Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 16: First Visit to the Steel Rolling Mill

Li Pingan rode his bicycle and brought Zhang Zhiyong's sister-in-law to the gate of the steel mill. Two young guards stood on both sides, carrying long guns. The defense was very strict during this period.

Li Pingan stopped the car and got out quickly. He pushed it to the front and said to one of the people, "Hello, comrade. I'm here to handle the replacement procedures. Who do you want to contact?"

The guard replied: "Register here first, and then we will take you to the personnel department to ask."

Li Pingan parked his bicycle next to the guard room and registered with Zhang Zhiyong's sister-in-law. Then a guard took them to the factory.

It was working time, and not many people were around in the factory. Li Pingan looked around this legendary place in the online literature world. The gray-walled factory buildings were in a mess. Thick smoke was still coming out of the factory building at the back, probably the steelmaking workshop. Compared with the factory where he screwed screws in his previous life, this was really like the difference between a high-rise building and a rural earthen house. It was not easy to think about Longguo. It developed little by little from scratch.

Soon, the guard brought them to a three-story building. He said to Li Pingan, "The Personnel Department is on the right side of the second floor. Go up by yourselves."

Li Pingan quickly said: "Thank you, comrade"

The two of them went up the stairs to the second floor and found an office with a sign for personnel. Li Pingan went up and knocked on the door. A female voice came from inside, "Come in."

When I opened the door, I saw eight desks inside, two of which were placed together, with five or six people sitting inside working.

The woman near the door, probably in her thirties, asked, "Who are you looking for? What's the matter?"

Li Pingan stepped forward and said, "Sister, I'm here to handle the replacement procedures for my father. Who should I contact?"

Li Hongmei blushed when she heard the handsome boy calling her sister. She rolled her eyes at Li Pingan and pointed at a middle-aged man inside and said, "Go there and ask him to handle it for you."

Li Ping'an thanked him and walked towards the man.

At this time, Wang Xinmin also looked at Li Pingan who came to see him. Li Pingan stepped forward and said, "Hello, comrade, I want to handle the procedures for my father's replacement."

Wang Xinmin nodded and said, "What's your father's name? What position does he hold?"

Li Pingan replied: "My father's name is Li Shanyou, he is a cleaner in the cleaning department. He had an accident a month ago."

Wang Xinmin said: "Oh, I see. I'll check for you. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around, took out a notebook from the cabinet next to him and started looking through it.

After a while, Wang Xinmin found it. He looked at the record and said to Li Pingan, "Well, it happened last month. Why did you come to handle it just now?"

Li Pingan replied: "Not long after my father's accident, my mother also passed away, so it took time."

Wang Xinmin didn't expect Li Ping'an to have such an experience, and he felt quite sympathetic. He said, "It's okay, it's not too late now. Are you planning to come to work by yourself?"

As he said this, he looked at the woman next to him.

Li Pingan said, "I'm sorry, comrade. I'm still in high school and can't come for the time being. This is my aunt. I want her to take my father's place. Is that okay with you?"

Wang Xinmin had seen this kind of thing before, so he didn't ask any more questions. He said, "Sure, bring me the letter of introduction and some paperwork that the factory gave you and I'll handle it for you."

Then Li Ping'an took out the letter of introduction from his pocket. In fact, he took it out from the space. Now all his things are placed in the space, so it is very convenient to take them.

The formalities were completed quickly, and then someone took Li Pingan and the others to the cleaning department to report. They also received some labor protection supplies, and they could go to work directly tomorrow.

The two of them took their things and went out of the door. Li Ping'an just found out that Zhang Zhiyong's sister-in-law was Wu Cuicui, who sat behind him. Wu Cuicui kept thanking Li Ping'an. He was a little excited. Yes, now that the urban population is large, it is too difficult for rural people to apply for urban household registration. And he is a formal worker, earning more than 20 yuan a month. Now only those with an average income of less than 5 yuan per person in the city are considered poor households. A person has a living expense of about 6 or 7 yuan a month, and this is for people who live a normal life.

Returning to the street office again, Li Ping'an put his bicycle back in its place and went upstairs to Director Wang's office.

After entering, they saw Director Wang and his elder brother were there, and they both asked quickly, "Ping An, is everything done?"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "It's all done. I'll officially start work tomorrow. Look, the work clothes have been collected."

As he said this, he pointed to the big bag in Wu Cuicui's arms behind him.

Wu Cuicui also had a look of joy on her face, and she quickly put her things on a chair beside her and started to organize them.

When Director Wang saw that the matter was done, he said to them, "Well, now that it's done, you two can go home and take your time. Sister-in-law, you should pay more attention when you go to work in the future. This will make life much better at home."

Wu Cuicui said to Director Wang: "We are family, so I won't say much. You and Zhiyong can come to my house someday and I will cook a few dishes for you and let the two brothers have a few drinks."

Then she turned to Li Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, come over when the time comes. I'll make you something delicious."

Li Pingan replied: "Thank you, Auntie, but I have to go to school in the next two days. When I have a holiday, I will definitely go and try the delicious food you made."

