The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said next, the so-called Old Wang's expression suddenly changed.

You need to know who Cao Wei is. He's practically a living devil within the organization.

They'd start a fight at the drop of a hat, and their fighting prowess was truly frightening.

Before this, he certainly wouldn't have been willing to go to Cao Wei's door for this, since he might say something wrong.

It's not only embarrassing to be attacked in public, but I also can't beat them.

However, Old Wang was somewhat tempted at the moment, and the reason for this was quite simple.

I am currently an administrator appointed by the neighborhood committee.

In this situation, whether it was out of consideration for his reputation or because of his status, he felt he couldn't refuse the other party.

Firstly, it was about saving face, and secondly, it was about his status. In the end, Old Wang gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, then I'll go over and mediate for you."

Upon hearing this, the Jia family mother and son couldn't help but light up.

As for why neither of them went to Yi Zhonghai?

The reason is simple: Yi Zhonghai has suffered countless setbacks at Cao Wei's hands.

And it has just been revealed that he, like Jia Dongxu, has a criminal record.

In this situation, the mother and son were not stupid. They knew very well that if they asked Yi Zhonghai to come to their door, he would most likely just keep harping on this point.

It would be better to try letting Old Wang, the newly appointed administrator of this compound, give it a shot.

So, the Jia family mother and son followed Old Wang to Cao Wei's gate again.

Cao Wei, having just finished eating, was looking at the book he had borrowed.

There's nothing he can do; even if he's a time traveler, there are only so many ways to de-stress in this era.

He was puzzled when he heard the door suddenly slam open again.

That's right, didn't I just beat up those two mothers and children?

It wasn't until he subconsciously activated his spiritual eyes that he discovered the person standing first in front of the Jia family mother and son was Old Wang, the newly appointed so-called administrator.

In this compound, or more precisely, in the steel rolling mill, he was among the most senior junior workers.

Upon seeing the other party appear at his door, and considering the Jia family mother and son behind them, he instantly realized why they had come. He sneered and muttered something under his breath.

"I was just bored, and you guys delivered yourself right to my doorstep."

As he spoke, Cao Wei stood up and opened the door.

Old Wang, on his way here, had gradually relaxed a lot of his tension.

He figured that since he was ultimately an administrator, the other party wouldn't dare to attack him in public.

So after coughing, Old Wang subconsciously adopted that official tone when facing Cao Wei.

"Xiao Cao, I heard you had another little conflict with the Jia family. You could have come to me about it. After all, the neighborhood committee just appointed me as an administrator, right?"

As he spoke, Old Wang shouted, and many of his beastly neighbors who had poked their heads out echoed him.

"That's right, after all, he was just appointed by the neighborhood committee."

"We can't just resort to violence for everything, can we?"

"Exactly, otherwise people would think this is a bandit's den."

Old Wang, seeing this, also wore a smug look on his face. However, Cao Wei remained quite calm.

He had long since learned his lesson about these beastly neighbors.

He's eager for everyone to be happy; he's a complete opportunist.

In addition, since the other party had just become an administrator, although his essence or power had been weakened by him, his influence was still there. He couldn't be foolish enough to take action directly, so he couldn't help but ask a question in return.

"Are you sure you want me to just say these things directly? It's not really convenient, Lao Wang."

The moment the words left his mouth, Old Wang's face darkened. He wasn't stupid; he realized Cao Wei was deliberately insulting him, so he coughed and spoke solemnly.

"When at work, please address me by my title; I will call me Administrator Wang."

"Yes, Wang."

Meanwhile, if we're talking about what's most coveted right now, it's undoubtedly the bangs.

The way Old Wang was acting, claiming to be an administrator, and the way he was putting on his face, was exactly what he could have had and what he desperately wanted.

But now, it has become the other party's.

That was his lifelong dream of becoming an official.

Thinking of this, he glared intently at Cao Wei.

However, there is still one person who hopes the Jia family will suffer a setback.

And this person is none other than Yi Zhonghai.

Indeed, in Yi Zhonghai's view, why did the Jia family mother and son go to this so-called Administrator Wang instead of him when they had something to do?

Isn't this a betrayal of him?

Under such circumstances, he naturally hoped that Old Wang would suffer a setback.

He felt that only in this way could the Jia family recognize who the real power behind the courtyard was, or rather, who had the authority to speak up, completely forgetting his current criminal record.

Seeing that Cao Wei was putting on this act again, but not daring to get really angry or take action, Old Wang could only threaten him in a deep voice.

"Comrade Xiao Cao, as the administrator appointed by the street office, I cannot allow anyone in the compound to fight so easily. Otherwise, what's the point of my position as administrator?"

"Does the neighborhood committee, or the residents, really want someone who can beat people up at will within the compound?"

This compliment made Cao Wei look at the other person with newfound respect.

Good heavens, it turns out that these beasts in the courtyard are quite adept at using moral blackmail.

However, Cao Wei wouldn't let himself be at a disadvantage in the public opinion arena. Instead, he calmly and slowly began to speak:

"Let me clarify, I wasn't beating up people. They were some shady characters with criminal records. How can you compare them to us, who have no criminal record?"

Upon hearing this, those beastly neighbors seemed to start thinking for a moment.

Yes, although they couldn't stand Cao Wei's smugness, they also didn't want to be equated with the Jia family members who had criminal records.

Seeing that his beastly neighbors had started to think, Old Wang panicked.

He knew very well that his position as administrator relied solely on the power granted by the neighborhood committee and the so-called support of the masses.

On his first day as an administrator, he could only continue speaking with a stiff neck, for the sake of saving face.

"So you mean that having a criminal record means you're not worthy of being called a human being? Or that you're like the slaves of the old society, forever inferior?"

This can hardly be considered a compliment; rather, it was a forced attempt to pin the blame for counter-revolution on Cao Wei, which finally made Cao Wei abandon his underestimation of Cao Wei.

"Heh, if you insist on asking, I can tell you what happened. They did pay me a sum of money to sign the letter of understanding. But just like the people from the neighborhood committee said, I seriously injured you, paid medical expenses, and then I don't have to go to jail?"

"I'd like to ask, are you more remarkable, or are the people in the neighborhood committee more remarkable?"
