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

The steel rolling mill looks brand new today. The security personnel standing guard at the door are much more energetic than usual. One reason is that they have meat to eat today, and the other is that their security department has made great contributions.

Their section chief Li Weiguo and his colleagues Wang Hao and Li Hang cracked the gold case!

What an honor this is!

Today is the day to commend them. Anyone who dares to cause trouble today will have trouble with their entire security department!

After entering the office, Jiang Fan found that his colleagues were also discussing this matter.

"It seems that the section chief hasn't told them yet." Jiang Fan thought.

Seeing Jiang Fan coming in, Ye Yu asked, "Jiang Fan, what do you think of today's commendation meeting?"

Jiang Fan said very seriously, "Of course I stood on the stage and watched. I'm the one being honored today."

Ye Yu and the other two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Ding Lei said, "Old Jiang, don't joke around. You don't have the talent for this."

Zhao Wen also said, "You know what, Jiang Fan's serious look is really a bit intimidating. I almost believed it."

Jiang Fan was speechless and spread his hands. "You guys, I'm telling you the truth but you don't believe me. It's really hard to deal with this! How about we make a bet? If I get the commendation, you do my work for the next month. If not, how about I treat you to a meal?"

Ding Lei thought about it for a moment. He still didn't think Jiang Fan would be the one to be commended. He held out his hand and said, "Let's bet! Even if it's you, we'll just have to work a little longer."

Ye Yu also raised his hand to agree. Finally, Zhao Wen was the only one left. Seeing that both of them agreed, he joined in.

Chapter 304 Commendation

Crackling!

The sound of firecrackers rang out and the air was filled with smoke.

After Chief Wang of the Publicity Department gave a few minutes of introductions, he uttered the classic line, "Now let's invite Director Yang to deliver an important speech."

Factory Director Yang sat in the middle of the podium. "Ahem, comrades! Thank you for your hard work. I'm Yang Aiguo. Our meeting today..."

Five minutes later, Yang Aiguo finally got to the point.

"This meeting is to commend our factory's Security Section Chief Li Weiguo, Comrades Wang Hao and Li Hang, Comrade Xu Damao from the Publicity Section, and Comrade Jiang Fan from the Technical Section. They played a vital role in solving the gold case..."

Below the stage, the security department staff cheered excitedly, the publicity department had expected this, and the technical department staff looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ding Lei's mouth opened wide. "It really is a commendation for Jiang Fan?"

Zhao Wen said, "They caught the gold thieves, and they didn't even share such a big news with us? I've been looking forward to it for days."

Han Daguo turned his head and looked at them, "What are you expecting?"

"Of course I hope I can catch it!"

Zhao Wen responded, then he looked at Han Daguo's calm expression, "Section Chief, did you know this a long time ago?"

Han Daguo nodded and gestured with his fingers, "Well, we section chiefs definitely know a little more than you."

The three of them smiled bitterly and began to assign Jiang Fan's work tasks for the next month.

The guy with bangs on the other side was stunned when he heard Jiang Fan's name.

"How could it be? How could it be someone from the Jiang family! This is fake, it must be fake!"

He shook his head and babbled in shock, and the workers sitting next to him subconsciously moved away from him.

Only a few of his disciples came to him.

"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Master is shocked by this news and his mind is a little confused. Master Yu, please give my master a slap to wake him up."

The person who said this was Liu Haizhong’s senior disciple - Bu Xiaozi.

Master Yu came over with some hesitation. Although he and Liu Haizhong had a good relationship, it was not right to slap him for no reason. Besides, wouldn't pouring a glass of water on Liu Haizhong be the same?

But before he could offer any suggestions, Bu Xiaozi urged, "Master Yu, just beat him. I will explain it to Master. If it's too late, Master might actually become demented."

Master Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'm sorry, Old Liu."

Snapped!

A loud and crisp slap was heard, and everyone around looked over.

Bu Xiaozi put his hands on his face and said, "Why are there mosquitoes today?"

"This guy is so cruel to himself, he even swats a mosquito so hard."

"He is indeed a ruthless man. The sound was so loud that I thought two enemies who had killed their fathers were meeting each other."

