The winner of life in the courtyard

Chapter 193 Jia Zhang enters the steel mill

Hearing Shen Zhiping say this, Liu Wanqing's face changed slightly. She looked at Shen Zhiping in astonishment and whispered, "Do you think Qin Huairu wants Jia Zhang to lose this job?"

Under normal circumstances, the factory will not fire workers unless they have done something illegal or disorderly.

Just like Shazhu!
However, He Daqing has some means that allow Sha Zhu to enter the steel mill for the second time. As for when he can be converted to a regular employee, it is hard to say.

And what about Jia Zhang?
If she really broke the law and was fired, no one would be able to help her find a new job.

Even if Jia Zhang's problem was serious and she was sent to labor reform like Sha Zhu, then Jia Zhang might never be able to return to the Siheyuan.

Although Shazhu sometimes does stupid things, he has a skill: he can cook.

Moreover, Shazhu is sometimes quite good at talking.

But not only did Jia Zhang have no skills, she also liked to take advantage of her age, even though she was not old.

Who gave her the illusion that she was an old person?

Yi Zhonghai!
Shen Zhiping was also shocked by Liu Wanqing's words.

If all this was really planned by Qin Huairu, then this woman is really scheming.

But, is Qin Huairu really so calculating?
Shen Zhiping felt that maybe the two of them were imagining things a little too much.

He couldn't think about it anymore. If he continued thinking about it, he would develop paranoid delusions.

After comforting Liu Wanqing with a few words, Shen Zhiping ended the topic.

Regardless of whether this was Qin Huairu's plan, one thing is certain: if Jia Zhang's temperament does not change at all, she will definitely suffer a lot when she goes to the steel mill.

……

Early the next morning.

After Shen Zhiping and Liu Wanqing had breakfast, they both got on their bicycles and went to work.

After sending Liu Wanqing and his daughter to the Grain Bureau, Shen Zhiping rushed to the steel mill.

When he arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, Shen Zhiping saw Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi walking into the factory one after another.

“It’s getting more and more interesting!”

Shen Zhiping couldn't quite understand Qin Huairu's actions.

Of course, he couldn't see through Jia Zhang's operations.

However, it is not possible for ordinary people to see through someone like Jia Zhang who is used to making trouble and playing tricks.

Shen Zhiping went to his office, got himself a bottle of water, and then went out to carry out his daily inspection as a routine.

First, we go to the Transportation Department to make sure that all its vehicles are in good condition before leaving the factory, and then we go to the workshop for a walk.

You still need to keep an eye on the machinery and equipment in the factory.

When he came back after walking around, he saw Director Yang's secretary Wang Yifang waiting outside his office.

"Brother Wang, are you waiting for me?"

Shen Zhiping greeted Wang Yifang with a smile.

"I'm just waiting for you!"

Wang smiled, but soon disappeared and told Shen Zhiping the reason why he came to see him.

Good guy, really good guy!

The dispute between Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang actually dragged him into it.

In other words, it was not just him, several people from Siheyuan who worked in the steel rolling mill were involved, and it was really a case of each person having his own reasons.

Director Yang was put in a difficult position and didn't know how to solve the current problem.

Helpless, he could only ask the people in the courtyard for information.

When Shen Zhiping followed Wang Yifang to the reception room, he saw Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu were all there.

However, Sha Zhu was obviously not the person that Director Yang was questioning. Instead, he was sitting with Qin Huairu. They were a couple!

"Director Yang!"

Shen Zhiping looked at Director Yang and greeted him calmly.

Director Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, please sit down first!"

Shen Zhiping sat down directly.

Director Yang immediately spoke up and explained the whole story, and then slowly said, "Regarding the dispute between Comrade Zhang Xiaohua and Comrade Qin Huairu, I hope you can tell me in detail!"

"Director Yang, Comrade Yi Zhonghai knows this matter best, so let Comrade Yi Zhonghai speak!"

Shen Zhiping spoke directly.

Yi Zhonghai lived in the central courtyard, and Jia Dongxu was once his apprentice.

Apart from the people involved, he knows the most about the Jia family's affairs.

It is reasonable for Shen Zhiping to ask Yi Zhonghai to speak.

Liu Haizhong didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters. Even though he really wanted to perform well in front of his leader, he knew that this was not the right time for him to speak.

Yi Zhonghai really wanted to say that he didn't know the inside story either.

But when Director Yang's eyes fell on him, Yi Zhonghai could only speak honestly.

This time, Yi Zhonghai did not play any tricks, but stated the truth of the matter faithfully.

Jia Zhang felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.

