The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 150 Technical Support

"Hua Zi."

Before Liu Haizhong could continue, Liu Hua turned around and closed the door. He smiled and said to his wife, "Tomorrow I will go find Li Huaide and give this bastard a good beating. He wants to step on me to climb up all day long. He doesn't deserve it."

Not long after work the next day, before Liu Hua went to find him, Li Huaide already knew about this matter. He did not ask Liu Hua, because if he did, it would seem that he was insincere.

He directly asked his secretary to notify the director of the forging workshop and asked him to send Liu Haizhong to the branch factory in the name of technical support.

The director of the forging workshop was confused. He didn't know about this yet. Liu Haizhong was the backbone of their forging workshop. If he was transferred away, how would they complete their future work?
"No, what does Director Li mean?" The workshop director asked the secretary in confusion: "Although Liu Haizhong has various problems, his skills are fine. If he is transferred away, our future production will fall behind."

"Last night, this old guy falsely accused Engineer Liu again." The secretary said bluntly, "This guy went to the street office to report Engineer Liu without knowing anything, saying that Engineer Liu's family was practicing feudal superstition. Now is the time. We are going to carry out major technological reforms this year. Engineer Liu is the backbone of the entire technological reform. Think about it, do you want to keep this person in your workshop?"

The workshop director gasped, "How dare this bastard do this? He made a false accusation. It's a good thing we didn't arrest him. Send him away quickly. We can't keep such a low-moral person in our workshop."

Liu Haizhong was still swinging the sledgehammer with all his might, and of course he was feeling agitated. What he feared the most was that if the radio sounded and his name was called out at this moment, how embarrassing that would be.

Unexpectedly, the radio did not sound, but someone called him in his ear. The deputy director of the forging workshop called him: "Liu Haizhong, stop working for a while. Our Dongjiao branch factory needs technical support. Go and support it for a while."

Liu Haizhong knew the Dongjiao branch, it was a place where troublemakers were placed. He was once sent there to help for three months. After he came back, he was extremely disdainful of the employees there.

There was no future, no skills, and no benefits. When Liu Haizhong was helping there, he felt that his status was extremely superior. He didn't expect that only a few years later, he would have to go to that place again.

Liu Haizhong wiped his sweat with a towel and asked, "Deputy Director Yu, how long will I be gone this time?"

The deputy director of the workshop is very annoyed by Liu Haizhong. It is true that he is the deputy director, but there is no need for him to remind himself verbally all the time. As long as others are not in front of the director, they will call him Director Yu. But Liu Haizhong is not tactful and insists on adding the word "deputy".

Deputy Director Yu shook his head: "I don't know. The factory office didn't give me any specific information. But I think, since you are going to help, you must be rooted in the East Suburbs Branch. When the main factory needs you, we will transfer you here?"

Liu Haizhong trembled and said, "Then I didn't go there to help. I was transferred there."

Director Yu said angrily: "What did you do? You don't know what you did. It's good enough that I didn't ask you to recite a big tune again."

Liu Haizhong even went to the workshop office to ask the workshop director to plead for him. The workshop director scolded him without any hesitation: "Liu Haizhong, you are so arrogant and scold this and that in the workshop every day. I don't care about these things. Now the factory director wants to transfer you. I don't have the face to do so. If you want to plead for mercy, go to the factory director yourself. But I advise you to leave obediently. The factory director would like to demote you by two levels. Don't make yourself unhappy."

As Liu Haizhong was leaving, the workshop director smiled and said, "Liu Haizhong, I'll give you a day off today. Please report to the Dongjiao branch on time tomorrow."

The people at the workstations near Liu Haizhong were whispering to each other. They had heard exactly what Director Yu had just said. Logically speaking, Liu Haidong taught his apprentices without reservation. Whenever someone asked him about technical problems, he would teach them everything he knew. He was not unpopular.

The key is that this guy always likes to act big. If he is not a leader, he has to pretend to be a leader with his hands behind his back, giving instructions on this and that. If you give instructions on the craftsmanship, everyone will naturally welcome you, but he wants to control everything. The worst thing is that he has no skills, so naturally his popularity is getting worse and worse.

Everyone watched Liu Haizhong staggering around to pack his things, but no one came forward to comfort him or help him. Most people were already fed up with him.

Several of Liu Haizhong's apprentices wanted to step forward to help, but after thinking for a while, they did not dare to take a step forward because Liu Haizhong had a bad temper. When these apprentices made any mistakes when learning from him or if Liu Haizhong was in a bad mood, he would scold and beat them.

Although the disciples were grateful to Liu Haizhong for teaching them skills and visited him and gave him gifts during festivals, these were all just courtesy. If it were really possible, they would really like to break up with him.

After returning home, he sat at home sulking. No matter how his wife asked him, he didn't answer. Instead, his face became darker and darker, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.

Liu Haizhong didn't say a word until the steel mill got off work. When Liu Guangtian went home after work, he was stopped outside the door by his mother.

"Your dad came back early this morning? He didn't say a word after he came back, and just sat there sulking. In broad daylight, do you know what's wrong with your dad?"

Liu Guangtian said expressionlessly, "What else can I do? He was retaliated against. Yesterday he reported Liu Hua, and today Director Li transferred him to the East Suburbs Branch."

"A branch factory."

Liu Guangtian nodded: "Okay, go and cook. I've been working all day and I'm almost starving."

Liu Guangtian walked into the room, picked up the teacup on the table and took a few sips. Liu Haizhong subconsciously wanted to pull his belt because he was extremely angry and wanted to vent his anger.

"Are you still going to hit me?" Liu Guangtian said nonchalantly, "It was Liu Hua who took revenge on you. If you have the ability, then go and take revenge on him."

Liu Haizhong seemed to be awakened. His hand holding the waistband loosened and he muttered to himself: "Yes, find Liu Hua. Only he can make Director Li change his mind."

Liu Haizhong walked to the closet, rummaged through the drawers, took out some money and tickets, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that one should not go to someone's house to ask for help empty-handed, so he went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two bottles of good wine, two packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, and some snacks.

When returning to the courtyard, Yan Fugui stood at the door, but ignored the things in Liu Haizhong's hand. He also knew that Liu Haizhong had been transferred, and he knew very well why Liu Haizhong was carrying these things at this moment, so he simply didn't say anything to avoid embarrassing himself.
