The reason why Director Wang decided to come to the courtyard today must be because Liu Haizhong went to the street office to report in the morning. Liu Haizhong, this fake guy, must think that he has dealt a blow to Yi Zhonghai this time, and his behavior will definitely be praised by the street office.

In this way, with one rising and one falling, Liu Haizhong's status in the courtyard will definitely be higher than Yi Zhonghai's.

In addition, Zhou Jin has never given Liu Haizhong much face since he returned to the Siheyuan. He would only selectively praise him when he was needed to charge into battle.

Although there was no major conflict between the two, given Liu Haizhong's bureaucratic and stingy personality, he would definitely bear a grudge against Zhou Jin if he saw an opponent who posed a threat to him.

Well, in Liu Haizhong's mind, this hospital-wide meeting was called by Director Wang to praise him, and Zhou Jin happened to be late again, so Liu Haizhong would definitely take this opportunity to make trouble for Zhou Jin.

By suppressing his opponents, he improved his status in Director Wang's heart and increased his prestige in the courtyard.

Unfortunately, this fathead fish chose the wrong target again, so this time he was doomed to lose both the wife and the army.

So Zhou Jin stopped and looked at Liu Haizhong.

"Second uncle, you said I was late for the meeting and had no sense of time. Then let me ask you, when did you notify me of the meeting? What time did you notify me of the meeting? Who notified me?"

"Ah, this, this."

When Liu Haizhong heard Zhou Jin's question, he was stunned. He originally just wanted to find an excuse to teach Zhou Jin a lesson, and then Zhou Jin would admit his mistake and apologize to him, and the matter would be solved perfectly.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Jin asked three questions in a row, and these three questions directly woke Liu Haizhong up. No wonder Yi Zhonghai and Director Wang didn't say anything when they saw Zhou Jin was late.

This time, I suffered a loss. It was all my fault for being so impatient. Zhou Jin was not someone who was easy to mess with. I put the knife into his hands.

When Zhou Jin saw that Liu Haizhong didn't answer, he knew that he had figured it out. However, he didn't intend to let Liu Haizhong go just like that. He wanted to let this old guy cause trouble for him for no reason. If he didn't teach him a lesson, he would think he was made of clay.

"What's wrong, Uncle? What do you mean by keeping silent? I was just planning to put my bike away and go out for the meeting, but you start lecturing me without saying a word.

Now please answer my question. I want to see whose fault it is. Don't think that you can oppress the people at will just because you are the second uncle. Now the people are the masters."

Director Wang saw that Zhou Jin had cornered Liu Haizhong speechless, and thought to herself that Zhou Jin was indeed very capable, but she had no intention of stepping forward to resolve the matter.

She also knew Liu Haizhong, who wanted to be an official but had no ability, and who liked to show off but had no brains. If she hadn't been unable to find anyone else, she would have replaced Liu Haizhong long ago.

When Yi Zhonghai heard what Zhou Jin said, he also felt that Zhou Jin was too cruel and put a big hat on him directly. Then when he saw that Director Wang had no intention of taking action, he knew that it was time for him to take action. After all, the three uncles had the same interests.

They couldn’t let Zhou Jin suppress Liu Haizhong so easily, otherwise the status of the three of them would be in jeopardy.

"Xiao Zhou, what you said is a bit exaggerated. How can you bully the common people? He saw that everyone had been waiting for a long time before you came back, so he was anxious and lost his temper. But it must be for everyone's good."

Hearing Yi Zhonghai speaking for himself, Liu Haizhong also spoke up in agreement.

"Yes, I just felt a little anxious when I saw everyone was waiting for you alone, but I definitely didn't mean to oppress the people."

After hearing the excuses these two people gave, Zhou Jin could only chuckle.

"Second Uncle, even if it's as you said, your character is really hard to compliment!

As an uncle, you don't even have the most basic sense of propriety, let alone self-reflection.

