A courtyard house, equipped with a fishing system, living in an era.

Xu Pingan stopped paying attention to the aftermath of the matter between the Yi and He families.

Once it's confirmed that Yi Zhonghai has been taken away by the institute, that's all that matters...

At this point, his future and prestige were practically over.

Even if he could persuade Sha Zhu not to pursue the matter and provide sufficient compensation, this matter would still follow him in his file for life.

Of course, if he can find someone of high enough influence to speak up for him, then it's as if Xu Ping'an said nothing.

Having returned from the information age, Xu Pingan only realized one truth.

That's when you have connections in high places; things really go smoothly...

Moreover, they can handle most things in this world...

Xu Pingan simply didn't believe Yi Zhonghai could do it!

If he could do that, why would he still be clinging to the position of a resident liaison officer?

It took about half a month for Yi Zhonghai to be released from the detention center.

According to Xu Damao's information, Yi Zhonghai not only returned the 380 million yuan that he had entrusted to him, but also took 760 million yuan as He Yushui's future dowry...

Losing money is a minor matter; his resident liaison officer was dismissed less than 20 seconds after taking office!

In addition to dismissing him, a note was added to his file stating that he had wicked intentions...

This record doesn't seem to have any major problems now, but if things start to get a little turbulent, Yi Zhonghai won't be able to withstand it in the future.

Even more serious was the punishment he received from the steel rolling mill.

According to Director Yang, the plan is to fire Yi Zhonghai directly!

After all, a mere level three fitter isn't exactly a rare talent...

Keeping this kind of person around is just a disgrace to the factory.

At the crucial moment, it was the deaf old lady who stepped in again...

She went to the factory and said something to Yang Duchuan, and at least the factory withdrew its order!

The punishment has been changed to a demerit, and the individual will be barred from participating in the worker-level assessment for three years!

"I heard that the punishment in the detention center was also negotiated by the deaf old lady... What do you think her background is?"

"No connections whatsoever! At most, they have a little influence..."

Xu Ping'an comes from the information age and has heard too many stories of people accidentally entering the imperial palace!

If someone really had some connections, they wouldn't be bothered with anything beyond the small amount of money that Tan Sha Zhu had...

Although both units opted for lenient punishment, they were not exempted from punishment after all!

This is probably also related to Yi Zhonghai's active cooperation and willingness to accept punishment!

Of course, that has nothing to do with Xu Ping'an.

Xu Pingan felt no psychological burden whatsoever!

After all, it wasn't him who forced Yi Zhonghai to embezzle that little bit of money.

It was not Xu Pingan who instructed Yi Zhonghai to intercept the siblings' letters without permission...

Since none of this concerns him, then he is simply eliminating evil and upholding justice...

Perhaps it was Yi Zhonghai's affair that scared Xiao Chen.

Surprisingly, No. 95 Courtyard did not have any resident liaison officers assigned to the outside world.

Chen Hui rolled up his sleeves, indicating that he would handle things himself if necessary.

After all, based on Chen Hui's investigation of the candidates, almost no one in Courtyard No. 95 was still qualified.

The reason Yi Zhonghai was chosen was because he was the best among the short ones.

Yan Bugui, who lives in the front yard, not only has a bad family background, but he's also incredibly stingy.

If he's chosen to take the position, and he doesn't get enough of the benefits, he'll end up slapping Chen Hui in the face.

And Liu Haizhong in the backyard goes without saying.

He was quite skilled at teaching his apprentices, but he would either beat or scold them...

When they visited the steel rolling mill, they were told that they initially intended to make him the deputy director of the workshop, but after seeing his appearance, the factory leaders did not dare to promote him.

Chen Hui also considered having a talk with Xu Fugui.

When they tried to contact the other party twice, they were both out showing movies in the countryside.

Upon seeing the nature of the job, Chen Hui knew that contacting the other party was pointless.

In fact, Chen Hui had also considered Xu Ping'an.

After all, the fact that he was able to become the canteen supervisor in the factory meant that he was both highly capable and had a wide network of connections.

The only problem is that the other person doesn't know many characters...

Yes, I don't know many characters!

Xu Pingan is now also starting to cultivate a new persona for himself.

A persona of striving to learn and make progress!

It was Xu Pingan who suggested that Chen Hui take on a part-time job.

