Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

When Zhou Tie mentioned the sad things in the past, his face was very ugly. He took a bite of the food on the plate, put down his chopsticks and said slowly, "That's how I passed the second-level fitter exam. The next day, Yi Zhonghai pulled me to a corner. He asked me how I passed the second-level fitter exam. Although I was very angry with Yi Zhonghai in my heart, I still gritted my teeth and said that Yi Zhonghai gave it to me."

Zhou Tie clenched his fists, his eyes full of anger. He said with a dark face, "But what I didn't expect was that the steps of second-level fitter Yi Zhonghai taught me were wrong." He Yuzhu was stunned and said, "Wrong, he gave you the wrong fitter steps, isn't he afraid that something will happen to you?"

Zhou Tie smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, the word 'wrong' is not a good generalization. The benchwork techniques he taught us are somewhat difficult. Yi Zhonghai told me this in private. Under Yi Zhonghai's forced questioning, I had no choice but to tell him that I had paid someone to teach me benchwork techniques. Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything at the time, but since then, my job has been either moving parts or on the way to move parts. I also tried to report this to the workshop director, but it was of no use."

Xu Damao said, "That son of a bitch is such a jerk. He's obviously trying to drive you to death. How can you get promoted if you move parts every day? Using the word "sanctimonious" to describe him is simply an insult to the word. Come on, Brother Zhou, let's have a drink and congratulate you on escaping the hell."

Zhou Tie nodded with a smile, and clinked glasses with He Yuzhu and Xu Damao. He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao and said, "How are you doing in the Propaganda Department now? When can you get a permanent position?" Speaking of something related to himself, Xu Damao said very proudly, "My dad plans to take me for a year, and then he will find a job as a projectionist in the north of the city. Then I will be one of the few projectionists in the steel mill. If Master Zhang is transferred, I will be the only projectionist in the steel mill."

Xu Damao felt very happy. Projectionists were a very popular profession these days. As long as Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies, even the village head and the village party secretary had to build a good relationship with Xu Damao. This made Zhou Tie very envious. A fitter was still not as good as a projectionist.

During this time, Zhou Tie toasted He Yuzhu with a few more glasses of wine. He Yuzhu could see that Zhou Tie was very grateful to him. Soon, they drank all the wine. Gao Tie pursed his lips and said, "Master He's cooking skills are really great. I can't eat enough. Especially the braised pork. This braised pork is very oily but not greasy. It tastes so delicious."

He Yuzhu was very satisfied with what Zhou Tie said. After all, to praise someone's cooking skills is to eat all the dishes he cooked. Most of the dishes on the table have been eaten. Does this make He Yuzhu feel very accomplished? After the three of them finished their meal, they chatted in the house again.

At Yi Zhonghai's house, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Fugui, Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu were also eating and drinking. Jia Dongxu took a bite of meat and said unhappily, "Master, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, this He Yuzhu is simply outrageous. We should teach him a lesson. Otherwise, how can you save face?"

Yi Zhonghai felt that what his apprentice said was right, this silly Zhu must be dealt with. But there was really no way during this period, and he didn't know how to deal with him. Liu Haizhong thought it made sense, he felt that during this period of time in the courtyard, these young people took them, the old guys, less and less seriously.

Liu Haizhong licked his fat face and said, "Dongxu is right. We must let He Yuzhu know that in this courtyard, we are the ones who keep our word. Although He Yuzhu is the canteen director of a steel mill, he must be under our supervision in the courtyard."

Yan Fugui did not express any opinion. He did not want to offend Yi Zhonghai or He Yuzhu, a young man with potential. Yi Zhonghai frowned and said that he did not want to target He Yuzhu. Of course, he wanted to do so. But how should he target He Yuzhu? How can he target He Yuzhu to bring him down?

Jia Dongxu thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He said, "Master, I have an idea. I heard from my mother recently that this idiot Zhu eats and drinks well at home every day. He only makes more than 30 yuan a month at most. He must have done something shameful. Master, I think we have to report him secretly and teach him a profound lesson."

Yan Fugui frowned and retorted, "What are you doing? I heard from He Yuzhu that the leftovers in the cafeteria were all agreed by Director Yang." Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Uncle, you were deceived by He Yuzhu. I heard from my mother that He Yuzhu sometimes brought meat back from outside. This kid must have stolen it in the kitchen."

Liu Haizhong nodded and said in agreement, "Yeah, that's right. Now this idiot Zhuzi is the boss in the cafeteria. Isn't it easy for him to steal something from the cafeteria? We must catch this black sheep and kick out this garbage for our Red Star Steel Mill."

Liu Haizhong was thinking, if he could really get evidence of He Yuzhu's corruption, wouldn't his dream of becoming an official come true? Liu Haizhong had an almost morbid obsession with becoming an official. He had to become an official to show those people that he was a very capable person.

Yi Zhonghai thought that Jia Dongxu's idea made sense. He glanced at Yan Fugui and said with a smile, "Old Yan, among the three of us, only your family and Sha Zhuzi's family have a particularly good relationship. You also know that he and I have a very bad relationship now. The three of us are the bosses, so we should work together to deal with He Yuzhu. What do you think?"

Yan Fugui subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "I am now a level 7 fitter in the steel mill. In a few days, our steel mill will start the assessment again. To be honest with you, I will definitely pass the exam to become a level 8 fitter this time. If I can pass the exam to become a level 8 fitter, I must take another apprentice. I heard that your eldest son is about to graduate, don't you want to...?"
