After taking Ding Qiunan to the infirmary, Xiao Shan went to the welding workshop.

Upon arriving at the welding workshop, Xiao Shan noticed that something seemed amiss.

The workers who had arrived did not start working; instead, they chatted anxiously.

Even the workshop director, Luo Zhengqiu, didn't urge the workers to work; instead, he chatted with them.

Upon seeing Xiao Shan enter, Luo Zhengqiu's face lit up with joy.

Seeing Xiao Shan walk to his workstation, Luo Zhengqiu came over and said, "Xiao Shan, the situation has changed now, what should we do?"

Although Luo Zhengqiu was the workshop director, he knew that Xiao Shan was a smart man and had a good relationship with Li Huaide, so he came to Xiao Shan for guidance.

Upon hearing Luo Zhengqiu's words, everyone in the car looked at Xiao Shan.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Uncle Luo, don't worry, no matter how the situation changes, it won't affect our welding workshop. Everyone can just work as usual! As long as production continues, Director Li will stand by our side!"

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, given the current situation, everyone must refrain from saying anything inappropriate or doing anything they shouldn't do outside!" Xiao Shan instructed. "Also, remember to read the books I recommended to you before when you have free time!"

Everyone assured each other that they would definitely not say anything out of line outside.

After receiving reassurance from Xiaoshan, everyone felt at ease and began to work.

Luo Zhengqiu patted Xiao Shan on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Xiao Shan, I never imagined you'd become the backbone of our welding workshop! If your father could see this, he'd be so happy!"

"This is all thanks to Uncle Luo and Master's guidance!" Xiao Shan looked at Luo Zhengqiu, then at Mao Dexing who was not far from him, and said with a smile.

After watching Luo Zhengqiu leave, Xiao Shan went about his own business.

Now, Xiaoshan is a level 8 welder, and his daily task is to complete four or five level 8 workpieces.

This kind of task is actually quite demanding.

However, it's not a big problem for Xiaoshan.

Working about five hours a day, Xiaoshan can complete the task.

Therefore, Xiaoshan can now basically leave work two or three hours early every day.

However, given the current situation, Xiaoshan has no desire to wander around.

After completing the task, I would sit in the welding workshop, read books, and chat with the other people.

If any problems arise in the welding workshop, Xiaoshan will also help solve them.

Just as Xiao Shan finished his first level 8 workpiece, Luo Zhengqiu came over and told him that Li Huaide had something to discuss with him.

Xiao Shan knew very well that Liu Haizhong had probably gone to find Li Huaide, and Li Huaide wanted to ask him about Liu Haizhong's situation.

So Xiao Shan left the welding workshop and went to the administration building.

Arriving at the door of Li Huaide's office, Xiao Shan knocked on the door, which was not closed: "Factory Manager, you wanted to see me?"

"Xiao Shan's here, come in and have a seat!" Li Huaide looked up and saw Xiao Shan standing at the door, and greeted him with a smile.

After Xiao Shan came in and sat down opposite him, Li Huaide continued, "Xiao Shan, the main reason I asked you to come here is to ask you something!"

Xiao Shan nodded: "Factory manager, feel free to ask me anything!"

"Xiaoshan, what do you think of Liu Haizhong? He said he's the big boss in charge of your compound, so I made him the head of the disciplinary team," Li Huaide said, looking at Xiaoshan.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Shan said, "Factory Director, Liu Haizhong has a pretty keen sense of smell and is absolutely obedient. But he doesn't have much ability. If it's something difficult, you'll have to think twice before using him!"

Li Huaide nodded: "I understand! By the way, how's the welding workshop going?"

"Don't worry, Factory Director! Our welding workshop is full of upright and experienced workers who enjoy reading anthologies and quotations!" Xiao Shan said without hesitation. "Besides, we'll follow your orders without any problems!"

These words brought a smile to Li Huaide's face: "Xiaoshan, I feel very reassured with you in the welding workshop! However, while you're keeping your mindset right, production must also keep up!"

"Please rest assured, Factory Manager, our welding workshop will definitely not hold the steel rolling mill back!"

Li Huaide was satisfied and told Xiao Shan to go back to work.

During lunch, Xiao Shan heard about Liu Haizhong's role in taking down the workshop director in the forging workshop.

"It seems this second uncle is really full of energy!" Xiao Shan thought to himself. "It looks like Factory Director Yang is going to have a headache!"

