A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 997 Director Yang is offline, Xu Damao is beaten! (Please subscribe!)

Sha Zhu's lunch box was opened, and the workers watching had tears in their eyes. They had to shake their spoons while eating lunch, but Sha Zhu took the full lunch box home.

They didn't know where the braised pork and the big chicken drumstick came from, but that half box of stir-fried pork with green peppers was the meat dish sold in the cafeteria at noon today.

One female worker's eyes immediately turned red:

"Silly Zhu, you are not a human being. I ordered a serving of stir-fried pork with green peppers at noon, intending to bring it home for my child to satisfy his craving at night, but you shook the spoon and half of it fell off, leaving only two or three slices of meat. Your stir-fried pork with green peppers is all meat."

When others saw it, they realized that it was true. The stir-fried pork with green peppers that they bought was made with pork picked out from among the green peppers. Eighty percent of the half box of stir-fried pork with green peppers in Shazhu's lunch box was pork, with only a few green slices. This was making the pork pick out the green peppers.

Some workers who ordered stir-fried pork with green peppers at noon suddenly became dissatisfied and started making a fuss. Those who did not buy meat or vegetables had also experienced the canteen's shaking spoon stunt, so they also burst into resentment and started blaming Sha Zhu.

  Seeing that he had incurred public anger, Sha Zhu panicked, but pretended to be calm on the surface:

"Alright, alright, what are you all making a fuss about? It's just a trivial matter. At most, I'll just shake a little when I get food. Just go do what you need to do."

Seeing his nonchalant look, the workers around him became even angrier, and the noise became louder and louder. Some young people with bad tempers even cursed at Sha Zhu, and the situation seemed to be out of control.

  He Daqing and Hua Shier found out that Sha Zhu had started a quarrel with someone, so they came over. Xu Damao didn't want to bother with this mess, but when he saw this, he shouted:

"Our section chief is here, please make way."

When the workers heard that it was the security chief coming, they immediately made way for Hua Shier and He Daqing to come closer.

The female worker just now was so angry: "Chief Hua, you have to make the decision for us workers!"

The other workers also nodded: "Yes, Chief Hua, do you think what Sha Zhu did is human work? You have to make the decision for us!"

A surprise inspection of a large factory with tens of thousands of people was carried out, and they were arranged in five rows. The scene was noisy. Just now, Hua Shier and He Daqing were chatting at the factory gate, and the noise started here. He didn't pay attention to what was going on, but after taking one look at the scene, especially the meat and vegetables in the lunch boxes, he guessed it was almost right.

But he still pretended not to know: "My fellow workers, let's talk slowly. What did Sha Zhu do to make everyone so angry?"

He Daqing also said to the female worker: "Yes, sister, what did my Shazhu do? Tell me and I will make the decision for you."

  The female worker pointed at the lunch box that Zhang Xuejun was holding:

"Master He, look for yourself, it's not easy for us to buy a meat dish for lunch. Half of the stir-fried pork and green pepper was shaken off by Sha Zhu, and there were only two or three slices of meat. Look at the lunch box he brought, it's full of meat. How can you do things like this!"

As soon as He Daqing saw the lunch box, he understood everything. He cursed Sha Zhu in his heart for being so troublesome. He had told everyone in the cafeteria that they were not allowed to bring lunch boxes today. He also reminded Sha Zhu privately, but this stupid son just wouldn't listen and was caught red-handed.

What's more, what you brought was too exaggerated. The braised pork and chicken legs were obviously left over from the canteen at noon. I won't talk about that. What was excessive was the stir-fried pork with green pepper.

He Daqing brought Qin Huairu's own lunch box. Although he also brought meat and vegetables, he just brought whatever was available in the cafeteria and did not specifically pick out meat or anything.

But look at the stir-fried pork with green peppers that Shazhu brought. You specifically picked out the meat and then sold the green peppers to the workers as if they were meat or vegetables. Isn't that immoral?

