Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Fade Chen turned around and strode back to his own little house. He closed the door heavily, isolating himself from the noise and prying eyes of the outside world.

Under the dim light in the room, he closed his eyes and thought, quickly sketching out a blueprint for revenge in his mind.

It is difficult to shake the power behind Qin Huairu by his own strength, but he knows that as long as he finds the right opportunity, he can turn everything upside down.

Just as Chen Fei was immersed in thoughts of revenge, a clear whistle suddenly came from outside the door. It was Sha Zhu's unique sign, and also an unknown code between him and Qin Huairu.

Chen Fei raised a playful smile, quietly approached the door, and peeked out through the crack.

Qin Huairu responded to the sound and quickly rushed out of the house. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her usual gentleness.

She walked quickly towards Shazhu, and the two walked side by side, talking in low voices.

Sha Zhu seemed to notice something abnormal about Qin Huairu, especially her red and swollen eyes, which made him frown.

"What's wrong, Sister Qin? Who bullied you?" Sha Zhu asked with concern, with an unquestionable toughness in his tone.

Qin Huairu sighed softly, her eyes flickering, as if she was looking for the most appropriate words.

"It was Chen Fei...he...he made me suffer a little." She finally chose to point the finger at Chen Fei, trying to use Sha Zhu's desire to protect her to divert attention.

However, to Chen Fei, all this only strengthened his determination.

He smiled coldly, secretly thinking about how to drag everyone into this revenge drama and make them pay the price for their actions.

Walking in the night, he slowly entered a narrow alley. His figure elongated under the dim street lights, looking particularly lonely and determined.

Deep in the alley, in a small restaurant called "Juweizhai", the atmosphere was unusually warm.

Sha Zhu looked a little listless at the moment, sitting at the table with a frown on his face.

Across from him, Qin Huairu was looking at him with her sharp eyes, her eyes full of dissatisfaction and blame.

"Silly Zhu, are you so afraid of Chen Fei? Does he have three heads and six arms?" Qin Huairu's voice was sharp, piercing through the noise of the restaurant and attracting the attention of guests from several tables around.

Sha Zhu sighed and said helplessly: "Sister Qin, you don't know how evil that boy is now. Ever since he beat me in the competition at the factory last time, I feel that he is a completely different person. I... I really can't beat him."

Qin Huairu frowned even more when she heard that. She took a sip of tea and sneered, "Can't win? I think you lost in your heart first. And you, you keep asking me to find you a wife. How many times have you mentioned your cousin? It's all because you are not motivated!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's face darkened, but then softened again, and he muttered in a low voice: "Sister Qin, you know that with my conditions, which girl would be willing to be with me? Your cousin is so pretty, how could she be interested in me?"

Qin Huairu raised a meaningful smile and gently put down the teacup. A calculating look flashed in her eyes. "Okay, don't act pitiful in front of me. I will bring my cousin to you before the end of the month, but you have to promise me that you will be a man and not be suppressed by Chen Fei all day long."

Sha Zhu's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly: "Don't worry, as long as my cousin is willing to come, I will definitely perform well!"

Qin Huairu nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject, her eyes became cold: "However, we can't just let it go. Chen Fei, that kid, is arrogant because he has some skills. We have to teach him a lesson. I heard that he was recently promoted to the leader of the welding team. Let's make some moves from there."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, then a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "Sister Qin, you mean..."

Qin Huairu smiled slightly, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes: "That's right, let's make him fall from that position and cut off his source of income. Let's see how long he can be so arrogant!"

As the night deepened, the lights in Juweizhai seemed exceptionally bright. The conspiracy between the two was like an undercurrent, quietly changing everything that was about to happen.

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and shone on the huge chimney of the Yungang Steel Plant. The golden light formed a sharp contrast with the black steel, foreshadowing that the new day would be full of challenges and variables.

As usual, Chen Fei came to the workshop early, ready to start the day's work.

He was wearing heavy welder's clothes, holding a welding gun, his eyes focused and determined.

However, he didn't know that a storm against him was quietly brewing.

At this moment, the workshop director suddenly announced a decision that shocked everyone - due to work needs, Chen Fei would be transferred from the welder position to be responsible for warehouse management.

This sudden change made it difficult for Chen Fei to accept it for a while, but he soon realized that there must be a hidden story behind it.

Faced with the sudden blow, Chen Fei did not choose to remain silent, but decided to reveal the truth in his own way and defend his own honor and dignity.

On this day, the afternoon sun was blocked by clouds, adding a bit of depression to the already dull factory area.

Chen Fei had just got off work and was covered in sweat, but he could not hide the fatigue and determination in his eyes.

He was just about to go to the cafeteria to comfort his tired body with a simple meal, but he never imagined that the turning point of his fate was quietly approaching.

"Fade Chen, come here." Qin Huairu's voice sounded in his ears, with a subtle hint of coldness.

Qin Huairu, the factory accountant, is famous for her gentle appearance and shrewd methods, but her attitude towards Chen Fei is always full of inexplicable hostility.

Chen Fei stopped and walked towards Qin Huairu even though he was confused.

Standing next to him was Sha Zhu, the man who was known in the factory for his immense strength and straightforwardness, but at this moment he had a malicious smile on his face.

"Chen Fei, do you know? The factory has always been merciless to employees who have made serious mistakes." Qin Huairu's voice was soft, but like a sharp knife, piercing people's hearts.

There was an unspoken threat in his words, which made Chen Fei's heart sink suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Fade Chen frowned, trying to find the answer from her eyes.

Qin Huairu smiled slightly, and that smile contained too many things that Chen Fei could not understand.

"Nothing, just a reminder. However, I have an idea that may help you avoid unnecessary trouble." She changed the subject and continued, "I heard that the cafeteria is short of staff. Why don't I talk to Director Li and ask him to transfer you there?"

Hearing this, Fade Chen's heart suddenly became alarmed.

canteen?

That is not an easy place, especially with Sha Zhu's prestige in the cafeteria. If he really goes there, I'm afraid his life will be even more difficult.

But his expression remained calm, and he simply asked, "Why me?"

"Because we need you to leave your current position." Qin Huairu's voice was filled with unquestionable determination, "Only in this way can we ensure that certain things go smoothly."

Sha Zhu added, "Yes, Chen Fei, don't blame me. In this world, who doesn't work hard to make a living? But if you offend someone you shouldn't offend, you have to bear the consequences."
