Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Not long after starting work the next day, Liu Lan rushed into the cafeteria from outside.

"Extra number, extra number."

"Liu Lan, what big news is there again?"

Liu Lan excitedly said, "Yi Zhonghai took Liu Haizhong to Tongzhou, where they were beaten up."

They were arrested by the police, but were eventually released after a phone call to the factory.

He Yuzhu was taken aback, not expecting that the police would be involved.

If that's the case, he was probably beaten in Tongzhou City.

In rural areas, the police are not needed.

The only way for the three of them to be released is to pay compensation and apologize.

While He Yuzhu was still in a daze, Liu Lan dropped another bombshell.

The person who hit Yi Zhonghai was Yi Zhonghai's former brother-in-law.

He Yuzhu asked in surprise, "You didn't make this up, did you?"

Liu Lan was very unconvinced: "Why would I need to make something up? If you don't believe me, you can go to the office and ask Xiao Liu, who was on duty at the time."

He Yuzhu knew from her expression that there was no need to ask.

Inside the steel rolling mill, there's no need to worry about Li Huaide taking money and not doing anything, nor about Liu Lan's gossipy connections.

She used her lunch break to get to know quite a few people. Those people became her source of gossip.

Liu Lan asked, "Director He, you and Yi Zhonghai are from the same hospital. Do you know what they're doing in Tongzhou?"

He Yuzhu initially wanted to say he didn't know, but then he thought he should add some embellishment to the rumor.

“I don’t get along with him, so how could he possibly tell me?”

However, I do have some news that might be related to their trip to Tongzhou.

Liu Lan became interested, grabbed He Yuzhu's arm, and asked, "Tell me quickly."

He Yuzhu then recounted Miao Jianye's blind date.

"They must be going to Tongzhou to ruin people's reputations."

After listening to He Yuzhu's words, Liu Lan, based on her years of experience in gossip, could tell that He Yuzhu was talking nonsense.

However, she did not expose it.

As a veteran in the gossip world, she knew very well that once this news got out, it would definitely cause an uproar at the steel rolling mill.

Yi Zhonghai has a history of disrupting other people's blind dates, and many people will surely believe that.

Moreover, the true essence of gossip is not whether it is true or false, but whether it can arouse other people's interest.

In order to occupy the high ground of Bagua, Liu Lan turned into a gust of wind and left the steel rolling mill.

Where the wind blows, only the legends of Yi Zhonghai and two others remain.

Li Huaide was furious and lost all patience with Liu Haizhong.

He had told Liu Haizhong long ago to behave himself, but this guy actually caused trouble all the way to Tongzhou.

When Li Huaide went to work in the morning, he called Liu Haizhong over and gave him a severe scolding.

Liu Haizhong came out of Li Huaide's office with a sour face.

Everyone at the steel mill knew he was a mad dog, and they all avoided him.

His men all knew he had a bad temper and dared not speak in front of him.

Only Yi Zhonghai, relying on his relationship with Liu Haizhong, managed to get close to him.

"Team Leader Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai with dissatisfaction: "I'm asking you, did you deliberately take me to Tongzhou yesterday?"

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "What an idiot. He believes everything he's told."

He wishes Tongzhou would disappear, so how could he possibly go to Tongzhou?

"Don't listen to other people's nonsense, okay? We were together yesterday, do you think I did it on purpose?"

Liu Haizhong asked, "Why couldn't it have been intentional? You led me and Lao Yan to follow Sha Zhu. As a result, Sha Zhu went to Haidian."

Who exactly are we following?

Yi Zhonghai said, "Think carefully, when we left the city, weren't we following Sha Zhu?"

Liu Haizhong thought about it for a moment and realized that Yi Zhonghai was right.

With so many people in the city blocking their way, the distance they could follow was shorter.

They were certain that the person at that time was He Yuzhu.

Yi Zhonghai said, "We've been following him the whole time, and we haven't lost him along the way. How could he possibly go to Haidian?" Liu Haizhong asked dumbfoundedly, "Then what exactly happened?"

Yi Zhonghai said, "It must be that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao made up lies."

"They were both bad seeds from childhood, how can you believe what they say?"

Liu Haizhong was persuaded by Yi Zhonghai. To vent his anger, he led his men to the factory and harass the workers.

Those who don't greet you when you see them, those who take a long time to go to the toilet...

Anyone who is given an excuse will be punished.

Yang Peishan was the most unlucky one. He had clearly swept the floor clean, but Liu Haizhong and his men deliberately dirtied it.

As a result, he was scolded for not cleaning properly.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were the most proactive among them.

Yi Zhonghai harbored deep hatred for Yang Peishan. He felt that Yang Peishan, the factory director, was utterly useless. If he were even slightly capable, he would have already had He Yuzhu take care of the deaf old lady.

Yang Peishan bears a great deal of responsibility for the failure of his retirement plan.

Liu Haizhong also resented Yang Peishan. When Yang Peishan was the factory director, he had no chance of becoming an official.

Yang Peishan stepped down, and he immediately took office.

In his heart, he felt that Yang Peishan was responsible for his inability to become an official.

Both of them felt that Yang Peishan had no chance of making a comeback, so they used him as a punching bag.

Just as the two were bullying Yang Peishan, Qin Huairu ran over.

She whispered something in Yi Zhonghai's ear for a while, and Yi Zhonghai's face turned purplish-red.

Liu Haizhong asked, "Qin Huairu, what are you whispering about with Lao Yi?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and realized that the news couldn't be kept secret, so he told Liu Haizhong.

“Some people are slandering us, saying that we went to Tongzhou yesterday to ruin Miao Jianye’s reputation and prevent him from getting married.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong was furious and led his men to arrest the person.

When Xu Damao learned of the news, he also brought his men over to cause them trouble.

With Xu Damao's support, the workers were no longer afraid of Liu Haizhong.

Xu Damao was eager for Liu Haizhong to lose face, so he deliberately asked, "You said you weren't there to ruin other people's reputations. Then why did they hit you?"

Liu Haizhong said angrily, "They are deliberately causing us trouble."

Xu Damao said, "What do you mean they deliberately caused you trouble?"

If you don't go to Tongzhou, how will they cause you trouble?

Putting aside the facts, are you completely innocent?

Upon hearing this, the workers all joined in, shouting to disregard the facts.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai became Liu Haizhong's lackey—of course, Yi Zhonghai denies it—he sees himself as the strategist.

Yi Zhonghai often used the phrase "leave aside implementation" to lecture the workers.

Anyone who had a bad relationship with him has suffered the consequences of those words.

Even with Yi Zhonghai's silver tongue, he couldn't argue with so many workers.

If Liu Haizhong hadn't been the leader of the workers' picket team, the angry workers might have physically taught them a lesson.

In the end, Liu Haizhong could only lead his men in a hasty retreat.

"I'm furious."

Liu Haizhong was smashing things everywhere on his own turf.

At this moment, Qin Huairu reappeared and whispered a few words to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up; he had a good idea. He whispered a few words in Qin Huairu's ear, and Qin Huairu nodded excitedly.

"Grandpa, this is a good idea."

Yi Zhonghai said, "Remember, later we'll shift all the blame onto Sha Zhu and make Lao Liu target Sha Zhu."

This time I'll definitely teach Sha Zhu a lesson.

After discussing it, the two went to find Liu Haizhong together.

"Team Leader Liu, I have something important to tell you."

Liu Haizhong calmed down: "Old Yi, you speak."

Yi Zhonghai glanced around and gestured for Liu Haizhong to remove any unrelated people. (End of Chapter)
