That night, Liu Haizhong suffered from insomnia again, just like he did that year.

Xu Damao also suffered from insomnia.

Because he is going to be the chief patrol officer soon, he has to deal with those who did not respect him and looked down on him in the past.

The first person to be dealt with is Director Yang.

Because Director Yang fell, Deputy Director Li Huaide was able to take power and control the entire Red Star Steel Mill.

This is also the token of allegiance that Xu Damao wants to give to Li Huaide.

The next day at work.

Liu Haizhong came to the workshop early. He didn't come to work yesterday, so he had to come early today to make his presence felt.

"Xiao Yu, clean up here."

"Big Head, wipe that cabinet and make it clean. I'm going to check it later."

"Sister Ping, if you continue to eat sunflower seeds during work hours, I will deduct your salary."

Liu Haizhong wandered around the workshop, giving instructions wherever he went.

These workers have long been fed up with him.

But we can't afford to offend him because he is a member of the patrol team and the team leader.

If you show a little impatience, I will immediately accuse you of disobeying your leadership and you will have to pay the consequences.

Although I am reluctant, I still have to obey orders.

A group of people started cleaning while cursing.

At this time, a worker brought Liu Haizhong's big teacup and handed it to him respectfully.

"Team Leader Liu, this is the tea I made for you. I put a big handful of tea leaves in it."

The person who brought tea to Liu Haizhong was a worker named Song Ran, who usually liked to flatter his superiors.

"Xiao Song, thank you. You are a good guy. Work hard. I will promote you if I have the chance in the future."

Liu Haizhong patted Song Ran on the shoulder and was very pleased with his flattery.

"Thank you, Team Leader Liu. Thank you, Team Leader Liu. Thank you, Team Leader Liu, for the promotion!"

When Song Ran heard that he was going to be promoted, he hurriedly nodded and bowed to Liu Haizhong to express his gratitude, as if he was going to be promoted the next moment.

"Liu Haizhong, Deputy Director Li wants you to go to his office immediately."

A head popped out of the workshop office and shouted loudly at Liu Haizhong in the workshop.

Liu Haizhong was very unhappy when he heard someone calling him by his name.

"Damn it, will I die if I call out to Team Leader Liu?"

Liu Haizhong turned his head and saw that it was the section chief Guo Dapiezi who was shouting at him.

Although he was unhappy, Liu Haizhong didn't say much.

After all, he is the section chief and a member of the leadership, so we have to give him some face.

"Okay, got it, I'll be right there."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the workshop. Song Ran, holding a teacup, yelled at Liu Haizhong.

"Team Leader Liu, this tea...!"

"Where do you put it? I'll come back and drink it later."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand, said without turning back, and walked out of the workshop.

In Li Huaide's office.

Liu Haizhong stood opposite Li Huaide's desk, looking at Li Huaide with a pale face.

Li Huaide had a poker face and looked coldly at Liu Haizhong opposite him.

"Tell me, Team Leader Liu, why didn't you come to work yesterday? This question...isn't that difficult to answer, right?"

Li Huaide asked again, and Liu Haizhong was already sweating profusely.

"I...I...I felt a little...uncomfortable yesterday, so...so...!"

How could Liu Haizhong dare to say that he was detained, let alone dismissing himself as the leader of the patrol team?

Even if you are a level 7 blacksmith, you may still be beaten down.

Look at that idiot Yi Zhonghai, he went from being a top-level eighth-level worker to being demoted to a level four worker now.

The salary is only more than 50 yuan a month.

If I only have a salary of more than 50 yuan, how can my family survive?

"Liu Haizhong, I heard that you haven't come back since the day before yesterday. You must have gone to Daxing in two days!"

Li Huaide said jokingly.

"Da... Daxing?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I went to Daxing. I have a relative there who is sick, so I went to visit him."

Liu Haizhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke stutteringly.

Li Huaide nodded, as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Oh..., you went to visit relatives, but what kind of relatives do you have who live in the detention group?"

After saying that, Li Huaide slammed the table, pointed at Liu Haizhong and started scolding him.

Liu Haizhong's face turned pale with fright.

"Deputy Director Li, it's not like that. I...I am innocent. Deputy Director Li, please give me a chance and don't kill me."

"I have offended so many people during this period of time. If I don't have this position as a team leader, I can't stay in the workshop anymore, Deputy Director Li!"

Liu Haizhong said with tears and snot.

Ever since he became the leader of the patrol team, he would whip people even on the tail, and he has offended many people.

