Pursued by the Heavenly Dao, first level up in the courtyard.

After Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua went back to their rooms to sleep, Yi Zhonghai, Tan Guilan, and Qin Huairu were still chatting and drinking.

A dozen minutes later, the drunk Tan Guilan was taken to the bedroom by Yi Zhonghai.

Back in the living room, Yi Zhonghai continued to eat and drink with Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai, who had long been eyeing Qin Huairu, kept getting closer to her.

Half-drunk and half-awake, Qin Huairu, with mixed feelings, chose to comply.

Refusing Yi Zhonghai? Tan Guilan might not help her take care of the child, and Yi Zhonghai would cause her trouble at the factory.

Tan Guilan promised Yi Zhonghai that she would take care of his children, and that Yi Zhonghai's house and money would all belong to her in the future.

The two, each with their own agendas, got entangled in a complicated relationship.

Qi Bing spent several hours writing a proposal to clean up the corrupt officials, based on information gathered by the Comprehensive Management Bureau.

Liu Haizhong in the courtyard is simply a power-hungry official, not a power-obsessed devil.

According to his definition, only those who resort to any means to become officials and get promoted can be considered "official demons".

Those who neither run errands nor give gifts will be demoted; those who only run errands but don't give gifts will remain in the same place; those who both run errands and give gifts will be promoted and given important responsibilities.

In some areas of northern China, the practice of gift-giving is rampant. Some people accept gifts but do nothing, while others accept gifts and do something.

For the Xia Kingdom, corrupt officials are like festering sores; if they are not thoroughly eradicated, the consequences will be endless.

The following morning, Qi Bing submitted an investigation report, criticizing the practice of offering gifts to secure official positions and suggesting the elimination of corrupt officials.

With the support of many elders, the Comprehensive Management Bureau, together with Xia Jun, Xia Jing, and Xia An, began to take action.

Those who offer lavish gifts will be arrested, those who accept lavish gifts will be arrested... those who occupy positions without doing their jobs will also be arrested.

Zhang Qingquan of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill was arrested for occupying his position without doing his job.

Li Huaide was not found to have any problems, and since he was not arrested this time, he was promoted from factory director to party secretary.

Lin Fan and Ye Qiu were lucky; because of the Comprehensive Management Bureau's actions, they were both promoted from deputy factory directors to factory directors.

Ye Qiu and Lin Fan are young and have short tenures, but their contributions are more than enough.

Li Huaide became the Party Secretary, Ye Qiu became the Factory Director, Nie Dayong became the First Deputy Factory Director... Liu Haizhong, who had many disciples and followers, was promoted to Deputy Factory Director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill by virtue of his vote advantage.

Qi Bing, who had watched the TV series "Siheyuan", knew that Liu Lan and Li Huaide had an affair, but Li Huaide was too low-ranking to him, so he didn't have anyone specifically investigate Li Huaide, which allowed Li Huaide to escape punishment.

Perhaps he changed the plot; in this world, Li Huaide never embezzled a single penny.

The affair between Li Huaide and Liu Lan was consensual, making it difficult to find evidence.

It's impossible for Qi Bing to send someone to keep an eye on Li Huaide and catch him in the act just for the sake of him.

......

The motorcycles issued by the factory were taken back, and Liu Haizhong, who was promoted to deputy factory director, received a pickup truck.

When Yan Bugui saw Liu Haizhong returning in Ye Qiu's pickup truck, he couldn't help but ask, "Old Liu, where's your motorcycle?"

Ye Qiu laughed and said, "Third Uncle, Second Uncle has become the deputy factory director, and the factory has confiscated his motorcycle."

Yan Bugui asked incredulously, "Old Liu, you've become the deputy factory director?"

Liu Haizhong said excitedly, "Old Yan, I never thought I would become the deputy factory director."

Yan Bugui asked in confusion, "Old Liu, you've become the deputy factory director, why did you confiscate your motorcycle?"

Liu Haizhong explained, "The motorcycle was provided by the factory. I got promoted, and the factory provided me with a pickup truck. But I can't drive and I don't have a driver's license, so the vehicle can only be temporarily left at the factory."

A few minutes later, He Yuzhu and Liu Yuhua returned on their bicycles.

Yan Bugui asked, "Zhuzi, you look so happy, did something good happen?"

Liu Yuhua said, "Uncle, my brother Zhu has become the deputy director of the canteen."

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment: "Zhu Zi, you've become the deputy director of the cafeteria?"

He Yuzhu said irritably, "Uncle, can't I be the deputy director of the cafeteria?"

