Chapter 44 Explaining the Reasons to Factory Director Yang
"Then thank you very much for your understanding, Director Yang. To be honest, I would definitely be willing to help anyone else."
Besides, this deaf old lady is no good person; she used to frequently use others' names to seek personal gain.
Director Yang, you should also advise Deputy District Chief Zeng that although gratitude should be repaid, he shouldn't be used as a pawn.
Even setting aside the fact that she was just an ordinary old lady, no one, even the family of a martyr, should force others to be filial to her.
Not to mention, the other person's background wasn't exactly good either. It's just that nobody cared; she was old. Have you ever seen a good person with bound feet?
He Yuzhu left after he finished speaking. He didn't hide anything; instead, he directly brought up some things.
To avoid getting entangled here, I believe my words will make them realize the seriousness of the matter.
Otherwise, he would offend two leaders, while the deaf old lady would benefit behind his back. In particular, He Yuzhu's words pointed out the deaf old lady's family background, which was quite delicate at this time.
Deputy District Chief Zeng may not be unaware of these things, but since he was saved by the deaf old lady, he could only pretend not to know if he wanted to repay her kindness.
However, doing something like this will leave a stain on his record. It could be exposed at any time, posing a potential threat to him.
He Yuzhu's open statement indicated that he wouldn't use this to report the other party. The premise was that they couldn't force themselves to be filial to the deaf old lady.
Factory Director Yang sat there without saying a word for a long time. After listening to He Yuzhu's introduction, he felt that this was a huge trap.
Regardless of what kind of relationship Deputy District Chief Zeng has with that deaf old lady, I must not get involved, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might arise.
Besides, even if he wanted to help, there's nothing he could do now. At the steel rolling mill, Director Yang isn't the kind of person who can control everything.
Chef He Yuzhu is a valuable asset to many leaders. If someone offends He Yuzhu, it's not certain that people will stand with him.
Not to mention forcing He Yuzhu to resign, the steel mill won't be able to find another chef willing to take a pay cut.
Most importantly, He Yuzhu's cooking skills have improved again. As Director Yang, who often eats special meals, he can now experience what real delicacies are.
Thinking about these things, Director Yang felt he could remind his friend not to watch him make mistakes.
Through his conversation with He Yuzhu, Director Yang had come to have no good feelings towards Yi Zhonghai or the deaf old lady.
How can someone who schemes against their neighbor's father be a good person? It's true she saved Deputy District Chief Zeng, but that doesn't prove she's a good person.
"Hey, Lao Zeng, what's your relationship with that old lady? How much do you know about her?"
Okay, let me tell you about He Yuzhu's situation.
According to He Yuzhu, the old lady conspired with Yi Zhonghai, a sixth-level fitter from their steel mill, to scheme against someone's father.
They forced the other party's father to abandon his young daughter, and his sixteen-year-old son ran off to another place to have an affair with a widow.
If it weren't for He Yuzhu having a good mentor at Fengzeyuan, the two children would probably be starving to death by now.
Yes, the situation is basically true.
And what that old lady meant by cooking a few meals wasn't just about cooking a few meals.
The other party is clearly using your authority to force He Yuzhu to take care of her in her old age and see her off when she dies.
Old Zeng, this is a new society now. We don't have the right to force our neighbors to take care of the old lady until her death.
Okay, it's good that you know the situation. I think some favors should be repaid as much as possible, otherwise you'll be dragged down by them sooner or later.
Factory Director Yang hung up the phone and left it at that. He had done his best, and he wouldn't have bothered to warn Old Zeng if he insisted on going his own way.
Factory Director Yang also felt dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai, a level six fitter.
I've met this guy a few times. He seems like a gentleman on the surface, but I never expected him to behave like this behind the scenes.
I'm afraid we should be careful in using this person in the future, because if such a person gains power, the damage he could cause would be even greater.
He Yuzhu never expected that his words would completely ruin Director Yang's goodwill towards Yi Zhonghai.
This is also why Yi Zhonghai will never be able to be promoted to the eighth-grade worker level again.
Originally, by 58, all the senior workers at the steel rolling mill had gone to the Third Front to support the country's construction. In order to mislead the enemy, the steel rolling mill hastily promoted some of the senior workers.
In the storyline, Yi Zhonghai became an eighth-grade worker during this period. According to normal assessments, Yi Zhonghai should have been a little short, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until several eighth-grade workers left the factory before he was promoted to eighth grade.
It was precisely because Yi Zhonghai was an eighth-grade worker that he wielded immense authority in the courtyard house.
The eighth-grade worker holds a very special position in the steel rolling mill; they are someone even the factory director must respect.
He Yuzhu has now ruined Yi Zhonghai's future as an eighth-level worker, so he can no longer use this power to control others.
There is a difference between grade 7 and grade 8 workers. There are quite a few grade 7 workers in steel rolling mills. Their status in steel rolling mills is not low, but it is not considered special.
Being able to interrupt Yi Zhonghai's path to becoming an eighth-level engineer is definitely a huge victory for He Yuzhu.
Now that Yi Zhonghai is finished, Director Yang has a negative opinion of him, so he's definitely not going to have a good time.
