Chapter 23 1 Sing 1 Harmony
"Mr. Chen's son is such a bad person."
"Old Yi, even though it was Old Chen's son who beat you, you can't be too cowardly and let the younger generation laugh at you."
"Old Yi is kindhearted. If this happened to me, I wouldn't care whose son that boy was. I would kill him."
Several veteran fitters felt sorry for Yi Zhonghai.
"Hey, Chen Jianye is still a child, we have to give him a chance."
"It's just a little grievance. I swallow it myself. It's nothing."
Yi Zhonghai sighed, touched his cheek and left.
Jia Dongxu stayed where he was, waiting for Yi Zhonghai to leave. His expression remained unchanged: "My master doesn't bother with the younger generation, but as his disciple, I can't stand this."
"You are all old friends of my master. Chen Jianye is so disrespectful to his elders. If he comes to work in our team, we will see what happens."
"Anyone who dares to help Chen Jianye is deliberately singing against my master."
"I am just like this. If someone treats my master well, I will treat him twice as well. If someone treats my master badly, I will never forgive him."
What he said was upright and dignified.
"Dongxu, Lao Yi was right to accept you as his apprentice."
"Dongxu is a very motivated person. He will definitely be able to take over your master's job in the future."
"That kid dared to come, he must be punished."
Several old masters responded.
Jia Dongxu chatted with them for a few more words, then went back to the team garden to find Yi Zhonghai: "Master, everything is done."
"Well, now I am actually looking forward to Chen Jianye coming to take over his father's position."
Yi Zhonghai sneered, his eyes full of coldness.
He also realized that there was no room for easing the tension between him and Chen Jianye.
Just do it and that's it.
.......
Chen Jianye arrived at the door of the street office. He handed the guard a big front door, told him that he was there to do some business, and showed his ID.
The guard took the cigarette, introduced Chen Jianye a few words, and then sat back in his chair.
Chen Jianye entered the subdistrict office carrying a cloth bag.
His unique appearance immediately attracted the attention of many street office staff.
"Young man, if you want to call the police, go to the police station. We are the street office here."
A middle-aged man reminded.
"I want to apply for a letter of introduction for a job replacement certificate, not to call the police."
Chen Jianye replied.
"You want to take over the position in that factory. Who transferred it to you? Do you have the documents with you?"
the middle-aged man asked.
"I took over my father's job, but he passed away..."
Chen Jianye explained a few words, and the middle-aged man pointed and said, "Go to that window to handle it."
Chen Jianye took out a Daqianmen cigarette to express his gratitude.
"The young man has some ideas, not bad."
"Please keep the cigarette. I don't smoke."
The middle-aged man waved his hand to refuse.
Chen Jianye came to the window and took out the information.
When he explained his situation, the street office staff in charge of handling the matter was also confused: "Comrade, your father is gone, your mother is gone, and now you are the only one in your family?"
"Yes."
Chen Jianye nodded.
"What about the wound on your head?"
The staff asked again.
“Someone in the courtyard beat me.”
Chen Jianye said calmly.
"Comrade, wait a minute. I'll call our director over. Tell him what's going on."
The street office staff felt something was wrong.
Decided to escalate the matter.
Something happened in the compound below, but no one told the street office. This is a shortcoming in the street office's work.
Chen Jianye sat there and waited.
After a while, the street office staff came back and said, "Comrade, please come upstairs with me. Director Nie is waiting for you in the office."
"Then what should I do about what I want to do?"
Chen Jianye asked.
"Hey, don't worry, you're here, are you still worried that you won't be able to finish your work?"
The street office staff laughed.
Chen Jianye put the information into a cloth bag and went upstairs with the staff.
The two came to an office on the second floor.
The door is open.
The street staff walked in directly: "Director Nie, Comrade Chen Jianye is here."
Chen Jianye glanced around the office.
The office is quite large, and there are some potted plants. Judging from the branches and leaves, they must have been carefully trimmed.
There is a wooden coffee table and several stools in the middle of the office, which can be used for drinking tea or holding meetings.
At the innermost end is a large desk, behind which sits a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a Mao suit.
Behind the middle-aged man is a row of cabinets containing many documents.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Director Nie of the street raised his head and his eyes fell on Chen Jianye: "Comrade Chen Jianye, I just checked your household registration information. You live in the courtyard at No. 95 Nanguluo Lane, is that correct?"
"Yes."
Chen Jianye nodded.
"Your parents are gone, and your head was smashed by someone in the hospital. What happened? Can you tell me?"
Director Nie asked.
Without waiting for Chen Jianye to speak, he stood up with a smile and said, "Look at me, I get too involved when it comes to work."
"Come and sit down first, and we'll talk slowly."
Chen Jianye naturally would not refuse and sat on the wooden chair in front of the coffee table.
"My father..."
"My mother took care of my father's funeral. She was exhausted physically and mentally. She fell ill and passed away the day before yesterday."
"Before she left, she told me to get my father's pension from Yi Zhonghai. At that time, I thought my mother's death was caused by Yi Zhonghai's deliberate withholding of my father's pension, and I just wanted to fight him for my life."
"When Yi Zhonghai comes back, I'll chase him with a knife, and Shazhu will use a bench..."
Chen Jianye told the whole story.
In this matter, Yi Zhonghai was the one who made the first mistake. Although he acted impulsively, he could explain it away by saying that he was young and hot-tempered.
But it was what happened later that made him a victim.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Jianye explained clearly what had happened in the past few days.
"Comrade Jianye, I deeply sympathize with your situation."
"Don't worry, the street will definitely punish Yi Zhonghai and others."
"If you have any trouble in the future and Yi Zhonghai and the others don't help you, you can come directly to the street to find me."
Director Nie said seriously.
"Thank you Director Nie. I have already finalized the matter between Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and me."
Chen Jianye thanked him immediately: "This time I came to the subdistrict office, in addition to the replacement, I also have business to handle. My mother is gone, and I don't know how to handle it next."
"This is easy. First, take out your father's information and I will write you a certificate of replacement."
Director Nie said.
Chen Jianye quickly took out the information from the cloth bag.
Director Nie returned to his desk, picked up his pen and began writing, then stamped his name with the official seal.
He tore off the letter and handed it to Chen Jianye.
Chen Jianye took a glance.
It says: 'There is a street resident, Chen Jianye, whose family address is Siheyuan, No. 95, Nanguluo Lane... He meets the conditions for taking up the post, and we hope you will support him.'
The letter stated Chen Jianye's home address and situation, as well as the reason for taking over the position.
Director Nie asked the staff of the street office to take Chen Jianye downstairs to handle other business.
"Jianye, no matter what happens in the future, don't be impulsive."
"Report it step by step, even to me, and I will handle it impartially."
Director Nie gave his final instructions.
"Thank you, Director Nie. I will think twice before doing anything in the future."
Chen Jianye said sincerely.
He was indeed prepared to do so.
Inside the compound, in front of more than a dozen residents, he simply hacked the man to death with a knife.
It's enough to do this once.
If you really kill someone, it's not worth it, one life for another.
If you want to vent your anger, you might as well put on a sack or something at night.
"Okay, go and do your work."
Director Nie waved.
Chen Jianye followed the street office staff downstairs.
