Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

But she couldn't stand it after just two days. It was too boring. Even with the company of her two children, it was still very boring.

"Xiaoyu, tell me quickly, is there any explosive news?"

In the hospital, it is normal for any outrageous thing to happen.

"Indeed, there is something about Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai. According to my friend, Yi Zhonghai paid for all of Jia Zhang's hospitalization and surgery expenses. He even stayed with her every step of the way yesterday. The two of them seemed extremely affectionate, like a couple who have lived together for years."

Shen Yue and Chen Qian looked at each other, neither of them quite believed that this was referring to Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi.

You know, a few days ago, Yi Zhonghai made it clear in the yard that he would never have any improper thoughts about Jia Zhang even if he died.

Many people in the yard believed what Yi Zhonghai said, even Shen Yue and the others.

Chapter 268 Xu Damao’s opportunity?

It's not about Yi Zhonghai's character, but about Jia Zhang's character. How could anyone like Jia Zhang at this age?

If someone had said thirty years ago that Yi Zhonghai was interested in Jia Zhang, it would have been somewhat credible, but let's forget about it now.

Who wouldn’t feel disgusted after knowing what happened to Jia Zhang?

Jiang Yu seemed to know that this matter was hard to believe, and she immediately talked about other news she had heard to support her claim.

For example, Yi Zhonghai fed Jia Zhangshi, wiped her mouth, and took care of her going to the toilet. Late at night, Jia Zhangshi held Yi Zhonghai's hand and affectionately called him "Brother Hai." The look in their eyes was not like that between normal neighbors.

After some discussion among several people, they concluded that perhaps Yi Zhonghai did not have any concerns, but Jia Zhangshi should be a little restless.

Shen Yue thought about it and told Jiang Yu to find Xu Xin to share the news. After all, melons taste better when eaten by a group of people.

"By the way, find a way to get Xu Xin to stay at the Siheyuan at night."

Jiang Yu understood. Of course, this kind of news had to be told to Xu Damao. As the most entertaining person in the courtyard, Xu Damao could make the most of any news without wasting the slightest bit.

As for why they didn't just tell Jiang Fan to do it, Jiang Fan and Xu Damao had a closer relationship, so it was obviously more appropriate to let Jiang Fan do it.

That's because they are a family, and everyone has the responsibility to do something for the family. They can't leave everything to Jiang Fan.

On weekdays, Jiang Fan was the one who took care of any material needs at home. Now he has made Jia Zhang into this state. I think she must be very tired.

Jiang Fan: Me? No, I feel refreshed now! I'm incredibly strong!

Jiang Yu naturally agreed. She was very happy to see Jia Zhangshi's miserable appearance now, but she was very unhappy that she did not get involved in the affairs in between.

Qin Huairu found Jia Zhangshi and sat beside her bed without saying a word. She didn't want to argue with Jia Zhangshi anymore. It was meaningless. Unless she could beat Jia Zhangshi up, it would be difficult for her to release the depression in her heart.

Jia Zhang didn't want to talk to Qin Huairu any more. Her mind was now preoccupied with her "Brother Hai." Did Brother Hai eat? Was he tired from work? Did he drink any water? Was there some other vixen trying to seduce him?

A few days ago, she thought Yi Zhonghai was just an old, hopeless man, but now he has become her lover. It can only be said that Jia Zhangshi has fallen in love!

……

Inside the rolling mill.

Jiang Fan looked at the books and materials he had flipped through countless times, bored. His work had been quite leisurely for the past two years. When he was in school, besides accompanying his teacher to do translation work, he could also find foreign language books to read and translate for money.

Now he can only read various mechanical materials, and he can no longer read foreign language books. The relationship between Rabbit and Bear is not harmonious.

There is nothing wrong with reading in private, but you still need to be careful during working hours.

"Jiang Fan, Xu Damao is looking for you."

"coming."

Downstairs, Xu Damao told Jiang Fan that Deputy Director Li had called him today and had given him a personal mission: to bring the machine and show movies to others. Master Fan was also going to cook a meal.

"Then go ahead. Li Huaide wants to curry favor with the leadership, and maybe he also wants to get benefits for our factory."

"I don't care whether he gets welfare or not. Our family doesn't need that. I'm just wondering if I'll have a chance to show off this time."

Xu Damao looked at Jiang Fan and asked for his opinion.

"Show off? Don't do that! Damao, you have to understand that even though you have a high school diploma, you're just a worker, and you have the Lou family's connections behind you. Forget about climbing up the ladder. Just listen to me and your father-in-law and live a good life. Don't get involved in the affairs of that group, or else with our abilities, we'll die without even knowing how we died."

Jiang Fan advised. He knew Xu Damao saw an opportunity and wanted to move up, and he could understand. There might only be one chance in life to meet a noble person, and if you miss it, you might never have it again.