Even after Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Director Yang's brows did not relax at all and were still furrowed.

The reason why Director Yang was in a difficult situation was purely because of Jia Zhang’s age!
What can Jia Zhang do at such an old age?
"Comrade Zhang Xiaohua, the factory has no objection to you taking over in principle."

"It's just that, what exactly do you do after entering the factory? Do you have any demands?"

"I will take over Qin Huairu's job!"

Jia Zhang said without hesitation, "She helps in the kitchen in the canteen, so I want to help in the kitchen too. As an old woman, I can only do some work in the canteen!"

"Comrade Zhang Xiaohua, you want to take over Qin Huairu's job, that's fine. But your salary can only be that of an apprentice!"

"impossible!"

"I have a grandson and a granddaughter to raise. How can I raise them with fourteen dollars a month?"

"Leader, my son died because of our steel mill. You can't lose your conscience!"

As expected, Jia Zhang started to make a fuss.

When Shen Zhiping saw this scene, he glanced at Qin Huairu imperceptibly and saw a hint of sarcasm on Qin Huairu's face.

Well, Jia Zhang's behavior is really courting death!

"Director Yang, if there is nothing else, I will go back first!"

Although he really wanted to stay here and continue watching the show, in order to avoid being implicated, Shen Zhiping spoke decisively and prepared to leave.

"Oh, nothing happened. Thank you for taking Mr. Shen's trip!"

"Don't bother, it's all work!"

Shen Zhiping smiled, stood up and said goodbye.

"Director Yang, if there's nothing else, I'll go back too!"

Liu Haizhong followed suit and prepared to run away.

Unfortunately, his request was rejected by Director Yang.

"Master Liu, I heard that you are the head of your hospital. Regarding this matter, I may need to trouble you to do some ideological work on Comrade Zhang Xiaohua!"

Director Yang stopped Liu Haizhong and explained the reason why he kept him.

Hearing Director Yang say this, Liu Haizhong's face instantly turned bitter, and he said, "Director, if you want to talk about something else, Old Liu will definitely do it at the risk of his life!"

"But I can't do this!"

"Jia Zhang never listens to advice in our courtyard!" "It was only when Yi Zhonghai was the steward that he could control her."

Liu Haizhong was not afraid of being embarrassed, nor was he afraid that it would increase Director Yang's favorability towards Yi Zhonghai, so he just told the truth directly.

Liu Haizhong would not be stupid enough to care too much about Jia Zhang's affairs.

If Jia Zhang gets involved with him, how will his family be able to survive?
Director Yang didn't expect Liu Haizhong to be so straightforward. After listening to Liu Haizhong's words, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Yi Zhonghai.

At the same time, Director Yang recalled the situation when the Sha Zhu incident broke out a year ago.

Why did Sha Zhu bring vegetables back from the steel mill?

Initially, the factory took care of Sha Zhu because he had just started working, had low income, was young, and had to support his younger sister. But later, when Sha Zhu grew up and had a higher salary, this kind of care should stop.

Who would have thought that Sha Zhu not only did not stop, but became even worse. He no longer took leftovers, but shared them in half with the factory leaders.

The purpose is to take care of the Jia family.

Can a young man really have such a high level of awareness?
The most important thing is that Jia Dongxu was still alive at that time and his salary was higher than that of Sha Zhu.

So, why does Sha Zhu take care of the Jia family? Is he really doing good deeds?
Director Yang felt that he had uncovered the truth!

After all, Sha Zhu is now married to Jia Dongxu's widow.

What a bunch of bullshit!
Director Yang suddenly became very irritable and didn't want to bother with Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu. But as the director, he had no choice but to face the situation.

According to regulations, if Jia Zhang succeeds Qin Huairu, she must start as an apprentice.

But what Jia Zhang said about raising two children is also true.

Director Yang thought for a moment, and based on the principle that less trouble is worse than more, he decided to let the man off the hook, just as if he was doing some good things by living two more years.

"Zhang Xiaohua, considering your current situation, you are still an apprentice, but I will give you an extra 6 yuan subsidy, so your monthly salary will be 20 yuan!"

"If you have no questions, go and complete the employment formalities. If you still have questions, go and appeal to the higher authorities yourself!"

In order to make himself feel less upset, Director Yang decided to cut the Gordian knot and increase Jia Zhang's salary a little.

But if Jia Zhang doesn't know what's good for her, then he won't care.

Jia Zhang was a sensible person at this moment. After hearing what Director Yang said, she was very grateful and thanked him profusely, saying that she would go and handle the formalities right away.

