Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Qin Huairu waited for a while, but still didn't see Liu Haizhong's figure.

Left with no other choice, she stopped someone and asked, "Have you seen Uncle Er?"

"Qin Huairu, do I look like your second uncle?" The man knew Qin Huairu and asked jokingly.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him: "I'm asking you, have you seen Liu Shifu in Liu Haizhong?"

Qin Huairu's eye roll had little effect. The man, pleased with his look, reached out and patted Qin Huairu's bottom before telling her what was going on.

Liu Haizhong was punished again by the workshop director for some reason, and he was cleaning the workshop.

Yi Zhonghai was unaware of this; he only saw that person pat Qin Huairu's buttocks and immediately assumed that person was an adulterer.

He memorized the man's face and planned to ask Liu Haizhong who he really was.

After learning of Liu Haizhong's whereabouts, Qin Huairu went into the forging workshop.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was just someone giving directions, and immediately followed them to the forging workshop.

"Second Uncle, let me help you."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai entered the forging workshop, he heard this sentence.

He felt like his home had been robbed, which then turned into anger.

He considered Liu Haizhong a partner in his retirement. For this reason, he didn't mind if Liu Haizhong undermined him.

He never imagined that Liu Haizhong would secretly steal from his home.

When Liu Haizhong saw Qin Huairu, he straightened up and said, "Qin Huairu, what brings you here?"

Qin Huai approached Liu Haizhong and whispered, "Second Uncle, I have a favor to ask of you."

Liu Haizhong said, "If you have something to say, go find Lao Yi."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't hear what Qin Huairu was saying, he could only hear Liu Haizhong's words.

Qin Huairu's position has not yet been finalized, and she cannot let others know.

She said to Liu Haizhong, "Second Uncle, keep your voice down. This matter cannot be known by others."

Liu Haizhong looked curious and subconsciously lowered his voice.

This greatly worried Yi Zhonghai.

If the adulterer were someone else, he could use the same trick; but if it were Liu Haizhong, that method wouldn't work.

He intends to live with Liu Haizhong in his old age, and he cannot allow Liu Haizhong to fall out with the Jia family.

Qin Huairu asked, "Second Uncle, I just want to ask how you organized the workers' picket team back then."

Mentioning this made Liu Haizhong a little angry. He had treated his subordinates so well, giving them official positions.

Those people, once something happened, sold him out.

"Don't mention those bastards to me."

Qin Huai said, "Second Uncle, just tell me."

Her charms were of little use against Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong said, "Why are you asking this? This is a matter for leaders; it's useless for you to ask."

Qin Huairu felt somewhat powerless in the face of Liu Haizhong. Her beauty, which she was so proud of, had little effect on him.

She knew there were ways to deal with bangs, but that trick couldn't be used.

She looked down on Liu Haizhong, that idiot.

Qin Huairu then thought of using her charm. She moved closer to Liu Haizhong and shook his arm, saying, "Second Uncle, just tell me. I'll help you with the work, okay?"

Liu Haizhong was quite happy to hear that Qin Huairu was willing to help with the work.

"Finish your work for me first, and then I'll tell you."

If Qin Huai wanted to get something for free, he would say, "Tell me about it first."

Liu Haizhong said, "Don't you even look at what time it is? By the time we finish talking, it will be dark."

If you're not going to help me, then don't hold me back. I need to go home for dinner.

Having no other choice, Qin Huairu could only pick up the tools and help Liu Haizhong with his work.

She was doing the job fairly well, but Liu Haizhong was dissatisfied.

If he works like this, he won't be able to deliver, and the workshop foreman will punish him again tomorrow.

"Qin Huairu, if you're not going to do it, then don't cause me any trouble."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to obediently work. Yi Zhonghai's eyes reddened at the sight. Even while cleaning his house, Qin Huairu kept finding excuses to ask him for money.

Now, even after being scolded by Liu Haizhong, they don't talk back and instead work hard for him.

Yi Zhonghai's hatred soared to the heavens.

Liu Haizhong felt a cold sweat break out all over his body, as if some kind of crisis was about to occur.

After getting off work, He Yuzhu took his things to find Yang Peishan.

"This is from Director Li."

Yang Peishan took it and saw that it contained some receipts and some money.

Why would he give me these things out of the blue?

He Yuzhu said, "Thank you for tipping me off."

Yang Peishan sneered, "He's still so good at winning people over."

He Yuzhu said, "Director Yang, don't be unconvinced. Working under a leader like Director Li makes everyone more motivated."

What can I gain by following you?

Yang Peishan said, "Am I bad to my subordinates?"

He Yuzhu pointed to himself and said, "What do you think? I've done so much for the steel rolling mill since I came here."

During the most difficult years, it was thanks to my cooking skills that the factory was able to exchange for supplies.

How did you treat me?
"Just because of a few baseless accusations, my promotion has been suspended."

Yang Peishan looked embarrassed: "Wasn't that the deaf old lady who asked me for help?"
Besides, with your excellent qualities, taking care of her shouldn't be a problem.

He Yuzhu retorted, "Your conditions are better than mine. Why don't you take care of her?"

She and I are just ordinary neighbors, and not even close neighbors. Am I obligated to take care of her?

Yang Peishan was stumped. As a factory director, he naturally didn't want another emperor emeritus above him.

“I have no relation to the deaf old lady. I’m only doing this because of Director Pan.”

He Yuzhu spat and said, "What's the difference between what you're doing and that hypocrite Yi Zhonghai?"

They're all taking other people's things to do favors for themselves.

After hurling his insults, He Yuzhu stormed off. He hated this kind of moral blackmail.

Yang Peishan blushed and was still angry as He Yuzhu scolded him.

He was furious that He Yuzhu compared him to Yi Zhonghai, that treacherous bastard.

Inside the steel rolling mill, everyone else could criticize him, but Yi Zhonghai was the only one who wasn't qualified.

Out of consideration for the deaf old lady, he gave Yi Zhonghai a lot of preferential treatment.

If it weren't for him, Yi Zhonghai would have been eating sand in the Northwest long ago.

He never imagined that after he fell on hard times, Yi Zhonghai would not only not help him, but would also come and beat him up.

Yang Peishan kept this score with Yi Zhonghai.

Don't let him turn things around. If he does, we'll make sure Yi Zhonghai pays the price.

Yi Zhonghai was unaware of this. He didn't believe Yang Peishan would ever be able to turn things around.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was still monitoring Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu finally finished her work and immediately ran to Liu Haizhong to ask him questions.

Liu Haizhong then began to boast, never forgetting to talk about his great achievements.

Qin Huairu didn't want to hear that, so she kept interrupting him, asking him to explain how to form a workers' picket team.

Liu Haizhong was no match for Qin Huairu and soon revealed his true colors.

There's really no secret to it; it's just about leading people around and arresting them.

Qin Huairu was not satisfied with this approach. It was too simplistic. As it turned out, Liu Haizhong's method was far inferior to Xu Damao's.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Liu Haizhong, she felt that all her work for the day had been for nothing, and left angrily.

Liu Haizhong, still confused, shouted at Qin Huairu, "Don't go! I'll tell you anything you want to ask. You can say anything as long as you help me with the work."

Yi Zhonghai cursed inwardly, "A toad trying to eat swan meat."

Then he went outside to wait. He needed to have a serious talk with Liu Haizhong; he couldn't harbor any ill intentions towards Qin Huairu. (End of Chapter)
