Chapter 444 One night back before liberation

As soon as Lin Chen entered the central courtyard, Jia Dongxu came up to him with a thermos.

"Morning, Uncle Lin. I have hot water."

Lin Chen couldn't help but glance at the enthusiastic opponent. This guy originally had five points of sinister value, but now it has been reset to zero. He even has ten more points of affinity...

Lin Chen didn't know what was going on at the moment. He had already glanced at everyone when he came back last night.

Even though Lin Chenbao and the others came back, there was still no major change in everyone. How could Jia Dongxu change so much after one night?

"Dongxu, what's wrong with you today? Did Comrade Ma Lan beat you up?"

Jia Dongxu smiled awkwardly when Lin Chen teased him.

"No, no, Uncle Lin, I formally apologize to you. It's all my fault these years, I didn't know what was good for me. I will never bear a grudge against you again..."

Listening to Jia Dongxu's apology, Lin Chen really didn't know what he meant. Was he afraid of being punished... and came here to beg for mercy?

"Stop, stop, stop it. I accept your apology..."

Just when Jia Dongxu wanted to thank him again, Sha Zhu also came to curry favor with Lin Chen.

When Sha Zhu saw Jia Dongxu being courteous, he thought that Jia Dongxu wanted to ask for mercy. So he also came to ask Lin Chen to intercede...

In order to increase his bargaining chips, this guy even brought out his sister Yu Shui.

"Uncle Lin, Yu Shui has a very good relationship with my Aunt Jing Ru!"

Qin Huairu's sister, people of Sha Zhu's generation should call her aunt.

Qin Jingru is young and of high rank, so usually no one would call her. But now, in order to plead for mercy, Sha Zhu had to call her!

When Lin Chen heard Sha Zhu even called him "Auntie", he realized that the boy was really scared.

"Don't try to get close to me, kid. I almost lost face trying to protect you. Ask your father and Lao Xu how I asked Director Xing for help."

No matter how Lin Chen scolded him, Sha Zhu just kept smiling silly.

More and more people gathered in the Central Court...

Everyone felt reassured only after Lin Chen promised not to fire them.

As long as you are not fired from your job, you can fine me!

This matter involves Li Huaide's people and Chief Engineer Zhang's people, the factory will definitely not fire them.

Rolling mill

After the regular meeting

Secretary's Office

Secretary Wan showed Lin Chen the documents issued by the police station. Now Secretary Wan had a frown on his face.

"It's just nonsense, it's embarrassing to be out of the factory! We must punish him severely..."

Secretary Wan looked at the list again and sighed again. The list was full of people from Li Huaide and Chief Engineer Zhang. There were also people from Lin Chen's courtyard...

"Director Lin, what do you think about this?"

Secretary Wan didn't want to offend Lin Chen, but he didn't have to worry about Li Huaide and Zhang Yunpei.

So he wanted to ask what Lin Chen thought... Secretary Wan was the only one in the factory who understood the connections behind Lin Chen, and that was no joke.

Lin Chen did not hesitate: "Secretary Wan, I think this matter cannot be taken lightly. Otherwise, what if they go out and get into trouble in the future?"

Lin Chen wrote a list for Secretary Wan on the spot, and the punishment plans for everyone were on it.

"Secretary Wan, my opinions are all here. Do you think there is anything that needs to be revised?"

one minute later

"I think it's good and no changes are needed. I'll report it this afternoon. This time we must punish them severely, as a warning to others. Let's see who dares to mess around again... The steel mill is about to be promoted to a department-level unit, and we can't let one bad apple spoil the whole barrel."

……

Secretary Wan was afraid that Lin Chen would be embarrassed because of the involvement of people from the Siheyuan. He took it over himself...

He personally called over the workshop director Wang Yuanhang and the publicity section chief Sun Zebin to inform them of the punishment results...

Lunch break

Wang Yuanhang convened a meeting of workshop team leaders.

The four main culprits Liu Haizhong, Tong Zhi, Guo Dapiezi and Yi Zhonghai were all dismissed as team leaders... and are not allowed to take the exam for one year.

All participants were fined ten yuan each and required to compensate the tavern for its losses.

The accomplices Jia Dongxu and others were all forced to clean toilets for a month, and only received living allowances without basic wages. They were also not allowed to take the work-level exam this year...

After hearing the punishment announced by the workshop director, Liu Haizhong almost fainted from anger...

He immediately looked at Guo Dapiezi. Didn’t this guy ask Li Huaide for mercy?

Guo Dapiezi lowered his head and didn't dare to look Liu Haizhong in the eye... He was severely scolded by Li Huaide in the morning.

The police station has already informed Secretary Wan, and Li Huaide is completely helpless.

The main reason was that he promised not to do it again when he begged for mercy last time, but now he is even more crazy than the last time he fought in the workshop... He even smashed the pub. Li Huaide was too embarrassed to beg for mercy again...

Jia Dongxu's scalp went numb after hearing this. He had no chance of getting a second-level worker this year...

Liu Daleng didn't feel anything at all. He wasn't going to take the exam this year...but cleaning toilets for a month was really disgusting.

I almost didn't make it last a month last time, and now this is happening again. Can't you change to some other punishment?

Wang Yuanhang severely criticized everyone again...

……

Publicity Section

After Xu Damao received the penalty notice... he was dumbfounded.

Now I have just learned how to project movies, and I was kicked back to the hardware warehouse for a year of transformation to observe my performance... Whether I can return to the Propaganda Department is still tentative. The key is that I have to clean the toilets for a month before returning to the warehouse...

"Section Chief Sun, I...I am innocent! I was tricked by Liu Haizhong and his gang...Look, my eyes are swollen!"

Sun Zebin slammed the table and pointed at Xu Damao and started to curse. He was scolded by Secretary Wan and he just took it out on Xu Damao.

"Get lost! Go talk to Secretary Wan. You've got me killed... and you're still crying foul. Get lost... You're no longer under the Propaganda Department's jurisdiction."

Xu Damao didn't dare to go to the secretary to appeal for justice, so he took the penalty notice to his father to seek help...

……

A canteen

Nan Yi almost laughed to death when he heard the punishment for Sha Zhu.

"Chef He, you are a cook and you go to clean the toilet... who the hell will eat the food you cook from now on?"

If the canteen director hadn't been there, Sha Zhu would have wanted to beat Nan Yi up again. This guy is really good at making people angry...

"Director Liu, can you change the punishment? It's really awkward for a cook to clean the toilet... Can you clean the factory area for two months?"

Director Liu glared at Sha Zhu, then left after leaving the penalty notice...without paying any attention to him at all.

He causes trouble in the cafeteria all day long, and Director Liu wishes Sha Zhu would never come back.

Just like that, everyone returned to the time before liberation...

……

Evening

On the way from get off work

He Daqing and Xu Wude sang and shouted at each other, almost spraying Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai to death.

You said you were going to cheer, but you ended up losing half of your courtyard. Three hundred dollars of your own money just went down the drain...

Xu Wude wanted to beat them both to death now, and this time he suffered a loss again. He couldn't even talk about the matter of three hundred dollars.

Lao Xu felt that Liu Haizhong was sent by God to punish him. The yellow croaker was gone, and now the yard was gone. Who the hell could he go to for justice...

"Old Xu, you should speak with conscience. Both my father and I from the Liu family are implicated... and my cadre position has also been removed. Did I do this on purpose?"
