Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

In the workshop, Xiao Weiguo patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder and said, "Master Yi, don't be afraid of failure. At most, you can try again. You can't be overwhelmed. You have to stand up and prove yourself with your actions!"

After hearing these words of encouragement, everyone felt that Section Chief Xiao was too amiable and their faces were shattered. Such a person would be a cancer if he stayed in the steel mill!

Yi Zhonghai clenched his fist and smashed it hard on the workbench. He was completely humiliated by Xiao Weiguo's treatment. The most important thing was that from what Director Yang said, he had begun to reject him.

Everyone here was pointing fingers at Yi Zhonghai. Although they didn't say it explicitly, their eyes betrayed everything.

At this time, Director Yang returned to the workshop angrily. His murderous eyes scared everyone so much that they dared not look at him. He not only wanted to draw a clear line with Yi Zhonghai, but also wanted to punish him severely, otherwise he would be in great trouble.

As for the trap set by Li Huaide, he admitted it, but as for Xiao Weiguo, he had to keep him at bay even though he couldn't afford to offend him.

What happened in just over ten minutes had made him question his life, and all his anger was directed at Lao Yi.

"Yi Zhonghai, what happened to you just now? You discredited the factory in front of the senior leaders. Your nervousness and shaking hands are all nonsense. Starting with you, we will immediately conduct an assessment. All employees who do not meet the level will be punished. No one can escape!"

Xiao Weiguo smiled awkwardly. If he had known this would happen, he would not have done it in the first place!

Yi Zhonghai single-handedly started a craze for review and grading of steel rolling mills, with him as the leader and technical engineers personally supervising. The result is predictable. The drawings were unclear, the skills were not good enough, and the results were worse each time after taking the test three times.

He was eventually classified as a fifth-level worker. Not only was his salary reduced by three levels and deducted half a month's salary, he also became a negative example in the factory.

Yi Zhonghai is now in a state of chaos where no one can get help from him. He has offended his superiors and his colleagues. Over ten people were demoted from top to bottom just because of a re-examination. Director Yang was so angry that he flipped the table in his office.

After work, there were crowds of people around the blackboard newspaper. The latest criticism notice came out, and Yi Zhonghai ranked first on the list. He was punished by having his bonus deducted and demoted, a series of dimensionality reduction attacks.

In the bustling crowd, Yi Zhonghai was dispirited like a walking corpse, with snowflakes falling one by one. The scene was beautiful but miserable.

Xiao Weiguo passed by on his bike, whistling.

"Uncle, see you later!"

Old Yi was so angry that he threw his handbag at Xiao Weiguo without caring about his face. "From today on, I will never coexist with you!"

Compound

The men who had gone to work had not returned yet, the women were busy preparing dinner, and the children were playing together in groups of three or four. Without the stinky fish Jia Zhang, the air in the yard was particularly fresh.

"Hoo, hoo..., Lao Yi...something happened!"

Fatty Liu stood at the gate panting and shouted. Everyone in the front yard was startled and it took them a few seconds to react.

Yan Fugui threw down the car cleaning rag and asked anxiously, "What happened to Lao Yi?"

"Yeah, what happened to the uncle? Could it be that he..."

Previously, there was the tragic incident of Jia Dongxu’s amputation, and this time everyone was thinking in that direction.

Liu Haizhong's face flushed as he told the story vividly, and everyone followed his steps all the way to the corridor in the central courtyard.

"Oh my god, so Lao Yi was demoted and criticized as a negative example by the whole factory?"

"What happened to Lao Yi? He has been working for more than 20 years and has trained so many apprentices. How could such a thing happen?

"Yeah, maybe he's possessed~"

Aunt Li's words scared everyone so much that their hair stood on end. Just as Jia Zhang was captured, Yi Zhonghai suffered a disastrous defeat.

Could it be that Lao Jia has stepped in?

"Okay, you women are just suffering from your lack of education. Now is a new country with a new trend. If you believe in superstition, I will punish you."

Yan Fugui pointed at a few people and scolded them with great confidence. Everyone was so scared that they shut up and dared not say another word.

Liu Haizhong smacked his lips and whispered with his hands covering his mouth, "I'm telling you, everyone is saying that Lao Yi took advantage of improper relationships..."

As soon as Xiao Weiguo entered the yard, he saw a crowd of people. Who else could the fat guy with a muscular build be other than Fatty Liu?

