I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

Zhou Weiguo was measuring the newly completed SVD receiver in the workshop. Currently, all parts of the SVD except for the spring and scope have been manufactured. Recently, Dashan and Erniu's skills have improved by leaps and bounds, especially Erniu, who is exceptionally talented. Under Zhou Weiguo's skill enhancement and strict guidance, his skills improve every day. In his opinion, Erniu is almost at the level of a Level 4 craftsman, and Dashan will have no problem getting a Level 3 craftsman certification.

While he was busy, someone suddenly called him. Zhou Weiguo turned around and saw that it was Li Huaide. He quickly signaled to the comrade guarding the gate to let him through.

Li Huaide rushed in, panting. Zhou Weiguo asked with a smile, "Brother Li, what's got you in such a hurry?"

Li Huaide paused for a while before saying, "Brother, I have something to tell you. Yang Weimin suddenly came to me just now, saying that He Yuzhu brought lunchboxes home without permission, which is embezzlement of state assets, and asked me to warn him. He also wants to use my connections to get a house for Yi Zhonghai. Isn't that strange? I'm completely baffled, so I came to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weiguo was taken aback. Did Yang Weimin not know about his relationship with Zhuzi? Or was it because he held a grudge against him that he deliberately made Zhuzi stupid? After thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. The most likely scenario was that the deaf old lady went to find Yang Weimin, but did not say the whole story.

"So, Brother Li, you've agreed?"

Li Huaide looked incredulous: "How is that possible? I made up an excuse to get by, that's why I came to ask you what's really going on."

Zhou Weiguo then recounted the conflict between Zhu Zi, Jia Zhangshi, and Jia Dongxu.

After listening, Li Huaide burst into laughter: "Both Yi Zhonghai and Yang Weimin are dim-witted and did incredibly stupid things. Especially Yang Weimin, everyone in the factory knows that He Yuzhu gives him special treatment, and he's trying to frame his own people over something like this? He must be out of his mind."

Zhou Weiguo said, "He was probably used by someone. That person probably didn't mention me, otherwise I don't think Yang Weimin would be so brainless as to knowingly cause trouble for me when he knew I was not someone to be trifled with."

Li Huaide became interested and hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you planning to do? I'll cooperate with you!"

"Don't worry about things in the hospital, I'll handle that. Check if there are any officials in the logistics department who are Yang Weimin's men. Have that person announce in public that Zhu Zi has been suspended and sent home to await investigation."

"Huh? Dude, you're kidding, right?"

Zhou Weiguo laughed and said, "What are you talking about! People from the Ministry of Metallurgy, the First Ministry of Machine Building, and the Second Ministry of Machine Building are coming to the factory tomorrow to discuss cooperation. Engineer Song just told me this morning. Sha Zhu isn't here; I wonder how they'll manage their meal. By the way, who does Zhu usually cook special meals for at the factory? Do you eat a lot?"

Li Huaide laughed and said, "It must be Old Yang! Who else would dare to come openly? I always just tag along for a free meal. The last time I treated you was the first time I properly hosted a dinner at Xiaozhao. A few times before, I brought my own ingredients and gave your nephew 2 yuan each time as a tip."

"That's good! Remember to spread some rumors in the factory, saying that Sha Zhu cooked special meals for Yang Weimin for several years without taking a penny of compensation, and always brought home some leftovers. As a result, Yi Zhonghai bullied Zhu, the family member of a martyr, in the courtyard, and Zhu called the police and Yi Zhonghai was arrested. But Yang Weimin, in order to force Zhu to drop the case, used the lunchbox incident as an excuse, threatening to sue him for embezzling state assets and fire him if Zhu didn't drop the case. It would be best to spread these words to the ears of the leaders of those departments when they come to visit."

Li Huaide looked at Zhou Weiguo with a look of horror and exclaimed, "Brother, your move was too ruthless! If this gets out, Yang Weimin's image in the factory will be completely ruined. I've been trying to win over his people recently, and if this gets out, he'll be in big trouble."

Zhou Weiguo's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he said in a relaxed tone, "This is nothing. Tomorrow I'll make that old bastard Yang Weimin really shine. Oh, and here's a box of this stuff for you, try it out when you get home."

As he spoke, he casually handed over a box with the words "Wei Ge" printed on it.

Li Huaide took the box with a puzzled look. Besides the two large characters "Brother Wei," there was no other information on it. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what's this?"

Zhou Weiguo explained with a smile, "Take one half an hour before doing your business, and the effect is guaranteed to be amazing. But don't overdo it; five or six times a month is enough. Taking too much will harm your health."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide's eyes widened, as if he were looking at a fellow traveler.

This reaction infuriated Zhou Weiguo, who waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, alright, get back to work!"

Li Huaide then beamed and ran off.

To be fair, Li Huaide was indeed reliable. In less than half an hour, He Yuzhu came over with a dark face.

The security guard at the gate knew he was Zhou Weiguo's eldest nephew, so he didn't bother to stop him.

As soon as Sha Zhu walked in, he angrily complained, "Uncle! Yang Weimin messed with me! Just because I brought lunchboxes, he suspended me from my job, saying he's pending an investigation. Especially that deputy director of the cafeteria, he used to try and get on my good side, wanting me to cook for his son's banquet. Pah! Does he even deserve to eat my cooking?"

Zhou Weiguo, however, remained calm and cheerfully said, "Don't be so smug. I had Li Huaide handle the matter of suspending you."

These words completely baffled Sha Zhu. After a long pause, he stammered, "Why? Uncle, if I did something wrong, you can hit me or scold me, but why suspend me? I still have to support Yu Shui..."

"Alright, alright, enough nonsense. There's a reason for suspending you, don't worry, it's definitely not a bad thing."

"I guess the deaf old lady approached Yang Weimin, and that guy, without understanding the situation, became the one to stick his neck out."

...........

These past few days have been incredibly agonizing for Jia Dongxu. One misfortune after another has befallen his family; Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi have both been arrested. When he learned that Bang Geng had become a "lone hero," he was completely stunned, and a surge of hatred for Sha Zhu and Zhou Weiguo welled up within him.

But without the protection of his master and mother, this cowardly mama's boy only dared to harbor resentment in his heart and didn't have the guts to cause trouble for them.

Just now, news suddenly spread in the workshop that He Yuzhu had been punished.

Jia Dongxu didn't take it seriously at first. In his opinion, Sha Zhu was not very bright and was often punished for trivial matters.

Just then, Liu Haizhong slowly walked up to him, carrying a teacup, and asked, "Dongxu, how are your master and your mother?"

Jia Dongxu was completely bewildered and shook his head helplessly.

Liu Haizhong muttered, "Your second uncle came to see you out of pity, and this is your attitude? I was even thinking of telling you the good news that Sha Zhu is going to be fired."

"Huh? Who got fired?" Jia Dongxu was stunned.

"Silly Zhu! He embezzled state funds, and Director Yang wants to fire him! It's obvious this kid accidentally offended a leader. Remember, you must be observant when you see us leaders, and go fill up my water bottle!"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
