Siheyuan: Return to the Era of Prosperity

Chapter 33 Pretend
"Old lady, aren't you making things difficult for me? The punishment decided collectively cannot be changed." Qiu Zhengde said with a wry smile.

"Xiao Qiu, old lady, I didn't come to you today to change Zhonghai's punishment. The situation is this: the country will build new steel mills in other difficult places, and Zhonghai has taken the initiative to apply to support the construction. It's hard to say when he will be back, and he will leave soon. What do you think about his punishment?" said the deaf old lady.

Qiu Zhengde asked doubtfully: "Old lady, what do you mean?"

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "Zhonghai is not trying to evade punishment. He is making a contribution to the country. Of course, Zhonghai has made mistakes after all, but there is an old saying that knowing one's mistakes is the best way to improve. He has already realized his mistakes, so we can't stop him from making a contribution to the country! Zhonghai has been busy recently, so he entrusted me, an old lady, to go to the street office. His intention is to educate him and slowly reform him. As for cleaning the toilets, he paid the poor people to clean them, which can be regarded as a disguised way of helping the poor."

Then he took out 120 yuan and handed it to Qiu Zhengde, saying, "This is 120 yuan, which is the cost of cleaning the toilet in Zhonghai."

Qiu Zhengde thought it would be easy to deal with after hearing this, but it was not a good idea for the old lady to come to him whenever she had something to do, so he deliberately said, "Old lady, Yi Zhonghai is still under punishment after all. How about we leave later, after the punishment is completed?"

The deaf old lady had seen all kinds of storms. As soon as Qiu Zhengde opened his mouth, she knew what he meant. She stood up and said, "Madam, this is the last time I will ask you to do something for me."

Qiu Zhengde looked at the old lady, nodded silently, took the 120 yuan and put it in his pocket.

The deaf old lady saw him put the money into his pocket and smiled bitterly. The favor was getting less each time, but the job was finally done.

Now neither the street office nor the steel mill will hinder Yi Zhonghai from leaving, as his departure has been put on the agenda.

The deaf old lady was able to find a wife for Sha Zhu with peace of mind, as she really thought she didn't know that Yi Zhonghai had ruined Sha Zhu's blind date.

It has been more than a month since he traveled through time, and Shen Zhiyu has a thorough understanding of everyone in the compound. It is just as what was said in the video comments when he was watching videos in his spare time in his previous life.

Yi Zhonghai is good at moral blackmail, is narrow-minded, holds grudges, and is a hypocrite.

Liu Haizhong is a government official fanatic with serious feudal ideas. He is a typical government official fanatic and he likes the eldest son.

Although he is easily criticized because of his poor tongue, slow speech and love of being an official, his IQ is definitely online and his prestige in the steel mill is higher than Yi Zhonghai.

It was because Liu Haizhong taught his disciples sincerely, and many of his disciples were already level five workers like him. Therefore, after this incident, Yi Zhonghai's disciples chose to sever the master-disciple relationship, but Liu Haizhong's disciples came to visit him instead.

Most of the workers in the steel rolling mill workshop believed that Liu Haizhong was stupid and was used by Yi Zhonghai, but he was not a bad element.

Many people are willing to believe that a worker who does not keep the technology secret and is willing to hand it over to others is not a bad person.

However, Liu Haizhong is also a person without bottom line. He can do anything to become an official. He is not worthy of close friendship.

Yan Bugui is a very stingy person. At first, he was calculating because of his family difficulties, but later it became a habit. He has a certain bottom line, but he is not reliable. He might sell someone out for two eggs.

The deaf old lady is definitely the big boss. You can't find any fault with the way she speaks and does things. Shen Zhiyu has not yet found a way to kill her.

Sha Zhu is the absolute successor of Cao Cao, a scumbag, and a scumbag without self-awareness. He is Qin Huairu's number one mysterious brother.

Xu Damao is an ordinary guy, who likes to show off and is quite generous. He is Sha Zhu's mortal enemy.

Jia Dongxu is a hard-working and ambitious young man. He works diligently and is filial to his mother. No other problems have been found in him so far.

At No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, there are more than families living in the three-courtyard quadrangle. The people's hearts are complicated. Shen Zhiyu has no intention of making close friends with them. He just wants to get along with them as ordinary neighbors. If someone really plots against him, he must be prepared for revenge.

He really thought that this time he was asked to work and was ready to drive him away and just let it go. His ability was limited now. With the background and power of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, this was the best way to deal with it. However, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. He had plenty of time to slowly settle the accounts.

……

The next morning, after having breakfast with my younger brothers and sisters.

After studying at home for a while, Shen Zhiyu set off for work.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I met Xu Damao who was also riding a bicycle.

"Shen Zhiyu, are you going to the company at this time too?" Xu Damao was very enthusiastic towards Shen Zhiyu. After all, this old friend had avenged him.

Seeing that it was Xu Damao, Shen Zhiyu extended his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man and said, "There are not many people going out at this time. They are all out. If I really meet someone like that, I really can't get used to the smell of toilets on some people."

Xu Damao smiled and said, "It's true. This grandson of Sha Zhu has come to this day."

Shen Zhiyu glanced at Xu Damao and said with pretended regret: "It's a pity that I can't eat Sha Zhu's food in the next three months."

Xu Damao asked doubtfully, "Didn't Shazhu go to work?"

"He smells like a toilet and he's so filthy. Who knows if there are any toilet animals on him? It's disgusting just thinking about it. Whether other people go or not, I don't dare to go anyway." Shen Zhiyu pretended to dry heave a few times.

Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and he said to Shen Zhiyu, "That's right, we should let this grandson burn the boiler."

Shen Zhiyu smiled and said, "It's a pity that the factory director and his team have to use Sha Zhu as a treat. I'm afraid the factory director will discuss with the street office and exempt Sha Zhu from the punishment of cleaning the toilet."

Xu Damao asked anxiously: "Can it be like this?"

Shen Zhiyu said nonchalantly, "Of course it can. It's all the boss's words. The steel mill can just deduct some money from Shazhu and let the street office hire other people to clean up. Or maybe the factory leader will just pay for Shazhu. Hey, Shazhu is lucky to have this skill! If only they could find someone with similar cooking skills to Shazhu, then Shazhu wouldn't be so impressive anymore."

The more Xu Damao listened, the brighter his eyes became. He hurriedly said to Shen Zhiyu, "Zhiyu, I have something else to do. Let's ride faster."

Shen Zhiyu didn't say anything, but he pedaled faster. Soon he caught up with Yi Zhonghai and others and arrived at the steel rolling mill first, leaving Sha Zhu envious.

Shen Zhiyu went to the production technology department.

Xu Damao took advantage of others not paying attention and slipped into Li Yumin's office.

Li Yumin was very familiar with Xu Damao. Xu Damao was a very interesting person. He loved to flatter his superiors, but he always failed to hit the target.

Especially when drinking, he would drink three cups after the leader's one. He is often the first to get drunk. He is a good way to liven up the atmosphere, but a clown in everyone's eyes.

Besides, Xu Damao was Lou Zhenhua's son-in-law and the only film projectionist at the Red Star Steel Mill, so it would be hard for him not to be familiar with him.
