Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 159 Notification
"Yi Zhonghai's salary will be reduced by four levels. He will not be allowed to receive salary increases within five years. His eligibility for performance appraisal will be cancelled. He will be criticized throughout the factory and transferred to the Health Department for ideological transformation. The time limit will be... just three months. If there is an urgent task, he will temporarily return to the workshop to assist in completing the task."

As soon as Sun Cheng left, Yang Shibin made a direct statement. This time, the punishment he mentioned was much heavier than before, almost stepping on the bottom line of what Yi Zhonghai could accept.

Finally, he added, "I will ask the Propaganda Department to handle the matter reported to the entire factory as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

"Yi Zhonghai is easier to deal with, but Qin Huairu..."

Li Huaide did not mention the punishment anymore, but mentioned Qin Huairu.

Yang Shibin casually said, "Old Li, please go and negotiate this matter. If there are any material requirements, they can be met appropriately, but the workers cannot make this loophole."

The task of appeasing Qin Huairu was directly left to Li Huaide.

This kind of thing is Li Huaide's responsibility, and he doesn't want to get involved in this mess.

Li Huaide nodded, then said to Fu Deyuan: "Deyuan, I'll need you and Weimin to keep an eye on the security department at night."

"It should, it should."

Fu Deyuan nodded repeatedly and agreed. If it weren't for Li Huaide, he would have been in a lot of trouble this time.

Li Huaide took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and put it on the table. He turned to Yang Shibin and said, "Let's go, Lao Yang. We haven't slept in the factory for a long time. We still have a lot of work to do tomorrow."

Yang Shibin raised his hand to check the time, then stood up and said helplessly, "It's really not a good time to go back. Let's go."

"Wei Min, we are in the lounge next door. Thank you for your hard work."

When passing by Zhou Weimin, Li Huaide patted him on the shoulder, whispered something, and then walked out with Yang Shibin.

After the two factory managers left, Fu Deyuan lit a cigarette and said with a wry smile: "Wei Min, it's just the two of us tonight. You go to sleep first, I'll call you in the middle of the night."

Zhou Weimin did not refuse Fu Deyuan's suggestion. The current situation was perfect for him to stay up until the second half of the night.

Zhou Weimin used a few benches to make a temporary small bed and lay down on it casually, and his consciousness entered the space.

I made a cup of tea in the cabin and lay comfortably in the rocking chair.

"Wei Min, Wei Min, wake up! I can't bear it anymore, I'll give it back to you."

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Deyuan's voice rang in his ears. Zhou Weimin opened his eyes drowsily, but his body had already sat up.

"What time is it? Is there any new progress?"

"It's three o'clock and no one has come back. I guess the security department will have to go to your yard tomorrow. Wake up and I'll take a nap."

Fu Deyuan spoke in a hoarse voice. The ground where he had just sat was already littered with cigarette butts.

"I'm awake now, Director Fu. Go to sleep for a while. We still have a lot to do when the leader wakes up."

Zhou Weimin stood up and walked to the table. He took a cup from the cabinet beside him, rinsed it with water, then poured himself a glass of water and took a small sip.

In just a short while, Fu Deyuan started snoring, and it seemed that he was really tired.

Interrogation room of the security department of the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai still insisted that he was going to help the Jia family, while Qin Huairu's tears were almost dry. She looked like she wanted to say something but didn't want to. She was very attitude but didn't say a single useful word.

It was past six o'clock when Sun Cheng returned to the security department with a tired face, but still had no results. "Captain Sun, how was the questioning going? Any progress?"

Zhou Weimin poured a glass of water for Sun Cheng and did not wake up Fu Deyuan who was sleeping soundly.

"No, no matter what you ask, they always say the same old things. Director Zhou, the people in your courtyard are pretty good."

Sun Cheng took a sip of water and laughed at himself.

After asking all night long and getting no answers, he felt that his professional skills had declined.

"Captain Sun, you are right. These people in our yard are really powerful."

Zhou Weimin chuckled and shook his head, then said, "You don't know, Yi Zhonghai's reputation in our courtyard is ruined. He deceived Sha Zhu... He was the chef of our third canteen for more than ten years, and he almost broke the father-son relationship with Sha Zhu's father."

"Shazhu's father is He Daqing, whom you brought back. Uncle He was also the chef in our factory before, and he had a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai."

"Yi Zhonghai should not be so ruthless. If Uncle He had not been called back by Sha Zhu's sister, I'm afraid the father-son relationship between him and Sha Zhu would have been severed by now."

"Just because he wanted to find someone to take care of him in his old age, he was able to deceive our entire courtyard for more than ten years. How could he not be amazing?"

Zhou Weimin explained it in great detail, as if he was afraid that Sun Cheng might not understand.

"What a fucking bastard! This kind of person should be shot!"

After hearing this, Sun Cheng burst into swore and his impression of Yi Zhonghai had become extremely bad.

"Calm down, calm down. He didn't succeed. I heard that he has to compensate Uncle He with two houses. He can't even hold his head up in the yard anymore."

Zhou Weimin smiled and comforted him.

"He only lost two houses. It was really a bargain for him."

Sun Cheng said this viciously, then lit a cigarette for himself before continuing, "It's better that Yi Zhonghai really didn't do this, otherwise I will skin him alive!"

"I think Yi Zhonghai has a lot of hidden secrets. You will have to get busy once the factory issues the notice today. Why don't you find a place to sleep for a while? Don't let yourself get into a ditch when you go to investigate."

Zhou Weimin joked and lit a cigarette.

Sun Cheng waved his hands nonchalantly, looked at Zhou Weimin and asked tentatively: "No, you don't know the situation of our security department. There are too many things to do all the time, and I'm used to it. I'm not afraid of too many things, but I'm afraid of not being able to get rid of them all. Director, if you know something, don't hide it."

He was sure that Zhou Weimin knew a lot of things, but he didn't know whether he was willing to tell him.

Zhou Weimin heard some noise outside the door, smiled and said helplessly: "There is something wrong, but it doesn't matter what I say. Let's wait..."

"If you have anything to say, just speak up. There's no need to wait. Yi Zhonghai's work style issues must be investigated strictly!"

Before Zhou Weimin could finish his words, the door of the Security Department's office was pushed open, and Yang Shibin's voice was heard.

"Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, that was just my guess. We need to investigate it and not wrongly accuse anyone."

Zhou Weimin raised his voice slightly.

Then, under the gaze of the three people, he continued, "Last time, Nan Yi fainted in the cafeteria from exhaustion. After investigation, I found out that it was Yi Zhonghai's apprentice who did it. He asked the elderly in the family to knock on Master Nan Yi's door at night, so that he couldn't rest at night. Director Fu also knew about this and punished Yi Zhonghai's apprentice at that time."
