Siheyuan: General He Yuzhu, loyal to his country

"I am just a deputy director of the factory. I do whatever I am told to do. We all work for the director."

"I asked Lao Yi to talk to you yesterday. I thought he could make sense, but I didn't expect you to be quite dissatisfied with the result. So I came here today to find out what you think."

Li Youcai expressed it very clearly.

Being able to reach the position of deputy factory director is definitely no joke.

At least you have to have some real knowledge.

Liu Haizhong already understood the meaning of Li Youcai's words.

This is all the factory can give. Whether he can accept it or not has nothing to do with the factory.

"Deputy Director Li, what do you mean by this? Is this the attitude our steel mill treats old workers? Now that we are replacing new equipment, are we old workers going to be thrown out?"

"Won't this make all the workers feel discouraged? How can anyone be willing to work in a steel mill in the future?"

Liu Haizhong's eyes became moist and he became more and more excited as he spoke. He even took out his injured hand and waved it in front of Li Youcai.

Wasn't he doing this just to make Li Youcai feel sympathy?

Li Youcai is indeed a man of stone.

He doesn't care if his bangs are hurt.

As long as the problem is solved, that is the most important thing!

Li Youcai stretched out his hand and scratched his head.

"Lao Liu, I just said that this matter is difficult to handle, not that it is difficult to handle. You said that we have known each other for such a long time, so I will personally give you some subsidies."

"Or you can tell me your request, otherwise how can I help you?"

Li Youcai was just waiting for Liu Haizhong to express his thoughts in person.

In this way, Li Youcai can gain the upper hand.

Later on at the steel mill, didn’t Liu Haizhong have to listen to whatever Li Youcai said?

"If Deputy Director Li really wants to hear my appeal, then I'll tell you. I was wronged for no reason. In order to protect Yan Jiefang, I was made to bear the blame. Now I can't become a technician at the steel mill. At my age, I can't even be considered a technician. Isn't all my experience completely wasted?"

"Yan Jiefang was fired, but wasn't he the child I watched grow up in the courtyard? How could I bear to let him take the blame? What would happen to the child's reputation in the future? I can only bear it myself."

Every word Liu Hai said expressed his grievance.

But we cannot avoid the three words "technician".

"The steel mill has deprived me of my right to become a technician. Now I'm injured because of the factory, and they've given me these treatments. Can I be willing? If you were Deputy Director Li, what would you do?"

Liu Haizhong’s last rhetorical question was just right.

He asked Li Youcai what to do?

But the injured person was not Li Youcai!

After hearing what Li Youcai said, he put the Daqianmen he had brought with him on the table.

"I understand what you said, Lao Liu, but the factory needs to make a profit. If this happened to you alone, we can give you special treatment. But if everyone takes the risk of doing something that hurts themselves just for the sake of their technician status, how will we explain this to the higher-ups?"

"You should also consider us, the middle and senior leaders."

"To tell you the truth, after your incident, the factory director was very anxious and called a meeting with our middle and senior leaders. After much discussion, your salary was decided!"

"I've said a lot of good things about you. If it weren't for what I said at the meeting, would the factory director let me be the main person in charge of this matter for you?"

"Old Liu, to be honest, I put my career on the line to help you. Now you keep saying you don't like me. It really makes me feel disappointed!"

Isn't it just a miserable sale?

Liu Haizhong is good at it, and Li Youcai is even better at it!

Besides, Li Youcai has used this method quite often!

It is often used in front of Yang Dazhi, and it is not uncommon!

And Yang Dazhi always agrees with Li Youcai's opinions.

If He Yuzhu had not become the technical consultant of the steel rolling mill, and was responsible for the replacement of new equipment, he would have also proposed training a new batch of technicians for the steel rolling mill.

Due to various reasons, He Yuzhu has replaced Li Youcai's position with Yang Dazhi.

Before leaving, Yang Dazhi specifically instructed that He Yuzhu is the current acting director of the steel rolling mill.

What does this mean?

Isn't it just at the critical moment that He Yuzhu can suppress Li Youcai?

Li Youcai's current situation is very difficult.

It can be said that it is difficult to take a step forward.

This is also one of the reasons why Li Youcai is unwilling to offend Liu Haizhong.

Of course, we can’t let Liu Haizhong ride on his neck and poop!

After Li Youcai finished speaking, the black bag on the table had been opened, and a full ten pieces of Daqianmen were revealed, which instantly made Liu Haizhong's eyes light up.

“This is the front gate!”

As Liu Haizhong spoke, he couldn't help but pursed his lips.

Liu Haizhong is an old smoker, of course he knows Daqianmen!

Generally speaking, people would only buy a box during the Chinese New Year or other festivals. This Daqianmen has a cigarette holder, and it is wrapped in tin foil!

The price is even more expensive.

Everyone has to make a living, it is impossible to smoke Daqianmen every day.

Taking it out during the New Year and other festivals is just for face.

Even Yi Zhonghai's childless family smoked cigarettes that were much inferior to those of Daqianmen.

Li Youcai saw the greed in Liu Haizhong's eyes.

"These Daqianmen cigarettes were obtained by a friend of mine. I don't like smoking much myself, and you know that if I smoke Daqianmen cigarettes, it would be too conspicuous, so I sent these to you."

Li Youcai found an excuse for himself.

Such a good thing, anyone can guess why you don’t keep it for yourself?

Li Youcai's words also made Liu Haizhong feel completely relieved.

What Liu Haizhong didn't know was that this Daqianmen was actually a gift that He Yuzhu asked Li Youcai to return.

What Li Youcai did was just like offering a gift to Buddha through borrowing flowers!

He thinks so himself!

From the moment Li Youcai entered the room until now, Liu Haizhong has been smiling cleverly, and his expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book.

Hearty laughter echoed from the room.

When the second aunt heard the two people chatting happily, she couldn't help but speed up the cutting of vegetables.

In order to prevent the sound of cutting vegetables from disturbing Liu Haizhong and Li Youcai, he even moved the chopping board out.

It's already 4:30, and many people are coming and going after work.

"Oh, why is Second Aunt so happy today?"

“They’ve all started singing.”

"Your family is having stew today. I can see the meat slices."

"It should be half a pound. If we want to have a meal at home, it has to be during the New Year or other festivals."

The people who were speaking included young people, middle-aged women, and even elderly women.

There was a constant stream of people passing by the door.