Xu Damao sneered, "Shazhu, you're just a canteen deputy director, and you're only doing it as a temporary position. I'd be the head of the propaganda department a long time ago."

Zhang Qingquan's arrest led to many people at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill being promoted.

Ye Qiu, who had a good relationship with He Yuzhu, suggested that He Yuzhu be appointed as the deputy director of the canteen, and Li Huaide, Nie Dayong and others all agreed.

Tang Ze, the canteen director, is facing retirement, while He Yuzhu, who has excellent cooking skills, will likely be promoted to canteen director next year if nothing unexpected happens.

Lin Fan is Ye Qiu's ally. Lin Fan will get married to He Yushui next year. He Yuzhu is He Yushui's brother. When the factory was discussing the selection of the deputy director of the canteen, Ye Qiu suggested that He Yuzhu take the position.

After marrying Liu Yuhua and having children, He Yuzhu's personality changed a lot, and he argued with people much less.

Yi Zhonghai returned on his bicycle with a gloomy face and a sour feeling in his heart.

Liu Haizhong, who was originally inferior to him, first became an eighth-level forging worker, then the deputy director of the forging workshop, then the director of the forging workshop, and now he has become the deputy factory director.

Xu Damao, who is good with words, became the deputy head and head of the publicity department through a work-to-work system, and is now the head of the publicity department with an administrative position.

He Yuzhu, who used to be outspoken and often offended people, is now the deputy director of the canteen, working in lieu of a managerial position.

Qi Bing, who lives in the east courtyard, is an engineer at Beicheng Steel Group.

Ye Qiu, who lives in the west wing of the front yard, is now the factory director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Lin Fan, who lived in the backyard, became the director of the second steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai secretly calculated that there were already six people in the institute who were better than him.

Including Qi Bing's parents-in-law, there are at least eight people in the yard who earn more than him, a seventh-grade fitter.

Today, the courtyard house has a total of four pickup trucks, two motorcycles, and more than twenty bicycles.

Although Yi Zhonghai also had a bicycle, there were too many bicycles in the yard.

Since the purchase of bicycles, which no longer requires a bicycle ticket and only costs one hundred yuan, many people in the compound have bought bicycles.

Many people used to want to buy bicycles, but now people with a little money want to buy motorcycles or tricycles.

With the increase in motorcycle and tricycle production, there is a large demand for motorcycles and tricycles.

The five coal chemical plants can produce a large amount of fuel every day, making refueling convenient and inexpensive.

There aren't many people buying motorcycles in Chongqing, but the number of people buying electric bicycles is increasing rapidly.

The employees of Yucheng Industrial Group have high salaries and good benefits, and are able to buy electric bicycles.

Electric vehicles equipped with alloy batteries have a capacity of 10 kilowatt-hours and a theoretical range of 350 kilometers.

There were so many outstanding people in the courtyard that Yi Zhonghai, a level seven fitter, became quite ordinary.

Yi Zhonghai knew very well that he no longer had the ability to cause trouble in the courtyard or the factory.

Liu Haizhong alone was enough to overwhelm him, not to mention Lin Fan, Ye Qiu, and Xu Damao were also in the courtyard.

Qi Bing, from the East Wing, hadn't attended the entire practicum for several years. He didn't have much contact with the people in the practicum, at most exchanging greetings and a few words when they met at the main gate.

Aside from feeling envious and jealous of Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, and others, Yi Zhonghai was fairly satisfied with his current life.

He had Qin Huairu to care for him in his old age, Bang Geng to see him off in his final days, and he could even occasionally spar with Qin Huairu, which was already very good for him.

After achieving a triple kill, Yi Zhonghai wanted to get a quadruple, penta, and hexakill, but he gave up due to the limited opportunities and high risks.

The time he killed He Daqing, He Daqing was drunk.

He killed Jia Dongxu, who was his apprentice and worked in the same workshop.

He killed Zhang Cuihua because she was caught off guard.

Liu Haizhong is physically stronger than him; if he doesn't die from a single blow, he's finished.

Lin Fan and Ye Qiu didn't look like easy opponents, and Yi Zhonghai wasn't confident he could take them down.

Pay someone to do it? Not only does he lack the connections, but even if he could find someone, he'd be worried about being caught.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was already the end of October.

"Congratulations on becoming a level 20 human."

The system's pleasant and melodious voice rang in Qi Bing's mind.

With that thought in mind, he immediately entered the Xuanhuang World and stepped into the Human Path Xuanhuang Tower.
