All Heavens Film and Television started from Joyful Qiao Weidong since childhood

Chapter 2876 The three old men each had their own agendas, and Yi Zhonghai's face turned green with anger.
Depend on!
That old bastard came for me!

Xu Damao had just sensed that Yi Zhonghai's gaze seemed a bit off. This old cunning fellow was definitely going to make a fuss about Sha Zhu's matter, but he chose to wait and see for the time being!
After all, we should meet force with force and water with earth!

Respond to all changes with constancy.

"Our compound has been a haven of honesty and integrity for so many years, thanks to everyone's daily hard work!" Yi Zhonghai said, praising the compound.

Immediately after hearing the applause, he gestured to quiet the crowd and abruptly changed the subject: "So no matter what, we must unite and merge our individual families into one big family, don't you agree?"

"Correct!"

"The old man is absolutely right!"

Yi Zhonghai, as the manager, certainly commanded a lot of respect.

Among the crowd, it was Jia Zhangshi, that fat woman with a face full of fat, who shouted the loudest.

"Sizzle~" Yi Zhonghai sipped the teacup that was no longer steaming. The four red characters for "Serve the People" seemed to have peeled off, but he still lingered on them as if they were the symbol of his status.

"Our courtyard house is well-known throughout the neighborhood. Last time we went to a meeting, Director Wang specifically praised us. The main reason is that we help each other out and work together as one when we encounter difficulties!"

"What does this mean?"

"This shows we're united!"

Applause began to ring out, but Qin Huairu, the impromptu straight man, was a bit unprofessional, completely lacking the masterful skill of the silly pig.

Xu Damao watched coldly; at this point, even a fool would know what was going on!
The matter of Sha Zhu has caused a great stir. It's not a big deal if there are only two people involved, but it can become a huge problem if there are many. The social status of workers now is not what it will be like in a few decades. With so many people pressing him to go to the security department, they will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.

Furthermore, given Sha Zhu's personality, he could walk around arrogantly in the courtyard house, and he was always looking down on everyone in the factory. Naturally, he would suffer a lot when he went to the security department.

"Most of the people in our department work at the steel rolling mill, so you should all have heard about what happened to Zhu Zi, right?"

"He does often bring home leftovers, but it's all to help those in need in our compound. He has absolutely no selfish motives, and everyone can see that!"

"But now some people are making a fuss about this!"

"And it happened right here in our compound!"

"Da Mao, why don't you say something too?" Yi Zhonghai said, glancing in Xu Da Mao's direction.

This statement almost confirms that you, Xu Damao, are the bad guy among the masses!
"What am I supposed to say? With this kind of setup, I have no right to speak. Haven't you already represented everything?" Facing everyone's gaze, Xu Damao didn't hold back and immediately retorted.

"I'm already a sinner, so what else is there to say?"

Putting aside Yi Zhonghai, being so bluntly retorted by Xu Damao made him turn pale and even feel confused, as if the kid had suddenly changed.

Even the second and third uncles felt their authority was challenged upon hearing this.

What does it mean to say that an old man represents everything?

What about one's second and third uncles?
An old man's subordinate?
The three of them are on the same level, okay?
The eldest uncle, the second eldest uncle, and the third eldest uncle—this is entirely sorted by age!

Well, I don't know what Yi Zhonghai thinks, but at least that's what his second and third uncles believe.
Uncle Liu Haizhong, though he might show favoritism towards himself and his sons, is generally fair when there's no conflict of interest. At the very least, he doesn't think much of Yi Zhonghai, who is superior to him.

It adheres to these two viewpoints.

He opposes what Yi Zhonghai supports!

He will support what Yi Zhonghai opposes!

Uncle Yan Bugui felt uncomfortable, but he remained silent, remaining neutral. He was the kind of person who didn't care about things that didn't concern him; being an "uncle" was just a way to legitimately gain some advantages, and he disliked causing trouble for himself. Who was this Xu Damao?

If we really offend them, we won't be able to get any of those small advantages in the future!
So he simply pushed up his glasses, lowered his eyelids, took a sip of water from his teacup, and didn't offer any opinion.

These three old men are never on the same page. It's a good thing we don't have WeChat groups yet, otherwise the three of them would probably have to create six groups.

As the conversation suddenly fell silent, Yi Zhonghai found himself in a bind. His best straight man and top-notch henchman, Sha Zhu, was nowhere to be seen, and he didn't know what to do. Maintaining his usual good-natured persona made it difficult to lose his temper, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Yi Zhonghai had never missed Sha Zhuzi as much as he did today. After all, if he were here, he would have rushed up by now, instead of ending up in such an awkward situation.
After waiting for several seconds, no one came to the rescue.

Jia Zhang pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Qin Huairu wanted to say something, but her mother-in-law pulled her back tightly.

"Da Mao, what do you mean by that?" Finally, having no other choice, the old man had to step in and confront him personally. "What have I done that displeases you?"

It's a direct form of moral blackmail. Yi Zhonghai is extremely familiar with this kind of business, but it's a little different from usual.

Because Sha Zhu had played the villain before, he only needed to play the hero, so this sudden change was a bit unusual.

"Don't try to flatter me. Whether I'm satisfied or not isn't up to me. You say we're all equal, but the head of the management office isn't some official. What are you doing here, lecturing this person and talking about that person like some big shot?"

"You're bringing up this and that. Whether they live in the factory or not hasn't even been decided yet, how can you just make a decision already?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"The county magistrate is sitting behind the table!"

"Should we just call for an acquittal?"

"Being a manager isn't a big deal, but it's not a huge stunt either. Putting aside the fact that Sha Zhu's matter has nothing to do with me, whether he has ulterior motives or not is for the factory's security department to decide. No one else has the right to interfere!"

As soon as Xu Damao said this...

The entire courtyard fell silent instantly.

Good heavens, no one has dared to go against this old man for so many years!
Even Jia Zhangshi's plump face showed a look of watching the show. How to put it, although she was enjoying the care of the old man, she always felt that the old man had some ill intentions.

Of course, it wasn't just Yi Zhonghai. Ever since Jia Dongxu kicked the bucket, his widowed daughter-in-law Qin Huairu had become more and more charming every day. She even wanted to keep one eye open while sleeping to watch him.

So he stopped his daughter-in-law from speaking up for him.

Meanwhile, Yi Zhonghai's face was beyond green; it was practically as black as charcoal.

The second and third uncles were terrified by the words "county magistrate" and quickly moved their chairs aside.

This is no joke!
"Xu Damao, stop talking nonsense. Lao Yi's opinion has nothing to do with me or Lao Yan!" Liu Haizhong's seemingly fair words were actually like rubbing salt into Yi Zhonghai's wounds.

"Yes, yes, I didn't say anything!" Yan Bugui was also focused on protecting himself.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to leave Taiwan, someone suddenly appeared.

Not the ultimate killing move, Old Deaf Man!
It wasn't that Sha Zhu sneaked back!
The moment this person opened his mouth, Xu Damao almost fainted from anger!
How can there be such a stupid person?

To be continued...
