For the past five or six years, ever since that whole movement blew over, you could say things had been the same at every work unit: all the employees treated their posts like their own homes.
And what did "treating their post like their own home" mean? It meant that whatever the work unit had, their homes had to have as well.
Never mind the logistics department, which was sitting on a mountain of supplies. Even everyday items from the various work teams—paper, pens, ledgers, tables, chairs, thermoses, and clothes hangers—were divvied up and taken home.
The only rule was not to get caught red-handed by the leadership.
As for reporting it? In all these years, no one ever had. Not for something like this. Even sworn enemies like Zhao Youcai and Zhang Zhanshan wouldn't use it to attack each other.
But today, of all days, that was exactly what had happened!