The key point is that you are still shaking the spoon. Who wouldn't be angry?

  He Daqing went up and kicked Sha Zhu, then turned around and apologized to the workers:

"I'm sorry, everyone. It was my son Shazhu who was wrong. I apologize to everyone. I promise everyone that this kind of thing will never happen again. If you go to the cafeteria to get food and the spoon shakes again, you can come to me directly. Is that okay?"

He Daqing was afraid of causing trouble, so he kept bowing and apologizing to the workers around him.

Most people of that era were simple and honest. When they saw He Daqing apologize so sincerely, the workers around him calmed down.

Hua Shier nodded when he saw this situation. Thousands of people were leaving the factory and the surprise inspection wasn't even halfway done. With so many people blocking the way, if things really got out of hand, there would be chaos. If there was a stampede or something, no one would be able to take the responsibility. It would be great if He Daqing could solve it this way.

But at this time, no one expected that Sha Zhu would quit:

"Dad, why are you apologizing? And why are you jealous? I brought my lunch box with Director Yang's permission. What do you think it's your business?"

This stirred up a hornet's nest. The workers around had calmed down a little because He Daqing pretended to apologize, but the anger suddenly rose again. Someone cursed:

"You're talking bullshit. Why did Director Yang ask you to bring a lunch box? Those are all public property. You're just stealing public food!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately responded: "Yes, Shazhu is stealing public food, you have to take care of this matter."

Many people rushed to the middle. When Sha Zhu saw this situation, he immediately became timid and dared not shout anymore.

He Daqing looked at Sha Zhu as if he were an idiot and thought how great it would be if this man wasn't his own son. He could then take the lead in beating him up.

Seeing the turbulent crowd caused by Sha Zhu, Hua Shier was about to step out to maintain order and then solve the problem, when he heard someone shouting from the back of the crowd:

"Director Yang and Deputy Director Li are here, everyone please make way."

The person who was shouting was the factory director's secretary. The workers were in awe of the factory director, so when they heard it was the factory director coming, they quickly made way.

The factory leaders had all heard about the surprise inspection by the Security Department today. Director Yang and Deputy Director Li had not yet left the factory to finish get off work, as they were planning to see how the Security Department was doing.

Of course, Deputy Director Li had high hopes for Hua 12, but Director Yang didn't believe that this surprise inspection would have any effect.

Are you kidding? The previous security chief had conducted similar inspections before, and every time there was a lot of complaints, but nothing was found.

Director Yang has waited until now just to see Hua Twelve make a fool of himself, and then it would be best if he could add insult to injury before Hua Twelve is transferred from the steel rolling mill.

To be honest, Director Yang is not a bad person. He originally just focused on production and didn't pay attention to details. He was just eager for quick success. But now he was transferred to the third line to open up wasteland. His mentality is a little unbalanced, and the darkness in his heart has taken over. That's why he did things that made things difficult for Hua Twelve.

The two factory managers saw the chaos at the factory gate from a distance. Deputy Manager Li was a little disappointed, but Manager Yang was ecstatic inside. He thought Hua Twelve had messed up.

  So as soon as he came in from the crowd, Director Yang started to attack Hua Twelve:

"Chief Hua, is this the surprise inspection organized by your security department?"

"The scene is so chaotic. If there is a stampede, can you bear the responsibility?"

"Stop it now. Write a self-criticism and hand it in tomorrow. I think the factory should reconsider the candidate for the security chief."

Director Yang had already decided that before leaving, he would fill in a negative review of "poor organization and management" in Hua Twelve's file.

Hua Twelve was amused. Director Yang looked like a steady man before, but now he was like a mad dog, showing his teeth and wanting to bite people as soon as he came in.

He smiled and said, "Director Yang, this is none of my business. Everything was in perfect order just now. The reason why the scene is in such chaos is because of you!"