You should know that you did not inform me of today's meeting in advance. I guess you only informed everyone after get off work, right? Then, I know whether you informed me or not.

Since you are making trouble for me for being "late", when I questioned it, you should respond truthfully, reflect on your own mistakes, and apologize to me sincerely, instead of looking for embarrassing excuses to shirk responsibility. Your behavior not only fails to solve the problem, but also exposes your narrow-minded, vindictive and evasive nature.

This is not the behavior of a responsible uncle! "

"I, I..." Liu Haizhong was confused at this time. He spoke too quickly and attacked Zhou Jin. As a result, he was severely criticized by Zhou Jin and lost face.

Even Yi Zhonghai didn't know how to refute Zhou Jin's remarks, let alone a brainless official fan like Liu Haizhong.

Yi Zhonghai did not expect that Zhou Jin would not give in at all and would not give him any face at all, but now in front of Director Wang, he could not say many things. Anyway, this was Liu Haizhong's business, so he just ignored it.

Yan Bugui, who was also a manager, was rejected by Zhou Jin in the morning, but given his character, he would definitely not do anything without taking advantage, so he did not say anything.

Director Wang was also disappointed when she saw the performance of these managers. If Zhou Jin was not too young and did not want to be in charge of the affairs of the courtyard, she would have wanted to remove these three people and let Zhou Jin manage the courtyard.

But now I can't just watch the fun anymore. No matter what, these three uncles were appointed by the Street Office. They more or less represent the face of the Street Office, so I still have to take care of it.

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, this matter is indeed Liu Haizhong's fault. Take the things home and put them away first, then come out to the meeting. I'll ask him to apologize to you later."

Liu Haizhong was originally filled with gratitude when he saw Director Wang speaking for him, but in the end he still had to apologize to Zhou Jin, which made him unhappy.

As an elder and the second uncle in the courtyard, how could I apologize to a junior? If this got out, how would I live as a human being and how would I be an official in the future?

Just as he was about to speak out his objection, he looked up and saw Director Wang's stern gaze, and immediately became intimidated. If he wanted to apologize, then he would apologize. People who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters.

Everyone in the courtyard was not surprised to hear Director Wang's words. Everyone had seen Zhou Jin's performance during this period, and he was indeed capable and resourceful.

Forget about asking that idiot Liu Haizhong to apologize. Yi Zhonghai was at the peak of his career back then, yet he still apologized to Zhou Jin obediently. You're just a fathead fish, you don't have anything extra, so why shouldn't you apologize?

Moreover, it was indeed you, Liu Haizhong, who caused trouble for Zhou Jin for no reason, just to show off, so you deserved to be punished by Director Wang.

Zhou Jin didn't think much about it. After hearing what Director Wang said, he nodded to Director Wang, then pushed the cart and took Zhou Xin back to the backyard.

After arriving home, Zhou Jin took a picture book and a handful of candies and placed them on the table. After giving Zhou Xin a few instructions, he went out to attend a meeting at the Intermediate Court.

Seeing Zhou Jin coming, Director Wang glared at Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong also looked helpless and could only bite the bullet and apologize to Zhou Jin.

"Xiao Zhou, what happened today is indeed your uncle's fault. I was too impatient. I apologize to you now and hope you can forgive me."

"Okay, Uncle Er, for Director Wang's sake, I accept your apology, but you should use your brain more in the future. That thing will get rusty if you don't use it."

When Liu Haizhong heard Zhou Jin's words, his face suddenly became constipated, but he could not refute it. He could only sit in his seat quietly without saying a word.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved and it was getting late, Yi Zhonghai began to preside over the meeting.

"Everyone, please be quiet. This meeting today was requested by Director Wang. Now let Director Wang give a speech."

Director Wang stood up and started talking without any unnecessary movements.

“Hello everyone, I came here today mainly because Liu Haizhong came to me this morning to report on your whole hospital meeting last night. Our street office thinks you did a good job, so I came here today to understand the specific situation.

