I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Hasn't he collected enough junk over the years? It's not an exaggeration to say that his house is simply a scrap recycling station. Ye Ming is willing to introduce you to this business because he is giving face to Master Guan. Don't be ungrateful.

It won’t be long before you realize how lucky you are to have received Ye Ming’s kindness.”

The reason why Marquis Polan was willing to spend so much time and effort teaching Han Chunming was because Han Chunming was the younger generation he favored and the one chosen by Master Guan.

After these words, Han Chunming gradually calmed down and began to seriously think about his future path.

Han Chunming's work is gradually getting on track. If he wants to achieve great things, he must learn to let go of the sense of shame.

At the same time, Ye Ming also arrived at the steel rolling mill early to wait for the results of the processing.

During this period, undercurrents were surging within the steel mill. The employees were respectful to him on the surface, but in private they had their own ulterior motives. Only they themselves knew everything they did.

Ye Ming knew that these people longed for a fair judgment.

Justice must be served and this announcement is of great importance to them.

"Now let me interrupt you with a job change announcement. Now let me interrupt you with a job change announcement..." After breakfast, the familiar female voice mixed with electromagnetic interference came from the radio station.

In an instant, everyone stopped what they were doing and listened quietly.

"In view of the fact that the current director of Chenguang Machinery Factory, Comrade Zhao Gang, has little experience, it is decided that from now on, Comrade Zhao Gang will be relieved of his post as director and transferred to the position of deputy director of the machinery factory. The former deputy director Comrade Liu Jianshe will temporarily serve as the director. This is hereby announced!"

Although the announcement is short, its meaning is profound.

The news came so suddenly that the employees of the machinery factory took a moment to digest the change.

The entire huge machinery factory exploded in an instant.

"Did I hear it wrong? Zhao Gang was demoted now?"

"Look, I told you so. Even if he has a lot of backers, can he be stronger than our army of workers? He has done so many unethical things, and he finally got his comeuppance!"

"Old Li, that's enough. Director Zhao hasn't offended your family. Others are fanning the flames, why are you joining in the fun?"

"Hey, that's not what I meant. If we workers don't unite, how can we fight against those leaders who abuse their power and do whatever they want?"

For the mouxieren, Zhao Gang's demotion is more satisfying than his direct dismissal. They regard it as a major victory for the ordinary working class.

"Hey, Lao Wang, did you see that? What did I say? Zhao Gang has done so many bad things, how can he get any good results? This demotion is a sign. This guy has started to have bad luck, and his arrogance will not last long."

When He Dahai saw that He Letian was becoming complacent again, he sat there with an unpleasant look on his face.

"That's enough. Zhao Gang hasn't completely fallen yet. He was just demoted from factory director to deputy director. He can still suppress us with just one sentence."

Qin Shufen also interjected, saying that she was helpless about He Letian's big mouth habit.

"Hey, I'm just saying this casually."

"Even if you say it casually, you can't say it carelessly!"

He Dahai retorted with a serious face.

The result of this major move was just to demote Zhao Gang to deputy factory director.

He didn't know the twists and turns involved, but it was definitely not as simple as outsiders speculated.

Moreover, the newly appointed factory director was also promoted by Zhao Gang.

In terms of qualifications, the new factory director does not have a strong background.

He Dahai would never believe that his taking this position had nothing to do with Zhao Gang.

It seems that the superiors have compromised with the public's dissatisfaction, but in fact there is no fundamental change - Zhao Gang still has the final say in the machinery factory, but his payroll may be reduced by a hundred or eighty yuan every month.

Throwing all the daily work to Liu Jianshe, Zhao Gang entered semi-retirement state early.

After get off work in the evening, the news quickly spread throughout the old streets and alleys of the city.

The news of Zhao Gang's demotion caused some jealous people to make up stories about him in private, but no one was stupid enough to actually come and make trouble.

After all, Zhao Gang is still the deputy director of the machinery factory.

As night falls, the courtyard loses its former tranquility.

Yan Fugui was discussing the news they had just learned with his second aunt when Yan Jiefang, wearing a neat suit and tie, walked into the yard drunk.

"Hey, what are you doing today? Where did you get this outfit?"

This kid of mine hangs out with a bunch of bad friends all day long. He goes out before dawn and comes back drunk every night. I don't know what they do during the day, and he refuses to tell me when I ask him.

He actually wore a suit today and looked a lot more energetic.

"Clothes? Isn't it obvious that I bought them?"

"This set must be over 200, right? Spending so much money on clothes, how can you survive?"

Yan Fugui was well aware of his son's character. Although he didn't have any great abilities, at least he wasn't a spendthrift.

There must be something fishy going on today, and he had to get to the bottom of it.

Yan Jiefang deliberately kept the matter in suspense, but when his father kept asking him questions, he had no choice but to confess his smuggling business.

"Trading TV sets? Isn't that smuggling? Jiefang, are you crazy? Don't you know that smuggling is illegal?"

Second Aunt lowered her voice, her face full of tension.

In this era, most housewives like her seek stability and do not want to make a fortune.

Yan Fugui felt relieved after hearing this. If it was a smuggling business, then all the abnormal things before him could be explained.

He was not a rigid and pedantic person. He only talked about the teachings of Confucius and Mencius in daily life. Faced with huge profits that were within his reach, there was no reason for him to let them go.

Although Yan Fugui's salary was not high, after years of frugality, the wealth he had accumulated was naturally far beyond what Yan Jiefang could compare to.

Xu Damao had already made plans and secretly laid out his plan.

He was completely unaware of the plight of Yan Bugui's family, and Ye Ming returned home on time like a normal person.

I happened to meet Han Chunming unexpectedly at the gate of the courtyard.

"Hey, look at what you're wearing. It's much more pleasing to the eye."

Han Chunming had been dealing with junk all day, and his originally handsome face had become covered in dust and dirt.

Ye Ming teased with a smile.

Feeling quite uncomfortable on his first day at work, Han Chunming just wanted to lie in bed and have a good rest.

"Please don't make fun of me. Collecting junk is not a job for humans. The junk collector made me sort out old cotton wool and duck down for the whole day. You have a good relationship with him, but we are not the same kind of people!"

Han Chunming complained, but he had no choice but to accept the reality and dragged his tired body into the compound.

This scene happened to be seen by Cheng Jianjun, and he secretly became cautious.

Even if you were working in the boiler room of a steel mill, you wouldn't end up in such a miserable state.

Since then, the discussions about Ye Ming finally subsided after several years.

Han Chunming got up at dawn every day and followed Hou Paolan through the streets and alleys.
