Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Each person was given 10 cents. For the workers in the front line, the worst that could happen was that they would just delay the work for a few minutes. They were happy to do so for 10 cents.

After spending nearly twenty yuan, Yi Zhonghai entered the security department as he wished and met the security chief Fang Wei.

"Chief Fang, I would like to visit He Yuzhu. Could you please make some arrangements?"

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he placed a box of Daqianmen on the table and pushed it over. Fang Wei took it and opened it. In addition to cigarettes, there were also two large black ten-cent notes.

"You can visit, but according to the rules, we have to check everything brought in to prevent anyone from bringing in any contraband. What's in this lunch box?"

"Chief Fang, there is nothing contraband in here. I just made food for He Yuzhu because I was worried that he would be hungry."

It was normal for people who were detained by the Security Department to have their family or friends bring them food, but this time Fang Wei's face darkened and he slammed the cigarette box on the table.

"Master Yi, you want to visit He Yuzhu. You can go in, but you can't bring his lunch box. Our director has said that during the seven days He Yuzhu is in prison, he can't be given a single steamed bread or a single pickled vegetable. Just two bowls of water a day is enough."

"Chief Fang, isn't this too much? If you don't give people food for seven days, won't they starve to death?"

Fang Wei sneered and said sarcastically:

"He, the chef, will suffer from hunger, but the workers won't?"

"Our director said that this kid stole the workers' food and left them hungry. So the best punishment for him is to let him starve and let him experience the workers' feelings."

"If you are not satisfied, you can report it to any government office in the country. I don't believe that any government office would dare to make a decision for a bastard who makes workers starve!"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless

Let's not talk about the difficulty of suing officials. Just the fact that Sha Zhu withheld people's food is unreasonable to report to any government office in the country. If he really dares to report it, it would be like an old man eating arsenic and being tired of living.

Yi Zhonghai's usual moral blackmail was useless in the security department. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and took out thirty yuan, and pushed it over with the big front door on the table.

"Chief Fang, legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. Zhuzi has truly realized his mistakes. Please be flexible and give him a chance to reform. This is known to all. Do you think it's okay?"

Fang Wei said coldly:

"I don't think so. Rules are rules. Either you put the lunch box down and go in, or you get out with the lunch box. There is no third way."

"Hurry up, don't delay the work of the Security Department"

Yi Zhonghai felt that he and the Security Department were really at odds. He was scolded by the director yesterday and the section chief today.

But there was no other way. Under Fang Wei's urging, Yi Zhonghai decided to meet Sha Zhu first.

Fang Wei asked someone to take Yi Zhonghai to the detention room. Of course, he left all the cigarettes and money behind.

Fang Wei counted the money and said disdainfully:

"You brainless thing, I've already told you that the order was personally issued by the director, and you still want me to be flexible. Who are you, Yi Zhonghai, that you would make me offend the director to help you? And you're just taking a few dozen dollars, and you're making me, the section chief, feel like I'm short of those few dozen dollars. Who are you looking down on?"

"Do you really think that section chiefs are not cadres?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't know that he would be scolded even though he gave money to her. Maybe he was just a jerk.

The security guard brought Yi Zhonghai to the detention room. When he arrived, Sha Zhu was not tortured. He was just lying on a bare wooden bed in the detention room with his eyes closed, looking like he was sleeping.

It's not that the security department let him off, it's mainly because it's lunchtime and the security guards also need to eat. Several brothers are eating and drinking in the lounge next door.

Besides, the Security Department will not let anything happen to Sha Zhu. After all, there are so many workers queuing outside. If anything happens to Sha Zhu, how will the security department make money from so many workers?

The security department has been relying on Chef He for their food and drink recently, so can we say that Chef He is a criminal? He is clearly the God of Wealth.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know this and shouted inside

"Zhu Zi, Zhu Zi wake up, I'm here to see you!"

Chapter 30 Sha Zhu: Fake! They must all be fake!

"Pillar! Pillar!"

Yi Zhonghai shouted several times before Sha Zhu opened his eyes with difficulty.

Seeing that familiar and kind face, Shazhu almost cried

"Uncle, you are finally here..."

"Did Director Yang ask you to come and rescue me so I can go out?"

Yi Zhonghai froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Then he noticed Sha Zhu's look and was startled.

"Zhu Zi, why are you like this?"

The original Shazhu, although prematurely aged, looks like a man in his 40s or 50s, but because he is a cook, he never loses out on food, his face is full of flesh, and his overall spirit is still good.

How come after just one night, Shazhu's cheeks and eye sockets have sunken a lot, and he looks like he has lost a lot of weight?

He was tortured like this in just one night. If he were to be locked up for a week, how much of Shazhu's life would be left?

Sha Zhu's eyes were filled with tears, and he said angrily:

"Uncle! They... those bastards from the security department won't let me sleep!"

"They even hung me up so that I couldn't stand up or squat down. It felt like all the bones in my body were about to fall apart!"

"Uncle! Let me out now! I must kill these bastards!"

"Zhuzi, you..."

