Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

He used his position and connections to spread rumors and tried to get Zhang Liang to lose his position as deputy factory director. The investigation team found evidence and made it public.

The factory director announced the results of the investigation at a factory-wide meeting. "After investigation, we found that the recent rumors were all fabricated out of thin air. They were deliberately fabricated by some people out of selfish motives. The mastermind behind all this is Yi Zhonghai."

The workers were all shocked, and Yi Zhonghai stood in the audience, looking pale. He knew that his behavior had been exposed and he had nowhere to escape.

The factory director looked at Yi Zhonghai and said sternly, "Yi Zhonghai, you have worked in the factory for so many years. You should have set an example, but you did something like this. We have decided to deal with you seriously."

Zhang Liang stood aside, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't want to see Yi Zhonghai end up like this, but he knew that justice must be served.

After the meeting, Zhang Liang found Yi Zhonghai, and the two stood face to face in the workshop. Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and did not dare to look Zhang Liang in the eye.

"Master Yi, I never thought things would turn out like this." Zhang Liang's tone revealed complex emotions.

Yi Zhonghai finally raised his head, his eyes full of regret, "Zhang Liang, I... I'm just jealous of you. I shouldn't have done this, I'm sorry."

Zhang Liang sighed, "Master Yi, I have always respected you. I hope you can reflect on your mistakes and start over."

Yi Zhonghai nodded silently and turned to leave the workshop. He knew that he had to pay the price for his mistakes.

After this incident, Zhang Liang's reputation in the factory was restored, and everyone trusted and respected him more. He also learned a lot from this incident and became stronger and more mature.

One day, Qin Huairu brought her children to the factory to visit Zhang Liang. She smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, we have all heard about your recent situation. Everyone is concerned about you."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Sister Huairu, thank you for your concern. I'm fine. These difficulties will only make me stronger."

Qin Huairu nodded, "You have always been a strong child. No matter what difficulties you encounter, we will support you."

Zhang Liang looked at Qin Huairu with gratitude, and his heart was filled with strength. He knew that he still had a long way to go.

A few days later, the factory director found Zhang Liang again and said, "Zhang Liang, after this incident, we are more certain that you are the best candidate for the position of deputy factory director. I hope you can continue to work hard and make greater contributions to the factory."

Zhang Liang nodded solemnly, "Director, thank you for your trust."

He not only strives for excellence in technology, but also actively participates in management work. He leads his fellow workers to overcome difficulties one after another and achieve one achievement after another.

Under Zhang Liang's leadership, the mill's production efficiency has been continuously improved, and the atmosphere in the mill has been getting better and better. Fellow workers all say that Zhang Liang is their role model and the pride of the mill.

One day, the factory received an important project that required a batch of difficult orders to be completed in a short period of time. Zhang Liang led the team to work overtime and finally completed the task successfully.

The factory director announced at a factory-wide meeting, "The success of this mission is inseparable from the efforts of Zhang Liang and his team. We have decided to give Zhang Liang a special award to recognize his outstanding contribution."

After the meeting, Zhang Liang returned to the workshop, and his fellow workers came to congratulate him. Liu Haizhong patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Zhang Liang, you are really our pride. You must work harder in the future."

Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard and live up to your expectations."

Zhang Liang continued to lead his fellow workers towards a higher goal. He knew that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier, but he had the confidence and courage to lead everyone to make progress together.

One night, Zhang Liang was working overtime in the workshop when he suddenly received a call from Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai's voice was full of apology, "Zhang Liang, I know I made a mistake, but I really hope to get your forgiveness."

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Master Yi, the past is the past. As long as you can reflect on your mistakes and start over, I am willing to give you a chance."

Yi Zhonghai said gratefully, "Thank you, Zhang Liang. I will definitely work hard to correct my mistakes and win everyone's trust again."

From that day on, Yi Zhonghai began to work again. He was no longer the jealous person, but a hard-working and motivated worker. Zhang Liang and Yi Zhonghai became partners again, and the two worked together to contribute to the development of the factory.

Zhang Liang worked in the steel mill day after day, but he always had a love and yearning for music in his heart. Whenever he worked alone, he always liked to put on headphones and listen to those moving melodies. This allowed him to find a trace of peace and happiness in his hard work.

