Get something in the courtyard

Yi Zhonghai finally agreed to Qin Huairu's request to find a solution. There was no other reason, just because Qin Huairu agreed that as long as Banggeng got a good job, Yi Zhonghai would not have to work so hard to take Banggeng to work.

He could refuse Qin Huairu's conditions to improve his quality of life, but he could not refuse his request not to go to work.

He is already seventy years old. Others of his age would be at home enjoying their grandchildren, but he has to get up and work hard every day like a dog.

Come to think of it, he didn't get up so early when he worked in the steel mill.

His dream is to become the second ancestor in the courtyard. How can he realize this dream if he goes out to work all day?

I, Yi Zhonghai, am a person who never forgets my original aspirations. I will never let making money delay my retirement. As long as someone supports me in my old age, will I still be short of money?

I don’t ask Wang Kun to support me in my old age. As long as Sha Zhu is willing to listen to me, I won’t have to worry about my old age.

With a determined heart, Yi Zhonghai walked out of his house and headed towards the backyard, with an air of "the wind is whistling and the water is cold."

Let’s go to Liu Haizhong’s house first. This is what Yi Zhonghai had thought of.

Yan Bugui is a money-hungry person. Although he is easy to manipulate, his stance is very unsteady and he can easily become a traitor.

Why was Wang Kun able to gain a foothold so quickly after coming to Siheyuan?

Why did the previous method of isolating disobedient people fail?

In the entire courtyard, there are three courtyards, front, middle and back. There were no problems with the middle courtyard managed by him and the back courtyard managed by Liu Haizhong. Only the front courtyard managed by Yan Bugui had all the members rebelled and became Wang Kun's subordinates.

What does this mean?
This shows that Yan Bugui is incompetent, can't do anything well, and is trying to take advantage of others to get first place.

Furthermore, Liu Hai cares most about face and appearance. If he doesn't discuss it with him, he will be easily fooled.

"Old Liu."

Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and walked in, mistaking Liu Haizhong's house for Sha Zhu's home.

But he didn't expect that there were guests in Liu Haizhong's house.

Liu Haizhong was very dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's behavior, but he didn't show it, so he asked, "Old Yi, what do you want?"

Yi Zhonghai blinked a few times, almost forgetting the purpose of coming here: "Lao Liu, who is he?"

When Liu Haizhong heard Yi Zhonghai ask this question, a smug smile appeared on his face. The person in front of him was none other than Lan Zhengwu, the disciple that Yi Zhonghai had supported out of spite after he was fooled by him.

After Lan Zhengwu entered university, he signed up to support the western region. He came back this year and worked at the steel mill. He is now the director of the ribbed steel mill under the steel mill.

Liu Haizhong was very happy when his apprentice became the factory director, as if he had become a leader himself.

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "This is my apprentice. It's almost Chinese New Year, so he came to see me."

Heartbroken.

Yi Zhonghai's mouth was full of bitterness, and he wanted to slap himself. If he had known it was this, he shouldn't have asked.

Liu Haizhong was a humble person and devoted to his apprentices. Although he was inevitably scolded, he was not shy when teaching his apprentices. His apprentices could be promoted from apprentices to first-class workers in a year at most, and the more diligent ones could even pass the exam to become fourth-class workers in six years.

Compared to other masters, Liu Haizhong was pretty good. Those disciples were not close to him on weekdays, but they would still visit him during festivals.

This is much better than Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's mind was all on Jia Dongxu, and later shifted to Qin Huairu. He didn't care about other people at all.

In all his years at the steel mill, he had never produced a good apprentice who would remember him. No one came to see him during festivals.

Before Wang Kun came, the workers in the workshop would come to see him for the sake of face. After Wang Kun exposed his true face, no one came anymore. During the Chinese New Year, his home was deserted.

During this period of time, he thought that everyone who came to see Liu Haizhong had come, but he never expected that there was another one.

"Why haven't I seen him?"

Even if he didn't ask, Liu Haizhong would show off and said directly: "Hey, isn't it that he was admitted to university that year, and then went directly to the west, and was transferred back this year. Did you know that he is now the director of our rebar factory?"

Yi Zhonghai wanted to slap himself at this moment. Why did he ask this question? In order to trick everyone into donating money to the Jia family, he casually said that his salary was used to support college students.

That was originally an excuse to prevent people from suspecting that his family was rich and taking advantage of his family.

Who could have thought that this idiot Liu Haizhong actually took it seriously and followed his supporting apprentice to college.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Liu Haizhong, so he smiled and greeted Lan Zhengwu: "It turns out to be Director Lan. I am Yi Zhonghai."

He didn't mention that he was an eighth-level worker, nor did he have the face to say it.

Lan Zhengwu was able to go to university, so he was naturally not a stupid person. Before he came, he had sent people to find out some information about Liu Haizhong, and also knew some things that happened in the Siheyuan.

Although Yi Zhonghai has been retired for more than ten years, the legend of Yi Zhonghai is still circulating in the steel mill. What's more, Qin Huairu is still active in the steel mill. The title of the pretty widow has never been able to compete with her.

"It turns out to be Master Yi. I haven't been back for decades and I didn't recognize you."

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was good that he didn't recognize him. Then his mind quickly turned, wasn't he looking for a job for Banggeng?
Wang Kun doesn't have a good relationship with him, so he may not agree. But the Lan Zhengwu in front of him is different, so he might agree.

The steel rolling mill is a state-owned enterprise, much better than the capitalist enterprise owned by Wang Kun.

Thinking of this, he said, "I came to chat with Lao Liu. I didn't know Director Lan was here."

"It's okay. I just came to see my master." Lan Zhengwu said with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai sat down and asked, "When did you come back?"

"Last month, when things weren't settled, I came to see the master," Lan Zhengwu explained.

Liu Haizhong said, "You should have told me earlier so I could help you."

"Master, how can I trouble you? The factory has arranged everything. I just need to make arrangements for my wife and children."

The master and the disciple were getting along well with each other, but suddenly a stream of blood gushed out of Yi Zhonghai's mouth, which he forced back.

Lan Zhengwu had just been transferred back, and after settling down, he came to see Liu Haizhong. What was this? This was exactly the filial child he was looking for.

How could a fool like Liu Haizhong, a brainless guy, meet such a good apprentice?

Jealousy filled Yi Zhonghai's heart.

Think about Yi Zhonghai, who had been searching in the steel mill for so many years, but could only find a retirement family like the Jia family, which had so many burdens.

God is so unfair.

Seeing the master and his apprentice reminiscing about the past, Yi Zhonghai felt very sad. But even though he felt sad, he couldn't leave. If he left, what would happen to Banggeng's work?
In order to get his job done, Yi Zhonghai learned the trick of the deaf old lady, pretending to be deaf. If you don't ask, I will pretend I can't hear.

Liu Haizhong was just happy at first. After all, his apprentice became a factory director, which was unique in the Siheyuan.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai came in, he started to show off, and his words and actions were all about showing off to Yi Zhonghai.

He had been suppressed by Yi Zhonghai all his life, and finally there was something that could suppress Yi Zhonghai, how could he not be happy? (End of this chapter)
