Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

There are two flowers in bloom, each with its own beauty. Let’s talk about the one on the left!

As soon as Jia Dongxu arrived at the factory gate in the morning, he saw Zhou Jin riding a bicycle directly into the steel rolling mill, and quickly grabbed Yi Zhonghai beside him.

"Master, look, that's Zhou Jin, he really came to the steel mill."

Yi Zhonghai looked in the direction Jia Dongxu pointed, and sure enough, he saw Zhou Jin had just parked his bicycle and was walking towards the office building. An evil smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Dongxu, let's go back to the workshop first. Since Zhou Jin has come to work at the steel mill, we have plenty of opportunities to deal with him."

Soon the two men came to the workshop. Yi Zhonghai sat at his workstation and drank a sip of water from an enamel cup. The tea he drank was made for him by Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, Zhou Jin has come to work at the steel mill now. How do you think we should deal with him? But we don't know which department he will go to yet."

"Master, I haven't heard that the factory is hiring recently. His father's job position was sold a long time ago. A man who has only been a soldier for five years is definitely not an officer. I estimate that he is most likely to go to a workshop, but I don't know which workshop."

Yi Zhonghai listened to Jia Dongxu's analysis and nodded silently.

Jia Dongxu saw Yi Zhonghai nod, which must mean that he agreed with his point of view. Suddenly, he had another idea, which flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning.

"By the way, Master, since we don't know which workshop he will be assigned to, we can take the initiative to find the Personnel Department and ask him to come to our workshop. With your status as a seventh-level fitter, I believe the factory leaders will definitely give you this face.

By then, as long as he arrives in our workshop, he will be like Sun Wukong entering the Five Finger Mountain, at our mercy."

"Yes, Dongxu, this is a good idea. I will tell the workshop director later, and then go to Director Yang to ask Zhou Jin to come over. Then we can slowly deal with him and let him know the consequences of going against us."

Yi Zhonghai drank a sip of tea happily. At this moment, the scene of Zhou Jin coming to the workshop and being beaten up by him appeared in his mind. The smile on the corner of his mouth was like a flood that could no longer be suppressed.

In order to get Zhou Jin over before he was sent away, Yi Zhonghai put down the enamel cup after drinking his tea and went directly to the office building to find Director Yang.

Some people may wonder, since Yi Zhonghai thinks Zhou Jin is just an ordinary worker, why does he go to see Director Yang? According to regulations, the personnel department is fully responsible for the allocation of ordinary workers and it has nothing to do with Director Yang.

In fact, this was because Yi Zhonghai had a close relationship with Director Yang because of the deaf old lady and they often visited each other.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai thought that he was a seventh-level worker, the backbone of the factory, and would soon be promoted to an eighth-level worker. He was a little arrogant, and he looked down on many leaders, always acting like he was second only to the boss.

Of course, the status of the workers is indeed high now, and Yi Zhonghai is used to being the boss in the courtyard, and the pride of being in control of everything can no longer be changed.

So, except for Director Yang and his faction of leading cadres, no one in the factory likes Yi Zhonghai very much. Yi Zhonghai knows all this, so he will not go to the Personnel Department to run into trouble.

Yi Zhonghai didn't take the workshop director seriously at all. He would just let Jia Dongxu tell him when the time comes. It wouldn't take much time anyway.

Outside the factory director's office in the office building, Yi Zhonghai straightened his clothes and started knocking on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

"Please come in."

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and walked in.

"Master Yi, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"Director, this is what happened. I saw Zhou Jin come to our factory this morning. His father is Zhou Weiguo who died in the security department. I wanted to ask him if he came to work in our factory?"

"Yes, Zhou Jin has just been transferred to our factory. What's the matter? Does Master Yi have any ideas?"

"It's like this, Director. Xiao Zhou and I live in the same courtyard. His parents are not around, so I have treated him like my own son or nephew since he was young. Now that he has returned from military service, he happens to work in the same factory as me. Isn't this a coincidence?

