Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's account, Director Wang frowned. Based on Yi Zhonghai's description, she realized that the courtyard where Yi Zhonghai lived seemed to be somewhat unusual.

Even if there are some special circumstances, this is not the reason why Yi Zhonghai resigned as the head of the courtyard.

Because what Director Wang was thinking was, even if he replaced Yi Zhonghai, would the next person be able to win people's hearts?
According to what Director Wang knew, Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-grade fitter at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill. Who in Yi Zhonghai's department had a higher seniority than him? Director Wang thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a replacement for Yi Zhonghai.

Now, Yi Zhonghai wants to resign from his position as the head of the department because of a mishandling of a dispute, which puts her in a difficult position.

When Director Wang thought of this, she immediately began to comfort Yi Zhonghai.

"Master Yi".

“I also know a little about the situation in your yard.”

“I think you shouldn’t back down now because of some difficulties.”

“Many people in your area are employees of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, and you are an eighth-grade fitter at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.”

"In terms of seniority, there aren't many people in your area who can compare to you."

"Regarding the matter between Jia Zhangshi and Li Ke."

"Although they are a bit difficult to manage, they can gradually calm down with you around."

"That way, things won't get too out of hand."

After hearing what Director Wang said, Yi Zhonghai shook his head at Director Wang.

"Director Wang, please don't try to persuade me anymore."

"I'm the oldest man in this courtyard, and I really don't want to be the one anymore. I'm stepping down and making way for someone more capable."

"Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui in our courtyard can both be considered old men."

Director Wang disagreed with what Yi Zhonghai had just said. Liu Haizhong in Yi Zhonghai's workshop was only a level seven blacksmith, which was quite a distance from Yi Zhonghai's level eight fitter.

As for Yan Bugui, that would be completely unacceptable.

Given his past as a small business owner, he shouldn't be considered a big shot.

Unless there's no one else left in their compound, Director Wang definitely wouldn't arrange for him to be the head of the compound. If he did that, he might get criticized by his superiors.

So she started persuading Yi Zhonghai again.

"Master Yi, the two people you just mentioned."

"I know all that, but they are not as respected as you."

"You should continue to hold this position as an old man."

"As for the matter of Jia Zhangshi and Li Feng in your courtyard."

"Let our neighborhood committee mediate. Our neighborhood committee will send people to mediate disputes between neighbors."

"Master Yi, can you still resolve the conflicts between your other neighbors in the courtyard?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard that Director Wang was willing to mediate the conflict between Jia Zhangshi and Li Feng, he was naturally willing to do so as well.

After all, Li Feng is completely ignoring what I say, so I can't do anything about it. If Director Wang is willing to resolve this matter, then I can still hold the position of the old man in the courtyard.

After all, he could only control Li Feng, but he could still control the other people in the courtyard.

When Yi Zhonghai thought of this, he couldn't help but nod to Director Wang.

"become!".

"Since Director Wang has said so..."

"I'm not an ungrateful person."

After seeing that Yi Zhonghai had given up on resigning from his position as the head of the hospital, Director Wang nodded to him with satisfaction.

"That's more like it."

"Master Yi, you must not be defeated by small difficulties."

"Besides, you've been a respected elder in the courtyard for so many years, and your prestige is incomparable to that of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui."

"Even if I replace them with Liu Haizhong or Yan Bugui, they might not be able to mediate the conflict between Jia Zhangshi and Li Feng, and they might not be able to mediate the conflicts between other neighbors in the courtyard either. That would be troublesome."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai believed that he couldn't control Li Feng, but he could still manage the others.

He nodded to Director Wang and said, "Director Wang, I understand."

After seeing that Yi Zhonghai understood, Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief and then began to tell Yi Zhonghai that the New Year was approaching.

The community-based prevention and control measures for the Spring Festival should also be implemented.

After all, Director Wang had received notices from the street office and the police station, and Yi Zhonghai was also there, so she simply explained the matter to him.

When Li Feng got home, it was almost eight o'clock.

These past few days have been the slowest period of his life recently.

However, this was all for the sake of the project, so Li Feng had no complaints.

Now all that's left is to arrange some things for tomorrow.

Not only myself, but everyone else in the factory is also working non-stop. Actually, I'm currently mostly responsible for technical matters, which isn't too difficult for me.

Besides, I've done almost everything I was supposed to do.

Tomorrow is just about arranging some details. Once the trial operation and inspection are over, I'll have a lot more free time.

And the Lunar New Year is almost here.

I wonder how Ding Qiunan is doing. I'll have to ask her when she'll be on holiday when I have some free time.

After all, university holidays are not all scheduled at the same time these days.

I've been so busy for so long that I haven't contacted her.

I wonder if she'll blame me.

Although it was only a month or two, Li Feng felt it was still a long time.

When Li Feng thought of this, he decided that after this project was over, he would ask the factory manager for leave to go and visit Ding Qiunan's school.

the other side

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard house.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong, who was inside the house, saw Yi Zhonghai return and couldn't wait to visit Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned when he saw Liu Haizhong, who had followed him into the room.

He hadn't expected Liu Haizhong to be looking for him at this hour.

However, he still asked an older woman to pour water for his bangs.

At this point, both of them were sitting in chairs.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong was the first to speak to Yi Zhonghai and ask him a question.

"Old Yi!"

"Did you find Director Wang today?"

Now Liu Haizhong wants to confirm whether Yi Zhonghai has found Director Wang.

If it's not found, then there's no need to ask any further questions.

After all, if I can't find Director Wang, I can't resign.

Upon hearing Liu Haizhong's words, Yi Zhonghai didn't think too much about it and simply nodded to Liu Haizhong.

"Found it."

"Right at the neighborhood committee."

"When I arrived, Director Wang was still working."

When Liu Haizhong heard that Yi Zhonghai had found Director Wang, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

After all, in Liu Haizhong's view, as long as Yi Zhonghai finds Director Wang to resign from his position as an old man, then it will be a sure thing for him to become an old man himself.

At that moment, he couldn't help but imagine himself as a powerful old man, wielding authority in his courtyard. (End of Chapter)