Xiao Shan's guess was quite right; Director Yang was indeed having a headache at this moment.

The workshop director of the forging workshop was his man, and now Li Huaide sent Liu Haizhong to take him down, which meant that they were going to completely break ties with him!

So Director Yang decided to go and talk to Li Huaide to see what he wanted!

It must be said that Director Yang's sense of smell was far less acute than Li Huaide's.

Even now, they still haven't figured out the real reason Li Huaide dared to do this: the situation has changed!

As a result, a few days later, Director Yang was taken down by Li Huaide and removed from his position as director.

Li Huaide became the director of the steel rolling mill!

After becoming the factory director, Li Huaide's first task was to stabilize morale.

Once the situation stabilized, they began to clear out the people from Yang Factory.

During this time, Li Huaide wanted Xiao Shan to become a workshop director or something, but Xiao Shan politely declined, saying that he wanted to focus on studying welding techniques.

Li Huaide was not angry about this.

After all, Xiaoshan is now the backbone of the welding workshop.

Without him, there would be no one to make the level 8 workpieces in the welding workshop!

Moreover, Xiao Shan had always been very respectful to him, so Li Huaide was naturally quite tolerant of Xiao Shan.

That day, Xiao Shan was having dinner with Ding Qiunan at home when someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Xiao Shan opened the door and saw He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhu, what brings you here today?"

"Haha, I came over to have a drink with you. This is some Kung Pao Chicken I just made." After entering the house, He Yuzhu put the dishes he was carrying on the table and said to Ding Qiunan with a smile, "Sister-in-law, is it alright if I go to have a drink with Xiaoshan?"

Ding Qiunan smiled and said, "A little drink is fine, just don't drink too much!"

"It's been a long time since I've had Brother Zhu's cooking!" Xiao Shan said with a smile as he got up and took out a bottle of Fenjiu liquor from the bedroom.

Ding Qiunan also went into the kitchen and brought wine glasses for the two of them.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Ding Qiunan finished eating and left the table.

He Yuzhu, slightly drunk, looked at Xiao Shan and said, "Xiao Shan, how come a leader like Director Yang, who gets things done, was removed from his post? Now that the steel mill is in the hands of that Li guy, there's definitely no good going for it!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Xiao Shan gave Ding Qiunan, who was sitting to the side reading a book, a look.

Ding Qiunan put down the book in her hand, took a stool and sat outside her door to avoid anyone accidentally overhearing He Yuzhu and Xiao Shan's conversation inside.

After watching Ding Qiunan leave, Xiao Shan said to He Yuzhu, "Brother Zhu, in the current situation, you can't say things like that carelessly!"

"Besides, although Director Li doesn't understand the technology, he's very dedicated to the steel rolling mill's production. After he took over, the mill's output didn't decrease; in fact, it increased!"

"As for us workers, it's best to stay out of the power struggle between the two factory managers!"

He Yuzhu downed his drink in one gulp: "Xiaoshan, what you said makes some sense. I'm just a cook, I don't understand all the messy stuff here."

“Brother Zhu, you’ve seen the current situation, and you must have heard what it’s like in the workshop every day.” Xiao Shan put down his cup and looked at He Yuzhu. “Even if others don’t say it, Liu Lan from your canteen is a big mouth, she’s definitely told you everything.”

"As long as you don't get involved in these messy things, with your skills, no one in the steel mill can touch you. After all, Director Li started from logistics, so you're practically one of his protégés!"

"Your canteen manager is also of retirement age, and I reckon Director Li will promote you to canteen manager this time!"

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, He Yuzhu was somewhat incredulous: "You mean I could be the head chef? That's impossible, isn't it?"

"Don't worry, Brother Zhu. As long as you don't get involved in Director Yang's affairs, you'll definitely be the new canteen director after your current one retires!" Xiao Shan said decisively.

The current He Yuzhu is completely different from the one in the TV series!

In the TV series, He Yuzhu is an eighth-level chef and even beat up Li Huaide.

At the same time, he spoke without restraint in the kitchen, offending many people.

However, He Yuzhu has become much more restrained in his temper now that he has gotten married earlier and is being looked after by Li Caijuan.

He not only became a Level 6 chef, but was also a renowned chef in the nearby factory.

Moreover, he had no direct conflict with Li Huaide.

His popularity is far better than it appears in TV dramas.

