Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

This is undoubtedly a golden opportunity for those old craftsmen who are enterprising! "Let's do as you suggest, Yang Ming, but this way, your responsibility will be even greater."

Director Yang seemed to be lost in thought, and then spoke with emotion.

“Everything I do is to make the future of the steel mill brighter.”

Yang Ming responded that he regarded the steel mill as his second home and was naturally willing to give it everything he had.

Inheriting skills will not only improve the overall level of the steel rolling mill, but also earn him higher reputation in the mill.

More importantly, the old craftsmen have extremely high prestige in the factory, and their disciples will naturally respect him as the young deputy director.

"Yang Ming, your broad mind and foresight are truly admirable." Director Yang couldn't help but give Yang Ming a thumbs up.

Yang Ming just smiled slightly. This was just a small step in the grand blueprint he had drawn for the steel mill.

This action of his made the old craftsmen full of trust and admiration for him, the young deputy factory director.

In the courtyard, people sat together and the topic of chat gradually shifted to income.

"Auntie, if your Lao Yi is promoted to a level 8 fitter, wouldn't his monthly salary be close to 100 yuan?"

"That's right, it's a lot of money!"

"Yes, with a monthly salary of nearly 100 yuan, wouldn't it be a very comfortable life?"

Facing the envy of the crowd, although the aunt's face was filled with pride, she still responded modestly:

"In fact, Lao Yi said that even if I get promoted, my monthly salary will only be more than 90 yuan. Our family has a lot of expenses, and we have to prepare for retirement. My health is not very good, and I have to spend money everywhere."

As Yi Zhonghai's partner, although Yida Auntie is illiterate, she is well versed in humility. She deliberately describes her family situation as being a little difficult to avoid arousing the jealousy of others.

"Speaking of which, isn't your family's Lao Liu going to take the eighth-level blacksmith test today? If he succeeds, your family's income will be about the same as ours?"

"And Dongxu, he has been learning from Lao Yi for so many years, so he should be able to pass the second-level fitter qualification."

"Huai Ru, your family has a promising future!"

People were talking about it, their eyes unconsciously looking towards Yang Ming's house in the backyard, and then their voices gradually became lower.

"However, Yang Ming's family may be facing some difficulties."

"They lived so comfortably before because of the pub his wife opened on Qianmen Street."

At this moment, the surrounding atmosphere seemed to have fallen into silence, and the past glory seemed to be about to disappear, which made people feel emotional.

Rumors are spreading that every family may enter an era of food rationing in the future. Not only will food be distributed in a fixed amount, but meat and vegetables will also be distributed in the form of coupons.

Upon hearing the news, residents began to whisper and discuss the matter. They thought it would be a punishment for those who had flaunted their wealth.

Especially towards Yang Ming's family, they had frequently enjoyed sumptuous meals, white flour buns, and often ate out, all of which became the source of jealousy in their hearts.

However, just as people were still imagining the dilemma that Yang Ming's family would soon face, an accident broke the silence.

Yi Zhonghai and his disciple Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard with heavy faces. This scene made the originally noisy courtyard suddenly become silent.

Noticing her husband's abnormality, the auntie also became nervous. The residents who were chatting casually also felt that the atmosphere was not right and found excuses to leave the scene.

When the courtyard was quiet again, Yi Zhonghai sat down slowly, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all, slammed the table heavily, and said indignantly: "It's really infuriating!"

He recalled what happened to him at the steel mill today. Not only did he fail to get promoted to level eight fitter as he wished, but he was also humiliated by Yang Ming in front of everyone. He could not let go of this humiliation.

Seeing his master so angry, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but complain as well.

He mentioned that Yang Ming was not only against them in the yard, but also in the steel mill. Especially today, Yang Ming's behavior was a public humiliation to the master.

An auntie was listening to their conversation and roughly guessed what happened. She said angrily: "Yang Ming is really too much. Isn't this just taking revenge on someone in public? In this case, we don't have to be polite to him."

She then mentioned the upcoming food rationing and voucher system, which she saw as an opportunity that could be exploited.

She suggested: "I heard that in the future, we will need to use food books and coupons to buy things. Although the food books are determined according to the number of people in the family, the coupons are reported by the manager of the courtyard to the street, and then distributed by the street.

We can use this to deal with the Yang Ming family, forcing them to turn to us for help."

The words of the aunt made Yi Zhonghai's mind light up. He thought this was a wonderful plan. He nodded in agreement.

"This kid is so popular right now, he's so arrogant that he forgets everything."

"He actually dared to humiliate me in public in the factory today and ruin my reputation. Does he want to trample me under his feet in the future?"

"If you don't teach him a lesson, he might not know his own limitations!"

Yi Zhonghai knew that the grudge between him and Yang Ming had reached a point where it could no longer be reconciled.

Therefore, he had no intention of letting Yang Ming off easily.

With a thought in his mind, he immediately made up his mind.

"I will go and discuss this with Lao Liu and Lao Yan, and we will deal with this together!"

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was glad that he had been prepared, because Yang Ming had hardly interacted with anyone in the yard in recent years, and even his wife Xu Huizhen was busy with the tavern business.

In addition, the Yang family often indulged in extravagant eating and drinking, which had already caused many complaints in the courtyard.

He was not worried that Liu Haizhong and others would not cooperate with him!

Yang Ming, on his part, knew nothing about this.

He walked into the tavern, wanting to take care of his wife's business and find out what was going on there.

However, as soon as he arrived at the pub, he found that everyone was sitting in a group, listening nervously to a young man wearing a Zhongshan suit with a pen in his pocket.

The young man was stating something passionately.

It has to be said that this young man is quite similar to Yang Ming in terms of his attire, and looks like a cadre.

But upon closer inspection, although both men were wearing similar clothes, the young man had a cunning look, with small eyes, a pointed chin and monkey-like cheeks, giving people a funny feeling of a "monkey wearing a crown".

Especially what he said at this moment made Yang Ming feel suspicious.

"Secretary Fan, can you explain to us the specific meaning of public-private partnership?"

"Humph, no matter how good this public-private partnership is,"

"From now on, all these shops will be taken over by the state, including this tavern... They will all become state-owned properties, and the state will send people to manage these shops and businesses!"
