Chapter 63 Transfer Order
Li Jiandong said this and sat down and started writing the transfer order.

The Political Department is responsible for recruiting and transferring cadres, while the Production Department can transfer internal workers.

Of course, transfers like this definitely require Director Wang's approval, but Director Wang would certainly not protect a worker like Yi Zhonghai who had made serious mistakes and been demoted.

Yi Zhonghai repeatedly caused trouble in the compound, and although Li Jiandong did not take him seriously, he was like a fly flying in front of him. After a long time, everyone would want to kill him with a fly swatter.

The slag flushing workshop is a relatively dangerous workshop in a steel rolling mill.

Not only does it require high-altitude work, but there are also risks of high temperatures and explosions. Most importantly, the salary is no higher than that of other workshops. It ranks third among the workshops that least people want to work in.

Li Jiandong arranged Yi Zhonghai to work in the slag flushing workshop, which was clearly a retaliation against him.

After writing the transfer order, Li Jiandong went to see Director Wang in person to get his signature.

As soon as Director Wang saw that it was Yi Zhonghai, he realized that Li Jiandong actually had a temper.

However, he would definitely not make things difficult for Li Jiandong for the sake of Yi Zhonghai and just sign and seal it directly.

Xiao Sun took the transfer order to the fitter workshop 1 and went straight to Director Cao to show him the transfer order. Then the two of them came to Yi Zhonghai together.

"Old Yi, stop working, you've been transferred."

As soon as Director Cao opened his mouth, Yi Zhonghai was confused.

When the other workers nearby saw someone from the production department coming, they all pricked up their ears to listen. When they heard that Yi Zhonghai was going to be transferred, they all became very gossipy.

"Old Yi is going to be transferred? Where is he being transferred to?"

"Li Jiandong has been promoted to deputy director of the production department. Director Ma of Workshop 7 is still short of an assistant after being promoted. Is Lao Yi going to be transferred to Workshop 7 as deputy director?"

The workers around Yi Zhonghai were all a little excited. One workshop had two workshop directors in succession, and both of them were promoted. This was so exciting.

Jia Dongxu frowned slightly.

Although he didn't want Li Jiandong to make an exception and open a back door for him, he was definitely not convinced to let Yi Zhonghai be the deputy director of Workshop No. 7.

Yi Zhonghai's locksmith skills were average, and Jia Dongxu felt that he had already surpassed him.

Yi Zhonghai’s character was also not good. He had gone against his master many times in the steel mill and the compound.

If the factory really wanted Yi Zhonghai to be the deputy director of Workshop 7, it would be better for him to ask his master to help him through the back door.

"Director Cao, where was I transferred to?"

Yi Zhonghai was also a little excited, but he was more suspicious.

Although his current level of fitter is not level three, it is between level 6 and level 7. In terms of ability, there are many fitters in Workshop 7 who are better than him. In terms of popularity, because of Li Jiandong, he has lost his reputation even in Workshop 7, let alone managing Workshop which is full of senior workers.

But if he wasn't transferred to Workshop 7 as deputy director, where else could he be transferred to?

After all, he was only a level 6 fitter, so it was unlikely that he would be transferred to a position other than fitter. He couldn't just change workshops for no reason, so it seemed that the most reasonable thing for him to do was to be the deputy director of workshop No. 7.

"This is your transfer order. Take a look at it yourself."

Director Cao handed the transfer order to Yi Zhonghai and asked him to read it himself. He didn't want to tell anyone about the transfer to a bad place.

Yi Zhonghai took the transfer order and looked over with expectation.

When he saw the [Slag Flushing Workshop], Yi Zhonghai's brain buzzed and he almost fainted on the ground.

"Lao Yi, what's going on? Where have you been transferred to?"

Guo Dapiezi, who was working at the next station, asked with a smile.

The other workers also put down their work and stared at this side expectantly.

"Did you get transferred to Workshop 7 as deputy director? Old Yi, why don't you say something?"

Another worker asked anxiously.

