Liu Qianqian is really useless. She made such realistic evidence, yet Lin Youyou's mother still managed to escape.
No, I can't bear to see Lin Youyou have it easy. I need to think of another way.
