Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

At this moment, even Yi Zhonghai himself didn't know why the situation had deteriorated to this extent.

It was as if there was a mysterious hand controlling everything, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the outcome.

But to be honest, this matter was indeed He Yuzhu's fault.

If he had not gone to retaliate against Xu Damao and been caught with something, the incident today wouldn't have happened at the steel mill, Director Yang wouldn't have been embarrassed, and Yi Zhonghai, as his godfather, wouldn't have lost eight or nine hundred yuan for no reason and be standing here being pointed at and scolded by Director Yang.

Now that things have happened, all Yi Zhonghai can do is try his best to keep He Yuzhu's job.

Only in this way can I help He Yuzhu plan for the future and continue to provide for myself in my old age.

He said to Director Yang shamelessly: "Director..."

"Please help Zhuzi with this matter no matter what."

"As long as we can keep his job, we will accept any punishment."

He Yuzhu is the most promising chess piece that Director Yang has placed in the logistics department of the steel rolling mill, and he will not give up easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

Even though I'm very unhappy about his recent actions, he's the chess piece I chose after all, so I have to swallow the bitterness.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's pleading face, he replied helplessly: "Don't worry..."

"This incident is not enough to make He Yuzhu lose his job..."

"You can go back now. I'm tired. The punishment for He Yuzhu will be announced by tomorrow noon at the latest."

Director Yang greatly underestimated the huge influence that public opinion would have on him.

We had originally planned to discuss the punishment for He Yuzhu at the leadership meeting tomorrow morning, but the voices of the workers demanding severe punishment for He Yuzhu were too loud.

In order not to affect production and to appease the increasingly irritable workers, Director Yang had to hold an impromptu meeting.

Before the afternoon, the announcement about the punishment of He Yuzhu was heard in the steel rolling mill.

"Now playing an important notice: Comrade He Yuzhu from the steel mill kitchen attacked Comrade Xu Damao from the propaganda department and seriously threatened his life. He has now been arrested by the police."

"Although Comrade Xu Damao has written a letter of apology to forgive He Yuzhu, in order to strictly enforce the mill's rules and regulations and prevent the same vicious incident from happening again, the mill leaders decided to severely punish Comrade He Yuzhu."

"From now on, He Yuzhu will be demoted to a level 10 chef in the back kitchen. He will not be able to take the chef assessment for the next year. He must also make a self-criticism in front of all the workers in the factory and recognize his mistakes..."

"Notify, notify..."

The broadcast about the punishment of He Yuzhu was broadcast three times in a row before it stopped to ensure that every worker in the steel mill could hear it.

…………

In a workshop of the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai's face had turned red with anger.

There is no thought of processing parts at all.

Standing at his own workbench, he clenched his hands into fists and began to tremble unconsciously.

Previously, the steel mill had spent a huge amount of money to cancel all the penalties against He Yuzhu, giving him the opportunity to pass the chef assessment again.

He Yuzhu did not disappoint him and passed the ninth-level chef assessment in less than a few months.

Although he was not selected as the kitchen team leader in the end, his cooking skills are there.

As long as he successfully passes the eighth-level chef assessment next year, it will be a sure thing that he will be the kitchen team leader.

With the support of Director Yang and his occasional advice, he might be able to become the deputy director of the kitchen like Wang Dong, and change his worker status to cadre status, so that he can enjoy the good life. However, after less than a few months of happiness, He Yuzhu himself ruined his dream of enjoying the good life.

If he wanted to take revenge on Xu Damao, then he should take revenge on Xu Damao. I didn't expect that he would use the method that is most easily used as a handle by others, which is to hit him with a club. Didn't he even discuss it with his godfather?

it's good now.

Not only did he lose the ninth-level chef qualification he had worked so hard to obtain, but even his promotion examination had to be postponed for a year.

This means that He Yuzhu will have to return to the position of level nine chef within the next two years, and it will take another year to pass the level eight chef exam.

At that time, the steel mill might be full of level 8 chefs. Even if He Yuzhu passed the level 8 chef exam, he might not be able to become the kitchen team leader.

More importantly, He Yuzhu's newly-raised salary will also be significantly reduced due to this punishment.

Yi Zhonghai had just lost eight or nine hundred yuan for He Yuzhu, and he was hoping to make up for his losses by deducting ten yuan from He Yuzhu's salary every month.

Now that He Yuzhu's salary has been reduced, it is very difficult for him to even support himself, let alone give himself ten yuan.

It hurts to think about it, but there is nothing we can do.

I don’t know how much time had passed, Yi Zhonghai suddenly slammed his clenched fist on the table in front of him, gritted his teeth, and said angrily.

"Xu Damao..."

"It's all your fault... If you hadn't reported it to the police, there wouldn't have been so many problems later."

"We can't just let this go. I'll make sure you pay in the future."

…………

This was the third time that He Yuzhu was arrested by the police. After being released, he did not dare to stay for even a second and followed Yi Zhonghai straight to his home in the Central Courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai is not a good person.
After closing the door, he told her in vivid detail how he had spent more than a thousand yuan to get Xu Damao to write a letter of apology, and how he had tried his best to keep He Yuzhu's job in the kitchen of the steel rolling mill...

He Yuzhu was so angry that his eyes turned red. He rushed to the door with his fists clenched, cursing as he walked: "Xu Damao, you are so good. You just got hit by a club, but you dared to ask for 1,300 yuan. Why didn't he just rob the money?"

"I'm going to go find him now and get the 1,300 yuan back."

Yi Zhonghai was frightened by He Yuzhu's impulsiveness and quickly grabbed him: "Zhuzi, what do you want to do..."

"The old lady and I finally got you back. Do you still want to be arrested by the police?"

"Can you use your brain more before doing anything? If you can't figure it out, come and ask me. Don't be so impulsive."

"You can go to Xu Damao and ask for money now."

"But I'm telling you: for saying this, you will definitely be sentenced to three months of forced labor, and you have to return the money you got back to Xu Damao."

"Forget about the job at the steel mill. Just wait to be an unemployed vagrant in the courtyard..."

He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, the angry expression on his face was slowly replaced by aggrieved expression, and he said unwillingly: "Godfather..."

"It was indeed my fault that I knocked Xu Damao unconscious this time. I shouldn't have been so impulsive, but the price I paid was too high."

"Not only did I lose more than a thousand dollars, but I also lost the ninth-level chef qualification I just passed. I won't be able to take the chef assessment next year. Are we just going to let Xu Damao, this bastard, go like this?"

Speaking of revenge, Yi Zhonghai's face quickly flashed with a murderous look, and then he replied: "We won't just let it go, but we have to be patient for a while, and we will take revenge after everyone has forgotten about this matter." (End of this chapter)
