Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

The old lady felt sorry for Sha Zhu so much that she couldn't bear to see him carrying her on his back without even having breakfast. "Haibin, is there anything to eat at home? Hurry up and get some for Xiao Zhu to fill his stomach."

The old lady immediately took out the remaining steamed bread and handed it to Sha Zhu. After he finished eating, he carried the old lady on his back and set off. Li Haibin and Su Yanling followed closely behind. The scene seemed quite harmonious, but unfortunately they all forgot that it was past working hours.

Xu Dapeng rode his bicycle to the steel mill and stopped at the door to wait for Wang Kun. Seeing him coming, Xu Dapeng immediately said:

"Luckily you left early and ignored uncle. Otherwise you would have been pestered by the deaf old lady."

Wang Kun was secretly glad when he heard this. He ignored Li Haibin because he was afraid of being pestered by Su Yanling. Li Haibin was always cold to him and it was impossible for him to speak casually. Only Su Yanling could influence Li Haibin.

However, what he didn't expect was that the problem actually lay with the deaf old lady.

Even if he knew this, he would not agree to take her to the steel mill. The old lady could just stay in the yard, why did she have to go to the factory?

"Do you know why the old lady came to the steel mill?"

Xu Dapeng shook his head: "I don't know, maybe she will come to our factory hospital for treatment! I'm just reminding you that I have to go back to work to avoid running into her."

Wang Kun parked the tricycle in the carport and was about to go to the security department when he met Li Huaide.

"Wang Kun, that bottle of medicinal wine is really effective. Can you give me some more?"

Li Huaide's face was ruddy, and he was obviously in a good mood. In fact, Li Huaide was indeed feeling happy, and in one word, he was "painful and happy". Last night, he showed off his power at home, making his wives and concubines bow down to him.

Although the tigress was satisfied, Li Huaide himself felt a little disgusted.

It would be a waste if such a good thing were not tested at home.

"Director Li, I no longer have that medicinal wine. I really can't find it anywhere recently. That medicinal wine is only for strengthening the body, it has no other effect."

Li Huaide looked at Wang Kun with a meaningful look: "Don't you know the effect of your medicinal wine? When you are middle-aged, it is not easy to serve your wife at home."

Wang Kun naturally did not want to admit it, and said innocently: "Director Li, you misunderstood, my medicinal wine does not have that effect. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xu Dapeng, he got drunk very quickly after drinking the medicinal wine."

Xu Damao was drunk again, which added to Li Huaide's pain. Li Huaide himself was reluctant to touch the medicinal wine, but Xu Damao could get drunk every day. The key point was that he didn't remember anything when he was drunk.

"Is the wine bad, or is he just too good?" Li Huaide was confused and couldn't help but question Wang Kun beside him.

"It's really not my fault," Wang Kun nodded. "The wine I gave you is indeed better than what I usually drink. There is absolutely no additive. It must be your unusual physique, coupled with the daily fatigue that affected your performance."

Li Huaide felt much more relieved after hearing this. He could not find any other reason, so he had to accept Wang Kun's statement and specifically ordered that more goods must be sent to him in the next batch.

But Wang Kun also had his own troubles. Drinking one or two ounces of liquor each time would be enough, but Li Huaide drank half a pound each time. Once Li Huaide formed a habit, his future would probably be even more difficult.

However, it was not a complete loss to be able to win the favor of Li Huaide this time. Li Huaide was quite generous and gave Wang Kun a bicycle ticket before leaving, saying that it would be easier to find a partner with a bicycle.

Wang Kun saw that Li Huaide was not as upright as the rumors said, but rather had some cunning. But in that environment at the time, such people were more likely to come to the fore. Sooner or later, he would be the top boss of the steel mill.

Compared with Yang Wanqing's old-fashionedness, Li Huaide has a background and ability, and his advantages are obvious. As for the future, that is a later story, and Wang Kun can't care so much.

### The arrival of Shazhu and the deaf old lady

Sha Zhu carried the deaf old lady on his back and came to the gate of the steel mill panting. The guard Lao Zhang frowned when he saw them.

"Shazhu, who are you carrying? What are you doing in the factory?" asked Lao Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward immediately, "Lao Zhang, this is the old ancestor of our hospital. She came to see Director Yang for something. Let us in quickly!"

Old Zhang curled his lips and looked at the deaf old lady. Although he was the gatekeeper, he was a veteran after all and had a good reputation in the security department. "Is there anything that can't be solved by you? Why do you have to drag an old lady with you? Also, why are you late every day? Can't you get to get off work and leave on time?"

When the deaf old lady heard what was said about her, she was immediately furious and opened her mouth to argue with Lao Zhang. Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped her, "Lao Zhang, don't be offended. This person is indeed our ancestor, please let him go once."

Lao Zhang finally let them in without making things difficult for them, but he knew that these matters still had to be handled by their own workshop director.

After entering the factory, Yi Zhonghai quickly asked Sha Zhu to leave to avoid delaying work. Then he carried the deaf old lady on his back and walked towards Yang Wanqing's office.

