Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Director Li didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai was really a person who curry favor with the powerful.

You know, he was able to become an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill and have the final say in a workshop. It couldn't be all due to Director Yang, but at least 30% to 40% of his contribution was due to his contribution.

As a result, as soon as Director Yang was demoted, he betrayed Director Yang for his own future and even became his enemy.

Although Yi Zhonghai was trying to show his goodwill to him through this incident, Director Li did not dare to use him.

Yi Zhonghai can betray Director Yang for his future, and he will definitely betray himself for his future one day in the future. Director Li has done a lot of shameful things in his daily life, and he is not comfortable keeping such a person around him no matter what.

But it can still be used to disgust Director Yang and others.

After thinking for a while, he said to his subordinates, "In the next few months, keep an eye on the people who have been transferred to various workshops, especially Lao Yang."

"If Yi Zhonghai really assigns the most tiring work in the workshop to Lao Yang, I will give Yi Zhonghai the position of team leader in half a month, so that Yi Zhonghai will feel that I have seen his pledge of loyalty."

"As long as he continues to suppress Lao Yang and his team in his future work, he will have no problem getting promoted to deputy director of a workshop in the future."

Let Lao Yang see how his former trusted subordinates treated him.

The next day at work, in order to let Director Li see his loyalty and determination to join him, Yi Zhonghai simply chose to ignore Director Yang's request and asked him to move the raw materials and iron billets needed for the rest of the day.

During the transportation process, Director Yang fell twice, and his arms were bruised, but Yi Zhonghai acted as if he didn't see it. Not only did he not let them rest, but he stood by and threatened them to continue transporting the raw materials, otherwise he would not be able to leave work for lunch...

There were no other workers around who dared to help him, so Director Yang could only endure the pain and grit his teeth to continue moving the raw materials.

But he had already cursed Yi Zhonghai countless times in his heart, and his hatred for Yi Zhonghai was simply indescribable.

If he had the chance to take power again in the future and become the head of the steel mill, he would definitely take revenge on Yi Zhonghai and let him know the price of betraying and suppressing him.

After finally making it to noon, Director Yang was so tired that he could hardly straighten his back.

But in order to ensure that he had enough energy to work in the afternoon and avoid being targeted by Yi Zhonghai again, Director Yang still endured the pain in his back and rushed to the canteen.

The former director of the steel rolling mill has transformed into an ordinary worker. As soon as Director Yang entered a workshop, he became the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone looked at him and pointed at him, but no one dared to approach him and say hello to him.

The news that Director Yang was demoted to a workshop as an ordinary worker because of a mistake had been heard by everyone in the steel mill through the radio.

The person in charge of the steel mill now is Director Li, Director Yang's rival.

If we make friends with Director Yang at this time, it would be tantamount to offending Director Li. No one with a bit of common sense would do that.

There are even some people who want to take crooked paths, thinking that they will mock Director Yang later. If they are noticed by Director Li, maybe one day they will be able to become a phoenix and rise to prominence.

So wherever Director Yang went, no matter whether it was the workers in front of him or around him, they all stayed away, fearing that they would be implicated by Director Yang.

Director Yang was mentally prepared for the scene before him. Facing the workers who were avoiding him like the plague, he showed no displeasure on his face and walked calmly to the food window.

"Isn't this Director Yang?" As soon as he walked to the window, a kitchen helper in charge of serving food said with a sarcastic expression.

"You are the director of our steel mill. Why are you here in the cafeteria to get food?"

Almost everyone in the kitchen knew that Director Yang and Director Li did not get along, and he got even worse with the kitchen director Wang Dong.

They had finally found an opportunity to take revenge on Director Yang and give Directors Wang Dong and Li a chance to vent their anger, and no one would let it go no matter what.

Director Yang's face quickly turned red. He had never expected that a kitchen helper in the steel mill would dare to mock him. But he quickly forced himself to calm down.

It’s different in the past.

Not only is he not the director of the steel mill now, he is also an ordinary worker who has made a mistake and is undergoing labor reform.

If you can't even accept the other party's sarcasm, how can you carry out labor reform in the future?

Facing the other party's mocking gaze, he calmly replied: "There is no Director Yang here, only an ordinary worker who is undergoing labor reform."

"Comrade, I want two steamed buns made of 1/2 tsp flour, one meat dish, and one vegetable dish..."

Seeing that Director Yang did not get angry in the face of his ridicule, the kitchen helper was disappointed and deliberately picked out two of the smallest steamed buns made of two-grain flour for Director Yang.

The two dishes in his lunch box were both soups. Not only was the quantity half less than others, but there were only two pieces of meat in the meat dish.

Director Yang knew at first glance that the other party did it on purpose.

But he didn't say much. After all, he was under someone else's roof and had to bow his head.

Just as he was about to swallow his anger and turn away, Wang Dong's voice suddenly rang out from the window.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing? Don't you know the rules of our steel mill kitchen?"

"Comrade Yang Guodong, wait a moment..."

Director Yang saw Wang Dong standing at the food window at a glance.

Both brows frowned at the same time.

In his opinion, Wang Dong is Director Li's man. As Director Li's former opponent, he has now been demoted by his superiors. Wang Dong will definitely not miss this good opportunity to mock and suppress him.

But Wang Dong's next words surprised him.

"Just now, the kitchen staff deducted your meal due to human factors. I apologize to you first. The kitchen staff will definitely trigger Comrade Xiao Zhou next. Now I want you to make up for the shortfall..."

While Wang Dong was speaking, Xiao Zhou, who had just shaken the spoon for him, had already put two and a half spoonfuls of vegetables into his lunch box, with a look of regret on his face.

Wang Dong's voice rang out in the kitchen at the same time: "Listen to me..."

"I don't care who the people who come to get food are, whether they are people sent to our steel mill for labor reform, we in the kitchen must treat everyone equally without any prejudice."

"Even if someone makes a mistake, we have no right to deprive them of their right to have a full meal."

"If I catch anyone shaking the spoon when serving food to the workers again, I will punish them severely in the kitchen. Do you understand?"

The voice reached Director Yang's ears, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Dong again.

You know, ever since he lost his position as director of the steel rolling mill and was demoted to a workshop as a worker by his superiors, everyone he met has been sarcastic and mocking towards him, and they are eager to step on him, even his former confidant Yi Zhonghai is no exception.

As a result, Wang Dong, whom he regarded as his opponent and enemy, turned out to be the first person to treat him equally. The huge contrast made him fall into deep thought involuntarily, while recalling every detail of his fight with Wang Dong in his mind. (End of this chapter)
