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

After learning the whole story, Yang Weimin decided to take Long Er and the others back to the steel mill and talk behind closed doors.

After all, if these things were handled in public, no matter what the outcome, it would have a huge negative impact on the image of the steel mill.

So he stood up and said, "Everyone, please go away. Our steel mill will handle this matter properly. Please rest assured!"

After hearing Yang Weimin's words, the crowd did not move. In their minds, the image of the steel mill had been almost ruined by the Yi Zhonghai incident, and someone even revealed that Yang Weimin had violated the rules by promoting Yi Zhonghai's work grade.

Naturally, no one would believe what Yang Weimin said. At that time, most people were simple and kind. They were all worried that once everyone left, the steel mill might attack Grandma Zhao and others.

Yang Weimin felt extremely embarrassed when he saw that there was no movement. He knew that this meant that everyone did not trust him. Now was not the time to talk about these things. He had to find a way to resolve Zhao Jiefang's family issue first.

Otherwise, if this matter gets out of hand again, I would probably not even be able to keep my current position, let alone my future career.

Yang Weimin found that although this matter was Zhao Jiefang's business, it was obviously the young man who made the decision on the scene, so Yang Weimin suddenly turned around, looked at Long Er and asked: "Comrade, what is your name, what is your relationship with Zhao Jiefang?"

Long Er's heart tightened for a moment but he quickly recovered and replied, "My name has nothing to do with you. As for whether I have any relationship with the Zhao Jiefang family, you don't need to know."

After hearing this, Yang Weimin narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Long Er thoughtfully, and then asked: "Oh? So, you have no relationship with Zhao Jiefang's family. If so, then what are you doing here?"

After hearing this, Long Er pretended to be innocent and said, "Director Yang, since we are here to solve the problem, there is no need to try to gain connections or ask questions. I am worried that you will do something bad to me in the future."

When Yang Weimin heard this, he was so angry that his face turned blue, and he almost couldn't hold back his curse. He stared at Long Er and said angrily: "What do you mean by this? Do you think that I, a factory director, would do something to you for such a small matter?"

Long Er sneered, met Yang Weimin's gaze fearlessly, and said, "Director Yang, I am just an ordinary citizen. You are the high and mighty director. Who knows if you will abuse your power for personal gain?"

Yang Weimin was so angry at Long Er's words that he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He realized that if this continued, both sides would only be stuck in endless quarrels and unable to resolve the problem.

So, he suppressed his anger and tried to speak in a calm tone: "Okay, stop arguing, let's go back to the factory first."

Long Er didn't want to let Yang Weimin go just like that. Not to mention that he was the backer of Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, just for the sake of Grandma Zhao and the others, he couldn't go into the steel mill with Yang Weimin.

Only with everyone's witness will this negotiation be more beneficial to Grandma Zhao's family.

"Okay, Director Yang, don't even think about bringing us to the steel mill and discussing this behind closed doors. I've also made it clear to you that I am now the full representative of Grandma Zhao's family, and I don't trust you.

Yi Zhonghai was able to do so many immoral things under your leadership, but he was still able to thrive in the steel rolling mill. I find it hard to believe that he did not have the protection of leaders like you.

In this regard, for the personal safety of me and Grandma Zhao, I still think it would be better to resolve the matter here, with so many people witnessing it.

I believe that if you are sincere and actively compensate, people will naturally have a better impression of your steel mill."

Yang Weimin knew that this young man was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that he would actually put all these things out in the open.

But now the initiative is in their hands, Yang Weimin could only agree reluctantly. Moreover, Long Er was right about one thing. If the problem can be solved perfectly this time, then with so many people watching, it will have a positive effect on the image of the steel mill.

"Okay, since you don't trust us, we'll handle it right here at the gate."

"Okay, Director Yang, you are indeed a high-ranking official. You can bend and stretch. Of course, we are not scumbags like Yi Zhonghai. We don't ask for much from the steel mill.

First of all, Zhao Jiefang’s workstation was sold directly by Yi Zhonghai without getting authorization from Grandma Zhao, although Yi Zhonghai was the main culprit in the whole incident.

But the steel mill was able to sell the deceased’s workstation at will without the family’s consent or authorization. Is this a management issue at the steel mill?”

Although Director Yang didn't want to admit it, but when he thought about it carefully, it was indeed true. If the steel rolling mill had conducted stricter audits, such things could have been avoided.

"Well, the steel mill does bear a lot of responsibility for this matter. We acknowledge that."

"Okay, since you admit it, that's fine. Our demands are not high. Regarding the workstation, we only ask the steel mill to return the workstation that originally belonged to Zhao Jiefang to the Zhao family. At the same time, the person who bought the workstation also needs to give the Zhao family 100 yuan in compensation.

Do you think this is reasonable?"

Director Yang thought about it for a while and felt that there was no problem.

"Well, your request is indeed not excessive. I can agree to it right here."