"Hey, what are you doing, uncle?"

Xiao Weiguo patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder fiercely.

"Oh..."

He was so frightened that he covered his face in a panic to hide himself. The other aunts also covered their chests in fear.

"It's you, Weiguo. Why are you walking without making any sound? I was so scared that my heart was turning over."

"Auntie, what are you doing here? Are you reading an audio book? Hey, I want to listen too."

The third aunt glanced at Xiao Weiguo and said, "Don't make fun of your aunt. I want to ask you something serious. Was the first uncle really criticized in the notice?"

Xiao Weiguo chuckled, "Second Uncle really didn't lie about this. Now that we're back from get off work, everyone in the factory knows about it except for the idiots."

"Look, I'm telling the truth. I didn't lie to you!"

Liu Haizhong was proudly spreading the first-hand information. The second and third aunts had strange expressions. To them, Lao Yi was hit by a dimensionality reduction attack, and their own old man's prestige in the courtyard was improved a little, even to the point of overshadowing the old calf household who was all-powerful.

Everyone in the compound had returned home after get off work, and Yi Zhonghai's glorious deeds became an open secret in the compound. From time to time, knocking sounds were heard from the Jia family's house, but everyone chose to ignore them.

Xiao Weiguo felt empty inside when he saw the smug look on the second uncle's face, and waved his hand to signal him to come over.

Liu Haizhong licked his big belly and smiled flatteringly, "Chief Xiao, what's the matter?"

Puchi, Xiao Weiguo couldn't hold back his laughter, these uncles were really weird, this was not the time for them to unite as a group and fight together, they just dispersed as soon as they said so, and changed their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.

Xiao Weiguo took out a cigarette, and the second uncle immediately struck a match to light it and licked it clearly.

"Uncle One, you did too much evil and finally brought yourself down. What about you, Uncle Two?"

Ok?

His mouth turned upside down, the flesh on his chin trembled slightly, and he tried to open his eyes wide, looking a little at a loss.

He felt mixed emotions. Could it be that Lao Yi's incident had something to do with him?

"Don't think I don't know that you stabbed me in the back. God will punish you for what you have done! Take care of yourself, man!"

After saying that, Xiao Weiguo put the cigarette between his bangs and his ear, then patted his shoulder and left.

After such a short while, Fatty Liu got goose bumps all over his body, and a cold wind blew on his back. He couldn't help but shiver, and his mentality gradually collapsed.

It seems that he knows about the snitching!

So Lao Yi's translation was thanks to him?

Will he retaliate against me next?

"What's that smell? Who is burning pig hair?"

"Yeah, who's eating pig's head tonight?"

The aunts in the yard stopped gossiping about Yi Zhonghai and instead focused on smelling the aroma, their minds filled with the delicious smell of pig head.

"His father! What are you doing there? Why is there smoke coming out of your head?"

The second aunt followed the smell and saw the smoking bangs. She pulled off her scarf and hit her head with it.

Everyone came to help enthusiastically. You hit him, and I hit him with a stick on the big head with bangs. Shazhu went home, got a basin of water, and ran over shouting.

"Everyone, please make way. I'm..."

"Okay, Silly Zhu, stop making trouble. This basin of water will just send the Second Master away."

While Xu Damao was trying to stop Sha Zhu, he took advantage of the chaos to hit Liu Haizhong with his shoe, which cleared up the blood clot in Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong was awakened by the pain and came to his senses. He bit Xu Damao and said, "Xu Damao, you little bastard, you dare to take this opportunity to hit me, right? I let you hit me, so stop right there!"

"Don't ask, you misunderstood, I was just helping you."

Xu Damao was so scared that he ran around the yard, and Liu Haizhong grabbed the soles of his shoes and chased after him.

The second aunt was protecting her family from behind, having a lot of fun like an eagle catching chicks.

Xu Damao looked around the yard for armor to protect himself, but unfortunately everyone stayed away from him, so he ran to the corridor and hid behind a figure.

"Hey, come on, Uncle, come and beat me up!"

Liu Haizhong was running breathlessly, and when he looked up, he saw the face of Bao Gong and instantly wilted.

The others were laughing and clapping one second, and then they shut up and went home the next.

Xu Damao finally reacted when he saw everyone leaving. He blinked and rolled his eyes upwards, "Hey! No more playing, let's go home!"