Liu Haizhong covered his face with his hands and looked at Master Yu angrily, "Old Yu, why the hell did you hit me?"

Master Yu waved his hands repeatedly, pointing at Bu Xiaozi and saying, "I didn't want to do that, Old Liu. Your apprentice made me do it."

Liu Haizhong turned his head instantly and looked at his good apprentice angrily.

Bu Xiaozi quickly explained, "Master, I have no other choice. Just now you kept shouting that it was impossible. How could it be possible? I thought you were provoked by something and that's why you resorted to this desperate measure."

The other disciples also started to explain on behalf of the eldest brother. They were also concerned about Liu Haizhong. After all, Liu Haizhong looked like he was crazy just now.

Others also started asking Liu Haizhong what was going on and why he reacted so strongly.

Naturally, Liu Haizhong couldn't bring himself to talk about the bet he had made with Liu Guangtian, that unfilial son, so he could only gloss over it.

Fortunately, no one else asked any more questions because the award ceremony had already begun on the stage.

The rewards given by the steel rolling mill are similar to those issued by the ministry. Except for no medals, they are cash, receipts, cups, towels, etc., and each person has a job quota.

This made the workers in the audience very jealous. Now the job vacancies in the steel rolling mill can be sold privately for thousands of dollars!

This means that the people on the stage received more than a thousand yuan at one time!

In an instant, the workers in the steel mill began to have wild thoughts, and those from wealthy families wondered how they could buy this job opportunity?

Those with dirty minds are thinking about how to get this spot: setting up a gambling game? Or even a honey trap?

Some people also thought that Jiang Fan was the only one still single among these people, making him an even more sought-after commodity. They must seize the opportunity to win him over.

Below the stage, Jiang Daniu and his colleagues felt the eager gazes of their coworkers.

"Old Jiang, honestly, what's the relationship between us?"

"generally!"

"Uh!"

Jiang Daniu glanced at his fellow workers and said, "I still say the same thing. My second son is a man of his own ideas. He can make his own decisions. I won't interfere."

"Me too!" ×2

Jiang Pingan and Jiang Dalei said in unison.

This blocked the way for everyone, whether they wanted to buy a job at a friendly price or introduce a partner to Jiang Fan.

Jia Dongxu, who was in the crowd, was also thinking. He also wanted to buy a job for Qin Huairu. As long as Qin Huairu got a formal job, her household registration could be transferred to an urban household registration, and Banggeng and his family's household registration could also be changed. This way, Jia Zhang would be the only one in their family with a rural household registration, and their life pressure would be much less.

There was only one problem before him - no money!

He thought of his master. Yi Zhonghai must be rich, and quite a bit. But how could he get Yi Zhonghai to pay for it? Also, the Jia family and the Jiang family were not on good terms. Whether Jiang Fan was willing to sell was still a question.

As for finding other people, Xu Damao and Jiang Fan were in the same boat. Li Weiguo and his men were from the army and had many comrades. They would definitely not consider selling to him. Jia Dongxu saw this very clearly.

So he was very distressed. The solution to his family's difficulties was right in front of him, but he just couldn't find it! How miserable!

Sha Zhu, who was cooking in the cafeteria, was even more dumbfounded. He could hardly believe his ears.

Someone just went to the commendation meeting and came back to say that Xu Damao was being commended. The others just ignored it.

That bastard Xu Damao was actually a key member in solving the gold case? He even received a commendation from the leadership, and now he's on stage, under the gaze of thousands of people?

How could Sha Zhu accept this?

My enemy since childhood suddenly rose to fame and became a role model and moral role model in the factory.

Sha Zhu felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he had been stabbed.

The man continued, "Not only did I receive a third-class merit award, I also received a two-hundred-yuan cash reward, notes, and a job offer. That's over a thousand yuan in total."

砰

Sha Zhu banged the pot with his spatula and muttered, "One thousand yuan! One thousand yuan! Xu Damao actually got one thousand yuan!"

After hearing this, the person next to her said to her, "Yeah, silly, how long do you have to work for 1,000 yuan? You earn 38.5 yuan a month, so if you count it as 40 yuan, you will have to work for 25 months, which is two years."

