Chapter 78 I can’t stand it anymore
"This bastard Lao Yi is such a piece of shit. How dare he do anything?"

Liu Haizhong was very angry.

Although, he was the kind of person who would do anything to become an official, even he could not think of such a dirty method as Yi Zhonghai.

Yan Bugui suddenly realized and said, "No wonder Xiao Hutao was drunk when she came back just now. I felt something was wrong with her at the time. I didn't expect it was Yi Zhonghai who did it. We are from the same courtyard. How could he betray his own people?"

Li Jiandong said in a deep tone:

"That's what happened. Although Yi Zhonghai has been taken to the police station by Zhuzi and Daqing, the incident was terminated before it even happened. In the end, it is estimated that nothing can be done to him. However, the law cannot punish him. Our hospital cannot let him off so easily."

If Xiao Hutao was taken home by Li Huaide, then what would happen.

As long as the police are called, not only Yi Zhonghai but also Li Huaide will be arrested and sentenced.

But the problem now is that neither He Daqing nor Li Jiandong can watch this happen.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai and Li Huaide's evil deeds were stopped ahead of time. In this way, they failed to do bad things, and it became a problem to punish them by law.

“This is not easy.”

Liu Haizhong looked embarrassed.

Yan Bugui also said after careful consideration: "Old Liu is right. We wanted to vote to drive Yi Zhonghai away before, but he has the title deed and no one can drive him away. Apart from that, the other punishments are not painful. How about we expose him?"

Xu Huizhen said angrily, “I don’t think it’s that good.

Yi Zhonghai has no shame at all, we must make him pay a real price."

Everyone expressed their opinions and wanted to deal with Yi Zhonghai, but none of them had any good solution.

In the end, it was Li Jiandong who made the final decision:

"Since our hospital can't handle him, let the steel mill handle him."

"Tomorrow I will report Yi Zhonghai's deeds to the factory and try to get the leaders to fire him. In this way, he will lose his job and make no money, so he will have to sell his house, and we will have a chance to drive him out of the compound."
Since there was a chance to expel Yi Zhonghai, the black sheep, from the hospital, everyone voted unanimously in favor.

He Daqing didn't come back until almost nine o'clock that night, and Sha Zhu worked overtime all night because of Yi Zhonghai's matter.

The next day, Li Jiandong met with He Daqing in the morning and took him to the steel mill.

When they arrived at the production department, Li Jiandong took He Daqing to find Director Wang.

"Director Wang, this is He Daqing, a resident of our hospital. He is also the chef of our factory cafeteria. He often prepares banquets for guests. You should have heard of him, right?"

Li Jiandong introduced He Daqing to Director Wang.

Director Wang also knew He Daqing, so he stood up and said with a smile, "How could I not know the name of Master He? What is the matter that you brought him here today?"

Li Jiandong nodded to He Daqing, and He Daqing spoke directly:
"Director Wang, I'm here to report Yi Zhonghai and Director Li Huaide of our factory's independent research and development team."

As soon as He Daqing opened his mouth, Director Wang was confused.

Reporting Yi Zhonghai is fine, but what about reporting Director Li Huaide?

"Hey, Master He, what are you reporting them for?"

"I reported them for colluding with each other to deceive the widow in our hospital and tried to get her drunk and treat her rudely."

He Daqing briefly recounted the whole process, and of course every word he said was true to the facts.

After listening to this, Director Wang said,

"So Director Li didn't actually have sex with that widow. All this is just your speculation, right?"

He Daqing got anxious when he heard this: "Director Wang, what do you mean by that? I saw them drinking Little Walnut Wine with my own eyes. Do you doubt my eyesight and IQ?"

"Daqing, please stop talking for now."

Li Jiandong finally understood.

Director Wang's expression changed subtly when he heard the three words "Li Huaide". The reason he asked such a question was obviously to smooth things over.

Of course, Li Jiandong could also understand his thoughts.

Although the director of the production department sounds very impressive, he is just a section-level cadre, the smallest leader.

However, Li Huaide’s father-in-law is a senior leader in the Ministry of Industry, and a single word from him can influence the future of small leaders like them.

