Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

When they arrived at the workshop, some workers who had not gone to eat felt relieved when they saw He Lai coming. After all, He Lai had never made a mistake with the machines.

He Lai stood next to the malfunctioning machine and checked it carefully. Using his spatial ability, he quickly found the problem.

"Director Liu, who is using that machine?"

"It's me." A man in his thirties stood up.

"What level of worker are you now?" He Lai looked at the man and asked a little puzzled.

"Level 4 worker."

"Oh, a level 4 worker shouldn't make this kind of mistake." He Lai was obviously even more confused and didn't understand why this person did this.

"What do you mean? What mistake did I make?" Although the man felt a little guilty, he still did not admit that he had done anything wrong.

"What if I tell you that the gears in this area of ​​your machine are stuck by foreign objects? What do you think is going on?"

He Lai patted a part of the fuselage and spoke to the man.

"This, this, this...how should I know!" The man looked at He Lai in surprise. He didn't expect that He Lai would know that he had done something tricky here with just a casual check.

"Normally, foreign objects can't enter this place. What do you think is going on? You should know what the crime of destroying a machine is. It doesn't matter if you don't know. I can help you understand it for free."

He Lai took a sip of water and continued.

"Article 276 of the Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who destroys machinery and equipment, harms farm animals or disrupts production and operation by other means for the purpose of venting anger, revenge or other personal purposes shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or control. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years. This shows that if the sabotage has a serious impact on production and operation, it may be subject to more severe legal sanctions.

do you understand? "

He Lai continued to increase the stakes, emphasizing the word "three years" and emphasizing the tone.

"This... this is none of my business. Director Feng asked me to do this."

When the man heard that he was going to be sentenced to three years, he panicked and collapsed to the ground. He couldn't bear the charge of disrupting production, so he told the truth.

"Director Liu, let the security department handle this matter."

He Lai saw that the truth had been revealed and said to Liu Haizhong.

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, go to the security department, and the rest of you go and control Wu Xiaolong."

Liu Haizhong ordered.

Soon the person was taken away by the security department.

Because a foreign object was stuck in this place, He Lai had to dismantle the machine, otherwise there would be no way to remove the foreign object.

You can't use your spatial ability to take things out, otherwise if you find out that there's nothing after you take it apart, you won't be able to explain it.

Liu Haizhong could only ask a few trusted apprentices to help arrange the parts he had disassembled, to avoid any shortage that would cause trouble.

Soon, everyone saw a small piece of iron where the gear was stuck. They all expressed their admiration for He Lai for being able to figure out where such a small thing was stuck.

The Security Department soon got the result. The man confessed everything. It was Director Feng who ordered him to do the sabotage. However, Director Feng said that he just expressed his dissatisfaction with He Lai during a casual chat and did not order him to destroy the machine.

Now, He Lai was confused. How had he offended this guy named Feng? It was not a big deal.

Soon, the punishment results came out. Because no machine damage was caused, the fourth-level worker Wu Xiaolong became a toilet cleaner, and the workshop director Feng Qingnian was directly demoted to an ordinary workshop worker. Both of them were fined three months' salary.

Deputy Factory Director Wang was also implicated and received a punishment. Deputy Factory Director Li, together with the other two deputy factory directors, threatened Factory Director Yang, forcing him to hand over the management of the workshop. The workshop was then divided among the four deputy factory directors.

Deputy Director Li also gained the management rights of six workshops, including the three workshops where He Lai worked.

This time, Director Yang shot himself in the foot. Fortunately, he got the news earlier and went to the security department early to stabilize Director Feng. Otherwise, if he had betrayed himself, he would probably have ended his position as director.

I can only curse Director Feng in my heart for being a waste. I asked him to cause trouble, and that's how he did it. He even did something like destroying the machine.

I originally just wanted to use these things to warn He Lai, to make him leave Li Huaide and rejoin my camp, but I ended up making things worse and it turned out like this!

He Lai was also speechless. This Factory Director Yang had many tricks up his sleeve. First, he asked me to lead a few newly graduated and not very skilled technicians. Seeing that this trick was ruined by Section Chief Ge, he came up with this kind of dirty trick again. He even let the other two workshop directors cause trouble for me. No wonder these two people always ask me to deal with even the smallest matters!

