Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Director Yang understood what Bai Wanli meant and immediately said, "It is right to punish the comrade who made the mistake. The steel mill will definitely impose a more severe punishment. Director Bai, please give him a chance to reform. What do you think?"

"Since Comrade Yang Guoming has said so, I feel embarrassed to keep him detained any longer. Let's have someone take Yi Zhonghai out later."

Director Yang was relieved to see that Bai Wanli was so easy to talk to this time. "Thank you Director Bai for your understanding."

After a while, a security guard walked out of Yi Zhonghai's detention room.

"Yi Zhonghai, you can go out now!"

"Ah?" Yi Zhonghai, who had just enjoyed a set of Su Qin's sword, had not yet reacted and looked a little confused.

Yi Zhonghai thought he would be locked up here for at least three to five days before he could be released.

"What? Why don't you get up? Are you a slut who likes to stay in the detention room? Get out of here right now, or you'll just stay here for the rest of your life!"

Yi Zhonghai was someone Bai Wanli personally ordered to be locked up, so the Security Department naturally couldn't be polite to this so-called old worker.

"Hey, I'll be right out. Ouch!"

Yi Zhonghai did not dare to talk back to the security department, and stood up with the help of the wall. However, the joints that had just been tortured by the Su Qin Back Sword were in great pain. Yi Zhonghai trembled against the wall, like a man in his seventies or eighties.

The security guard didn't help him and just watched Yi Zhonghai walk away.

After Yi Zhonghai slowly walked out of the detention room, the security guard lowered his voice and said

"Yi Zhonghai, our director asked me to tell you something. If you are not afraid of death, keep trying. I'll see when you can get rid of all the remaining Level 4 workers."

"Level 4!? How come my work level is only level 4?!"

Yi Zhonghai was horrified, but he didn't dare to ask questions to the fierce security guard, so he just kept his head down and walked forward.

When he got outside, Yi Zhonghai saw someone coming to pick him up. This person was Lin Hongqi, the secretary of Director Yang.

Secretary Lin greeted the security guard and then led Yi Zhonghai to Director Yang's office. On the way, Yi Zhonghai's joints still hurt badly. He wanted to ask Secretary Lin to slow down a few times, but seeing Secretary Lin's grim face, he never dared to say it.

When we arrived at Director Yang's office, we saw the new deaf man and the old lady inside.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't tell the difference between the new deaf man and the old deaf man, and thought: "It seems that the old lady interceded for me to be released early. It seems that supporting this old guy all these years is useful."

Director Yang was speaking to Bai Wanli in a friendly manner just now, but he was not in a good mood towards Yi Zhonghai.

"Master Yi, tell me what's wrong with you. You are an experienced worker in the factory, but why do you keep making mistakes? Tell me, are you worthy of the factory's training of you?"

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and dared not speak. Although this old man was a little too self-conscious, he also knew that it was useless to confess Wan Li's case to Director Yang.

Director Yang scolded him a few times: "Master Yi, since this is not the first time you have made a mistake, the factory will increase your punishment. Your work grade will be downgraded from level 6 to level 4, and you will be fined three months' salary. The factory will notify you of the punishment results later. I hope you can learn from it, don't make mistakes again, and make good contributions to the country."

With the security guard's warning, Yi Zhonghai had a vague feeling that his work grade would be downgraded again, but when he actually heard it, he still found it hard to accept.

Fourth-level worker Yi Zhonghai... Fourth-level worker Yi Zhonghai? !

He was originally a level 7 master, and he was very confident that he could pass the level 8 exam this year. As long as he became a level 8 worker, he would be one of the top fitters in the factory. At that time, the factory would pay more attention to him, and his position in the yard would be more stable. All of this would be beneficial to his retirement plan.

Now he has fallen from level 7 to level 4, his salary has been cut by half, and his status has plummeted. Now in the courtyard, not to mention Liu Haizhong, there are two other neighbors whose work levels are higher than his. How can he control the courtyard and build his own retirement palace in the future? !

Chapter 83 Jia Dongxu is sentenced

"Director Yang, I..."

Yi Zhonghai found it hard to accept that his retirement plan would be affected, and he tried to struggle, but the new deaf man hit him on the knee with his cane.

The new deaf man only has the appearance of an old man, but even if Bai Wanli did not set him to have the same fighting power as Lu Bu among humans, he still has the physical qualities of a strong young man.

