Siheyuan, my new life

Today, Xu Fugui came to the Propaganda Department's office early on purpose, with the purpose of giving Yi Zhonghai, the hypocrite, a good name. A few days ago, he had just spread the news of Liu Haizhong's stupid deeds through the loudspeakers in his department, which was like a relief for himself. Today, he had another chance to deal with Yi Zhonghai, and Xu Fugui would certainly not miss such a good opportunity.

So Xu Fugui walked over with a smile, took out a handful of melon seeds from the small bag in his hand and placed them in front of the female colleagues, and said with a smile: "Come on, try the melon seeds my wife just fried. By the way, what are you talking about?"

Sister Yang reached out and grabbed a few melon seeds and said with a smile: "Lao Xu, I remember that you and Yi Zhonghai from the fitter workshop lived in the same courtyard, right?"

Xu Fugui suppressed his joy and asked in confusion: "Yes, Yi Zhonghai and I both live in the courtyard at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, but our family lives in the backyard and Yi Zhonghai's family lives in the middle yard. What's wrong?"

Sister Yang sneered disdainfully: "Xu Fugui, you are more clever than a monkey, how could you not know what I mean? Don't keep us in suspense, tell us what's going on quickly, otherwise don't blame us sisters for showing you the melon."

At this time, Chief Wang Yongjun of the Propaganda Section and several other colleagues also came over. Chief Wang said with a laugh: "Lao Xu, I heard others talking about what happened in your courtyard house No. 95 on the way, but I didn't hear it all. You'd better tell us quickly, otherwise when they take off your pants to see the melons, don't blame us for not stopping them." The others also laughed.

Xu Fugui threw the small bag in his hand to Section Chief Wang with a wry smile, and then told everyone the whole story from beginning to end, especially mentioning the scandal that Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice's mother had sneaked into the vegetable cellar to make dumplings many times. Of course, there were some personal opinions mixed in during the narration.

At that time, film projectionists also shouldered the job of commentators. Since there were few people in rural areas who could read and write, the projectionists were required to operate the projection equipment while giving explanations to everyone. In fact, it was also very hard for the projectionists to show a movie.

Xu Fugui is a man of great eloquence, and with the training gained from his years of work as a film projectionist, he can tell stories in a more tactful and tortuous way.

After listening to Xu Fugui's somewhat processed story, the people in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill were also enlightened. The section chief Wang Yongjun reached out and patted Xu Fugui on the shoulder, sighing: "Old Xu, this courtyard house No. 95 is really a place where evil spirits are rampant and turtles are numerous. A few days ago, a second uncle Liu Haizhong smashed the door of our security director Lin for no reason. Now there is a son of a big reactionary capitalist Yan Wenzhai as the third uncle, and a hypocritical hypocrite who seeks fame and reputation as the first uncle. I don't know how the Jiaodaokou Street Office selected the uncles in charge. If one of them has a problem, it may be explained by coincidence, but there are three uncles in total who all have problems, which is worth pondering. Especially the uncle named Yi Zhonghai, who cheats people in the name of taking care of the elderly and widows, and is a slut and morally corrupt in private."

Xu Fugui took out a box of Daqianmen, first handed one to the section chief, then threw one to Officer Zhu who was standing at the door, and then said with a smile: "The person who was responsible for selecting the manager for No. 95 Siheyuan was Director Tang of the former Jiaodaokou Street Office. This guy was ordered by Director Lin of our Security Department to be taken back to Jiaodaokou Police Station for investigation because he distorted the facts in public and deliberately protected the criminal Liu Haizhong. It turned out that Director Tang was suspected of accepting a large amount of bribes. I heard that he has been formally arrested now."

Sister Yang beside her spat out a melon seed shell and said cheerfully: "One of my sisters is the wife of the deputy director of Jiaodaokou Police Station. I heard from her that hundreds of yellow croakers of all sizes were seized from Director Tang's home, as well as more than 10,000 yuan in cash. All of these were bribes received from capitalists in recent years. I guess Director Tang will not escape the fate of eating peanuts."

Sister Yang reached out and took the small cloth bag from Section Chief Wang, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and then threw the bag to the colleague next to her, smiling and saying, "Section Chief Wang, I feel sick in my stomach, I have to go to the health room."

The two female colleagues next to me also smiled and said, "Oh, what a coincidence. I'm not feeling well either. Chief Wang, Sister Yang and I will go to the health room to check it out."

Wang Yongjun knew that the women in his publicity department were going out to gossip with their sisters again. He waved his hand helplessly: "Do whatever you want, but there must be someone on duty in the office, otherwise it will be hard to explain if a leader comes over."

Xu Fugui spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I don't need to sort the films today, so I'll stay and watch the door."

Secretary Zhu also quickly said: "I will go with Lao Xu."

As a result, all nine female leaders of the Propaganda Section left in a flash. Even the Section Chief Wang Yongjun slipped out on the pretext of attending a meeting. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." Wang Yongjun, the Section Chief, has now also become a fan of gossip, except that the people he gossips with are all middle-level leading cadres in the factory who are of similar rank to him.

Xu Fugui looked at the empty big office with a smug smile on his face. With these people adding fuel to the fire, and with the spread of those who worked in the steel mill in Courtyard No. 95, it would probably take less than one morning for the scandalous deeds done by Yi Zhonghai to spread throughout the entire Red Star Steel Mill. This guy who always looked like a gentleman, for the sake of so-called reputation, talked about respecting the elderly and loving the young, and uniting the neighbors all day long, and made himself a respected moral model. Unfortunately, fake is fake, and now that his hypocritical face has been exposed, Yi Zhonghai was immediately despised by almost everyone, especially those who were deceived by him in the beginning, and now they are sparing no effort to criticize and insult Yi Zhonghai, this hypocritical villain.

Xu Fugui believed that after this incident, Yi Zhonghai had become completely notorious in the Red Star Steel Mill. Yesterday, the Propaganda Department announced new standards for the future skill promotion of employees in the steel mill. In addition to the employees' original technical abilities, their ideological and moral qualities would also be examined. If the employee had problems with his or her ideological and moral qualities, he or she would not be allowed to be promoted no matter how high his or her technical level was.

In Yi Zhonghai's situation, it would be a pipe dream to continue to upgrade his fitter level. He couldn't even pass the ideological and moral test. Which leading cadre would dare to openly approve such a notorious guy to undergo a technical assessment? At that time, just one letter of complaint would be enough to get him into trouble.

The more Xu Fugui thought about it, the more proud he became. He couldn't help but humming the Empty City Strategy. "I was watching the scenery from the tower, and heard the commotion outside the city, with flags waving in the air. It turned out to be the soldiers sent by Sima..."
