Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Yan Bugui got up early today because a school leader was attending his class. He worked until late last night to prepare the lesson, hoping to catch the leader's eye and see if he could be promoted to the next level and become the head of the grade.

Yan Bugui even took out new clothes that he hadn't worn for many years. After arriving at school, Yan Bugui arranged for several students to start cleaning the classroom. After a while, the bell for class rang, and Yan Bugui started teaching at the podium with a book in his hand.

After several leaders from higher-level education departments took their seats, Yan Bugui began to lecture even more vigorously. Several leaders nodded as they listened, and Yan Bugui occasionally asked students who usually studied well to answer questions.

The class was finally over. Several leaders of the education department had a good impression of Yan Bugui and told the principal that Comrade Yan Bugui was a role model for a teacher. At this time, several people from the security department came over and said to Yan Bugui, "Teacher Yan, we have a letter of complaint about you."

This frightened Yan Bugui so much that he quickly asked, "Comrade security guard, what is this letter of denunciation?"

The leaders of the Education Bureau and the principal who were still present were all stunned. What was going on? How did Yan Bugui have a letter of complaint? Principal Li was so annoyed that he wanted to beat Yan Bugui up.

Principal Li gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher Yan, you must follow the comrades from the security department to investigate the report letter thoroughly."

When several leaders of the Education Bureau saw that Yan Bugui was reported, they also wanted to go and see what was going on.

When they arrived at the security department, the head of the security department took out the letter of complaint! The leaders of the Education Bureau took the letter of complaint and looked at their faces, unable to suppress their anger. One of the leaders said to Principal Li, "You should take a good look at how such a person could appear in our teaching team."

Principal Li took the letter of complaint and started reading it. After reading it, Principal Li ordered someone to call these students over for questioning.

After the students arrived, the leaders of the Education Bureau began to question them one by one, saying, "Students, don't be afraid. I am asking you now! Has this teacher Yan ever accepted anything from you or your parents?"

The group of students looked at Yan Bugui, shook their heads and said "no".

The leader called Yan Bugui out and then talked to each student individually.

The students who were questioned began to reveal that Yan Bugui accepted gifts from his classmates and hinted to their parents in both explicit and covert ways that he wanted red envelopes.

The leaders of the Education Bureau and the school were furious and decided to fire Yan Bugui. But Principal Li still pleaded for Yan Bugui, saying, "Leader, Mr. Yan has been teaching in the school for so many years. Considering his years of service, just let him sweep the floor and wait until he is good at teaching before evaluating him as a teacher."

The education leader also agreed with Principal Li’s method, but warned Principal Li not to do it again, otherwise the principal would also be implicated.

Principal Li nodded quickly and told the Dean of Studies to call Yan Bugui in and said, "Yan Bugui! You are so bold as to accept bribes from students. Now we are going to expel you."

Yan Bugui was so frightened that he quickly said, "School leaders, Education Bureau leaders, I know I was wrong. Can you please not fire me considering that I have been teaching for so many years? I am willing to continue to contribute to the school. I beg you! I will teach wholeheartedly in the future."

Seeing Yan Bugui crying, Principal Li said, "We were originally going to fire you, but now Director Guo from the Education Bureau said that we will temporarily let you sweep the floor at school, and your salary will be reduced to that of an intern teacher. We will decide whether you can teach after the assessment is completed! Are you willing?"

Yan Bugui nodded hurriedly. He didn’t dare to say no at this time!

Several leaders of the Education Bureau left with their people, leaving Yan Bugui and Principal Li. Principal Li patted Yan Bugui on the shoulder and said, "You've really caused me a lot of trouble."

Yan Bugui hurriedly apologized to the leader, the principal waved his hand, and Yan Bugui left the office.

On the way back, Yan Bugui couldn't figure out who reported him. Was it Yi Zhonghai? Or Sha Zhu?

Yan Bugui's salary is not low, he can get 49 yuan a month, not 35.9 as he said. But for the sake of his own stinginess, he still has to pretend to be poor.

Now his salary has really become that of a trainee teacher, which is only 29.5. Yan Bugui suddenly felt like crying, not because he was sad about making a mistake, but because of the money.

Yan Bugui thought about it and thought that the person most likely to report him was Liu Haizhong.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui gnashed his teeth and said, "You Liu Haizhong, just wait." Yan Bugui felt that he should fight back.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai, who had arrived at the factory, had already processed the last bearing and started assembling. He asked the technical department for a few people to help him assemble the machine, and while assembling it, he told them the specific functions and installation methods of these parts.

Time passed quickly and it was already afternoon. Xu Damao had been in high spirits recently. Not only did he marry a new wife, but he also got to know Li Huaide because of his wife.

Li Huaide planned to invite Xu Damao and several logistics cadres to have a drink in the cafeteria today, and Xu Damao naturally nodded in agreement.

Today, Sha Zhu learned that Li Huaide was going to eat in the small canteen, and he thought to himself that he should put in his utmost effort in cooking so that Li Huaide would be happy and transfer him to be the head chef.

As several logistics officers sat down with Xu Damao, Li Huaide said, "Damo, how is it in the Propaganda Department?"

Xu Damao: "Director Li, we are good in the Propaganda Department, but we can't use our talents! I want to follow your footsteps more."

Li Huaide: "I heard that your father-in-law is in charge of the Grain Bureau?"

Xu Damao immediately understood Li Huaide's intention and began to say, "Director Li, I should go to my father more often during this period to talk to him about the difficulties of our steel mill! The food shortage is severe."

Li Huaide laughed out loud when he heard the satisfying news. In order to make Li Huaide remember him, Sha Zhu even stopped Liu Lan from serving the dishes. He carried the dishes to the canteen respectfully like Li Dequan.

When they arrived at the canteen, Sha Zhu opened the door and saw Li Huaide and Xu Damao. Immediately, Sha Zhu increased the strength of his grip on the plate.

When Xu Damao saw that it was Sha Zhu who served the dishes, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Sha Zhu and looked at him provocatively.

Sha Zhu put the dishes on the table and greeted Li Huaide. Li Huaide said, "He Yuzhu, just focus on cooking. Let Comrade Liu Lan serve the dishes."

Sha Zhu nodded, secretly cursing his leader for not understanding his good intentions.

As Sha Zhu left the canteen, Xu Damao picked up his chopsticks, tasted the food and found that Sha Zhu's cooking skills were indeed good.

Putting down his chopsticks, Xu Damao picked up the wine glass and said to Li Huaide, "It is my great honor to drink at the same table with all the leaders. I, Xu Damao, have the old rules for toasting, including the big one, the small two, the five and the ten."

A logistics officer nearby asked, "Why is it that there are three big and two small things?"

Xu Damao: "This big one means our leader is big. What is a leader? The leader is the heaven. He is the heaven of our factory. If a big shot drinks one cup, then a small person like me has to drink three cups."

Li Huaide: "Then I'll drink three cups."

Xu Damao: "When three equals nine, I have to drink nine cups"

Li Huaide burst into laughter, and the atmosphere at the table was livened up by Xu Damao.

At the same time, Sha Zhu in the kitchen did not go back, but waited for Xu Damao! He was sure that Xu Damao would get drunk...
