The conspiracy of the courtyard

Chapter 238: The Ceremony

Sure enough, that very evening, Zhao Saner and his wife went to Chen Ping's home to express their gratitude, bringing two bottles of canned fruit and a pound of peach cakes as gifts, and detailed the causes and consequences of the report.

The source of this matter can be traced back to the time when Yi Zhonghai ended his labor reform ahead of schedule and returned to the steel rolling mill to participate in the eighth-level worker assessment.

At that time, the steel rolling mill undertook a batch of processing tasks for special military products. However, several eighth-level fitters in the factory were persecuted by hidden Japanese spies one after another. Although those spies had been killed, the progress of the mission was still affected.

The factory leaders were unwilling to give up the mission, so they seconded senior workers to various major steel mills, but other steel mills declined for various reasons.

Only the prison factory where Yi Zhonghai is serving his sentence must unconditionally obey the organization's requirements, and only then does he have the opportunity to participate in the assessment of the steel rolling mill.

Originally this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Saner. It was just a coincidence that he accidentally saw a transaction between Yi Zhonghai and the workshop director, and was forced to accept the hush money that Yi Zhonghai forced upon him.

Cheating in assessments is not uncommon, it happens every year, and judging from the technical level alone, Yi Zhonghai can definitely pass the assessment. Zhao Saner did not take it seriously, nor did he intend to use it to threaten him, and he had long forgotten about it.

It was not until this morning when Lu Zixuan suddenly asked about his dispute with Yi Zhonghai that he remembered this matter.

So, Zhao Saner begged Captain Dong to convey a threatening message to the workshop director, and the workshop director used his connections to bail him out, but he still had to suspend his work until the matter was clarified.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping forced a smile and said:

"It's good that he's okay. I haven't been in the factory for long, and I haven't been able to help at all. Even though I have the title of a cadre, I'm actually nothing. Today, even to enter the security department, I have to rely on Liu Lan's help. I really don't know how to do this job..."

Zhao Saner was stunned at first, then waved his hand and explained with a wry smile:

"Sister Chen, you misunderstood. You have helped me enough. If you hadn't brought Xiaohua to the factory, I would still be waiting in the security department for an investigation. We just came to tell you the reason for the report so that you don't have to worry about it.

It was only after I got home and had a quarrel with my father that I found out that it was Master Yi who heard from my father that I had taken Xiao Si'er's job quota, and then instigated him to report it to the factory.

He also solemnly promised that even if Xiao Si'er could not take over the job, he would find him another job in the city.

I don’t know what evil has possessed my parents. They are helping outsiders to cheat their own son. Sigh…

To be honest, in our hearts, people like you are our relatives. If I were not afraid of gossip, I would like to recognize you as my real sister.

By the way, Yi Zhonghai has been complaining to my father recently, saying that you are a troublemaker in our courtyard, you don’t respect the elderly and love the young, and you take the lead in destroying unity. What he meant was that he probably wants to be the boss again, so you should pay more attention to him in the future. "

Chen Ping didn't care at all. She took out a bag of fruit candy from the chest of drawers and said sarcastically:

"Tsk! He only knows how to talk about these useless things. How can he get anything good from me? Don't worry, he can't do anything wrong.

Xiaohua, take these things away. If you do this again next time, don't come in. Who are you trying to embarrass? Take these candies back to the two little ones..."

After Chen Ping saw Zhao Saner and his wife off, he closed the door and began to mutter:

"Son, do you think that the word idiot is engraved on my forehead? Or is it that I have drunk too much water in this city and become smarter, or is it that the master in the factory can teach me?

Zhao Saner used to be a very honest person, but now he has learned to be hypocritical and use tricks.

His squinting eyes were like hooks, staring at the net bag closely, as if he was afraid that I would snatch it away. He was pretending just to fool himself.

He was kind enough to remind me to be careful, but he almost asked me to fight Yi Zhonghai for him. Humph! "

Seeing that Lu Zixuan still looked absent-minded, he continued:

"Hey, son, can I take advantage of the situation and instigate Zhao San'er and his gang to beat up Yi Zhonghai? It would be best if we beat his hands so hard that he can't even work as a temporary worker.