If He Daqing had reported someone else, Director Wang might still have been able to enforce the law impartially.

But how could he dare to deal with Li Huaide if he reported him?
Therefore, the best way is to make a big thing small and help Li Huaide nip the report in the bud.

After thinking about the key to the problem, Li Jiandong changed his goal and said:
"Although Director Li Huaide is in charge of our independent research and development team, he is from the Ministry of Industry after all. Even if he made a mistake, it is not something we can handle."

"Director Wang, let's focus on how to deal with Yi Zhonghai."

He Daqing was a little unconvinced. In his opinion, Li Huaide was as hateful as Yi Zhonghai.

But Li Jiandong was right. Li Huaide was from the Ministry of Industry. Not only was Director Wang not qualified to handle it, even Director Yang was not qualified.

After listening to Li Jiandong's words, Director Wang also relaxed:

"Jiandong is right. Our production department is only responsible for managing workers. We don't even manage cadres. What's more, Director Li Huaide is a cadre of the Ministry of Industry, so he has nothing to do with us."

Li Jiandong said:
"Director Wang, what do you think we should do with Yi Zhonghai this time? He has committed serious mistakes many times. Is there any chance to expel him?"

Although it was a question, Director Wang knew very well that it was actually a request.

He was very clear about the grudge between Li Jiandong and Yi Zhonghai. What's more, Yi Zhonghai was indeed not ambitious and made mistakes again and again. Even the factory leaders hated him, so Director Wang was willing to do this favor.

"I think we can fire him. He has made enough mistakes. But you know how difficult it is to fire a worker. I have to consult Director Yang first, and then call a workers' meeting before I can make a decision."

"Then I'll trouble you, Director Wang."

Li Jiandong also knows how difficult it is to fire workers.

If it was just an ordinary punishment, he, as the deputy director of the production department, could handle it. Why would he bring He Daqing to see Director Wang?

"You're welcome. I'll go talk to Director Yang about this."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he went straight to the second floor.

"Enter."

Director Wang pushed the door open and saw Director Yang nodding slightly.
"Director Yang, Li Jiandong just brought He Daqing, the chef of a cafeteria, to me to report that Yi Zhonghai from our security department had attempted to rape a woman. Yi Zhonghai has made serious mistakes time and again. Li Jiandong suggested that we fire him. What do you think?"

When Director Yang heard that it was Yi Zhonghai who made the mistake again, he became furious.

"This Yi Zhonghai is simply a pest in our factory. I have approved this matter. Please find a time to hold a workers' meeting and go through the procedures. Is there anything else?"

Director Wang hesitated for a moment and said:

"There is another thing. According to He Daqing's report, Director Li Huaide also participated in forcing women this time."

"Huh? How did Li Huaide get involved?"

When Director Yang heard that Li Huaide was also involved, his brows immediately frowned.

Although firing a worker is not a small matter, he, as the factory director, can still make the decision. As long as the mistake made by the other party is big enough, he can be fired almost at will.

But it was different when Li Huaide got into trouble. Not only could he not deal with it, he also had to find a way to clean up his mess.

Otherwise, even Director Yang would not be able to bear the blame from the person behind him.

"Well... Xiao Wang, it seems that Old Wu from Canteen 1 is about to retire. He Daqing is a good cook, and this time he can be regarded as getting rid of a nuisance for our factory."

"Go back and discuss this with Director Dai, and have him take over Old Wu's position as the canteen director. You know what I mean, right?

The canteen director, like the workshop director, is the lowest-level cadre, but no matter how low-level, at least he is promoted.

As soon as Director Wang heard this, he understood what Director Yang meant. He wanted to use a cadre to shut He Daqing up.

"Director Yang, I understand. I'll go talk to He Daqing and explain it to him."

"Well, go ahead and report to me if anything happens."

Director Yang is still very concerned about Li Huaide's affairs. As a factory director, he must be able to tell what is important.

After Director Wang returned, he found He Daqing and tried to persuade him to give up suing Li Huaide.

However, He Daqing had a bad temper and would not listen to any advice at all. Director Wang had no choice but to ask Li Jiandong for help.

