After Cao Anping and Xu Damao left, other workers in the yard also came back one after another.

Yan Bugui felt very disappointed when he saw more than a dozen people returning happily with New Year gift packages. He felt that the people's teacher, whom he was usually proud of, was useless.

Finally, Yan Jiecheng followed everyone back and was given a fierce look by his father, whose eyes were full of disgust.

He was a little confused and said, "Dad, why are you looking at me like that? I didn't offend you!"

Yan Bugui pulled his son to a corner, pointed at him and angrily scolded him: "Look at everyone else, they all brought back so many things, but you came back empty-handed. How dare you say you are from the steel mill?"

Yan Jiecheng was quite self-aware and said helplessly: "Dad, you are overthinking it. I have only been working for a few days, how can such a good thing happen?

The temporary workers who have been working for eight or nine months haven't said anything, so why should we complain?

Besides, you know that in this city, how many companies can provide benefits to temporary workers?

Our steel mill is already pretty good, and next year I can get half of it, and even half is still much more than your school."

Yan Bugui felt heartbroken for a moment, but he couldn't refute it because he also understood the truth. He just felt uncomfortable and was just complaining.

However, he didn't want to lose face in front of his son, so he lectured him: "Hey! How come you don't have any ambition at all? You're still thinking about being a temporary worker next year. Don't you know how to perform well and get a permanent job? You don't have any ambition at all!"

Yan Jiecheng instantly lost his confidence. After joining the company, he met several senior temporary workers and realized that either they had to spend money, have connections, or the steel mill had to expand its recruitment.

Otherwise, becoming a regular employee is like a carrot falling in front of a donkey. You can see it but cannot eat it. What’s the point of having ambition?

As for money, Yan Jiecheng still owes his father a huge sum, so forget about it in the short term. As for a large-scale expansion of the steel mill, that is even more impossible. After all, the steel mill had just expanded its scale once two years ago.

His only hope was to know Cao Anping through his connections, but he also knew that the other party was not so easy to fool.

So he replied cautiously: "Dad, you may not know that there are hundreds of temporary workers in the steel mill, but only a few of them can be regular employees every year.

If I want to become a regular employee next year, my only chance is to find Cao Anping. Dad, please think of a way for me."

Yan Bugui felt a little guilty when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Isn't it possible that Cao Anping would bear a grudge just because of one sentence?"

Seeing his father's eyes flickering, Yan Jiecheng asked doubtfully, "Dad, please tell me something. Are you hiding something from me?"

"It's okay! I'm here to help you find a solution. I think you have to build a good relationship with Cao Anping. It's easier to make friends since you are of the same age."

Yan Bugui said perfunctorily and prepared to go into the house. He felt that guarding the door today was a wrong decision.

Although the people who were holding New Year's goods were showing off in a high-profile manner, as if they were afraid that others would not know about it, they tied the bags tightly and did not give him any chance.

The only one who could have taken advantage was Xu Damao, but that guy took the opportunity to slip away.

But at this time, Shu Meng just happened to be carrying the New Year gift package into the house with some difficulty.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward and said with concern: "Xiao Shu is back, you must have had a hard time carrying it all the way, Third Uncle, let me get it back for you."

Shu Meng was very alert. On the first day she arrived, she was grateful for the third aunt's righteous words, but after living there for a few days, she had figured out the Yan family's ways.

Although I am still grateful to the other party for speaking up, I don't want to cause any more trouble.

But she didn't want to offend anyone, so she politely replied, "No need, Third Uncle. It's only a few steps away. You are the elder, so how can I trouble you?"

The other party was a lesbian, so Yan Bugui naturally would not attack directly like he did with Xu Damao. He kept a distance of two meters and continued with a smile:

"You're welcome. You just moved in, and as the manager, it's my duty to help new neighbors.

That Xiao Shu... Uncle, I'm very curious about the New Year goods in your steel mill, can you let me see them?"

Shu Meng was speechless. After confirming that some of the rumors she had heard were indeed true, she suddenly screamed:

"Oh! I'm in a hurry to go home and take care of my mother. Uncle, please ask other people. There are comrades from the steel mill behind us."

After saying that, she started running, as if it wasn't any effort at all.

Yan Bugui was a little dumbfounded, thinking how could young people nowadays be so impolite that they ran away before they even finished speaking!

He could only glare at Yan Jiecheng who was watching the show, and cursed bitterly:

“I told you to study hard, but you just wouldn’t listen to my advice!

Look at him, he has only been in the factory for a few days, and he has brought back so many things. I think I have wasted my time as a teacher. My wisdom is ruined!"

Yan Jiecheng hurried back to the house. His father was very upset today and he didn't want to continue to be unlucky.

At this time, Sha Zhu was also carrying New Year's goods and walking into the courtyard with his feet treading in a zigzag pattern. When he saw Yan Bugui, he greeted him heartlessly:

"Hey! Third uncle, you got a good harvest today, right?"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and walked away angrily. He couldn't even touch this idiot's lunch box, let alone the New Year's goods.

Moreover, Shazhu is really bad-mouthed. He always talks about things that are irrelevant to the topic and his words always hurt people's feelings.

Sha Zhu didn't care and walked towards the central courtyard happily. He didn't have any bad intentions, he just wanted to make a few jokes. It would be the best to see others get humiliated.

When he got home, he threw the sack on the table without paying any attention to his sister's condition. Instead, he said with a smug look on his face:

"Yushui, come and see what good food we have here. Order whatever you want. I'll show you my cooking skills."

He Yushui didn't answer, but handed the letter to his brother with a serious face.

Sha Zhu took the letter and asked in confusion, "What's this?"

He Yushui said calmly: "Dad sent it back, take a look for yourself!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was furious. He threw the letter to the ground and glared at him:

"He still had the nerve to contact us. There has been no news for so many years. I thought he was dead! Don't look at it, just burn it!"

Seeing how much his brother hated their father, He Yushui hated Yi Zhonghai even more.

She picked up the letter, handed it back to Sha Zhu and said word by word: "Brother, you'd better read it, or you will regret it!"

Seeing his sister's serious look, Sha Zhu could only take the letter again suspiciously and open it to read.

But the more he looked at it, the less he believed it, because the Yi Zhonghai in his mind was not that kind of person.

However, when Sha Zhu saw that they were asked to ask Yi Zhonghai for an explanation in private, he became unsure. Some things cannot withstand face-to-face confrontation.

Seeing that Sha Zhu's face was uncertain, He Yushui took out the 10 yuan and national food coupons attached to the letter.

"This is what my father sent back. He said that he has been sending letters back every month since the second month since he left. The recipient is Yi Zhonghai."

Sha Zhu counted on his fingers and if it was true, the total amount of food coupons would be more than 1000 yuan!

When he thought about the difficulties of that period, he felt like he had eaten shit.

In just a moment, Yi Zhonghai's image in his mind collapsed!
