Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

The steel ingots that are moved in heavy factories such as steel rolling mills can weigh dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms (many people move them). Moving these things is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the degree of torture can be said to be second only to moving ladles of molten iron in the foundry workshop. In addition, you must wear labor protection shoes when moving them.

It is a piece of iron in front of the shoe to protect the sole of the foot, so that the box weighing dozens or hundreds of pounds will not accidentally fall out of the hand and directly hit the person and cause disability.

This kind of work does not require any technical skills, is time-consuming and laborious, and is purely physical work. It is usually done by young and strong temporary workers or apprentices. Old masters like Yi Zhonghai will not be allowed to do it, so as not to waste their skills.

Yi Zhonghai was also very surprised when he heard Guo Dapiao asked him to move the steel ingots.

"Lao Guo! You want me to move steel ingots?!"

"What Lao Guo? How can you talk like that? It's working hours now. If you want to call me by my position, you have to call me Director Guo!"

In the past, Yi Zhonghai was the most experienced master in the workshop, and he had the potential to become an eighth-level worker. Guo Dapiezi was also polite to him, and even when Yi Zhonghai casually called him Lao Guo, he tolerated it. But now... calling each other by their positions during work hours is a rule, and it's reasonable.

Yi Zhonghai felt a fire rising from his heart, but he had to hold it back.

"Director Guo... Director Guo, I am only a level 7... level 3 worker in the workshop. Isn't it unreasonable to ask me to move the steel ingots?"

"What's unreasonable about this? The workshop's production regulations don't stipulate that level 3 workers can't move steel ingots. What matters now is that everyone is equal. Temporary workers are workers, and you are also a worker. If they can move, then of course you can move too."

"You don't want to move? Why? Are you a worker more noble than other workers?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to respond and could only change the subject: "No, I'm worried about delaying the production tasks in the workshop."

"As the director, how many production tasks are there in the workshop? In the past, there was a Level 2 worker who was lazy and slacked off every day, but he never delayed the tasks in the workshop. I think it won't make much difference if there is one less Level 3 worker now."

Yi Zhonghai was extremely anxious. He was eager to play his role in the production task, so that he could show his value in front of Director Yang and climb back to his original position.

But moving steel ingots, a job that requires no technical skills, doesn't give him any room to demonstrate his value.

In a panic, Yi Zhonghai looked around. The workers in the workshop were all watching, but most of them had gloating expressions on their faces, and no one wanted to speak to Yi Zhonghai.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai relied on his seniority to protect Jia Dongxu in the workshop, which had long aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. However, Yi Zhonghai had a long history and a high status, so others could not do anything to him.

Now that they see Yi Zhonghai in trouble, it would be strange if they could speak for him.

Not to mention them, even Yi Zhonghai's disciples looked on indifferently, and no one stood up to support their master.

The same is true for those temporary workers who have to move the complicated steel ingots. Because the production tasks in the workshop are fixed, the number of steel ingots to be moved per day is also fixed. If Yi Zhonghai moves some, then the number of ingots each of them has to move will be less. Anyway, the salary will not be reduced. Only a fool would speak to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked around in bewilderment, and could not find anyone willing to talk to him.

Guo Dapiezi was extremely happy to see Yi Zhonghai lose all his popularity

"Yi Zhonghai, you have come to this day!"

Guo Dapiezi now has the support of the leaders above him and the support of the masses below him (default), so he has no scruples in dealing with Yi Zhonghai

"Yi Zhonghai, what are you still standing there for?! It's already time to go to work, why don't you hurry up and get to work, or I'll count it as a day of absence and deduct your salary for today!"

Feeling the spit of Guo Da Piezi spraying directly on his face, Yi Zhonghai's old face kept twitching.

But now Yi Zhonghai no longer has the qualifications to tear his face with a director. Even if he is furious, Yi Zhonghai can only choose to bend down and move the box full of steel ingots.

Guo Da Piezi raised his finger and pointed

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! Don't dawdle. If you start so late, can you bear the responsibility for delaying other workers from completing their workpieces?"

