The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 170 Sha Zhu Returns to the Steel Mill

Shen Zhiping looked at Liu Wanqing and guessed that his wife must know something that he didn't, otherwise she wouldn't be so sure!
"Hehe, for me, I saw He Daqing walking with a woman when I was getting off work that day. They looked very close!"

Liu Wanqing did not hide it any longer and recounted what she saw when she got off work that day.

"That woman should be pregnant!"

"At that time, He Daqing was holding the woman, and she was carefully holding her belly. I guess there was a high possibility that the woman was pregnant!"

After hearing what Liu Wanqing said, Shen Zhiping suddenly understood He Daqing's operation.

This is a case of advancing in order to retreat!
Simply put, you want to open a window in the house, but someone doesn't allow you to do so. So, at the beginning, you don't say you want to open a window, you say you want to tear off the roof.

Those who try to stop you will certainly not be happy.

Then, you take a step back and say let's open the window.

In this case, how could the other party have the nerve to stop it?

He Daqing really knows how to have fun!
But, is this necessary?
Shen Zhiping felt that He Daqing might have some serious brain disease, otherwise, why would he make such a simple matter so complicated?

When a father wants to remarry, do his children have the right to say anything?

No!

He Daqing is doing so many things, either because he wants to have more things in his mind, or because he feels guilty towards Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, or maybe both.

However, this has nothing to do with Shen Zhiping.

He was just there to watch the fun.

"This family is not one to be worried about!"

Shen Zhiping finally sighed.

The stories that happened in this courtyard can only get more outrageous, but there is no limit to how outrageous they can be.

"It's just a pity for that child Yushui!"

As a woman, Liu Wanqing is still soft-hearted.

Before, she took the initiative to reprimand He Daqing and Sha Zhu for He Yushui's sake.

"There's nothing we can do. One is her brother and the other is her father. We are outsiders and cannot interfere!"

Although He Yushui is indeed quite pitiful, how many people in this world are not pitiful? Even he himself is not floating in this rolling tide, right?

No one knows what the future will be like.

Shen Zhiping talked to Liu Wanqing about the He family for a while. After dinner, he cleaned up and went back to his room to sleep.

"I want to have a son!"

With the daughter-in-law's words, the war began.

Isn’t it just about giving birth to a son?
No big deal, I’ll satisfy you!
Shen Zhiping didn't want to have a child so early before, and Liu Wanqing had the same idea. But now, his wife wants to have a son, so Shen Zhiping must satisfy her.

……

When he woke up early the next morning and heard the sound of rain outside, Shen Zhiping was in a really good mood.

After the rain, the weather will be much cooler.

The weather is too hot. Nothing I do is fun. If I move a little, my body becomes sticky and I feel uncomfortable all over.

After arriving at the steel rolling mill, Shen Zhiping entered the technical department not long ago when he was called to the office of Director Yang.

"Director Yang, are you looking for me?"

Although he didn't like Director Yang, Shen Zhiping didn't show any abnormality on the surface. After all, he was his immediate superior and he couldn't afford to offend him.

"It's like this. Regarding the selection of the head of your technical department, the higher-ups have already made arrangements. The new head will arrive next week. I'm telling you in advance that you need to prepare for the handover when the time comes. Is that ok?"

Director Yang spoke with a calm expression.

Shen Zhiping immediately stated that it was no problem.

How could there be a problem?
From the moment he was appointed as the acting section chief, Shen Zhiping knew that he could not become the section chief of the technical section. Otherwise, he would not be the "acting" section chief.

But, although I said it was okay, I didn’t think so in my heart.

Humans are a very weird kind of creatures.

It is a typical case of being both a responsible person and a poor person!
Shen Zhiping doesn't think he is an exception.

On the one hand, he wanted to keep a low profile and not stand out. On the other hand, he felt that he had made achievements and should be promoted and treated accordingly.

It’s so contradictory!

But at this moment, Director Yang's official manner made Shen Zhiping extremely unhappy.

No matter what, it was Shen Zhiping who took the lead in resolving the troubles of the Northern Suburbs Branch.

If the trouble at the North Suburbs branch drags on for too long, then the one who will suffer in the end will not be Shen Zhiping, but Director Yang.

Apart from anything else, the two accusations of negligence and incompetence will definitely be pinned on Director Yang's head.