Li Jiandong was quite rational about reporting Li Huaide. He knew very well that it would be useless to report someone with a background like Li Huaide.

It just disgusts the other person and makes it easy to retaliate against.

It is easy to stop a gentleman but difficult to guard against a villain. Li Jiandong is a person who wants to do practical things.

If you are entangled by Li Huaide and cannot kill him, it will be a waste of time. Compared to punishing a villain, it is more valuable to try to make other contributions to society.

Besides, there would be no benefit to He Daqing after reporting it, as a cook is different from him.

Li Jiandong is the top talent in the steel rolling mill. Even if Li Huaide wants to take revenge, Director Yang will definitely protect him.

Even with Li Huaide's vision, even if he knew that he was the one who reported it, he might not target him. After all, if he became a factory leader in the future, he would also need Li Jiandong to do things for him.

But He Daqing is different, he is just a chef who cooks delicious dishes.

If Li Huaide targeted him, it would be easy for him to lose his stable job.

So Li Jiandong found He Daqing and explained the interests involved to him in the warehouse behind the cafeteria's kitchen.

The person He Daqing was most convinced by was Li Jiandong. After listening to him, although he was still very dissatisfied, he finally agreed to let Li Huaide go.

Then, Li Jiandong went to the street police station again and asked Sha Zhu to release Li Huaide.

When Li Huaide saw that it was Li Jiandong who came to pick him up, he was very grateful.

"Jiandong, thank you this time. I explained to the people at the police station for a long time, but they didn't believe me. You must believe me. Last night, I really didn't know the real purpose of Yi Zhonghai inviting me to dinner. I thought he just wanted me to help a female comrade in your hospital find a job. Everything else was Yi Zhonghai's own idea. I was also tricked by Yi Zhonghai."

Li Huaide tried his best to explain.

He has achieved his current status thanks to the connections in the girl's family, and what he fears most is that he will make mistakes due to his conduct.

Li Jiandong had been to his home and met his wife. This time, he and Yi Zhonghai were plotting against someone in Li Jiandong's compound.

If he really went to his own home to make trouble just to vent his anger on behalf of the widow in the courtyard, he would be in big trouble.

"I know, I believe you."

Li Jiandong said hypocritically that he couldn't cure him anyway, so there was no point in showing off his verbal skills.

I returned to the steel mill with Li Huaide. As soon as I entered the factory gate, I heard the announcement of Yi Zhonghai's dismissal on the radio.

"Yi Zhonghai, a security guard in the security team of the security department, was dismissed from his job due to serious violations of discipline. Workers and cadres in various departments and workshops are requested to take this as a warning and strive to be qualified workers who abide by the law and discipline."

Being fired is no small matter. Even though there are so many workers in a steel mill, it may not happen more than a few times a year.

Especially since the person fired this time was Yi Zhonghai, a former level 7 fitter who was quite famous among the workers. After hearing that he was fired, many people were talking about it.

After dropping Li Huaide off in front of the office building, Li Jiandong left.

When I got home in the evening, Yan Bugui came over as soon as I entered the compound and asked, "Old Li, what did the steel mill say?"

"After discussion by the factory leaders, Yi Zhonghai was fired. How is Hu Tao doing?"

Li Jiandong stopped the car and asked as he took out the key.

When Yan Bugui heard that Yi Zhonghai was fired from his job, he almost laughed out loud.

But when he heard the question about Walnut, his smile immediately disappeared.

"Although Xiao Hutao didn't suffer any loss this time, she was also very scared. My daughter Chunmei said that she cried all day today."

Li Jiandong sighed. No woman could accept such a thing.

Fortunately, nothing happened this time, otherwise, even if Yi Zhonghai was sent to jail, it would be difficult to ease everyone's hatred.

"Have you been to see her?"

"Who are you talking about? Little Walnut? I just came in not long ago, how about we go over and take a look together?"

Although Yan Bugui is stingy, he has a good heart.

The two of them went to the middle courtyard together, and knocked on the door of Xiao Hutao's house. Xiao Xiaotao had already returned from school.