If Chen Hui manages to secure this position, then when Xu Ping'an makes his triumphant return in the future, won't he also be able to act as the head of the household?

In the future, I will marry an 18-year-old girl to be a "grandma" for the old men and women in the courtyard.

Just thinking about it is exciting!

……

Xu Ping'an's improved culinary skills made him even more comfortable in the steel rolling mill.

As March arrived, the steel rolling mill finally underwent its first expansion.

Instead of recruiting externally, they directly merged with the factory in Sichuan.

Their factory leaders even came to the steel rolling mill for a few days before the Lunar New Year.

"Chef Xu, it hasn't been that long since we last met, but I feel like your cooking skills have improved a lot!"

The speaker was named Wang Xiu. He wore black-rimmed glasses and looked very refined.

He himself came from a technical background, and after the merger, he became the second-in-command of the technical department.

To be honest, he was very dissatisfied with this position.

But circumstances are beyond our control...

Which of those who rise to high positions in the capital doesn't have a powerful backer behind them?

Wang Xiu actually had a strong background, namely his teachers and classmates...

It's a pity that all his knowledge and experience remained in Sichuan.

His classmates also suggested that he submit a report and stay in his hometown.

Wang Xiu still wanted to give it a shot; he came from a technical background and then moved into a management position.

If you don't have the ambition to climb the ladder, what kind of manager are you?

When you first arrive in this precious place, most people will not easily offend anyone.

This is why Wang Xiu and Xu Ping'an had a decent relationship last time.

To be precise, this person doesn't have much of a stance and gets along well with everyone!

With Li Huaide, with Yang Duchuan...

If it weren't for this reason, his position could probably have been promoted even further.

After all, as Lu Xun said: "Being good with anyone is the same as being bad with no one!"

Even someone like Xu Ping'an, who doesn't offend anyone, has to do whatever task his superiors assign him.

However, he also clearly expressed his intention to align himself with Li Huaide.

There's no other reason; it's just that Yang Duchuan is a complicated person.

He kept ordering Xu Pingan around, taking it all for granted, and never giving him any benefits...

After the New Year, Xu Pingan had already prepared two or three meals for him as a guest.

Not to mention the work at the factory, I even went out to cook a meal for him.

But Old Yang acted as if it were his due, completely ignorant!

Old Yang ordered him around too much, and Old Li got unhappy.

Xu Pingan had no choice but to consider all factors and decided to openly vote for Lao Li!

After all, the other party is now a promising young man full of enthusiasm to serve his country...

Even though he had sided with Lao Li, Lao Yang still ordered him around, and Xu Ping'an still couldn't shirk his responsibilities, but at least he could avoid arousing Lao Li's suspicion...

Working in a factory like this, if you can't get along with your direct supervisor, that could really be a nightmare!

Xu Pingan didn't just use all his time for flattery during this period.

He did indeed do some practical things.

"Peaceful arrival? Your factory isn't busy today?"

"If the factory is busy, how can I come and help?"

Zhou Yan gets angry when this topic comes up.

"How do you suggest I help? Just quit that lousy job and come work in the kitchen of our Fifth Hospital. I'll pay you a level six salary..."

Xu Pingan didn't pay any attention, put down his things and started working.

After the New Year, through his unremitting efforts, he finally made a complete connection with the Fifth Hospital.

Xu Pingan definitely doesn't want to change jobs.

Don't be fooled by Zhou Yan's boastful words; he doesn't act like he can just casually set salaries.

In fact, if Xu Ping'an had listened to him and resigned from his job at the steel rolling mill, then the subsequent events would have been out of his control.

Besides, the hospital sector is poised for explosive growth in the future. If you're not physically strong, you could easily catch a cold here, or even freeze to death!

In this day and age, nothing beats being a big brother in a factory.

"I heard there are new wounded soldiers arriving. Is there anything I can cook for you?"

Xu Pingan wasn't worried about offending anyone by asking directly.

After all, if there were truly secret agents, Xu Ping'an, who hadn't specifically inquired, wouldn't know the specifics.

There were no confidentiality requirements for anything Xu Pingan was allowed to know...

"It's not important, just focus on making the sauerkraut fish!"

"Okay!"

Actually, the fish for the sauerkraut fish was brought by Xu Ping'an himself...

P.S.: I went to Jiuhua Mountain yesterday, and I'm still working on another chapter.