Jia Dongxu also looked at Yi Zhonghai nervously, only to see that Yi Zhonghai had a responsible expression, with a hint of anger in his confusion. He held the transfer order tightly in both hands, and his body was still shaking slightly.

"Old Yi, don't lose heart. Although the slag washing workshop is tough, it is also the most challenging. Some people came out of the slag washing workshop and became workshop directors directly. Maybe this is a test from your leader."

Director Cao said this with a twisted mind. In fact, when he saw the transfer order just now, he knew that Li Jiandong was settling a score with him.

"Impossible. How could the boss transfer me to the slag flushing workshop? Even if my ability has declined, I am still a level 6 fitter. Why would a senior worker transfer me to the slag flushing workshop? This is simply a retaliation against me."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly started shouting hysterically.

When the workers in the workshop heard that Yi Zhonghai was transferred to the slag flushing workshop, they were all surprised.

Yi Zhonghai's level 6 fitter is indeed a senior worker, and senior workers are rarely transferred to other types of positions, let alone the slag flushing workshop, a place that no one wants to go to.

"I told you, Lao Yi's level is not high, how could he possibly be the deputy director of Workshop 7?"

"Workshop 7 is a key workshop. In the past, Li Jiandong had to be a level 8 fitter to control the factory. Yi Zhonghai is a level 6 worker, and his level is not as high as any other worker. What qualifications does he have to lead others?"

When the workers heard that Yi Zhonghai was transferred to the slag washing workshop, their opinions immediately changed.

The female worker next to Jia Dongxu whispered, "I've known for a long time that Yi Zhonghai can't be the deputy director. Now the deputy director of production is your master, and if they want to find a deputy director, they'll send you. What do you think, Dongxu?"

Jia Dongxu coughed twice and said, "Sister Sun, I have only been in the factory for a short time, so I don't have the qualifications. Don't make fun of me."

Although he said this, Jia Dongxu actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He may not be the deputy director of the workshop, but he must not watch Yi Zhonghai take it.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his eyes turned red. Director Cao comforted him and said, "Old Yi, calm down. This transfer order was signed by Director Wang. How could Director Wang retaliate against you?"

Xiao Sun, who came to deliver the transfer order, also said: "Master Yi, please be careful with your words. The leader has a comprehensive arrangement for everyone's work. You just need to choose to execute the transfer order."

“I won’t do it.”

Yi Zhonghai suddenly shouted, "Li Jiandong just became the deputy director of production, and I was transferred to the slag flushing workshop. Is he targeting me and retaliating against me? I have to ask the leader, am I not even allowed to tell the truth?"

Yi Zhonghai said this and walked out of the workshop.

Li Jiandong is just a deputy director. If Director Wang does not withdraw the transfer order, he will go to Deputy Director Zhou, or directly to Director Yang.

By then, maybe because of this incident, even Li Jiandong might not be able to continue his job as deputy director. That would be a blessing in disguise.

Director Cao wanted to stop Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai was angry and he couldn't stop him.

Little Sun was young and clever. He borrowed a bicycle from the nearby guesthouse, pedaled quickly, and ran back to the office building ahead of Yi Zhonghai. He rushed into the office and said to Li Jiandong:
"Director Li, Yi Zhonghai is refusing to accept the transfer order and is heading our way."

"Oh? Haha, I see."

Li Jiandong sneered and didn't take Yi Zhonghai seriously at all.

He is now the deputy director of the production department.

Yi Zhonghai was just a demoted level 3 fitter.

The slag flushing workshop is indeed short of staff, and we must transfer one or two people from other workshops.

Li Jiandong was indeed retaliating against Yi Zhonghai, but all his actions were reasonable.

It can't be that just because he has a conflict with Yi Zhonghai, we can't transfer him to the slag flushing workshop, right?
At this time, Yi Zhonghai rushed in with the transfer order.