The cane hit Yi Zhonghai's joints, which were still painful from Su Qin's sword-carrying attack. The deaf man's cane almost knocked him to his knees. Yi Zhonghai used all his strength to hold on, grimacing and unable to speak.

"Xiao Yang, we won't delay your work."

"Cui Lian, help Xiao Yi and let's go quickly."

The deaf man signaled the lady to take Yi Zhonghai away quickly, but Yi Zhonghai was still unwilling to do so. It was only after the deaf man glared at him that he temporarily calmed down.

After leaving Director Yang's office, Yi Zhonghai walked for a while with the help of Auntie Yi Zhonghai. The pain from the beating finally subsided. She complained with some dissatisfaction, "Old lady, why did you let me go?"

The deaf man glanced at him and said coldly:

"If I don't let you leave, do I want you to stay and make Xiao Yang angry? Can't you see that he is already annoyed with you, an old worker?"

"But I have to fight for it no matter what. I won't accept this! I have worked for the steel mill for so many years, and just because of Bai Wanli, my work grade has been demoted three levels in a row. I won't accept this!"

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fists, his eyes red as he growled.

"Even if you are unwilling, you have to endure it. How can you deal with Bai Wanli in your current state?"

"Don't you think about it carefully? No matter how powerful Bai Wanli is, you are still under the supervision of Xiao Yang, the factory director. If you offend Bai Wanli, he will make trouble for you and your life will be very difficult. But if you completely offend Xiao Yang, your life as a worker will be completely ruined and you won't be able to live a good life in the future."

"He is the factory director. After a while, when Xiao Yang has calmed down, if you work hard, you will have the opportunity to be promoted. If you offend Xiao Yang now, it will be impossible for you to get his attention in the future."

The deaf man's lecture finally sobered up Yi Zhonghai, who was so angry that he even lost his temper.

Thinking of the way Director Yang looked at him just now, Yi Zhonghai broke out in a cold sweat, and his soul was trembling. He was supported by an old lady and his body was shaking.

"You are right, old lady. I was too impulsive just now."

"It's good that you know you're wrong. Let's go back to the yard. We still have a lot to do."

Although Yi Zhonghai wanted to show off his skills as a master in front of Director Yang, the craftsmanship of the Security Department made his joints hurt so much that he had difficulty walking, let alone making workpieces. He didn't want to ruin a bunch of workpieces and make Director Yang even angrier, so he had to take a leave and go home to rest.

When they got closer to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai knew that most people were working in the factory, but he didn't want those unemployed women or children to see him unable to walk on his own. He pushed the old lady aside as if he had one foot in a coffin, endured the pain in his joints, and walked into the courtyard with his head held high.

"What on earth is this old fellow so proud of?"

After learning about Yi Zhonghai's desperate attempt to save face through the deaf man's mind sharing, Bai Wanli once again felt that he could not understand the mind of such a beast.

Just when Bai Wanli was thinking about whether to make a phone call to tease his girlfriend, the phone on his desk rang first.

"Hello, Wanli, it's me"

The voice coming from the other side was a familiar man's voice, not his beautiful object, which made Bai Wanli very disappointed.

"Wan Liu, what do you want from me? Is there a secret door to catch someone, or did you go to find the secret door yourself and get caught?"

"Bah! Can't you expect me to order something good? Also, it's working hours now, please call me Deputy Chief Bai. Forget it, why am I talking to a scoundrel like you? I just want to inform you of something. The gamblers you arrested last time included a guy named Jia Dongxu who lives in the same yard as you. The case has been sentenced."

"The verdict was made so quickly. The comrades in the judicial department are quite efficient, aren't they?"

"Hey, it's because this incident is so big. Someone fired a gun, and it also involved an old case of robbery and murder. The higher-ups treated it as a negative example. How could it not be fast?"

Bai Wanli was not surprised by this. The higher-ups also valued their lives. People like Niu Meng who fired shots in the city must be dealt with seriously to prevent the emergence of imitators.

"How much was the sentence? Let me just listen to it for fun."

Bai Wanliu announced the verdicts of all the people one by one. First, the leader Niu Meng was sentenced to death for gathering a crowd to gamble, illegally possessing a gun, murder and robbery.

Two of Niu Meng's gang members were sentenced to death like him, three were sentenced to life imprisonment, and the rest were sentenced to more than ten years. It was obvious that because Niu Meng was arrested as a negative example, his subordinates were also implicated and sentenced to heavy sentences.

The gamblers caught on the scene were also given heavier sentences than normal because this case was used as a negative example.

