Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Sha Zhu was carrying three lunch boxes and was about to leave the factory when he was stopped by the security department.

Shazhu: "Brothers, what's going on?"

Xiao Li from the Security Department: "We received a report and we need to check your lunch box"

When Sha Zhu heard about checking the lunch box, he pretended to be calm and said, "What lunch box are you checking? There's nothing in my lunch box. Get out of the way. I'm in a hurry to go home."

The two security colleagues saw that Sha Zhu was in trouble, so they asked him to open his lunch box.

Sha Zhu: "Why do you only check my lunch box? What qualifications do you have?"

Jia Dongxu, who had been sweeping the toilet all day and was about to get off work, saw Sha Zhu being stopped by the security department. He prayed in his heart that this stupid idiot could hold on, otherwise the family's food would be reduced.

Xu Damao, who was pushing his bicycle, was excited when he saw Sha Zhu being stopped. The report letter worked and the money was not wasted. You deserved it! I'll teach you a lesson. He hid behind the crowd and pinched his nose and said, "Since you didn't steal anything from the factory, why didn't you dare to open the lunch box to check?"

Xu Damao's voice fell on the crowd leaving get off work, and everyone agreed and said, "Yes, everyone knows that you, Shazhu, carry two or three lunch boxes every day. Who knows what you put in them!"

"A person of integrity has nothing to fear. The security department will definitely check after receiving the report. Am I right, everyone?" This was said by a worker who was previously shaken by Shazhu.

Then everyone agreed and started to talk about Sha Zhu. Liu Haizhong, who was off work, was very happy to see Sha Zhu being humiliated. He deserved it for Sha Zhu's disrespect for the elders and the leaders of the compound every day! He challenged his authority again and again.

Seeing everyone talking about him like this, Sha Zhu was so anxious that he was sweating! He was about to rush out of the steel mill, but when he saw the guns on the security guards, he stopped his desperate move and guarded his lunch box tightly.

When Section Chief Xiao saw that there were more and more people outside, he walked out of his office and said, "Comrade workers, we only checked Sha Zhu after receiving a letter of complaint. All the workers who are leaving get off work can line up and leave first."

As he spoke, Section Chief Xiao walked towards Sha Zhu. Seeing Sha Zhu holding the lunch box, Section Chief Xiao ordered a few people from the security department to go over and pull Sha Zhu away. Then Section Chief Xiao took the three lunch boxes from Sha Zhu's arms and opened them in front of everyone.

As Section Chief Xiao opened the lunch box, a burst of aroma filled the air, and the workers around him were drooling with greed. They looked at the dishes inside, wow, there were shredded pork with fish flavor, stewed chicken with mushrooms, and stir-fried pork with peppers. Tsk, tsk, we wouldn't dare to eat like this during the Chinese New Year!

Workers: "This idiot is stealing public property from us workers and drinking our blood! We workers will not agree to this! Why should the canteen chef deduct our food?"

"No wonder this idiot always shakes the spoon for us, it turns out he wants to eat better himself!"

"That's right, that idiot Zhu has embezzled our food!" More and more workers gathered, and the louder they denounced Sha Zhu.

Obviously, Section Chief Xiao didn't know that this fool Zhu dared to bring so many vegetables back so blatantly, so he ordered a few people to carry Sha Zhu to the security department to calm the workers down. "Everyone, listen to me. Our security department will definitely give everyone an explanation! We will definitely punish the bad elements who stole public property."

On the other side, Director Yang, who was having dinner, heard the report from his subordinates, so he stopped eating and called Li Huaide and Yi Zhonghai to the factory gate.

Yi Zhonghai looked at so many people blocking the factory gate. It seemed that Sha Zhu had angered everyone. This time, there was no moral master, the pension maniac Yi Zhonghai, to protect him. So what would he do?

Director Yang said, "Everyone, listen to me. You've been busy all day and are tired. Go back first. Tomorrow our factory leaders will hold a meeting to deal with Sha Zhu!"