Along the way, many people saw Yi Zhonghai's actions and cast curious looks at him.

### Kneel down and threaten

When Yang Wanqing saw Yi Zhonghai carrying an old lady in, his face immediately darkened. What a kid, he actually brought his parents to seek justice after doing something wrong.

"Yi Zhonghai, what do you want to do?" Yang Wanqing asked sternly.

Yi Zhonghai's heart tightened, realizing that he might be wrong, but he could not afford to back down at this moment. As long as he could restore his status as an eighth-level worker, he could ignore everything else. His craftsmanship was irreplaceable here, and even if Yang Wanqing disliked him for a while, he would rely on him one day.

"Director Yang, I..." Facing Yang Wanqing's stern gaze, Yi Zhonghai stammered and was unable to speak.

The deaf old lady saw it all and knew that there were many things Yi Zhonghai couldn't say. If he really said them, he would probably offend Yang Wanqing.

"Director Yang, you don't need to ask him, I'll tell you. Yi Zhonghai has worked hard in the factory for so many years, even if he made some mistakes, he should be forgiven. He was demoted from level eight to level six, which is really too harsh."

Yang Wanqing looked at her coldly, "Why was he demoted to a level 6 worker? Let him tell you. This is his own fault."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and prepared to speak. He knew he had to tell the reason, otherwise he would not be able to convince Yang Wanqing.

"Director Yang, I made some minor mistakes while working in the factory. But that was all out of good intentions. I just wanted to strive for better living conditions for me, my old mother, and Qin Huairu. I have no selfish motives."

Yang Wanqing had a blank expression on his face. "Yi Zhonghai, the factory rules are iron laws. Your behavior has seriously affected the order of the factory. This cannot be easily forgiven."

The deaf old lady stood up and tremblingly walked to Yang Wanqing. "Director Yang, please be understanding. I am an old lady living alone, and I am where I am today thanks to Zhonghai. Now that he has been punished, I can't live anymore. Please, for my sake, restore his eighth-level job."

“Even if China Shipping made a mistake, it didn’t reach this level.

The deaf old woman stretched out her hand to Li Wanlin and prepared to kneel down: "Manager Li, you have to help us! This old lady is a burden to me. Old Yi has worked hard to take care of me all these years and never asked for anything in return. Now I kneel down for you, please."

Li Wanlin panicked and quickly supported the deaf old woman, trying to stop her from kneeling. If he really let the deaf old woman kneel down, he would probably be condemned by the public. No matter what the reason, people would say that he was bullying the helpless old man and woman.

At the same time, Lao Yi squeezed out a few tears and walked forward to help the deaf old woman up: "Old lady, I have been willing to take care of you all these years. You must not kneel down to me for this. Even if I am fired from the factory, I will not let you kneel down like this. If I knew you would come to beg for mercy, I would never hide it from you."

Lao Yi's voice was so loud that people outside Li Wanlin's office could hear it clearly. Cao Fuqiang saw this and quickly dispersed those who were about to go out to watch the excitement and maintained order in the office.

At this time, Li Wanlin's face was full of anger. He regretted not meeting with Lao Yi and the deaf old woman alone, which put him in a dilemma. It was better to solve this kind of thing as soon as possible. Li Wanlin frowned and said, "Old lady, I can't decide to cancel Lao Yi's punishment alone. We need to hold a meeting to discuss it. But I will propose at the meeting that if no one objects, he will be reinstated. What do you think?"

Although they were not very satisfied, the deaf old woman and Lao Yi looked at each other and finally accepted the proposal. They knew that they could not push Li Wanlin too hard. After all, Li Wanlin was the manager and his words were final in the factory. His suggestions at the meeting should not be a big problem.

After sending the deaf old woman and Lao Yi away, Li Wanlin could no longer hold back his anger. He turned to Cao Fuqiang who had just entered the room and said, "What did your security department do? You actually let unauthorized people in at will?"

After all, Cao Fuqiang was the office director, so he had a plan for what to do. "Manager, no one saw what happened just now. As far as I know, you said before that we should respect the senior employees in the factory, so they enjoy many privileges in the factory. The workshop directors dare not offend them too much. Especially Lao Yi, who has a special status in a workshop. For example, Qin Wenbin was usually sloppy at work, but Lao Yi stopped him."

Li Wanlin recalled that he had received complaints about Qin Wenbin in recent years. Every time he asked Lao Yi, Lao Yi always defended Qin Wenbin. He believed Lao Yi's words and even criticized Director Liu of the first workshop.

"Bang!" Li Wanlin slammed his palm on the table and said angrily: "Go tell Director Liu that if he does a good job, he can continue to be the workshop director; if he can't do it, he should stop occupying the position and not do anything!"

Cao Fuqiang nodded in response and said that he would notify Director Liu immediately.

"What was the specific punishment for Lao Yi last time?" Li Wanlin asked again.

Cao Fuqiang quickly reported the punishment: "There is no specific time limit, just a fine of part of the salary. You were at the center of the storm at the time, who would dare to ask how long the punishment would be? Otherwise, it would be considered as begging for mercy."
