While Gong Lao reflected upward through the channel of the supply and marketing cooperative, Yang Liufang was not idle, he called the leaders of the Xizhou City Safety Supervision Bureau. Because a deputy director of the Northwest Provincial Safety Supervision Bureau was also implicated in this matter, endangering the future, the leaders of the Safety Supervision Bureau listened to Yang Liufang's description of the purchase route of the valve and the manufacturer, and naturally wanted to maintain the reputation of the Safety Supervision Bureau. He suggested that Yang Liufang write a letter to the supervision departments of the Ministry of Energy and the China National Nuclear Corporation (abolished in 1988 and established the Ministry of Energy and the Nuclear Industry Corporation respectively), attaching detailed materials as evidence for the investigation. Yang Liufang wrote letters to the supervision departments of the state's two strategic units, in which he stated the facts. Yang Liufang was worried that his education level was limited and that there were loopholes in the letter he wrote, so he also consulted two retired teachers from Xizhou who recommended him to read management books. They personally helped Yang Liufang revise it to ensure the rigor and authenticity of the content of the letter.

After asking the palace elders, Yang Liufang sent two letters in the name of Xizhou Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Half a month later, at the request of the founding leaders of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the Ministry of Energy of the People's Republic of China, and the supervision department of the China National Nuclear Corporation, an investigation team for the boiler explosion accident of the Xizhou Iron and Steel Plant organized by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee quietly stationed in Northwest Province.

After the closure of furniture factories and supply and marketing cooperatives, Yang Liufang had a lot less to do, and when he was bored, he began to read some philosophical books, and he liked the vivid description of the "butterfly effect" by Edward Lorenz, a meteorologist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: "A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with a few occasional flaps of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later." And this butterfly effect, two weeks after Yang Liufang's letter was sent, has begun to appear in Xizhou, the capital of Northwest Province.

April 13 was a weekend, and when he was about to get off work, Yang Liufang received a phone call. The other party reported to his home, saying that he was Director Xin of the TV station office, and he was entrusted by their director to ask Yang Liufang to have a meal together. Yang Liufang hated them for privately reporting on the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperatives when they were 315, so he angrily asked Director Xin on the phone: "Invite me to dinner now, why didn't anyone invite me to dinner when you fabricated that we were selling fake products in 315?" ”

"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, it's because we're not rigorous. To tell you the truth, everyone makes mistakes in their work, and we would like to explain this to you in person. Let's work together in Xizhou, turn hostility into friendship, and don't we still need to report your advanced deeds in the future! "This office director is so clever that you can't get angry.

"Director Xin, it's not aimed at you, at least you can breathe in advance, let's explain, won't the misunderstanding be avoided! This time, everyone was embarrassed, I took it, and no one saw it. Yang Liufang was ruthless, and Director Xin's tactfulness could not hide the anger in his heart.

"Let's meet, our director wants to make you a friend. He was very angry about the accident and had to transfer the relevant reporters. ”

"Director Xin, have you been there? I think you are quite reasonable, if we can communicate more. Yang Liufang couldn't refuse, so he simply sold his favor and asked Director Xin to join him. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and Yang Liufang guessed that the director was next to Director Xin, and he was asking for instructions.

"I'll go, I'll go, I'm sorry, someone just came to reimburse, I signed it." Director Xin's side found the reason impeccable.

So everyone made an appointment on the phone, and at 6:00 on Saturday night, in the VIP room of Wolongshan Hotel, the director of Xizhou TV Station hosted a banquet for Yang Liufang.

Yang Liufang of Wolongshan Hotel is more familiar, their Simmons and office furniture there are provided by Yang Liufang's furniture factory, and if it is not for this accident, the conference table and sofa procurement in the hotel will not be left behind.

On Saturday afternoon, Yang Liufang asked Zhang Feng to drive and rushed to the Wolongshan Hotel. As soon as they arrived, the hotel's service staff was already there to greet them. As soon as they entered the hall, Director Xin greeted them first and introduced them to each other, and Yang Liufang knew that the TV station director's surname was Wang, and he symbolically shook hands with the TV station director.

"Hey, Mr. Yang's name has long been heard, it's better to see it than to hear it, and today I really saw a real person. Young and handsome. "He is worthy of being the director of the TV station, and he speaks like a lark. Thousands of clothes are worn, sycophants are not worn, and Yang Liufang is no exception, hearing the praise, his anger is reduced by half.

"Director Wang is also the mainstay of Xizhou, and he has established a lot of positive images for us, and he should have visited a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet in this way." Yang Liufang is neither humble nor arrogant, both polite and thorny in his words.

But the Chinese habit, since they shake hands, even if they make peace, the gunpowder gas has been reduced by more than half. The two walked towards the VIP lounge under the guidance of the waiter. Director Xin took Zhang Feng to other restaurants, and told the waiter to let Zhang Feng order whatever he liked, and he came over to settle the bill and make arrangements before leaving. Zhang Feng is not polite over there, when he was in the army before, he sent the leaders to a meeting and came here, all of them were working meals, this time he let himself order casually, he ordered four dishes by himself, and he was not afraid of shabby if he didn't finish eating, so he asked the waiter to make a bag, he wanted to take it back and let the newlywed wife Xinye also taste the dishes of the State Guesthouse.