Do you think he really has the ability to find a job for Zhao Xiaosi? Why don’t I believe it? "

Lu Zixuan curled his lips and said disdainfully:

"You should keep a good sleep in the future and try not to daydream. How did Zhao Saner, an ordinary worker, come up with the idea of ​​beating up an eighth-level worker?

Not to mention that he was a worker with no background. Even if the factory manager wanted to control him, he would have to work hard. Do you know how many eighth-level workers there are in this steel mill with 10,000 employees? There are only about 20 of them, and how many of them are fitters? Only a handful of them, but they are all the treasures of the factory and the capital for the leaders to brag about.

Especially for a Grade 8 worker like Yi Zhonghai, who only has skills and ambitions but no future and background, he is a favorite in the eyes of the factory leaders and can be won over by simply giving them some benefits. "

Chen Ping was surprised and asked:

"Ah? Didn't he go through labor reform? Aren't the leaders afraid of being implicated?"

Lu Zixuan patiently explained:

"As long as he has nothing to do with politics, he can't implicate anyone. Look at the other eighth-level workers. The worst one is a workshop team leader, enjoying the treatment of senior workers. They are all party members and have a large number of disciples.

But what about him? He was doing the work of an eighth-level worker, but was paid the salary of a fourth-level worker. He had no official position, no apprentices, and could not participate in any politically significant activities or production. He would just have to endure this from now on, but not many people knew about it.

He was also aware of his situation, which was why he was looking for a suitable apprentice who could inherit his skills and ambitions and help him fulfill his dream of becoming a leader.

Therefore, I have arranged two more promising apprentices for him a long time ago. This is why I have been reluctant to knock him off. I cannot delay the inheritance of technology and the development of technology because of personal likes and dislikes."

Chen Ping worriedly said:

"Then be careful when you arrange for people to enter the factory, and don't give them any handles. Since I went to the steel mill, I have seen several dismissal notices on the bulletin board, and I always feel uncomfortable.

Eh? No, didn't he always say that Jia Dongxu was his only disciple? Why would he look for another disciple?

Also, if Xiaohua comes to me again to ask for help from Zhao Saner, will you help me? I'm really afraid of being used as a tool again."

Lu Zixuan sat up straight and answered seriously:

"Jia Dongxu is just a pension security cultivated by Yi Zhonghai. He is easy to control, respects the elderly, is honest and simple, has no ambitions, and has no worries about food and clothing. People who have these conditions are the best candidates for pension. Yi Zhonghai has a clear mind.

As for Zhao Saner...you can handle it yourself, it won't have much impact. In fact, he is not as smooth as you think. He is just too afraid of Yi Zhonghai. No matter if he is an eighth-level worker with a high status in the factory, or a big boss who once had the power to cover the sky with one hand in the courtyard, he can't afford to offend him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been cornered and desperate, and still respectfully called him Master Yi. It was just an instinctive behavior of a weak person seeking shelter.

This matter is probably not that simple. It is most likely caused by the friction between the leaders. Yi Zhonghai is just a worker and does not have the ability to stir up trouble.

As for finding a temporary worker for his little fourth son, let alone Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker, it wouldn't be a difficult task if you paid a little attention.

If you are really worried, I will ask someone tomorrow, and you can tell me more about the dismissal notice..."

Lu Zixuan carefully recalled Yi Zhonghai's recent abnormal behavior, and combined with the dismissal notice mentioned by Chen Ping, he realized that Zhao Saner's reporting was not an isolated case, nor did it seem like Yi Zhonghai's simple act of revenge, which was thought-provoking.

Therefore, early the next morning, Lu Zixuan ordered Song Xiangzhe to send additional personnel to the steel rolling mill to conduct in-depth investigations into the distribution of power among cadres, recent production tasks and personnel transfers, as well as Yi Zhonghai's social relations within the factory.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for "Eagle Eye" to integrate into large enterprises...
