Siheyuan: Making a fortune every day, breaking the defense of the whole courtyard

As soon as Zhang Xiao dared to sit down, he was called into Director Yang's office by his secretary.

"Uncle Yang, what did you ask me to come here for this time?" Zhang Xiao asked puzzledly.

"What else could it be? It's just what happened in your compound a while ago," Director Yang gestured for Zhang Xiao to sit down. "The higher-ups have already issued instructions that this matter must be dealt with seriously."

"So, Uncle Li is still in the meeting at the Ministry of Industry?" Zhang Xiao glanced around the office but did not see Deputy Director Li.

"Yes, he just called to inform me that the meeting has already been held. The punishment now is to fire Yi Zhonghai." Director Yang took a sip of tea.

"Deputy Director Li and I would like to ask for your opinion."

"I don't have any ideas, it's just..."

Before Zhang Xiao finished speaking, the door of Director Yang's office was violently pushed open. A man rushed in, shouting as he walked: "Director, you must not fire Master Yi Zhonghai. He is a veteran in our factory and an eighth-level fitter."

Director Yang was also startled by the sudden noise. He stood up abruptly and said unhappily, "Silly Zhu, what do you want to do? Didn't you see that Zhang Xiao and I are talking about something? Get out."

The person who came was He Yuzhu, known as Shazhu in the factory.

Hearing Director Yang's scolding, he did not back down, but said excitedly: "Director, you can't fire Master Yi Zhonghai just because you are angry! You should know how much he has contributed to our factory. Moreover, he is an eighth-level fitter. Such a technical backbone is rare in our factory!"

Director Yang frowned and said sternly, "Shazhu, I know that Master Yi Zhonghai has good skills, but he must be punished for making a mistake. This incident has a huge impact. If we don't deal with it, how are we going to manage other workers in the future?"

Sha Zhu was so anxious that his face turned red. "Director, you can't be so heartless! Master Yi Zhonghai has always been the pride of our factory, but this time he has been bewitched. If you really fire him, won't that disappoint everyone?"

Director Yang looked at Sha Zhu and his expression softened. "Sha Zhu, I didn't want to do this either, but it has happened and someone has to take responsibility. Master Yi Zhonghai, as the team leader, did not fulfill his supervisory responsibilities, so he must accept the punishment."

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, his eyes firm, "Director, if you want to punish him, I have no objection. But please don't fire him, give him a chance. He is old, and it will be difficult for him to find a job if he leaves here."

Director Yang was silent for a moment and sighed, "Okay, I'll think about it. But I need to ask Zhang Xiao's opinion on this matter. After all, this matter is aimed at Zhang Xiao."

Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, Director. You are such a good person."

After saying that, Sha Zhu slowly turned around, looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Zhang Xiao, please let me go."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiao almost laughed out of anger. He looked at Sha Zhu with cold eyes and taunted him, "Sha Zhu, before you did this, did you ever think of letting me go?"

"You..." Sha Zhu gritted his teeth, very angry in his heart, but he still held back because he knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.

He took a deep breath and continued, "What do you want? As long as we can do it, I can promise you."

"Oh!?" Zhang Xiao was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at Sha Zhu again.

He didn't expect that this guy who always thought highly of himself and was self-righteous would actually admit his mistakes to him and even promised to meet any request he made.

This made him slightly change his view of Sha Zhu, and also made him more curious and wary of him.

"Really!?" Zhang Xiao's face was full of anticipation and excitement.

"Really." Sha Zhu nodded affirmatively, his tone firm and serious.

"Okay, I have a very simple request. As long as you can agree to it, I will immediately let Director Yang report my opinion to the higher-ups." Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

"You say." Sha Zhu frowned and looked at the other party warily, secretly guessing his intentions in his heart.

He coughed lightly, stared at her closely, and said slowly: "It's nothing, I just hope you can do me a small favor..."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu frowned even more tightly, thinking to himself: "Is this a small favor? I'm afraid it's not that easy..."

But now he had no reason to refuse. If he did not agree to Zhang Xiao, Uncle Yi Zhonghai would lose his job.

"You say." Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Xiao indifferently.

"As long as you can convince Yi Zhonghai to make some special parts for the steel mill. I can agree to this, and Yi Zhonghai will not have any problems."

Zhang Xiao said calmly.

"What?" Sha Zhu looked at Zhang Xiao in disbelief, "Is it really that simple?"

"Yes." Zhang Xiao nodded.

"Okay." Sha Zhu agreed, turned around and left the office.

"Zhang Xiao, you are so confused. Haven't these two people done enough troubles during this period?" Director Yang looked at Zhang Xiao with some disappointment.

"Uncle Yang, don't worry, this is a very beneficial thing for us." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

There is a reasonable request for wanting Lou Xiao'e to go to the south, otherwise under the current conditions there is really no way to leave the city safely.

Even if it's sneaking.

Although the previous life drama did not mention how Lou Xiao'e went to the south, given that one needs a letter of introduction to go anywhere now, the process definitely would not have been easy.

So Zhang Xiao decided to take out some things as a stepping stone to pave the way for Lou Xiao'e to go to the south later.

This road must be safe and reliable.

What Zhang Xiao took out this time was a higher precision lathe instrument. Although Zhang Xiao was able to make some parts, it took too much time.

Zhang Xiao doesn’t have so much time to make these parts now.

There is a sucker here, it would be a waste if you don't do anything.

As long as the most important things are in your own hands, it will be fine.

There is no need to worry about Yi Zhonghai playing any tricks. After all, he will have to use Zhou Yi's power to hand it over to the Ministry of Industry.

After hearing Zhang Xiao's answer, Director Yang nodded helplessly, "Since you said so, I will wait for your good news."

Level 8 fitters are still very scarce in this era. If Yi Zhonghai had not done this, the steel mill would never have made such a decision.

"Don't worry, Uncle Yang. Just wait and see." Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

"Okay then. I'll have someone release Yi Zhonghai later."

"I hope that after the rewards are settled, something better can be revealed. Otherwise, if I always come up with something better, it will really arouse suspicion."

Zhang Xiao couldn't help thinking on his way back to his office.
