Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Just as Yi Zhonghai was telling Qin Huairu about the worst-case scenario, the voice of the guard suddenly rang out at the door.

"Qin Huairu... come out quickly, our captain is here to interrogate Yi Zhonghai. If you are discovered, all of us will be in trouble."

Yi Zhonghai's bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and he could only watch the action team take Qin Huairu away.

I waited in the room for less than five minutes before Captain Zhou of the action team appeared at the door.

After entering the room, he didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Yi Zhonghai..."

"Bang Geng said that the letter of complaint in his hand was written by you, and the method of falsely accusing Director Wang in the kitchen was also yours."

"I want to know whether this is your own work or someone else is behind it."

"It is a serious crime to wrongly accuse the factory leader. If you are not careful, you will be fired from the steel mill."

"If there is someone behind you, I advise you to speak up."

"Otherwise, Director Li might get angry and make a decision that is unfavorable to you."

Yi Zhonghai also wanted to find someone to take the blame for him, but he racked his brains and couldn't find anyone.

Because he hasn't had contact with factory leaders for a long time.

There are more than 10,000 workers in the steel rolling mill, and at least one-third of them are workers at level three or above. Such an ordinary person has made mistakes and been punished. The factory leaders avoid him, let alone contact him.

Yi Zhonghai has never had any contact with the other person, so it is obviously impossible for him to bring him down to help share the responsibility.

Faced with Captain Zhou's questioning and Bang Geng's accusation, Yi Zhonghai could not think of any reason to refuse or deny and could only nod.

"Captain Zhou..."

"I asked someone to write the report letter, and I was the one who came up with the idea of ​​framing Wang Dong."

"If you go to the courtyard and ask around, you'll know that Wang Dong and I have a grudge against each other."

"I used to be a big boss in Siheyuan, an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill. I had the final say in Siheyuan, and no one dared to disrespect me."

"Wang Dong not only didn't give me face, he also went against me, destroyed my retirement plan, and made me lose my position as the head of the courtyard house, and even my status as an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill."

"He is the chef in the steel mill and a cadre. I definitely cannot defeat him in a head-on fight."

"Only if you can knock off the cadre image from Wang Dong and turn him into an ordinary worker, and an ordinary worker who has been punished, will I have the opportunity to retaliate against him and make him pay the price."

Captain Zhou didn't expect that there was such a conspiracy behind this matter, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now in Director Li's office, Director Li was particularly worried that there was a conspiracy against him behind this matter. He was afraid that someone would use the kitchen as a breakthrough point to investigate him and pull him down from his position as director.

Although there were people behind Director Li who supported him in becoming the head of the steel rolling mill, there were also people who opposed him becoming the director.

Director Li was most worried that these people would attack him.

If there was no other hidden hand behind Yi Zhonghai, and he really just wanted to take revenge on Wang Dong, Director Li would have no worries and concerns, and the punishment he would receive would definitely be much smaller.

Considering that he had helped Director Li do many shameful things in the past, he might be able to keep his position as the captain of the action team.

But just in case, Captain Zhou decided to ask again: "Yi Zhonghai..."

"You have to think about it."

"Is there really no one behind the scenes asking you to report Director Wang and investigate the kitchen?"

"The real purpose of your actions was just to take revenge on Director Wang and to remove him from his position as the head of the kitchen and turn him into an ordinary worker who was punished."

Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and replied: "Captain Zhou..."

"I also want to pull someone over to help me share the responsibility and reduce my guilt, but I really don't have anyone behind me. It's impossible for me to invent someone." Hearing this, Captain Zhou was completely relieved: "Okay..."

"I understand your explanation."

"Stay here quietly. Your punishment will be announced tomorrow at the latest."

"If it's fast, it will come out today."

…………

Director Li’s office.

Upon hearing Captain Zhou say that there was no other conspiracy behind the false accusation of Wang Dong for corruption, Director Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he is the head of the steel mill, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants in the steel mill. After all, there are many leaders watching him, and many of them have opinions about him.

If you are not careful, you might end up following Director Yang's fate.

Therefore, Director Li's position as the head of the steel rolling mill is not as easy as imagined. It is no exaggeration to say that he is walking on thin ice.

After frowning and thinking for a minute, he decided to accept Captain Zhou's investigation results, then stared at Captain Zhou and asked, "How do you think the factory should deal with Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng?"

Captain Zhou was indeed Director Li’s confidant. As soon as he saw the expression on Director Li’s face, he realized that he didn’t want to make a big deal out of this matter.

Otherwise, even if no one is watching the steel mill's kitchen now, someone will attack the kitchen after this incident and find a way to deal with Director Li through the kitchen.

Thinking of this, Captain Zhou immediately followed Director Li's meaning and expressed his own thoughts: "Director..."

"As the old saying goes: Don't air your dirty laundry in public."

"If we hand them over to the police, our steel mill will be embarrassed as well."

"I suggest dealing with both of them right inside the rolling mill."

"Considering that although the two made mistakes, they did not cause losses or much impact to the steel mill, both Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai were demoted."

"Bang Geng was demoted from a regular employee to an apprentice and cannot be converted to a regular employee within five years."

"Yi Zhonghai was demoted from a third-level fitter to a first-level fitter, and he will also not be able to be converted to a regular employee within five years."

Director Li shook his head and replied: "The punishment for Yi Zhonghai is too light."

"As the culprit of the whole thing, I am worried that Wang Dong will be dissatisfied if he is only demoted."

"Can he be fired?"

Captain Zhou quickly objected: "Director, please think twice..."

"I've learned about Yi Zhonghai and Banggeng's situation. Our family of four depends on the salary of Banggeng and Yi Zhonghai to make a living."

"If we fire Yi Zhonghai and demote Bang Geng to an apprentice, it would be tantamount to cutting off the livelihood of the Jia and Yi families."

"I'm worried that if the factory pushes them too hard, old man Yi Zhonghai will come to the factory to cause trouble."

"The reason why we resolved this matter internally is because we are worried that it will become difficult to handle if things get out of hand."

"If Yi Zhonghai is pushed into a corner and starts a fight with the steel mill, that would go against our original intention of resolving this matter at the steel mill."

"If this doesn't work, fine Yi Zhonghai another 200 yuan as compensation to Wang Dong."

"It is within Yi Zhonghai's acceptable range and can appease Director Wang. It will not push Yi Zhonghai into a desperate situation." (End of this chapter)
