Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Even young people cannot bear long periods of intense physical labor, let alone two people over 50 who have rarely done heavy physical labor.

In less than ten days, both of them collapsed from exhaustion.

When the news spread, almost everyone in the steel mill sneered at Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng's despicable tactics.

I think they are so shameless. In order to curry favor with Director Li, they simply disregard the lives of Director Yang and Deputy Director Li.

Although they made mistakes and were undergoing labor reform, they were after all the former director and deputy director of a steel mill.

Don’t look at the monk’s face but also look at the Buddha’s face.

Even if you are not in the workshop to take care of them, there is no need to suppress them deliberately.

As a result, Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng directly regarded suppressing Director Yang as a gift for joining Director Li, which shows how despicable they are.

…………

On the way to get off work.

Landowner Tang Dashan walked beside Wang Dong.

He also heard the rumors about Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng at the steel mill and couldn't help but sigh.

"master……"

"Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng are really cruel. No wonder they became a grandfather and grandson. They tortured two healthy people to the point of making them sick!"

"Director Yang and Director Li have always been at odds."

"Now Director Li has become the boss of our steel mill. Director Yang has stepped down. Yi Zhonghai and Banggeng have shown their loyalty to Director Li by suppressing Director Yang. If Director Li is in a good mood, he might promote Yi Zhonghai to be the official team leader."

"That bastard Bang Geng can also be promoted because of this!"

Wang Dong smiled and asked, "What?"

"I'm jealous!"

Tang Dashan quickly shook his head: "Of course I'm not envious!"

"I despise the method of rising to power by suppressing others!"

"If we want to increase our salary, we have to rely on our own efforts and abilities, not those crooked ways!"

Wang Dong was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and continued with a smile: "Your idea is very good!"

"As for Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng!"

"Do you really think they are showing their loyalty to Director Li by suppressing Director Yang in the workshop?"

Tang Dashan's face immediately flashed with confusion: "Isn't it?"

"Director Yang and Director Li are rivals. They have been fighting for six or seven years in the steel mill!"

"We finally managed to defeat Director Yang. We must give him a beating and severely suppress him to teach them a lesson!"

"Yi Zhonghai took advantage of the situation and acted just to the heart of Director Li. Isn't this showing loyalty?"

Wang Dong shook his head and replied: "You underestimate our Director Li!"

"If Director Li didn't have a little tolerance, do you think there would be so many people in the steel mill who would be so loyal to him?"

"If Director Li really wants to take the opportunity to retaliate against Director Yang and suppress Director Yang, do you think Director Li will demote Director Yang to a workshop and let Yi Zhonghai be the team leader?"

"That's the old saying!"

"Be kind to others and forgive them when you can!"

"The struggle between Director Li and Director Yang has ended with Director Yang's defeat!"

"There's no need to fight further in this situation."

"So Director Li's original idea was not to let Yi Zhonghai suppress Director Yang, but to let Yi Zhonghai take care of Director Yang."

"As a result, this old fellow Yi Zhonghai is too smart for his own good!"

"In order to show his loyalty to Director Li, he took matters into his own hands and tried every way to suppress Director Yang in the workshop. In less than ten days, two people were exhausted and fell ill!"

"Do you think Director Li will promote someone who is selfish, unprincipled, and ready to defect to others at any time?"

"Will you accept his declaration of loyalty?"

Tang Dashan was obviously shocked by Wang Dong's answer. He widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief and doubt.

But he quickly realized that Wang Dong was Director Li's confidant, so he must have a factual basis for saying such things, and he would not be making a fuss.

Looking at Wang Dong, he asked back: "Master..."

"As you wish..."

"Yi Zhonghai and his grandson suppressed Director Yang in a workshop. Not only did they fail to show their loyalty to Director Li, but they also ran into Director Li's trap."

"Not only will you not get promoted, you may even be demoted!"

Wang Dong shook his head again: "He will still get promoted. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, what Yi Zhonghai did in Workshop 1 is to show his loyalty to Director Li!"

"Whether Director Li recognizes this loyalty or not, he must accept it."

"Otherwise, no one in the steel mill will dare to join him in the future!"

"But from what I know about Director Li, it would be great if Yi Zhonghai could become the leader of the fifth team in the first workshop of the steel rolling mill!"

“Not only can I not move up further, I can’t even get promoted to the level of a fitter!”

"As for the stick terrier..."

"He's so young but he's so ruthless. Anyone with a bit of brains wouldn't dare to employ him!"

"So his dream of becoming a regular employee will definitely not come true."

"You have to stay as an apprentice for at least two years before you can get a permanent job!"

At this point, Wang Dong suddenly changed the subject and continued to say to Tang Dashan: "Since we are talking about this matter..."

"In a few days, I will propose to Deputy Director Li to transfer Director Yang and Deputy Director Xiang to the kitchen!"

"Just let them work under you!"

"I'm saying hello in advance!"

"Don't treat them specially, just treat them as ordinary apprentices and kitchen helpers!"

"Avoid any heavy physical labor if possible. After all, both of you are over 50 years old!"

"Ah..." Tang Dashan's face showed an expression of surprise again, and then a bitter face.

He shook his head and replied, "Master..."

"Can we not put them in the same cafeteria?"

“They’re so eye-catching!”

"Once I enter the cafeteria, there will definitely be a lot of people targeting me as the cafeteria monitor."

"I don't want to be watched no matter what I do in the cafeteria!"

"Why don't you change someone else!"

"Send Director Yang to the third canteen. The canteen's monitor, He Yuzhu, used to be Director Yang's man. No one will say anything if he takes care of Director Yang."

"Besides, many people in the kitchen know He Yuzhu's temper, so no one would have any objection if he took care of Director Yang!"

Wang Dong shook his head and replied: "What do you know!"

"Director Yang must work in a cafeteria!"

"Tell you……"

"If you do this well, it will definitely be a great opportunity for you. If it weren't for this opportunity, I wouldn't bother to arrange Director Yang to work under you. Don't be ungrateful!"

Based on Tang Dashan's understanding of Wang Dong, if he said there is an opportunity, then there must be an opportunity, and this opportunity will most likely bring him huge benefits.

I became interested immediately.

Looking at Wang Dong's expectant face, he asked, "Master, what is the opportunity?"

"The secret cannot be revealed!" Wang Dong shook his head and replied.

"This matter is too big, it's better for you not to know about it."

"If I really tell you, I'm afraid it will only do you harm and no good... Just listen to me and take good care of Director Yang!"
