Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 165 Vicious
But as soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, He Daqing stood up and said, "Yi Zhonghai, if you say so, there will be no bad people in this world."

"If you commit a crime in the factory, it has nothing to do with the yard. If you commit a crime outside the factory, it has nothing to do with the yard. You have to cause trouble to everyone in the yard before we can kick you out. You are so shameless."

The crowd, who had just been somewhat shaken by Yi Zhonghai's words, finally came to their senses after being reminded by He Daqing.

Isn't that what He Daqing said? Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu have both been tortured by Yi Zhonghai, and Zhou Weimin also fell out with Yi Zhonghai some time ago for some reason.

None of the families that have a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai's family escaped. Now they will be forced to take advantage of them. This is unbearable.

"That's not what I meant. I have already compensated the workers for the mistakes made in the factory, and the factory has not pursued the matter any further. If I am kicked out of the factory because of the factory's problems, what will the factory leaders think of our factory? We all work in the steel mill, and there is no need for me to make it difficult for everyone in the factory."

When Yi Zhonghai saw the expressions on everyone’s faces, his heart sank and he quickly began to explain.

Seeing that everyone's faces didn't change, he gritted his teeth and continued, "I was fired by the steel mill, but my skills as an eighth-level worker are still there. As long as I'm still in the yard, you can always come and ask me if you have any questions about work in the future. What I did in the factory really affected everyone, and I hope you can give me another chance."

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, many people in the yard were tempted.

Who doesn't want to improve his or her work grade? With an eighth-level fitter who can be consulted at any time, it is only a matter of time before the work grade is improved.

If Yi Zhonghai really could come clean, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him stay. After all, they wouldn't gain anything by driving Yi Zhonghai out of the yard.

Liu Haizhong saw that the people in the yard were moved, but he was not panicked at all. He put his hands behind his back and asked with a sneer: "Yi Zhonghai, this is all you want to say. Are you done now?"

"That's it, we can now proceed to the vote."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, and the dejection on his face disappeared a little.

He had skills, so even if he was fired from the steel mill, he could still go to a factory like a machine repair shop and use his skills to solve some production problems to supplement his family income.

As long as he can stay in the yard, his life will not change much, and he can slowly think about his retirement.

It took so many years to make everyone in this courtyard respect the elderly and love the young. If he moved out, he would not have so much time to change another courtyard.

The most important thing is, if he moves to another yard, as an outsider who has just moved there, it will be almost impossible for him to influence the entire yard.

Now he has said everything he needs to say. As long as he can get through this time, there will still be hope for the future.

"There's no rush to vote. Now that you've finished speaking, it's time for Old Yan and I, the two big bosses in the hospital, to talk to everyone."

Liu Haizhong waved his hands calmly and gave Yi Zhonghai a smug smile.

What He Daqing said was indeed correct. Yi Zhonghai would use his eighth-level craftsmanship as capital.

If he had not been smart and consulted He Daqing, he would have been tricked by Yi Zhonghai again this time.

"Yi Zhonghai, if you hadn't mentioned that you were level eight, I would have really forgotten it. You've been the boss in the yard for so many years, but I've never seen you teach anyone the skills of locksmithing. The only person you taught patiently was Jia Dongxu, your apprentice, but everyone knows what you were thinking. It seems that unless something happens to you, you don't want to help everyone make progress together. There's a big problem with your thinking, and there's no problem in the factory expelling you." Liu Haizhong paused here, not to let everyone digest the meaning of his words, but because he suddenly forgot what He Daqing had said to him before.

Yi Zhonghai turned pale and explained dryly, "It's because no one came to ask me, not because I didn't teach."

"We've been neighbors for so many years, and everyone can see what you're thinking."

He Daqing saw that Liu Haizhong was stuck and said something suddenly.

"That's right. If you really had the heart to do it, would you not have taught us a lesson once? Yi Zhonghai, you keep saying that you have affected everyone, but how do you have the nerve to continue staying in the yard?"

"You've committed such a serious crime in the factory. If you still live in the yard, you won't be able to get promoted. You won't be able to pass the ideological assessment."

After these words were spoken, everyone in the yard realized this problem belatedly.

What is the purpose of improving technology? Isn't it to get promoted to a higher level and earn more salary? If they can't even pass the ideological assessment, what are they busying themselves for?

Yi Zhonghai's mind is really vicious. He is still deceiving them at this time.

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and discussed with the street office official Zeng Zhenggang: "Okay, Lao Liu has said everything he needs to say, so let's start voting by raising hands. Official Zeng, is it okay to vote now?"

"Now that everything has been made clear, let's start the vote."

Zeng Zhenggang nodded and looked at Yi Zhonghai with disgust. The appearance of such a stink bug in the yard under his jurisdiction had greatly affected his way forward.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong immediately announced loudly: "Everyone has heard it. Now let's vote by raising hands. Those who agree that Yi Zhonghai can continue to stay in the yard, raise your hands."

Everyone didn't react at once. Many people raised their hands subconsciously, and then suddenly put them down. In the end, no one in the entire yard raised their hand.

After waiting for a minute, Zeng Zhenggang saw that no one raised their hands, so he stood up and announced: "After all residents voted and passed, the proposal for Yi Zhonghai to move out of the courtyard was approved. Within seven days, the street office will arrange a new house for Yi Zhonghai and urge him to move out."

After Zeng Zhenggang announced the result, he stopped paying attention to Yi Zhonghai and turned to Liu Haizhong and said, "After Yi Zhonghai moves out, we will arrange for a new resident. The uncles in the two courtyards should help the new resident integrate into the group as soon as possible."

"Secretary Zeng, don't worry, we will take good care of the new comrades."

Liu Haizhong hurriedly made a promise, hoping to leave a good impression on Zeng Zhenggang.

"Well, your yard is still short of a manager. Hold a meeting and elect one as soon as possible and report to the street office. I have other things to deal with, so I'll leave first. Please get the manager's job done as soon as possible."

Zeng Zhenggang finished explaining his affairs and left the courtyard on an excuse.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui escorted the person out of the yard. After the person disappeared around the corner, they closed the gate of the yard and returned to the central courtyard.
