Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

This morning, the most excited people were none other than the Liu family father and son.

Liu Haizhong acted like a leader, as if he were a high-ranking official.

Liu Guangqi was also beaming with joy.

Today is the day the section chief promised to make me a division chief.

This morning, the father and son were dressed very smartly.

"Son, if the announcement about becoming the section chief is to be made this morning, be sure to listen to the broadcast as soon as possible. Once you become the section chief, you must thank the department head properly."

"This position is hard-won, so you have to do a good job. When the time comes, you can get your father a government position too. Our Liu family will be blessed with good fortune."

Liu Haizhong said excitedly.

"Of course, you just have to wait and see. Your son has already made a name for himself in the steel rolling mill. If I work for another year or two and move up the ranks, once I've reached the position of deputy section chief, giving you a small official position will be a piece of cake."

Liu Guangqi stood with his nose in the air, an expression that suggested he looked down on everyone.

"Hey Lao Liu, you look great today. Have you recovered from the previous one? There's another assessment after the New Year, so don't forget to practice hard. You're only at level six now. If you drop any lower, your whole family will have a hard time making a living."

As soon as Liu Haizhong arrived at the workshop, he heard someone mocking him.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? You'd better take back what you said, or don't blame me for making things difficult for you later."

Liu Haizhong forgot in the blink of an eye the instructions his son, Liu Guangqi, had given him.

He hasn't even become an official yet, but he's already acting like one.

The people in the workshop all looked at him with disdain. How dare someone with only a Level 6 certificate shout like that? Doesn't he feel ashamed?

Why are you giving anyone a hard time? With your Level 6 certificate, who in this workshop can you possibly give anyone a hard time?

He didn't even have a single official position; he was just doing things assigned by his superiors.

That's a collaborative effort; it's impossible for someone with only a Level 6 certificate to give orders here.

Just as Liu Haizhong was about to speak, the factory's loudspeaker suddenly blared.

"Notification, notification. Comrade Xu Damao has recently performed exceptionally well and made outstanding contributions to the factory. Therefore, he has been promoted to head of the blackboard bulletin board section."

"I hope the factory's employees will continue their efforts and strive for promotion as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this news, Xu Damao appeared calm and collected, but he couldn't contain his joy.

They got involved with the steel rolling mill and later wanted to break away from Lou Xiao'e's family.

He then used Lou Xiao'e's family's secrets to secure his own future.

That was something that could be easily accomplished, which made Xu Damao feel even more comfortable.

at the same time.

"What? Xu Damao became the section chief? Shouldn't that position be mine?"

Upon hearing the news on the radio, Liu Guangqi was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and stood there dumbfounded, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Liu Haizhong also heard the announcement on the radio.

My heart was filled with turmoil, and an unnamed anger flared up within me.

Without saying a word, Liu Haizhong dropped what he was doing and rushed to the section chief's office, pushing the door open.

"Section Chief, how can you go back on your word? Wasn't this position supposed to be for my son? Why has Xu Damao suddenly appeared? What contributions has he made to the factory?"

Liu Haizhong questioned.

The section chief looked disdainful, and seeing Liu Haizhong's expression, he was also very dissatisfied.

"Old Liu, this position wasn't decided by me, it was decided by Factory Director Li. You didn't do any work this morning, but came straight to my office to interrogate me. What's on your mind?"

The section chief said coldly.

“I call you section chief out of respect. Didn’t my son go to your house to give you a gift a couple of days ago? You readily agreed, but now you’re going back on your word.”

Liu Haizhong roared angrily.

This shout caused the workers in the adjacent workshop to stop what they were doing.

It's only Monday, and there's already such explosive gossip. How can we not eat it?

The work at hand is nothing compared to the pleasure of eating melons!

Liu Guangqi also asked and quickly ran over.

"Dad, what are you doing in the section chief's office? Aren't you ashamed? We can talk about this later. Go back and finish your work first, and we'll talk about it tonight."

Liu Guangqi was afraid that his muddle-headed father would make things worse.

Bribing superiors is already a serious matter.

If this were said in public, the two sides would be at odds.

Neither party will benefit if the section chief denies receiving any gifts.

If I don't have any evidence, I might end up being accused of slandering the section chief, and in the end, I'll be the one who suffers.

"No, this matter must be made clear here. Either you return the money, or my son can take the position of section chief."

Liu Haizhong roared angrily, completely disregarding the current situation.

"What are you doing here? Making a racket so early in the morning instead of working, what kind of behavior is this?"

Upon hearing the roar, Director Yang rushed over and, upon seeing the scene, his tone was quite cold.

“Secretary Yang, please stand up for us, father and son. This guy took the gifts but did nothing, treating us like monkeys. I can’t stand it.”

Liu Haizhong burst into tears, his face full of grievance.

"Xiao Wang, did you receive a gift? (Yes, yes)"

Factory Director Yang gave him a wink, and Section Chief Wang immediately understood.

“Let me tell you, Lao Liu, we’re all from the same factory, so I’m giving you some face. If you keep going like this, I’ll call the security department. This is framing me. I haven’t taken a single penny from your family, Lao Liu.”

Section Chief Wang said coldly.

"You, you..."

Liu Haizhong couldn't catch his breath.

He suddenly collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth, which terrified those around him.

Factory Director Yang immediately contacted the hospital and rushed Liu Haizhong to the hospital.

……

Inside the office.

"Tell me, what kind of things have you done? If this matter is investigated, do you think you can escape responsibility?"

Factory Director Yang reprimanded him with dissatisfaction.

"I had already agreed with Liu Guangqi that I was just helping him out, but it wasn't a done deal. Who knew that Liu Haizhong would suddenly become like he'd had a seizure?"

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Li Huaide Adds Insult to Injury

Section Chief Wang also looked helpless.

Unexpectedly, this guy with bangs actually said such a thing in the office in public.

It's fair to say that Liu Haizhong really has no brains; he shouldn't have agreed to Liu Guangqi's request in the first place.

He only paid fifty yuan and gave me a few things for this trivial matter, but the whole workshop next door knew about it.

If you follow this pattern, you will inevitably be implicated.

Fortunately, his superior was Director Yang, but Director Yang was not responsible for this matter.

The only people who were assigned the position of section chief were myself and Factory Director Li Huaide.

Factory Director Li and Factory Director Yang have always been at odds, and he hadn't even mentioned this matter yet.

Who knew that early that morning, the broadcast had already announced that the position of section chief had been given to Xu Damao.

I was originally planning to explain things to Liu Guangqi and the others privately and make some compensation later.

But who knew that Liu Haizhongxin seemed to have fallen ill, rushing straight to her office.

Now things have escalated to this point.

It's impossible to avoid being implicated.

Despite the major incident at the factory, Li Huaide still made an appearance.

Seeing Director Yang and Section Chief Wang, Li Huaide had already made up his mind.

This is a golden opportunity to kick 393 while he's down.

Section Chief Wang definitely accepted a gift; he's one of Director Yang's subordinates.

If we could remove Director Yang's right-hand man again, that would be the best thing ever.

Accepting gifts is a very serious offense.

Even the lightest punishment would require them to spend a year and a half renovating the greenhouse.

After a year or two, it's hard to say whether they'll be able to adapt to the current society.
