Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1213 Zhao Shuya's Choice

Just as Wang Weidong was thinking about what new thing to come up with, there was a knock on the door.

"It's Yu Li." Wang Weidong asked with a smile as he looked at Yu Li who pushed the door open.

A while ago, Yu Li went to Hong Kong. After coming back, she became very good at dressing up and looked extremely beautiful.

In the past, after Yu Li caught Wang Weidong's gaze, she would definitely walk over without hesitation.

But today, she stopped at the door, looking a little strange, and whispered, "Director, Zhao Shuya is here."

When Wang Weidong heard the name "Zhao Shuya", he immediately understood that she must have come to plead for Liu Guangqi.

Thinking of this, Wang Weidong nodded slightly and said to Li: "Bring her in, and don't leave."

Yu Li responded, turned around and went out, and soon she brought Zhao Shuya into the office.

As soon as Zhao Shuya entered the office, she saw Yu Li standing aside with no intention of leaving. She immediately looked a little uncomfortable and unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes with her hands.

Wang Weidong looked at her calmly and asked, "Zhao Shuya, what do you want from me?"

Zhao Shuya hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask, "Director, has Liu Guangqi been arrested?" Wang Weidong admitted frankly, "Yes, he is suspected of stealing the factory's top-secret information. The evidence is irrefutable, and he is now detained in the security department."

When Zhao Shuya heard this, her eyes instantly turned red. She took a step forward and said in a pleading tone: "Director, can you please spare him this time? He must have been confused for a moment."

Wang Weidong raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Shuya and said seriously, "Zhao Shuya, Liu Guangqi was arrested because he stole confidential information about the factory's printers.

This matter is serious in nature and is not a trivial matter.”

He paused, looked straight at Zhao Shuya, and added: "In fact, the materials you brought back were also stolen by Liu Guangqi.

It’s just that the material does not involve any classified content.”

When Zhao Shuya heard the news, it was like a bolt from the blue and she was stunned.

Her eyes widened with disbelief and her lips trembled slightly.

She never imagined that when Liu Guangqi told her sincerely that he wanted to learn how to repair printers and asked her to bring some materials back, he actually intended to steal the printer's secrets.

"This... This is impossible..." Zhao Shuya muttered subconsciously, with a hint of bewilderment and helplessness in her voice. She felt mixed emotions, on the one hand, she was shocked and angry at Liu Guangqi's actions, and on the other hand, she felt annoyed and scared that she might have indirectly participated in it without knowing it.

She stood there blankly, her mind went blank for a moment, and she had no idea what to do.

Yu Li looked at Zhao Shuya quietly from the side, a hint of sympathy flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Wang Weidong silently picked up the investigation materials compiled by Liu Changyi from the table and handed them to Zhao Shuya.

"Look, it's clearly written here."

Zhao Shuya took the materials with trembling hands and scanned every line of words eagerly.

The detailed evidence in the materials clearly showed the ins and outs of Liu Guangqi's theft of confidential materials. The evidence was irrefutable and left her no room for any doubt.

Only then did she wake up from her dream and realize that she had been deceived by Liu Guangqi.

"Director Wang, I... I really didn't know he would do such a thing, I..."

Zhao Shuya was filled with regret. She raised her head, her eyes full of guilt and self-blame, and apologized to Wang Weidong in a crying voice.

"I'm sorry for the trust the factory has placed in me. I...how come I didn't see his evil ambitions? I was really wrong."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and could burst out at any time.

Wang Weidong looked at Zhao Shuya's regretful expression, sighed slightly, and softened his tone a little: "Since things have come to this, don't blame yourself too much.

Now you should know that this is not something I can let go of easily. Stealing factory secrets is a serious violation of factory rules and regulations, and may even violate the law. "

Zhao Shuya nodded quickly, tears streaming down her cheeks, and choked up as she said, "Director Wang, I understand, I...I was just anxious for the moment, so I came to ask you for help.

I know I was wrong, and you can punish me however you want."

Zhao Shuya knew very well that although she had a close relationship with Wang Weidong, Wang Weidong had never shown any affection for her.

However, to her surprise, Wang Weidong decided to show leniency this time.

