Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

Cao Yue heard the familiar sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling and shook his head habitually.

Having lived here for more than a week, he has become accustomed to it and is no longer surprised.

According to the story in the Dream of the Red Chamber, the second uncle educated his son like he was trying a thief, and beat the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to death.

Liu Haizhong’s daily routine is drinking, eating eggs, and beating his son!

Although they lived in the same backyard, Cao Yue's family and Liu Haizhong's family were separated by a wall and a moon gate.

If Cao Yue buys Xu Damao and the deaf old lady's house in the future, he can install a door in the moon gate. After locking the main gate, it will become a private house with a separate courtyard.

After breakfast, Cao Yue strolled to the steel rolling mill. As soon as he entered the security department, he found that the atmosphere was not right.

When I went up to Gao Lisheng and asked him, I found out that the steel rolling mill had lost hundreds of kilograms of scrap iron again.

Cao Yue asked in confusion: "Brother Gao, our steel mill is so big, it's normal to throw away some scrap metal. Didn't we treat it as normal loss in the past? Why are we making such a big fuss this time?"

Gao Lisheng looked around vigilantly, pulled Cao Yue to a deserted place, and whispered:

"I heard that Deputy Director Li was deliberately looking for trouble, and his purpose was to target Master, the head of the security department."

Cao Yue was very familiar with Deputy Director Li, who later became Director Li of the steel rolling mill.

This person is very powerful, greedy for money and lustful, but also tolerant.

Later, when the reform and opening up began, he actually started a business and was not liquidated, which shows that he has strong means and background.

This is also related to the fact that he did not do things to the extreme when he was in power.

This is the hidden big boss, and I don’t know how Ma Weijun offended him.

"Brother Gao, do you know why Deputy Director Li is targeting Master?"

"I don't know either, but I heard that our Deputy Chief Li of the Security Department is related to him and has always wanted him to take over from our master."

Cao Yue immediately understood.

I have heard for a long time that Deputy Director Li and Director Yang in the factory are not on good terms. The two of them are fighting openly and secretly and the situation has never calmed down.

Master Ma Weijun happens not to be from either of these two factions, and the position of head of the security department is very important.

If Deputy Director Li were to deal with Ma Weijun, Director Yang would not speak for him.

Because Ma Weijun had once publicly contradicted Director Yang about the issue of housing distribution.

Gao Lisheng said worriedly: "If we don't have the protection of our master, our lives will be difficult in the future."

Cao Yue was not afraid when he heard this.

His identity is special, and no one can do anything to him unless he violates fundamental principles.

However, after all, Ma Weijun was his master, so Cao Yue asked, "Brother Gao, don't you have any clues at all?"

As long as the thief is caught, everything will be solved.

"It's not that easy."

Gao Lisheng shook his head and said, "To be honest, no one knows exactly how much scrap metal has been thrown away, because some of the scrap metal in the factory is piled up in the warehouse, and some is piled up outside. New scrap metal is generated in the workshop every day, and no one has the time to weigh it."

"Workers now wear thick clothes. If they hide a piece of scrap metal in their cotton-padded clothes, it won't be visible from the outside. We can't search them one by one, right?"

"We have tens of thousands of people in our steel mill!"

"Besides, the workers are not pushovers. If the body search causes public outrage, the master will be charged with a greater crime."

Cao Yue was helpless after hearing this and asked, "Is the master here? I'll go see him."

"No need to go. I was just called to a meeting and will be criticized again."

Cao Yue suggested: "Then let's go to the place where the scrap metal is piled and check to see if there are any clues."

Gao Lisheng smiled bitterly: "Master took me there several times, but found nothing."

"Hey, Xiao Gao, it's time to go to work. What are you doing? Why don't you go out on patrol?"

At this moment, Deputy Section Chief Li Yuan walked over with a cold face.

Gao Lisheng immediately nodded and said with a smile: "Deputy Section Chief Li, I'll go right away."

When Li Yuan heard the words "Deputy Section Chief Li", his face turned even colder and he scolded:

"The factory has been missing things for several days in a row, and several of our leaders have been scolded by their superiors, but you are still so careless and don't take it seriously. Do you still have a sense of responsibility and collective honor?"

