Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 119 Choice
Nan Yi stopped what he was doing, sighed and said, "It's Zhu Shunming, a first-level fitter in the first workshop. I heard he's the apprentice of an eighth-level fitter in the workshop."

"Okay, I understand. Just focus on your work and take some rest in the factory these two days. I will take care of this matter."

When Zhou Weimin heard this, he knew that he was right. This was all Yi Zhonghai's doing.

This old guy is so tired every day, but he still has the mind to deal with Nan Yi. It's really hard for him. I have to take good care of him from now on.

After talking to Nan Yi for a few more words, Zhou Weimin thought of Duan Weihong's matter and asked with a smile: "Nan Yi, I'm okay at cooking, but I'm not so good at making snacks. Think about it these two days and see if you can make some snacks that can't be bought outside. I'll need them on Friday. Tell me what you need and I'll go to the small warehouse to get them."

He remembered that Nan Yi once made tofu rolls, and two workers couldn't stop eating them secretly and almost died of overeating.

Bring some snacks made by Nan Yi to Duan Weihong, you might get some unexpected rewards.

Nan Yi smiled when he heard this and said confidently, "This is simple. I have figured out a lot of snacks that are not available outside. Wei Min, if you want them, I can make some today. You can try which ones are good and I will make them then."

He felt much better that he could finally be of some help.

"Don't worry, as long as you can do it. Don't be busy today. Go to the infirmary to see Doctor Ding when you have time. You need to rest and recuperate. When the factory is closed tomorrow, I will go to your yard."

Zhou Weimin patted his shoulder, smiled mischievously, then turned and left.

"Is it so obvious? How do you know about this?"

Nan Yi's face froze. He touched his nose, muttered something guiltily, then turned around and went back to the fourth cafeteria.

……

After leaving the fourth canteen, Zhou Weimin thought for a moment and then walked straight towards the Propaganda Department.

Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice are workers in the workshop. It is not convenient for him to show up directly. At the same time, it is not convenient for him to trouble Wu Honggang at this time.

Then the best option is to go to Xu Damao to solve the problem.

Before Zhou Weimin walked into the Propaganda Department, Xu Damao walked out of the Propaganda Department.

"Wei Min, how come you have time to come here? Is there something going on?"

"Come and find you. Let's talk over there."

Zhou Weimin nodded, walked to the corner, and then lowered his voice to Xu Damao and said, "Yi Zhonghai asked his apprentice to make trouble in the yard, making Nan Yi restless. He didn't get a good rest for several days. It was he who caused Nan Yi to faint yesterday."

"I knew this old guy had a heart. He acted like a decent person in the yard, but he resorted to such despicable means for Sha Zhu."

Xu Damao's face was full of disgust. He continued with a grin, "After all the scheming, I was beaten up by He Daqing. The retribution came really quickly."

"Haha, he deserves it. He Daqing won't let him off so easily."

Zhou Weimin sneered, and the smile that usually appeared on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of coldness.

Xu Damao became nervous unconsciously when he saw him like this, and said cautiously: "Wei Min, what are you going to do? If you need my help, just tell me."

Zhou Weimin looked deep in his eyes and said calmly, "Let Nan Yi live a stable life. With Yi Zhonghai's personality, his disciples will not work hard for him."

"This matter is simple, just leave it to me. But if Yi Zhonghai finds out..."

Hearing that they were only going to deal with Yi Zhonghai's disciple, Xu Damao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but still gave a reminder with some hesitation.

Yi Zhonghai has been the boss in the yard for too long, which makes people in the yard subconsciously not want to go against him.

"You don't have to worry about this. Yi Zhonghai doesn't have time to take care of a young disciple's affairs now. Just do it with confidence." Zhou Weimin's voice was very soft, but after he said it, Xu Damao felt particularly relieved.

"Wei Min, I'm worried about the guards. Yi Zhonghai can't deal with me."

Xu Damao laughed dryly twice and found an excuse to save his face.

Thinking about what I just thought, it was really embarrassing.

"He doesn't dare. That's enough. Brother Damao, you go back first."

Zhou Weimin shook his head, said something and turned away.

Xu Damao's reaction just now explained a lot of things. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why everyone in the yard, knowing that Yi Zhonghai favored Sha Zhu, did not stand up.

It is true that he did not want to cause trouble, and it is also true that he always regarded Yi Zhonghai as the leader of the courtyard.

All I can say is that Yi Zhonghai and his people are doing very well in the courtyard, and it will take a big event to pull him down from the position that everyone regards as someone who cannot be messed with.

Whenever he was pulled down, he didn't need to do anything afterwards, everyone in the yard would teach him a lesson.

……

Just when Zhou Weimin returned to his office, he saw Yang Shibin's secretary waiting for him in the office.

"Secretary Wei, how come you have time to come here? I just went to the cafeteria to take a look around. I am sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Zhou Weimin was slightly stunned, but soon smiled, picked up the thermos and was about to pour tea for Wei Zhaojun.

"I just got here too. Deputy Director Zhou, don't be busy. The factory director wants to see you. Let's go over now."

Wei Zhaojun did not show any displeasure. When he saw the person coming back, he immediately stood up and explained the situation.

Zhou Weimin put down the thermos in his hand, handed Wei Zhaojun a cigarette, and asked with a smile: "Oh, OK, I'll be there right away. I wonder what the factory director wants to talk to me about?"

"I don't know either, but it's not a bad thing. The factory manager seems quite happy today."

Wei Zhaojun didn't mind saying more about Zhou Weimin, the newly appointed deputy director of the canteen.

It’s not a big deal, and it can also help you build good relationships with others.

Although he was the factory director's secretary, and was said to be a third-rank official in front of the prime minister, in fact, Yang Shibin's style of doing things did not allow him to have much power.

"Thank you, Secretary Wei. When I distributed wedding candies last time, you and the factory director were not in the factory. Take this wedding cigarette and get some of the good luck."

Zhou Weimin made up an excuse and stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Wei Zhaojun's pocket.

After all, he is someone close to Yang Shibin, and if their relationship is a little better, a reminder from him at any time might help him avoid some trouble.

Wei Zhaojun casually put the cigarette into his pocket and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Zhou, you're too polite. The factory director has been quite busy recently. I think he asked you to come over this time for a mission. Don't think too much."

Zhou Weimin nodded, and remained silent for the rest of the journey, not saying another word.

The most taboo thing when interacting with people is to talk about profound things before you have any knowledge of them. Wei Zhaojun has already said enough. If he asks anything more, he will only annoy others.

When he walked into the office, Zhou Weimin saw Yang Shibin reviewing documents, so at Wei Zhaojun's suggestion, he sat down on the sofa nearby.