Now that I think about it, I know it was Director Yang who was behind this. He is so petty and would not let me go even for the smallest matter.

It seems that Director Yang is really just a figurehead. He doesn't think about how to promote production, but only about eliminating dissidents.

A flatterer dared to do such a small thing, and it was so big, no! I have to find Mr. Zhou to support me, I can't do it without someone to support me.

After work, He Lai went to the military compound carrying a bag of big watermelons.

"Oh, such a big watermelon. Ok, old lady, bring a knife and cut it up now."

When Mr. Zhou saw the watermelon in He Lai's hand, he quickly told Mrs. Zhou to get a knife.

"Grandpa Zhou, you can't eat this watermelon for free today."

He Lai turned around and avoided Mr. Zhou's hand.

"Hey, you're still using this trick, just tell me what's wrong, I'll definitely do it for you if I can. Give me the watermelon, I haven't had it for a long time."

Old Master Zhou grabbed He Lai's hand and took the watermelon directly.

"Grandpa Zhou, I was bullied by the people in the steel mill. You have to help me."

He Lai didn't struggle and let Mr. Zhou take the watermelon away.

"What? Who dares to touch you? Speak!"

When Mr. Zhou heard that He Lai was bullied, he was so angry that he put down the watermelon without eating it and asked quickly.

"It was Director Yang who was trying to trick me. I saw through it, but I'm still a little unwilling to accept it."

"What? That guy surnamed Yang dared to touch you. Why don't I believe it? Didn't I go to your factory?"

Mr. Zhou didn't quite believe that Director Yang would dare to touch He Lai. After all, he had personally gone to the steel mill to support He Lai. Besides, He Lai was not the kind of person who would cause trouble.

"I don't believe it either, but the facts are in front of me, so I have to believe it. He must be unhappy about the last time the wild boar was caught in the iron fence."

Apart from this incident, He Lai didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and just became a little closer to Li Huaide.

"Tell me in detail what happened."

At this time, Old Mrs. Zhou also came over with a knife, took the watermelon and started cutting it.

He Lai told Mr. Zhou everything that happened to him, from the time he invented the grinding machine to the time he was assigned to the new workshop and faced difficulties.

"Good boy, Director Yang looks like a lackey, but I didn't expect he can actually stir up trouble! Okay, I got it. I'll let Old Yu talk to him tomorrow, and he will definitely not embarrass you in the future."

After Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating.

"That's it. I thought Grandpa Zhou would come to our factory to vent my anger!"

He Lai was a little disappointed. He took the watermelon handed to him by Old Lady Zhou and started eating it.

"Okay, it's so embarrassing for me to go there in person for such a small matter. There are many such struggles in the past. Just take care of it yourself."

After Mr. Zhou finished eating a piece of watermelon, he was about to take the second piece when He Lai took it away.

"Grandma Zhou, let's eat. One piece is enough for Grandpa Zhou. Eating too much is not good for his health."

He Lai picked up a piece of watermelon and handed it to Old Mrs. Zhou.

"Okay, grandma, eat it." Old Mrs. Zhou took the watermelon and started eating it with a smile.

"Okay, old man, I know. I'll find a chance to get someone into your steel mill someday. That should be fine, right?"

Mr. Zhou said helplessly.

"Grandpa Zhou, eat quickly, eat quickly. Once the watermelon is cut, it must be eaten immediately. It cannot be left overnight."

He Lai thought this was good enough and quickly handed Mr. Zhou a piece of watermelon.

It is a recognized fact in later generations that watermelon cannot be cut or left for a long time, even if it is kept in the refrigerator. Many people in later generations have been hospitalized for stomach upset due to this reason.

He Lai also reminded Grandma Zhou that the watermelon must be eaten up. Even if she couldn't finish it, she couldn't leave it for too long and must pay attention to it.

Soon the three of them finished the watermelon. He Lai then gave Mr. Zhou another acupuncture treatment. He Lai had discovered that Mr. Zhou's health had improved a lot, and he thought it was related to the fact that he had fed him a lot of fruits.

He Lai left only after he fell asleep.
