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

Director Yang recounted the course of events but deliberately omitted the scene where the old lady was about to kneel down, emphasizing that Yi Jianguo had been taking care of the lonely elderly and that the old lady had now come to the factory to plead for mercy, hoping that the factory would reconsider the punishment for Yi Jianguo.

After Director Yang finished speaking, everyone fell silent and looked at Ding Guangnan and Dong Changming. Yi Jianguo's matter involved Wang Kun, and Wang Kun's boss and recommender were these two people.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhiqiang expressed his opinion loudly.

Yi Jianguo was Director Yang's man, and most of the highly skilled workers in the factory were Director Yang's men. Li Zhiqiang had always been in charge of logistics and publicity, and was not respected by the old masters in the workshop.

When Yi Jianguo was demoted to level 6, Li Zhiqiang was the first to be happy. This weakened Director Yang's power.

From a personal perspective, the medicinal liquor Wang Kun brought him brought him a lot of benefits. He hoped to get more from Wang Kun. Fighting against Yi Jianguo would not only help weaken Director Yang's power, but also be considered a favor.

“Since no one is opening

This was exactly what Director Liu wanted.

When he learned that several factory leaders were going to evaluate Jiang Zhongyuan's situation, Director Liu confided all his troubles. Protecting Qin Huaiyun, refusing to accept apprentices, and obstructing the evaluation of workers... Director Liu revealed all of this without reservation.

If Director Liu had not considered his image in front of his superiors, he would have described Jiang Zhongyuan as the invisible big boss in the workshop.

Jiang Wenqing originally planned to find some reasons to reduce the punishment by communicating with Director Liu. After listening to Director Liu's words, he even thought of firing Jiang Zhongyuan.

But the current situation is that no one supports the cancellation of Jiang Zhongyuan's punishment. Facing the majority opinion, Jiang Wenqing does not want to openly confront everyone.

However, he had to give Jiang Zhongyuan an explanation.

"Since we all agree that we will not cancel the punishment on Jiang Zhongyuan, we must solve a practical problem. The last punishment did not specify a time limit. He is an eighth-level technician, and there are only a handful of such technicians in the factory. We can't let him stay in a sixth-level position for his entire life!"

Everyone then realized that the last punishment against Jiang Zhongyuan did indeed omit the time limit.

Level 8 technicians are in short supply, and there are only a few of them in the factory. It is obviously unreasonable to let Jiang Zhongyuan stay in the level 6 position permanently.

Chen Mingde also didn't want Jiang Zhongyuan to be a level 6 technician for life. When he takes over as workshop director in the future, he would also need some senior technicians to support him.

"We need to cure diseases and save lives, so we can't easily give Jiang Zhongyuan a fatal blow. I think we should sentence him to a one-year disciplinary period. After a year, if he passes the assessment, he can be restored to the status of an eighth-level technician."

Jiang Wenqing was somewhat dissatisfied as these were originally the contents of his speech as the factory director, but Chen Mingde got there first.

Jiang Wenqing suppressed his displeasure and proposed a show of hands to vote. Finally, with the agreement of all members, it was decided to change Jiang Zhongyuan's punishment.

By the way, Zhao Haiyang also received similar treatment and participated in the level assessment one year later.

Chen Mingde was very proud. After drinking the medicinal wine given by Zhang Kun, not only did his health improve, but he also became more comfortable with things. He decided to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Kun in order to get more magic medicine.

Since Jiang Zhongyuan’s punishment had just been issued, the news of the change was not announced to the entire factory, but was notified individually by Director Liu.

Jiang Zhongyuan was secretly pleased when he saw Director Liu leave. He believed that the appearance of the "old-eared lady" had played a role.

Qin Huaiyun saw Jiang Zhongyuan's slightly raised mouth corners and was slightly surprised: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Zhongyuan whispered, "You see Director Liu left in such a hurry, it must be about my restoration of my eighth-level position."

Qin Huaiyun was overjoyed: "That's great, can my salary deduction be refunded?"

Jiang Zhongyuan smiled and nodded, indicating that it was okay. Director Liu could ignore the face of the level 6 technicians, but he couldn't be so careless in front of the level 8 technicians. There were many level 6 technicians in the factory, but level 8 technicians were rare. He didn't believe that Director Liu would dare to deduct their salaries at the risk of losing senior talents.

Director Liu didn't know what Jiang Zhongyuan was thinking, and only planned to teach him a lesson while he was out of power. If Jiang Zhongyuan really resumed his position, it would probably bring more trouble.

Director Liu returned to the workshop and sighed helplessly at Qin Huaiyun, who was slacking off. After several days of punishment, there was still no effect, and he didn't know how to make her repent. If Qin Huaiyun could be fired, he would be willing to let her go, but the factory would not allow her to be fired, and other workshops were unwilling to accept her.

"Jiang Zhongyuan, come with me, I have something to tell you." Director Liu waved.

Jiang Zhongyuan glanced at Qin Huaiyun and followed him out of the workshop.

Director Liu glanced at Jiang Zhongyuan's smile, smiled coldly, and thought to himself: Let's see if the factory's handling results can still make you proud.

"After research by the factory, we have decided to reduce your punishment. You will take part in the evaluation in one year, and if you pass, you can be reinstated as a Grade 8 worker."

