Siheyuan: From the Start, I Take Charge of the Security Office

[Alternate-era setting + Courtyard of the Siheyuan fanfiction + powerful position from the start + reforming the factory and courtyard]

When Zhao Huaian awoke, he had transmigrated into 1965 and become the new head of security at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, also in charge of internal discipline inspections.

On his very first day, Silly Zhu grabbed the gate guard by the collar and tried to take two lunchboxes out of the factory.

"I cooked a special meal for the leadership. What's wrong with taking some leftovers?"

Zhao Huaian reached out and lowered the barrier. "Open them."

One box of raw meat led to eight falsified night-meal claims. One exit pass exposed six crates of spare copper parts sold off as scrap metal.

Yi Zhonghai thought he could pressure people with the whole courtyard's reputation. First, he could own up to the signatures he'd put on the paperwork.

Xu Damao wanted to trade information for a promotion. The credit would be noted, but he could put his schemes away.

Some people at the factory relied on powerful backers, some in the courtyard played poor, and others made an issue of the Lou family's trunks.

Zhao Huaian recognized only one rule: whoever took something they shouldn't have had to return it.