He slapped the transfer order on Li Jiandong's desk.
"Li Jiandong, what do you mean by this? I'm a level 6 fitter, and you want me to go to the slag flushing workshop? Even if we had some conflicts before, it was all for work. Aren't you too petty to do this?"

Director Wang heard the sound and walked out of the room.

"Yi Zhonghai, I wrote your transfer order. Two workers in the slag washing workshop were seriously injured before the New Year and have not returned yet. Even if you are transferred there, it is only temporary. This is also a test for you by the factory. As a level 6 worker, don't you even have this awareness?"

"Director Wang, this..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that the transfer order was actually written by Director Wang.

Isn't it Li Jiandong who is retaliating against him?
Only Xiao Sun knew that Director Wang was protecting Li Jiandong.

He was probably worried that Li Jiandong had just started managing people and was not good at dealing with such emergencies. In fact, he was completely overthinking it.

Although Li Jiandong had not been an official for a long time, he had read a lot of books and was confident that he could deal with people like Yi Zhonghai.

However, since Director Wang is willing to stand up for him, it would be inappropriate for Li Jiandong to stand up again. Wouldn't that be tantamount to trying to win Director Wang's favor?
Li Jiandong certainly wouldn't do such a stupid thing that would be thankless. He just sat there and asked calmly, "Yi Zhonghai, what else do you want?"

Director Wang immediately said, "Yi Zhonghai, before this incident gets out of hand, you should report to the slag workshop. If Director Yang and his men find out, I don't think you'll be able to keep your current position as a level 3 fitter."

Yi Zhonghai stood there in a daze for a long time.

Finally, he lowered his head in frustration: "Director Wang, I was wrong. I came to cause trouble without understanding the situation clearly. I was wrong, but..."

The words were not finished.

Director Wang said angrily, "It's nothing, but the transfer order has been issued. What else do you want? Do you want me to change my order every day? How can I do my job in the future?"

"Besides, this is a test for you. You should know why."

Director Wang used threats and intimidation to scold Yi Zhonghai, making him lose his temper completely.
"Director Wang, I understand. I will report to the slag flushing workshop right away."

Yi Zhonghai knew that he had to go to the slag flushing workshop today. As smart as he was, he would not waste energy on something that had already been decided.

Otherwise, if you offend Director Wang, you might not even be able to keep your position as a level 3 fitter.

Although he has been transferred to the slag flushing workshop now, it is an internal transfer and his work registration file shows he is still a level 3 fitter, so he can still continue to receive the salary of a level 3 fitter.

If I get demoted again, I won't even get the salary of a level 3 fitter, and I'll lose at least another 20 yuan.

Seeing that he was getting scared, Director Wang stopped scolding him and waved his hand to let him leave.

After Yi Zhonghai left,

Li Jiandong then stood up and said to Director Wang, "Director Wang, thank you. Yi Zhonghai does have some problems with his ideology. I sent him to the slag washing workshop to train him, but I didn't expect his ideological problems to be so serious."

In any case, Director Wang just stood up for Li Jiandong.

Li Jiandong must be thanked, even though he doesn't need any help and can do it on his own.

By the way, he also explained to Director Wang why he wanted to touch Yi Zhonghai. Of course, it didn't matter whether it was true or not. The right of explanation was with Li Jiandong anyway.

Director Wang also cooperated and said with a smile: "From now on, we will be in the same office. There is no need to clearly distinguish between yours and mine when it comes to work, and there is no need to say thank you. The greatest thanks to you is for you to grow up quickly and help me share some of the pressure."

Li Jiandong said: "I will definitely learn as soon as possible."

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the office building and felt more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

Why did Li Jiandong get promoted while he was demoted?

Although his salary would remain 46 yuan as long as the type of work and level in his work registration book remained unchanged, the work in the slag flushing workshop could not be compared with that in the fitter workshop. Not only was it tiring, but there was also no status at all.

After all, fitter is a technical job. As a level 6 worker, Yi Zhonghai is greeted proactively by others when they see him.

