Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"Director Wang, I admit that I did not do this properly, but the things we reported were not all made up. Some of the things were well documented. Because Cao Yue's recent excessive eating and drinking caused a lot of public reaction, we wrote the report letter."

"We did not send out the complaint letter, but instead held a meeting of the entire hospital, intending to first persuade Cao Yue to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and then tear up the letter."

"In fact, we just wanted to scare him, we didn't really intend to report him."

Yi Zhonghai tried hard to excuse himself.

He knew that Director Wang certainly didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

After all, she is the director of the street office, and Director Wang is the one she personally appointed to be in charge. If this kind of thing happens, Director Wang cannot be separated from the responsibility.

As long as sufficient reasons are found and Director Wang has a way out, the matter will be resolved.

As for Director Wang's furious look, it was just to show his attitude and it was for outsiders to see.

Cao Yue naturally knew Yi Zhonghai's intention, so there was no way he could let his conspiracy succeed.

Without waiting for Director Wang to speak, he said:

"Director Wang, regarding the false accusations made by Yi Zhonghai against me in his report letter, I will now explain everything clearly in front of everyone."

"First of all, there are freshwater fish, pheasants and rabbits. I caught all these game in the mountains outside the city."

"The radio ticket mentioned in the letter was given by Li Huaide, deputy director of our steel mill. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask him directly after work tomorrow."

"As for the pork, milk powder, peach cakes, etc., these things can also be traced. They were either given by Deputy Director Li or by my father's old comrades and leaders."

"They took pity on me because I was alone and thin, so they saved their own rations to support my health."

"Alas! They had good intentions, but they became the reason for the uncle to frame me. If they knew, I don't know how disappointed and angry they would be."

As soon as these words came out.

Director Wang felt a chill in his heart.

Not to mention Cao Guomin's old comrades and leaders who hold high positions, just Deputy Director Li of the steel rolling mill is not someone she, a small street office director, can afford to offend.

"Comrade Cao Yue, don't worry, we all believe what you say."

Director Wang glared at Yi Zhonghai and shouted coldly: "Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui..."

"Director Wang, I am a traitor... No, I am saying that Xiao Cao and I are in the same group. Xiao Cao, please help me explain."

When Yan Bugui saw that Director Wang was going to severely punish them, he immediately panicked and spoke incoherently.

Cao Yue glanced at Yan Bugui, who said "dog meat is not allowed to be served at banquets", and said to Director Wang:

"Director Wang, Uncle Three is still a good person. Although he got involved with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong at the beginning, he quickly distanced himself from them when he heard that they wanted to slander me, and he also told me about the report letter."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong thought that it was really Yan Bugui who reported the secret, and glared at Yan Bugui with hatred.

This old Yan is really a traitor, he is so bad!

"Well, Teacher Yan is worthy of being a teacher. He is very conscious."

Director Wang gave Yan Bugui an affirmative look, then turned to the side coldly, "Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, in view of the serious mistakes you have made, I will notify the steel rolling mill tomorrow, and your factory leaders will further deal with you."

"Director Wang, there's no need to trouble the factory with such a small matter, right?"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were so frightened that their lips trembled.

"Is this a small matter? It seems that you don't realize your mistakes enough!"

Director Wang raised the letter of complaint in his hand and sneered, "Not only will I notify the steel mill, but I will also report it to the local police station tomorrow and ask them to investigate you thoroughly."

Yi Zhonghai was in a state of dismay, he staggered and almost collapsed to the ground.

At this time, the deaf old lady came over and said, "Director Wang, Yi Zhonghai was just confused for a moment. Please forgive him for my sake."

"This……"

When Director Wang saw the deaf old lady come forward to plead for mercy, he looked at Cao Yue.

"Director Wang, this is not the first time Yi Zhonghai has harmed me. I was soft-hearted and forgave him the previous times, but this time I must handle this impartially." Cao Yue said in a firm voice.

Director Wang shook his head at the deaf old lady, then looked around and said loudly: "Everyone listen, Cao Yue is the descendant of a martyr, everyone must love and protect him in the future. If something like this happens again, our subdistrict office will never tolerate it!"

