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

The fact that Qi Bing took over the Comprehensive Management Bureau was known to fewer than fifty people, excluding the bureau's top brass.

In the courtyard at No. 95, not a single person knew that he worked at the Comprehensive Management Bureau.

The retirement group didn't cause him any trouble. In order to absorb the power of destiny and upgrade their own human race level, Qi Bing didn't take action against the retirement group.

Qi Bing spends his mornings reading in the library of Tsinghua University and his afternoons cultivating the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Technique in the East Courtyard. He uses his magic power to clear blocked meridians and acupoints. In his spare time each day, he goes to the Profound Yellow World to research, manufacture, and test various equipment.

At 8 PM, at the Jia family residence in the Intermediate People's Court.

Bang Geng was already asleep, and Zhang Cuihua, Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu were whispering to each other.

Jia Dongxu frowned and whispered, "Mom, Huai Ru, I've been working at Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill for seven years and I'm still only a first-class fitter. That old bastard Yi Zhonghai never really taught me fitter skills."

Zhang Cuihua whispered sternly, "Dongxu, keep your voice down. Don't let outsiders hear you. Yi Zhonghai is cunning and treacherous. If he hears us, we'll be in trouble, and you'll be in trouble too."

Qin Huairu chimed in, "Dongxu, Mom is right. We all know what Yi Zhonghai is up to. He wants you to depend on him forever and hopes you will take care of him in his old age."

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment: "I've been working in the factory for seven years. Everyone in the workshop calls me Jia Level 1. It sounds so harsh. With my Level 1 worker's salary, I can't even afford to eat."

Zhang Cuihua sighed and said helplessly, "There's no use in being anxious. We have to think of a way. We can't keep letting him lead us by the nose. It's too frustrating for us to continue like this."

Qin Huairu was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Mom, do you have an idea? Yi Zhonghai cares most about his retirement. If Dongxu doesn't provide for him, he'll definitely be furious!"

Jia Dongxu said, "Besides me, Yi Zhonghai's caretaker, there is also a backup, Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu is self-righteous and speaks recklessly, often offending people. Yi Zhonghai will not abandon me."

Zhang Cuihua came up with a plan and said with a smile, "Dongxu, go to the factory tomorrow and find Yi Zhonghai. Tell him you're not cut out to be a fitter. You've tried your best for the past seven years but haven't been promoted. Your family is struggling financially, and you want to change jobs."

Jia Dongxu was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Mom, do I really have to change jobs?"

Zhang Cuihua said, "Dongxu, this is a strategic retreat. Our family is already struggling financially, and you're the only one working. Your meager salary isn't enough, and you don't have any talent for metalworking. It's perfectly reasonable for you to switch to another job."

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up: "Dongxu, listen to your mother. If Yi Zhonghai agrees to let you change jobs, you can still give it a shot. If he doesn't agree, and you still have to support the family, he will definitely help us!"

Zhang Cuihua said smugly, "Dongxu, think about it. Yi Zhonghai schemed against you because he thought you were filial and would take care of him in his old age. If you change jobs, his scheme will fail."

Qin Huairu chimed in, "Dongxu, Mom is right. Just pretend you have no talent and are very helpless, and ask Yi Zhonghai for help to change jobs. He definitely won't agree to let you change jobs."

After thinking about it carefully, Jia Dongxu realized that this made sense.

If Yi Zhonghai doesn't increase his financial support for his family, it will be perfectly justifiable for him to change jobs to support them. If Yi Zhonghai increases his financial support, although he will still be a first-class fitter, his family's life will definitely be much better.

Qin Huairu instructed, "Dongxu, when you go to see him tomorrow, be sincere. Tell him that your salary is not enough, that you are not good at being a fitter, and that you want to change jobs to earn more money to support your family."

Zhang Cuihua said, "Dongxu, just tell me I eat too much, and your salary alone isn't enough to support me."

Jia Dongxu's feelings were complicated: "Mom, thank you for your hard work."

The next morning, after having breakfast, Jia Dongxu went to the steel rolling mill with Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu.

Around 9 a.m., Jia Dongxu finished processing a part and walked over to Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, I... I have something I'd like to tell you."

