Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Whatever you do, you should actually choose to do what is most beneficial to yourself. Of course, you can't do things that are not beneficial. Lin Geng is not a fool like Sha Zhu, who does things without using his brain and only acts based on his mood and preferences.

He will indeed be working in the steel rolling mill for a long time in the future. If he falls out with Director Yang at this time, he will definitely be made difficult for by Director Yang before he is overthrown by Deputy Director Li, and no one will come forward to protect him.

Although people now say that the working class is the greatest, in any era, officials have more rights than ordinary workers, and county magistrates are not as good as the current managers. As the director of a factory with 10,000 employees, which is a deputy-department-level unit under the Ministry of Industry, Director Yang enjoys the treatment of a deputy-department-level cadre.

For a factory director with deputy-department-level rank, it was not difficult for him to control a small worker like Lin Geng. It could be said that he could do it with ease, as easy as killing a stink bug.

Even though he did not have the power to fire a worker easily, it was still very easy for him to make things difficult for Lin Geng and force him to quit his job at the steel mill.

Therefore, although Lin Geng was angry in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he once again put on a very complicated expression, smoked a cigarette and remained silent for a long time, and once again repeated the performance he gave to Director Wang and the others. Then he raised his head and said to Secretary Chen with red eyes:

"Secretary Chen, since Director Yang said so, I can certainly agree. But I also want to ask, are you going to let me swallow such a big grievance? Director Yang, do you know that they almost forced me to death?

If I hadn't been so lucky and had a long life, I would have recovered two days ago. Now I would have been driven away by them to the storage room next door, which is leaking everywhere and has a tattered and leaky roof, where I would be lying there waiting to die!

Director Yang won't let me raise my hand in vain and let them go so easily, right?" Lin Geng asked Secretary Chen with red eyes.

Secretary Chen showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lin, don't get excited. Director Yang has already asked about the whole story of this matter, and of course he will never force you to let them off easily!

After hearing all this, Director Yang was also very angry. He specifically told me to tell you that even if you forgive them, the factory will not let them off easily this time and will punish them severely!

As for any requests you have, just tell them. After they meet your requirements, you can forgive them this time!

This is the minimum. How could Director Yang force you to swallow this anger for nothing?

What Director Yang means is that you can ask them for the compensation or damages you want, and then forgive them. Director Yang fully supports you in this matter. After all, you are the victim, and it is not excessive to ask them to compensate you!

Director Yang can fully understand your grievances! He fully supports your reasonable request!

This is all for the sake of the factory's production and the needs of national construction. That's why I had no choice but to be sent here to discuss this with you!

By the way, here are some tickets that Director Yang asked me to give you, including a ticket for a bicycle, please accept it!"

After hearing this, Lin Geng pretended to be relieved, thinking that it was fortunate that Director Yang had not been blinded by greed and had not completely sat on Yi Zhonghai's side, forcing him to let Yi Zhonghai go, just wanting him to extort money from Yi Zhonghai and his gang of beasts before letting them go this time.

As a result, his anger towards Director Yang was reduced a lot. In addition, when he saw the large amount of tickets handed over by Secretary Chen and said that there was a bicycle ticket among them, he felt much more at ease.

You have to know that material things are very scarce at that time, industrial productivity is not developed enough, the supply and demand relationship is still very contradictory, and the demand is far greater than the supply. The country has to implement a planned economy. Almost everything can only be bought with a ticket. If you have money but no ticket, you can only go to the black market or the pigeon market and pay a high price to get it.

At that time, bicycles were still in short supply. Many people wanted to buy bicycles, but the number of bicycles available was very small. Although the government allocated some bicycle tickets to the steel mill every year, with nearly 10,000 people distributed among them, only the leaders of the factory could hold a few bicycle tickets.

It was extremely difficult to get a bicycle ticket at that time. Up to now, Xu Damao was the only one in the yard who rode a bicycle, which belonged to the factory and was only used for his convenience in showing movies in the countryside.

Director Yang spent a lot of money to intercede for Yi Zhonghai and the old deaf man this time. In order to live up to the trust of his old friend, he even gave him a bicycle ticket, just to ask him to show mercy to Yi Zhonghai and the old deaf man this time.

From this perspective, Director Yang is not so annoying after all. At least he kept his promise to his old friend, even at the cost of violating principles. From this perspective, Director Yang is not the kind of person who has no principles at all.

Apart from anything else, just based on this bicycle ticket, he had to give Director Yang some face, so he didn't hesitate to take the tickets handed to him by Secretary Chen and put them in his pocket.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Geng said to Secretary Chen: "Okay, Secretary Chen, please tell Director Yang that I agree to his request! Of course, I will still file a claim with Yi Zhonghai and others first. As long as they meet the conditions I proposed, I will write them a letter of understanding, and the matter will be over!

At the same time, I have another unwelcome request. I would like to ask Secretary Chen to help me tell Director Yang and ask for his instructions!"

Secretary Chen suddenly felt relieved. His purpose of coming here today had basically been achieved. However, when Lin Geng said that he had an unreasonable request, he felt that maybe Lin Geng was going a bit too far.

But he still patiently said to Lin Geng: "Okay, then tell me what else you want?"

Lin Geng said seriously: "In fact, the matter is very simple. This time, something like this happened between Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and me. No matter what happens, our relationship will never be restored!

I also said frankly today that they have been old workers in the factory for many years and have many connections in the workshop. Moreover, they are all senior workers and must have a certain prestige in the factory workshops.

Now they and I have become complete enemies. If I take over, normally I will take over my mother's job and work as a workshop worker!

First of all, I have to state that I have never looked down on the workshop workers. It is just because of me, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong that once I take over the factory and go to the workshop, I think they will not let me have an easy time! Even Director Yang may not be able to protect me all the time!

So I would like to ask Director Yang to understand me. After I take over, I don’t want to go to the workshop. Can you transfer me to the purchasing department and make me a buyer? I think this is not a difficult thing for Director Yang, right? "

When Secretary Chen heard this, his brows relaxed. At the same time, he also admired Lin Geng's cleverness, because what Lin Geng said made a lot of sense. After this incident, he had completely broken off relations with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Secretary Chen himself didn't believe that after this incident, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong would be able to refrain from retaliating against Lin Geng. Lin Geng's worries were not excessive at all. If he took over his mother's job and entered the factory and workshop, then Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong would be able to make things difficult for Lin Geng with the relationships they had accumulated in the factory and workshop over the years. It would be too easy for them to do so.

More importantly, if they team up to trick Lin Geng, he will have to start as an apprentice when he enters the factory. By then, it will be difficult for him to learn any skills, let alone get promoted. It will be even more impossible. He will probably be suppressed all the time. Not to mention that it will be difficult for him to get promoted in this life, at least he won't be able to get promoted for many years.

Therefore, it is normal for Lin Geng to worry, and it is also reasonable for him to make such a request. The fact that he could foresee such a result shows that Lin Geng is very smart.

Secretary Chen said immediately, "So that's how it is! This is a simple matter. I don't need to ask Director Yang. I can promise you on behalf of Director Yang that you can be transferred to the purchasing department when you take over the factory!"

But I also want to ask you something. The Purchasing Department has purchasing tasks. You are so young. If you enter the Purchasing Department without any connections, it will be difficult to complete the purchasing tasks. This will be very disadvantageous for your future work! Do you have the confidence to do a good job as a buyer?

Don’t wait until you enter the purchasing department and find that you can’t adapt and can’t complete the purchasing tasks. Then your salary will be deducted. You must think about it! Don’t blame me for not reminding you! "
