Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

Having thought all this through, Li Chaoyang waved his hand at Zhang Chaohua, who was still standing there motionless, and said, "It's alright, you can go back to your work."

"Remember not to embellish or spread rumors about what happened last night."

"Oh, and also, remember to let me know when you see Xu Damao later."

“If he keeps skipping work like this, don’t blame me for reassigning him to a different position and making him work three shifts in the workshop.”

"Okay, Section Chief, I'll head back now..." Zhang Chaoyang replied, but turned and walked out the door with a surprised look on his face. He had thought that no matter what the reason was for Xu Damao offending the Section Chief, he would definitely be punished.

However, to everyone's surprise, Section Chief Li did not immediately reassign Xu Damao to a different position.

Instead, he asked me to notify him first. Was this to observe the consequences, or was Section Chief Li simply unwilling to settle personal scores?

It seems Section Chief Li is very clear about separating public and private matters...

As expected of a great artist who has received the highest awards, his quality is truly outstanding!

What Li Chaoyang didn't know was that his casual action would cause Zhang Chaoyang to imagine so many things.

However, what he thought was not wrong. Although Li Chaoyang had a bad temper, he at least had some principles.

I would never make things difficult for Xu Damao at work for no reason just because he offended me.

Of course, just as he just said.

If Xu Damao deliberately skipped work and made trouble for himself, then he naturally couldn't blame Li Chaoyang for taking advantage of the situation.

Li Chaoyang certainly couldn't fire Xu Damao, nor did he have the authority to do so.

But I can still manage to send him to work three shifts in the workshop!

You should know that there's a vicious cycle of contempt even in this factory.

Generally, leaders look down on ordinary cadres and employees, while ordinary cadres and employees naturally look down on workers.

The workers, on the other hand, are both opposed to the two groups mentioned above and have no choice but to obey their commands.

However, this does not include workers who work three shifts.

Workers who work three shifts in the workshop are considered the kind of people who are exiled to the frontier.

It can be said that it is at the very bottom of the food chain.

Therefore, even the workers who work the day shift in the workshop look down on those who work the three-shift system the most...

If Xu Damao were to be demoted from his projectionist position to work three shifts in the workshop, not to mention the reduction in his salary and benefits.

Even any other additional benefits will plummet!

Now it all depends on whether Xu Damao knows what's good for him. If he insists on going all the way, he'll be the one who suffers!

After thinking about these things and finding them somewhat boring, Li Chaoyang raised his hand and looked at his watch.

It'll be 2 PM in half an hour. I just heard from the canteen staff that the factory manager is going to entertain guests this afternoon.

Then we should go find the factory manager and get these two applications signed before the guests arrive.

Also, ask the factory manager for some funding; the propaganda department is currently in a state of having soldiers and generals but no funds.

Reopening the cultural center, forming a choir, and organizing training all cost money.

We can't keep putting money out of our own pockets, can we?

A choir isn't just about recruiting people; you also need some equipment for training, right?

Putting everything else aside, you should at least have the most basic accompaniment instruments, right?

Without these things, it would just be a makeshift operation.

At that point, forget about winning a prize in the arts festival; I doubt I'll even qualify for the competition...

After a quick calculation, I realized I needed to discuss this with the factory manager first.

We'll discuss how to make the purchase after we bring in Sister Li's husband, who is a professional.

Just as he was figuring out how to ask the factory manager for some funding...

But then there was another knock on the office door!

Before Li Chaoyang could speak, Ren Guizhong pushed open the door and hurriedly whispered, "Section Chief, the factory office sent someone to ask you to come over. Something seems off!"

Chapter Fifty-Five: Director Liu Takes Xu Damao to File a Complaint!

"To demand an explanation?"

Li Chaoyang, who was about to curse, hesitated for a moment before the words were even out of his mouth.

"What's going on? Someone from the factory office wants to see me?"

"I do not know either."

"Two young men came in aggressively and started shouting that they were looking for you as soon as they entered the cultural center!"

"They said they wanted you to go to the office building..." Ren Guizhong said, looking completely bewildered.

"Deputy Section Chief Qian has already stopped them downstairs."

"He asked me to come up here so he could ask if we should stop them..."

Li Chaoyang had absolutely no idea what had happened.

I was just about to go to the office building to find the factory manager.

Why did two young men suddenly come to call me to the office building?

Moreover, according to Ren Guizhong, the person who came did not seem to be a good person.

But I haven't done anything wrong.

Could it be that the people from the factory office, who are on Director Liu's side, are going to cause trouble for me again?

As he was wondering what had happened, Ren Guizhong, who was standing by the door, asked in a low voice.

"Section Chief, should I go and tell them you're not here?"

Li Chaoyang thought for a moment and said, "They've already come knocking on our door, what's the point of saying you're not here?"

"Never mind, I'll go down and see what's going on..."

Upon hearing this, Ren Guizhong immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Alright, Section Chief, I'll go with you."

Hey... this young man is pretty impulsive!

Li Chaoyang smiled and shook his head, stopping him, "No need, didn't you just say you were from the factory office?"

"Director Liu wouldn't send two thugs over here, would he..."

"You should stay upstairs, kid."

"Judging by your stance, a fight might break out..."

Li Chaoyang got up, packed up the documents, and walked out.

As soon as he went downstairs, there were two young men standing next to Qian Jiadong.

After taking a closer look, Li Chaoyang thought to himself, "No wonder Ren Guizhong said the people coming here were so aggressive."

These two really have that broad shoulders and thick waist that's rare these days!

Moreover, these two really do have fierce and menacing faces.

As he came down the stairs, one of the men ignored Qian Jiadong's attempts to stop him and walked over: "Section Chief Li, right?"

"Who... are you?" Li Chaoyang asked, squinting his eyes.

"Director Liu from the factory office needs you to come over."

"Factory-run?" Li Chaoyang raised an eyebrow.

"Your Director Liu is putting on quite an air, sending the two of you all over to invite me?"

"Go back and tell him he's busy and doesn't have time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person who had been standing there also came over!

"Li Chaoyang, I advise you not to be too arrogant!"

"Let me tell you! You've been reported for assaulting a worker!"

"You'd better come with us to the factory headquarters to accept your punishment, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what? You want to make a move?" Li Chaoyang's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Even if I assault a worker, it's not under your factory's jurisdiction, is it?"

As soon as he heard the man speak, he understood what was going on!

Judging from this situation, it seems that Xu Damao and Director Liu have colluded to frame me!

Xu Damao, that grandson of a bitch, does have some ideas after all...

Now Li Chaoyang was somewhat interested in going over to take a look!

At this moment, the person who had asked the question at the beginning softened his expression and said, "Section Chief Li, would you please come with us?"