Deputy Director Li originally wanted to say a few words to help Hua Twelve, but when he heard what he said, he immediately knew that there was a reason for this, and from the tone of his voice, it seemed to be related to Director Yang. He immediately laughed and stood by and watched.

Director Yang was so angry that he laughed: "Director Hua, what nonsense are you talking about? I just got here, why are you blaming me for the chaos?"

Hua Shier pointed at the lunch box in Zhang Xuejun's hand and said, "There was a surprise inspection today. Comrade He Yuzhu from the cafeteria brought a lunch box full of meat and vegetables. Some workers accused him of stealing public food. He Yuzhu said that you, Director Yang, approved him to take it. This aroused the public indignation of the workers present and caused chaos."

This is called language art. Hua Shier put "caused trouble" after He Yuzhu said that Director Yang approved it. Everything is correct, the order is slightly deviated, but the meaning is very different.

Originally, the riot was caused by Sha Zhu bringing a lunch box, but Hua Twelve reversed the order and directly put the main cause of the riot on Director Yang, making it seem that the workers became excited and caused the riot because Director Yang agreed to Sha Zhu bringing a lunch box.

The important thing is that after listening to it, although others felt that something was not right, they did not figure out what was wrong.

  Deputy Director Li took one look at the lunch box and immediately became angry:

"I say, Shazhu, you are really good. Aren't these braised pork and chicken legs the dishes I ordered for Director Liu from the machine repair factory at the small cafeteria at noon? I was wondering why the chicken was missing a chicken leg, and the braised pork seemed a little less. It turns out you ordered them all."

When the workers around heard that Sha Zhu dared to intercept even the factory director's food, they immediately criticized Sha Zhu for his usual behavior of shaking the spoon. Some even mentioned that Sha Zhu used to bring a lunch box every day.

Director Yang saw that this really aroused public outrage, and asked Sha Zhu with a sullen face:

"He Yuzhu, tell me, when did I ask you to bring these dishes?"

No matter how dumb Sha Zhu was, he knew he was in trouble, so he stepped forward and said, "Director Yang, you forgot that it was you who asked me to bring the lunch box."

  He kept talking and gesturing, and Director Yang finally remembered and said angrily:

"I was afraid that the leftovers would be wasted, so I told you canteen staff to take some of the leftovers home. But look, are these leftovers?"

  Director Yang had previously caused trouble for Hua Twelve, but now Hua Twelve was not afraid of offending Director Yang and said directly:

"No wonder Sha Zhu shook the spoon so violently, leaving the workers hungry. It turns out the root of the problem lies with Director Yang."

"Director, I'm not criticizing you, but what you said is not right. You told Shazhu that it was okay to bring leftovers, so he gave less when serving lunch to the workers, so there would be leftovers. Otherwise, the workers would have worked hard all morning, and there wouldn't be any leftovers at lunch, don't you think?"

The workers around were suddenly furious. They had not figured it out until Hua Shier said it. As soon as Hua Shier said it, they realized that the reason why the kitchen was shaking the spoons for everyone was because of the factory director.

For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, blaming Director Yang for letting Sha Zhu bring the food.

Director Yang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He had already made a mistake and was about to be transferred to the third line. Now this kind of thing had happened. There were relatives of the leaders in the steel rolling mill. If this matter got out of hand, it would definitely not be concealed. His impression on the leaders would definitely be even worse.

He knew that this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible, so he raised his hands and gestured to the people around him:

"My fellow workers, comrades, listen to me. I was indeed not considerate enough in this matter, but He Yuzhu also took advantage of the loophole in my words. I apologize to everyone, and I promise everyone that I will deal with this matter seriously!"

He Daqing sighed, knowing that Sha Zhu was in trouble.

Sha Zhu was like an eggplant hit by frost, completely wilted. Under the beatings and kicks of He Daqing, he bowed around and apologized continuously.

