Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

On the surface, Liu Haizhong has been very low-key in Siheyuan in the past two years, but Lin Geng is very clear that Liu Haizhong has done many small tricks against him behind the scenes. He has secretly reported him many times, trying to ruin his reputation, or to ruin his future, or even to put him to death.

If the old guy's savings had not been drained by him, Lin Geng would have dealt with him long ago. But now that Lin Geng saw that Liu Haizhong was becoming more and more agitated, he finally decided to find an opportunity to deal with this old guy. As the old saying goes, if you don't punish him for three days, he will tear the roof off the house. It's time to give Liu Haizhong a good lesson.

However, although Lin Geng disrupted the original plot development, he also changed Sha Zhu's fate of being sucked dry by Qin Huairu's family for a lifetime. After he came, he rescued Sha Zhu from the clutches of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, and helped Sha Zhu marry Zhao Erya and start a family. Moreover, Zhao Erya also gave birth to a son for Sha Zhu, which made Sha Zhu very happy.

However, Sha Zhu's original trajectory did not change completely. He was still taken by Director Yang to the big leader's house, helped the big leader cook, and was appreciated by the big leader.

This time, Xu Damao also followed Director Yang to the big leader's house. However, unlike the original drama, because of Lin Geng, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu have reconciled in recent years. They are no longer like in the original drama, where they fight each other as soon as they meet, dislike each other, and fight openly and secretly.

Now Xu Damao and Sha Zhu have a pretty good relationship, especially after Qin Huairu left Siheyuan. Without Qin Huairu, the troublemaker, Siheyuan has become more harmonious. Xu Damao also learned a profound lesson from the last breakup with Lin Geng. He knew that he could offend no one but Lin Geng, so he tried every means to reconcile with Lin Geng. During this period, his relationship with Lin Geng and Sha Zhu has been restored, and they get along quite well.

So this time when Xu Damao and Sha Zhu went to the big leader's house to show a movie, Xu Damao did not say bad things about Sha Zhu to the big leader's wife. Although he still tried to curry favor with the big leader's wife, he was not driven away by the big leader as in the original drama. He showed a movie for the leaders at the big leader's house and received praise from the big leader and his wife.

However, the big boss still likes Sha Zhu more. He praises Sha Zhu's Sichuan cooking skills and regards Sha Zhu as a friend regardless of age difference. He often asks Sha Zhu to go to his house to cook a few dishes for him when he is free. Their relationship is quite harmonious.

Sha Zhu is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, and he is a simple-minded person. He is very tolerant of the boss's temper. Even after the storm, when the boss lost power, Sha Zhu still went to cook for him as usual. He did not avoid the boss as soon as he saw him lose power like other people did, which made the boss quite pleased.

Even when the big boss had to leave the city and head south to avoid the storm, Sha Zhu still ran to see him off, which moved the big boss very much.

Also because Sha Zhu was appreciated by the senior leaders and Lin Geng kept reminding him, Sha Zhu got rid of many of his previous bad habits in the factory. His relationships with his colleagues in the cafeteria and the leaders in the factory became much more harmonious, and he did not do things like in the original drama, where he stood up for Qin Huairu and beat up Li Huaide.

Moreover, under Lin Geng's reminder, Sha Zhu is now more respectful to Li Huaide. When Li Huaide asked him to cook for him, he was very dedicated and also received Li Huaide's recognition.

Li Huaide was originally in charge of logistics, and the canteen belonged to the logistics department. Therefore, Li Huaide was also Sha Zhu's direct superior. Seeing that Sha Zhu was much more obedient now, even though Sha Zhu could not be considered his man, he was still relatively close to Director Yang. Considering that he was just a cook, it didn't affect anything.

So in order to win over Sha Zhu, Li Huaide took the initiative to propose to promote Sha Zhu to the position of squad leader of the second canteen. Director Yang naturally went along with it and did not express any objection, so Sha Zhu successfully became the squad leader.

As for Xu Damao, at this time, because he had not married Lou Xiao'e, he was naturally not influenced by the Lou family. In addition, this guy was good at currying favor with leaders and was very good at creating atmosphere at the wine table. So after Lin Geng's introduction, Li Huaide asked Xu Damao to prepare wine several times. Xu Damao created a good atmosphere at the wine table, which made Li Huaide very satisfied.

Moreover, Li Huaide heard that Xu Damao and Lin Geng had a good relationship, so Xu Damao gave Li Huaide a generous gift in private. The Propaganda Department was also under Li Huaide's management. In the spring of 1965, Xu Damao was nominated by Li Huaide to replace the retired former deputy chief of the Propaganda Department.

After discussion at the factory office meeting, Li Huaide's nomination was finally approved, and Xu Damao was successfully promoted in 1965 to become the deputy section chief of the publicity department of the steel rolling mill.

Xu Damao is actually a smart man. He knows very well that his promotion to deputy section chief of the Propaganda Department is inseparable from Lin Geng's help. To a certain extent, Li Huaide is also giving face to Lin Geng. If it weren't for Lin Geng's help in recommending him to Li Huaide, Li Huaide would not promote him even if he gave him more gifts.

So after Xu Damao understood this, he did not dare to be arrogant in front of Lin Geng just because he became the deputy section chief. Instead, he tried to fawn on Lin Geng even more, and would go to Lin Geng to chat with him every day when he had nothing to do.

But when he saw that the younger generations in Siheyuan, Lin Geng, Xu Damao, and Sha Zhu were all promoted to leaders, Liu Haizhong felt extremely upset.

He wanted to be an official all his life, even if it was just to be a team leader in a workshop. However, after working hard for most of his life, he couldn't even become a team leader in the factory. After much difficulty, he could only become the second uncle who was in charge of a courtyard house, but he was overthrown by Lin Geng.

Now, looking at Lin Geng, Xu Damao, and Sha Zhu, the juniors in the courtyard, they have become leaders one by one. Even though Sha Zhu is not a leader, but just a monitor of the second canteen, he still manages dozens of people! But Liu Haizhong is now regressing instead of making progress. Not only has he failed to get a position, he has also been demoted to a fifth-level worker. No one in the factory likes him.

This made Liu Haizhong extremely upset. He sighed and drank at home every day. When he was drunk, he would hide at home and curse people, cursing Lin Geng, Sha Zhu, and even Xu Damao and the leaders of the factory.

He cursed the leaders for being blind. How could they promote morally corrupt young people like Lin Geng to be cadres while failing to see a good comrade like him? It was truly unforgivable. However, no matter how depressed he was, he could only complain secretly. He didn't even dare to fart in the factory.

Of course, Lin Geng heard about Liu Haizhong's madness, so he took out his little notebook and made a note of Liu Haizhong's situation. He was planning when to settle the score with Liu Haizhong and give him a hard lesson.
