Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

But his mother Qin Huairu's analysis just now also makes sense.

Wang Dong’s position in the steel rolling mill is really too high.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes in the workshop today, he would never have believed that the workshop director, who usually would never even look at him, would be so humble in front of Wang Dong and dare not even say a tough word.

Just as Qin Huairu said just now.

If they could find a way to morally blackmail Wang Dong and get him to say a word to the factory leaders, not only could they cancel their punishment, but they could also get themselves converted to a regular employee ahead of schedule, earning a monthly salary of twenty-two yuan and fifty cents.

Thinking of this, Banggeng subconsciously wanted to tell his mother the things that Yi Zhonghai asked him to hide, so that his mother could analyze it carefully to see if she could find one or two handles on Wang Dong, and then morally blackmail him and make him speak for him in the steel mill.

But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

He suddenly remembered another sentence Yi Zhonghai said to him on the way home.

"Wang Dong's high days at the steel mill won't last long."

At that time, Bang Geng didn't understand what this sentence meant.

In his eyes, Wang Dong was the high-ranking kitchen director of the steel rolling mill, and there were few leaders in the steel rolling mill who held a higher position than him.

Besides, Wang Dong is the factory director’s confidant, so how could he not have a good time for a while?

He subconsciously refuted Yi Zhonghai's judgment, even though Yi Zhonghai was his master and godfather.

But Yi Zhonghai's next words directly convinced Bang Geng.

And there is certain factual basis for this, which makes it difficult for Banggeng to believe it or not.

Today in workshop 1, Yi Zhonghai was appointed as the leader of the fifth production team because he suppressed Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang.

As a result, because the incident caused such a big stir and brought disgrace to his superiors, Yi Zhonghai was dismissed from his position as production team leader after serving for less than an hour. He then became the production team leader with the shortest tenure in the steel rolling mill, which was a complete loss of face.

Now Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang are in Wang Dong's hands.

If Wang Dong wanted to please Director Li by suppressing Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang, he planned to achieve his promotion goal in this way.

If this matter gets out, not only will Wang Dong not be able to get a promotion, he may also be demoted or even retaliated against by Director Yang behind the scenes.

Maybe by then he won’t even be able to keep his position as kitchen manager.

Once Wang Dong loses his cadre status, he will just be an ordinary worker in the steel rolling mill and will have no advantages at all in Siheyuan.

If you have conflicts with him in the future, you will have nothing to be afraid of.

If Wang Dong did not dare to suppress Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang in the kitchen because of the public pressure from the steel mill workers, he would definitely anger Director Li.

Even though Wang Dong was once Director Li's confidant, he has now offended Director Li because of his stance and still cannot keep his position as the head chef.

Banggeng firmly believes in Yi Zhonghai's analysis.

Because Yi Zhonghai lost his position as leader of the fifth production team due to pressure from public opinion.

Wang Dong holds a higher position in the steel rolling mill.

Once word gets out that he suppressed Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang in order to curry favor with Director Li, the impact will be even worse. Even if Director Li wants to keep Wang Dong, he will have no way to do so.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai promised Banggeng that as long as he did not tell Qin Huairu the truth about what happened in the workshop today, he would give Banggeng five yuan pocket money every month until Wang Dong stepped down.

There is a reason why Yi Zhonghai is so generous.

In his opinion, as long as Director Yang and Deputy Director Zhang entered the same cafeteria, Wang Dong would not be able to resist taking action within two to three months at the latest, otherwise Wang Dong would not be able to give an explanation to Director Li.

So Yi Zhonghai gave Banggeng at most fifteen yuan for pocket money.

As long as Wang Dong steps down and loses his cadre status and becomes an ordinary worker in the steel rolling mill, and Bang Geng is converted to a regular employee ahead of schedule under his own manipulation, it won't matter even if Qin Huairu knows what happened in the workshop today in the future.

After all, he had already solved the problem of Bang Geng being punished and becoming a regular employee. Qin Huairu would definitely not let a problem that had already been solved affect the relationship between the two of them.

Faced with the temptation of five dollars a month, Banggeng finally decided to stand on Yi Zhonghai's side.

Pick out some unimportant contents that are specific to Wang Dong and tell Qin Huairu.

The more Qin Huairu listened, the gloomier his expression became.

Because according to Banggeng, the whole thing from beginning to end was that Wang Dong deliberately targeted Yi Zhonghai and Banggeng in a workshop.

Jia Zhang's face was already covered with anger. Before Bang Geng could finish his words, she stared at Qin Huairu and said, "Huai Ru..."

"You heard it, didn't you?"

"This matter was Wang Dong's fault from beginning to end."

"My dear grandson is so wronged."

"I was severely punished by the steel mill for no reason and cannot be employed for five years. Is there any justice in the steel mill?"

"If you, as a mother, can't help Banggeng solve this problem, don't just say that I, as a mother-in-law, look down on you. Banggeng will also look down on you in the future."

"Shut up..." Qin Huairu was not going to tolerate Jia Zhang at all and scolded her without any politeness.

"If this incident is really Wang Dong's fault, I will definitely teach Wang Dong a lesson and seek justice for Bang Geng."

"I, Qin Huairu, have not lived in the Siheyuan for such a long time in vain."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Bang Geng and asked seriously: "Bang Geng..."

"Are you sure what you just said is true?"

"Wang Dong wanted to take revenge on you, so he deliberately went to the first workshop to pick a fight with you."

"Even your uncle Yi Zhonghai had to give in to him, but Wang Dong still held on to you and finally forced the workshop director to punish you."

"Yi Zhonghai also lost his position as the leader of the fifth production team."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Peng Geng finally gave Qin Huairu an affirmative answer: "Mom..."

"Everything I just said is true."

"It was because of Wang Dong that I was punished by the workshop director."

"If he hadn't deliberately gone to the first workshop to pick a fight with me, Grandpa Gan and I would never have been punished, and Grandpa Gan wouldn't have lost his position as the leader of the fifth production team."

"I understand..." Qin Huairu replied with a heavy face.

After thinking for another minute, she finally made up her mind: "Mom will go find someone now..."

"Let's go to the front yard and find Wang Dong to get justice for you."

Jia Zhang followed up with, "Yes... I must give my dear grandson an explanation."

"This time, not only will we make Wang Dong lose face in the courtyard, but we will also make him help Banggeng get a permanent job early, and we will also make him pay a sum of money to our Jia family."

"I heard that Wang Dong's family can get at least 150 yuan in salary every month. They definitely can't spend all this money."

"The family has saved at least two to three thousand yuan."

"If Bang Geng was really wronged by him, asking him to compensate my Bang Geng for a thousand yuan should not be too much..."

At this point, a greedy expression flashed across Jia Zhang's face involuntarily.

Qin Huairu's face flashed with a look of disappointment. It was already so late, and her mother-in-law was actually thinking about how much money Wang Dong should pay. (End of this chapter)