But in the slag flushing workshop, you have to work hard, so who cares if you are level 6 or 7? It is easy to make people jealous if you make a lot of money.

"Oh, it will be hard to work in the future."

Yi Zhonghai sighed and walked back to the door of the workshop. He had some things here, so he had to take them to the slag washing workshop. As soon as he entered the workshop, a worker found him. "Old Yi is back. How are you? Did the leader take back your transfer order?"

An older female worker stepped forward and asked.

The others immediately turned their eyes over and waited for Yi Zhonghai's answer.

Yi Zhonghai said with a straight face: "What transfer order? The leaders always make decisions after careful consideration. Would they just take back the transfer order casually? I just want to ask the leaders why they want to transfer me. I have to know the reason."

When they heard that Yi Zhonghai had really been transferred, the expressions of the workers around him suddenly changed.

Before, Yi Zhonghai was a level 3 fitter, but he had the ability of a level 6 fitter. Even if the workers didn't like him, they respected him. But now he is about to be sent to the slag flushing workshop. Without the bonus of his fitter ability, in everyone's eyes, he is just an ordinary old worker with a corrupt character.

He is about to be transferred but he still speaks so harshly, who will tolerate him?
The older female worker immediately sneered and said, "Hey, Master Yi, that's not what you said just now. We were all watching. You were so angry just now, and you even said that Director Li was retaliating against you. How come you just asked casually now?"

Guo Dapiezi also added insult to injury, "Why did they only transfer Master Yi and not us? They said one thing and did another, thinking we were all fools."

"It doesn't matter if you treat us as fools, but Master Yi dares to treat even Director Li as a fool. Isn't this bad luck?"

Normally, Yi Zhonghai would bully others in the workshop by relying on his high level and seniority. He would not teach others about technology, but only about morality and how to behave.

The key is that he himself has no morals, and morality is just a tool for him to kidnap and teach others a lesson.

New and old grudges have accumulated for so many years, and now he is being transferred, and everyone finally doesn't have to put up with him anymore.

Everyone tried their best to mock Yi Zhonghai and criticized him to the point of being useless. Even though Yi Zhonghai was good at speaking, he was left speechless.

He didn't dare to stay any longer, picked up his things and ran out of the workshop.

There was a lot of laughter behind him, making Yi Zhonghai's old face blush with shame.

"You are a bunch of smug villains. Just wait for me. I will be back."

Yi Zhonghai looked back at the workshop. He remembered the humiliation he had suffered today and knew that he would have to pay it back sooner or later.

…………

After finishing a day's work, the workers return to their homes.

Liu Haizhong was very happy today. He didn't know how to lick Li Jiandong, but he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to come to him on his own initiative. Today he heard that Yi Zhonghai was transferred to the slag flushing workshop. It was obviously Li Jiandong's revenge.

This was because of his tip-off. Li Jiandong knew that Yi Zhonghai was trying to sow discord and that was why he dealt with him.

Isn't this a meritorious service?

"Lao Liu, what's up with you today? Are you an official now?"

The second aunt was finishing her meal. She saw Liu Haizhong humming a tune and nodding his head, looking very happy, so she couldn't help but ask a question.

Liu Haizhong was also looking for someone to share his joy with, so he said, "There is a really big happy event today. Li Jiandong and Yi Zhonghai organized it. Did you know?"

The second aunt was startled and asked:

"Did you kill Lao Yi? How did you do it?"

Liu Haizhong smiled and said, "Lao Yi is a treacherous villain. He instigated me last time and said he wanted to nominate me to be the head of our hospital. As a result, he came to me again this morning and said that if our Guangqi is educated according to Li Jiandong's method, he will no longer be our son in the future."

When the second aunt heard this, she immediately spat:
"He's talking nonsense. Guangqi is my son. He is my son no matter what."

"Okay, okay, stop interrupting and just listen to me, okay?"

Liu Haizhong was a little unhappy when he was about to speak.

The second aunt quickly smiled and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. You go ahead and talk."

