Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Bai Wanli's ability to put blame on others is still amazing. Even Director Wang broke out in a cold sweat.

Qin Huairu saw that Bai Wanli and Director Wang were determined to send her back to the countryside, and this time she really cried, with tears in her eyes.

"Uncle! Uncle! Please help me, I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back to the countryside!"

Although Yi Zhonghai knew that the current situation was completely beyond his control, Qin Huairu was his only hope for retirement. After struggling for a while, Yi Zhonghai still tried to speak:

"Director Bai, Director Wang, Qin Huairu has lived in the courtyard for so many years. Do you think it's possible..."

"Stop!" Bai Wanli interrupted Yi Zhonghai's nonsense. "I haven't moved into this yard for long, and I'm not familiar with Qin Huairu. After tomorrow, Qin Huairu will no longer be a resident of this yard. No matter in the past or in the future, there will be no neighborly feelings between her and me."

"And as government officials, Director Wang and I are more likely to obey the law than talk about neighborliness."

"If you don't understand the law, just shut up and live your life honestly. Don't always try to use your twisted logic to demand things of others!"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless after being scolded by Bai Wanli, and Bai Wanli looked at the other people in the courtyard.

"Since Yi Zhonghai has mentioned this, I would also like to ask for your opinions, so that no one will accuse me of being a one-man show and ignoring the opinions of the masses."

"If Qin Huairu has no place to live in the courtyard in the future, raise your hand if you are willing to lend your house to Qin Huairu temporarily and let her stay as a neighbor."

The courtyard was completely silent, not even one person raised their hand.

Bai Wanli and the new deaf man had the same thoughts. He knew exactly what happened in the yard today. These residents originally wanted to drive away all the troubles of the Jia family. Bai Wanli even added a special clause of "lending out their own houses". It would be a miracle if they agreed.

The only fool who was willing to lend out his house is now under investigation by the street office.

Even Yi Zhonghai, who had just claimed to support Qin Huairu, did not raise his hand under this silent pressure.

"Then raise your hands if you agree that Qin Huairu should move out of the courtyard and be sent back to Qinjia Village."

Wow! A lot of hands were raised instantly, there was no need to count them

"In this case, sending Qin Huairu back to her hometown and Qinjia Village is in line with national policies, laws, and the voice of the people in this courtyard."

"Yi Zhonghai, do you have any opinions on national policies, laws and the masses?"

As for this question, even if Yi Zhonghai grew nine heads and gained nine lives, he would not dare to say that he had

"No... I have no objection."

"If you have no objection, go and rest up, because tomorrow's work will be very arduous."

Bai Wanli has said what he needs to say. It's time for Director Wang to take over.

"Yi Zhonghai, I've discovered that you have serious problems with your thinking and your way of doing things. From today on, the Street Office will revoke your status as the manager. You no longer have to manage the Siheyuan!"

Let's not talk about Yi Zhonghai's other problems. Director Wang agreed to the repatriation of Qin Huairu, but Yi Zhonghai wanted to refute it in public. If Director Wang can still keep Yi Zhonghai to make things difficult for himself, he is simply out of his mind.

Yi Zhonghai did not expect that his plan to calm Bai Wanli and let Qin Huairu help him in his old age would collapse completely. Qin Huairu was going to be repatriated and could not stay in Sijiu City anymore, let alone provide for his old age.

Now he has lost even his status as a great uncle. He has been demoted to a third-level worker in the factory and has no status at all. The only authority he has left is his identity as a manager appointed by the street office. Now that he has lost even this last support, how can he control this courtyard and find a way to get people to provide for his retirement?

"Director Wang, I..."

Director Wang was already fed up with Yi Zhonghai and didn't want to talk to him anymore. He looked directly at Liu Haizhong.

"Liu Haizhong, from now on you will be the only person in charge of this courtyard. You will be in charge of the affairs of the front, middle and back courtyards by yourself. Can you manage it well?"

Liu Haizhong was really happy today. Yi Zhonghai lost his position as the manager and he became the only boss. His dream of many years finally came true. He was so excited that his fat was shaking.

"Yes! I promise to live up to the trust of the organization and manage this courtyard well!"