Little Walnut stopped crying for fear of scaring the child, but her eyes were still red and her expression looked unnatural.

When he saw that it was Li Jiandong and Yan Bugui, Xiao Hutao suddenly avoided his gaze.

"Uncle One, Uncle Three, you are here."

Yan Bugui pretended to be relaxed and said, "Little Hutao, are you okay? Why don't you invite us in to sit down?"

The name "Little Walnut" is not because she is young, but because she is petite and looks immature.

At first, it was a few old ladies in the yard who always called her Little Walnut. Later, everyone got used to it and called her Little Walnut too.

Seeing that he had no intention of letting himself and Yan Bugui into the house, Li Jiandong said sympathetically:

"There's no need to go in. Xiao Xiaotao is still doing her homework. Lao Yan and I just came to see you. We're relieved that you're okay."

After hearing this, Little Hutao raised his head and looked at Li Jiandong and said, "Thank you, uncle. It's all my fault that I was bewildered and believed in Yi Zhonghai's evil. If it weren't for you and Master He, I don't know what I would have done this time."

Little Hutao became more and more sad as she spoke. Now thinking about it, why did she believe Yi Zhonghai at that time?
Obviously everyone in the hospital knows that Yi Zhonghai is not a good person. How could such a person give himself meal tickets and help him get into the steel mill?

"Don't cry, the child is looking this way."

Li Jiandong said in a low voice, and when little Hutao heard it, the child quickly held back his tears, lowered his head and used his sleeves to wipe away the tears that had just flowed.

Yan Bugui sighed and said, "You can't be blamed entirely for this. It's because our hospital has a scumbag. You should be more careful in the future. Spend more time with serious people and have less contact with people like Yi Zhonghai."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Uncle San."

Little Walnut wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

Although there are villains like Yi Zhonghai in the yard, there are also good people like Li Jiandong and Yan Bugui who care about others, so life is still worth looking forward to.

People who had left the compound gradually started to come back.

Families gathered around the dining table, eating and talking about Yi Zhonghai's dismissal.

Last night, only Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui and Li Jiandong knew what Yi Zhonghai had done. Today, less than 24 hours have passed, and even people in several nearby alleys have heard about Yi Zhonghai's dirty deeds.

For a time, Yi Zhonghai became a rat crossing the street and became completely famous.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was also released by the police station after a day of detention.
Yi Zhonghai was released after only one day in detention.

After all, he hadn't done anything before He Daqing messed him up. Just urging women to drink couldn't convict him of a crime.

However, even so, he suffered a lot in the police station.

Since Sha Zhu was from the same courtyard as him, he didn't feel comfortable doing it himself.

But he told his men to teach Yi Zhonghai a good lesson during the interrogation.

Of course, there are no visible injuries on the surface; they are professionals in this field.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was walking on the way home, his legs limping and his waist bent.

He cursed Sha Zhu in his heart, blaming him for being so unkind that he could even be so cruel to the elders in his own courtyard.

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai found that there were many people around him, pointing at him.

"See? That's Yi Zhonghai."

"You mean the guy from Yard 40? Wasn't he arrested by the police? How come he got out so soon?"

"Who knows? People like this should be shot directly. The police station is not doing anything."

"Fortunately, the steel mill handled this matter well. At least they fired him. Otherwise, if they let such a person continue to work as a worker, wouldn't that be a disgrace to us workers?"

There was a lot of discussion around, and no one was trying to avoid Yi Zhonghai.

When Yi Zhonghai heard these words, he was a little surprised. He couldn't understand why he was fired.

I just got Xiao Hutao drunk. What happened next didn't happen at all. Even the police station didn't dare to convict me. Why did the steel mill fire me?
He had originally planned to return to the courtyard, but when he heard that he was fired, he turned around and walked towards the steel mill. He wanted to ask what was going on and why he was fired for no reason.

However, before he had walked far, he saw a group of thugs surrounding him.

"Isn't this Yi Zhonghai who forced the neighbor's widow to drink? He was released so soon? Since the law can't punish you, let us brothers enforce justice. Brothers, beat him up for me."