Liu Haizhong snorted in dissatisfaction, and then continued:

"Old Yi said something to sow discord with me, and then I went straight to find Old Li. Guess what, before noon, Old Li transferred Yi Zhonghai to the slag washing workshop."

The second aunt said excitedly:

"You have done a great deed, haven't you asked Li Jiandong to help you?"

Liu Haizhong said with some pride and some contempt:

"Of course. From Li Jiandong's reaction, we can tell that I have done a great job this time. But it's not easy to make a move. We have to wait for an opportunity. Even if I tell you this, you won't understand."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he began to hum a little tune while shaking his head.

However, in the middle courtyard not far in front of his house, Yi Zhonghai was in a very bad mood.

After working in the slag flushing workshop for only half a day, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore. Wearing a protective suit, he was hung at a high place to spray water to flush the slag. The water was vaporized as soon as it was sprayed, and he was hung in the air like a steamer.

It's tiring, hot and dangerous.

The point is that it’s already so miserable in winter, what would we do if it were summer?
You have to wear protective clothing to do this job. Wouldn’t it be too hot in the summer?

No wonder so many people get heat stroke in the slag washing workshop every summer. This is not a job for human beings.

When Li Huilan was washing vegetables outside just now, she heard people talking about Yi Zhonghai.

At this moment, seeing his gloomy expression, she didn't dare to persuade him, so she quietly opened the door and ran to Li Jiandong's house.

"Uncle, I want to ask you a favor?"

As soon as Li Huilan entered the room, she knelt down in front of Li Jiandong and cried,
"I beg you to let Lao Yi go. He has been demoted from a Level 7 worker to a Level 3 worker. Do you really want to kill us all?"

As soon as Li Jiandong saw Li Huilan coming to him, he knew why she came.

Li Jiandong originally felt a little sorry for her, but after hearing what she said, he realized that some people are hateful even if they are pitiful.

He said with a cold face: "Old Yi's wife, you have to understand first, it's not that I won't let Yi Zhonghai go, it's that he keeps targeting me and our hospital to sabotage us all day long. I have let him go again and again, but he is shameless."

"I beg you, please let Lao Yi go. If you really can't, you can scold me to vent your anger. If you can vent your anger, you can even beat me."

Li Huilan is just an ordinary woman and doesn't understand anything at all.

She didn't know what Yi Zhonghai had done, and didn't care who was right or wrong. In order to get Li Jiandong to let Yi Zhonghai go, she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

This is simply another form of moral kidnapping. They completely disregard the facts and want to force Li Jiandong to compromise by kneeling down.

Unfortunately, Li Jiandong didn't buy her trick at all.

He stood up and walked into the courtyard and shouted, "Yi Zhonghai, are you still a man? You are a coward at home and ask your wife to come and kneel down for you. If you still have a little self-respect as a man, come and take your wife back."

Yi Zhonghai knew that Li Huilan must have gone to plead for him.

He was very concerned about his reputation and originally didn't want Li Huilan to go.

But he also knew that unless Li Huilan asked Li Jiandong to beg her, it would be impossible for him to make Li Jiandong let him go by himself.

In order to leave the slag flushing workshop earlier, Yi Zhonghai had to put his face aside and pretend that he did not see Li Huilan going to Li Jiandong's house to beg for mercy.

But he never expected that even though he had turned a blind eye, Li Jiandong would insist on making a big fuss and making the matter clear.

Now someone is standing in the yard shouting at him to go and call Li Huilan back, can he still pretend to be deaf and dumb?

"This useless woman is useless."

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Huilan was useless.

He walked out of the house quickly and shouted at Li Jiandong's family, "Li Huilan, get back here right now."

Li Huilan didn't want to embarrass herself, but she couldn't bear to see Yi Zhonghai continue to be so decadent.

That was her man, her God. She would do anything if Li Jiandong could let him go.

So, for the first time, she went against Yi Zhonghai's wishes, walked to Li Jiandong's door on her knees, and kowtowed on the threshold.

