Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The Siheyuan Conference was held once again.

Liu Haizhong instructed his two sons to decorate the venue.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui were happy to enjoy their leisure time and did not interfere at all.

Once the venue was set up, Liu Haizhong naturally took the center seat.

On the dais, there was a seat arranged for Liu Haizhong.

Yan Bugui needed Liu Haizhong's help, so he didn't dare to cause trouble and moved a stool to the table.

Yi Zhonghai, who was already dissatisfied, could only suppress his anger when he saw this situation.

It’s different in the past.

Liu Haizhong became a leader and wielded considerable power.

Liu Haizhong looked at the two of them and tapped on the table: "What are you doing?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "Old Liu, what do you think we should do? We're holding a hospital-wide meeting, so naturally the three of us old men should sit here."

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "That's right. Now that you're the leader, it's only right that you sit in the main seat. Lao Yi and I weren't trying to take it from you."

Liu Haizhong's face darkened: "What do you mean, 'three old men'? I'm sitting here as the leader of the steel mill workers' disciplinary team. Who are you to sit on equal footing with me?"

He Yushui sat down next to He Yuzhu: "Uncle Liu not only got promoted in his official position, but he also got more airs."

He wants to monopolize the courtyard house; he's even more greedy than Yi Zhonghai.

"Why did your factory leaders think of making him an official?"

He Yuzhu said, "It just so happens that he's useful. You should stay out of these things."

He Yushui snorted and turned to whisper to Li Pan and He Yuqing.

Xu Damao leaned closer: "Do you know what the meeting was about today?"

He Yuzhu really didn't know.

After Liu Haizhong became an official, Liu Guangtian became arrogant and was no longer as respectful to He Yuzhu.

Without Liu Guangtian tipping him off, He Yuzhu really wouldn't have known.

Seeing this, Xu Damao said, "I don't think this will work. If we let him continue like this, it will eventually come back to haunt us."

He Yuzhu nodded.

Liu Haizhong had just become an official and hadn't yet become arrogant, so he listened to Li Huaide quite a bit.

But how long he can listen is questionable.

Today's hospital-wide meeting showed He Yuzhu signs of beasts colluding.

If the three old men unite, they will definitely target He Yuzhu.

We must be careful about this.

On the dais side, Liu Haizhong had already dealt with Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui.

Liu Haizhong brought two subordinates to this meeting, one of whom was Zhu Chenhui.

This was brought here to boost morale.

He Yuzhu nudged Xu Damao: "Isn't that your good brother? What's your relationship with him like?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "It's so-so."

Even without He Yuzhu saying it, Xu Damao knew what the purpose of bringing up Zhu Chenhui was.

He also wanted to find out what was going on in Liu Haizhong through Zhu Chenhui, so he started thinking about how to build a relationship with Zhu Chenhui.

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui reluctantly sat down at Yi Zhonghai's door.

After Liu Haizhong and the other person sat down, the meeting began.

This time, I didn't waste any time with small talk and got straight to the point.

It seems that Liu Haizhong has indeed learned a lot after being in charge for a few days.

"Quiet down, everyone. Let's start the meeting now."

This is a phrase that Li Huaide often said, and he learned it from it.

After the courtyard quieted down, Liu Haizhong continued, "The purpose of today's meeting is to resolve the issue concerning Teacher Yan Bugui's family."

Last night, he came to me and said that his children were not married yet, and he was making a fuss about separating from him.

Let's verify this issue today.

Well, it still tastes the same as before.

The Yan family children have been making a fuss about separating the family property for quite some time, but it's finally going to come to a conclusion.

Yan Bugui is laughing so happily now, he'll be crying in a minute. Yan Jiefang stood up: "Second Uncle, you're now a big leader in the steel rolling mill. I've also become a member of our factory's song committee."

Although our factory is small, we all belong to the rebels.

We should have something in common.

Yan Jiecheng stood up: "That's right, Second Uncle. You can't just listen to my dad."

Let me tell you, he's just using you to try and seize control of our family's finances.

You mustn't fall for that.

Yan Jiekuang also stood up and immediately quoted the leader.

"...In short, rebellion is justified. Guided by this theory, we will resist, struggle, and strive for socialism."

Second Uncle, we have a reason to rebel. Don't you agree?

The courtyard erupted in cheers, everyone afraid that if they were too slow to shout, they would be seen as criminals.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Liu Haizhong's stance immediately changed.

“I think your remarks are very reasonable and very much in line with the current situation… They teach us that without destruction there can be no construction, and the word 'destruction' comes first, and the construction is inherent in it.”

"Your family's problems aren't problems. The problem lies with Old Yan."

Nothing had changed; Liu Haizhong was still saying the same things.

The difference is that Yan Bugui was sitting below this time, and he was no longer embarrassed by being forced off the stage.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai chose to be a coward and turned a blind eye to this unfilial behavior.

He Yuzhu turned to look at him, wanting to know what his choice would be.

As expected, Yi Zhonghai did not disappoint He Yuzhu and stepped forward.

"Old Liu, you can't say that. Between parents and children, no matter what you say, it all comes down to filial piety."

There are no elders who are always wrong.

Regardless of what Lao Yan did, his children should not have made the request to separate the family property.

Old Yan raised them all, and instead of repaying his kindness, they want to divide the family property, making Old Yan lose face. This is truly unacceptable.

Liu Haizhong was furious that someone dared to contradict him.

"Old Yi, you have a serious problem with your thinking. Old Yan is clinging to the ideas of the 'stinking intellectuals,' how come you have the same thoughts?"

Did you even read the factory's announcements? Let me tell you, this is no longer the time for Yang Peishan to act like a tyrant in the factory.

He's just a street sweeper now; he's not capable of protecting you.

If you dare cause trouble again, don't blame me for arresting you.

Yi Zhonghai was furious and wanted to continue arguing with Liu Haizhong.

Qin Huairu gently tugged at him, calming him down.

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai knew that things were hopeless, so he sat down dejectedly.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong became even more smug. After this incident, he believed that no one in the courtyard would dare to go against him anymore.

"Meeting dismissed."

Having satisfied his craving for officialdom, Liu Haizhong got up and left.

Everyone dispersed, pondering how to please Liu Haizhong in the future.

Yan Bugui and the third aunt had long faces and didn't even look at their children.

The Yan family children, however, wouldn't let them go, following behind them and talking about dividing the family property.

He Yuzhu pulled He Yushui, who wanted to watch the excitement, back home: "Let me tell you, diplomacy is a very serious matter. You should rein in this gossipy nature of yours."

He Yushui smiled and said, "Don't worry. Before we start work, we all have to undergo training and learn diplomatic etiquette before we can be on duty."

He Yuzhu couldn't be bothered with this arrogant girl.

Only Yi Zhonghai remained in the courtyard, sitting at the entrance with a dark expression.

Qin Huairu whispered to comfort him, "Uncle, don't be angry."

Uncle Erda wields a lot of power now. He even arrested and reprimanded their workshop foreman.

A good man does not suffer immediate losses.

We don't need to offend him. Let Sha Zhu and Xu Damao handle that.

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai turned to look at He Yuzhu's room and became extremely dejected again.

After a long while, he finally stood up: "Forget it, let's go back. I need to be alone." (End of Chapter)