After hearing what Jiang Fan said, Xu Damao came to his senses. He had been praised too much by his colleagues in the Propaganda Department during this period, and for a moment he became a little too proud of himself.

Now that he has a wife and a son, and lives a happy life, there's no need to risk doing something like that again. Thinking things through, the heat in Xu Damao's eyes subsided. "Then I'll go over and play the movie properly. Which one should I play?"

"Da Mao, what movie do you think those people haven't seen?" Jiang Fan asked. There was a similar scene in the plot. However, the person who brought them there was Director Yang. Besides Xu Damao, there was also Sha Zhu, who was Sha Zhu's biggest supporter in the plot and provided him with a lot of help.

From this perspective, there is not much difference between Director Yang and Deputy Director Li. They both know how to please their superiors.

"Shh, yeah, the films we have in our studio aren't new. It's impossible for these people to have never seen them. But if they were freshly shot, I wouldn't be able to explain them."

Xu Damao frowned, he was a little confused.

Jiang Fan thought about it, but he didn't quite understand. He could gain an advantage in major historical events with his foresight, but he didn't know the specific plan for the confrontation.

His wisdom is enough to deal with the people in the courtyard, but he is not qualified to fight against the people above.

"Don't overthink it. If they ask you to show a movie, then just show it. Bring two movies you're most familiar with, and if they offer you to show them, then show them properly. Talk less, do less, and don't do anything else except showing the movie."

"Isn't Master Fan going too? He's lived to this age, and he's probably cooked for people many times before. Why don't you ask him if there's anything you should avoid? Learn from him carefully, because you'll probably have to do this kind of thing many times in the future."

Xu Damao nodded. For the first time, he felt that showing movies was not a good job.

"Okay, then I'll just be a tool to show the movie, and leave after the movie is over."

"Well, by the way, if you hear anything, write it down and we can analyze it when we get back."

Xu Damao gave Jiang Fan a confident smile to reassure him, then stood up and walked towards the cafeteria. He was going to study.

There was a loud bang!

A work accident occurred in the fitter workshop of the steel rolling mill.

"Jia Dongxu, what are you doing? Don't let yourself get killed. Can you concentrate on your work?"

After turning off the machine, the workshop director pointed at Jia Dongxu and started to scold him.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu looked like his soul had left his body. He was sweating profusely and his face was pale. He was really scared just now.

Others also ran over. The machine had not found the cause of the problem yet, so they couldn't start working rashly.

"Old Li, go get someone from the technical department. I'll notify the factory manager. Everyone else, get out and don't disrupt the scene. And keep an eye on Jia Dongxu!"

Chapter 269 Equipment Damage

The news of the accident in the fitter's workshop spread quickly. Although there have been few accidents and deaths in the years since the steel mill was established, there have been some.

The specific cause of the accident is unknown, but this did not stop everyone from passing on information. Some said someone's leg was crushed, some said a root was broken, and some said several people died, and so on.

Yi Zhonghai received the news not too late. Someone who knew his relationship with Jia Dongxu came to inform him specifically.

"Something happened in Yi Zhonghai's machinist workshop. It was Jia Dongxu who did it. Go check it out right away."

Hearing about the accident, Yi Zhonghai immediately thought of the people who died in accidents at the steel mill, and panicked. "An accident? What's wrong with Lao Wan? Is Dongxu okay?"

"He should be fine. Tell your leader to go check it out."

Yi Zhonghai said something to his colleagues in a panic and ran towards his previous workplace.

In the locksmith workshop, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li and other factory leaders came over.

All members of the technical department are checking inside to see if the problem is due to aging of the machine or operator error.

As Jiang Fan examined the situation, he wondered, "Could it be that Jia Dongxu's death is today? That's not right. Huaihua hasn't been reported yet. And with all the plot changes happening now, could Jia Dongxu still die from a work-related injury?"

During their inspection, the leaders outside the house also became aware of the specific situation.

"Director, Jia Dongxu seems a bit under the weather today. His level of work is completely out of character, and many of the parts he processed are defective. It's likely that he made an operational error that caused this major accident."

The workshop director was honest and impartial. Jia Dongxu's performance today wasn't great; he looked like he had something on his mind.

Director Yang and his team did not determine Jia Dongxu's responsibility based on these two sentences. Everything had to wait until the results of the technical department's inspection came out.

When Yi Zhonghai came over, the inspection was still in progress.

He didn't see Jia Dongxu, so he asked his familiar coworkers and found out that the security department had come and taken Jia Dongxu away.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and walked over to Director Yang. "Director, hello everyone. I'm Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu's master. Can I have a few words with him?"

