Chapter 78 Old Li's Plan!
Old Wu leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette: "Level 8 worker is Yi Zhonghai's end point, and Level 14 technician is your starting point."
Moreover, there were already rumors in the factory that Yi Zhonghai, despite his seemingly calm demeanor, was actually extremely competitive. Even his position as a grade eight worker was questionable…”
Zhang Chengfei became interested and leaned slightly towards Old Wu: "How so?"
"Didn't we only implement the eight-level worker system in Beijing two years ago? Although Yi Zhonghai's skills are good, based on his usual performance, he is only at the sixth level, or at most the seventh level."
But in the end, when it came to the assessment of complex tooling and fixtures, he performed exceptionally well, becoming the only level eight fitter in the factory… Rumor has it that someone leaked the exam questions to him.
"Leaked exam questions?"
"Yes, because it is said that someone saw Yi Zhonghai practicing this skill intensively for half a month before the assessment."
"Forget about that, let's talk about your situation first. What are you planning to do?" Old Wu changed the subject.
Zhang Chengfei looked at him with a smile and asked softly, "Can you just do whatever I say?"
He didn't believe that the security department of a steel rolling mill would listen to a technician like him when handling a case.
Old Wu chuckled: "After all, you are the victim. Now the evidence is conclusive, so Director Li wants to ask for your opinion first."
If word gets out that an eighth-grade worker framed a branch factory technician with the intention of smearing him, it would be bad for the reputation of the steel rolling mill.
He consulted Li Huaide, who initially wanted to investigate thoroughly. However, after hearing that Yi Zhonghai's wife had come with an elderly woman, Li Huaide changed his tune. The intention was to resolve the matter privately as much as possible, minimizing the impact without upsetting Zhang Chengfei.
Li Huaide was intentionally trying to win over Zhang Chengfei, so...
Old Wu handed over a thick envelope: "Factory Director Li also said that Technician Zhang was wronged this time. This envelope contains a benefit given to him by Yi Zhonghai's family. He specifically gave you half as compensation. He also instructed that this portion was given by him and had nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai."
Yi Zhonghai is a level eight worker, earning ninety-nine yuan a month. If you want to talk to him, feel free to ask again. Of course, if you insist on bringing him to justice, return the bribe, and handle the matter as it should be.”
He told Zhang Chengfei that Lao Li's original words were that Lao Li cherished talent and was happy to make Zhang Chengfei his friend.
And this matter at hand is a testament to his sincerity in making friends.
After saying that, Lao Wu thought to himself that Lao Li was really capable.
By giving Zhang Chengfei the choice, regardless of how the matter is ultimately resolved, the other party will remember Lao Li's kindness. Once the two sides become entangled because of this, and Zhang Chengfei has gained Lao Li's favor, would he have the nerve to refuse Lao Li's offer to bring Zhang Chengfei into the steel rolling mill again?
Tsk, it seems that Fatty Feng is about to lose another key player.
……
Meanwhile, in the backyard of the courtyard house, there is a rear building.
The deaf old woman sat in a round-backed chair, looking at the middle-aged woman opposite her.
"I've already given the money to Director Li, and he's agreed to help arrange for you and your husband to meet with Zhang Chengfei."
If Zhang Chengfei agrees to talk, you and Lao Yi must seize this opportunity and not hesitate to spend the money. Lao Yi finally became an eighth-grade worker; we can't let this tarnish his reputation.
An older woman asked gravely, "Grandma, was it really Zhang Chengfei who did that half-closed door thing? But he doesn't seem like the kind of person who..."
The deaf old woman spoke slowly, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Many things require you to see beyond appearances to the essence. Old Yi was just arrested, and then his report against Zhang Chengfei was exposed. What a coincidence!"
When the commotion at the half-closed door first started, she couldn't see clearly. But when Guo Da Piezi took out the letter of complaint, she understood everything.
This time, it was because Lao Yi was outmatched and wanted to trick Zhang Chengfei, but somehow the news leaked out and the other party struck first.
The deaf old woman didn't want to say anything about it, but she couldn't ignore Lao Yi's accident.
An older woman took a deep breath: "Old Yi and that half-open door, really didn't..."
"I can assure you, the child in her belly is definitely not Lao Yi's," the deaf old woman said firmly. "Don't overthink it, deal with the whistleblower letter first."
"What about the child?" The middle-aged woman was still very conflicted.
The deaf old woman closed her eyes and thought for a while: "You should take care of the whistleblower letter first. As long as Zhang Chengfei is willing to settle this privately, I have a way to get Lao Yi out of this mess with the child..."
Zhang Chengfei wanted to use these two incidents to crush Lao Yi, but little did he know, she had another trump card. A cold smile crept onto the deaf old woman's lips.
The older woman was about to say something when she saw the deaf old woman rubbing her temples. She obediently got up and said, "Grandma, please rest first... I'll go back and prepare."
"Wait," the deaf old woman spoke again.
An older woman stopped.
"Did you really know nothing about Lao Yi's plan to report Zhang Chengfei before?"
The older woman remained silent.
She did try to persuade Lao Yi, but because she was unable to have children, she always habitually placed her husband above all others.
She did not approve of Lao Yi doing this, but she did not stop him.
The deaf old woman sighed deeply and waved her hand again: "Go."
……
After getting off work in the afternoon,
Led by the young security guard from the security department, who was barely out of school, Zhang Chengfei walked to an empty workshop in the steel rolling mill.
As soon as I entered, I saw Old Wu, Yi Zhonghai, and an elderly couple standing opposite me.
When the old woman saw Zhang Chengfei, she grabbed Yi Zhonghai and knelt down on the ground without saying a word:
"Dafei, I apologize to you... Your uncle was confused about the previous complaint letter. He's already in trouble because of the child's situation. He really can't afford to get involved in any more lawsuits."
"Considering how often our family helps your Er Ya, please let your uncle off this time, okay?"
Zhang Chengfei didn't correct the woman's address, but looked at the couple indignantly: "Uncle, Aunt, ever since I, Zhang Chengfei, entered the courtyard, I have always respected you two..."
But I never expected that you, sir, would be the most respected elder in charge of our courtyard! How could you, out of jealousy, write a letter of complaint to frame me?
"If you think Er Ya's job is illegitimate, you can come directly to me and ask her questions."
But what about you? You wrote a report directly! If it weren't for Guo Da Piezi's denunciation, I'm afraid I would have remained in the dark forever!
Zhang Chengfei became more and more agitated as he spoke, looking like an honest man who had been pushed to the limit.
Yi Zhonghai stared intently at his face.
From the moment Guo Da Piezi appeared, his thoughts were the same as the deaf old lady's: he believed that Zhang Chengfei knew his plan in advance and came to deal with him through a half-closed door.
But now, seeing Zhang Chengfei's heartbroken expression, he began to have some doubts again.
Could it be that Zhang Chengfei was truly kept in the dark all along? Did he not know anything, and did not retaliate?
But if that's the case, then who came looking for him through that half-open door? Who exactly wants to kill him?
Yi Zhonghai frowned deeply, trying to figure out who else besides Zhang Chengfei could have harmed him.
Upon hearing Zhang Chengfei's words, an older woman standing nearby immediately declared that it was all their family's fault and that they would definitely provide compensation if Zhang Chengfei was willing to settle the matter privately.
