I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Sister, I think this makes sense. Once you give birth to a child, you have to be responsible for it until the end.

We can't help Banggeng because he's in prison, but you should at least pay attention to the two children at home, right? Xiaodang told me yesterday that he wanted to eat meat. How long has it been since you brought home leftovers from the cafeteria?"

The two sisters each had their own plans, and both wanted to take the opportunity to step on the other to get to the top.

Ever since the incident with Sha Zhu, no one dared to take leftovers from the kitchen home for a long time.

However, over time, the factory's management became less strict.

It's hard to remain completely indifferent when faced with so much leftover food.

Qin Huairu didn't think much about it and agreed without thinking.

"Wait a couple of days until the results of the model worker selection come out. I'll take a chance and bring some leftovers home."

Qin Jingru was secretly happy but remained calm on the surface.

The temperature in the city of Sijiu dropped sharply, making it particularly difficult for Ye Ming to get up early.

You need to wear a scarf and gloves when going out, but Xiaoxin was wrapped up like a dumpling, and her rosy face was frozen cold.

I came to the factory in the cold wind and only felt a little warmer after entering the kitchen.

He blew a breath of hot air on his hands, but found that the people around him looked at him strangely.

"Is there something on my face?"

Everyone exchanged glances.

Liu Lan asked tentatively: "Master Ye, you don't know yet?"

"what do you know?"

"It's about model workers! You have been elected as this year's model worker of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"

Liu Lan's voice was trembling a little, and it was unclear whether it was due to the cold weather or excitement.

Everyone else widened their eyes, hoping to catch a glimpse of surprise on Ye Ming's face.

However, they were soon disappointed.

"Oh."

"Oh? Did you hear that? You have been elected as our factory's model worker this year!"

Thinking that Ye Ming had not yet realized the importance of the matter, the fat man repeated it word for word.

"Hearing what you said, I really can't be a model worker?"

Ye Ming only wanted to warm himself by the fire, but as soon as he said this, the faces of all the kitchen staff changed drastically.

Words of praise came pouring in, but Ye Ming just ignored them.

The scene inside the kitchen reflects the atmosphere of the entire steel mill.

Many workers who had just rushed from home to work gathered in front of the bulletin board.

"He has a high enthusiasm for work, is quick-witted, proactive, has excellent cooking skills, is willing to contribute, and is concerned about the workers' needs. Ye Ming, the canteen chef, is just... Ye Ming? Is Ye Ming the model worker of our factory this year?"

When everyone saw the name on the notice, they were all shocked.

"Except for his good cooking skills, which of these items sounds like Ye Ming?"

"Is the factory joking with us? Choosing Ye Ming as a model worker is totally irrelevant!"

Although the selection of model workers has nothing to do with the vast majority of employees in the factory,

But they still expressed jealousy about it.

Someone dug up old accounts and listed all the preferential treatments that Ye Ming had received in the factory in the past two months.

From this we realize that the gap between people is like a chasm.

"The notice said that Ye Ming was beating people to eliminate violence and protect the people?"

"Is collecting scraps a sign of dedication, thriftiness, and a response to the call to lighten the burden on the country?"

"real or fake?"

"Can't you see that? It's obvious that some leaders in the factory are abusing their power for personal gain."

"Don't talk nonsense here. I heard from the workshop director that Director Yang chose Sun Fugui from the second workshop, while the other leaders in the factory chose Ye Ming!"

"Is there such a thing?"

The news spread quickly, and the already chaotic situation became even more confusing.

"Deputy Director Li, what's going on? Even if I can't be the model worker, it won't be Ye Ming's turn, right?"

After hearing the news, Liu Haizhong got excited and hurried to find Deputy Director Li to find out what happened.

A thug who was just a regular employee, who was always slacking off, whose whereabouts were unknown and who beat a woman in public was actually named a model worker by the factory! Is there any law in this?

Deputy Director Li was already full of resentment, and when he saw this young man dare to come over and question him, his anger was instantly ignited.

"Do I need a fool like you to remind me of this? Go back and look at yourself in the mirror. Are you qualified to complain and point fingers at this matter?" He scolded her again.

Liu Haizhong shrank back in embarrassment, only then realizing that his behavior just now was a bit reckless.

"Director Li, please calm down first, I just feel it's not worth it for you.

That Ye Ming and Director Yang are almost in cahoots with each other and don’t take the discipline of our factory seriously at all.”

"Director Yang? Humph, let me tell you, this time, except for Director Yang and me, everyone else voted for him." Li Huaide sneered, and his anger gradually subsided.

Liu Haizhong was shocked when he heard the news.

"How is this possible?"

"I'm also trying to figure out what's going on."

"You should report this to your superiors. There must be something fishy going on. If Ye Ming really bribed the leader, once it's exposed, the superiors will definitely take it seriously."

"Take it seriously? Do you think you are the only smart one?" When mentioning this, Li Huaide was furious again.

What is even more puzzling is that not only did the higher-ups not send anyone to investigate, but they also issued instructions on the selection of model workers for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in advance, causing the results to come out faster than expected.

Li Huaide racked his brains but couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

"Director Li, have you accidentally offended any of your superiors?" Liu Haizhong asked cautiously, as if this was the only possibility.

"Impossible. I'm usually in the factory, so how can I have the chance to offend my superiors?" Li Huaide frowned and thought: "Unless..."

Perhaps the only person who can have a close relationship with his superiors and influence them is his father-in-law.

I had never thought about this before, but now it seems that this possibility is not small.

My father-in-law made many enemies when he was in office. Now that he has retired, it is understandable that he would look for opportunities to find fault with me and make things difficult for me.

If that's the case, then it's really hard to express.

"Director Li, I don't think you need to worry too much. It won't hurt to let Ye Ming be proud for a while.

The key point is that you just said that all the leaders of the factory are biased towards Ye Ming. Does Director Yang really have such a great influence?"

"Yes, how could Director Yang convince so many members of the leadership team? Even if he gave each of them ten yuan, it would still be a considerable sum. Moreover, this matter is extremely risky. How could it be easy to bribe these people with ten yuan? Where did they get so much money?"

Liu Haizhong's words were like an epiphany for Li Huaide, and he suddenly realized something.

"Director Lou!" Li Huaide stood up suddenly.

"Lou Zhiren must have had a hand in this! No one else can come up with so much money at once except him.

With Director Yang's prestige and Lou Zhiren's financial resources, it is not impossible for him to bribe all the factory leaders above the director level."

"How dare a capitalist interfere in the selection of model workers at a steel mill, which is so important? And is it necessary to make such a big fuss just for a model worker title?"
