Siheyuan: How the Little People Live

The noise in the office was so loud that even when Deputy Director Li was in the office, you could hear Director Yang's screams.

"Hahahahaha, this really made me laugh to death. The director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was beaten up in his office by an employee's mother because she was dissatisfied with the pension for his employee who died on the job. Just thinking about the headlines in the newspaper makes me excited."

He also wanted to see what kind of fight Jia Zhang had in order to cause such a big commotion.

When I arrived at the door of Director Yang's office, I realized that Director Yang's entire face was scratched and I couldn't stop laughing.

"Old Yang, what is going on?"

Director Yang was extremely angry. He was pinned to the ground and hammered by the mother of a deceased employee in his own office. His face was hammered to the ground and he couldn't even pick it up.

He could imagine himself being beaten and becoming a laughing stock when the workers got off work at night.

Especially his old rival, Deputy Director Li, who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, almost made him angry to death.

"Xiao Ma, what's the situation with this Jia Zhang? Who let him in? Are the people in the security department just there to eat and do nothing?"

President Yang could only vent his anger on his clerk. After all, everyone else had already broken into his office, but he was the last one to arrive. The key point was that the sturdy young man could not even pull away a Jia Zhang, so he had to be scratched a few more times.

Clerk Ma also looked at Jia Zhang who was being pressed down by the crowd with a confused look on his face, and said with some embarrassment, lowering his head:

"Director, I don't know either."

Director Yang himself had a very bad temper, and he didn't expect that the person in charge of the matter really had no judgment at all.

"If you don't know, then why don't you go check it out? Why are you still standing here? Do you need me to ask you for help?"

"Yes, yes, Director, I'll check it out right away."

Director Ma ran out in a hurry.

"Old Yang, I'm sorry to tell you this. I was the one who let Jia Zhang in. She came to my office to discuss her son's pension with me, and then she left to relieve herself. I thought she was there, but she suddenly came to your side."

Deputy Director Li said with a smile.

Director Yang felt very aggrieved when he heard what Deputy Director Li said, but everyone knew that it was Deputy Director Li who did it on purpose, but there was no evidence unless Jia Zhang admitted it himself.

"Security department, arrest this Jia Zhang and interrogate him to see if he wanted to come here on his own or if it was someone else..."

Director Yang could only vent his anger on Jia Zhang.

Seeing that Director Yang actually wanted to detain Jia Zhang and then interrogate her, Deputy Director Li certainly disagreed. If Jia Zhang didn't keep his mouth shut and pushed the whole thing onto him, he would have a bad reputation.

"Director Yang, I think this is a bit too much. I don't think they are pretending to be upset with you. After all, his son died in the line of duty in our factory, so it's inevitable that he has some resentment in his heart. You won't be upset with the people because of this, right?"

After Deputy Director Li said this, Director Yang knew that he would not be able to deal with Jia Zhang today.

If he dealt with Jia Zhang today, the workers would all be in danger in the future, and he would no longer have the title of factory director.

“Old Yang, how about this? Everyone is here now. Let’s finish the matter here so that everyone won’t be suspicious.”

Just in time, everyone in the office building gathered here. Deputy Director Li should be careful. After all, Jia Zhang was pushed here by himself. If Jia Zhang is not satisfied, he might turn against him.

"Although comrade Jia Dongxu crashed into the vehicle due to improper operation and died on the spot, he is a veteran employee of our factory after all. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. But isn't 200 yuan a little too little?"

"And I just learned about the Jia family's situation. I didn't know how shocked I was when I learned about it. The rules we have been following are really hurting us. Sometimes we should also investigate how important a pillar is to a family."

"As we are saying now, the Jia family now has a total of five people, and only Jia Dongxu is the pillar. Now Jia Dongxu died in the line of duty in our factory, so one of the four people in his family must take up the responsibility, but according to my investigation, Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu is also pregnant now, and she can't replace Jia Dongxu's work position at all. That means that for nearly a year, the Jia family has no source of income. Everyone should be clear about this situation."

"If we follow the standard compensation of 200 yuan, if the news spreads to the factory, it may make people feel that the factory is inhumane."

"So, I suggest that we compensate the Jia family with 400 yuan. Does anyone object?"

Deputy Director Li's words made everyone move a little.

But no one opposed this thing that was beneficial to them.

No one can guarantee that nothing will happen to him in the factory in his lifetime. If his family is in the same situation as the Jia family, will anyone come to help him?

What's more important is that the situation of the Jia family is indeed real. Maybe 200 yuan is a lot of money, but a pillar of the family definitely needs more than 200 yuan.

Director Yang was silent. He had not thought of this being the case with the Jia family, and no one had told him that this was also the case with the Jia family. Theoretically, as his clerk, he should have been very clear about this matter, and it was his own negligence in his work.

Second, he didn't expect that Deputy Director Li would use this incident to win people's hearts. If he opposed this matter that was beneficial to everyone, he would lose the support of the people.

Third, if I agreed to it, it would mean that I would be completely defeated in this confrontation.

No matter which one it is, it's a failure anyway. Director Yang showed a hint of sarcasm on his face.

No matter how much he tried to guard against Deputy Commander Li's intention to cause trouble, he was actually humiliated by an old woman.

"Since no one objects, then I, as the factory director, have to say a few words. This matter was caused by my negligence in my work and my neglect of investigating the Jia family. I would like to apologize to Jia Zhang."

"Jia Zhang, I'm sorry that you've been wronged by this matter. I'd like to say sorry to you."

Director Yang bowed deeply.

"I also want to thank Deputy Director Li. If it weren't for Deputy Director Li's reminder and advice, I don't know how many workers would have been hurt. Please applaud Deputy Director Li."

"clap clap"

Everyone applauded happily.

After Jia Zhang's matter was dealt with, she was personally escorted to the door by the security department, for fear that she would slip back and have another fight with the leader.
