Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye talked and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the night school.

This was probably not the first time that Ran Qiuye came to the night school. She brought He Yuzhu to the principal's office with ease and met the principal, Du He.

Du He was about forty years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a firm gaze and a righteous demeanor.

Ran Qiuye greeted him warmly, "Brother, are you still busy?"

Du He is Ran Zhenshan's student, and Ran Qiuye is Ran Zhenshan's daughter who was born in his old age. Although Du He is a generation older than Ran Qiuye, Ran Qiuye still calls Du He - senior brother.

Du He smiled warmly and said, "I'll be waiting for you when I'm done!"

Upon hearing this, Ran Qiuye hurriedly introduced He Yuzhu, "Brother, this is my friend He Yuzhu, now the deputy director of the canteen at the steel mill."

He Yuzhu said respectfully: "Hello, Principal Du, I am He Yuzhu, the junior!"

Du He said with a smile: "Heroes have always emerged from youth. Comrade He has become the deputy director of the canteen of the steel mill at such a young age. His future is limitless!"

He Yuzhu said calmly, "Thank you, Principal Miao. I am just an ordinary cook. I was lucky enough to be promoted to the position of deputy director thanks to the leadership..."

Du He's face was full of admiration. "Not bad, modest and polite, not arrogant or impatient. Qiu Ye, you have good taste."

Ran Qiuye was caught off guard and blushed. She said in a delicate voice, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? He Yuzhu and I are just ordinary friends."

Du He smiled and said, "No need to explain, I understand, I understand!"

Ran Qiuye said angrily: "Brother, if you do this again, I will tell my father."

Du He restrained his expression and said seriously: "No more joking, let's get down to business!"

It turned out that it was easy to get things done because of one's connections in the court. With the help of Du He, all the procedures were completed in less than twenty minutes.

Looking at the junior high school textbooks in his hands, He Yuzhu felt as if he was in another world.

After leaving the night school, He Yuzhu sent Ran Qiuye home. Under Ran Qiuye's reluctant gaze, he pedaled his bicycle and disappeared into the night.

When He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard, he found that the central courtyard was already surrounded by people. Fang Changgui was sitting in the main seat with his horse and sword, while Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were standing opposite Fang Changgui with their heads hung.

Yi Zhonghai saw He Yuzhu and said in a bad tone: "He Yuzhu, where did you go after get off work? Why did you come back now?"

He Yuzhu directly retorted: "It's none of your business. Do I need to report to you when I go there? Who do you think you are?"

Yi Zhonghai was furious, his face was livid, "He Yuzhu, you are so arrogant and lawless..."

"Snapped!"

Fang Changgui slammed the table angrily and shouted, "Yi Zhonghai, you have such great power that people who don't know you would think you were a county magistrate during the Qing Dynasty. What's the matter? Do you want to restore the monarchy?"

Yi Zhonghai shuddered all over and almost peed himself, and hurriedly explained, "Director, don't get me wrong, I was just angry because so many people were waiting for He Yuzhu, so I spoke without restraint!"

He Yuzhu said coldly: "I was not informed that there would be a meeting tonight, how could I know that there would be so many people waiting for me?"

Fang Changgui said in a deep voice: "Yi Zhonghai, didn't you inform He Yuzhu about the meeting tonight?"

Yi Zhonghai stammered, "There were too many things to do today, and I forgot about it when I was busy."

Fang Changgui said with a sullen face: "If that's the case, how can you still have the nerve to blame He Yuzhu for coming back late?"

"Yi Zhonghai, you have a serious problem. The arrogant look you showed just now gave me the feeling of a mountain king. Do you think that you are the boss of the courtyard and you can shit and piss on the people?"

"I'm telling you, this is a new society where everyone is equal. You, Yi Zhonghai, are no more noble than anyone else and have no right to bully anyone anywhere."

"Also, I reiterate once again that the manager only has the right to mediate neighborhood conflicts. He has no other rights. He is not obliged to report to you where others go or what they do..."

Yi Zhonghai now regrets very much why he said that much. At the same time, he also hates He Yuzhu very much for talking back to him. If you had just accepted the criticism honestly, wouldn't everything have been fine?

He was very scared now, afraid that Fang Changgui would beat him up in a fit of rage.

Looking at Fang Zhanggui's dark face, he swallowed hard, his teeth chattering as he said, "Director, you are right. I will definitely correct my mistakes..."

Fang Changgui actually wanted to get rid of Yi Zhonghai very much, but he had already promised the deaf old lady that he would not touch Yi Zhonghai for the time being. He went back on his word in less than a week, and it would be difficult to explain to the deaf old lady.

Fang Changgui doesn't know yet that the deaf old lady has already drawn a line between herself and Yi Zhonghai. If she knew, she would have killed Yi Zhonghai without hesitation."

Fang Changgui looked at Yi Zhonghai with disgust and said impatiently, "Alright, you go stand there first, and we'll start the meeting."

Yi Zhonghai secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Changgui didn't hit him.

Fang Changgui's face was full of seriousness, and he said in a low voice: "The main purpose of this meeting of the whole institute is to solve two problems."

"The first thing is the fight in the hospital."

"Three women got into a fight, one was sent to the hospital, and one was sent to the police station. You guys really made me proud, and you made me go to the police station!"

"Most people know what happened. If you don't know, you can ask someone who knows. I will now publicize the punishment results of the street."

"Li Guifang was the first to take action and was the main party at fault. She was forced to sweep the streets for a month."

"Wang Shufen is the secondary offender and will be sent to sweep the compound for a month."

Fang Changgui paused, then glared at Yan Bugui, "Yan Bugui, come to the front. The second thing I want to do is to talk about your business."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui was at a loss and stood up like a walking corpse. The blow he had suffered in the past two days was so great that he even wanted to die.

Fang Changgui said sarcastically: "Yan Bugui, you really make me look at you in a new light. As a teacher, you actually asked for benefits from students and defrauded He Yuzhu's property. You are simply tarnishing the sacred profession of teaching..."

Fang Changgui scolded Yan Bugui for ten minutes. Yan Bugui kept his head down from beginning to end, looking as pale as death.

Fang Changgui was furious when he saw Yan Bugui's indifferent look. "Yan Bugui, don't you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui burst into tears and said with remorse: "I am sorry to the Party, the country, the people, the school, and my students. I will definitely change my ways..."

Seeing Yan Bugui, a man in his fifties, still crying and snotting, Fang Changgui's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said impatiently:

"Okay, since your school has already punished you, I won't punish you any more, but you don't have to be the third uncle anymore."

Although Yan Bugui had already expected this result, he still felt a pang of pain in his heart.