Director Wang also said: "Okay, Ping An is going to take the college entrance examination soon, let's talk about it later. You two go back and settle down well, you won't have time when you go to work tomorrow."

After the two of them left, Director Wang said to Li Ping'an with an embarrassed look on his face, "Ping'an, your uncle Zhang just called and asked you to go to his place. Something has happened with Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu, and he will explain it to you when you go."

After that, he patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder and continued: "Don't blame me and your Uncle Zhang. Sometimes we are in trouble too. When you go there, try to listen to your Uncle Zhang. He will fight for you."

After hearing this, Li Pingan roughly guessed what happened. It was probably the deaf old lady who exerted her strength. I didn't expect that this old lady really had such great power that Director Wang and her husband couldn't resist. It seems that I have to think of a safe way to deal with this old lady in the future.

Besides, Li Ping'an never intended to let them go to jail. He always thought that he should avenge himself.

Thinking of this, he said to Director Wang, "It's okay, Aunt Wang. I'll be there right away. Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss in this matter, so it's good enough to be able to do this."

Director Wang nodded and said, "Then you can go over now. The sooner you finish the work, the sooner you can go to school to study. The college entrance examination is coming soon, so you should hurry up."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Wang."

Li Pingan thanked Director Wang and left the subdistrict office. On the way to the Chengdong Public Security Bureau, he was wondering what he was asked to do. If the person had great power, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu would have gone home. If the person had insufficient power, the case would have been closed, and he, the client, would have no way around it. Would he be able to control these two beasts by then?

It is said on the Internet that Yi Zhonghai has a high salary and has saved a lot of money. He also embezzled the living expenses that He Daqing sent to He Yushui. From the memory of the original body, it is known that although Yi Zhonghai and his wife have a high salary, they usually do not spend money recklessly. They are all simple meals, even worse than the second uncle's family. The second uncle's salary is not as high as his, and there are more people in his family, but he still eats two eggs every day. The first uncle and his wife are reluctant to eat and wear, don't they save all their money?

It wasn't too far away, and he arrived at the East City Public Security Bureau in a short while. After registering at the door and entering the office area, he didn't see Xiao Wang, who had received him last night. He probably had finished his night shift and was resting. He said hello to the person in front of him and went straight to Zhang Zhiyong's office on the second floor.

After knocking on the door and entering, I saw Zhang Zhiyong sitting alone behind his desk smoking, and the office was also filled with smoke.

Li Pingan called out "Uncle Zhang"

Zhang Zhiyong nodded to Li Ping'an, pushed the Peony cigarette on the table towards him and asked, "Would you like to smoke?"

Li Pingan didn't smoke much in his previous life, and he didn't have a smoking addiction. In this life, his family was poor and he couldn't afford cigarettes, and he was still in school and didn't dare to smoke. So he couldn't smoke now, or else how would others look at him.

So he quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhang, I don't smoke."

Zhang Zhiyong didn't care and said, "It's better not to smoke. Once you start smoking this stuff, you can't put it down. It's not good for your health."

Then he said to Li Pingan, "Pingan, someone has reported last night's incident. Uncle Zhang is sorry for you, but I may not be able to handle those two people. Although they don't have to go to jail, I also said that they can only get out after getting your forgiveness. Uncle Zhang can only do this for you."

Li Pingan felt better after hearing this, as it was not contrary to his expectations. It seemed that the person behind the scenes was just like that.

He said to Zhang Zhiyong, "Uncle Zhang, look at what you said. I didn't suffer any loss last night, and it was all thanks to you for helping me. I can't thank you enough, so how can I blame you? Don't worry about this matter, just let it go."

Seeing how sensible Li Ping'an was, Zhang Zhiyong felt even worse. Last night, he had promised to help Li Ping'an, but today he had to let him go. He always felt a little guilty.

He said directly, "Ping An, you listen to me now. I'll ask them to ask you for forgiveness, and they need your letter of understanding. But you can't just write it for free. It's up to you how much it's going to cost, but I suggest you ask for more. Their families don't understand the situation yet, so I've made it sound serious. When you go back, just say the same thing, scare them first and then negotiate terms."

Li Ping'an looked at Zhang Zhiyong with surprise. He didn't expect that this seemingly serious person would have the same sinister side as him.

Zhang Zhiyong felt a little uncomfortable with Li Ping'an's look, so he reached out and slapped him. "What are you looking at me with? I'm doing this for your own good, you little brat, you're still not satisfied?"

Li Pingan said quickly: "How can that be? I am just excited. I know you are doing this for my own good. Thank you so much, Uncle Zhang."

Zhang Zhiyong waved his hand and said, "Then you should get out of here right away. Try to finish it today as soon as possible. If you put it off until tomorrow, the higher-ups will probably ask about it, and then neither of us will be in any good situation."

There was no choice but Li Ping'an thanked Zhang Zhiyong and went back to wait for the deaf old lady and others to come.

What happened during this day? I have been here for two days and there has not been a single peaceful day.
