Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang returned to the office and picked up the phone and said

“I am Zhang Renkang”

A loud laugh came from the phone and then said

"Comrade Renkang, I am Zhang Ting'an"

"You need to go back to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow to attend our medal awarding ceremony. Your superiors are going to give you a medal."

When Zhang Renkang heard that it was Zhang Ting'an who called, he knew that Zhang Ting'an must have submitted his report.

Smiled and said

"Give me a medal?"

"It should have been given to our entire delegation."

Zhang Tingan said with a smile

"The expedition team was also commended this time, but as the hero of our expedition team, you are the undisputed protagonist."

"The Ministry has specially applied for a Red Flag Medal of Honor for you."

"Although you only applied for the Third Class Red Flag Medal, this is a national honor. You are lucky!"

Zhang Ting'an was a little sad. This medal is not simple. It is used by the country to commend outstanding representatives of various industries who have made major and outstanding contributions. Only those who are in their 50s or 60s have dedicated their entire lives to their posts. Ten medals may not be issued in a year. Zhang Renkang won this medal when he was only in his twenties. It can be said that he is unique.

Zhang Renkang was not interested in other things, but he was very interested in these honorary awards. He said with a smile:

“All for the country and the people”

"I will definitely attend the meeting at the Ministry of Industry on time tomorrow"

Zhang Tingan warned

"Leaders from other departments will be attending tomorrow. You should be prepared. I think your superiors will want to meet with you individually."

"I heard that they are very interested in the materials you submitted earlier about training the automotive industry. Do you have time to prepare?"

As soon as Zhang Renkang sat down after hanging up the phone, he heard a knock on the door. Then Liu Feng pushed the door open and saw Zhang Renkang's face was very ugly. He said

"Secretary, after you left just now, the cadres below were very upset."

"There are a few who are making quite a fuss. I wonder if I should appease them first."

Zhang Renkang hummed and laughed and said

"Is it a big commotion?"

"How powerful?"

Liu Feng said

"They said that you, the secretary, are too overbearing. They have not made any mistakes, so why should they be transferred to other positions or demoted?"

"The head of the warehouse management department, Zhao Gang, is the nephew of the deputy director of the office of the Ministry of Agriculture. He threatened to report you to the higher authorities."

Zhang Renkang laughed and said

"Sue me?"

"Then let him sue. Starting tomorrow, our factory will no longer need Comrade Zhao Gang."

"You go and draft a document, write down the actual level of those who do not meet the cadre employment standards, I will sign it and send it to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and then forward it to the Ministry of Industry for dismissal."

"Comrade Zhao Gang is suspended from his post. I will arrange for someone to take over the warehouse management department later."

Zhang Renkang didn't care about the emotions of these junior cadres at all. If his background was strong enough, how could he let them come to work in the original machine repair factory? These junior cadres who were assigned to the machine repair factory really thought they were something special.

Besides, Zhang Renkang is willing to share the credit for this trip to Hong Kong Island. There are many superior departments and factions in the city who owe him favors. How could a few insignificant people want to sue him?

Zhang Renkang said nonchalantly

"You should hurry up and find suitable cadres to take over. If there are not enough, apply to the headquarters to transfer people."

"But this matter will have to wait until after tomorrow's meeting. I have to go to the Ministry of Industry to attend the awarding ceremony tomorrow morning and will be back in the afternoon."

"You host the factory-wide meeting and celebration, so I won't be attending the daytime schedule."

"I'll come back tonight and join you for the dinner party."

Liu Feng nodded. Since Zhang Renkang didn't care about them making trouble, Liu Feng felt relieved and went ahead with it.

Then Liu Feng said

"Secretary, should we cancel this step in the subsequent personnel adjustment work of this factory tomorrow?"

Zhang Renkang nodded. He hadn't thought of it for a moment. If he wasn't in the factory tomorrow, there would be no need to do this. Otherwise, Liu Feng might not be able to bear it.

Zhang Renkang confessed

"Let's focus on the celebration and commendation sections tomorrow, and I'll talk about the rest when I get back."

"Remember to pay attention to maintaining order at the scene. This is a gathering of thousands of people. If there is any trouble, it will be no small matter."

"You need to find some reliable people to keep a close eye on the crowd and don't be provoked by some people. What I'm most worried about is that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

"We'd better not shout slogans randomly, understand?"

Liu Feng nodded. He had already made arrangements for this, especially for the small number of people in the factory who were not very obedient. He had also arranged for someone to keep a close eye on them.

……

Zhang Renkang asked Tang Qi to take him back to the courtyard in the afternoon. As expected, he met Yan Bugui again at the gate. Yan Bugui had learned to recognize people by their voices. As long as he heard the roar of a car engine, he would know that Zhang Renkang was back.

Yan Bugui came over with a smile and said

"Renkang is back, this morning."

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"I have a meeting tomorrow, come back and prepare"

"Second Master, is there anything going on in the courtyard today?"

Yan Bugui smiled and said

"What could happen in the yard?"

"It's fine. I locked the door during the day when you guys went to work. I just opened it when I heard you were back."

Not long after Yan Bugui returned from the suspension of classes, he followed Song Jie's advice and locked the door during the day except when he went out to buy food or do errands, to prevent anyone from breaking in.

Then Yan Bugui said

"But the fool is gone."

“Before leaving, he came over to say hello.”

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"Just left today?"

"I haven't seen Silly Zhu in the yard much these days."

Yan Bugui smiled and said

"What else can I do? I'm going to find Qin Huairu."

"My husband heard from Yi Zhonghai's family that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu seem to be able to succeed?"

"It was Yi Zhonghai who helped mediate the conflict."

Zhang Renkang was stunned for a moment and smiled.

"Well, doesn't Shazhu have to stay in prison for a few more years? Is Qin Huairu willing now?"

Yan Bugui said with a smile

"Look, you don't understand this."

"If Shazhu is like this, he will never get married in this life. Being able to be with Qin Huairu means he has someone who understands his feelings."

"Qin Huairu is in such a situation, with three children, whether she is strong or weak, how could anyone want her?"

"Now that Jia Zhang is gone, Qin Huairu, a woman, must want to find someone to help her."

"Besides Shazhu, does she have any other choice?"

"At least Shazhu knows everything about Qin Huairu, and he listens to her every word. The key is that he kisses her three kids, right?"

Yan Bugui explained the situation of several people in a few words. Zhang Renkang nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"Second Master is still the one who sees things clearly"

"It would be fine if Shazhu came out and could live a good life with Qin Huairu."

"At least there's a worker at home who can bring in some income. With Shazhu's cooking skills, who knows, someone might actually ask him to cook for them, so he can still make a living."

Yan Bugui had a lot of gossip in his mind, and asked with a smile:

"Renkang, you said Shazhu still owes money to Xu Damao's family. Will Shazhu pay it back in the future?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and smiled

“That’s impossible to guess.”

"If it was the old Shazhu, he would have given it no matter what because he was too proud of himself."

“It’s hard to say now.”

Yan Bugui sighed

"That's right, the Jia family, Sha Zhu, and Yi Zhonghai have suffered retribution."

"People still have to plan."

"You can take advantage of what you deserve, but if you are greedy, you will not be able to keep it."

Zhang Renkang smiled and said

"It is said that the second uncle is a rare sensible person in our hospital."

"Come on, you are busy"

"I'm going to go back and pack up first. I have to go to a meeting early tomorrow morning, so I need to prepare well."

Zhang Renkang smiled and walked to the backyard, leaving Yan Bugui standing at the door, still sighing about his life, shaking his head and muttering something.