Director Yang did not let him off easily in the end. He announced that He Yuzhu's salary would be deducted for three months and he would be demoted to the workshop. Before going to the workshop, he would be punished to clean toilets for three months.

After he made the punishment, he asked Deputy Director Li and Hua Twelve what they thought of this punishment, and neither of them objected.

Hua Twelve waved his hands around and said, "Okay, the problem is solved. Continue the previous formation and queue up for weighing. Do you still want to leave work?"

The workers who were watching the excitement dispersed and immediately returned to their previous queue.

Looking at the neatly arranged five-element formation, Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction, while Director Yang became more unhappy.

Having just suffered a loss over the issue of Sha Zhu, Director Yang now directly attacked:

"Director Hua, order is good, but it doesn't solve the actual problem. Let me ask you, has the problem of missing steel materials in the factory been solved? How many have been found? I remember you said there would be results soon. If there are no results today, I hope you will..."

Before he finished speaking, Hua Twelve interrupted him directly: "Director, is there something wrong with your eyesight? Otherwise, let's go to the infirmary to check it out."

Director Yang immediately got angry. "What did you say?"

  Hua Shiyi pointed to the row of people squatting at the foot of the wall at the factory gate:

"If your eyesight was normal, how could you ignore so many people squatting there to write inspections and letters of guarantee? Director, don't worry, I'm really not insulting you, I'm just afraid that I'll delay your treatment. If it gets serious, you'll be blind again and that's it."

Xu Damao, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard Hua Twelve openly insulting the factory director. Factory Director Yang said angrily:

"why are you laughing?"

Xu Damao couldn't control himself, he covered his mouth and laughed, and forced himself to control himself: "No, haha, sorry, hehe, Director, my wife is pregnant, I really can't help laughing"

After he said this, the others who were able to hold back their laughter couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  Director Yang stared at Zhang Xuejun, who said:

“My wife is pregnant too.”

The people around him couldn't help it. Those who knew about it knew that this guy didn't even have a partner, so how could he have a wife?

There was a burst of laughter.

Lampshade took the initiative to explain: "My mother-in-law is pregnant!"

Men Saner: "My mother gave me a younger brother!"

Deputy Director Li: "My sister-in-law gave birth!"

Everyone: "."

The surprise inspection by the security department was successfully completed, and a group of guys who stole SHZY steel materials were caught. The factory treated them leniently because they were first-time offenders. They were required to write self-criticisms, be punished, and have their wages deducted. Then these people also confessed the identity of a group of people who received the stolen goods, and that was the follow-up matter.

Director Yang did not come to work the next day. It was said that he took sick leave. However, everyone knew that he would not come to the steel mill again. It seemed that after he recovered from his illness, he went directly to the third line to open up wasteland.

Later, Hua Shier found out that Director Yang was really sick and had been ill for a long time. After he recovered, he was transferred to the Third Front to open up wasteland. Because the mountainous environment was harsh and he was in poor health, he broke his leg while climbing the mountain. He retired due to illness not long after he started working, and was also affected by the subsequent storm due to his identity issues.

  Many years later, I heard from Xu Damao that he met Lao Yang, who was repairing shoes on the street. Because his skills were not good enough, he didn't make much money. He was also disturbed by a fat man who threw 30,000 yuan in his face and asked him to change his job. Lao Yang was so angry that he fell ill and left soon. But that was after the opening up.

If Lao Yang could be more tolerant and fair in his actions, maybe he could have a chance to rise again after the storm, just like in the original plot. Unfortunately, there is no if in the world, and he can only swallow the bitter consequences of his actions.

What was unexpected was that on the third day of the Security Department's surprise inspection, something happened to Xu Damao.

That day, Hua Shier went to his future father-in-law's house in Yaer Hutong for dinner. Xu Damao was on his way home when he was put in a sack in a small alley. Not only was he beaten, but his bicycle was kicked several times and both rims were broken.
