Comfortable life in Siheyuan

A few weeks later, no one was talking about Xu Damao's case anymore! However, the impact of this incident was still quite large. Not only did Erhu's marriage fall through, but Erhu also began to study spoken English hard on his own.

Xu Damao has been very anxious about this matter recently and often goes to Erhu's dormitory to find Erhu, but this child is as stubborn as a bull.

Liu Qingshan recently returned to the steel rolling mill, but he was not transferred back. Instead, he went back to serve as a technical instructor to oversee the mass production of high-performance titanium alloys.

Not only did he come back, he also brought a group of students with him. The students were all arranged to live in the factory's staff dormitory. Liu Qingshan was also very happy. The steel mill was close to his home, so he could go home much faster now.

"Director Yang, are you busy?" After Liu Qingshan arranged the students, he went to the director's office first.

"Qingshan is back! It's really not easy to invite you here now! I have already written several reports!" Director Yang joked with a smile.

"That's not possible. I came here as soon as I received the notice. There's nothing I can do if they don't approve it!" Liu Qingshan smiled and sat down opposite Director Yang.

"I've seen today that your thirty or so students are all good! When they graduate, give me a few names of names. I'll go and ask for them from their superiors!" Director Yang was so busy calculating that he almost jumped onto Liu Qingshan's face!

"I'll talk to them and see who's interested. I'll give you a list then. But I can't guarantee that you can come!"

"Don't worry about that. I'll go to the department to beg for alms myself. I don't believe they won't let me go!" Director Yang said confidently.

"I'll arrange a welcome ceremony for you in the factory canteen at noon. We have a new chef here and his cooking skills are pretty good!" Director Yang said with a smile.

"No need for that. Let's eat in the cafeteria with the students today. Then he can meet you, the factory director. When you need someone, you'll have a familiar face!" Liu Qingshan rejected this suggestion. The students were all there, and he still had to take care of these kids.

"Go away, you're starting to tease me! Okay, let's eat in the cafeteria today. I'll ask the cafeteria to add some extra dishes for the children at noon!" Director Yang agreed with a smile.

Although the welcome ceremony at noon was simple, several factory leaders came and gave a short speech in the cafeteria, which was both a mobilization and an encouragement!

Liu Qingshan, the technical director, also stood up and said a few words. Many people in the room knew him and applauded enthusiastically.

In the evening, after get off work, Liu Qingshan picked up the car and prepared to go back.

Not far from the factory gate, Liu Qingshan unexpectedly saw the third uncle wandering around the factory.

Seeing that he didn't look nervous, Liu Qingshan didn't go up to say hello.

Liu Qingshan was just about to go back when he suddenly saw the third uncle stop his bike, pick up something at the foot of the factory wall, and then happily ride away.

Liu Qingshan was a little confused. Although he had heard that the third uncle was picking up waste, he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought that he was just like the old men and women in later generations, who were used to being frugal and picked up waste to supplement their family income.

But the three uncles should have picked up steel just now, I don’t know if it was scrap steel or a workpiece. And how did this thing get outside the wall?

Liu Qingshan thought for a while, and suddenly a worker came running in from the door in a hurry, looking for something at the base of the wall!

Liu Qingshan now understood everything. This Third Uncle was trying to take advantage of him!

The worker searched for a while but couldn't find it. He turned around and saw Liu Qingshan parked on the side of the road, looking at him with suspicion.

After looking for a while, he was still not satisfied and walked towards Liu Qingshan.

"Did you see anyone take this thing away just now? Was it you who took it?"

This young worker obviously didn't know Liu Qingshan. He was probably new in the factory and his tone of voice was a bit aggressive.

"What is it? What did I take?" Liu Qingshan calmed down and was ready to have a good chat with him.

"Don't play dumb in front of me. The things I put here are gone now. There's no one else here except you. Who else could it be but you?"

"I asked you something, but you didn't tell me. How should I know? And if you want to talk, just talk. Don't point fingers at me!"

Although Liu Qingshan might not be able to defeat this man who was obviously doing physical labor for a long time, he was not afraid because he could see Sha Zhu's He Ji Restaurant not far away.

"Don't play dumb with me. Just answer whatever I ask you, or I'll make you pay for it."

At this moment, a few workers who had just got off work from a nearby factory saw Liu Qingshan stop here and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Why hasn't Section Chief Liu gone home yet?" These people were obviously old workers and they all knew Liu Qingshan.

"I'll be back in a bit, you guys go first!"

After the few people walked away, Liu Qingshan turned his gaze towards the young man.

"You are the section chief, why have I never seen you in the factory?" The young man was obviously a little guilty and his voice was trembling.

"Don't worry about whether I'm the section chief or not. You're such a arrogant person. You stole the workpieces from the factory and you're so righteous!" Liu Qingshan's face turned cold and he scolded harshly.

"I, I don't know, I don't know anything." After saying that, the young man prepared to run away.

"You can run away. I'll be waiting at the factory gate tomorrow morning. I don't believe you won't come to work." Liu Qingshan's words made him stop again.

"Which workshop are you from? How many years have you been working here?" Liu Qingshan asked softly, his voice softening a little.

"I'm from Workshop 2, I've been working here for over a year, and I'm still an apprentice. Chief, this is my first time doing this, and I only stole some scrap steel, not the workpieces!"

In fact, Liu Qingshan could have let him go, but now the factory is preparing to mass-produce high-performance titanium alloys, and it would be troublesome if there was any mistake.

"Don't say these useless things. Come with me to the Security Department and explain the problem clearly." Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Qingshan prepared to send him to the Security Department.

When the young man heard that he was going to the Security Department, he didn't care about anything else and started running.

"Where are you running to? You can still run away when I'm watching you!" Liu Qingshan reached out and grabbed his arm, and the other party fell to the ground without paying attention.

If the two really fought, Liu Qingshan might not necessarily gain the upper hand, but the other party was determined to escape and had no intention of fighting, which gave Liu Qingshan an opportunity.

At this time, more workers appeared on the road. Liu Qingshan shouted loudly when he saw them.

"Who is from the steel mill? Please help me call someone from the security department over here."

Soon, someone ran to the factory.

After a while, several people from the security department came running over.

Seeing Liu Qingshan escorting a worker, he hurried forward and separated the person.

"Chief Liu, why is it you?"

Liu Qingshan felt that this person looked familiar, and his surname seemed to be Li.

"Xiao Li? Are you Xiao Li?"

"Chief Liu, do you still remember me?"

"You're the captain now, but I didn't dare to recognize you just now." Liu Qingshan stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.

"You are too modest. I just hold a small position and you flatter me! What happened today?" Xiao Li pointed at the man lying on the ground and asked carefully.

"The workers in the factory steal things. They put them outside the wall and come to get them after get off work. It's been so many years, and they still use the same trick. There's no improvement at all." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Take him back and interrogate him!"