Once this hat is put on, it is not easy to take it off.

To put it bluntly, Director Yang owed Boss Shen Zhiping a favor.

But it is obvious that Director Yang does not have this awareness.

Perhaps in Director Yang's view, everything Shen Zhiping did was as he should have done.

"Originally, the factory wanted you to take over the position of Section Chief Lu, but your age was a bit of a problem, and you also had some issues with your education. After careful consideration, the leaders above decided to let you train at the grassroots level for a while!"

"You, don't complain!"

"I know your abilities, and so do the leaders!"

"You are still young, there will be many opportunities in the future!"

After Shen Zhiping expressed his opinion, Director Yang began to make promises for him as usual.

Shen Zhiping listened to Director Yang's nonsense that had no technical content and thought to himself, this kind of nonsense might be enough to fool some idiot!

Of course, we have to give the factory director face.

"Director Yang, I understand everything!"

"I know I still have a lot of shortcomings. I never thought I could be a section chief!"

"Don't worry, I won't get upset!"

"I am very satisfied with my current situation!"

A level six engineer gets a monthly salary of 154 yuan. If you are still not satisfied with this, you really deserve to be struck by lightning.

Of course, if he became a section chief, his salary would be higher.

However, as a human being, you must be content with your appearance.

"Director Yang, if you don't have any other instructions, I'll go back to the technical department first. I still have to go on the routine inspection this morning!"

"Okay, go and do your work!"

Director Yang had prepared a lot to say, but he had just started, and before he could say much, Shen Zhiping left him speechless.

He was also thinking that he might have to talk to Shen Zhiping for a long time today. After all, he knew that he felt a little sorry for Shen Zhiping this time.

Shen Zhiping came out of the factory director's office with a cheerful face and light steps. To be honest, he was not unwilling to stop being the technical section chief. After all, he had to do his job well. As the technical section chief, he had to take care of a lot of things.

But he is no longer the head of the technical department, so he just needs to be an obedient tool.

Shen Zhiping first went to the Transportation Department, looked at the large and small vehicles in the Transportation Department, confirmed that there was no problem with the vehicle, chatted with the Transportation Department Chief Zou Wenjiang for a while, and then returned to the Technical Department.

No longer the technical chief, he felt relieved as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Near lunchtime, someone came from the forging workshop and said that a machine made a harsh noise, and asked the technical department to go over and see if anything had happened.

Shen Zhiping immediately took his men to the forging workshop.

When the plug-in saw the machine with the problem, it immediately gave a prompt.

Well, it was the same problem as the machines in the North Suburbs branch, which was due to insufficient amount of lubricating oil, which caused excessive wear on some parts.

The steel rolling mill had highlighted this point as early as after problems arose at the North Suburb Branch.

After asking the workshop director of the forging workshop, Shen Zhiping was also speechless.

The worker who was originally responsible for maintaining these machines in the forging workshop had an accident some time ago and broke his leg. Although he asked someone to help with the maintenance work, the newcomer lacked experience and was a bit lucky, so the frequency of maintenance was much lower.

Find the problem and solve it!
The people from the technical department came on the scene again, dismantling the machines and replacing parts. Since there were no ready-made parts, they had to draw drawings and ask the master fitters to make them by hand.

When the news reached Director Yang, he almost vomited blood.

The workshop director of the forging workshop and the workers in charge of maintenance were all fined and scolded.

Shen Zhiping is fine.

Although he was the acting chief of the technical department before, his work focus was on the North Suburb Branch for a long time, and as a result, he paid less attention to the machines in the steel rolling mill.

But no one expected that things would turn out this way!

"Mr. Shen, how long will it take to fix this?"

"It's not a big problem, it will only take a week at most!"

Facing Director Yang's question, Shen Zhiping answered calmly.

There aren’t many parts that need to be replaced, only about a dozen. Drawing them is simple, but making them does take some time.

"A week" is a time that Shen Zhiping deliberately exaggerated. If the master fitters work fast, it will still take three to five days.

Director Yang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Shen Zhiping said.

After all, the new technical chief will arrive next week.

Although we don't know the background of this parachuted technical section chief, he is capable of surpassing Shen Zhiping, who is already a level 6 engineer, so he must be from a prominent background.

