Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

The water fee for our yard is calculated on a per-person basis. How will you charge for it in the future if you bring it in from outside without permission?"

He deliberately asked in an authoritative tone, hoping to embarrass the other party in this way.

The Ye family made him uncomfortable, and he wanted to retaliate in the same way.

Ye Chuan, who had been prepared, immediately said, "Don't worry, the neighbors won't be harmed by this.

From now on, our water bill will be doubled for you.

If you have any comments, we can discuss them.

But we will never take advantage.”

This stunned Yi Zhonghai. He originally just wanted to disgust the Ye family, but he got such a quick and generous response.

Not only was it double the price, but there was also room for bargaining.

For Liu Yue and Ye Yongshun, this water bill is nothing to worry about and they can afford it.

The convenience brought by use should be paid more.

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door, not knowing how to respond, and could only leave silently.

After the workers left, Liu Yue simply cleaned the kitchen and began to prepare meals.

The ingredients for lunch are vegetables and meat, and a refrigerated chicken is taken out to make chicken soup.

Tong Yao only felt nauseous in the early stages of her pregnancy, but since then she has had a good appetite and remained in good health.

Liu Yue noticed that her daughter-in-law neither liked sour nor spicy food. She observed for a long time but could not determine whether her grandson was a boy or a girl because Tong Yao ate everything.

During dinner, Ye Chuan and Ye Yongshun didn't really want to drink the soup, but in comparison, Liu Yue and Tong Yao enjoyed a lot.

Immediately after the meal, I received a message: a general meeting of the courtyard was about to be held and I needed to attend immediately.

Ye Chuan felt a little surprised, because apart from the installation of the water heater by themselves, there seemed to be no other major events in the yard today. Why would they hold a whole-yard meeting?

Ye Yongshun's face was very gloomy. As the chief steward, he should have held a three-party meeting to discuss before the meeting began. However, he was summoned to the meeting without knowing anything.

No one was in a hurry. Ye Chuan and his father slowly sipped tea, Liu Yue washed the dishes, and Tong Yao quietly read a book.

It was not until Yi Zhonghai came to urge them twice that the four of them calmly left their home.

At this moment, many neighbors have gathered in the central courtyard, including a deaf old lady who is resting on a chair.

Yi Zhonghai, with a sullen face, sat at the head of the table with Yan Bugui, who remained calm as usual. The remaining seat was naturally reserved for Ye Yongshun.

The hot summer makes people sweat on their cheeks and foreheads, especially in the bangs. The sweat is densely covered on the forehead and they keep wiping it.

Seeing the four members of the Ye family being late, Yi Zhonghai was quite angry: "Old man Ye, you are the manager of the courtyard, but you are late for the meeting. This is not right!"

Ye Yongshun was kind-hearted and wanted to brush it off with a few perfunctory remarks. However, before he could open his mouth, Ye Chuan, who had become serious, directly retorted: "Yi Zhonghai, my father is also the head of the hospital. Shouldn't you have informed him before the meeting? Do you want to be arbitrary? Besides, every family has something to do. We are busy all day and we are still accompanying you to play official roles?"

Ye Chuan's words were sharp and hit two points directly, questioning Yi Zhonghai's decision-making method. "You, what nonsense are you talking about!" Yi Zhonghai was furious. "Is what I said wrong? Have you really forgotten the process of our opening meeting? Do you want to ask the director to teach you again?"

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his anger and stopped being stubborn. He slowed down his tone and said, "This impromptu meeting is because of something. Your neighbor has doubts about your water bill, so I called everyone together."

Ye Chuan snorted. He had roughly figured out the intention of the conference - Yi Zhonghai wanted to use his power to humiliate him.

Liu Haizhong, who once held a leading position in the courtyard, stood up and tried his best to act in a businesslike manner:

"Xiao Ye, you..."

"Xiao Ye?" Ye Chuan immediately interrupted the words in his bangs and scolded.

He couldn't stand the other party's pretentiousness. If they wanted to step on his family, don't blame him for being rude.

However, he did not expect that the other party would not give him face at all: "Is it wrong for the elders to call you Xiaoye?"

"Elder? Who is your elder? Hehe! Director Du of the steel mill, Du Xiaotao, and Section Chief Yu Zeyi all politely address me as Director Ye when they see me. Who do you think you are?"

Ye Chuan said coldly.

You are obsessed with being an official in the steel rolling mill, and I am going to use the leaders there to put pressure on you!

When I watched his dramas in my previous life, the guy with the most bangs he disdained was this one.

Once this person came to power, he abused his power and showed his arrogance to the fullest.

Ye Chuan understood very well that as long as Liu Haizhong rose up, his family would be the first to suffer.

Therefore, his determination to suppress it remained unwavering:

"Okay, okay, you can call me Director Ye too. You are a junk collector, but you are so arrogant!" Liu Haizhong said with contempt. He only knew that Ye Chuan's position was the head of the scrap collection business team, and he knew nothing else. "Just tell me what you want to say!" Ye Chuan glanced at him and said lightly.

Liu Dahai pointed at the water heater on the roof of the Ye family and said, "I'm not sure what that thing you installed is, but it does waste water.

