Siheyuan: Revenge of the Stupid Pillar

He Yuzhu explained, "Liu Haizhong is a seventh-level fitter in the factory. He's fat and has big ears. He even toasted you on the day of my first wedding."

Li Huaide smiled suddenly: "I remember, is it the fat guy who often fought with Yi Zhonghai before?"

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "Yes, that's the fat guy."

"This guy is a complete power-hungry person. He's almost crazy about becoming an official. As long as you are willing to promote him, he will be an obedient dog in your hands. He will bite whoever you tell him to bite."

"This guy has come to me many times in order to get his job back. He said he would give everything to get his job back."

"Brother Li, if you promote him, you will not only get an obedient dog, but you can also extort a lot of money from him."

"This guy was already a seventh-level fitter a few years ago. He must have quite a bit of savings."

Li Huaide pretended to be calm and said, "I don't care about money or anything else..."

He Yuzhu said anxiously: "Brother Li, you don't care, but I do. I love money the most."

Li Huaide said dissatisfiedly: "Zhu Zi, can you please listen to me? It is not a good habit to interrupt the leader."

He Yuzhu hurriedly apologized with a smile: "Brother Li, you are right. Please continue talking. I promise not to interrupt."

Li Huaide nodded in satisfaction and continued, "What I want to say is that I don't care about money or anything else. What I care about is his ability to get things done."

He Yuzhu said confidently: "Brother Li, you can rest assured about this. Liu Haizhong, that fat guy, is ruthless and will do anything except good things."

Upon hearing this, Liu Haizhong smiled with satisfaction: "This is the talent I need. The task of recruiting him is left to you."

He Yuzhu said readily, "No problem. So what position should we give him?"

Li Huaide lowered his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you think?"

He Yuzhu was silent for a moment, then said, "How about the deputy patrol captain? Let him handle all the dirty work like arresting and torturing people."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide smiled brightly and praised:

"Zhu Zi, you are a good judge of talent. This position is indeed very suitable for Liu Haizhong."

He Yuzhu rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly, "Brother Li, what about my position as the director of the logistics department?"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Don't worry, within a month, I promise to promote you to the director of the logistics department."

He Yuzhu said happily: "Thank you, Brother Li!"

……

That night.

After dinner, He Yuzhu came to Liu Haizhong's house.

Liu Haizhong was eating at this time. Seeing He Yuzhu, he said enthusiastically:

"Zhu Zi, have you eaten? Do you want to drink something with me?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Uncle Liu, I've already eaten. After you finish eating, come to my house. I have something to discuss with you."

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He guessed that He Yuzhu was looking for him because of his official position. How could he sit still? He pushed his rice bowl aside and said firmly:

"Zhu Zi, I've already eaten. We can talk now if you have anything to say."

Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu glanced at Wang Shufen and the others. The meaning was very clear, that is, it was not convenient to say it in front of Wang Shufen and the others.

Liu Haizhong understood instantly and said, "Zhu Zi, go back first. I'll come find you after dinner."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, turned around and left Liu Haizhong's house.

But as soon as He Yuzhu stepped into his house, Liu Haizhong arrived and asked impatiently:

"Zhu Zi, has my reinstatement been resolved?"

He Yuzhu did not answer immediately, but said to Ding Qiunan:

"Qiu Nan, go back to the bedroom first. I have something to discuss with Uncle Liu."

Ding Qiunan smiled slightly: "Zhu Zi, Uncle Liu, you guys chat, I'm going to rest first."

He Yuzhu saw Ding Qiunan close the bedroom door and said:

"Uncle Liu, your job has indeed been resolved, but it's not a reinstatement, but a new one."

Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to ask, "What position?"

"Deputy Director of the Patrol Team!" He Yuzhu said concisely.

Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew that the steel rolling mill was now under the control of the G Committee, and the patrol team was one of the most important departments of the G Committee. The patrol team was responsible for arresting people and ransacking homes, and they were very powerful.

"Great! This deputy patrol captain is much more prestigious than a workshop supervisor. I want this position."

He Yuzhu saw Liu Haizhong's eyes full of desire and greed, and he poured cold water on him:

"Uncle Liu, don't be too happy yet. This position of deputy patrol captain is very popular because it not only has great power but also has a lot of benefits..."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"Zhu Zi, I'm going to decide on the position of deputy captain of the patrol team. If you want any advice, just tell me directly. I will never hesitate to ask for money or things."

He Yuzhu was delighted when he heard this, secretly sighing that this old guy was smart.

"Uncle Liu, getting this deputy captain position won't be cheap. It'll cost at least 1,500 yuan. You have to think carefully."

Liu Haizhong said without hesitation: "Don't think about it, I will go get the money for you tomorrow."

He Yuzhu was shocked to see Liu Haizhong being so decisive, and wondered:

"Fuck, it's too little."

Having said that, He Yuzhu couldn't change his words and said seriously:

"Uncle Liu, the position of deputy captain of the patrol team is being watched by many people, so you must not say anything nonsense about spending money to smooth things over."

"If this matter were to be exposed, not only would you lose your position as deputy captain of the patrol team, but you would also offend many leaders."

Liu Haizhong swore solemnly: "Zhu Zi, don't worry, I promise I won't tell my wife or son."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "That's good!"

"Uncle Liu, I want to emphasize again that it's best for you to keep this matter of buying an official position to yourself forever. Not only can you not talk about it now, but you can't talk about it in the future. Even if you do, no one will acknowledge it, and you will also offend many people invisibly."

The reason why He Yuzhu repeatedly asked Liu Haizhong to keep the secret was because most of the money Liu Haizhong gave him would fall into his pocket.

Liu Haizhong said seriously, "Zhu Zi, don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter."

He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I'm glad you know! Then give me the money as soon as possible so I can smooth things over for you. After all, this position is so sought-after, and many people are secretly working behind the scenes."

Liu Haizhong said firmly: "I will go to get the money tomorrow morning."

"Zhu Zi, the official position issue is troublesome. When everything is settled, uncle will definitely benefit from you."

He Yuzhu pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Uncle, I don't like what you said. I helped you because of our relationship, not for any benefit."

"Snapped!"

Seeing He Yuzhu was angry, Liu Haizhong raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, saying flatteringly:

"Zhu Zi, uncle is not good at talking, so don't bother with me!"

He Yuzhu nodded slightly and said, "Uncle, it's getting late, I won't keep you here any longer."

"Zhu Zi, that uncle is gone, you should go to bed early."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he slowly pushed his way out of He Yuzhu's house.
