Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

Li Huaide was resolute, courageous and efficient. That afternoon he called an emergency meeting with his men.

At the beginning of the meeting, Li Huaide reprimanded everyone mercilessly, scolding them to the point of bloodshed; then he changed the subject and focused on the Shazhu incident, and took this opportunity to make clear demands and warnings to his subordinates. After the meeting, Li Huaide unexpectedly took everyone to Fengze Garden for a sumptuous dinner!

What is the purpose of such a combination of kindness and severity? In fact, this is the so-called "give a slap and give a sweet date" strategy! It can not only make the subordinates realize their own problems, but also give them appropriate comfort and encouragement, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

Liu Guangtian certainly does not belong to their small group, and he has no part in the dinner, but Liu Guangtian has no problem with Li Huaide's political tactics!

The steel mill was crowded with people at the end of the day, and the workers walked out of the steel mill with smiles on their faces!

When almost everyone had left, a middle-aged man in a blue work suit quietly picked up a broom and began to clean every corner of the factory. His movements were skillful and focused, as if this simple job had a special meaning to him. This man was Yang Guangming, the former director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, who was once a prosperous but now destitute.

Back then, Yang Guangming was also a high-spirited person. However, due to the so-called "political problems", he was demoted. But anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just an excuse. The real reason was that his faction lost in the power struggle. In this way, Yang Guangming fell from a high position and became an ordinary cleaner.

Despite such a bad fate, Yang Guangming did not give up. He still came to the factory early every day and completed his cleaning work conscientiously. He used the broom in his hand to sweep away the dust on the ground, and it seemed that he was also sweeping away the haze in his heart bit by bit. In this process, he learned patience and persistence, and gradually understood the true meaning of life.

Although his life was hard, Yang Guangming always maintained his pride and dignity. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to stand up again one day and prove his worth. At this moment, he was telling everyone with his actions: Even in adversity, we must remain firm in our beliefs and move forward courageously.

Liu Guangtian sighed as he watched the old man on the road. Yang Guangming's luck was actually pretty good. Li Huaide didn't use any inhumane means on him. He just asked him to clean the steel mill three times a day!

It can be said that he was merciful. Liu Guangtian didn't even think about helping him. With a God's perspective, he knew that Yang Guangming would not die in the end, so there was no need to save him!

In the later power struggle, both Yang Guangming and Li Huaide fought each other to their heart's content, but in the end Yang Guangming lost!

Liu Guangtian walked over and looked at Yang Guangming carefully. He was no longer as high-spirited as when he was Director Yang. Instead, he looked a little old and aged...

"Brother! I'm here to see you!"

Yang Guangming raised his head in confusion and looked at Liu Guangtian. He smiled slightly at first, then immediately collapsed and said indignantly:

"You just came to see me empty-handed? I'm not a virgin, I don't want you to see me! Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave, don't disturb me while I'm sweeping the floor!"

Liu Guangtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I said I didn't come to see you on purpose, what are you talking about? I just passed by after get off work and said hello to you, but you are talking nonsense!"

"You are a director, come to see me, a sweeper, isn't it embarrassing! I say, it's okay for you not to bring anything, but you won't even give me a cigarette, right?"

Liu Guangtian spread his hands helplessly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to him, then lit one for himself!

Yang Guangming was quick to try to take the remaining half pack of cigarettes from Liu Guangtian's hand, but he failed!

Liu Guangtian shook his head and smiled, "Brother, this is not appropriate!" Then he took out an unopened pack of Daqianmen from his pocket and stuffed it into Yang Guangming's pocket!

Yang Guangming smiled at this time: "Brother, you still have a conscience!"

"What are you talking about? Do you think I have a conscience if I give you cigarettes? That's too expensive!"

Yang Guangming's face changed slightly when he heard this. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and said slowly, "When I was the factory director, I don't know how many people were flattering me. Now that I have come to this point, those people who flattered me back then are now mocking me. Sigh... the world is so fickle!"

"Brother, there's no point in saying this. Let's not talk about the past. The past is the past, and now is now. Look, aren't you living a good life now?"

"Although Lao Li pulled you down, he didn't do anything to you. Instead, he took good care of you. Haven't you heard about what happened to the others?"

"Being beaten three times a day, from morning till night, how miserable! Just be content!"

Yang Guangming naturally knew the fate of those people. He was much better than others. Li Huaide did show mercy!

Because he felt that Yang Guangming's backers had collapsed and he could no longer make any waves, so out of old friendship he let him sweep the floor in the factory. It was already a great favor for him to be able to eat and sleep well!

Moreover, Li Huaide would come to chat with Yang Guangming when he had nothing to do. At first, he seemed to be laughing at him, but later on, he stopped thinking like that and started chatting with him!

Because Li Huaide himself felt that even though he was now the director of the Revolutionary Committee and the head of the steel rolling mill, he might end up like Yang Guangming one day, so Li Huaide always had the habit of preparing for danger!

Yang Guangming slowly looked at Liu Guangtian and said, "Brother, do you think I still have a chance?"

Liu Guangtian smiled slightly: "If you don't die, you will eventually come to the fore. Brother, you are a soldier. We can't lose this momentum. Just wait for the opportunity!"

Yang Guangming smiled and said, "Brother, I'll listen to you. Bring me some meat next time. I'm going to sweep the floor. Get out of here!"

Liu Guangtian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay! Just sweep the floor!"

Liu Guangtian staggered away carrying the cigarette on his back! Yang Guangming felt bad as he touched the bag of Daqianmen in his pocket. He had fallen to this point. Liu Guangtian was the only one who could come to see him without caring about being ridiculed by others in the steel mill!

Yang Guangming's family lived in a previously abandoned water room in the factory. Liu Guangtian often secretly gave them some good things, which was very thoughtful of him!

The next afternoon, Liu Guangtian was taking a nap in the office when he was suddenly awakened by the noise outside. Liu Guangtian opened his eyes in dissatisfaction, got up and drank a cup of tea, then walked to the window to check the situation!

Liu Guangtian looked in the direction of the noise and his heart tightened. Isn't this where Yang Guangtian lives? What's going on?

Liu Guangtian opened the office door, walked to the office and asked, "What's going on?"

Liu Guangtian's secretary Xiao Guo ran over and said, "Director, I heard that a few reformed personnel were sent here, and they are with Director Yang. I heard that they are generals. Everyone just went to watch the fun!"

Liu Guangtian was furious: "Asshole! You are treating people like monkeys! Those people's bones are made of iron. You can kill them, but you must not insult them!"
