Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

While everyone was busy sending Sha Zhu to the hospital, Xu Damao and others were also taken to the security department's confinement room. Because there were too many people, they were locked in two confinement rooms. The security department locked them in, leaving two people to guard the door while the others continued their duties.

In the confinement room, Xu Damao boasted proudly about his great achievement this time. After all, he had never lost to Sha Zhu in previous confrontations, but never won with hands. Every time after being beaten, he would forget the pain after the scar healed and continue to provoke Sha Zhu. This time was a rare victory.

At this time, a worker said with a worried look on his face: "Shazhu was seriously injured this time. I hope we won't be in big trouble."

"Yes, yes, my private parts are bleeding. I might become a eunuch. I don't know who kicked me."

Xu Damao first smoked a cigarette and said, "Don't worry. Sha Zhu was unpopular to begin with. This time he was the one who flipped the spoon and started the fight first, which caused public outrage. A beating is the least of his punishment. I think he should be fired. Besides, the law doesn't punish everyone. There are more than 20 of us!"

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this, and then they started chatting. When men gathered together to chat, the topic always revolved around the same few people, and before they knew it, the topic became a little colorful, and when they talked about the interesting parts, the group of men laughed from time to time.

"Xu Damao, come out to our duty room. Our Chief Cui wants to know the situation with you."

"Okay." Xu Damao responded and stood up and walked towards the nearby duty room.

When they entered the duty room, they saw Deputy Section Chief Cui sitting on a stool with his arms and legs folded. "Oh, you're here. Tell me what's going on." The two of them often attended Deputy Director Li's drinking parties, so they were familiar with each other.

Xu Damao quickly handed over a cigarette and lit one for himself. He then told the whole story in detail, of course, he would never tell the story of his little calculations and the violent kick in the genitals of Sha Zhu, even if he was beaten to death.

"Okay, I know what happened. I don't think your punishment will be too severe. After all, it was Shazhu who caused public outrage this time, and he was the first to start the fight. But fighting is not good after all. This is why our Section Chief Zheng is not here today. If he had handled this matter, you would have suffered the consequences. He really can't tolerate any sand in his eyes."

"Oh, thank you for your help this time, Chief Cui. I will have a drink to thank you afterwards."

"Okay, okay, you can go back first. I still need to ask a few more people and have a meeting to summarize the situation later."

"Okay, Chief Cui." Xu Damao said and returned to the confinement room.

Soon, the canteen director Xu Dabao also returned to the steel mill from the Red Star Hospital and found Deputy Director Li to tell him the details. Li Huaide was silent for a moment, "You go to the director to report first, I will go there later, and then propose to hold a factory meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter. This time, we must deal with Sha Zhu and suppress the arrogance of the other side."

Upon hearing this, Xu Dabao said, "Okay, I've long been fed up with Sha Zhu's arrogance. If it weren't for Director Yang protecting him, and we still needed him to cook special meals to entertain various leaders, I would have dealt with him long ago." After saying that, he stood up and went straight to Director Yang's office.

Seeing him leave, Li Huaide picked up the phone on the table and called his subordinates to speak softly. After arranging the matter, Li Huaide walked towards Director Yang's office with a smile on his face and his hands behind his back.

Although their offices were on the same floor, one was on the east side and the other on the west side, and they didn't get along so well that their offices were far apart. When Li Huaide walked into Director Yang's office, Xu Dabao had already finished explaining Sha Zhu's situation and left.

"Old Yang, this incident has become too serious. The superiors have called me to inquire about it. This has caused a very bad impact on our steel mill. I suggest that we hold a factory meeting immediately to discuss how to deal with this matter."

"Okay, they really did make some trouble this time and even dared to have a group fight. Let's have someone notify them and have a meeting in fifteen minutes." After Director Yang finished speaking, he called the director of the factory office and asked him to notify the leaders at the department level and above to come to the conference room for a meeting in fifteen minutes.

After the matter was said, the two chatted for a few more words. Director Yang looked at his watch and took a sip of tea. Li Huaide frowned and thought, is he sending me away so that he can call his own faction to inform them? Not only can I not leave, but I will also ruin the matter. This time, I must make you lose face.

"Old Yang, this incident shows that some of our workers have poor discipline and are free and undisciplined. Although we have a security department, it is mainly responsible for the safety of our factory area, armed escort, and anti-enemy spies and anti-sabotage by hostile elements, and the number of people in the department is limited. Due to its special nature, it is under the dual leadership of our steel rolling mill and the public security department, which makes it inconvenient to command. So I propose to set up a worker discipline supervision department. I will inform you in advance today, and we can also discuss it at the meeting later."

Director Yang was anxious but remained calm. "This is a good suggestion. We should strengthen the management of the workers. We should resolutely prevent such bad incidents as this one and punish the bad apples."

The two were talking about how the meeting time was almost up, so they stood up and walked towards the meeting room. There were already quite a few people sitting in the meeting room, and they stopped chatting when they saw the two factory directors coming in. Factory Director Yang sat in the main seat, "Everyone, please be quiet. We are now having a meeting. There was a group fight in the cafeteria at noon today. The workers, led by the projectionist Xu Damao, had a conflict with the cafeteria chef Sha Zhu and started fighting. This incident was extremely serious. Sha Zhu is still lying in the hospital. Now, please ask Comrade Cui Yong from the Security Department to introduce the details."

Cui Yong drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then stood up and told in detail what he had learned from the scene of the incident and from Xu Damao. The other leaders also discussed what he had heard.

Director Yang patted the table lightly and said, "Alright, keep quiet for now. You will have a chance to speak later. Now, please let Comrade Cui Dabao introduce Sha Zhu's injuries."

Cui Dabao also stood up and said, "Shazhu's condition is not optimistic. He has many bruises on his body and his lower body is seriously injured. One of his eggs is bleeding and broken. The doctor said that the possibility of removal cannot be ruled out." After that, he sat down.

Now everyone's discussion got louder. "Isn't Shazhu going to become a eunuch?"

"I heard that Shazhu is already in his twenties and still has no partner. This time it will be even more difficult."

Director Yang saw that the scene was getting noisy again, so he coughed softly and said, "Alright, alright, everyone has understood the situation, let's express our opinions and discuss it. Deputy Director Li, you can start by making some suggestions."