"You guys keep an eye on it too. We don't allow lazy workers to exist in our workshop!"

At this time, the workers in the third fitter workshop seemed to have finally returned to work, and the workshop director stared at the normal style of scolding people.

It's not that the director has no presence, but rather that a worker is bossing around and acting superior.

Chapter 93: Rebellion against Tian Gang, the disciple beats the master

With the "kind care" of Director Guo Dapiezi, Yi Zhonghai spent the whole morning carrying heavy workpieces and steel ingots, without even having time to take a breath or drink a sip of water.

It was not until lunch time that Yi Zhonghai had a chance to take a short break.

This is not that Lao Guo intends to let Yi Zhonghai go, but he also needs to eat. Only after eating a full meal can he have the energy to continue to "take care of" Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai dragged his tired body to the cafeteria to get lunch

The case of Sha Zhu is a lesson for us. Under the threat of the Security Department, few people dare to play tricks on the workers' meals. Yi Zhonghai's beating was also a normal amount, but it was definitely much less than what Sha Zhu had taken care of before.

After eating, Yi Zhonghai did not stay in the cafeteria

Because his reputation was ruined, many people no longer looked at him with the same respect as before, and their eyes were full of contempt and ridicule. This was unacceptable to Yi Zhonghai, who was very concerned about his reputation. Instead of sitting with so many people, he might as well find a corner to hide and eat.

Because his work grade was downgraded, his salary was also greatly reduced. In order to save money for retirement, Yi Zhonghai became more frugal than before. He was reluctant to eat even two-grain steamed buns, and for lunch he just had two cornmeal steamed buns with a portion of cabbage.

He was a middle-aged guy squatting in the corner eating steamed bread, and he looked really pitiful... If you didn't know about the disgusting things he did

Yi Zhonghai had lunch and finally recovered a lot of strength. After washing the lunch box, Yi Zhonghai prepared to smoke a cigarette before going to work in the afternoon to refresh himself, because he knew that Guo Dapiaozi would probably not let him go easily.

But before he could find a good place to smoke, Yi Zhonghai saw several people walking straight towards him, and their target was obviously him.

This revenge-seeming posture did not make Yi Zhonghai nervous, but angry instead.

Because these people are all his apprentices. Just now in the workshop, these apprentices watched him being harassed by Guo Da Piaozi without saying a word. Yi Zhonghai has been holding his anger for the whole morning and now he wants to find someone to vent his anger on.

However, when these disciples came to the front, before Yi Zhonghai could get angry, the leader took the initiative.

"Yi Zhonghai, we are here to inform you that we have collectively decided to sever our master-disciple relationship with you!"

"What!?"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked by this sentence, and his face was full of disbelief.

The master-apprentice relationship in this era is still quite serious, because the apprenticeship is not like in the 21st century. Many people learn a skill or craft out of interest. People in this era are not so idle, and they learn skills that can support their families.

The master can provide technology, and the apprentice needs technology. This completely one-way supply and demand relationship makes the master's status very high.

During festivals, it is normal for disciples to come to pay respects. It is also common for people like Sha Zhu to treat Ma Hua and Fatty like slaves.

Like now, several disciples approached their master and asked to sever the master-disciple relationship, which was completely against Tiangang.

Yi Zhonghai was already furious because of his disciples' inaction, and now he was even more furious.

"You beasts! I am your master. If you want to sever ties with me, I will expel you from the sect! When did you get the chance to talk to me like that?!"

Although Yi Zhonghai is not as violent as Liu Haizhong, for the sake of his own retirement, his desire to control the so-called "younger generations" may be more pathological than Liu Haizhong. He wishes that all the young people in the world would obey him and give him whatever he wants, so that he can live a stable and prosperous retirement life.

Several disciples took the initiative to "rebel" against their master, which was unforgivable to Yi Zhonghai, just like treason.

The leader sneered:

"Yi Zhonghai, you still have the nerve to mention that you are our master? What have you taught us over the years?"

Yi Zhonghai argued:

"This is because you are not qualified enough. It has nothing to do with me!"

