Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

As soon as he left Director Yang's office, Yi Zhonghai's face turned pale.

Beads of sweat the size of beans were pouring down my forehead like rain, and I was feeling extremely nervous.

In his memory, he was not as nervous as he is now when he was caught cheating by his neighbors in the courtyard.

Bang Geng's reaction was even more exaggerated. He showed an expression of fear and panic. After leaving Director Yang's office, perhaps because he was too scared, he almost fell to the ground. It was very embarrassing.

I don’t know how much time passed before I asked Yi Zhonghai in a frightened voice: “Dad Yi…”

"Do you think we will be fired from the steel mill?"

This is also what Yi Zhonghai is most panicked and worried about.

When he was caught cheating with Qin Huairu, he still had several thousand yuan in savings. Even if the matter got out of hand and he lost his job, with a few thousand yuan in savings, his retirement would definitely not be a problem.

It's different now.

All my savings added up to less than one thousand yuan. If I were really fired from the steel mill, I would lose my future pension.

Plus, he is old and it is impossible for him to find a new job outside, and the little savings he has is definitely not enough for his retirement.

Yi Zhonghai has spent most of his life planning in the Siheyuan and the steel rolling mill, with the goal of living a good life after retirement and having someone to support him in his old age.

After all the calculations, Yi Zhonghai still couldn't even meet his basic living needs after retirement. How could he not be anxious?

Facing Banggeng's fearful gaze, he answered guiltily: "Even if Director Yang really punishes us for framing the factory leaders, he shouldn't expel us from the steel mill...right..."

Yi Zhonghai used to be very confident when speaking to Banggeng, but today he felt guilty for the first time because he didn't know whether Director Yang would fire them.

If this letter of accusation simply slandered the factory leaders, it would definitely not reach the point of dismissal.

The key point is that the master and the apprentice have offended Director Yang.

If Director Yang wanted to retaliate against them, bring up old issues again, and at all costs find out the mistakes they had made in the steel mill, and make them more serious, it is not impossible that he would expel them from the steel mill.

Bang Geng could tell that Yi Zhonghai was guilty, and the fear on his face intensified. He asked anxiously, "What should we do?"

"Now many educated youth have returned to the old city, and there are people looking for jobs everywhere."

"If we are fired because of disciplinary action, we will definitely not be able to find a new job."

"Dad Yi..."

"It was you who instigated me to report Wang Dong with you, saying that nothing would go wrong and that we could become the new factory director's confidants..."

"Now that something has happened, we may even be fired from the steel mill. You must find a way to help me keep this job, otherwise I will no longer recognize you as my stepfather."

"Shut up……"

Yi Zhonghai is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. He absolutely cannot tolerate Banggeng climbing on his head and shitting and pissing on him, threatening him.

The worried expression on his face was immediately replaced by anger: "Why are you panicking?"

"Before the factory's punishment comes out, anything is possible."

"Even if the factory really wants to fire us, they will talk to us in advance..."

"After all, I have worked in the steel mill for decades. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. I will definitely find a way to stay here."

"Let's go back to the workshop first. I'll think of a solution."

…………

In the first workshop, the director was not aware that Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng had suffered a setback in Director Yang's office. After all, their expressions when they just left the workshop were too arrogant, and they clearly looked like they were going to be promoted.

Considering the fact that they pretended to be sick to report the incident, everyone in the workshop thought that their report was successful and that the new factory manager might take it seriously.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai and Banggeng return to the workshop, many employees who were good at taking advantage of the situation wanted to go over and curry favor with them.

Yi Zhonghai is an old employee of the factory and a former level 8 fitter. He has both the qualifications and the skills.

If he could gain the favor of the new factory director, he could not only take the opportunity to restore his status as an eighth-level fitter, but he might even become deputy director of the workshop.

One person attains the Tao and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

If Yi Zhonghai gets a new factory manager, Banggeng's status in the workshop will also be improved.

If you try to curry favor with them now while they haven't been promoted yet, you might get some benefits.

As a result, before they had time to curry favor, everyone saw the panic and worry on the two people's faces.

The arrogance and arrogant expression he had when he left the workshop disappeared completely.

Faced with this change, even a fool would know that the two of them did not get a good deal from the new factory manager and might even be scolded.

Those employees who followed the trend decisively gave up the idea of ​​currying favor with the two people, but a few people still came over.

But their purpose was not to curry favor with Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng, but to go over and taunt them. They wanted to know why the expressions on their faces changed so much and what they did when they fell down in the new factory director's office.

"Master Yi... have you met the new factory director? Who is he? What does he look like? Is he easy to get along with?"

"Why do you two have these expressions? Didn't the new factory manager praise you for taking the initiative to report it?"

"You two are the only two in our workshop who have met the new factory director. This means that the new factory director trusts you two very much. Tell us quickly, did the new factory director give you any benefits?"

Faced with the sarcastic questions from his co-workers, Yi Zhonghai was not only upset, but also very angry.

These people are all at odds with me, and they are eager to create chaos and make me lose face in the workshop.

His hands had already been clenched into fists out of anger, and his face had turned red.

Seeing that they wanted to continue mocking him, he couldn't help but punch the workbench and curse.

"Shut up, everyone..."

"It's work time now, I have to do something."

"If you want to know who the new factory director is and what he looks like, just go to the new factory director's office and see for yourself."

"Isn't it just a few questions? Why are you so angry? Why are you so petty?" Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't respond, several workers knew that they couldn't continue to mock him, so they complained a few words and returned to their workstations.

However, Yi Zhonghai's curse just now made everyone more certain of their previous judgment.

Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng, who wanted to show off their achievements to the new factory director, not only did not get any benefits, but were scolded instead, otherwise their faces would not have become so bad.

Little did they know that not only were they scolded, but they were also about to lose their jobs in the steel mill.

At this time, all he was thinking about was how to keep his job at the steel mill, otherwise Yi Zhonghai's future retirement would be in trouble.

It will also be more difficult for Banggeng to find a wife if he loses his job.

Facing the ridicule of the crowd, I was in no mood to respond. (End of this chapter)
