The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 125: Yi Zhonghai's Attack
As the year draws to a close, the steel mill has been quite busy recently. A new batch of work has suddenly been assigned to us. The number is not large, but it is quite complicated and requires eighth-level workers to do it.

However, there were only a few level eight workers in the entire steel rolling mill, and Yi Zhonghai saw the gap and thought it was an opportunity to save his face.

This time, he tried his best. Maybe he had passed the eighth-level worker assessment, so he had some water in his skills, but Yi Zhonghai was a person who wanted to improve. After passing the assessment, he continued to study over the years and was still quite capable.

After two days of exploration, Yi Zhonghai put forward his own unique insights and made great contributions to the processing of new parts. The steel rolling mill finally completed the task with guaranteed quality and quantity.

Li Huaide scratched his head in annoyance: "Hua Zi, Yi Zhonghai did make a significant contribution this time. Logically, he should at least be commended in a notice, but I also know that you don't like him, so..."

Liu Hua waved his hand and said, "I will praise them if they are due. I will not go against the organizational procedures. No matter how big a personal matter is, it is still a small matter. No matter how small a public matter is, it is still a big matter."

"Oh." Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction: "You are definitely very conscious. You haven't joined the organization yet, right? I will let our factory branch work hard to develop you now."

Just 20 years old, Liu Hua was not a standout in high school, and it was not his turn to be recruited as a high school student by the organization, so Liu Hua is still a glorious member of the League.

"Really? It's such an honor." Liu Hua said with a smile, "I will be more strict with myself in the future and be a person who is beneficial to the country and the people."

That day, the steel rolling mill's loudspeakers broadcast a nod of praise for Yi Zhonghai. Although people in the workshop didn't like him very much, he brought honor to the workshop after all, and everyone symbolically applauded Yi Zhonghai a few times.

Yi Zhonghai was very humble and bowed to the people in the workshop. After returning home that night and having dinner, he sat at the table and smoked one cigarette after another.

"Boss, what are you worried about?" Aunt Yi asked puzzledly: "Is it still about the issue of old-age care? If it were you, I would say we should just adopt one."

As a man who is calculating a lot, Yi Zhonghai would never feel comfortable adopting one.

Monk Foyin once said that for those who have Buddha in their hearts, everything they see is Buddha; for those who have feces in their hearts, everything they see is feces. Yi Zhonghai is a person who has ghosts in his heart, so everything he sees is ghosts.

"What do you know as a woman? If you are tired, just go to sleep. I have something else to think about."

Yi Zhonghai felt the long-lost respect in the applause today. Although he knew that others' applause was only symbolic, he had not felt this kind of symbolic respect for a long time.

Today's incident seemed to have opened his brain, and he suddenly understood everything. He originally just wanted to change the impression of himself among his colleagues, but he didn't expect to receive praise from the factory. If such praises were heard from time to time in the future, it would probably completely change his reputation.

Yi Zhonghai put out his last cigarette and made a plan. For the sake of his own retirement cause, from today on, he would be a good man, a selfless man who did good things.

Although doing good deeds with ulterior motives is despised, if a person is hypocritical enough to persist in doing good deeds all his life, as long as it does not cause any serious consequences, then we can judge him by his deeds rather than his heart.

After deciding to leave work, Yi Zhonghai gradually became active in the workshop. Although no one was willing to be his apprentice, Yi Zhonghai began to gradually teach the young workers around him how to use their skills. And this time he was completely unreserved, teaching as much as he could, and patiently breaking down and breaking things down, so that these low-level workers could master the skills.

Director Zhou was a little confused. Yi Zhonghai had made a 180-degree turn. Given his calculating personality, why did he do all this? Was he trying to steal his position as director?
Liu Hua is now a technical engineer. According to convention, he no longer needs to go to the workshop every day for routine maintenance. However, he inherited Ma Yushan's good habits and still goes to each workshop every day to understand the use of the lathes and have a clear idea of the situation.

As soon as I arrived at the third workshop, Director Zhou dragged me to his office.

"Old Zhou, what's the matter? Why are you so sneaky?" Liu Hua said jokingly, "Could it be that Director Li has eliminated your position as workshop director?"

"How is that possible? I have worked diligently for so many years. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. What's more, I have made many contributions."

Liu Hua nodded: "Then, what do you want to do by sneaking me into the office?"

"Let's talk about something."

Director Zhou looked outside. At that moment, Yi Zhonghai was amiably instructing a second-level worker in processing parts. He would gesture from time to time and looked like he was never tired of teaching.

"Did you see that?" Director Zhou pointed at Yi Zhonghai and said, "This guy has changed his personality in the past few days. He has spared no effort in teaching the low-level workers how to use their skills. All those who have accepted his guidance have made significant progress in their skills."

"Isn't this a good thing? The strength of your third workshop has increased, and you will be able to stand up to Director Li more confidently in the future."

Director Zhou shook his head: "As the old saying goes, there must be something fishy when things are out of the ordinary. There is also a saying that goes, the weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken with bad intentions. I am a little confused about him now. What do you think Yi Zhonghai is going to do?"

Liu Hua shook his head: "Who knows? Maybe the praise from the past two days stimulated him and he wanted to restore his lost reputation."

"That makes sense." Director Zhou nodded. "I've been suspicious these past two days. I've been wondering if this guy wants to take my position as director."

"He doesn't even have an administrative position, yet he wants to be the director." Liu Hua shook his head. "Besides, a stain will always be a stain, it can't be washed away. Although people may choose to forget it, it will not disappear from the archives. The subdistrict office remembers his incident clearly."

Director Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, since he is willing to do it, I will let him do it. Anyway, it will increase the strength of my third workshop, so why not do it?"

"That's right, relax." Liu Hua said with a smile: "This guy has never thought about becoming an official. What he is most worried about now is how to support himself after retirement. Not having children is still his pain point. I don't mind him doing this in the factory, but I'm afraid that this old guy will bring this evil wind to my yard. I'm afraid it will be lively again."
