I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"I see."

"Okay, I understand. By the way, where are you going?"

"Beixinqiao Scrap Recycling Station. My dad found a job for me."

Xu Damao did not hide it. Although this job was a bit embarrassing to talk about, it could just help him gain some sympathy in front of Liu Haizhong.

"A rag collector?"

Liu Haizhong was quite surprised.

Xu Damao is usually a very arrogant person, but unexpectedly he has fallen to such a low point that he has to start his business as a rag collector.

"That's right, Brother Yi. We have to make a living. I know this brings shame to our compound, but we can't just sit at home and starve, right?"

These words touched Liu Haizhong.

After all, Xu Damao was a resident of their compound, and as the elder brother in the compound, it would be embarrassing if such a thing were to spread.

"Okay, I'll think of a way to deal with this."

Only after Xu Damao walked away did his expression return to its previous state.

"Bah, you are such a dog-eyed person, what kind of person are you? Do you really think that just because you are with Li Huaide and have become a deputy director, you can look down on even the king of heaven?"

Xu Damao spat at the figure behind Liu Haizhong.

When I got into trouble, Li Huaide didn't say a word to help me.

In fact, this idea is somewhat unfair to Li Huaide.

If the Lou family had not insisted, he would still have been sent to jail, but he might have been able to keep his job.

Father Xu sneered at Liu Haizhong's words.

"Come on, how much power can a deputy director have? Don't hold your hopes too high. Keep your footing and take care of your health. When the storm has passed, I'll see if there's a chance to help you find a better job."

"Let's go, it's getting late, don't keep Shen Zhan long."

The factory was peaceful as usual today.

The popularity of the model worker selection came and went quickly.

Even those employees who are eligible to run for model worker are no longer enthusiastic about it, let alone others.

After all, it's just a nice-sounding hat.

However, when used on Ye Ming, it may not be a good thing.

In the end, when the factory employees mentioned Ye Ming, they no longer referred to him as Chef He from the canteen, but instead said, “Oh, you’re talking about that model worker!”

"The factory held a meeting today. Li Huaide proposed promoting Liu Haizhong to deputy director of the workshop, and I agreed."

In the office, Director Yang revealed the news indifferently.

Ye Ming did not show much reaction.

Peel a peanut and throw the shell into the fire.

"The deputy director of our factory should be a state cadre with a salary of 20 yuan, right? How much is his actual salary? Fifty-six yuan?"

"After all, he is a level 7 blacksmith. The factory will provide him with corresponding treatment. I estimate that he can get around 62 yuan."

Director Yang picked up the enamel teacup to moisten his throat and also grabbed a handful of peanuts.

Then he added: "I think Li Huaide has sensed something and wants to promote his own confidants, but there is no other movement.

Qin Jingru has been in and out of his office frequently recently, maybe she is planning something big."

"Each of them has their own agenda. What serious business can they possibly have if they get together?"

Ye Ming didn't care.

After eating the peanuts, he patted his butt and returned to the kitchen.

"There are quite a few good things left over from today's banquet."

Liu Lan was in a very good mood after just cleaning the reception room.

"Come on, let's split it."

In the past, when Sha Zhu was around, most of the good dishes naturally belonged to him.

Now Ye Ming disdains these leftovers, which actually benefit other kitchen staff.

Similar things happen from time to time.

Even if Director Li from the cafeteria saw it, he would often turn a blind eye.

Ye Ming naturally wouldn't bother with these trivial matters.

Looking at the half yellow croaker in the lunch box, Qin Huairu was full of joy.

I can bring it back so that Xiaodang and Huaihua can have a good meal.

“We workers have the power!”

“Hey, we workers have power!”

As soon as the bell rang, people in the kitchen packed up their bags and went home.

There was nothing unusual today.

Qin Huairu, carrying her bag, walked out of the factory with the crowd without distraction.

However, from a distance, Deputy Director Li was seen leading two security personnel, looking around at the door.

The woman's heart secretly tightened.

He tried to slip away quietly, but failed to escape the sight of Deputy Director Li.

"Qin Huairu! Don't go, I'm calling you!"

Li Huaide stepped forward quickly and stopped the man.

Qin Huairu's face turned pale instantly, and she quickly put on a respectful smile in response.

"Deputy Director Li, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. Is there another person in the factory besides you, Qin Huairu? You look so sneaky, is there something fishy going on?"

Li Huaide's eyes fell on the bag in Qin Huairu's hand.

In order to lure her into the game, he specially left some extra meat dishes in today's reception.

With Qin Jingru's instigation at home, it was certain that this woman would find it difficult to resist the temptation.

"Deputy Director Li, please don't wrongly accuse me. What could I be up to?"

"Hmph, if there is any problem, we will know if we search it. Search her bag for me!"

At Li Huaide's command, two security officers immediately approached and tried to snatch the bag from Qin Huairu's shoulder.

"Hey, what are you doing? It's broad daylight, and you still want to bully me? Come quickly, everyone, come and see!"

The bag contained kitchen leftovers. Thinking of what happened to He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu no longer cared about her face.

In panic, he shouted for help, hugged the bag tightly and took a few steps back.

The noise was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of factory employees.

Qin Jingru was mixed in the crowd. Seeing this scene, she was secretly proud that her plan had succeeded.

Ye Ming happened to pass by and saw Qin Jingru's expression and roughly guessed what had happened.

This pair of sisters are really alike. Birds of a feather flock together.

Qin Huairu might not be able to stay in the kitchen anymore and will probably be transferred to the workshop.

Ye Ming had no intention of intervening in the dispute between the two sisters.

We can do something by leveraging the relationship between Qin Jingru and Deputy Director Li, and perhaps we will gain something.

I no longer stopped to watch the fun, because there were people waiting for me in the school.

Ye Ming got on his bicycle and rode away.

The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.

Li Huaide was not panicked. Qin Huairu was just trying desperate measures. The more people there were, the easier it would be to prove her guilt.

"This is a routine inspection at the factory. We suspect Qin Huairu of taking public property without permission, so we need to check her bag."

"I really didn't..."

During the argument, Qin Huairu's hair became messy and her eyes were full of helplessness.

Several men surrounded a widow, and her pitiful appearance aroused the sympathy of many workers.

"What's the point of keeping an eye on a widow?"

"Yes, he didn't investigate anyone else but Qin Huairu. Isn't Deputy Director Li's intention too obvious?"

"Don't think that we workers are easy to bully. If we push people into a corner, even the deputy factory director's position won't help!"

"That's right, we workers must unite and not allow ourselves to be bullied!"
