I am doing well in the Siheyuan

About twenty minutes later, the bicycle drove into Yanzhi Lane.

The alley connects to Baishun Hutong in the north and leads to West Street in the south.

In the early years, there were many shops here that made and sold rouge and powder to the prostitutes in the "Eight Great Hutongs", hence the name Rouge Lane.

In the past, this place was "full of luxury cars and luxury vehicles, and the sound of friends drinking and having fun every night was deafening."

But now it is very quiet, just like most alleys in Beijing.

"Or, just send it here."

Ran Qiuye felt embarrassed to let Ye Ming take her home again.

If the neighbors saw it, there would be a lot of talk about it.

She doesn't like being judged.

"Then I'll come visit you another day."

Ye Ming did not insist.

But when I say “I’ll come back another day”, with what identity will I go?

These vague words made Ran Qiuye guess wildly in his mind, and he couldn't help but blush and his heart beat fast again.

After watching Ye Mingyuan go away, she smiled.

If I didn't know the direction of history, such peaceful days would be extremely comfortable.

Without thinking too much, Ye Ming turned the car around and started his journey home.

In an era without the Internet, rumors could spread throughout an entire city in a short period of time simply through word of mouth.

Ye Ming is quite popular in the steel rolling mill, and any slight movement can attract the attention and heated discussion of the entire factory.

In just the time it took to have breakfast, this matter had already become a hot topic of conversation among all employees.

It even overshadowed the topic of the new female apprentice in the locksmith workshop.

"Master Ye, where is that girl from? I heard she's a teacher? How is your relationship going now? Are you guys sure you're in a relationship?"

Once Liu Lan's curiosity was aroused, she couldn't stop talking.

The kitchen helpers widened their eyes. Master Ye’s love life was a big deal for the canteen and even the entire steel mill!

Qin Huairu was also curious about this. Ye Ming did things without any pattern to follow, which made it difficult to figure out.

"Are you so free? Have you finished the work at hand?"

Ye Ming deliberately frowned and scolded. He didn't like sharing his love experiences with others.

Liu Lan felt unsatisfied after not getting the answer she wanted, but she did not dare to ask any further questions.

They turned to Qin Huairu to ask another question that concerned them.

"Sister Qin, I heard that your sister came to the factory today to handle the entry procedures?"

"My cousin from the countryside. After I came to work in the kitchen, there was a vacancy in the workshop, so I asked her to take over."

Qin Huairu explained with a smile and her tone was light, but everyone in the kitchen understood the deeper meaning.

It is not easy to find a job in a steel rolling mill. The status of workers is so high, so is the iron rice bowl really an empty promise?

If you don't have any connections, how can you get in so easily?

I'm afraid Deputy Director Li came to the kitchen yesterday to discuss this matter.

Ye Ming was able to win the favor of Director Yang with his cooking skills, and you, Qin Huairu, are so close to Deputy Director Li. What do you rely on? The employees in the factory know it very well.

Although no one said it, deep down they despised such women who had no self-restraint and no regard for women's ethics.

Qin Huairu also knew what they were thinking, but she had long been accustomed to it. Since entering the kitchen, her spine has never been straightened.

In the forging workshop, the workers took a break from their busy schedule and discussed the matter in whispers.

"Hey, Master Liu, aren't Widow Qin and Master Ye from the kitchen both from your compound? Can you give us some inside information?"

"You have said everything that needs to be said. What else can I say? Besides, Ye Ming is no longer a member of our compound."

Liu Haizhong shook his work clothes and put on an arrogant look.

He is a seventh-level craftsman and occupies an important position in the workshop.

Liu Haiyang doesn't care who Ye Ming associates with, as long as it doesn't affect his work.

As I walked into the lounge and just picked up the thermos to pour some hot water to drink, the workshop director walked in.

"Liu Haiyang, is Liu Haiyang here?"

"Hey, Director, I'm here. What do you want to talk to me about?"

When he saw his leader arriving, Liu Haiyang didn't even bother to drink the water and immediately put on a flattering smile.

He shrank his neck, shook all the fat on his body, and trotted forward to meet him.

"Deputy Director Li has something urgent to discuss with you."

"Deputy Director Li?"

Liu Haiyang was shocked. He didn't have much interaction with Deputy Director Li on weekdays, so why did he suddenly come to him?

"Director, do you know what's going on?"

"I didn't go into detail. You'll know once you get there. Go quickly and don't keep them waiting for too long."

With a nervous heart, Liu Haiyang knocked on the office door.

"Please come in."

"Director Li, are you looking for me?"

Liu Haiyang had a big smile on his face, and despite his extra fat, he still nodded and bowed. Deputy Director Li looked at him like a puppy wagging its tail to beg for mercy.

However, Liu Haiyang was unaware of this and was secretly proud of himself.

He deliberately omitted the word "deputy", knowing very well that details determine success or failure, which is a science in officialdom.

"I have checked your file. You are a senior employee of the factory. The factory has recently emphasized in meetings that senior technical workers are the core force supporting the factory, and you will be given priority in future promotion opportunities.

There have been many problems in the factory recently. The main problem is that the grassroots management is lax and there is not enough attention paid to the moral quality and quality education of employees. "

At this point, Deputy Director Li glanced at Liu Haiyang intentionally or unintentionally, and then revealed the content of the resolution at the meeting.

"The factory has decided to establish a role model in each workshop and department to serve as a model and assist the director in strengthening the management and education of subordinate employees."

Liu Haiyang has always had a high opinion of himself, so he naturally understood the implication of Deputy Director Li's words.

This is to promote myself to be a model in the workshop!

The long-term efforts finally saw the light of day. Liu Haiyang was so excited that he could hardly control himself and his tongue was twitching.

"Director Li, don't worry. I have worked in the workshop for decades. I am definitely qualified for this role model and will be able to discipline the employees under me."

"You may not know that I manage all the more than 20 households in our compound by myself."

When Deputy Director Li heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Several recent incidents at the factory involved people from their compound.

Three people were thrown into prison within a month. Looking across the entire city, there were few courtyards with such a dense population of prisoners.

These people must have been kicked in the head by a donkey or caught in a door, but they actually boast about managing the compound like this as an honor.

Deputy Director Li didn't want to pay attention to such a stupid person, but thinking of what Qin Huairu had said before, he held back his temper and continued to ask.

"I remember Ye Ming used to live in the same compound as you, right?"

"Ye Ming?"

Liu Haiyang's heart tightened.

The private transaction between him and Ye Ming must not be known to Deputy Director Li.

"Yes, Ye Ming did live in our compound before, but later he moved away due to some misunderstandings."

"Some misunderstandings? What I heard was more than just a simple misunderstanding."