I thought I couldn't just leave him alone, so I discussed it with the workshop director and came to ask you to assign him to our workshop. I will teach him the craft myself so that he can have a skill, which will not disappoint Lao Zhou's trust."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he pretended to wipe his eyes, as if tears were really flowing out. That look was so funny to outsiders.

Yi Zhonghai was still feeling moved by himself and thought he had performed very well.

But Director Yang standing by was a little confused. Looking at the somewhat hypocritical Yi Zhonghai, he also realized that something was wrong. If you two really have such a good relationship as you said, how could you not know that Zhou Jin has already joined the Purchasing Department? It seems there is a contradiction.

However, Director Yang still gave face to Yi Zhonghai for the sake of the deaf old lady, and Yi Zhonghai also openly supported his senior technicians.

"Old Yi, you probably don't know yet, but Zhou Jin joined the Purchasing Department as deputy section chief last week. Today is his first official day at work. It seems that you two uncles and nephews still lack communication. Well, let's go to the workshop first if you have nothing else to do."

When Yi Zhonghai heard the news, he immediately thought it was impossible, but since Director Yang said it himself, it must be true.

Having been embarrassed again in front of Director Yang this time, Yi Zhonghai had to leave the director's office in disgrace and return to the workshop.

On the way, Yi Zhonghai was still wondering, Zhou Jin had only been a soldier for five years, how come he became a deputy section chief after returning? He is a cadre, how is this possible?

As soon as Yi Zhonghai returned to the workshop, Jia Dongxu immediately put down the workpiece in his hand and came over like a dog.

"Master, how about he come to our workshop sometime? When the time comes, instead of teaching him the skills, I will just let him move steel parts and tire the bastard out."

Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh.

"Alas, he can't come."

"Why? He was assigned here as an apprentice. It's impossible for the factory leaders to not even give you this face."

"I just asked Director Yang directly, and he told me that Zhou Jin is not an apprentice, he has gone to the purchasing department to serve as deputy section chief."

When Jia Dongxu heard that Zhou Jin became the deputy section chief, he was suddenly as excited as a lit firecracker. He stood up and shouted without caring about the occasion.

"What! Deputy Section Chief? How could he be a deputy section chief when he's only 20 years old? He's only been in the army for a few years. I haven't heard that his family has any powerful relatives. Did he make contributions in the army?"

Jia Dongxu's action immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone stopped what they were doing and watched what the master and disciple were doing.

Jia Dongxu was also frightened by these people's sudden gaze and realized that he had lost control of his emotions. Fortunately, the workshop director was not there, otherwise he would have been scolded again.

So he sat down quickly, and suddenly Jia Dongxu seemed to have thought of something.

"Master, I remember now. Do you remember that Director Wang came to the hospital a few days ago to deal with Zhou Jin's house issue? In front of everyone, she said that Zhou Jin seemed to have retired from the army because of an injury, and also said that he had made meritorious contributions."

"Now that you mention it, it seems to be true. Not only did Director Wang mention it, but Zhou Jin himself seemed to have said that he had made contributions.

In this case, it will not be so easy to deal with him in the future. He has made contributions, is a martyr's relative, and now he has become a cadre. We must be careful in the future. If he finds out, we may be the ones to suffer.

We must hide and secretly collect evidence against him, and then wait for the right opportunity to kill him with one strike."

"That's right, Master. If you want to destroy others, you must first make them rampant. This is like putting bait before you hook a fish, or feeding a bird before you net it.

But we can first reveal the fact that he became the deputy section chief. I believe that if the third uncle knew about it, he would definitely come to Zhou Jin's house and ask him to treat us to a meal.

At that time, if he doesn't treat us, he will offend everyone in the courtyard. If he treats us, it means he is not that strong either. We can just have a meal with him and collect some interest first.