Soon, the procedures were completed.

Jia Zhang became an apprentice in a steel rolling mill, but his salary was six yuan higher than that of an ordinary apprentice.

When Jia Zhang followed Sha Zhu to the cafeteria, everyone working there was in an uproar.

However, everyone was still polite and didn't say anything.

Qin Huairu married Sha Zhu, and Qin Huairu's ex-mother-in-law took over Qin Huairu's job. This is not a good gossip.

After all, Shazhu is not someone who is easy to talk to.

Jia Zhang entered the cafeteria and jumped up when Sha Zhu assigned her the task of washing vegetables.

"Silly Zhu, are you targeting me?"

"Why should I wash the vegetables?"

"With so many people here, why should I be the only one washing the vegetables?"

Jia Zhang firmly believed that she was being targeted by Sha Zhu, and that Sha Zhu asked her to do this to take revenge on her.

"Jia Zhang, if you don't wash the vegetables, what do you want to do?"

"Come on, tell me, what do you want to do in this cafeteria?"

Sha Zhu didn't quarrel with Jia Zhangshi, but looked at her calmly, "You say, choose for yourself!"

"I,……"

Jia Zhang was dumbfounded.

She doesn't even know what kind of work there is in the cafeteria, so how can she choose?
"If you don't choose, you will just do the work as you are told. If you don't work, I will tell the director that you refuse to work in the cafeteria!"

"Choose for yourself!"

Even though Sha Zhu is just an intern apprentice now, he still has a lot of say in the cafeteria thanks to his cooking skills.

A capable person has considerable authority in the field in which he is good at.

"You, tell me first, what kind of work does the cafeteria have?"

"Washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking, washing dishes and cleaning..."

After Jia Zhang asked the question, Sha Zhu remained calm and cooperated in explaining the work in the canteen.

"I, I choose cooking!"

"no!"

When Sha Zhu heard that Jia Zhang chose the job of cooking, he refused without even thinking.

"Why? Are you trying to bully me again? I'm telling you, this isn't a courtyard house, this is a factory. I can go to the factory director and sue you at any time!"

Jia Zhang was speaking with the power of others.

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "What's your level? Can you cook?"

“Do you know how to make a big pot dish?”

"Do you think the food cooked in the factory can be made by just tinkering with it at home?"

Sha Zhu glanced at Jia Zhang with disdain.

Naturally, Jia Zhang was not convinced.

In her opinion, is it difficult to cook a big pot dish?

Sha Zhu didn't let her do this, obviously because he was afraid that she would have too much free time and wanted to make things difficult for her.

"Silly Zhu, I've been cooking for half my life, and I'm telling you, you can't fool me."

“Isn’t it just a big pot of food?”

"I'm definitely not doing any worse than you!"

Jia Zhang is full of confidence.

Sha Zhu naturally disagreed.

So, the matter was brought to the attention of the canteen director.

The canteen director also didn't believe that Jia Zhang could cook a good big pot of food, but Jia Zhang was full of confidence and insisted that the canteen director and Sha Zhu were in cahoots and were working together to bully people.

The canteen director was so angry that he immediately said that if Jia Zhang couldn't make the big pot dish well, he would be kicked out of the canteen.

But even so, Jia Zhang was not afraid, but decided to face the challenge.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. Go make a big pot of food first. If you succeed, you will be the chef of the big pot in the cafeteria in the future!"

"But let me be frank. If you can't cook the big pot dish well, you will be responsible for the loss of the whole pot of food. And after you're done, you have to leave the cafeteria!"

The canteen director doesn't like Sha Zhu, but he dislikes Jia Zhang even more.

Jia Zhang was not afraid at all.

Soon, when the kitchen helpers in the canteen finished cutting the vegetables, Jia Zhang stood in front of the stove. She was stunned when she saw the large basin of cabbage and potatoes and the large spatula in front of her.

Is this big pot of food so big?
"Come on, show it!"

The canteen director looked at Jia Zhang with an unfriendly expression and asked her to take the lead.

At this moment, Jia Zhang became very willing to accept defeat and admitted defeat directly.

"Who is that? Yes, it's you. Go to the HR department and tell them that Zhang Xiaohua can't work in our cafeteria and ask them to assign her another job!"

The canteen director is also a ruthless person.

After Jia Zhang voluntarily admitted defeat, he did not even bother to let the other party go. Instead, he called on the people in the cafeteria to notify personnel to clear Jia Zhang out of the cafeteria.

How could Jia Zhang be willing to be kicked out of the cafeteria?
She was also thinking about eating more in the cafeteria!