Li Huaide: "Everyone, go back first. Tomorrow our canteen and logistics department will tidy up the canteen so that everyone will no longer be shaken by the spoons. There will be extra meals in the canteen this week."

When the workers saw that the factory director and the head of the logistics department had come out, they temporarily let Sha Zhu go and lined up to exit the factory!

Yi Zhonghai has been thinking about who reported Sha Zhu! The moment he saw Xu Damao, Yi Zhonghai knew it must be Xu Damao! Xu Damao was laughing so hard that he could hardly close his mouth. He was walking and talking with Liu Haizhong.

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiefang followed behind. Jia Dongxu walked with a gloomy face and cursed "Shazhu"!

After watching the excitement, Li Huaide and Yang Aimin took Yi Zhonghai back to the dinner table.

Yang Aimin said, "It seems that we must bring the supplies to the factory this week. Only by adding extra meals this week can we shut the workers up! Otherwise, it will be bad if the higher-ups find out that we are having special meals!"

Li Huaide looked at the wine in the glass and said, "Then let's do it as soon as possible this week. What do you think, Director Yi?"

Yi Zhonghai: "I will follow the arrangements of the two leaders"

Yang Aimin: "Director Li, how should we deal with this idiot Zhu? If we fire him, the matter will only get bigger and bigger. Let's come up with a charter in private so that we can handle it at the meeting tomorrow."

Li Huaide: "That's right. How long has He Yuzhu been working in the steel mill?"

Yang Aimin: "I remember that He Daqing was originally the canteen director here. Later, he ran away with the widow and He Yuzhu came to the canteen for about 6 years. He started to be the chef three years ago. At that time, he passed the eighth-level chef assessment."

Li Huaide: "Well, let's take the three-year period, excluding Sundays, that's 3 days counted as 936 days. If the average meal he takes home is 900 cents a day, then we'll fine him 720 yuan, and then adjust his salary toward that of an apprentice! Record a major demerit. What do you think, Director Yang?"

After listening to Li Huaide's statement, Director Yang thought about it and nodded, saying, "Okay! I agree with Director Li's proposal. Master Yi, do you have any good suggestions?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the two old foxes who decided Sha Zhu's fate with just a few words and said, "Director Yang, I think this is a good idea. It will allow Sha Zhu to make up for his crime and gain merit."

Security Department Sha Zhu: "Let me go, why are you arresting me?"

A security officer said, "Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? You still refuse to confess even when you are about to die. How much have you taken from the steel mill in the past few years? Don't force us to take any action."

Sha Zhu: "Bah! Why can the leaders eat meat and drink blood, but we workers can't! Besides, Director Yang agreed to let me bring my own lunch."

When Section Chief Xiao heard Sha Zhu talking about Director Yang, he pushed the door open and went in. "Sha Zhu, what did Director Yang tell you?"

Silly Zhu: "Director Yang said we can bring leftovers from the steel mill! The rule among our cooks is that cooks don't steal grains!"

Everyone in the security department was so angry that they laughed. Where did these messed up rules come from? You are right to steal things!

Section Chief Xiao ordered his men to handcuff Sha Zhu's hands to the rack, making it impossible for him to sit or stand! Most people would probably hold out for two hours before kneeling down and begging for mercy.

Section Chief Xiao walked out of the office and went to the small cafeteria. When he opened the door and saw Li Huaide there, he didn't know whether he should say it or not!

Director Yang saw that Section Chief Xiao was in a dilemma and said, "We are all family here, just tell me what you have to say."

Section Chief Xiao: "Director, this He Yuzhu said that you asked him to bring the vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang slammed the table and said, "When did I tell him to bring food? I saw a lot of leftovers in the canteen and was afraid they would be wasted. The old people told us not to waste food! That's why I asked the kitchen staff to divide up the leftovers and take them back! What did He Yuzhu bring? Does it have anything to do with leftovers?"

Section Chief Xiao nodded to show that he understood. Yang Aimin then said, "In a few days, arrange for a few trustworthy people to go to Donghai Hutong to get some supplies. Then we can give you security department comrades extra meals."

Section Chief Xiao nodded and left the canteen...