Even if Zhou Jin wants to take revenge, he can go to the Third Master. We won't lose out no matter what. Master, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, this young man is teachable. Not bad, Dongxu, let's do it this way. When we get off work, we'll do this and this, and then that and that, and that'll be all right."

"Master is still Master, he is just better. Even Third Master doesn't know who spread the rumor."

Zhou Jin didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would start making trouble for him after seeing him working at the steel mill. However, it didn't matter even if he knew. He was not a worker, so Yi Zhonghai couldn't do anything to him.

Moreover, his job does not require him to work in the office. He can come and go as he pleases. He has advanced cooking skills and never goes to the cafeteria to eat, so Shazhu's flipping of the wok is of no use to him.

After leaving the steel mill, Zhou Jin first found a place to have lunch, and then prepared to go home to rest. In the afternoon, he planned to visit a nearby village, both to understand the situation and to provide cover for himself to take the supplies in the space later.

As Zhou Jin pushed his bike into the middle courtyard, he saw Jia Zhang's triangular eyes staring at the apples on his bicycle.

"Damn little beast, he bought so many apples but didn't come to help our family. My family is already in such a difficult situation, he has no conscience at all." Jia Zhang muttered in a low voice.

Jia Zhang thought she was just cursing quietly to vent her anger and no one would hear her, but she had no idea that Zhou Jin's body had undergone two enhanced transformations and his vision and hearing were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

So as soon as Jia Zhang finished scolding, Zhou Jin stopped and turned to look at Jia Zhang.

"Old hag, who are you scolding? Your family is in financial difficulty. Which poor family can be as fat as you? If you lie down, you are no different from a pig.

Besides, why should I help your family? Don't forget that you have occupied my house for five years. Don't think that this matter can just be let go.

You still want my apple? I won’t give it to you even if I throw it away, so get out of here, you fat bitch.”

When Jia Zhang saw that Zhou Jin dared to scold her like that, she immediately quit and sat down in front of the bicycle.

"You are a dead end, you unlucky person. I am your elder, but you dare to scold me. You don't know how to respect the elderly. You must give me this bag of apples and compensate me 20 yuan. Otherwise, this matter will not end."

Jia Zhang's loud voice soon attracted all the aunties who were not working in the courtyard to the central courtyard.

"This Jia Zhang has started to blackmail people again."

"Do you think Jia Zhang can succeed this time? Zhou Jin knocked Sha Zhu away with one blow yesterday. He should be someone who is not easy to mess with."

"That's not necessarily true. Jia Zhang is a woman. He shouldn't do anything to her, right?"

"Don't forget, Jia Zhang was beaten by him on the first day he came back."

"Oh, by the way, Jia Zhang will probably suffer this time, but when did Zhou Jin buy the bicycle? It's really beautiful."

Zhou Jin ignored everyone's discussions at this time. He parked his bicycle and walked towards Jia Zhang's. It seemed that this old woman still thought that Yi Zhonghai had the final say in the courtyard house. She scolded him and asked him for money. So he must teach her a lesson today.

When Jia Zhang saw Zhou Jin's actions, she felt a little uneasy, but seeing that there were so many people around, and that she was not occupying his house today, and Yi Zhonghai was still the boss of the courtyard, she forced herself to suppress the fear in her heart.

"Little beast, what do you want to do? There are so many people here, and you still want to hit me. Lao Jia, come up quickly. There is a little bastard bullying me here, take him away quickly."

Zhou Jin walked up to Jia Zhang and grabbed her clothes with his hands, fearing that when they started fighting, Jia Zhang would be knocked down and he would have to help her up again, which would be troublesome.

He slapped the old woman with both hands, "You fat bitch, you don't even know how to write the word death. You rob people on the road, spread feudal superstition, and even dare to insult the relatives of martyrs. You deserve to be beaten to death. Come with me to the street office and wait to go to jail."

After saying that, he carried Jia Zhang out of the courtyard. Seeing that things had gotten serious, Qin Huairu hurriedly walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Zhou Jin, with tears in her eyes and a face full of grievance.
