Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 197 Thoughts
At this time, Fu Deyuan finally put his worries aside and felt a lot more relaxed.

"You are the only ones who can drink with me. You don't know if you are not in the workshop. Everyone in the workshop has opinions about me. My position as workshop director may be demoted at any time."

"No, your workshop has always been the best in completing tasks in the factory. You can't be blamed for what happened to Yi Zhonghai. I have lived in the same yard with him for so many years. If Shazhu's father hadn't come back, I would have thought he was a good person."

Zhou Weimin poured him another glass of wine and continued, "Who in our hospital hasn't suffered at his hands? Isn't it strange that no one thought there was anything wrong with him before the incident?"

"It's the same in the workshop. No one thinks he's doing a bad job. When something happens, everyone stands up and makes it seem like I'm pampering Yi Zhonghai. Let's not talk about this. It's unlucky to think about it. Guard, how are you doing with Deputy Director Yu recently? Many people in the workshop are still talking about you."

Guard Zhou rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "I have been working on the tooling with my master recently. It will probably take some time. Once it is done, it will improve the production efficiency a lot. However, there are still two places where the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. If it can't be solved, we can only add a process."

He said that he and his master were doing it together, but in fact he was the one doing most of the work, and his master was mostly giving suggestions.

After becoming the deputy director, my master was really busy. There were too many technical problems that needed him to solve. Being able to check on his progress from time to time was already a great consideration for him.

"Technically, things are like this. They are not so easy to solve. You should learn well from Deputy Director Yu, and you will definitely have a bright future. Deputy Director Yu, like you, graduated from a technical secondary school. When he was promoted from an intern to a regular employee, he should have been rated at the thirteenth level, the same as college students, based on his skills. After five years of hard work, he has become a deputy director. If our factory can produce another engineer, it will definitely be Deputy Director Yu. Weibing, you are lucky to be his apprentice, so you should cherish the opportunity."

Fu Deyuan gave Zhou Weibing earnest instructions. He admired this young man very much.

People who are quick-witted and willing to focus on technology will definitely have a bright future.

Weibing Zhou raised his glass and said sincerely, "Brother Fu, this is the second time I've heard you say this. The first time was when my brother said it to me. As your younger brother, I'd like to toast you. Brother Fu, if I can solve problems independently in the future, just come to me if there are any technical issues in the workshop."

Fu Deyuan covered it up and raised his glass to clink with him, as if he had acknowledged him as his younger brother. The depression he had felt over the past few days was finally washed away by the wine.

The three of them chatted about things in the factory and the yard. It was quite normal at first, but after drinking more than a bottle, they started talking about all sorts of things.

More than half an hour had passed and Fu Deyuan was almost 50% drunk. He had already drunk two and a half bottles of wine, and the side dishes on the table had been served twice more.

The three of them had almost finished drinking and stood up and walked out of the tavern.

As for the checkout?

Nowadays, people pay the bill first and then order the food. There is no such thing as paying the bill after the meal.

Fu Deyuan put his arm around Zhou Weimin's shoulders and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I'm going to give you a piece of advice, but you have to take it to heart. Remember to stay away from Qin Huairu in your yard. She's not a good person. In the workshop, she flirts with quite a few male workers, and several female workers have come to me to complain about this."

Although Zhou Weimin is on Li Huaide's side, what he does is obvious to all, and he does it all for the workers. He is very willing to interact more with Zhou Weimin.

If Li Huaide falls in the future, he is willing to help him. If Yang Shibin falls in the future, he just hopes that Zhou Weimin can also speak well of him.

Zhou Weimin nodded and whispered to Fu Deyuan, "I know what's going on, but Brother Fu, you have to pay attention to her. Yesterday, her family was making a scene in the yard, looking down on the neighbors who moved in from the countryside. There's something wrong with their thinking. You'd better talk to her, otherwise if something goes wrong, it might implicate you."

He didn't elaborate, just mentioning this kind of thing would be enough. With regard to the situation Fu Deyuan just mentioned, he would definitely not let it go. "There is such a thing? I'll make a note of it. I owe you a favor."

Fu Deyuan was shocked. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to have such an idea. Didn't she also come from the countryside and married Jia Dongxu? She really forgot her roots.

"Brother Fu, this is the last time. There is no such thing as inhumanity in our relationship."

"Hahahaha, my bad, I'll buy you a drink next time, see you later"

Fu Deyuan laughed out loud, got on his bike and rode away slowly.

The two brothers smiled at each other, then rode their bicycles towards the courtyard.

The matter on their side was considered accomplished, and their relationship with Fu Deyuan became closer.

As for Qin Huairu's matter, it can only be regarded as a by-product, or just a sincerity to make friends with Fu Deyuan.

When things get chaotic in the yard, Fu Deyuan will become closer to them.

After all, if Qin Huairu was educated in advance, no one would talk about him, and it certainly would not affect his position as workshop director.

While the two brothers were entertaining guests with drinks, the courtyard was also quite lively.

"Director Zeng, Director Quan, what brings you here? It's cold outside, come inside and have a drink of water."

Yan Bugui, who had just wiped his face after get off work, saw the clerk from the street office entering the yard and immediately greeted him with a smile.

Quan Fengzhen held a notebook in her hand and said sternly, "What wind? The wind of ideological education brought us here! Teacher Yan, you are the boss of the courtyard. Don't you have anything to say to us about the ideological problems of the Jia family?"

She is specifically in charge of ideological issues, so naturally she doesn't speak as softly as Zeng Zhenggang.

There have been many cases of people covering up their mistakes in other courtyards, and she thought that this time's incident would be the same.

Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Who was the gossiper who spread the news?

Then he laughed awkwardly and said, "Secretary Quan, you are here to deal with the Jia family's affairs? You see there is a misunderstanding. The Jia family had some conflicts with the neighbors who just moved in yesterday. You two know Jia Zhang well. Sometimes she speaks without thinking and has no bad intentions. It's really a pity to trouble you two to make a trip..."

"No bad intentions? I think she has a lot of bad intentions. She's already causing conflicts with new neighbors as soon as they arrive. This is destroying unity. I'll deal with your problems after the Jia family's affairs are settled!"

Seeing that he was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter, Quan Fengzhen glared at him and walked into the middle courtyard with Zeng Zhenggang.