"Director Wang, don't worry. I am here, on behalf of the more than one hundred people in our courtyard, to promise that we will take good care of Comrade Cao Yue in the future." Yan Bugui shouted with a flushed face.

Other neighbors quickly echoed.

They all knew that the weather in Siheyuan was about to change.

"Well, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are no longer the managers. From now on, the affairs of the Siheyuan will be managed by Comrade Cao Yue and Yan Bugui."

Director Wang said gently, "Comrade Cao Yue, what do you think of this decision?"

"Director Wang, I'll listen to you." Cao Yue said with a smile.

"Okay, in that case, let's do it this way."

After saying that, Director Wang returned the letter of complaint to Cao Yue. Seeing that it was getting late, he agreed to go to the steel mill tomorrow and then left the courtyard.

Cao Yue glanced at the distraught Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, then caught up with his bicycle and left.

"Xiao Cao, wait a minute, I have something to discuss with you."

Yan Bugui ignored the murderous looks from Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong and chased after them happily.

"Third Uncle, thanks to you tonight, otherwise I would have been murdered by two beasts." Cao Yue shouted deliberately.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "This is what I should do. Just like Director Wang said, we must love and protect you."

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong stared at Yan Bugui's back with resentment in their eyes.

Compared to Cao Yue, they hated the traitor Yan Bugui more.

……

Cao Yue brought Yan Bugui into the house, asked him to sit at the table, and sat opposite him. He got straight to the point and said, "Third Uncle, do you know why I let you go tonight?"

"I know, Xiao Cao, you are kind-hearted, and the third uncle treats you well on weekdays. How could you bear to deal with me?" Yan Bugui said with a licking face.

"Hey, Third Uncle, let me ask you, how have you been good to me?" Cao Yue asked back.

"This...this..."

Yan Bugui hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.

Cao Yue said, "Third uncle, I'm telling you clearly, the reason I saved you is to avoid trouble in the future. I usually don't interfere with the affairs in the backyard. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yan Bugui pondered over Cao Yue's words, and the joy in his eyes grew stronger and stronger: "Xiao Cao, do you mean that I will be the one in charge of the compound from now on?"

Cao Yue smiled and said, "Third uncle is very smart. I will not take care of the trivial matters in the courtyard in the future, but I will still ask about the major matters. As for the standards of major and minor matters, I will naturally decide."

The smile on Yan Bugui's face disappeared visibly. "Xiao Cao, are you kidding me? In the final analysis, you have the final say."

Cao Yue explained: "Of course not, as long as it doesn't involve me, I don't bother to care about other things."

Yan Bugui blinked his smart little eyes, understood, and said with a smile: "Xiao Cao, I understand, you want to keep yourself out of trouble!"

Cao Yue nodded, stood up and held out his hand: "Uncle, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Yan Bugui stood up with a smile and held Cao Yue's hand.

He is a smart man and naturally knows what to do next.

"Xiao Cao, we have driven Lao Yi and Lao Liu off the stage tonight, so we must celebrate."

As Yan Bugui spoke, he glanced at the bicycle behind the door.

The bicycles were hung with pheasants, hares and freshwater fish.

Cao Yue understood, walked to the bicycle, took out a carp weighing three or four pounds, turned around and handed it to Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, it's too late today. You can take this fish home and stew it. Don't forget to treat me next time."

"Okay!"

Yan Bugui seemed to be afraid that Cao Yue would go back on his word, and he took the fish impatiently, smiling from ear to ear.

"Xiao Cao, I won't bother you anymore. We can talk tomorrow."

Yan Bugui left excitedly with the fish. His family had not had any meat for a month, so they had to have a good meal tonight.

Cao Yue saw him out.

"Uncle, take care."

Yan Bugui suddenly turned around and asked tentatively: "Xiao Cao, Lao Yi and Lao Liu are already a thing of the past. Will I...become a great uncle in the future?"

"Don't call you uncle. If you want, I can even call you prince." Cao Yue teased.

"Don't dare say that." Yan Bugui looked around, his face full of nervousness.

Cao Yue said with a smile: "I'm not kidding, your last name is Yan, so you will be Prince Yan in the future!"

Yan Bugui: ???