However, because he was the leader of the patrol team, everyone dared not speak out.

If his team leader was fired now, he really wouldn't be able to stay in the production workshop anymore.

"Humph! Are you scared now? I just gave you a chance, but you still lied to me. How can I give you a chance?"

Li Huaide said to Liu Haizhong unhappily.

"You are now a detained person. Who would be detained? A prisoner. Do you know what a prisoner is?"

Li Huaide became more and more excited as he spoke, and even stood up.

"We are a regular factory and will never employ a criminal!"

After hearing what Li Huaide said, Liu Haizhong was so scared that his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.

“Li…Li…!”

Liu Haizhong is no longer able to speak fluently.

"However, considering that you were implicated this time, I won't fire you!"

When Liu Haizhong heard that he would not be fired, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be avoided."

"Don't be the patrol team leader anymore."

"Since you don't dare to go back to the production workshop, I will temporarily assign you to the cleaning team to sweep the floor. Your work level will be reduced by two levels, and all your subsidies will be gone. Report now!"

Li Huaide said to Liu Haizhong impatiently, telling him to get out of here quickly.

When Liu Haizhong heard the punishment, all his strength seemed to be drained away.

Not only will his position as team leader be lost, but he will also be demoted and all his subsidies and benefits will be gone.

Although I was temporarily transferred to sweep the floor, I am almost fifty years old and it is almost time for retirement.

"Is my life... over?"

Liu Haizhong didn't know how he left the office.

After leaving the office building, Liu Haizhong sat down on the steps of the office building.

His mind is blank now.

Being demoted from a level 7 worker to a level 5 worker is really the same as that old SP Yi Zhonghai.

But he still has a family to support himself, unlike Yi Zhonghai, who is an old bachelor. If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry.

It was unknown how long he sat there before Liu Haizhong returned to workshop three.

"Team Leader Liu, I have cleaned the floor. Don't find fault with me later!"

"Yes, Team Leader Liu, I have cleaned this cabinet three times, which delayed my work."

The workers who were working in the workshop saw Liu Haizhong coming and said something to him.

Because usually, Liu Haizhong would stroll around the third workshop when he had nothing to do. After all, he was just the leader of the patrol team of the third workshop.

If he shows off in other workshops, he will be beaten to death.

What else could Liu Haizhong say? He could only nod to his fellow workers who were talking.

Then he quickly walked to the lounge, packed his things, and reported to the cleaning team.

If it’s too late and they don’t recognize it, I’ll lose my job.

I’m going to retire in a few years and I can’t get fired.

As soon as he entered the lounge, Song Ran came over holding Liu Haizhong's big teapot.

"Hey, Team Leader Liu, why did you come back just now? The tea is almost cold. I refilled your cup with hot water. The temperature is just right. Take a sip and quench your thirst."

Seeing the teacup handed over by Song Ran, Liu Haizhong took it and said.

"Comrade Xiao Song, you don't have to make tea for me anymore."

Song Ran looked at Liu Haizhong curiously.

"Team Leader Liu, you...got promoted again?"

Song Ran said with a flattering look.

Liu Haizhong's face froze, then he smiled awkwardly and didn't respond.

At this moment, a sweet female voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the workshop.

"Hello, fellow workers. Now let me interrupt you with the penalty notice for the two factory leaders."

"Liu Haizhong, the former picket team leader of the third workshop, is no longer suitable to continue to serve as the picket team leader because he was detained by the Xizhimen police station."

"So the factory leaders decided to remove Liu Haizhong from his position as the leader of the picket team."

"Level 7 workers are demoted to Level 5 workers and temporarily transferred to the cleaning team to be responsible for the sanitation of the entire venue."

This announcer with a sweet voice is Yu Haitang, who has just arrived at the steel rolling mill.

After hearing the broadcast, Workshop 3 was in an uproar.

They all put down their work and came over to watch Liu Haizhong, who had lost his momentum.

"Why did I say Liu Haizhong that you suddenly became low-key? It turns out you were fired!"

"Team Leader Liu... Oh no, you can't call me Team Leader Liu now. You have to call me Cleaner Liu. You have to sweep the floor carefully next time, or your salary will be deducted."

"Hahahahaha...!"

All the workers were laughing at Liu Haizhong, making him really want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Liu Haizhong had packed up his things and was about to get his big porcelain jar.

However, Song Ran knocked over Liu Haizhong's large porcelain jar on the table with a slap, and the tea spilled all over the table.