"Li Jiandong, please let my Lao Yi go. I kowtow to you, please let him go."

Li Huilan was also impulsive. She didn't realize how much impact her behavior would have on the man's face.

What's more, Yi Zhonghai cares more about face than ordinary men.

At this moment, his woman was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to another man. How could he bear such humiliation?
"Li Huilan, you bitch, I want to divorce you."

Yi Zhonghai said with gritted teeth.

Li Huilan, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, was suddenly stunned. She didn't expect that after putting aside her self-esteem and begging Li Jiandong, she would end up like this.

She quickly stood up from the ground, stopped kowtowing, and quickly ran to Yi Zhonghai, pulling his arm and saying, "Zhonghai, what nonsense are you talking about? I am your wife, and I love you wholeheartedly. How can you say such things? You are trying to scare me, right? You must be scare me."

Li Huilan was extremely nervous. She was an honest woman. Although she was not sensible, her character was normal.

A normal woman will not easily think of divorce even if she knows that she has married the wrong person.

What's more, it wasn't her who wanted a divorce, it was Yi Zhonghai who wanted to divorce her.

Yi Zhonghai looked at his wife crying and felt even more disgusted. He pushed her to the ground, pointed at her nose and cursed:
"You are such an unlucky person. Ever since I married you, I have never had good luck. I either failed exams or was targeted by others. We have been married for so many years but have no children. I should have guessed that it was God's warning to me. I should have divorced you and married someone else a long time ago."

Li Huilan was dumbfounded.

Wasn't he just trying to help? Why did he end up messing with his man like this?
She rushed to Yi Zhonghai, hugged his thighs and cried.

"Lao Yi, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again. Please give me one more chance and I will listen to you in the future."

"Get lost, you bitch. You like to kneel down to others so much. Just beg Li Jiandong to take you in. Get lost now."

Yi Zhonghai kicked Li Huilan away, then turned around and went home and locked the door.

Li Huilan lay on the ground and cried loudly. How could an ordinary woman live without a man?

Hearing the noise and crying coming from the middle courtyard, the residents in the courtyard all ran over to watch the fun.

When they learned that it was Yi Zhonghai who wanted to divorce Li Huilan, everyone scolded Yi Zhonghai for being ungrateful. It was bad enough that he let a woman bear the consequences of his mistake, but he even planned to divorce because he lost face.

Jia Zhang said sarcastically, "Huilan, I would say that a divorce is fine. Anyway, your husband Yi has never treated you as a human being. Every day, you have to eat two portions of food. He eats steamed buns and you eat cornbread. He beats and scolds you if you don't agree with him. What's the point of having such a man?"

The old Yan's wife beside him sighed and said, "Sister Zhang, please say less."

Second Aunt Hu Guiying also said: "Every family has its own problems. Although Lao Yi is not a good person, at least he treated Huilan. It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage, do you know?"

Although Hu Guiying doesn't like Yi Zhonghai, she has a good relationship with Li Huilan.

The two of them are not much different in age, and they usually wash clothes and talk a lot together.

She really didn't want Li Huilan to be abandoned, otherwise she would have to spend so much money on medical treatment every month and she would not be able to afford it and would have to wait to die.

Not to mention that Li Huilan is infertile, so even if she finds another child, she will probably be discriminated against.

Jia Zhang said disdainfully: "Okay, okay, you are the only sensible ones. If you have the ability, go and talk to Yi Zhonghai and see if he is still willing to live with Li Huilan."

If you put yourself in her shoes, if Jia Zhang was Li Huilan's husband, she would have kicked him away long ago. She couldn't live with the fact that she couldn't have children, not to mention that she was sick. Wouldn't it be nice to use the money she used to treat her illness to buy herself some meat?
"You...just go."

Hu Guiying got up and prepared to go talk to Yi Zhonghai, but after knocking on the door, Yi Zhonghai inside the room said, "Get lost."

Hu Guiying was so angry that she didn't want to help anymore. Wasn't her kindness being taken for granted?
