Inside the steel mill, the rumors were also being discussed everywhere. The workers were divided into several factions, each holding their own views.

Those who have a strong desire to win all go to the people in Siheyuan to verify.

The people living in the Siheyuan have different opinions.

Wu Tiezhu and Li Zhenjiang's statements are relatively objective and are closest to the truth.

Others said all kinds of things, some said it was Yi Zhonghai, some said it was Liu Haizhong, and some said it was Yan Bugui. Anyway, there was no unified answer.

This made the factory even more chaotic, with many people pointing fingers at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Yi Zhonghai felt something was wrong, but he didn't know why. When others saw him, they knew he was difficult to deal with, so they immediately shut up.

In the end, it was Qin Huairu who learned the truth from Guo Dapiezi.

"Uncle, this is bad. People in the factory are saying that you are not sincere in taking care of the deaf old lady."

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened and he said angrily, "Nonsense. I have always taken care of the deaf old lady. Who dares to spread rumors and say that I am not sincerely taking care of the old lady?"

Yan Jiecheng, who was standing by, lowered his head in disdain. Others might not know what was going on, but how could he not know?

In fact, he had heard these rumors a long time ago, but not only did he not think of telling Yi Zhonghai, he also deliberately added some fuel to the fire.

Qin Huairu told everything he knew.

Yi Zhonghai became angrier the more he listened. All those rumors said he was unfilial, but few people blamed He Yuzhu.

Isn't this blind?

Even if he was not filial, he still brought food to the deaf old lady every day. At least he was better than He Yuzhu who never had any contact with the deaf old lady.

"Yan Jiecheng, do you know about this?"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng lowering his head, Yi Zhonghai felt very uncomfortable. The master is in trouble, and as his apprentice, don't you come over to show some concern?

In this respect, he is much worse than Jia Dongxu.

If it were Jia Dongxu, he would have come over to ask about her well-being a long time ago.

If it weren't for the exchange of interests with Yan Bugui, he would not have taught such an unfilial apprentice.

Yan Jiecheng has been with Yi Zhonghai for quite some time and knows Yi Zhonghai's temper very well.

He quickly said, "Uncle, I have been following you to work, and I don't know what they are talking about."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized that Yan Jiecheng had indeed followed him early in the morning and wanted to learn the technology.

I just went to the toilet once and came back quickly.

He didn't think Yan Jiecheng would know, but he didn't forgive him. Compared with Qin Huairu, Yan Jiecheng seemed too useless.

"Huai Ru, do you know who spread the rumors?"

Qin Huairu said: "It's being said everywhere, and I can't figure out who spread it."

In fact, she already had a guess in her mind, either He Yuzhu or Xu Damao. If Yi Zhonghai was alone with her, she would definitely tell him to please Yi Zhonghai.

But there is also Yan Jiecheng here.

Qin Huairu didn't want to become a tattletale, so she could only pretend that she didn't know.

Even without her reminder, Yi Zhonghai would have targeted He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

In his heart, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were not good people. At least half of the bad things in the world were done by them.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Jiecheng again, wanting him to speak and put the blame on He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

But Yan Jiecheng didn't understand what he meant and said nothing.

Yi Zhonghai snorted and gritted his teeth and said, "I think it was probably Sha Zhu and Xu Damao who did it."

At this time, Qin Huairu can no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb and must cooperate with Yi Zhonghai.

"I think it's them. Those rumors made them look like innocent people. They also threw all the dirty water on an old man.

It’s just abominable.”

Yan Jiecheng finally reacted and joined in denouncing He Yuzhu and Xu Damao. It was useless to just denounce them.

Yi Zhonghai was naturally not satisfied and felt that he must teach He Yuzhu a lesson.

With his current abilities, there was no way he could teach He Yuzhu a lesson.

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided to seek external help. He first went to the forging workshop and told Liu Haizhong about the rumor.

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong glared at his disciples and blamed them for not telling him.

Yi Zhonghai said: "Old Liu, we can't let the rumors spread. If they continue, our reputation will be ruined. You can forget about being an official.

No leader would dare to promote someone with a bad reputation."

Liu Haizhong was already very angry, and now when he heard that this would affect his career as an official, he became even more intolerable.

"Tell me, who spread the rumor? I'll take my apprentice to teach him a lesson right now."

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, and he was very dissatisfied with Liu Haizhong's words. What do you mean by bringing a disciple? Are you bullying him for not having a disciple?

"Lao Liu, this is a steel mill, you can't fight. If you are surrounded and caught, you will be punished."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Let's go find Director Yang and ask him to catch the person who spread the rumors."

Liu Haizhong was a little worried: "Director Yang is so busy, can he agree to our request?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Of course. We are both level 7 workers. The factory cannot ignore the slander we have received.

Don’t you want your leader to remember you?”

Liu Haizhong dreamed of being remembered by his leader, so he followed Yi Zhonghai obediently to Yang Peishan's office.

Yang Peishan had to see the two Level 7 workers, so he asked his secretary to call them in.

Yi Zhonghai told the story again, mentioning the deaf old lady many times, trying to use her to force Yang Peishan to agree.

Yang Peishan is not stupid, he knows the meaning of the phrase "there is nothing to say". If Yi Zhonghai is really so filial, there won't be such rumors.

He had also investigated and knew that Yi Zhonghai's so-called filial piety was just a union with the deaf old lady where both sides got what they wanted.

"What do you want to do?"

Yi Zhonghai said as a matter of course: "I hope the factory can arrest those who spread rumors and punish them severely.

Otherwise, if everyone spreads rumors, the factory workers will lose their focus on work.”

Yang Peishan knew that what Yi Zhonghai said made sense. If people kept thinking about the rumors, they would be distracted from their work and it would be easy to get into danger.

"There are so many workers in the factory, it's impossible to investigate them all one by one. Do you have any suspects?"

"Shazhu and Xu Damao." Liu Haizhong finally got the chance to speak.

Yang Peishan frowned and said, "How many times have I told you not to give comrades nicknames?"

Liu Haizhong felt aggrieved: "This is not my name, it was given by Shazhu's father He Daqing. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lao Yi."

Yi Zhonghai was much more tactful than Liu Haizhong: "Director Yang, Lao Liu is talking about He Yuzhu."

Yang Peishan was a little annoyed. Yi Zhonghai had repeatedly relied on the deaf old lady to use him to deal with He Yuzhu.

It made him, a factory manager, seem like he was having a conflict with a cook.

He Yuzhu has made such a great contribution to the factory, and he is busy trying to get closer to He Yuzhu. Is it necessary to target He Yuzhu?

This time, Yang Peishan suspected that Yi Zhonghai still had bad intentions, and most of what he had just said were not true.

Thinking of the deaf old lady behind Yi Zhonghai, Yang Peishan had a headache again. Two days ago, Director Pan called him and asked him to help take care of the deaf old lady.

He just didn't understand what kind of relationship Director Pan had with the deaf old lady and why he had to take care of her so much.

"Well, you guys sit in the next room for a while. I'll ask Secretary Li to call Director He and Xu Damao over. We can talk it out face to face then."

Yi Zhonghai was very dissatisfied with this answer. In his opinion, Yang Peishan should have directly issued a punishment for He Yuzhu, and then broadcast it to everyone in the steel mill. (End of this chapter)