"I'm sorry, Deputy Chief Li, I'll go on patrol right away."

Gao Lisheng was furious. There were several colleagues in the security department who were slacking off, but the guy named Li was only targeting him. It was such a bully!

When Li Yuan heard the word "deputy" again, he disliked Gao Lisheng more and more.

He snorted coldly and ignored him. Then, like a chameleon, he spoke to Cao Yue in a gentle and caring voice:

"Xiao Cao, how are you? If you're not feeling well, you can rest at home for a few more days."

"Health is the capital of revolution. There is no rush to work. You must take good care of your health. This is the most important thing."

Cao Yue said seriously: "Thank you for your concern, Chief. I am now well and can go back to work."

"That's good."

Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction, turned and left.

Gao Lisheng was speechless. This was too much discrimination!

And it’s so damn blatant!

On the way to patrol, Gao Lisheng was still indignant and cursed:

"Big softie, I curse you to give birth to a child without an asshole..."

"Big Soft Skin? Is this Deputy Section Chief Li's nickname?"

Cao Yue thought of Li Yuan's chubby appearance and his face full of soft fat, and this nickname was very descriptive.

Gao Lisheng said proudly: "This is the name I gave him, what do you think?"

not so good!

Cao Yue shook his head. No wonder Li Yuan targeted Gao Lisheng. It turned out that this was the root cause.

If Li Yuan really replaces Ma Weijun as the head of the security department in the future, Gao Lisheng will have hard times ahead.

To put it nicely, Gao Lisheng has a bad temper, which we can call rough and rude; to put it bluntly, we can call him brainless. He dares to give his leader a nickname, which shows that he thinks he hasn't been given enough trouble!

"Brother, you don't know that not long ago our security department assisted the police outside in arresting a criminal. The man pulled out a gun and fired a shot. Li Yuan was so scared that his legs went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground."

"In the end, Deputy Section Chief Chen and I had to bring him back. He brought shame to our security department in front of so many people."

Cao Yue advised: "Brother Gao, don't tell anyone about this matter from now on, otherwise Deputy Section Chief Li will target you again."

Gao Lisheng muttered, "This guy is petty and is taking revenge on me. If he didn't have Deputy Director Li backing him up, I would have quarreled with him earlier."

Cao Yue looked at Gao Lisheng speechlessly. Isn’t this quite clear?

He has a strong backer and is your direct supervisor. How dare you offend him if you don't have a strong backer? !

……

It was almost noon when Sha Zhu finally dragged his better body to the cafeteria.

"Master, are you okay?"

Apprentice Ma Hua ran over diligently to support him.

"Oh! It's no big deal."

Sha Zhu pretended to be nonchalant and explained, "When I'm unlucky, even drinking cold water makes my teeth ache! I finally got some rest yesterday, but some wicked person splashed some water on the steps in front of my house. Just imagine, it was so cold, and it froze in a blink of an eye. I slipped and fell without paying attention! How unlucky!"

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, the people in the cafeteria all looked strange. They tried not to laugh and just shrugged their shoulders. It was too difficult to hold back.

“Puff, hahaha——!”

Liu Lan laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward, pointing at Sha Zhu with tears streaming down her face.

Seeing his colleague's reaction, Sha Zhu had a bad feeling and hurriedly looked at his apprentice Ma Hua.

Ma Hua was also feeling very uncomfortable, and explained in a low voice: "Master, just after I got to work this morning, Xu Damao, who lives in the same courtyard with you, ran over and said that you were...beaten by Cao Yue, who lives in the same courtyard."

"Worthy!"

Sha Zhu's old face turned red and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Damn Xu Damao, I won’t forgive him.

Ma Hua's next words made Sha Zhu even more defensive.

"Xu Damao wanted to turn his mouth into a loudspeaker and publicize this matter to the whole factory. Many workers came to the cafeteria to watch the fun this morning. When they heard that you were not there, they all left again."

"Master, you...I'm afraid everyone in the factory knows that you were beaten."

Sha Zhu’s eyes went dark, he was doomed this time!