Chapter 91: Liu Guangqi is getting married, Guo Dapiao's complaints

Director Wang didn't quite understand Liu Haizhong's spirit of fighting and enthusiasm. She no longer expected this courtyard to perform well. As long as they behaved themselves and didn't get into trouble again, that would be enough.

Director Wang now understands that sentence

No news is the best news

After finishing his work, Director Wang didn't want to stay in this annoying courtyard any longer, so he said hello to Bai Wanli and went back.

Bai Wanli also turned around and went back to his home, ready to play two more games before going to bed.

As for Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu...even the residents in the yard just glanced at them with disdain and went home. Bai Wanli naturally didn't bother to give them another look.

After Bai Wanli and Director Wang left, Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to show off and patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder.

"Old Yi, if you encounter any difficulties in life in the future, please tell me, don't be polite to me. As the only person in charge of this courtyard, it is my duty to serve the people."

Yi Zhonghai knew very well that Liu Haizhong was mocking him, but he had lost his status as a great master and he didn't even have the courage to curse at such a loser. He clenched his fists and went home in silence.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai was driven away by him, Liu Haizhong patted his belly and laughed three times, then called his family back home.

When he got home, Liu Haizhong still had a smile on his face. He held a teacup and said, imitating what he thought was a leader: "Great, great, I was demoted in the factory and was also removed from my position as an uncle in the yard. I don't even have a son at my age. Old Yi's life is completely ruined!"

Lao Liu's teacup was awarded as a prize after his workshop was selected as an excellent workshop a few years ago. This was the only honor Liu Haizhong had received in the steel rolling mill over the years, except for the promotion of his work rank. He held it in his arms like a treasure every day and was reluctant to knock off even a piece of paint.

When Liu Haizhong is dead for a hundred years, this teapot will be buried with him.

The second aunt was deeply influenced by Liu Haizhong's official-obsessed thoughts. She certainly had no good feelings towards Yi Zhonghai, who had always suppressed her man. She clenched her fist and said, "Old Liu, now that you have the status of a master in the yard, you must behave well in the factory and suppress Yi Zhonghai so that this old man will have no chance to turn over!"

Liu Haizhong put down the teacup and said confidently:

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass this year's assessment. By then, I will be a seventh-level blacksmith. Old Yi... No, Yi Zhonghai is only a third-level worker now. After passing the exam, he will only be a fourth-level worker. There are many fourth-level blacksmiths in the factory. He is not qualified to compete with me at all!"

The second aunt smiled and praised: "Lao Liu, when I married you, I knew you were the most capable person."

After hearing what their mother said, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also started to flatter her, making Liu Haizhong feel a little proud.

Liu Haizhong has dreamed of becoming an official all his life, which shows that he has a strong desire for power. He likes the feeling of being high and mighty, but he cannot become an official in reality. He can only show his "authority" at home and enjoy the "respect" of his family to satisfy his desire for power.

After hearing a series of good words, Liu Haizhong finally felt satisfied. He put down the teacup and looked at his big son.

"Guangqi, how are you getting along with your partner?"

Liu Guangqi said: "Very good, Xiaoyun promised me that he would take me to meet his parents this Sunday. If his parents agree, we will quickly set the wedding date. Xiaoyun also said that after we get married, she will convince her father to try to make me the workshop director within three years."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he slapped his thighs in delight.

"Okay, okay, good things are happening at the same time. When Dad passes the seventh-level worker exam, he will be a team leader first, and then strive for the position of workshop director. Then we will have two leaders in our family."

"Guangqi, you are really a good son to your father!"

"Dad, we still have a lot of good things to do in the future, but if Xiaoyun and I get married, you can't give me a shabby wedding banquet, otherwise I will never be able to hold my head up in front of Xiaoyun's parents."

In the Liu family, only Liu Guangqi could make such a request to Liu Haizhong. Not to mention the unlucky brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, even if the second aunt dared to talk to Liu Haizhong like this, she would definitely be beaten.

But for Liu Guangqi, Liu Haizhong really gave him all his love.

"Guangqi, don't worry. Your dad will definitely organize a beautiful wedding banquet for you, with plenty of wine and meat. Then I will find a way to invite Director Bai to come and give you some face."

Liu Guangqi also wanted to climb up Bai Wanli's high branch, but like others, he was not very successful. If he could get involved with Bai Wanli through marriage, Liu Guangqi would be very happy.

