Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Director Yang glanced at Li Huaide, smiled, and said to everyone present: "Deputy Director Li is right, it should be four people, and Comrade He Yuzhu!

But just now, Comrade Xiao Lin came to the factory to report for work. He personally brought Comrade He Yuzhu to see me to plead for Comrade He Yuzhu!

He told me personally that through this incident, Comrade He Yuzhu has deeply realized his mistakes, and he also publicly and sincerely apologized to Comrade Xiao Lin in their courtyard!

Now Comrade Kobayashi has accepted his apology, and they have reconciled and become good friends and good brothers again!

Comrade Kobayashi also told me frankly that Comrade He Yuzhu had made such a mistake in recent years because he had been deceived and bewitched by Yi Zhonghai and others. Now he has truly realized his mistake, made a profound self-examination in front of me, and once again sincerely apologized to Comrade Kobayashi!

I think that the purpose of punishing some comrades who have made mistakes is to help them recognize and correct their mistakes. Since Comrade Xiao Lin has personally come to plead for Comrade He Yuzhu and hopes that the factory will not further punish Comrade He Yuzhu, then we don't have to punish Comrade He Yuzhu any further!

What do you think, Deputy Director Li?

When Li Huaide heard that the victim, Xiao Lin, actually came to the factory in person to plead for He Yuzhu, he felt that there was no point in continuing to hold He Yuzhu against him.

Moreover, this Sha Zhu's cooking skills are indeed quite good. The factory's small kitchen still relies on this guy to prepare the reception meals. If he continues to be bullied, even if he is further punished, he will still have to be transferred back to the canteen to work and continue to prepare reception meals based on his cooking skills.

If Sha Zhu knew that he was the one who was targeting him, he would refuse to serve any guests at any banquet he hosted in the future, or even cook the food to make it taste bad. This would not be good for him.

Li Huaide is actually a super pragmatist. He is a person who can take it or leave it. Even if some people may disrespect him, as long as this person is useful to him, he can still put aside his personal prejudice and continue to reuse this person.

For example, in the original drama, Li Huaide once wanted to make a move on Qin Huairu, but was caught by Sha Zhu, who beat Li Huaide up without caring that he was the deputy factory director.

Later, after the wind rose, Li Huaide came to power. If he held a grudge, killing Sha Zhu would be as easy as crushing an ant. However, Li Huaide did not punish Sha Zhu. Instead, he continued to use Sha Zhu. This is the magnanimity of Li Huaide.

After listening to Director Yang's words, he said nothing more and nodded, "So that's how it is! Since Comrade Xiao Lin, the victim, has expressed his intention not to pursue Comrade He Yu Zhu's fault, and Comrade He Yu Zhu has truly realized his mistake and made a sincere apology to Comrade Xiao Lin, then I think Director Yang is right, and we don't have to punish Comrade He Yu Zhu further!"

When everyone heard this, they all nodded and agreed not to punish He Yuzhu further, and the meeting continued.

In the end, Director Yang was deeply saddened and made a self-examination at the meeting. He said that he had previously overemphasized the importance of senior technical workers in the factory and underestimated the importance of moral construction of the factory employees. Now he realized his mistakes and decided to change his previous attitude. He firmly supported Deputy Director Li's proposal to severely deal with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu.

After some discussion, the two factions finally compromised and the final decision was made at the factory leadership office meeting, which was to give Yi Zhonghai a serious warning, deduct three months' salary, and send him to the sanitation team to clean toilets for three months. After three months, he would return to a workshop to continue working. His grade would be downgraded to a fifth-grade worker, and he would not be allowed to re-test within two years. If he made mistakes again, he would be fired on the spot and would never be tolerated.

Liu Haizhong was also given a serious warning, with his salary deducted for three months. He was sent to the health team to clean toilets for two months. After the expiration of his term, he returned to the forging workshop and his grade was downgraded to level five. He was also not allowed to re-evaluate or upgrade within two years. If he committed the same offense again, he would be directly dismissed.

As for Jia Dongxu, he had been idle and lazy in the workshop to begin with, and now that this incident had happened, he could not be let off easily. The factory finally decided to fire Jia Dongxu and keep him in the factory for a year for observation. He would be treated as a temporary worker within one year, and his salary for three months would be deducted. He would also be punished by cleaning toilets for half a year. If he performed well after half a year, he could be transferred back to the workshop to continue working.

If he does not make any more mistakes within one year and actively corrects his work style and attitude, his status as a regular worker will be restored, but his work grade will be downgraded to an apprentice and he will not be allowed to take work grade assessment within two years. If he still does not correct his work attitude and continues to be idle and not enterprising, he can be dismissed at any time.

Before noon, the punishment results for Yi Zhonghai and the other two had been announced. During lunch at the factory, a clear female voice was heard from the factory's loudspeaker, and the factory's punishment decision on Yi Zhonghai and the other two began to be read out five times in a row.

Yi Zhonghai, who was walking towards the second canteen with his head down and limping, supported by Jia Dongxu, one hand on his waist and groaning, heard the punishment decision against himself, Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu on the loudspeaker. His legs went weak and he fell to the ground on the spot, his face pale and his eyes dull, as if he had lost his soul in an instant.

Jia Dongxu standing by couldn't help but open his mouth involuntarily, his face full of disbelief, as if he felt he was hallucinating. He stood still, loosened his hand that was supporting Yi Zhonghai, and stood there in a daze.

This also included Liu Haizhong, who was walking towards the cafeteria with a big belly. When he heard his name on the radio, he staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his apprentice next to him helped him up and he did not fall on the spot. However, he also looked incredulous and pale, standing there in a daze.

The three men were stunned by the factory's sudden decision to punish them.

Although they had guessed that the factory might impose certain punishments on them when they returned to work today and had some mental preparation, after returning to the factory today, apart from being given a lot of cold stares, they did not hear that the factory had made any decision to further punish them.

This made the three guys secretly breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the factory had let the matter go and did not intend to punish them any further.

Although after returning to the factory, they were looked down upon everywhere, pointed at behind their backs, and some people even mocked them in front of them. Some people even cursed them behind their backs, saying that they were not human beings and were worse than animals. They actually took advantage of the person's mother's death to bully the orphan of a martyr. Why didn't they take them out for shooting?

This made Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and the other two feel that time in the factory was passing very slowly, and it was almost as if each day was a year.

However, in order to survive, they had to suppress the anger in their hearts, pretending not to hear or see anything, and silently lowered their heads to work, thinking that as long as they could endure for a while, this matter would gradually be forgotten by people, and their lives would gradually return to their previous track.

Who let Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong be senior technicians in the factory? Especially Yi Zhonghai thought that he was one of the few eighth-level fitters in the factory, and even if he made a mistake, the factory would not do anything to him!

Even though Director Yang was very rude to him now, he would not do anything to him because he was an eighth-level worker. After all, many special precision workpieces in the factory could not do without eighth-level workers like him, so he thought that even if the factory punished him, it would not be too severe.
