People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Qin Huairu also figured out that if she had to show weakness, it could only be with Lin Yi.

She had to act like a tigress, even if it was just bluffing, to protect her three children from being bullied and to continue living her life.

A tavern near the steel mill.

Xu Damao's father, Xu Zhenghao, is inviting Xiao Fu and Fu Zhengying, the new projectionists at the steel rolling mill, to have a drink.

Like Xu Zhenghao, Fu Zhengying was originally a projectionist at the Dongjiao Cinema.

Xu Zhenghao is also Fu Zhengying's master. Fu Zhengying's projection techniques, like Xu Damao's, were learned from Xu Zhenghao.

After Xu Damao was caught for being a hooligan towards Lou Xiao'e, he was fired from the steel rolling mill.

As a result, Xu Damao lost his worker status.

The projectionist position at the steel mill became vacant.

Xu Zhenghao helped Fu Zhengying and sent Fu Zhengying to the steel mill, where he became the new projectionist.

The projectionist at a steel mill makes much more money than the projectionist at a movie theater, and the job is also much easier.

At that time, Xu Zhenghao had considered returning to the steel mill to work as a projectionist.

After all, when the steel rolling mill was just a joint venture between the public and private sectors, Xu Zhenghao was transferred from the cinema and was the first generation projectionist of the steel rolling mill. Xu Damao was the second, and the current Fu Zhengying is the third.

However, considering the mess left by Xu Damao, Xu Zhenghao had no choice but to send the newly graduated Fu Zhengying over.

After sending Fu Zhengying to the steel rolling mill, Xu Zhenghao took a long vacation and went to western Xinjiang to visit Xu Damao who was serving his sentence.

When he went there, it happened to be a bumper cotton harvest in western Xinjiang, and everyone in the place where Xu Damao was serving his sentence went to pick cotton.

Xu Zhenghao met Xu Damao who was picking cotton for labor reform.

Picking cotton is a very hard job because the shells of the cotton bolls are sharp.

At this time, picking cotton in Xinjiang is a tough job. There is no harvesting equipment and everyone has to pick the cotton bolls one by one manually.

Often at the end of the day, my body is covered with cuts and puncture wounds.

Although you can wear more clothes for protection.

But the climate in Xinjiang is okay in the morning, but from noon to afternoon, you can't wear much clothes because it's too hot.

Because they were serving their sentences, they were tortured to death.

When Xu Zhenghao saw Xu Damao, he almost didn't recognize that this was his suave son.

Not only did he become thin and dark, but there was no light in his eyes. He looked lifeless, and had various scratches and puncture wounds of varying lengths.

Although he was angry at his son's incompetence, this was his, Xu Zhenghao's, only son after all. The moment he saw Xu Damao, Xu Zhenghao shed tears.

In order to provide Xu Damao with a relatively relaxed environment, Xu Zhenghao stayed in Western Xinjiang for almost half a month, going around inside and outside, up and down, meeting many people, giving away many gifts, and spending a lot of money.

Basically, most of the money he had saved for most of his life was spent, and Xu Damao was replaced from picking cotton bolls to operating a machine to press cotton seeds at the back.

The job of pressing cotton seeds is relatively easy, and this is the biggest thing Xu Zhenghao can do for Xu Damao at present.

Just now, Xu Zhenghao took a train from Xinjiang, heading east, and returned to Sijiu City.

As soon as he came back, Xu Zhenghao went to find Fu Zhengying to find out the situation.

Xu Zhenghao sent Fu Zhengying to the steel rolling mill without any other conditions, except that she help him keep an eye on Lin Yi and tell Xu Zhenghao about Lin Yi's movements.

"You said that the new Director of Logistics Department, Li Xinnian, has a grudge against Lin Yi?"

After listening to Fu Zhengying's message, Xu Zhenghao grasped the key points.

"People in the factory are saying that these two people are incompatible. Most recently, Liu Haizhong from the forging workshop falsely accused Lin Yi of violating a woman's will, but he failed. Many people are saying that Liu Haizhong is very close to Li Xinnian. In this case, it is possible that Li Xinnian was behind it."

Fu Zhengying talked about the news he had heard, some of which were confirmed, some were speculations, or just rumors.

He knew why Xu Zhenghao wanted him to keep an eye on Lin Yi.

But Fu Zhengying didn't care. He was not stupid enough to monitor Lin Yi's every move. There were so many people in the Public Security Department, and they were all well-trained. He would be stupid to listen to Xu Zhenghao.

Although Xu Zhenghao sent him to the steel mill as a projectionist, when he was in the cinema, Xu Zhenghao didn't treat Zhengying very well.

Now, people in the steel rolling mill compare him with Xu Damao, and they all say that Xu Damao's projection technology is better than Fu Zhengying's.

In movies these days, the sound and picture are not synchronized, so the speed of the sound on the movie equipment needs to be controlled by the projectionist. Sometimes, when the sound is missing, the projectionist needs to hold a loudspeaker and give a live commentary.

Therefore, projectionist is a skilled worker.

However, Fu Zhengying's skills were not as good as Xu Damao's, and Fu Zhengying knew the reason, because Xu Zhenghao kept a secret from him.

If Xu Damao had not gotten into trouble, the projectionist position at the steel mill would have been vacant, and Xu Zhenghao himself could not go to the steel mill, so the position would not have been Fu Zhengying's turn.

Therefore, Fu Zhengying just dealt with Xu Zhenghao in a perfunctory manner, and what he said were things that everyone in the steel rolling mill knew.

Fu Zhengying had no idea about things like the investigation team entering the factory.

"Do the master a favor and help me find where Li Xinnian lives. If you can strike up a conversation with him, tell him I want to treat him to a meal at Fengze Garden."

It was rare for Xu Zhenghao to find someone in the steel rolling mill who could arm wrestle with Lin Yi.

As for Deputy Director Nie, with whom he used to have a good relationship, the two of them had a bad relationship because of Xu Damao's incident, and now they no longer keep in touch.

"Okay, Master, I'll talk to you when I find a chance."

Fu Zhengying was busy eating and drinking.

Seeing that Fu Zhengying was not very motivated, Xu Zhenghao was angry, but he did not express it. He took out a few bills from his pocket and said, "Master, I didn't buy anything when I went to Western Xinjiang this time. You can keep these and buy something for yourself."

Seeing the money, Fu Zhengying immediately took it and said with motivation, "Don't worry, Master. I will find out the location of Li Xinnian's home as soon as possible."

"Well, just do your best."

Xu Zhenghao regretted staying in Western Xinjiang for too long this time. If he had come back earlier, perhaps he would have been able to talk to Liu Haizhong. He could have also offered some advice on Liu Haizhong's false accusation against Lin Yi.

It's not that he looks down on Liu Haizhong, it's just that Liu Haizhong is a reckless man, he may be good at charging into battle, but when it comes to stabbing people in the back, Liu Haizhong is really not that good.

Look, such a good opportunity, but it was wasted by Liu Haizhong.
