Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

In the spacious and bright office of the steel mill, Director Yang was sitting behind his desk, his eyes fixed on Gu Nan who was sitting opposite him. He leaned forward slightly and said in a kind tone: "Gu Nan, I know very well that you are now the best among the sixth-level fitters in our factory! However, letting you take on the position of deputy director of the canteen will definitely not affect your normal work on weekdays. You just need to go to the canteen to take a look and walk around when you are free. If an important leader comes to inspect one day, you can cook for them and show off your cooking skills. This should not be a difficult task for you, right?"

Gu Nanduan sat on the chair, looking at Director Yang calmly, and asked slowly, "Director, I want to ask you, how are the specific arrangements for the salary and benefits of this part-time job?"

Hearing this, Director Yang was stunned at first, then he laughed as if he had suddenly realized something. He waved his hand, indicating that Gu Nan didn't need to worry, and then replied with a smile: "Oh, so it's about this matter! Don't worry, our factory will definitely not treat you unfairly. Your salary as a level 6 fitter will be retained intact, and as for the deputy canteen director, the salary and benefits will be paid according to the treatment of the 18th level deputy section level. In this way, your income will be much more generous than before! How about it, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

After hearing this, Gu Nan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile, and nodded in response: "Since Director Yang has said so much, if I refuse again, it would be too tactless and too disrespectful to you! Okay, I agree, and I will do my best to complete this task, please rest assured!"

Director Yang nodded with satisfaction, a pleased smile on his face again, and then said: "That's good, that's good! Okay, there's nothing else to do, you can go back to the workshop to work first. Regarding your appointment as deputy director of the canteen, we will officially announce it to all employees in the factory tomorrow."

Gu Nan went back to work. Ma Jiefang asked about it, and Gu Nan smiled and said that he would know tomorrow.

Ma Jiefang looked at Gu Nan mysteriously and did not ask any more questions: "Hey kid, come on, go to work."

As night fell and the lights came on, the whole courtyard began to become noisy. In the midst of this hustle and bustle, Liu Haizhong, holding two bottles of wine in his hands, strode towards Yan Bugui's house. Along the way, he was thinking about how to convince Yan Bugui to stand on the same front with him.

Arriving at the door of Yan Bugui's house, Liu Haizhong raised his hand and knocked on the door, shouting loudly: "Old Yan, are you home? I have something to talk to you about!"

When Yan Bugui in the room heard the voice, his heart sank. He knew without thinking that Liu Haizhong came to him for the position of Yi Zhonghai, the big boss.

Yan Bugui originally did not want to get involved in this matter, because he knew very well that even if he did not intervene, Yi Zhonghai's position as the boss would basically be untenable, after all, this incident happened.

However, if he acted rashly, he might not only become the target of public criticism, but would also completely offend Yi Zhonghai, and his life in the Siheyuan would probably not be easy in the future.

However, when Yan Bugui saw the two bottles of wine in Liu Haizhong's hand, his thoughts changed instantly. As the saying goes, if you eat someone's food, you will be grateful, and if you take someone's gift, you will be soft-hearted. Since Liu Haizhong brought a gift to his house, it would seem a bit unkind to refuse him.

Besides, these two bottles of wine seem to be of good quality. If you miss this opportunity, you may not be able to enjoy such fine wine again in the future. So, Yan Bugui quickly got up and opened the door, forcing a smile on his face and said, "Hey, Lao Liu, why did you suddenly remember me? Come in, come in!"

Liu Haizhong walked into the room, put two bottles of wine on the table, and then said straight to the point: "Old Yan, I came to you today to discuss with you the matter of the eldest uncle in our courtyard. Look, Yi Zhonghai has been the eldest uncle for so many years, isn't it time for a change? Why has it always been him? Don't we have the qualifications to compete?"

After hearing this, Yan Bugui muttered to himself, "Humph, that's easy to say. Everyone knows that Yi Zhonghai has a high reputation in the hospital. It's not that easy to be replaced. But... these two bottles of wine are quite tempting."

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui pretended to be in deep thought, and after a while he slowly said: "Old Liu, what you said is indeed worth considering. But Yi Zhonghai is an old man in our hospital after all, and it is not easy to pull him down."

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong quickly stepped forward and said, "Old Yan, as long as we work together, I don't believe we can't accomplish this. Think about it, after this is done, you and I will be the boss in the hospital. After all, what Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu did this time was very embarrassing, how can we have the nerve to be the boss."

Yan Bugui thought it was right: "Old Liu, you know the key to this matter does not lie with Yi Zhonghai. After all, Yi Zhonghai did such a shameful thing, but don't forget that there is someone above Yi Zhonghai."

Liu Haizhong understood immediately: "Old Yan, you are talking about the deaf old lady in the backyard, right? This matter is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but I don't believe that the deaf old lady has no weaknesses. As long as she has weaknesses, it is the condition for us to suppress her."

Yan Bugui looked at Liu Haizhong, and didn't expect that Liu Haizhong was thinking so far ahead, so he looked at Liu Haizhong and said: "Old Liu, what you said is not wrong, but I still want to ask, do you know what the weakness of the deaf old lady is? You know, she is a five-guarantee household."

Yan Bugui naturally understood that the deaf old lady's status as a five-guarantee household was not obtained through proper means, but this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, it was not him who earned the position of the uncle, so he just had to give Liu Haizhong a heads-up.

When Liu Haizhong heard what Yan Bugui said, he understood immediately: "Yes, we can check the issue of the deaf old lady being a five-guarantee household, but we could use this matter to threaten the deaf old lady before."

So Liu Haizhong looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, it's getting late. I should go back and have a good rest. After all, I have to go to work tomorrow."

Yan Bugui nodded: "Lao Liu, I won't see you off then."

After Liu Haizhong left, Yan Bugui looked at his wife and said, "I don't know what Liu Haizhong is thinking. He wants to threaten the deaf old lady. If things go wrong, I might even become the second uncle."
