Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

However, this is just an appearance.

Under the shadow of the Red Star Steel Mill, Sha Zhu and Ma Hua, bringing a pound of pork and ten eggs, knocked on Director Li's door with trepidation.

Director Li, a notorious greedy and lustful person in the factory, is the key figure in their revenge plan.

Even though they understood this, they had no way out. After all, it was Chen Fei's calculations that put them in this situation.

The door opened and Director Li had a look of displeasure on his face, obviously surprised by the visitor in the evening.

"Director Li, we heard that you like fresh pork and local eggs. This is a little gift from us." Sha Zhu said as he handed over the gift.

Director Li's eyes lingered on the gift for a moment, then he snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "I don't need any gifts. What are you doing? Do you think that if you give me a gift, I will help you deal with Chen Fei and change the factory's decision?"

Ma Hua hurriedly explained: "Director Li, you misunderstood. This is just our respect for you and has no other meaning." There was a hint of pleading in his tone, but Director Li's attitude did not soften.

"Respect? Do I need your respect? Can I change the management's decision just because I say so? Go back and stop dreaming!" Director Li's voice was filled with unquestionable indifference.

Sha Zhu's heart tightened. He knew that the hope of returning to his job was slim, but he was still unwilling to give up.

"Director Li, we understand your difficulties. These gifts are really just out of respect for you. We will not make any other requests."

Director Li's eyes fell on those simple gifts again, as if weighing their value.

Finally, his attitude softened a little: "Okay, since you are sincere, I will accept it. But don't expect me to do anything for you."

As Director Li finished speaking, Sha Zhu and Ma Hua felt sad.

It was almost impossible to deal with Chen Fei through Director Li, and their road to reinstatement was almost dark.

After Director Li closed the door, Sha Zhu and Ma Hua walked back to the cold street in disappointment.

They originally thought they could find a glimmer of hope through Director Li, but they didn't expect this result.

"It seems that we can only find a solution ourselves." There was a hint of unwillingness in Ma Hua's voice.

"Well, maybe it would be more reliable if we find a way ourselves." There was helplessness in Sha Zhu's voice, but a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

The two of them had suffered so much from Fade Chen that they were unwilling to give up even the slightest hope.

They decided to re-plan. Even if they couldn't deal with Chen Fei through Director Li, they had to find other ways to achieve revenge.

As the night deepened, the figures of Sha Zhu and Ma Hua gradually walked away under the dim street lights, their hearts filled with determination.

Although the road ahead is unknown, they know that as long as they don't give up, one day they will find a way to make Chen Fei suffer.

The atmosphere at Director Li's home seemed a little tense.

Director Li's eyes shifted between Sha Zhu and Ma Hua, as if trying to find out the real purpose of their visit.

"Are you really doing this just out of respect? No other purpose?" Director Li's voice was filled with scrutiny and confusion.

Ma Hua looked at Sha Zhu, and after getting the latter's signal, he took a deep breath and decided to tell their true intentions.

"Director Li, we do have a request, but it has nothing to do with the gift. We want to talk about Chen Fei's matter."

"Chen Fei? The Chen Fei who made you suffer?" Director Li raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very interested in this topic.

"Yes, Chen Fei." Ma Hua's voice was filled with resentment. "We all know that Chen Fei's girlfriend Yu Li is a very attractive woman. She has a great influence on Chen Fei."

Director Li's eyes gleamed, "Yu Li, I've heard of her. She is indeed a rare beauty. Why are you mentioning her?"

Ma Hua observed Director Li's reaction and said carefully, "We suggest that the factory hire Yu Li and let her become one of us. In this way, Chen Fei may be more focused on work. At the same time, we can also influence Chen Fei through Yu Li."

Director Li showed a thoughtful expression on his face. "Hiring Yu Li? That's an interesting suggestion. Do you think she will accept it?"

"We will try our best to convince her." Sha Zhu suddenly interrupted, his voice full of determination, "Chen Fei is being unjust to us, we must find a way out. Yu Li is our only chance."

Director Li nodded slowly. "Silly Zhu, I heard that there is a deep conflict between you and Fade Chen. What is going on?"

Sha Zhu was silent for a moment, then spoke his mind: "Fade Chen was once my good friend, but he betrayed me, made me take the blame, and even caused me to lose my job. He is an ungrateful guy."

"So, you want to deal with Chen Fei because of personal grudges?" Director Li's tone was tinged with sarcasm.

"Not entirely." Sha Zhu argued, "Chen Fei's behavior has also had a bad impact on the factory. His presence has affected the harmony of the factory."

Director Li smiled slightly. "Harmony? Silly, do you think I will believe these superficial articles? However, Yu Li, whom you mentioned, does arouse some interest in me. Well, you can try to convince her. If she is willing to come, I will consider giving her a position."

Sha Zhu and Ma Hua looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.

This may be the best opportunity to deal with Chen Fei.

As the night deepened, Sha Zhu and Ma Hua left Director Li's home.

They felt more relaxed than when they came in. Although they knew there were still many difficulties ahead, at least they had found a new direction.

In Director Li's study, Sha Zhu finally couldn't help but express his feelings about the unfair treatment he suffered in the factory.

"Director Li, you don't know that everything Chen Fei did to me has put my life in trouble. I just want to be treated fairly."

After hearing this, Director Li was silent for a while, as if he was digesting Sha Zhu's words.

Then, he nodded slowly, "Shazhu, I understand how you feel. In this factory, everyone may have their own calculations, and I will keep your affairs in mind."

Then, Director Li showed an excited expression on his face, "However, the plan you proposed regarding Yu Li is indeed interesting. We can try to see if we can use this method to balance the power in the factory."

Ma Hua and Sha Zhu looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.

Director Li continued, "However, this matter must be kept secret. If Chen Fei knew about our plan, everything would be ruined."

"Director Li, don't worry, we won't leak a single word." Ma Hua hurriedly assured.

Sha Zhu also nodded vigorously, "Yes, Director Li, we understand the importance of this matter."

Walking in the night, Ma Hua couldn't help but feel proud of his plan, "Shazhu, what do you think? Our plan should be successful this time, right?"

Sha Zhu took a deep breath of cold air and secretly praised Ma Hua's strategy in his heart, "Ma Hua, this time we really have to rely on your brain. If we can influence Chen Fei through Yu Li, then we will have hope of seeing Chen Fei in trouble."