Before Long Er could continue speaking, Sha Zhu appeared out of nowhere, ran straight to Director Yang, and spoke in a flattering manner.

"Director Yang, since Zhao Jiefang's workstation has been resolved, what are you going to do with my workstation that Yi Zhonghai sold?"

Sha Zhu's sudden appearance really scared Director Yang.

It turned out that after hearing the gunshots, Sha Zhu immediately put down his work and ran over in the direction of the gunshots to watch the fun.

As a result, when Sha Zhu arrived at the gate, he saw Grandma Zhao and the two brothers Zhao Shan and Zhao Hai, holding banners.

Sha Zhu immediately understood that the Zhao family had come to the steel rolling mill to find the factory leaders to resolve a problem.

That's just perfect. Sha Zhu immediately had an idea in his mind. He planned to wait until the factory solved the Zhao family's work position problem, and then he would step out. He would surely be able to get similar compensation.

The result was indeed very similar. Although Yang Weimin was unhappy when he saw Sha Zhu jumping out, he still agreed to Sha Zhu's request. The steel rolling mill provided Sha Zhu with a workstation. As for how he planned to deal with this workstation, it was entirely up to Sha Zhu himself.

At the same time, he also asked the former canteen director to return the money from reselling He Yuzhu's workstation to Sha Zhu. As for the person who bought the workstation, he still had to compensate Sha Zhu with 100 yuan.

This made Sha Zhu leave contentedly, but in the crowd, there was a pair of eyes staring at Sha Zhu, with a sly smile on his face from time to time.

After seeing Shazhu leave, Long Er immediately continued speaking.

“Director Yang, now that Sha Zhu’s problem has been solved, we should move on to solving the Zhao family’s problem.

Zhao Jiefang's original pension of 500 yuan was actually taken away by Yi Zhonghai with his signature, and Grandma Zhao had no idea about this money. I don't need to say more about the responsibility of the steel mill in this."

"Well, I understand. There are indeed many problems in the management of the steel mill. We will definitely make improvements in the future to ensure that such things will never happen again."

"Stop, stop, stop, Director Yang, we are not here to listen to your promises, but to solve the Zhao family's problems.

Since you have already acknowledged your responsibility this time, the remaining 400 yuan out of the original 500 yuan compensation should be paid by you.

At the same time, you also need to compensate the Zhao family three hundred yuan, because your negligence allowed Yi Zhonghai to take advantage of this loophole to do bad things.

As a result, the two children, Zhao Shan and Zhao Hai, are now nine and ten years old respectively. However, because the family has no money, they have not started school yet. They can only pick up garbage nearby all day to supplement the family income.

"I'm only asking you to pay me 300 yuan for the four or five years that were delayed. You probably won't object, right?"

"Well, regarding the compensation you mentioned for the Zhao family, I can guarantee that within a week, the Zhao family's workstation, the compensation for the person who bought the workstation, the pension supplemented by the steel mill, and the compensation of 300 yuan will all be realized.

I hope everyone can monitor our steel mill at any time."

"Okay, since you've agreed to it and there are so many witnesses, I won't ask you to sign a guarantee. Let's see what we mean by action. If you regret it halfway, we don't mind going to the Ministry of Industry or the State Council to make a scene."

"Don't worry, I, Yang Weimin, can do what I say."

"Okay, I'll trust you for now, Grandma Zhao, let's go home first."

Afterwards, Long Er took Grandma Zhao away from the steel mill. When the others saw that the problem was solved, they also left and went about their own business.

As for Zhou Jin, he took Lou Xiao'e to see a movie today. Although they were all old films, he still enjoyed watching them with his beloved ones by his side.

After watching the movie, Zhou Jin took Lou Xiao'e to eat at Lao Mo's. This was the only western restaurant in the old city. Not only was it expensive, but it also required special tickets. However, Zhou Jin had a system and had quite a few tickets for Lao Mo's restaurant.

After handing in the tickets at the door, Zhou Jin and Lou Xiao'e walked into the restaurant. After sitting down, the waiter came over quickly to take the order.

"Let's have a can of braised beef, a portion of braised prawns, a bowl of red cabbage soup, a plate of cream grilled mixed vegetables, a plate of cold cuts of ox tongue, and finally a piece of chestnut cake." Zhou Jin ordered the dishes skillfully, then turned to look at Lou Xiao'e: "Xiao'e, do you want to eat anything?"

Lou Xiao'e shook her head, indicating that she had no other requests. So Zhou Jin handed the menu to the waiter and asked her to place the order and prepare the food.

While waiting for the food to be served, Zhou Jin was not idle. He chatted with Lou Xiao'e while carefully observing the environment of the entire restaurant.

This western restaurant is beautifully decorated, with many exquisite paintings hanging on the walls, gorgeous carpets on the floor, and soft and warm lighting, creating a romantic atmosphere.

At this time, the restaurant was already full of customers, some of whom were enjoying the food while others were chatting in low voices.