After leaving Director Yang's place, He Yuzhu returned to his office at the guesthouse.
Sitting behind his desk, He Yuzhu was still mocking Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady. Did they think he was the "foolish Zhu," or was it the ignorance of the people in the courtyard that had influenced them?
The deaf old lady thought she was very clever, but she didn't expect that.
His words not only succeeded in making Director Yang dare not interfere with the matter anymore, but also probably made Deputy District Chief Zeng realize the seriousness of the situation.
Don't think these leaders are fools; they are very cautious when it comes to their own power and status.
They're too busy protecting their reputation to risk adding blemishes to their image.
If the deaf old woman tries to leverage his influence again, she will likely find the other party ruthless. To prevent a complete falling out, Deputy District Chief Zeng will not tolerate the deaf old woman using his name for any purpose.
The deaf old lady waited for two days, then couldn't wait to go find Deputy District Chief Zeng. She had been wanting Sha Zhu to bring her some good food.
The deaf old lady felt as uncomfortable as if she were being scratched by a cat every day because of the delicious smells from the He family's food.
When she arrived at the district government, Deputy District Head Zeng questioned her about whether she had plotted against He Yuzhu.
When the deaf old woman heard the question, her heart skipped a beat, and then she began to make excuses.
The deaf old lady knew very well that if Deputy District Chief Zeng knew about her affairs, he would definitely distance himself from her.
Now she has nothing left but this skin as her shield. If Deputy District Chief Zeng becomes distant from her, she'll truly have no one to rely on in the future.
The deaf old lady wanted to shift the blame onto others, and even planned to use Yi Zhonghai's twisted logic of thinking of others to fool her.
Unfortunately, Deputy District Chief Zeng is not a good person. Not to mention that he had already arranged for people to conduct a private investigation at the courtyard house.
Although the deaf old lady returned to the courtyard house this time with the powerful presence of the deputy district head.
But some people are still not afraid. They told the secretary of Deputy District Chief Zeng about what Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady did back then in a very moving way.
Deputy District Head Zeng had already grasped the specifics of the situation and learned that the deaf old lady was a lazy, good-for-nothing old woman.
She always wanted to eat well at every meal, and everyone in the courtyard was afraid of her coming to their door asking for food.
Deputy District Chief Zeng began to reflect, realizing that the other party had indeed saved his life.
However, this does not mean that the deaf old lady is necessarily a good person.
Even bad people might do a good deed once in a while; you can only say that you happened to meet an old lady who took pity on you and did a good deed.
It's wrong to assume she's a good person based on preconceived notions.
I can take care of her, but I shouldn't have any other thoughts about it.
Just as Comrade He Yuzhu said, no one has the right to force a neighbor to empty their savings to support an elderly neighbor in her old age and see her off in death.
Even if Deputy District Chief Zeng hadn't said he wouldn't have done it, he would have wanted to force someone to do it, but he also had to consider whether he would be reported.
This is a new country with a new atmosphere, and he cannot rely on his power to force others to blindly obey his orders.
The deaf old lady left Deputy District Chief Zeng's office, looking very disappointed as she left.
She hadn't expected the other party to investigate her past so quickly. Of course, it wasn't that she doubted the other party's abilities, but rather that she felt the other party shouldn't have investigated her.
The deaf old woman believed she had performed her acting quite well in front of Deputy District Chief Zeng. With her kind face, who would think she was a bad person?
The other party's meaning today is very clear: considering the debt of gratitude for saving her life, they can give her some appropriate care.
However, it was impossible for her to use the other party's power to force He Yuzhu to take care of her.
Deputy District Head Zeng finally advised her that as people get older, they should be more content with their lot.
Stop scheming about this and that all the time, or you might end up ruining yourself one day.
Deputy District Chief Zeng deeply regretted going to see the old lady. Or rather, if he had found her, he could have simply given her some supplies and told her to stay obediently in the nursing home.
She's only just come out and she's already resorting to tricks. She really deserves to be schemed against.
Deputy District Head Zeng had become wary of the deaf old lady, and her attempts to use this tactic against her were no longer effective.
The deaf old lady quickly regained her confident expression upon returning to the courtyard house.
When others asked where she had gone, the deaf old lady loudly told them that she had gone to the district government to see Xiao Zeng.
This startled the unsuspecting passersby, and the birds in the courtyard paid even more attention to the deaf old lady.
As a result, people unconsciously began to fear the deaf old lady, which foreshadowed Yi Zhonghai's praise of her.
The deaf old lady would certainly not let anyone know what she had experienced with Deputy District Chief Zeng.
Even Yi Zhonghai thought that Deputy District Chief Zeng was very grateful to the deaf old lady who saved his life.
He Yuzhu disobeyed his superiors' orders and took on the responsibility of caring for the deaf elderly woman.
The deaf old lady explained that although Xiao Zeng was very angry, he couldn't immediately take action against He Yuzhu.
However, whenever He Yuzhu makes a mistake in the future, Deputy District Chief Zeng will deal with him severely.
At that time, Deputy District Chief Zeng could then suggest that He Yuzhu take care of the deaf old lady.
Yi Zhonghai thought that was the right way; he also loved to find someone's weakness and then use it to his advantage.