"Dongxu, what's wrong?"

"Master, I don't seem to have any talent for fitter work. I've been working in the factory for seven years and I'm still only a level one fitter."

"Dongxu, don't rush. You haven't had your epiphany yet. Once you do, your fitter skills will improve dramatically."

"Master, my monthly salary isn't enough to support my family. My mom eats a lot; she eats more by herself than Huai Ru and I combined. Bang Geng is still growing..."

"Dongxu, take these two dollars and buy some meat to nourish Banggeng."

"Master, I really don't have any talent for fitter work. If I continue like this, I'll still be a level one fitter in a few years. My mom told me to try a different trade, maybe I have talent for other trades."

Jia Dongxu's strategic retreat put Yi Zhonghai in a dilemma.

Should we agree to Jia Dongxu changing jobs? The carefully selected elderly person might very well fly away.

If Zhang Cuihua disagrees with Jia Dongxu changing jobs, she'll definitely cause him trouble.

To appear poor, Yi Zhonghai usually only had a few yuan on him.

"Dongxu, let's talk about this after get off work. Changing jobs isn't something you can just do whenever you want. If you could change jobs whenever you wanted, who would want to work in the boiler room or the loading and unloading team?"

"Master, I will listen to you."

Yi Zhonghai, who had always been in control of others, was now being manipulated himself, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

......

"Elder, we investigated the story of Li Bapi and found that the location and the name of the person match up, but the real Li Bapi did not do those bad things as described in the story."

"Xiao Qi, what are your thoughts?"

"Authors who write stories about Li Bapi must publish a public apology. In addition, corresponding rules should be established to prohibit the creation of false stories related to real place names and people."

In the original novel, the male protagonist Zhang Wuji was fictional, and the novel vilified the Ming Taizu (Emperor Hongwu).

The real Ming Taizu (Emperor Hongwu) dedicated his life to the country and its people.

Condemning the Ming Taizu Emperor for killing meritorious officials? When meritorious officials become scoundrels who exploit and harm the people, should they be killed?

Perhaps in some people's eyes, the bad thing about the Ming Taizu was that he was too good to the people.

A dozen days later, Gao Dabao, who wrote the story of Li Bapi, publicly apologized to Li Bapi's family and offered compensation through the Daxia newspaper.

Gao Dabao has fallen from grace, from being a role model for countless young people, and has been condemned by many.

Fabricating baseless smears and glorifying real people without bearing any responsibility poses immeasurable hidden dangers.

In addition to the author of Li Bapi apologizing and paying compensation, the organization that printed and distributed Li Bapi's stories also received disciplinary action.

There are no real place names or people in the stories, and there is no content that would bring disaster to the country or the people, so you can make up whatever you want.

The sun rises above the earth, and it's a new day.

Instead of going to the library at Tsinghua University to read books, Qi Bing took his equipment and rode his bicycle to the river to fish.

The scheming between Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family is unfolding continuously.

Zhang Cuihua, Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu were furious with Yi Zhonghai, but they dared not offend him.

Yi Zhonghai is an old man in the compound, and also a level seven fitter at the steel rolling mill.

The Jia family dared not fall out with Yi Zhonghai, but in order to improve their lives, they increased the frequency of borrowing money.

Before the establishment of communes in the countryside, Qin Huairu, Zhang Cuihua, and Banggeng owned land in the countryside, so the Jia family was not short of food.

Zhang Cuihua frequently borrowed money from Yi Zhonghai under the pretext that Bang Geng was growing and needed extra nutrition.

Jia Dongxu often used the excuse that Qin Huairu was pregnant and needed to supplement her nutrition to borrow money from Yi Zhonghai.

The Jia family had many reasons for borrowing money, and Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to lend them money for his future retirement.

The hypocritical Yi Zhonghai wanted to find someone to support him in his old age, but he didn't want to make any sacrifices. He was unwilling to be continuously exploited by the Jia family. After racking his brains for a long time, he finally decided to have Sha Zhu help the Jia family.

Whether Sha Zhu can bring back a lunchbox is just a matter of a word from the factory leaders.