Therefore, under such circumstances, a vacancy arose for the position of canteen director, and He Yuzhu was the first candidate!

Seeing Xiao Shan's resolute expression, a fiery glint flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes: "Xiao Shan, I'll listen to you, I won't get involved in those messy things!"

Xiao Shan raised his glass and said to He Yuzhu, "Let me first toast Brother Zhu, wishing you a successful promotion to head of the cafeteria!"

The two finished a bottle of Fenjiu liquor before He Yuzhu swayed and left Xiao Shan's house with the empty plate.

He Yuzhu's home.

Seeing He Yuzhu stagger back with a joyful smile on his face, Li Caijuan, heavily pregnant, asked, "Why did you drink so much?"

"Hehe, Juan'er, I'm so happy!" He Yuzhu put the empty plate on the table, found a chair to sit down, and then said happily to Li Caijuan.

Li Caijuan asked with some curiosity, "What did Xiaoshan say to you that made you so happy?"

So He Yuzhu proudly told Li Caijuan what Xiao Shan had said, and then excitedly said, "Juan'er, your husband will be a leader in the future!"

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Li Caijuan's face also showed a hint of joy.

However, Li Caijuan immediately instructed He Yuzhu, "Zhuzi, this matter is still far from settled, so don't go out and tell anyone, understand?"

"Don't worry, I know!" He Yuzhu stood up and wobbled as he took the empty plate to the kitchen.

The next day was the weekend.

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Shan planned to go to the library to return the reference books he had borrowed and then borrow some books related to welding.

When they arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, they encountered Yu Haitang.

"Comrade Xiaoshan!" Yu Haitang greeted Xiaoshan with a smile upon seeing him.

Although Yu Haitang was somewhat resentful when she failed to win Xiao Shan's heart back then.

But after so much time, Yu Haitang's resentment gradually disappeared.

Moreover, Xiao Shan is now an eighth-level welder and the backbone of the welding workshop, so Yu Haitang naturally wouldn't give him a hard time.

Xiao Shan smiled and nodded: "Comrade Haitang, it's you! What brings you here today? Are you looking for your sister?"

"Okay!" Yu Haitang nodded. "Something happened recently, and I'd like to stay at my brother-in-law's house for a few days! But my brother-in-law's house isn't very spacious, so I'll have to think of another way!"

Just then, Xu Damao returned from outside and saw Yu Haitang standing at the door. He asked with some curiosity, "Yu Haitang, what brings you here today? This is quite a rare guest!"

Xiao Shan glanced at Xu Damao, and seeing his shifty eyes, he figured the guy was probably eyeing Yu Haitang again.

"Comrade Haitang, Brother Mao, you two keep chatting, I'll head out first!" Xiao Shan said as he hopped onto his bicycle.

Watching Xiao Shan leave, Xu Damao smiled and said, "Yu Haitang, do you regret it now? Didn't you pursue Xiao Shan more firmly back then?"

"No!" Yu Haitang shook her head. "I'm not the kind of person who pesters people relentlessly! And Comrade Xiaoshan isn't the kind of person who can win someone over by pestering them relentlessly!"

Xu Damao nodded slightly, agreeing with Yu Haitang's assessment: "By the way, what brings you here today? Are you here to see your sister?"

Yu Haitang then repeated what she had said to Xiao Shan to Xu Damao.

Upon hearing Yu Haitang's words, Xu Damao's eyes lit up.

Then, half-jokingly, he said to Yu Haitang, "Yu Haitang, I have a small house at home that people can stay in. Why don't you make do and stay in my small house for a couple of days?"

Yu Haitang naturally knew what Xu Damao was planning, and said with a smile, "Xu Damao, don't forget, you're a married man now!"

"So what? I was just concerned about my colleague!" Xu Damao sneered. "Besides, she's a country girl who can't have children. It's only a matter of time before I divorce her!"

These words immediately piqued Yu Haitang's gossipy nature.

Yu Haitang looked at Xu Damao and asked, "Xu Damao, are you really planning to divorce Qin Jingru?"

"How could it be fake? She's just a country girl who doesn't know anything. How could I, Xu Damao, a cultured man, spend my whole life with her?" Xu Damao said with a hint of disdain.

Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Yu Haitang subconsciously nodded: "What you said makes sense! But let me tell you, dating before a divorce is immoral, and you might end up in jail!"
