Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

I will definitely not give myself a single penny after I go back.

In the Liu family, every penny is carefully counted and absolutely cannot be spent casually.

"You unfilial son, it's so hard to get you to pay my fees. Fine, I'll pay them myself."

Liu Haizhong also knew that now was not the time to dwell on the hospital.

We need to get back to the factory quickly and ask Section Chief Wang what's going on.

The compensation hasn't been received yet; they've only returned the money they bribed Section Chief Wang.

For the medical treatment and hospitalization, Section Chief Wang only paid one hundred yuan.

I absolutely must get my money back; I can't afford to lose out.

The most important thing is the two months' salary that was withheld; we have to find a way to get it back from Section Chief Wang.

Otherwise, I don't know how my family would survive these two months alone.

We arrived at the payment window.

The cashier glanced at the bill and handed it to Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong's eyes widened when he saw the bill; he couldn't believe the payment slip in his hand.

"What?! I've only been in the hospital for a few days, and you're already charging me a hundred yuan? This hospital is a black-hearted place! Go call the inspection team over. I'm going to give your hospital a good dressing down. I've only been here a few days, and you're already charging me so much!"

Liu Hai was furious and embarrassed.

“This patient, the bill clearly states that the injections you need to take every day are all imported from abroad and are quite expensive. Add to that the hospitalization fees and the cost of accompanying care, and this amount of money is quite normal.”

The toll collector maintained his professional demeanor and did not get angry.

On the contrary, Liu Haizhong looked at the list in his hand and was furious.

Chapter 135 A Humiliating Setback

Seeing that things didn't quite add up, Liu Guangqi quickly turned around and walked outside.

When Liu Haizhong saw that his son was about to leave, there was nothing he could do.

He pulled a crumpled hundred-yuan bill from his pocket.

It was violently slammed onto the payment window.

"You heartless hospital, just you wait. Once I'm done with this, I'll be back and demand an explanation."

Liu Haizhong continued to hurl insults.

Outside the hospital.

"What happened these past few days? If you don't explain it to me clearly, how am I supposed to go back and ask the leaders?"

"I'm getting annoyed," Liu Haizhong asked irritably.

"You're still asking me? Look at all the mess you've made! We could have settled this privately and neither of us would have been punished. But now, we've lost two months' salary. Are we even going to get through the New Year?"

Liu Guangqi's temper flared up as well.

Everyone knows that things like bribery are done secretly and discreetly, without anyone saying a word.

Even if I don't become the section chief this time, I'll have another chance next time.

There's no need to offend a section chief over this.

Now most people in the factory know that Liu Guangqi wants to buy an official position.

Now that's the case, who would dare to take a single penny from me?

If I were to continue working in the steel rolling mill, who knows when I'd ever get ahead?

All of this was caused by Liu Haizhong's anger, an irreversible consequence.

Liu Guangqi had been holding back his anger, and today, upon arriving at the hospital and seeing his father in this state, he felt a surge of resentment.

He was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger in the hospital. Once he left the hospital, he couldn't hold back his temper any longer.

"You're blaming me now? If I hadn't given you that hundred yuan, where would you have gotten the money to bribe someone? What's wrong with getting that money back? The most important thing right now is to ask the leaders where Section Chief Wang is and get the money back for his hospital stay."

On the street, a scene of filial piety between father and son was unfolding.

It also drew the attention of passersby, who were surprised that the relationship between father and son could turn out like this in this day and age.

It's ridiculous that something as ugly as this could happen because of money.

On the way to the steel rolling mill, Liu Guangqi told Liu Haizhong everything that had happened during this period.

Inside the steel rolling mill, in Director Yang's office.

"Director Yang, you have to help me! It's all because of that Section Chief Wang that I've been hospitalized for so long. Now I've even had to pay out of pocket a hundred yuan, and my salary has been docked. How am I supposed to feed my family?"

Liu Haizhong cried out.

"Liu Haizhong, I'm only sparing your job because you're a veteran of the steel rolling mill. You'd better not push your luck. Don't mention Section Chief Wang's matter again. If you want to go find him, go ahead."

Factory Director Yang is currently in a terrible predicament, as he has also been implicated in Section Chief Wang's matter.

He was still under investigation and suspended from his duties during this period, and he was still thinking about it in the office.

How can we clear our name about this?

Who knew that Liu Haizhong would push open the door and come in, crying and complaining to her, while looking completely innocent.

If it weren't for Liu Haizhong's attempt to buy his way into a higher position, I wouldn't have acted so close to Section Chief Wang at the factory.

Now things are really messed up; the higher-ups have already asked me several times about Section Chief Wang.

She was so overwhelmed and constantly on edge that she had no time to care about her bangs.

"Factory manager, if you don't want to get involved in this matter, then tell me where Section Chief Wang went after he was fired. I'll go to his door to ask for the money."

Liu Haizhong persisted in his insistence.

"Liu Guangqi, take your father and leave my office immediately. Don't disturb my work anymore."

Factory Director Yang really didn't want to continue arguing with Liu Haizhong, so he immediately told him to leave.

Liu Guangqi had no choice but to pull Liu Haizhong along and quickly leave Director Yang's office, closing the door behind them.

When Liu Haizhong returned, he was met with a rebuff.

All I wanted was to get the money back from the hospital, but I didn't expect even the factory manager to ignore it.

Now look what's happened, we've truly lost both our wife and our army.

I received injections at the hospital for several days, but they had no effect whatsoever, and I wasted so much money.

Now, Section Chief Wang has disappeared without a trace, completely vanished from the steel rolling mill.

Finding someone in the vast sea of ​​people is so difficult, especially with the underdeveloped transportation.

"Dad, we're like swallowing a bitter pill in this situation, we can't say anything about it. Let's not ask about so many things anymore. It's already not easy to keep our jobs at the steel rolling mill."

"If you anger Director Yang again, he might fire us, and our whole family will be starving."

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

Liu Guangqi knows very well that it's already a great achievement for him to have this job.

Although it's just an internship, it's still a job that pays.

Once I get a permanent position, I can save some money every month, which I can use to get married.

If my dad keeps making trouble like this, and I lose my secure job, I'll have nowhere to turn for help.

It's just a matter of suffering for two months now, which means this year won't be easy.

But thinking about all the days ahead, there's no need to make a big fuss about this.

But Liu Haizhong doesn't think that way at all.

"No, we absolutely cannot let this matter go so easily. We have to get the money back from them. Your position was taken by Xu Damao, right?"

.... . 0

Liu Haizhong asked.

"Yes, I didn't expect Xu Damao to want this position too. Maybe he bribed us with more money. He's not working at the steel mill now, he's working at the film studio."

"I don't know why, I just heard that he will be transferred here after the New Year."

Liu Guangqi said angrily.

I had already reserved this spot, but Xu Damao snatched it away halfway through.

Now look what's happened! The money's gone, and I haven't even become a section chief; I'm still just an intern worker.

Liu Guangqi was also very angry about this matter.

However, as long as his father doesn't mention Section Chief Wang again in public.

Don't provoke the factory manager and the others again.

At the very least, we should keep our jobs first.

Besides working in a steel rolling mill, where else can you find such high wages?

“Alright, since Director Yang and the others aren’t going to interfere, let’s start with Xu Damao. Since he’s still working at the screening venue, he’ll definitely still be showing films. Seeing how much money he has, it must be ill-gotten gains. Let’s rob the rich to help the poor.”
