Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

At this time, Lin Gengcai noticed that it seemed that only Section Chief Wu was in the Purchasing Department, so he asked, "Section Chief Wu, where are the other people in our department? Why can't I see them?"

Section Chief Wu immediately laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Our section's mission is to go to the countryside to purchase supplies. Why do we stay in the factory every day? Will anyone in the factory deliver the supplies to us?

So the people in our department usually run around outside. They only come to the department to meet on Monday morning every week. They come to the factory only when there is something to do. They don’t usually report to the factory, and they won’t be punished for absenteeism or lateness!

Come over early next Monday and I'll introduce you to the guys in our department! You can get to know each other then!

But don't expect them to lead you. Now everyone has their own tasks. People in our department find their own ways to purchase materials. Don't expect them to tell you their ways! Don't blame them either!"

Lin Geng suddenly realized, and almost died of joy. Isn't this the life he wants? He has had enough of the days of punching in and out from nine to five and working overtime without overtime pay. He wants to come to the purchasing department, isn't it just to be a salted fish?

He absolutely loved this kind of working hours. He almost never had to report to the factory for work. As long as he wanted, he could sleep until he woke up naturally every day. He would hand in his tasks to the factory every month and get paid. If he purchased a lot, the factory would give them rewards without asking where the materials came from. This job was simply tailor-made for him and he loved it.

After Chief Wu explained everything that needed to be explained to him in detail, he asked him to take a photo the next day and bring the photo to the factory to get a work permit. After getting the work permit, he could go to the countryside. The factory would not divide them into different areas. Whoever had a way could find a way on his own. Everyone had their own way. As long as they could get the supplies back, it would be considered a skill.

However, under normal circumstances, if colleagues in the same factory have already found a way, you cannot poach them. If you poach your own people, you will be scolded by Section Chief Wu and Director Liu when you return to the factory.

Seeing that it was still early and there was nothing to do in the factory, Section Chief Wu asked Lin Geng to go back to take a photo. After taking the photo, he would come back to apply for a work permit and a letter of introduction for him to go to the countryside for official business. Then he could go wherever he wanted and no one would bother him anymore.

Lin Gengle happily said goodbye to Section Chief Wu, walked out of the office building, thought for a moment, asked passers-by, and walked towards the second cafeteria.

But just as Lin Geng walked out of the office building and headed towards the second canteen, Yi Zhonghai appeared in front of the office building and just happened to see Lin Geng's back as he walked towards the second canteen.

Looking at Lin Geng's departing back, Yi Zhonghai's eyes once again spit fire, and he stared at Lin Geng's back with resentment on his face, as if he wanted to kill Lin Geng with his eyes.

It was this young man who, in just one morning, shattered all his efforts over the years. He shattered the image of a fair and upright gentleman that he had worked so hard to build over the years. He fell from being a high-ranking, respected old man in a courtyard house and an eighth-level worker in a steel rolling mill to falling into the mud.

Now, not only has he lost the support of everyone in the courtyard, becoming a shameless villain despised by everyone, but he has also become a despicable person despised by everyone in the factory. Ever since he entered the factory gate, he has been constantly ridiculed and looked down upon. Even several of his apprentices in his workshop looked at him with contempt.

This made Yi Zhonghai extremely uncomfortable and extremely unacceptable. He wished he could just run into a wall and die rather than endure being looked down upon by countless people.

Think about how proud he has been over the years. He has always tried his best to create the image of an upright and kind gentleman.

Although he was well aware of the dirty calculations in his heart and the filthy things he had done behind people's backs that he could not face others, he still felt that he should be a respected person. If it were not for Lin Geng, he would not be so embarrassed now. All this was not his fault, but Lin Geng's fault.

He really wanted to explain to everyone that he was not wrong, that it was not his fault, it was all the fault of that little beast named Lin. But now that the news had spread and there were punishment decisions from the street office and the public security bureau, no matter how he explained, it was so pale and powerless, and he could not argue at all.

So he felt very upset, and even thought about quitting his job at the steel mill, moving out of his current courtyard house, taking his wife to a new city, finding a job, starting all over again, and re-establishing his image of being honest and upright.

But when he calmed down and carefully analyzed the pros and cons, he reluctantly gave up the idea, because in this era, he no longer had the skills to travel around the world.

He wanted to quit his job and leave, but it was not something that could be done with just a few words. No matter where he went, he needed a letter of introduction, he needed to bring his file, and he needed a certificate of no criminal record issued by the police station. Just these few things were not enough for him to solve.

Because now he must have a criminal record in his file. Even if he is not held criminally responsible this time, he has still been detained. As long as he is detained, there will be a record left in his file, and the reason for his detention will be explained in detail.

This incident has left a deep mark on him, leaving an indelible stain on his originally clean resume.

Because of this stain, he will never be able to completely wash it off no matter where he goes. It will even be very difficult for him to find a suitable job elsewhere, because he assisted others in seizing other people's property and embezzled other people's money and property, which will be despised by others. He will not be welcomed and respected just because he is an eighth-level fitter.

There is also a letter of introduction from the street office required for moving the household registration. The street office will also state the reason. When the time comes, it will be written in the letter that he can no longer make it because of bullying others and embezzling other people's property, so he had to move out of necessity. By then, it is estimated that even the place that accepts him will include him in the key control target.

Another thing is that if he wants to find a job somewhere else, he needs the police to issue him a certificate to prove that he is a good person and has no criminal record. He can't even get such a certificate. If he gets a certificate, it will definitely state when he colluded with others to bully martyrs' relatives, seize their houses, and embezzle their property. How can he find a job then? Haha, what a waste! Who would want him?

Therefore, it was impossible for him to quit his job and move away from the old city. He would still find it difficult to move if he left the old city. He might not be able to find a job or a place to live, and eventually become a beggar on the streets and die of hunger and cold on the streets.

Moreover, he is old now. He is over 50 and will retire in a few years. At this age, no matter how good his skills are, it is difficult for him to find a job. After losing this iron rice bowl, it will be extremely difficult for him to find such a good job elsewhere. He really can't bear to give up this iron rice bowl. After all, he has this iron rice bowl in the future, and even if he retires, he can still get a good pension.

If he quits his job at the steel mill and looks for a job elsewhere, it is very likely that when he retires, he will have no pension. How will he rely on for retirement then?