Yi Zhonghai is extremely selfish. He believes that teaching his disciples well and starving the master to death is the truth of the world. He has never taught his elderly father Jia Dongxu seriously, and has created a record-breaking weird second-level worker. No one believes that Yi Zhonghai can teach other disciples wholeheartedly.

"We are not qualified, right? Then I hope you can find a qualified apprentice in the future... No, I forgot. Master Yi is only a third-level worker responsible for moving steel ingots. He is not even qualified to be an apprentice."

"That's great, let's not waste each other's time. You go move your steel ingots, and we'll go see our master."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes were red, his teeth were gnashing, and he reached out to grab the leader's shoulder.

"Sun Kangri! I was wondering how you dared to be so arrogant and turn against me. It turns out that you have already found a new master!?"

Sun Kangri waved his arm and opened Yi Zhonghai's hand.

"So what if I found you? All these years, we brothers have been paying tribute to you during festivals and holidays. But you, Yi Zhonghai, are worse than a dog. I throw a bone to a dog and the dog knows to wag its tail at me! What about you?!"

"You accepted the gift, but you didn't teach us any skills! Why should we worship you as our master? It's not that we are being servile, we also want to learn some skills and make money to support our family!"

"If you are unwilling to teach us the skills, why should we acknowledge you as our master!"

"We are willing to come and inform you now, as we still remember the relationship between us as master and disciple. Do you still have the nerve to bully us?!"

"Old man, you've done so many wicked things, no wonder you're a lost cause!"

Yi Zhonghai's forbidden words appeared again. Originally, Yi Zhonghai had accumulated enough anger these days, but Bai Wanli was someone he couldn't deal with and couldn't vent his anger on. Today, what these disciples did was an unforgivable crime against Tiangang.

The phrase "extinct the whole family" finally destroyed Yi Zhonghai's rationality. Even though he knew that the other side had more people, the already furious Yi Zhonghai still swung his fist.

"I'm going to kill you!!!"

"You still dare to attack me!? Brothers, fight me!!!"

"Come on together! I've been putting up with this old bastard for so long!"

"kill him!!!"

Young and strong fists are better than two fists, and four hands are no match for two fists.

Yi Zhonghai is old now. He couldn't get the upper hand against Jia Dongxu last time. Now he has no chance of winning against many people. He only threw two punches, and the rest of the time he was beaten one-sidedly.

Sun Kangri and his men had long held grudges against Yi Zhonghai, and this time, Yi Zhonghai's punch completely blew up their grudges, and they had to vent their grudges completely.

It's like releasing water. You either hold it back or release it all at once. It's very difficult to hold it back after releasing halfway.

A few minutes later, the panting Sun Kangri and his companions finally stopped, and Yi Zhonghai was already lying on the ground, his body covered with gray footprints, like a dead fish.

Several people spat at Yi Zhonghai, and Sun Kangri pointed at Yi Zhonghai and said viciously:

"Yi Zhonghai! If you want to report us, just go ahead!"

"We will also go to the Security Department and tell them that you were the first to do it. I heard that you have a bad relationship with Director Bai of the Security Department. Let's see whether Director Bai will deal with you or us!"

Chapter 94 Housing Management Department Reclaims the House

Many residents of the courtyard work in the steel mill, especially Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, two guys who are extremely hostile to Yi Zhonghai.

With their intentional or unintentional propaganda, it was no longer a secret that Yi Zhonghai had offended Bai Wanli.

Now everyone in the factory knows that the security department is very powerful now, and Director Bai is someone who cannot be offended.

Yi Zhonghai had offended this big boss badly, and his own reputation was in a mess. Most workers were unwilling to have contact with him, lest they would be implicated if Yi Zhonghai made a mistake one day.

This is also one of the reasons why Yi Zhonghai’s popularity in the steel mill has plummeted recently.

Yi Zhonghai lay on the ground like a dead dog for a long time before he regained some strength and got up and sat on the ground.

Although Yi Zhonghai was furious, he wanted to throw all these traitors who betrayed their master and ancestors into the boiler and burn them.

But Yi Zhonghai had no ability to take revenge, and he didn't even dare to report Sun Kangri and his men.