Chapter 305: Sha Zhu is frustrated

Sha Zhu smiled bitterly, "Yeah, it will take two years. It will take two years to be as good as what they did this time."

Someone in the kitchen continued, "You're being too one-sided. This thousand yuan is indeed a lot, but it's nothing compared to the real benefits."

This aroused the curiosity of others. Is there a greater benefit than a thousand yuan?

Someone speculated, "Could it be a third-class merit? But that's of no use to ordinary people like us."

"It can't be a bill, right? How many bills can compare to a thousand yuan?"

The man shook his head. "You're wrong. Think about it, after the gold case happened, who was under the most pressure?"

"Is there any need to ask? It must be the public security."

"That's right, it's the police. Now that Xu Damao and his men have caught the gold thieves, how can the police not be grateful to them? This is a big favor. As the saying goes, the people should not fight against the officials. If anyone messes with Xu Damao and his men in the future, they will stand at the door of the police station. Just imagine. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."

Everyone suddenly realized that the more than a thousand yuan was not the most important thing. It was obvious that the favor from the police was more important.

No one noticed that sweat was already appearing on Sha Zhu's forehead. When he heard this analysis, he immediately thought of what he had done last night.

Fortunately, he only set off firecrackers and hadn't found a chance to set off match heads. (Yellow phosphorus has a very low ignition point)

If Xu Damao gets hurt, I'm afraid I'll be arrested. When he thought of this, Sha Zhu's heart started pounding.

"Looks like we need to find a chance to get the firecracker back. Otherwise, it will be bad if it spontaneously combusts."

At this moment, Sha Zhu was extremely glad that he had not taken action yet, and even more glad that there was such a wise person in the kitchen. He looked at the man with a bit of gratitude.

After the meeting, it was time for dinner. Director Yang waved his hand, and before he even said the word "dinner", the workers of the steel rolling mill charged towards the cafeteria.

Everything on the stage is fake, the food in the cafeteria is real.

It is more realistic to eat your fill before considering how to get the benefits.

In the cafeteria, the workers who had bought their meals gathered together and ate their food with big mouthfuls. They did not communicate with each other at all, but only wanted to savor the delicious food in front of them.

There are also many people who only eat staple foods and rarely eat vegetables. They put away the vegetables and prepare to bring them back for their families to eat.

That's what Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai did. They put the lion's head in their lunch boxes and planned to take it home.

While eating, Jia Dongxu thought over and over again and decided to discuss buying a job with Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Yi Zhonghai put down his chopsticks and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me. There's no need for us to hide anything between master and disciple."

"Master, I'm thinking that Xu Damao has a job opening right now. I'm thinking of finding a job for Huairu and resolving her and the children's household registration issues."

Yi Zhonghai came to his senses and realized that Jia Dongxu wanted him to pay for Qin Huairu to buy a job.

Sure enough, Jia Dongxu mustered up the courage to say to Yi Zhonghai, "So I want to borrow some money from you, Master. Of course, I can write an IOU and pay it back every month, and the interest will be calculated according to normal interest."

Yi Zhonghai did not agree directly, but asked Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, have you had this idea for a long time, or did you just suddenly decide after hearing about it today? Have you discussed it with Huairu? And if Huairu really comes to work with us, would you be comfortable leaving the child with your mother?"

Jia Dongxu was silent. The first two questions were not problems, they had already discussed them, but the last question really stumped him.

Can Banggeng and Xiaodang be handed over to Jia Zhang?

Jia Dongxu no longer has any mother-son affection for Jia Zhang. If he hadn't been afraid of the reputation of being unfilial, he would have ignored it long ago.

If the child is handed over to Jia Zhang to take care of, it is not certain whether the child will recognize him as his father after a few months.

Jia Zhangshi has no other skills, but she has a lot of fallacies and heresies, and she instills unethical ideas into her children every day. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be two more little Jia Zhangshis in the family.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's hesitation, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved. He really didn't want to spend 1,800 yuan to buy a job for Qin Huairu. Although he could make a profit, it would take a long time.

As for the interest, could he really ask for it? Wouldn't that be pushing his good apprentice away?
