Siheyuan: Steel Mill Engineer

Chapter 186 Premeditation
"We all know that Xu Damao was not entirely to blame for what happened back then. Those things were caused by Xu Damao's relatives. So coming back has nothing to do with Xu Damao, so I agree with letting Xu Damao come back."

As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, everyone looked at Liu Haizhong. Unexpectedly, Lao Xu had bribed even him.

Unexpectedly, Lao Xu even bribed Liu Haizhong. This matter is a bit strange.

"How much money did Old Xu invest? He even bribed Liu Haizhong." He Yuzhu said in disbelief.

"This matter seems a bit weird to me. I'm afraid they have already made up their mind. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought it to the table directly. Let's wait and see. Who knows what the final result will be." Yang Zhenyu said.

"What? Do you have any information?" He Yuzhu asked.

"No, I just think this matter is not normal." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

This is obviously abnormal. Since Old Xu has already bribed Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong in order to get Xu Damao back, would he have bribed others as well?
Now that so many people are here to hold this whole-house meeting, how many of them have been bribed?

No one knows what price Lao Xu paid except the person involved.

The key point is, why must Xu Damao come back?

What is its purpose?
Yang Zhenyu couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, this matter had little to do with him, as long as it didn't disturb his peaceful life.

"Since everyone holds different opinions, why don't we just vote by raising our hands? The minority should obey the majority, right?" Liu Haizhong said.

"Well, let's raise our hands if we agree to let Xu Damao come back," said Yan Bugui.

As Yan Bugui finished speaking, many people, including Yan Jiecheng, raised their hands. It was obvious that these people had also given benefits to the Xu family.

"It's quite interesting." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"What's wrong?" He Yuzhu asked, somewhat confused.

"Look at these people who raised their hands." Yang Zhenyu said with a pout.

He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu looked around at the neighbors who raised their heads, and then remembered these people in their hearts.

"Many of these people entered the factory because of you. It's interesting what they are doing now," said He Yuzhu.

"It doesn't matter. These people are just small characters." Yang Zhenyu shook his head and said.

Yang Zhenyu really didn't care about these people. No matter how much trouble they caused, it would not have much impact on him anyway.

However, Yang Zhenyu has never been a completely selfless person, and he still has a strong desire for revenge.

"Uncle, please count the number of people." Liu Haizhong said to Yan Bugui.

"Hey!" Yan Bugui stood up and began to count the number of people. "There are 27 households in our compound, and now 18 households have raised their hands, accounting for more than half of the total number of households. So, the matter of Xu Damao's return has been approved." Yan Bugui said.

"Since you all support this, let me say this in advance. If we still don't get the advanced award this year, I hope that those of you who agree with us can supplement the street's reward for everyone. Is there any problem with this?" Yi Zhonghai said slowly.

"Yes, what the uncle said is right. Xu Damao is the reason why we can't get the advanced title. Since you all want him to come back, you have to take responsibility for the selection of advanced titles. Is that okay?" He Yuzhu said.

"That's right. We can't lose our advanced benefits because of your decision. I don't agree with that."

"I'm different from you. I'm an orphan and a widow, and my salary is low. The things that are awarded for advanced work are a lot for our family, right?"

Qin Huairu's words made many people who were already living in financial difficulties sympathize with them. After all, life was not easy for everyone, and although the benefits were not much, they were practical things.

Of course, most of those who raised their hands were from poor families, which means that these people are easier to bribe.

"It would be a bit biased to say so. As mentioned before, the things that happened in the past two years were all caused by Old Xu's relatives and had little to do with Xu Damao himself, so there was no such thing as disrupting the selection." Yan Bugui said.

"That's not right. Xu Damao personally brought people here to arrest me. Even if it was a false accusation, it is also a fact. We can't deny it, right?" He Yuzhu said.

"Shazhu, this matter has already passed, why bring it up again?" Liu Haizhong said to He Yuzhu.

"It's over? I don't think it's over. Since Xu Damao was able to do such a thing, I have reason to suspect that one day he will threaten the safety of my life and property, so I don't think this matter is over."

The person who said this was Yang Zhenyu. There was no other reason why he spoke at this time, he just wanted to support Yi Zhonghai.

After all, he is the nephew of Yi Zhonghai and his friends, so he naturally stands on Yi Zhonghai's side at this time.

Don’t talk about helping the right person instead of your relatives. If you don’t stand on the side of your relatives at this time, then where are you standing?
What's more, today's events were obviously premeditated, and were carried out specifically bypassing Yi Zhonghai's side, with the purpose of allowing Xu Damao to return smoothly.

"That's right, how could this matter possibly be forgotten? He was not a member of the compound at that time, but he dared to bring people here to arrest me with inexplicable reasons. If he comes back, he will arrest people every day. Who knows who will be in trouble then." He Yuzhu also said.

"This matter has been very clear from the beginning. Although I don't know what kind of favors Lao Xu has given you, you still have to consider the consequences when doing things. If any of you is arrested, don't say that we didn't help." Qin Huairu said.

As Yang Zhenyu and others spoke, the scene suddenly became awkward, because what the three of them said made sense.

Moreover, these people did receive benefits, otherwise, given the character of the Xu family, they would not have taken the initiative to arrange it.

"Okay, since you all agree, let's implement it. There are two points. First, if Xu Damao is not selected for the advanced evaluation, the loss will be compensated by you 18 households. Second, you 18 households will guarantee that Xu Damao returns to the compound, and you will bear any problems that arise. If there are no problems, this matter can be finalized." Yi Zhonghai said with the final word.

"Uncle, please write a letter of guarantee and have everyone put their fingerprints on it." Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui and said.

"This..." Yan Bugui was stunned. Why did he have to write a letter of guarantee out of the blue?
