Siheyuan starts to activate the task system

Seeing the situation gradually getting out of control, Yi Zhonghai was extremely anxious. He didn't care whether he would be exposed or not. He stepped forward and grabbed Liu Haizhong's arm tightly. He whispered to him, "Old Liu, just admit your mistake! Just say that you didn't do a good job in this assessment. Don't let the leaders worry about these trivial matters anymore!"

Yi Zhonghai hoped that he could persuade Liu Haizhong to stop and not pursue the matter any further. You know, if it were in the past, facing so many leaders, Liu Haizhong's brain would have been at a loss and he would have completely lost the ability to think. At that time, he would have believed what Yi Zhonghai said. However, today is very different. Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai, who still wanted him to swallow his anger as usual, and his heart was filled with resentment and anger.

Over the years, Liu Haizhong has been working diligently, hoping to be rated as an eighth-level worker, on par with Yi Zhonghai, or even better than him. Now that he has finally caught such a great opportunity, how can he give it up easily? So, Liu Haizhong shook his head without hesitation and decisively rejected Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was furious upon seeing this. He pointed at Liu Haizhong and shouted, "You are simply wasting the leaders' precious time! Why are you as unreasonable and troublesome as Zhang Yuan!" He really couldn't understand why Liu Haizhong had become so stubborn at this moment.

"Xiao Zheng, tell me the truth, what basis do you have to judge this as unqualified?" The deputy section chief frowned, holding the workpiece tightly in his bangs, his eyes full of doubt and dissatisfaction. He has studied this workpiece over and over again, and it seems flawless no matter how he looks at it! However, considering the need to maintain the face of his subordinates, he still suppressed his doubts and handed the workpiece back to the examiner Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng took the workpiece, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word for a long time. In fact, he knew very well that the reason why he gave such a score was not because there was really a problem with the workpiece, but because he accepted bribes from Yi Zhonghai, so he deliberately gave Liu Haizhong a failing grade.

"Tell me, what's the reason?" The deputy section chief was not someone who could be easily fooled. He was a technical person and was always serious and responsible about his work. He could even be said to be a bit serious. Facing Xiao Zheng's silence, his tone gradually became stern.

Finally, under the repeated questioning of the deputy section chief, Xiao Zheng could no longer bear the huge pressure in his heart. He slowly lowered his head and said softly: "I was wrong..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy surroundings suddenly quieted down, and then there was an uproar. The workers started to curse, and those who had just been supervised by Xiao Zheng were even more angry. They could not accept such unfair treatment.

"Enough! Stop arguing!" the deputy section chief shouted, trying to calm the anger of the crowd. After the situation calmed down a little, he continued, "If you have any objections to the results of this evaluation, or have any doubts, you can take out the workpieces you just took the test, and I will personally check them." Hearing this, some workers immediately took out their workpieces from their pockets and handed them to the deputy section chief.

"But I want to make it clear first. If I find that you have committed any fraud, you will lose the qualification to take the exam forever." The deputy section chief quickly added.

As soon as he finished speaking, the pile of workpieces in front of him suddenly shrank by nearly one-third. Seeing this, the deputy section chief immediately signaled other examiners to get the notebooks. After all, each workpiece used for the examination was marked. If someone's workpiece did not have these marks, then the reason would be self-evident.

After everyone heard what the deputy section chief said, the number of workpieces left on the table dropped to a quarter of the original amount.

As for the man named Xiao Zheng, Director Yang directly ordered the security personnel to take him away from the scene and told them to interrogate him carefully.

The next morning, in the factory party committee meeting room, the head of the security department handed the report obtained from the all-night interrogation to Director Yang. After Director Yang finished reading it, he passed it to Li Huaide, and then to the other two deputy directors. When everyone finished reading the report, the entire meeting room fell into a dead silence.

"Well, this was indeed caused by my lack of supervision. I never expected such a pest to appear in the factory! Fortunately, we discovered it in time and no more serious consequences occurred. We must pay great attention to this matter, reflect on it seriously and discuss it in depth, and find effective ways to completely prevent such incidents from happening again." Director Yang spoke first with a serious expression.

Li Huaide immediately echoed: "Yes, in my opinion, it should be handled according to the most stringent standards." After saying that, he slammed the table hard to show his determination.

"I agree. Fortunately, no one from the ministry came to inspect this time, otherwise our steel mill would be embarrassed." Another person added worriedly.

At this time, someone else interrupted and said, "However, I heard that this Zheng Dong is not a first-time offender. He has been in charge of the assessment and rating of Liu Haizhong for five consecutive years, but he has been stuck at the level 7 worker and cannot move. If someone hadn't exposed him on the spot, I'm afraid many other workers would have suffered this unfair treatment." The words were full of indignation and dissatisfaction.

"Otherwise, we should simply organize a new assessment to give the workers an explanation. In addition, we should also make amends to comrades like Liu Haizhong."

"Yes, not only should we make amends, but we should also severely punish those who manipulated the system behind the scenes."

"I have no objection to this, but there is one person here, how should we deal with him?" Director Yang asked. Everyone present knew this person, Yi Zhonghai, who was the technical backbone of the factory and one of the few level 8 workers. Although he was notorious after this incident, his skills were still there. No one could make up their mind about this.

"In my opinion, we should demote him and change his treatment to Grade 6 worker. His benefits this year will be cancelled and he will not be allowed to take grade exams within three years, but he will still be allowed to continue working as a Grade 8 worker," said Li Huaide.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Director Yang adopted Li Huaide’s suggestion.

However, in addition to demotion, Yi Zhonghai has even more painful things to come.