Wang Weidong looked at Zhao Shuya and said slowly: "This time the situation is special, I decided to deal with it leniently.

On the one hand, you were indeed deceived by Liu Guangqi

On the other hand, the printer's confidential information was not actually stolen."

Zhao Shuya listened to Wang Weidong's words, her eyes full of surprise and gratitude. She quickly said, "Director Wang, thank you so much. I really don't know what to say..."

Wang Weidong waved his hand and continued, "Although I forgive you, the factory rules cannot be abolished. Go back and write a self-criticism, hand it in to the office, and then suspend your work for a few days to reflect on yourself."

Zhao Shuya nodded hurriedly, her voice choking with sobs: "Director Wang, I will do as you say. I will reflect deeply on my mistakes. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity."

Wang Weidong nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can go back. Be more careful in the future and don't be so foolish."

Zhao Shuya expressed her gratitude to Wang Weidong again, then turned around and left the Orchid Automobile Factory with slightly heavy steps.

Zhao Shuya dragged her heavy steps back home and saw Liu Haizhong squatting at the door from a distance, looking around anxiously like an ant on a hot pot. As soon as he saw her figure, Liu Haizhong immediately stood up and took two steps at a time to greet her.

"Shuya, what's wrong? What did Wang Weidong say? Can Guangqi and Guangtian be released?" Liu Haizhong's face was anxious and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhao Shuya lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Liu Haizhong's eyes, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "Dad, I... I can't help Guangqi. Director Wang said that Guangqi stole factory secrets, and it is true. This matter cannot be easily resolved."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, his face, which was originally full of hope, became distorted in an instant, and anger erupted like a volcano. "What did you say? You useless thing! You work at the Lanhua Automobile Factory and you know Wang Weidong, but you can't even handle such a small matter! I asked you to beg him, and this is how you beg?" Liu Haizhong's face flushed, and his finger almost poked the tip of Zhao Shuya's nose, and saliva flew.

Zhao Shuya was already full of grievances, and after being scolded by Liu Haizhong, her anger was ignited. She was not a weak woman who could be manipulated by others. She immediately raised her eyebrows and retorted without showing any weakness: "How dare you scold me? Look at your good son Liu Guangqi, he is a liar! He is a thief who stole factory secrets!"

Zhao Shuya was so angry that she was shaking all over, her eyes were red, and her voice was trembling slightly because of anger: "I was kept in the dark by him. He said he wanted to learn how to repair printers and asked me to bring the materials home. I was wholeheartedly helping him, but what happened?

He actually did such an illegal thing! Today, Director Wang showed me the evidence, it was clear and obvious! I went to plead for mercy, and Director Wang already gave me a lighter sentence for my sake, what else do you want? "

Liu Haizhong was shocked by Zhao Shuya's sudden outburst. He stood there for a moment, with his mouth open, unable to utter a word.

He never expected that the usually docile Zhao Shuya would suddenly become so angry and point the finger at her own son.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong didn't say anything, Zhao Shuya's anger grew stronger and she continued to scold him loudly, "You usually spoil them and let them do whatever they want.

Now, when something goes wrong, they blame me. Liu Guangqi should bear the consequences of his actions.

Liu Haizhong was not a reasonable person to begin with. He was used to having the final say at home, so he could not stand Zhao Shuya's scolding.

At this moment, he was so angry that he was fuming. His face turned blue and red, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he roared: "You shrew, you dare to talk back!"

As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and pounced towards Zhao Shuya with bared teeth and claws, wanting to attack her.

At this critical moment, the residents watching nearby reacted quickly and rushed over.

Several young and strong guys were quick to grab Liu Haizhong's arms from both sides and control him firmly.

Liu Haizhong struggled desperately, and kept shouting: "Let me go! I teach my daughter-in-law a lesson, what does it have to do with you!"

When the neighbors in the compound heard this, they all started to denounce the situation angrily.

"Liu Haizhong, what are you talking about! How can you hit someone? It was your son who did something wrong, but you didn't reflect on it and even wanted to hit your daughter-in-law. How can you be a father-in-law like this!"

"That's right, don't go too far. Zhao Shuya has had a hard time. Why should she be held responsible for the bad things your son did? If you continue to be so unreasonable, we won't agree!"

