Courtyard house: Just the right amount of pressure, leaving you bewildered but not brain-damaged.

The more Yi Zhonghai thought about it, the more he felt that Jia Zhangshi's idea was absolutely brilliant.

"Sister-in-law, could you get some dirt and help Dongxu clean the house? I need to think about it."

Yi Zhonghai threw the broom on the ground, ignoring everything else, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and began to think frantically.

There are many things where the higher-ups have policies and the lower-downs have countermeasures.

The neighborhood committee and street office carried out the three inspection methods required by the Patriotic Health Campaign Committee in a serious manner, while the selected resident groups could only accept their bad luck.

The other two methods, mutual inspection within groups and cross-checking, are basically just formalities.

We're all neighbors living in the same alley and courtyard. Who would dare to wield their power like a tiger? If you ruin your reputation, you won't be able to find anyone to help you when you need it in the future.

But if it were aimed at Gao Xiaosheng, it would be perfect.

First and foremost, we must firmly establish ourselves on the principle of "reason".

A policy is a policy; it's clearly and plainly written in the documents, and Gao Xiaosheng can't shirk his responsibility even if he wants to.

It's also very easy to nitpick and cause trouble.

Let alone bachelors, even men with wives can't clean every day, let alone crawl under the bed to wipe dust.

However, Gao Xiaosheng could not use this excuse to defend himself, because the neighborhood committee always emphasized in its publicity that no unsanitary corners should be left.

After finishing his cigarette, Yi Zhonghai felt refreshed and didn't care that his apprentice Jia Dongxu had been locked up in the detention room.

This time, he must use the tiger's skin as a banner to give Gao Xiaosheng, this troublemaker, a good beating.

After leaning against the wall for half an hour, Yi Zhonghai thought through every detail and finally came up with a meticulous action plan.

Yi Zhonghai called it the "dog leash" plan.

Just like the hygiene evaluation, this dog leash also needs to be made a long-term, normalized practice, and worn around Gao Xiaosheng's neck for ten or eight years.

"Dongxu, are you full? You stay here and rest. Your mother is going home. Your master will bring you breakfast and lunch tomorrow."

Inside the detention cell, Jia Zhangshi not only swept the floor, collected the urine-smelling dirt into a winnowing basket, and threw it outside the factory, but also watched her son, Jia Dongxu, eat the food he had brought clean.

"Mom, please ask Master to help me get out of here quickly. The security department said they're going to lock me up for seven days or half a month."

After Jia Dongxu finished eating and drinking, he glanced at Li Shuguo, who was guarding the door, and whispered.

"Yes, son, don't worry, your master will definitely help. We'll also ruin Gao Xiaosheng's reputation so he'll never be able to hold his head up again."

Jia Zhangshi had triangular eyes and a sinister look on her face.

There are some things that need to be handled by Yi Zhonghai, and there are others that she plans to discuss with Wu Guizhen, Li Caiyun, and Yang Ruihua tomorrow.

We must use a two-pronged approach to ensure that Gao Xiaosheng is cast into the deepest abyss and never rise again.

Li Shuguo looked at Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi as they walked out of the factory gate, his face full of doubt.

Are these two really Jia Dongxu's biological mother and mentor?

It doesn't seem like it.

When a son steals and is locked up in a detention cell, a mother should at least show some sadness, if not cry a few times. But Jia Zhangshi's face, besides being gloomy, seemed to be a little excited.

Yi Zhonghai was even more outrageous; he showed no grief whatsoever, but instead appeared relaxed, as if he had eaten a bowl of shaved ice on a hot day—refreshing and exhilarating.

Were these sons and apprentices picked up from a trash can?

The next morning, Gao Xiaosheng overslept again.

Since winning the bicycle, he originally wanted to take Sun Youtian to work with him, but he was worried about causing a rift and resentment, so he had to put it aside for the time being and wait until Sun Youtian had fully passed the test and become a grasshopper tied to him on the same rope.

Without Sun Youtian's "wake-up" service, Gao Xiaosheng's biological clock automatically slows down by a few minutes every day.

When I opened my eyes this morning, it was already 7:40, only 20 minutes before my 8:00 work start time.

As always, he sprang up with the agility of a carp, quickly dressed and washed up, carried his bicycle and strode out of the courtyard gate, a large steamed bun still dangling from his mouth.

He swallowed the food in a few bites, his legs felt like they were on fire, and he pedaled furiously, finally catching up with Yi Zhonghai and his group at Dongzhimen.

"snort."

As Gao Xiaosheng passed by Yi Zhonghai, he didn't slow down at all, but he still heard a clear cold snort.

Gao Xiaosheng silently made a mental note, determined not to let him get a chance, otherwise Yi Zhonghai would have to be slapped hard.

Anyway, this old man is sensible and knows when to advance and retreat, so he is unlikely to make the same mistake repeatedly and has plenty of time to recover.

Of course, that's not all. Although there's no chance to collect the principal now, you can still get the interest.

It's reasonable for the apprentice to take responsibility when the master makes a mistake, right?

Regardless of whether Jia Dongxu's face has gone down in swelling, he has to find an opportunity to slap him a few more times today. He can be gentle, but he has to complete the process.

The familiar detention cell, the familiar scene.

Gao Xiaosheng, Li Shuguo, and Jia Dongxu are in the exact same positions as yesterday.

Jia Dongxu looked up at Gao Xiaosheng standing beside him and Li Shuguo sitting opposite him, his eyes filled with fear.

"After a night, have you thought about what else you need to say?" Li Shuguo asked directly, getting straight to the point.

In his opinion, there was no need to continue the interrogation; keeping him locked up would suffice.

Last night he worked through the night to organize the interrogation records and handed them over to Section Chief Zhou. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the working group should be able to come up with a decision today.

Post it at the factory gate before you leave work tomorrow, and let Jia Dongxu out while you're at it. That'll be a perfect job.

But Gao Xiaosheng insisted on causing trouble, so Li Shuguo had no choice but to cooperate. After all, he was the underling, and the title "Brother Sheng" wasn't given lightly.

Yes, yes.

Jia Dongxu didn't waste a second and nodded repeatedly.

"I exposed, I reported, I accused the workers in the steel rolling mill of stealing factory waste."

"There were Sanqiang, Erlaizi, and Lao Xu. I don't know their real names, but I remember what they looked like."

"Officer Li, if you only detain me for a few days less, I promise I'll identify them all."

Li Shuguo frowned more and more deeply, and looked up at Gao Xiaosheng.

He said to leave Jia Dongxu out of the loop, but now look what's happened, they're going to make things worse.

Gao Xiaosheng gave him a look that said, "Take it easy."

"Slap slap slap"

Three slaps in a row interrupted Jia Dongxu's "surrender and denunciation".

"What are you doing!" Jia Dongxu looked at Gao Xiaosheng with a sob in his voice, "I already told you, and you still hit me."

"Nonsense, I'm here to beat you up!" Gao Xiaosheng stood in front of Jia Dongxu, looking down at him with an imposing aura.

"You're still reporting me? Don't you want to stay in the factory anymore?"

"Since we're neighbors, here's a piece of advice: keep your mouth shut, don't say a word, and just bear it all yourself."

"The security department might detain you for a few days at most, but if you anger everyone, not only your master, but the entire hospital won't be able to save your life."

Gao Xiaosheng's few words calmed Jia Dongxu down.

"What? You won't even say thank you?" Gao Xiaosheng raised an eyebrow.

"Th-thank you."