Liu Haizhong stared at Song Ran angrily, but in the end, he still didn't dare to give Song Ran a big nose bag.

Because he is no longer the patrol team leader who can act tyrannically.

In the end, he just quietly cleaned up the overturned teacup on the table, picked it up and turned away silently.

A phoenix without its feathers plucked is no better than a chicken, this is exactly what Liu Haizhong is like now.

Even if he didn't have the halo of patrol team leader before, he could still be successful with his title of seventh-level blacksmith at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

No matter whether it was the workers or the workshop directors, no one would fail to call him Master Liu when they saw him.

Now, he is like a lost dog.

'What have I gained and fought for in my life!'

Liu Haizhong walked out of the workshop and looked at the scorching sun above his head. In his heart, he couldn't help but ask himself what he was doing in this life.

"Dear fellow workers, the next person to be appointed to a new position is Comrade Xu Damao from the Propaganda Department. He has been working diligently and conscientiously, so the factory leaders have decided to promote Xu Damao to be the picket director of the steel rolling mill, responsible for the work of the steel rolling mill's revolutionary committee."

After three consecutive broadcasts, Xu Damao suddenly became the chief inspector of the Revolutionary Committee.

His power is much greater than that of Liu Haizhong, the team leader.

Xu Damao also heard the broadcast, then took out a badge and carefully pinned it on his left chest.

"Fellow villagers, I, Hu Hansan, am back again."

Xu Damao even quoted a line from the Red Detachment of Women to make fun of his current good mood.

"Now that I'm a director, I'm going to find Sha Zhu first and show off in front of him."

Xu Damao has always been suppressed by He Yuzhu. Now that he has finally made some progress, how can he justify his efforts if he doesn't show off?

Xu Damao hummed a little tune and walked slowly towards the third canteen.

On the road, everyone who knew Xu Damao greeted him.

This is the director of the revolutionary committee’s inspection team at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Anyone who dares to offend him will be severely punished.

Xu Damao held his head high and chest puffed out.

He had never felt like this before. He felt like a human being, a real human being.

He Yuzhu was lying on a recliner in the corner, flipping through a picture book and grinning happily as he read.

Xu Damao put his hands behind his back and walked into the kitchen of the third canteen.

However, the people here are not like the workers outside. They just nod and bow when they see Xu Damao.

Instead, they didn't even look at him and just went about their own business.

This made Xu Damao very angry.

Everyone else is bowing and nodding to me, but you bunch of stinky cooks, how dare you ignore me.

"Damn it, it must be that idiot Zhu who ordered them to ignore me. Wait till I show you how I'm going to deal with you."

Xu Damao cursed He Yuzhu in his heart, then walked to the center of the kitchen and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Silly Zhu...Silly Zhu...Where the hell are you hiding...!"

"Ouch!"

Before Xu Damao could finish his words, he was hit on the head.

An onion hit him hard on the back of the head.

Xu Damao screamed in pain.

When he turned around, he saw He Yuzhu lying on a recliner with his legs crossed, looking at him with a smirk on his face.

"Sha Mao, your grandfather is here. If you dare to call me Sha Zhu again, I will castrate you today."

He Yuzhu's voice was not loud, but Xu Damao felt a chill on the back of his neck.

This Sha Zhu is a man of his words. If he says he wants to castrate himself, he will definitely not show mercy.

"Silly...Zhu Zi, I'm telling you, I'm now...the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Steel Mill...If you...dare to touch me, I'll make sure you don't get away with it."

He Yuzhu chuckled after hearing this, jumped up and threw the picture book onto the recliner.

"What's the matter? Who are you? I didn't hear you clearly. Can you please say it again?"

As he spoke, He Yuzhu picked up a rolling pin that was more than one meter long and was lying beside him.

When Xu Damao saw this, he was so scared that he turned around and ran, cursing as he ran.

"Silly Zhu, don't be so proud, don't fall into my hands, otherwise..."

"Ouch!"

Xu Damao turned around and was cursing loudly, but his feet did not slow down and he was still struggling desperately.

As a result, the whole person crashed into the electric pole, causing the pole to shake.

Xu Damao's scene made everyone who ran out of the kitchen to watch the show burst into laughter.

"Xu Damao, it seems that even though you are the director of the Revolutionary Committee, you are still a waste. It's really embarrassing."

Liu Lan mocked Xu Damao, who was so ashamed that he got up, covered his bleeding head, and ran to the factory hospital without looking back.
