Courtyard House: A Great Musician! Red Songs Resound Worldwide

"It just so happens that our department is holding a big meeting!"

"I was just wondering why you didn't come to the meeting..."

Holy shit....

That idiot Zhu is such a troublemaker!

Li Chaoyang's lips twitched slightly as he looked intently at He Yuzhu with his 800-degree eyes.

However, he didn't say anything, but simply nodded in response.

He's starting to think about sewing that idiot's mouth shut... He's such a fussman!

So what if you saw it? Why are you making a fuss?

Are we that close? ...

But Sha Zhu didn't notice Li Chaoyang's expression at all; instead, he came closer with a silly grin on his face.

"Section Chief Li, who was that old gentleman your publicity department invited yesterday?"

"That person has quite a presence; they must be a big shot, right?"

"Otherwise, your publicity department wouldn't have spent so much money to treat him to dinner..."

Sha Zhu acted like he knew everyone, his face practically screaming "I'm so curious!"

Although I didn't want to talk to Sha Zhu, he was all smiles, so I couldn't be rude to him, could I?

Li Chaoyang looked at Sha Zhu with a helpless expression and said in a flat tone, "Yeah, that's right."

"That old gentleman is quite important, but... you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

"He was an expert our propaganda department invited from the military to teach the choir to sing."

"Hey, an expert!" Sha Zhu grinned as soon as he heard that. Not only did he grin, but he also glanced sideways at the people next to him.

"What did I say before? I guessed it was Section Chief Li who specially invited them to organize this choir!"

"You guys still didn't believe it, but now that Section Chief Li has confirmed it, you have nothing to say, right?"

"It's just that Section Chief Li didn't let you pass the selection... What's the big deal?"

"They even went so far as to spread rumors behind Section Chief Li's back, alleging he was using public funds for lavish meals. That's truly despicable..."

Sha Zhu was quite sarcastic, and as he spoke, he looked at the young people who were already blushing with disdain.

But Li Chaoyang was stunned when he heard Sha Zhu's words.

what's the situation?

Is someone talking about me behind my back?

And they even accused me of using public funds for meals? Li Chaoyang looked at the people next to Sha Zhu...

Well, he actually knows these people!

They had all previously signed up for the choir at the publicity department.

However, they were all eliminated in the first round...

After being eliminated, these people even came to Li Chaoyang's office together.

I wanted him to consider that we all lived in the same hospital and let the few of us get through...

Simply put, they wanted to get into the choir through connections.

After all, once you join the choir, you're officially paid to sing and have fun...

Yes, many people in the factory signed up for the choir with this in mind.

Singing is something these workers see as...

That's just playing around!

Thinking back to what Sha Zhu had just said, Li Chaoyang's expression suddenly turned somewhat unfriendly.

But just as he was about to speak, the old man sitting in the middle of the octagonal table with a serious expression suddenly shouted, "Zhu Zi, this is a hospital-wide meeting. Whatever you need to say, wait until the meeting is over!"

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai speak, Sha Zhu quickly nodded, smiled somewhat sheepishly, and said, "Alright, old man!"

"Please continue...I promise I'll listen attentively!"

The old man glared at Sha Zhu fiercely, then said nothing more, because he was starting to have some doubts...

Actually, it was quite unexpected that Li Chaoyang happened to run into the large meeting being held in the institute today.

After learning that Li Chaoyang had firmly refused to visit the hospital on behalf of everyone, the old man...

This naturally makes it clear what Li Chaoyang's attitude is towards the Jia family.

Therefore, he never intended for Li Chaoyang to attend this conference from beginning to end...

Even the general meeting of the entire college that is about to begin was only convened because Li Chaoyang was not at home.

Yi Zhonghai was terrified that Li Chaoyang would sabotage their plans, causing his scheme with Jia Zhangshi to ultimately fail...

.......

That day, after Yi Zhonghai was called into the house by Jia Zhangshi, Jia Zhangshi said that she didn't need him to pay compensation.

But he needs to help the Jia family raise some funds in their courtyard house...

Given the choice between losing money himself and everyone else contributing, Yi Zhonghai naturally chose the latter.

Afterwards, he approached his second uncle, Liu Haizhong, and brought up the matter intentionally or unintentionally.

He even told his second uncle that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

If the fundraising is successful, then the news will reach the factory.

The person who organizes this fundraising event will definitely get a boost in the factory leadership's eyes...

The second uncle, who was obsessed with official positions, couldn't resist when he heard this.

Naturally, they were very excited and had been planning this fundraising event.

Today, it was only because Li Chaoyang was away that Uncle Er quickly had Uncle Yi gather everyone together.

His idea was to finalize the fundraising plan first.

Anyway, as long as everyone agreed and donated money.

Then we won't have to worry about Li Chaoyang not providing the funds...

After all, since everyone else had donated money, Li Chaoyang couldn't be an exception...

As for how to collect money from Li Chaoyang after getting the money from the people in the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai had already planned it all out.

The Third Uncle and Li Chaoyang are on good terms... so let him handle it!

Actually, Yi Zhonghai's plan was quite well thought out.

But to their utter surprise, they had barely managed to gather everyone in the compound before they even started fundraising.

Li Chaoyang suddenly returned...

With things having come to this point, after much deliberation, Yi Zhonghai finally decided to bite the bullet and continue the meeting.

Since we've already run into this, we can't just give up halfway and tell everyone the meeting is canceled.

After giving a perfunctory cough, Yi Zhonghai looked around with a serious expression and then said solemnly, "The main reason for holding this hospital-wide meeting today is because of a major event that has recently occurred in our hospital!"

"As everyone knows, Jia Xudong from our hospital is still lying in the hospital."

“His injuries were quite serious this time, when I visited him in the hospital today.”

"The doctor said he might never be able to get up again."

"In other words, Jia Xudong will likely be bedridden for a long time..."

At this point, Yi Zhonghai stopped.

Moreover, the expression on that serious face turned somewhat sorrowful.

She seemed so heartbroken that she couldn't continue speaking.

The vast majority of people present were workers from the steel rolling mill.

So when they heard the old man mention this, they naturally felt a sense of empathy.

Everyone's spirits sank... and for a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became somewhat heavy.

But at this moment, Li Chaoyang narrowed his eyes as he looked at Yi Zhonghai with amusement.

He knew what this seemingly respectable old man was about to say!

All they're going to do is suggest donating money to Jia Xudong!

Previously, when Li Chaoyang heard Yan Bugui say that his second uncle was going to organize a fundraising event for Jia Xudong.

He wondered if Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi were behind it all.

In hindsight, his judgment at the time was absolutely correct!