Director Yang doesn't want the other party to face such trouble as soon as he arrives.

During lunch, Shen Zhiping actually saw Sha Zhu in the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, many people saw Sha Zhu and started pointing and whispering.

"This He Daqing really has some tricks up his sleeve!"

Only a fool would believe that Sha Zhu was able to return to the canteen of the steel rolling mill without He Daqing's involvement.

But, did He Daqing rely on the connections of Deputy Director Li or Director Yang?
Thinking about the fact that He Daqing was able to make a living in Peking when the Japanese invaders were rampant, it is clear that this guy was no simple character.

When Shen Zhiping was getting his meal, there was no window for Shazhu to stand at.

Sha Zhu was smiling happily, and next to her was Qin Huairu, who also had a smile on her face and chatted with Sha Zhu from time to time.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhiping became even more confused.

What exactly happened between Qin Huairu and He Daqing?

Could it be that what happened between He Daqing and Qin Huairu was actually just acting? Did He Daqing do all this to pave the way for Sha Zhu?
If this is the case?
Well, we can only say that everyone in this courtyard was played by He Daqing.

In this regard, Shen Zhiping could only say, "I admire you!"

Although there is a lot of talk in the factory about Shazhu's return, it is actually useless.

Sha Zhu did make a mistake, but the teacher said that we should cure the disease and save the patient.

As long as Sha Zhu stops causing trouble and works diligently in the cafeteria, based on his cooking skills, people in the factory will probably soon say, "A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold."

Shen Zhiping didn't pay much attention to Sha Zhu's affairs.

He still has work to do now!

If there was a problem in the forging workshop, would other workshops also have similar problems? Shen Zhiping felt that he needed to do a thorough investigation of the machines in the factory.

After he reported this idea, he naturally received the support of Director Yang.

Deputy Factory Director Li even said that if the logistics department needed any help, just let them know.

Although Shen Zhiping would soon no longer be the head of the technical department, Deputy Director Li's attitude towards Shen Zhiping remained unchanged.

In his opinion, even if a new technical chief arrived, a capable person like Shen Zhiping should not be offended.

This kind of person may not need to use it in normal times, but when he needs to use it, it can really make people anxious.

Therefore, smart people like to be prepared for such things.

Shen Zhiping, along with half of his colleagues in the technical department, began to investigate the machines in the factory. Although Shen Zhiping could spot problems at a glance thanks to his plug-in, it was not suitable for him to show off too much at this time.

We still have to give others a chance to perform!
A group of people went to each workshop and screened all the machines using a method similar to that of traditional Chinese medicine.

As a result, some problems were actually found.

Of course, these are not big problems.

Shen Zhiping's plug-in did find a lot of problems, but he didn't say much. They were not big problems, and they might cause some minor problems after a long time, so there was no need to talk about them.

However, when the problem arose, Director Yang still praised the technical department with great fanfare.

There was also a lot of praise on the radio, calling on all factory workers to learn more from the technical department and to exert their subjective initiative.

Shen Zhiping felt that Director Yang was really making a big deal out of nothing.

However, he was about to step down as acting chief of the technical department, so he did not express his opinion, lest Director Yang think that he was targeting him or expressing his dissatisfaction.

When returning to the courtyard from the factory, Shen Zhiping did not meet Yan Bugui, but ran into Jia Zhangshi instead.

When Jia Zhang saw Shen Zhiping, she looked at him unfriendly.

If Shen Zhiping had not spoken at the general meeting in the Siheyuan, their Jia family would still be supported by everyone in the Siheyuan!

Even Jia Zhang felt that Shen Zhiping should bear most of the responsibility for Jia Dongxu's accident.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhiping is not someone who is easy to talk to. His fighting skills are even higher than Sha Zhu's, so Jia Zhang doesn't dare to provoke him.

"Humph!"

When Jia Zhang saw Shen Zhiping, she snorted angrily when they passed each other.

Shen Zhiping was too lazy to argue with the other party. There was absolutely no need!

After all, Jia Zhang is now getting her retribution.

If he still argues with the other party, he will be targeted by some people even if he is right.

Shen Zhiping went back to the east courtyard and saw Liu Wanqing picking vegetables in the yard. As soon as he greeted her, Liu Wanqing waved at him and said mysteriously, "Close the door and come here. I want to tell you something!"