The least convicted gambler was sentenced to three years in prison, while most of the gamblers received sentences ranging from five to ten years.

These are ordinary gamblers, like Jia Dongxu and his group of big gamblers in the VIP room. Each of them brought at least 10 yuan, which is the salary of a worker for three years, to gamble. Most of them were sentenced to more than years.

It is worth mentioning that Jia Dongxu, although he did not bring the most gambling money among the VIPs, tried to escape with the money when the security department arrested him, and was extremely uncooperative in the investigation. He repeatedly argued and tried to evade legal sanctions. The court believed that he showed no remorse and the circumstances of the crime were serious. He was sentenced to an additional 12 years in prison for robbery, for a total of 23 years.

According to the original plot of Siheyuan, Jia Dongxu should have died in the factory this year. Being sentenced to so many years in prison certainly allowed Jia Dongxu to escape death, but when Jia Dongxu came out, he was already in his fifties. He must have lost his job after being sentenced.

What can an old man with no money, no job, and a criminal record do? His life will definitely be ruined.

Bai Wanli wouldn't be so bored as to deliberately want to see Jia Dongxu die in the workshop, and then use his connections to get him out. It's a waste of favors, right? If Jia Dongxu really wanted to die, it would be much easier to just say hello to the labor camp.

"This is probably the outcome of this matter. We will accompany our colleagues from the court to your yard to announce the verdict in a while. Do you want to go and see the excitement?"

"Me? Forget it. The worker made such a big mistake. The steel mill will have a meeting soon. I, the director, have to attend it."

The Jia family now only has Qin Huairu and two children. Jia Zhang has been detained temporarily. What's the point of just watching an old woman like Qin Huairu wiping tears? Bai Wanli thinks she is unlucky because she keeps wiping tears every day.

"By the way, let me remind you that when you go to our yard, it's best to bring two fierce female comrades with you."

"What?"

"You will know when the time comes. Just listen to me. I won't hurt you."

"Why don't I believe what you say? Okay, I get it. See you later."

Chapter 84: Steel Mill Meeting, Security Department's Position

The court quickly notified the steel mill where Jia Dongxu worked of the sentence. After the leadership of the steel mill learned of the incident, they immediately held a small meeting to discuss how to deal with Jia Dongxu.

All the workshop directors and above of the steel mill were present, including several canteen directors who had little to do with the matter.

It's called a meeting to discuss this, but in reality it's just a formality, because state-owned factories now have very clear attitudes towards firing workers.

Generally speaking, as long as workers have not violated the criminal law and have not been sentenced to labor reform, it is difficult for the factory to fire them. The procedures are very cumbersome and complicated.

But once you are sentenced to prison and become a labor camp inmate, with a criminal record, the factory will no longer show any mercy.

This was originally an internal issue of the steel mill. It didn't matter whether Bai Wanli, the director of the security department, came to the meeting or not.

But he was the one who arrested Jia Dongxu, so it's no problem for Bai Wanli to come and sit in on the trial.

Since Jia Dongxu has been sentenced, he will definitely be expelled. Neither Lao Li nor Lao Yang has any objection to this.

However, the two sides had differences on whether to provide certain care for Jia Dongxu's family.

What Lao Yang cares about is his reputation among the workers. However, Li Huaide is in charge of logistics, and the people on his side are basically purchasers and clerks in the logistics department. Therefore, he does not need to care about the reputation among the workers as much as Lao Yang does. In addition, as a political enemy, he naturally opposes anything that is beneficial to Lao Yang.

The two men and their men held their own opinions, but they could not suppress each other.

It was really boring to watch two middle-aged men quarreling with a group of people. Bai Wanli slapped Jia Dongxu's past punishment record in the security department on the table and ended the game directly.

A useless old second-level who set a record in the steel rolling mill. Not only did he not make much contribution to the factory, but he was also involved in all kinds of bad things, such as fighting, causing trouble, gambling, and laziness.

"If word gets out about helping a person like this take care of his family, won't everyone commit a crime?"

"If you don't get caught, you'll be rich and powerful. Even if you get caught, your family will be supported by the government, so you won't suffer much loss. Isn't this encouraging crime?"

The Security Department cannot interfere with the personnel management of the steel mill in name, but if you encourage crime, then I won't be sleepy.

If you, Old Yang, continue to do this and make all the workers in the factory think that the state will back them up and they start committing crimes, then won't our security department be exhausted?

Am I interfering in the internal affairs of the steel mill? I am preventing the spread of unhealthy practices and fighting crime at its source.