Zhou Jin, you are the one who proposed this matter, so you should tell the story. If this plan is really good, our subdistrict office is ready to promote it to the entire subdistrict."

When Zhou Jin heard Director Wang asking him to speak, he didn't waste any time and began to recount the entire process of yesterday's donation meeting in great detail.

"Director Wang, and all the staff members of the street office, this idea suddenly came to me during the meeting yesterday. Last night, three uncles donated money to several needy families in the courtyard, including Grandpa Liu's family in the front courtyard, the Jia family in the middle courtyard, and the Zhao family in the back courtyard..."

Although Director Wang already knew the whole process, she came here not just to praise Zhou Jin and others, but for Yi Zhonghai.

Director Wang personally ordered the removal of Yi Zhonghai's uncle. As a result, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady not only found Director Yang, but also found district officials to speak well of him.

Director Wang had no choice but to reinstate Yi Zhonghai. After all, no one would offend so many high-ranking officials for the sake of a small manager.

But allowing Yi Zhonghai to return to his post does not necessarily mean that Director Wang recognizes Yi Zhonghai. On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai has been sentenced to death by Director Wang from that time on.

Look, Liu Haizhong directly handed Yi Zhonghai's handle to Director Wang. There is no way to calm down unless he teaches him a lesson.

"Hey, that's not right. Grandpa Liu's family in the front yard and the Zhao family in the back yard are indeed poor families. How could there be a Jia family in the middle yard? Wasn't the previous incident caused by donating money to the Jia family? How come they only care about food and not beatings?"

"Director Wang, the first uncle is Jia Dongxu's master. How could he bear to let his apprentice's family eat coarse food? Besides, our first uncle is so arrogant. After the Jia family returned the donation, there were still 500 or 600 yuan left.

But the uncle said, even if there are five or six hundred, what can it matter? Look at him, he doesn't even care about five or six hundred yuan. How domineering he is, he is worthy of being the uncle of our courtyard."

Zhou Jin directly added fuel to the fire for Yi Zhonghai.

This frightened Yi Zhonghai so much that his face turned green. He had finally recovered his position as a great official, and he couldn't be dismissed again because of this. If he did, it would be difficult for him to get his position back.

"Director Wang, please listen to my explanation. What happened before was indeed my fault and that of everyone in the Jia family. But now only Jia Dongxu in the Jia family has a ration. There is a food shortage in the market, so even if you have money, you can't buy food.

I also don’t want anyone in the courtyard to starve to death, so I thought that everyone could donate some food to help them get through this difficult time. Of course, I do have some selfish motives behind this.”

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's explanation, Director Wang knew that what he said was the truth, but it was not the whole truth. Since you made a mistake, you must be punished.

"Yi Zhonghai, what you said does make some sense. There is a shortage of food everywhere now, and everyone is trying to find ways to solve it.

However, as a senior uncle, you have done a very bad job in this matter. You were previously removed from your position as a senior uncle because you concealed the actual situation of the Jia family, convened a meeting of the entire courtyard for the Jia family in violation of regulations, and sought benefits for your apprentice's family.

I thought that during this period of time, you would reflect on your mistakes and shortcomings and correct them one by one, but now it seems that you have not realized your own mistakes at all.

How can you make the same mistake twice? Although this donation failed due to Zhou Jin's obstruction, you have done something wrong and you have to accept the punishment.

Yi Zhonghai, you are a level six worker in a steel rolling mill, and you earn sixty or seventy yuan a month. There are only two people in your family anyway, so I will punish you by making you responsible for helping Jia Dongxu's family.

At the same time, you three uncles in charge will be punished to sweep the streets for a month and go to the street office every day for ideological education. You can stop coming when you pass the exam.

I don't want to hear about your Siheyuan holding a donation meeting for the Jia family again. If you find out again, all three of you will be fired."