Everyone was talking at once, criticizing Liu Haizhong's behavior.

Liu Haizhong listened to the angry scolding around him, and gradually lost his arrogance, but still stiffened his neck and said stubbornly: "How dare she talk to me like that? As a father-in-law, can't I control her?"

"Your idea is wrong. What era is it now? You still stick to the feudal patriarchal way. You need to be reasonable and not bully others by relying on your status as an elder."

Under the accusations of the crowd, Liu Haizhong was still unconvinced, but he also knew that he was in the wrong.

The most important thing is that Liu Haizhong realized that if he dared to talk back, these young people would really beat him up.

He could only glare at Zhao Shuya fiercely, and stopped struggling, but he was still muttering in a low voice: "Humph, I am unlucky today..."

Then Liu Haizhong turned around and left angrily.

He walked back angrily and soon returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he was stopped by the third uncle. Although the third uncle was only a primary school teacher, he was well-informed and had heard about what happened in the steel mill.

The third uncle pushed the old glasses on his nose, a malicious smile appeared on his face, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, isn't this Master Liu? I heard that something big happened in your family. Both of your sons have become criminals. How did you educate them?"

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he was already furious. He glared at her and shouted, "Stop making sarcastic remarks here! What does this have to do with you?"

The third uncle was not in a hurry, and continued to speak slowly: "How can it not matter? This kind of thing happened in our yard, and it was the topic of conversation after dinner. You say, you always think you are good at educating children, but now both of your sons have been arrested, where can you put your face?"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his hand and wanted to hit the third uncle, but he held back.

He knew that although the Third Uncle looked weak, if he took action, things would only get worse and he would lose face even more.

So he gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Don't be complacent, this matter is not over yet!"

"What a joy! It's really such a joy!" The third uncle laughed.

When Yan Jiecheng was arrested, Liu Haizhong often mocked his family, but now the situation has finally changed.

When Auntie heard the noise outside, she hurried out of the house. She saw Uncle Three was still mocking Liu Haizhong, and she felt a little worried. She hurried forward and pulled Uncle Three's arm, whispering, "Uncle Three, please stop talking. What if Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangqi come out and cause trouble? Let's not offend them too much."

When the third uncle heard this, he immediately got angry, shook off the third aunt's hand, glared at her, and shouted angrily: "What do you know! With what they did, you still want to come out? I think they are completely trapped this time, and there is no chance for them to come out and cause trouble! Don't worry about it here."

Yan Jiecheng, who was standing nearby, also clapped his hands in agreement, with a look of satisfaction after revenge on his face, and said, "They did something illegal, so they should be punished accordingly. Getting out? It's not that easy!"

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, the third uncle became even more proud. He raised his chin slightly, looked at Liu Haizhong's departing back, and snorted, "That's right, good will be rewarded with good, evil will be punished with evil. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come yet. Liu Haizhong was so excessive in the past, it's time for him to reflect on himself now."

Liu Haizhong kicked the door open angrily, and the door hit the wall with a bang, scaring the second aunt in the house so much that she trembled all over.

Second Aunt was sitting on the edge of the kang, her eyes red and swollen from crying. When she saw Liu Haizhong coming back, she immediately rushed over as if grabbing a life-saving straw, hugged Liu Haizhong's arm, and cried and howled: "Old man, you are finally back, what should we do with our sons? Please think of a way to save them!"

Liu Haizhong was upset by her crying, and he shook off Second Aunt's hand and yelled irritably: "What can I do! Do you think I don't want to save her?"

After saying that, he slumped down in the chair, holding his head in his hands, his face full of helplessness and regret.

The second aunt staggered after being thrown, but she didn't care about that. She cried and said, "Old man, please think of a way. You can't just watch our son being locked up!

Oh, now I remember, Xu Damao has a pretty good relationship with Wang Weidong, can we ask him to beg for mercy?"

When Liu Haizhong heard the three words "Xu Damao"

The drooping head instantly lifted up, with flames of anger in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You still mention Xu Damao! He played a very important role in Guangtian and Guangqi's arrest this time! Humph, how can I go to him to beg for mercy? I won't let him go!"