I don’t agree with your agreement on water charges! I am a level 6 worker, and it doesn’t matter if I get paid less or more, but most of the people in our yard are ordinary workers, and I need to think about them! ”

Liu Dahai spoke firmly, as if he was really considering the interests of his neighbors from their perspective.

Ye Chuan smiled and looked at the other person coldly, and said slowly: "That's just a little electricity bill. For someone like me who gets paid as a level 20 cadre, this little expense is nothing."

After he finished speaking, the yard fell into complete silence.

Liu Dahai was stunned, Yi Zhonghai was also dumbfounded, and everyone looked at him in surprise.

Liu Yue and Ye Yongshun looked at each other. Their child was level 23 a few months ago, how come he became level 20 so quickly?

Everyone knows that Ye Chuan has a small leader in the scrap recycling company, and his salary is not much different from that of an ordinary scrap buyer.

But now when they heard that his income was that of a level 20 cadre, everyone's faces showed surprise and confusion.

What kind of level is level 20? Even the deaf old lady opened her eyes slightly, in disbelief.

Director Wang of the Street Office, the head who controls the affairs of the entire compound, only receives a salary of level 22.

Ye Chuan had just worked for a year, but his position was two levels higher than Director Wang, which shocked everyone.

The neighbors exchanged glances with each other, only Old Yan had an obvious expression, and it was not surprising that he was level 23.

How can a person’s position be low if he can ask the senior management to ask for leave directly for him?

The others were silent, but Xu Damao said proudly: "This is my brother's ability!"

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

At this moment, he regretted listening to Liu Dahai's gossip and calling a meeting for the whole factory for a trivial matter. "You said you are already a level 20 cadre?" Liu Dahai looked unconvinced. "Sir, do you really believe it?" This was Sha Zhu's words, full of disdain, "Are you really stupid? Our factory director Yang only has a level 18 salary. How can a scrap collector get a level 20 salary? He is kidding you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Dahai's heart sank.

He had a bad impression of Ye Chuan, and since Ye Chuan was always low-key and didn't show off, he seemed to think he was justified after being criticized by Sha Zhu.

Old Yan glanced at Liu Dahai as if examining a liar.

Can the jeep at the gate of the courtyard be fake?

Director Yang of the steel plant drives a jeep, but the principal of their Red Star Primary School still rides a bicycle to get off work!

Yi Zhonghai remained silent and let Liu Dahai grit his teeth.

Whether Ye Chuan can fight back or not, biting off a piece of meat is considered an ability, but hitting the steel plate has nothing to do with him.

Ye Chuan saw through his thoughts and calmly lit a cigarette and said, "Yi Zhonghai, this is your final warning! If you dare to tease your neighbors again, I will report you to the Street Office.

Please consider giving up this position of chief steward."

The main reason why he had not contacted Director Wang was that all the trivial matters in the hospital still had to be handled by Yi Zhonghai. Ye's father Ye Yongshun never cared about those trivial matters, and Yan Bugui was also too busy to handle them. These trivial matters still depended on Yi Zhonghai to solve.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with panic, and he argued: "Master Liu felt that the arrangement of water charges was inappropriate, so he called a general meeting!"

"He told you to go die, so you went? He said it was inappropriate, so you didn't think about it? Even if there is a problem, you can come to me directly. It's just a few words of conversation. Is it necessary to hold a general meeting with fanfare?" His disregard for Sha Zhu was normal, as if it was just a name that was accidentally mentioned, and not a real nickname.

This Sha Zhu's name really lived up to his name. No one regarded him as an arrow, but he insisted on bumping into it. He was really stupid. "Ye Chuan, do you know what your action means? Pretending to be a superior to squeeze the old man!" Seeing that Ye Chuan ignored him, Sha Zhu was deeply hurt.

Liu Haiyang reacted at this time and stammered in agreement: "Yes, yes, do you understand your mistake? Impersonating a public official is a serious mistake!"

Ye Chuan glanced at Yi Zhonghai and smiled, "What do you think?"

Shocked by the other party's sharp words, Yi Zhonghai knew that the other party was not lying.

Isn't it because Ye Chuan went to see Director Wang that Liu Haizhong's position as the vice president was due to him? He grumbled in his throat, but was speechless.

Ye Chuan smiled, took out his new work ID from his pocket and threw it on the table beside him.

This certificate was reissued after he returned to the island country. Because of his great contribution, Director Xu even promoted him to the rank of twentieth grade.

Yi Zhonghai held up the certificate with trembling hands and took a look. It was exactly as the worker had described, with nothing missing.

After examining it, he gently put it back on the table. Ye Yongshun was smoking leisurely beside him. He was somewhat interested in his son's promotion, but he could also ask his son about it at home tonight.

Yan Bugui picked up the work permit with Ye Chuan's photo and information on it: technical consultant of the Second Electronics Factory, official rank 20.

After he carefully read it, he quickly stood up and walked to Ye Chuan, respectfully returning the certificate to its owner with both hands. "Director Ye, your certificate."

Ye Chuan took it indifferently, without responding to Sha Zhu and Liu Haiyang, and turned to Yi Zhonghai and said: "Since someone is questioning our water fee standard, it's up to you. Just pay a fixed amount of five yuan per month from now on."

After saying this, Ye Chuan didn't wait for a reply and took Tong Yao and her mother home.