Listening to Liu Haizhong's unconditional partiality towards Liu Guangqi, the brothers Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian lowered their heads with eyes full of jealousy and resentment.

------

The next morning, Guo Dapiezi, the workshop director of the third fitter workshop, was called over by his leader before he even entered the workshop.

"Director Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Director Wang is the head of the Production Department of the Steel Rolling Mill, responsible for managing all the fitter workshops in the factory.

Because the number of fitters is the largest among the workers in the steel rolling mill, the person in charge of the fitter workshop also has the highest status in the production department.

Although Director Wang's administrative level is deputy director, his actual status is higher than that of several deputy directors in charge of other workshops.

"Old Guo, Yi Zhonghai is a worker in your workshop, right?"

Guo Dapiezi felt nervous. Yi Zhonghai had committed many crimes recently. Not only was he punished, but because he taught a disciple named Jia Dongxu who was sentenced to prison, Guo Dapiezi, the workshop director, was also criticized.

Guo Dapiezi was thinking about how to deal with Yi Zhonghai. Suddenly, he heard Director Wang mention Yi Zhonghai. Guo Dapiezi couldn't help but worry.

'Will this old man cause me trouble again?'

"Old Guo, we have worked together for many years. I will tell you the truth. I don't know what happened to Yi Zhonghai. He offended the guy from the Security Department again yesterday. Director Bai called me early in the morning to talk about this matter."

Guo Dapiaozi was speechless when he heard this.

"Director Wang, I just can't figure it out. Is Yi Zhonghai mentally ill? For an ordinary person, being able to live in the same courtyard with a big leader like Director Bai is a blessing that cannot be obtained even if you ask for it. You can't even curry favor with him. Why does Yi Zhonghai make Director Bai unhappy every day?"

"Why don't we send him to the hospital to check his brain? If he really has a problem with his brain, put him in a mental hospital right away. Don't keep him outside. It would be bad if he hurts someone."

Chapter 92: Guo Dapiaozi's Revenge

Director Wang also couldn't understand Yi Zhonghai's train of thought, but as a leader, he, like Bai Wanli, didn't like workers like Yi Zhonghai who were busy all day and didn't do their job.

"You can talk about mental hospitals later. Lao Guo, Yi Zhonghai is from your workshop. You must manage him well and let him concentrate on his work. Don't let him have the energy to mess around with other things. This is also what the leader wants. Do you understand?"

Guo Da Piezi is a man who, although his position is not high, he still has some brains.

The "leader" that Director Wang refers to here is of course not the leader of the Security Department, but Director Yang, the direct leader of their Production Department.

In other words, it was the common intention of Director Bai and Director Yang to make Yi Zhonghai obedient.

Guo Dapiezi is very happy now

He originally wanted to punish Yi Zhonghai, but was hesitant about how far to punish him. It would not be fun if Yi Zhonghai complained to Director Yang.

But now that he knows the news, what worries does he have?

"Please rest assured, Director Wang, I will manage the workshop well and will not let some workers make mistakes again!"

After coming out from Director Wang, Guo walked briskly towards the workshop, obviously in a good mood.

As soon as he entered the workshop, Guo Dapiezi immediately looked around, looking for Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai standing in front of a third-level fitter's equipment and preparing to operate it, Guo Dapiezi hurried over and said, "Hey, hey, hey, Yi Zhonghai, what are you doing?"

It's just the beginning of the workday. All the workers have come to the workshop one after another. It's not the time for the machines to start working, so there's not much noise in the workshop.

When Guo Dapiezi shouted, everyone looked over.

Yi Zhonghai said puzzledly: "I'm preparing to start work." He had lost his position as the manager of the yard, and he couldn't get it back in a short time. Yi Zhonghai no longer had the leisure and confidence to slack off like before. Only by working hard in the factory and letting Director Yang pay attention to his skills as an old worker, would he have a chance to slowly climb back to his previous position.

"You don't have to make these workpieces. Hey, hey..." Guo Dapiaozi pointed to the wall and said, "See those steel ingots over there? Those are your jobs. Go and move them."

There were no forklifts or assembly lines in this era, so everything needed to be moved by manpower.
