Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

In the middle courtyard of the Jia family, looking at the almost dull food on the table, Bang Geng subconsciously thought of Yi Zhonghai's proposal in the workshop during the day.

If he and his stepfather could really use Wang Dong's family as a token of loyalty to the new director of the steel mill, and then get a promotion and a raise in salary, he wouldn't have to eat such bad food in the future.

Not to mention eating meat every meal, but it's definitely okay to eat meat every other day.

But he had suffered too many losses at the hands of Wang Dong, so to be honest, he still felt a little reluctant and afraid to attack Wang Dong again.

Hesitantly, he said to Qin Huairu: "Mom..."

"Yi Ba wants to deal with Wang Dong again. This time, he plans to deal with Wang Dong's entire family. I'm a little undecided, so I want you to give me some advice."

Qin Huairu was also a little scared by Wang Dong's methods.

I always feel that Wang Dong is not as simple as he seems, and he has hidden strengths that no one knows about.

If they act rashly, the Jia family might end up losing both the wife and the army.

So when faced with his son's question, Qin Huairu did not respond immediately, but turned his attention to Yi Zhonghai, wanting to see if this old guy really had any new tricks to deal with Wang Dong.

If he planned to use moral blackmail to deal with others as before, Qin Huairu would definitely let Banggeng refuse without hesitation.

Yi Zhonghai had already thought of a reason, and when Qin Huairu looked at him, he began to explain the situation: "Huairu..."

"Director Li is about to fall..."

"He hasn't been seen at the steel mill for several days. He must have been arrested."

"Many of the confidants that Director Li had promoted before have begun to be purged. Some have even been arrested directly. Those who were luckier were also demoted to the lowest positions."

“This is definitely in preparation for the new factory manager to take office.”

"Wang Dong and his wife were both promoted by Director Li. One of them is in charge of the kitchen of the steel mill, and the other is in charge of the technical department of the steel mill. His sister-in-law is also doing well in the financial department of the steel mill."

"After the new factory director takes office, he wants to start work in the steel mill as soon as possible. He needs to take charge of the steel mill, the kitchen, the technical department, and the financial department."

"So Wang Dong's family should all be on the new factory director's liquidation list."

"As long as Wang Dong's family is defeated, the positions of the head of the kitchen and the deputy head of the technical department will be vacant, and the new factory director can arrange his own people in those departments."

"Since Wang Dong's family will definitely be liquidated by the new director of the steel mill, I thought of taking Bang Geng with me to seize this opportunity and take the initiative to report Wang Dong's family to the new director as a token of our allegiance to the new director, so that the new director will have a reason and excuse to investigate Wang Dong and liquidate Wang Dong.

"As long as we accomplish this, we can become the confidants of the new director of the steel mill."

"As an old employee who has worked in the steel mill for half my life, and before that was an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill, and the deputy director of the workshop is under investigation, I may have a chance to become a deputy director of the workshop before retirement and retire as a cadre."

"I learned that if I can retire as a deputy section-level cadre, my pension will be at least twice that of a worker."

"If I become the deputy director of the workshop, Bang Geng will also benefit. There will be no problem in supporting him to a position in the workshop production team before I retire."

"With the support of the new factory manager and new people, maybe I can become a workshop director in the future."

Qin Huairu did not respond immediately after listening.

A few years ago, when Yi Zhonghai used the steel mill action team to deal with Wang Dong, he was as confident as he is now, and even assured himself how perfect his plan was and that there would definitely be no accidents.

In the end, an accident happened.

Instead of using the action team to overthrow Wang Dong, Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng were punished, resulting in Bang Geng still being an apprentice in a steel mill. The Jia and Yi families also suffered for several years because of these two punishments.

Qin Huairu will never make the same mistake again.

So this time he would definitely not let his son Banggeng take risks just because of Yi Zhonghai's empty talk.

Looking into Yi Zhonghai's eyes, he asked seriously, "Old Yi..."

"Are you sure Director Li is really going to fall?"

"The new factory manager will definitely liquidate Wang Dong's family after he takes office."

"I'm sure..." Yi Zhonghai answered, patting his chest.

"If the new factory director wants to secure his position as the head of the steel mill, he must take control of logistics and production."

"If you want to control these two departments, the easiest way is to place your own people in them."

"Wang Dong is in charge of the steel mill's kitchen, and his wife is in charge of the technical department. If Wang Dong is arrested, his wife will also be arrested because of joint responsibility."

"No one would easily let go of this good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone."

"Huai Ru, you have also worked in a steel mill. If you were the new director of a steel mill, would you seize the opportunity to quickly control logistics and production?"

"So I concluded that reporting Wang Dong's family to the new factory director could definitely be used as a token of our allegiance to him."

"Even if I can't become the new factory director's confidant, it's good to be recognized by the new factory director."

“When a vacancy occurs in a workshop, the first person the new factory manager thinks of will definitely be me.”

Qin Huairu turned to look at her son: "Great..."

"Did your father Yi lie to me? Director Li, who has been the head of the steel mill for more than ten years, is really going to fall."

Bang Geng answered without hesitation: "Mom..."

"This matter has spread throughout the steel mill, so there must be no problem."

"The deputy director of our workshop is a close confidant of Director Li who was promoted by him. He has no other abilities except playing tricks on people."

"In order to avoid being implicated by Director Li, I haven't been to the workshop for several days."

"Some people who know the inside story are saying that the deputy director is trying to find connections outside and wants to be transferred out of the steel mill, even if it means he won't be a cadre, for fear that he will be purged by the new director."

"The entire steel mill was thrown into panic by the fall of Director Li, and even production was halted."

"Everyone in the steel mill knows that Wang Dong is a trusted subordinate of Director Li who was promoted by him."

"Even if we don't go to the new factory manager to report Wang Dong, I think others will use the excuse of reporting Wang Dong to join the new factory manager."

Seeing that Bang Geng was already beginning to be moved, Qin Huairu still had a trace of worry on his face. Yi Zhonghai continued, "Huairu..."

"This is a great opportunity for Banggeng and I to turn things around at the steel mill. If we miss it, it will be gone."

"As long as the report is successful, Banggeng and I will be favored by the new director of the steel mill, and our future salary will at least double. Then our family won't have to live through the hard times we have now, and we will have enough pension to live on after retirement, and you won't have to make money by making matchboxes every day."