The smile on Jiang Zhongyuan's face disappeared instantly, and he was filled with disbelief. This was the first time that the "old-eared woman" had failed to achieve her goal in person.

In the past, when the "old-eared old woman" came forward, even the community office had to give her face and not embarrass her easily. Even if her son was a tyrant in the factory, the "old-eared old woman" would only receive a symbolic punishment. Even if she pleaded for a reckless person like her son, the factory would never let the "old-eared old woman" get off the stage. Now, for Jiang Zhongyuan, an eighth-level technician, she was rejected?

This is a great humiliation.

"Why is this happening? Did someone say something bad about me? Did Zhang Kun deliberately frame me in front of the leader?"

Jiang Zhongyuan immediately blamed Zhang Kun. If it weren't for Zhang Kun, how could he be punished?

Director Liu secretly agreed that the incident was indeed related to Zhang Kun.

When Teacher Li wanted to teach Lin Qingya, Lin Qingya had already become famous for her nickname "Pretty Widow". With this nickname, she lived quite comfortably in the steel mill and was unwilling to work hard to practice her skills with him.

Actually, it’s nothing. He is an eighth-level technician and can’t protect his apprentice?

But Zhang Qiang, a demon, showed up unexpectedly, not only disrupting the original balance of the courtyard, but also making him lose face in the steel mill. Director Liu, who used to be respectful to him, also turned against him, so he didn't even have the energy to protect Lin Qingya. He only hoped that she could restrain herself a little so that they could get through this period of ups and downs together.

Director Liu didn't care about that and directly handed the task of conveying the message to Teacher Li. Lin Qingya's eyes were full of tears at the slightest criticism, and she would put on a pitiful look. Director Liu didn't want to deal with such a crybaby all day long. If it went on for a long time, he might be known as a widow bully. Since she was Teacher Li's apprentice, Teacher Li had to handle this matter.

Although Mr. Li was reluctant to take over, he could not find a suitable reason to shirk. Judging from Director Liu's attitude, his patience with Lin Qingya has reached its limit. If Director Liu really kicks Lin Qingya out of the workshop, things will be complicated. Since Sun Donghui passed away, Mr. Li has been counting on Lin Qingya to take care of him in his old age. Zhou Zhu is just a puppet who helps Lin Qingya do things. Of course, he will not feel at ease to hand over the rest of his life to Zhou Zhu. Besides, He Ming is still there, who knows when He Ming will not come back again?

In order to enjoy a peaceful old age in the future, he must keep Lin Qingya under his control and not let her encounter an accident like Sun Donghui again.

Back in front of the machine, Teacher Li began to slowly pack up his tools, and Lin Qingya immediately followed.

"Uncle Li, how is it? Did you save my salary?"

Teacher Li sighed, "Girl Lin, someone in the factory is playing tricks, which makes Director Yang very embarrassed. My eighth-level technician will have to wait another year to be reinstated. During this time, you must not let anyone catch you."

Lin Qingya's face changed. She ignored the gazes of the people around her and held Teacher Li's hand and said, "Uncle Li, how could this happen? You are an eighth-level technician. How could the factory treat you like this?"

Teacher Li felt the softness in his palm and was reluctant to let go. However, the gloating eyes around him forced him to let go immediately.

"Lin girl, stop talking about this. It's working hours now, so just work hard. Director Liu has already said that if you don't concentrate on your work, you may be transferred to the cleaning team."

Lin Qingya's face showed fear. The cleaning team was either full of people who had made mistakes or were incompetent. The most important thing was that the work there was the hardest and the salary was the lowest. She didn't want to be assigned there at all.

Listening to what Teacher Li said, it was obvious that his influence in Director Liu's office was not as strong as before. Without Teacher Li's protection, her life in the steel mill could be imagined. Not to mention, many people in the workshop were dissatisfied with her, and there were always people watching her movements. And she had not completed her work tasks today.

"Uncle Li, it's not time to get off work yet, why are you packing up your tools?"

Teacher Li glanced at the parts on Lin Qingya's workbench and stepped back. If he stayed, he would have to help her finish these tasks.

"Girl Lin, I have to take Aunt Zhang home. She's still in the cafeteria, so just keep working hard!"

Aunt Zhang was still in the canteen kitchen, chatting with Zhou Zhu about not having a good meal for lunch. But she didn't make a scene because this was a steel mill, not home. Zhou Zhu didn't have any money, and Aunt Zhang didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone.

Zhou Zhu felt guilty for not being able to buy anything delicious, and did his best to please Aunt Zhang.

Worried that Aunt Zhang was depressed, Zhou Zhu wanted to send her home, but Aunt Zhang didn't want to go back. No one in the courtyard talked to her. For some reason, Lou Xiao'e had been avoiding her every day recently, and she didn't even help talk to her in the morning. In comparison, staying in the cafeteria was not bad. Everyone in the cafeteria coaxed her, which was much more interesting than at home.

Teacher Li packed up his tools and hurried to the cafeteria kitchen. He first drove away the irrelevant personnel, and then told Aunt Zhang and Zhou Zhu the results of the punishment.

Zhou Zhu didn't know how important the eighth-level technician was to him: "Uncle Li, isn't it just a one-year re-evaluation? Anyway, the income of a sixth-level technician is not bad, why do you care so much?"

Zhou Zhu also had good intentions, and he didn't want Aunt Zhang to go to Director Yang to plead for mercy.
