Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 24 Reaction
When several people saw Hong Wenyuan, they all stood up excitedly. They had to have some definite news whether he was alive or dead. Staying here waiting for news was simply a torture.

Hong Wenyuan glanced at them coldly. He had no good feelings towards them at all. They seemed devoid of any human touch.

"Chief Hong, what is the factory going to do with us?" Liu Haizhong hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Hong Wenyuan snorted and said, "Listen carefully, I will now read out the punishment for you."

As he spoke, Hong Wenyuan began to read out the punishments for several people, but before he finished, he was interrupted by Yi Zhonghai.

"Impossible! I'm just helping the poor. How could Director Yang do this to me?" Yi Zhonghai collapsed. This time he had lost both the wife and the army.

"Shut up. If you have any opinions, go find the factory leaders. I still have to read the results of other people's handling." Hong Wenyuan said.

Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and Jia Dongxu also looked at Hong Wenyuan nervously. If they were demoted by three levels, they would have no chance of living.

Hong Wenyuan ignored the tension of the few people and continued to read out the results of the handling.

After reading it, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no harm without comparison. With the experience of Yi Zhonghai, it was natural for several people to accept the treatment they received.

"You guys, hand over the illegal funds and fines to the Security Department early tomorrow morning," Hong Wenyuan ordered.

"Leader, can we leave now?" Yan Bugui asked in confusion.

"Okay." Hong Wenyuan also noticed that Yan Bugui was not feeling well and did not delay any longer.

"Uncle, please take me to Old Song. I feel a little uncomfortable." Yan Bugui said.

Liu Haizhong was eager to leave now and take Yan Bugui to see a doctor.

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat dissatisfied with the outcome, so he took Jia Dongxu to find Yang Guofeng.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu arrived at the door of Yang Guofeng's office and were stopped by the secretary.

"Secretary He, please let me meet Director Yang." Yi Zhonghai pleaded.

Secretary He knew that Yang Guofeng still thought highly of Yi Zhonghai, so he did not make things difficult for him and said to him, "Wait a minute, I will ask Director Yang for his opinion."

After obtaining Yang Guofeng's opinion, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu entered Yang Guofeng's office.

"Director Yang, I am really wronged. Dongxu's family is in financial difficulty. I thought Shen Zhiyu would be sympathetic..." Yi Zhonghai was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Yang Guofeng.

"Master Yi, it is meaningless for you to say these things. The result of your handling was collectively discussed and decided by the Party Committee of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. No one in the steel rolling mill can overturn the verdict. If you really feel that you are wronged, you can report it to the Ministry of Metallurgy and ask them to send someone to investigate. But what I want to say is that once the Ministry intervenes in the investigation, it will say what it means and will not let it go as lightly as the factory does."

"This……"

Yi Zhonghai originally thought that he could solve the problem by finding Yang Guofeng, but from his tone, he felt that his problem could not be solved at the steel mill.

As for going to the Ministry of Metallurgy, he didn't even think about it. He knew his own situation. If the Ministry of Metallurgy really wanted to conduct a serious investigation, he would probably end up in a cage.

Yang Guofeng also saw Yi Zhonghai's guilty conscience, and his expression became much calmer. It seemed that Yi Zhonghai had indeed made a mistake, and it was not an act of revenge by Li Yumin. As they were talking, a broadcast suddenly came.

"Notice, all staff, please pay attention. Here is a disciplinary announcement. Yi Zhonghai from the third fitter workshop of our factory bullied the families of military martyrs and his behavior was extremely bad. The steel rolling mill, in line with the principle of curing illness and saving lives, has given him a lighter punishment. He has been demoted from a sixth-level fitter to a third-level fitter and compensated Comrade Shen Zhiyu, a family member of a military martyr, 500 yuan... When you drink water, you should remember the well diggers. Soldiers are our heroes. Those who insult and bully the families of military martyrs will be severely punished in the future. I hope the above-mentioned people can recognize their mistakes, mend their ways as soon as possible, and return to the embrace of the people."

The announcement was made three times in a row, causing a huge response in the steel rolling mill.

Production Technology Department, Office.

"Zhiyu, are you the one we are talking about?" Pang Yuanming asked.

Shen Zhiyu replied somewhat awkwardly: "It's me. I always meet one or two weirdos wherever I go."

Pang Yuanming was about to join the army and had a strong sense of identity with the military. When he heard the disciplinary announcement on the radio, he was very angry and cursed: "Yi Zhonghai is such a bastard. How could anyone not realize that he has such a vicious mind?"

Other people in the office also followed his words and started to attack Yi Zhonghai.

At present, the country has just been founded and people still have a high degree of recognition for soldiers, especially martyrs, who are regarded as heroes. Yi Zhonghai's approach runs counter to mainstream values ​​and he is naturally despised.

Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, the third fitter workshop.

"Fuck Yi Zhonghai, he lost people from our workshop three. He always likes to pretend to be a good guy, scolding Zhang and Li, but he never considers his own quality." Guo Dapiezi cursed.

"That's right, it's too bad, bullying the families of military martyrs, they are simply scum." Another person began to stab Yi Zhonghai in the back.

"Damn it, I want to sever the master-disciple relationship with Yi Zhonghai." The speaker was Xiong Kexue, one of Yi Zhonghai's disciples.

"Ke Xue, good job, I support you." Other workers in the workshop responded.

"I'm going too. My uncle is also a veteran. He absolutely cannot accept Yi Zhonghai's despicable behavior of insulting and bullying the families of military martyrs. I also want to sever the master-disciple relationship with him." Min Jincai said.

Yu Liangsong, director of the third fitter workshop, and Yi Zhonghai have always been at odds. Relying on his status as a level six worker, Yi Zhonghai has often made things difficult for Yu Liangsong. Now, after hearing about the factory's disciplinary plan and that many of Yi Zhonghai's apprentices want to sever ties with him, Yu Liangsong is extremely happy.

Yu Liangsong suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "Yi Zhonghai's actions are indeed inappropriate. They affect the image of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the image of our Third Fitting Workshop. His actions are very wrong and deserve our vigilance. Today, many of our workers can see Yi Zhonghai's true colors and want to sever ties with him. The workshop supports this. As the workshop director, I absolutely support you. All of Yi Zhonghai's apprentices who want to sever ties can come and sign up with me. I will reassign a master for you and will not hinder your progress."

"I'm signing up..."

"I……"

"And I……"

All of Yi Zhonghai’s apprentices are in the third fitter workshop. Together with Jia Dongxu, there are a total of 8 people. The lowest is a level 1 fitter and the highest is a level fitter, Min Jincai.

Yi Zhonghai has always believed in teaching his apprentices and starving himself, so he always keeps something back for his apprentices.

After teaching to a certain level, he would stop teaching and let everyone figure it out on their own. If they wanted to ask other masters, many of them would not dare to answer their questions because of Yi Zhonghai's identity.