One evening, Zhang Liang was busy in the workshop as usual, wearing headphones and listening to soft music, but he never stopped working. Suddenly, Liu Haizhong came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Zhang Liang, are you listening to music again? You've been so busy with work lately, you should also make sure to rest." Liu Haizhong said with concern.

Zhang Liang took off his headphones and smiled, "Brother Haizhong, I listen to music to relax. I am indeed a little tired during this period, but fortunately, music can help me relieve stress."

Liu Haizhong nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, "Your method is good, but have you heard? The factory is going to hold a literary and artistic competition soon. This is a good opportunity to show your talents."

Zhang Liang was stunned, and his interest was immediately aroused. "Art competition? When exactly is it?"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Next month, the factory manager has already issued a notice. Everyone can sign up and show their talents."

Zhang Liang nodded and began to think about it. He has always loved music and taught himself to play guitar. This art competition might be a good opportunity to show himself.

A few days later, Zhang Liang returned to the courtyard after get off work and found some neighbors gathered in the courtyard, discussing something enthusiastically. He walked over and found Qin Huairu, Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong and others were there.

"What is everyone discussing?" Zhang Liang asked curiously.

Qin Huairu smiled and replied, "Zhang Liang, we are discussing the art competition in the factory. I heard that you are also interested?"

Zhang Liang nodded, "Yes, I have always liked music, and I want to participate in this competition to show my talent."

Yan Bugui patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Zhang Liang, you are really multi-talented. You are so busy with work, but you still find time to practice music."

Liu Haizhong continued, "Zhang Liang, if you participate in the art competition, there will definitely be a lot of people supporting you. We are all looking forward to seeing your performance."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. I will do my best to prepare and hope not to disappoint you."

In the following days, Zhang Liang was busy with work and used his spare time to practice guitar. Every night when he got home, he would play for a while in the yard, and neighbors would often gather together to listen to him play.

One evening, Zhang Liang was playing guitar in the yard, and Qin Huairu came over with the children. She smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, your guitar skills are getting better and better. The children love to listen to you play."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Sister Huairu, thank you for your support. I also hope to have a good performance in the art competition."

Qin Huairu nodded, "I definitely will. You're working so hard, and everyone sees it. We'll all go and cheer you on when the time comes."

As the day of the art competition drew closer, Zhang Liang's expectations grew stronger. He carefully prepared a moving song, hoping to win everyone's love in the competition.

On the day of the competition, the factory auditorium was packed with spectators. Zhang Liang and other contestants were nervously preparing backstage. Liu Haizhong came over and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, "Zhang Liang, don't be nervous. You practice so well, you will definitely have an outstanding performance."

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and nodded, “Thank you, Brother Haizhong, I will do my best.”

When it was Zhang Liang's turn, the lights shone on him, illuminating his face. He picked up the guitar and gently played the song he had prepared for a long time.

The moving melody echoed in the auditorium, Zhang Liang's voice was clear and full of emotion, and listening carefully to his singing, Zhang Liang's heart was full of passion and confidence, and he poured all his love for music into this song.

After the song ended, warm applause broke out in the auditorium, and the audience stood up and cheered for Zhang Liang's outstanding performance. Qin Huairu, Liu Haizhong and other neighbors also applauded excitedly in the audience, feeling proud of Zhang Liang.

The factory manager walked onto the stage and said with a smile, "Zhang Liang, your performance was wonderful and moved everyone. Thank you for bringing us such wonderful music."

Zhang Liang held the microphone, his heart filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Director, and thank you for your support. Music is my passion, and I hope to bring happiness to everyone through music."

After the competition, Zhang Liang was named the best performer and received unanimous recognition and praise from the factory. He not only performed well at work, but also showed his talent in literature and art, becoming a star in the factory.

A few days later, Zhang Liang returned to the courtyard, and neighbors gathered around to congratulate him. Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, you did really well this time! We are all proud of you."

Liu Haizhong continued, "Zhang Liang, you are not only a technical backbone of our factory, but also a literary and artistic star in everyone's mind."

Zhang Liang said gratefully, "Thank you all for your support. You have given me motivation. Without your encouragement, I would not have achieved such results."

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Zhang Liang, you must participate more often in the cultural and artistic activities in our courtyard in the future. Everyone is looking forward to hearing you play the piano and sing."

Zhang Liang nodded, "I definitely will. Music is my passion, and I hope to share this joy with everyone."