Director Yang and the others looked at Yi Zhonghai and refused to agree. "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, we know you care about Jia Dongxu, but we can't let Jia Dongxu contact anyone before the results of the technical department's inspection come out."

This is also standard practice. If what happened to Jia Dongxu was an accident, then we can just follow the procedures and hold a meeting to discuss and determine responsibility. But if it was intentional, then a thorough investigation is necessary.

Since taking over the steel mill, they've uncovered several undercover agents. While none of them caused significant damage, in this kind of situation, it's better to kill a thousand innocent people than to let one go. If something were to go wrong, none of these leaders would be able to escape.

"But Director, Dongxu is a good kid."

"Yi Zhonghai, the factory director and his men will naturally take care of Jia Dongxu's affairs. Why are you here getting involved?"

The workshop director pulled Yi Zhonghai aside and whispered to him, "Why are you causing trouble now? You can just wait until the technical department's inspection results come out. Don't you know who Jia Dongxu is?"

This calmed Yi Zhonghai down. No matter how much he said, it was useless. He had to consult the technical department. Then, the workshop director asked Yi Zhonghai about Jia Dongxu and whether something had happened that made him absent-minded.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai silently lit a cigarette and started smoking. He carefully thought about what had happened in the past few days. Ever since Banggeng was bitten by a dog on the Lantern Festival, the Jia family has not had a single day of peace.

The main issue was the unspoken relationship between Jia Zhang and the public toilet. These past few days had been exhausting for both Jia Dongxu and him, leaving them with a headache. This morning, they discovered a large sum of money was missing, and Jia Dongxu was lucky he didn't faint from anger.

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's story about what Jia Dongxu had encountered in the past few days, the workshop director was also extremely surprised. "Jia Dongxu's luck is really bad. He has been involved in so many troubles."

In fact, according to the workshop director's idea, he thought that all this could be blamed on Jia Dongxu's mother, but this was someone else's family affair and he couldn't interfere.

While the two were chatting, Jiang Fan and the others also found the cause of the accident. There were two parts in the machine that were under too much pressure, and with a little bit of external force, they broke, resulting in this situation.

The external force was naturally caused by Jia Dongxu's improper operation.

After the test results came out, the gloom between Director Yang's brows was obviously much less.

The union president looked at Han Daguo and said, "So, even without Jia Dongxu's improper operation, these two parts would have broken down at any time?"

"It's fair to say that our machines weren't properly maintained, and the various parts weren't regularly replaced and inspected. It's not surprising that this happened."

The union president nodded and looked at Director Yang. "Director Yang, I think the main reason for this is still the equipment problem. Jia Dongxu's responsibility is not very large."

As the president of the union, he naturally stands on the side of the workers.

Director Yang is not stupid. Unless it can be found out that Jia Dongxu is a hidden spy, he really does not have any major responsibility for this matter.

"I think so, but it's also true that Jia Dongxu operated improperly. We still need to thoroughly investigate the specific reasons."

"Director Yang, there's no need to investigate. I know the reason."

Yi Zhonghai had been observing everything that was happening here, and immediately jumped out when he heard what Director Yang said.

Director Yang's face darkened, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Huaide speak.

"Comrade, please tell me. If you have good evidence and can prove that Comrade Jia Dongxu had a reason for this mistake, we will definitely give him a lighter sentence."

Yi Zhonghai burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Director Li, you are really a good leader to us."

Factory Director Yang's face darkened further, "This Yi Zhonghai is simply a Lu Bu!"

Then, with Li Huaide's support, Yi Zhonghai recounted in detail what had happened in Jia Dongxu's family in the past few days.

He even used his limited wisdom and vocabulary to add a lot of tragic deeds for comparison, such as Dou E flying in the snow and Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall. In short, it was a tragedy.

The leaders and workers around were silent. They asked themselves if this happened to their own families, they would probably vomit three liters of blood on the spot.

Jia Dongxu actually managed to come to work, what a man!

It was the union's president, Su, who broke the silence first. His voice was so loud that almost everyone present could hear him. "I can't believe Comrade Jia Dongxu's family has encountered such a thing, and our union is completely unaware of it. It's truly dereliction of duty. Director Yang, I need to go have a good talk with Comrade Jia Dongxu and give him some advice. I'm leaving now."

President Su walked quickly towards the Security Department. How could he be slow in doing something that could improve his favorability?

Other leaders were thinking: Damn, let him get there first.

Chapter 270 No Responsibility

Inside the security department, President Su held Jia Dongxu's hand and asked about his family. "How's your wife? How's your child? How's his grades?"

"Although you bear some responsibility for this major accident, it was primarily due to the severe aging of equipment parts. Our union will definitely seek justice for you, so don't worry."

President Su's words left Jia Dongxu confused, but he understood one thing, that is, today's accident had little to do with him.