Yi Zhonghai knew that he had no way to save Sha Zhu. When he heard Sha Zhu say that, he hurried to stop him, but it was too late. Fang Qiang in the lounge had heard the noise and came over with a stick, banging on the wall of the detention room.

"Damn it! Who do you want to kill? Get one and show it to me!"

As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth. If you want to prevent Shazhu from causing trouble with his foul mouth, you should get some poison to make him mute.

Sha Zhu looked at Fang Qiang, who had attacked him most ruthlessly, and said angrily:

"I'm going to kill you, okay? That bastard surnamed Bai is nothing special. Director Yang will definitely not let you go!"

"Fuck you! You bastard, you dare to scold our director? I will kill you!"

Yi Zhonghai saw Fang Qiang was about to go in with a stick and beat someone up, so he quickly tried to stop him.

"You can't abuse lynching!"

"Lynching? Old man, watch what you say. When did I lynch you? Did you see it?"

As soon as Fang Qiang spoke, the other security guards said in unison: "We didn't see it!"

Don't you see where you are? This is the Security Department's territory. The security guards are all in a group. Do you still want to criticize the Security Department? Isn't that like "Who in the hall is suing me?" It's so funny.

Looking at the burly, unfriendly security guards, Yi Zhonghai decisively chose to follow his heart.

Sha Zhu thought he could get out thanks to Director Yang's connections, and he shouted in the detention room: "These bastards are wearing dog skins and think they are toys! Uncle, please let me out quickly, let's go to Director Yang, I want to sue them!!"

"Hahahaha! This guy is such an idiot! The announcement of his dismissal has already been made, and he still thought Director Yang would save him!"

The guards burst into laughter.

Sha Zhu's eyes were red, and he grabbed the railing of the detention room and roared:

"I don't believe it! You must have lied to me! Director Yang likes my craftsmanship so much, he will never fire me! You must have lied to me about that broadcast!"

"Uncle! Hurry up and tell me! That broadcast must be fake, right!?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless and didn't know how to tell the emotional Sha Zhu.

Fang Qiang grabbed Yi Zhonghai and sneered:

"What kind of uncle are you? Come on, tell this idiot whether the broadcast is real or not. Don't make it seem like our security department is willing to deceive a fool."

Yi Zhonghai was at a loss, sweating all over his head, and didn't know what to say

Fang Qiang's expression became serious, and he used his guard stick to push Yi Zhonghai: "Why, do you also think that our security department is lying? This is an unwarranted accusation against the security department. We cannot bear this kind of grievance. I'm afraid I have to ask you to stay in the security department for two days to be investigated."

Yi Zhonghai was shocked. Sha Zhu was so strong, but he was tortured into this state in one night. His old bones could not withstand the means of the Security Department.

"No, no, no! I definitely didn't say that the Security Department lied, Zhuzi! That broadcast was real, you were really fired."

When Sha Zhu heard Yi Zhonghai say this, his head buzzed, and all the blood in his body rushed to his brain. The veins on his forehead bulged.

"No! I don't believe Director Yang will fire me!!"

"Where's grandma?! Grandma is still here. She saved Director Yang before. Director Yang will definitely give her face!"

"I may not be fired! It must be fake!"

"You are all lying to me!!"

Sha Zhu yelled like a madman. No matter how stupid or muddleheaded he was, he knew that being fired from a company in this era was a big deal. It would leave a permanent stain on his file. No matter how good his skills were, he would never be able to find a decent job again.

Without a job, how can he get married? How can he support Sister Qin?

Without a salary, how can he marry a wife and support Sister Qin at the same time?

Fake! This must be fake!

"This idiot has a problem with his brain, but he is quite strong. He still has the energy to do this after such a short time."

Fang Qiang sneered and pushed Yi Zhonghai

"Go, go, go, hurry up, the Security Department needs to do something"

"Ah? I just got here and haven't spoken to him yet."

"You've seen it all, you've said it all, what else is there to see? Do you think our security department is a guesthouse? I'm letting you stay here for an indefinite period of time? Get out of here right away if you have nothing to do, or I'll arrest you for obstructing public service!"

The Security Department holds the gun, so they have such a bad temper.

Especially since Fang Qiang has his cousin Fang Wei, who is the head of the security department and in charge of the factory discipline, even the director of the production department has to give him some face. Yi Zhonghai is just a worker who doesn't even have an administrative position. How can he be qualified to ask for face from Fang Qiang in the security department?

Yi Zhonghai paid a few dozen dollars and a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, but he didn't accomplish anything except watching Shazhu go crazy, and was kicked out by the security department.

After being kicked out, Yi Zhonghai was angry and depressed, but there was nothing he could do. After thinking for a while, Yi Zhonghai returned to the workshop, asked for leave from the workshop director Guo Dapiezi, and then went directly back to the courtyard to ask the old deaf man to come.

I just hope the security department can take care of Sha Zhu for the sake of the old deaf man, otherwise this matter is not over.

Chapter 31 Don’t you have any gratitude towards your country?

Yi Zhonghai rushed back to the courtyard and told the old deaf man about Sha Zhu's miserable condition in the security department. The old deaf man couldn't sit still after hearing it.

"Xiao Yi! Hurry up and carry me to the steel mill!"