Yang Liufang and Director Wang of the TV station walked into the private room of the VIP hall. As soon as they entered, they saw a person laughing and coming to greet them, and Yang Liufang saw that it was Director Li, whom he had not met for a long time.

"Director Li! Oops, I've found you. Where have you been these days? We're all going crazy! Yang Liufang stepped forward, held Director Li's hand, and said eagerly.

"I didn't go anywhere, I just lived here, I ate and drank, but I wasn't free."

"Now that I'm relieved, I'll be able to go home soon." Wang Taichang interjected.

"Huh? Wang Tai, how do you know? ”

"Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet."

"What do you mean?"

"These media reporters are all dognoses. I said, the results of your investigation are about to be announced! ”

"Ahh It's true? Good news or bad news? ”

"Silly boy, of course it's good news, if it's bad news I'll be able to eat with you here!" Director Li said with emotion.

At this time, the dishes had been served, and the table was full, most of which Yang Liufang had never seen, and even the presentation was very exquisite. There are also two bottles of Moutai in the middle of the table, for this high-end liquor, Yang Liufang has only heard of it, everyone says that this is the best wine in China, and he has seen it for the first time today.

They chatted while eating, and through Wang Tai, a well-informed person, Yang Liufang knew that after the central investigation team was stationed in Xizhou, the people who used to want to turn big things into small things and small things could no longer hide it, and they lost their cars to protect the handsome. First of all, the warehouse of the steel plant was sealed, and in the sealed warehouse, the members of the investigation team, with the help of the police, found ten temperature control valves and pressure reducing valves from the supply and marketing cooperatives, each of which was not used, and even the packaging boxes were not opened, but there were dozens of sets of valves in and out of the warehouse. So the criminal police who assisted in the case immediately arrested the steel plant warehouse keeper, who was scared to pee his pants. He supplied that the purchasing department often had valves in storage, and the maintenance department often asked them to send out the newly purchased valves in the purchasing department, and the valves purchased from the supply and marketing cooperatives were only used for superior inspections.

According to the confession of the warehouse manager, the police arrested a total of three people in the management of the maintenance department, and the two maintenance workers on duty that day, one was injured and disabled for life, and the other was integrated into the blast furnace fireball that exploded on the spot and disappeared. The head of the purchasing section was a relative of a certain factory leader, and when he heard that the investigation team had arrested the warehouse management and maintenance management personnel, he was worried that the matter would be revealed and absconded overnight, some said he went to Tibet, some said he went to Xinjiang, and some said he fled to Outer Mongolia. The Public Security Bureau immediately issued an arrest warrant for the chief of the procurement section who had murdered him for money. According to insiders, the leadership of the Xizhou Iron and Steel Plant is not well supervised, and it is held accountable by the Central Committee and the Ministry of Metallurgy, and will soon be transferred.

"Grandma's, finally relieved! Slow down and don't send! After listening to the director's detailed explanation, Yang Liufang, who was already half-drunk, raised his glass, and Director Wang and President Li also responded. Everyone shouted "slow walking, don't send" and toasted and drank.

When Mr. Wang from the Wolongshan Hotel came to toast, Yang Liufang was already drunk, because the happiness and pressure were suddenly released, and this time he was drunk. I just vaguely remember the staggered picture on the wine table, and he was arranged by Director Wang to stay in the Wolongshan Hotel that night.

When he woke up, Yang Liufang was still dizzy, this is the charm of the country's top liquor. He rubbed his face with both hands, got up and turned on the TV in the hotel, he had already heard the workers who installed Simmons say that the TV in the Wolongshan Hotel was in color, at first he thought that it was different from their gray TV shell, the TV in the hotel was colorful, and he thought that the workers lied to him. It wasn't until the TV was fully developed, the characters in the show were wearing various colored clothes, and the black hair and yellow skin of the people were also very real, that he knew that the people in the TV were colored. He pressed the button a few times, and every time he pressed it, he found that there was a station, and there were no advertisements, or Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts movies that could not be seen on the black and white TV in their factory, and the accent was different from that in their TV, he was very surprised.

There were no such programs on the TV in the canteen of the Yang Liufang Furniture Factory, including the TV in his own bedroom, and their programs were clear, without any snowflakes. Unlike Yang Liufang's own TV in his factory, everyone has a short break at noon, and if they want to watch the replay of the popular TV series "Desire", they must first enjoy a half-hour advertisement, and the workers jokingly call it "a lazy woman's advertisement, stinky and long". There is also a slight wind outside, blowing the antenna standing in the courtyard of the factory, and the TV is a snowflake, sometimes with sound, sometimes squeaky, and even the sound cannot be heard.

Because the column of the fixed antenna they erect is fixed and does not need to be rotated, according to the response of workers who have a TV at home, many times they have to go outside to turn the antenna when the wind blows, and turn to the TV for development. There is a lot of wind and sand in the northwest, in order to watch TV, a person has to guard the door, and go to turn the TV antenna shaken by the wind and sand at any time, and some people are almost conditioned, and run out of the door as soon as they hear the "turn".
