Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"If the workers have complaints, it will affect the factory's operations and make many things difficult to handle."

Director Yang spoke in a pretentious and arrogant manner, exuding an air of authority.

"Understood, I understand."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, having fully grasped Director Yang's intentions.

....... ... 0

"Here's what we'll do, Lao Yi. I'll assign you a task, but it will be hard on you."

Director Yang stood up as he finished speaking, and Yi Zhonghai, seeing this, also quickly stood up, maintaining a very respectful demeanor.

"Please, Factory Director, don't mention how hard it is. I, Lao Yi, am honored."

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed; this meant the leader valued him.

"Go and contact other people, take a look, and ask them."

"Listen to their opinions on these matters, and see what they really think."

"If there are problems, we need to hear the voices of the workers at the grassroots level."

"So don't worry, we will definitely deal with the real problems."

Director Yang spoke again, repeating his words over and over.

Yi Zhonghai nodded and bowed, immediately agreeing.

"Since you understand, Lao Yi, then you go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."

"By the way, aren't there many colleagues from the factory in your compound?"

As Director Yang walked out, he casually uttered a sentence.

Chapter 316 Taking a chicken feather as an imperial edict

Just as Xu Damao was being beaten by his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law, Yi Zhonghai arrived.

Among those in the courtyard who meet these conditions, the most important are He Yuzhu and Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu went to the hospital and hasn't returned yet, so Xu Damao is the primary candidate.

Yi Zhonghai had no idea that he would see such a situation as soon as he arrived.

Xu Damao was pinned to the ground by Lou Sheng and Lou's parents, and beaten so badly that he couldn't get up.

"What, what's going on?"

Under normal circumstances, Yi Zhonghai's first reaction would probably be to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, he was carrying the "orders of the higher authorities," so he had no choice but to remain indifferent.

"What's going on? What kind of fight is this? What kind of place is our courtyard house? How can people fight like this?"

Yi Zhonghai kept shouting, but he just stood there, showing no intention of moving forward at all.

"Get out of here, you old codger! You're useless, you can't get hens to lay eggs if you don't crow, and you still want to beat people up. Do you want to take the beating for him?"

At this moment, Lou's mother started yelling at the top of her lungs.

Although this is her daughter's house, it is not her home.

So no matter how much trouble they cause, it's still not a big deal.

And if they can't get any benefits from Xu Damao today, how can they possibly leave?

After what happened last time, Xiaoyue's family raised their prices again. If they can't meet the requirements, this whole thing is over.

"Exactly, if you don't understand things, don't bother with them."

"You want to save someone? Fine, but pay up!"

Lou's father was not one to back down easily, so at this critical moment, he immediately shouted at Yi Zhonghai, while simultaneously reaching out a hand towards Yi Zhonghai.

"Grandpa, help me! This family has gone mad. Their son can't get married and they're making a scene at me, demanding money. Where am I supposed to get any?"

"If I don't give it to you, you'll kill me! Sir, you're a big shot in our compound, you have to save me!"

Upon hearing what Lou's parents said, Yi Zhonghai's first thought was to turn around and leave.

Even an upright official can settle family disputes. If I were to rush in recklessly like this, I'm afraid I wouldn't get away with it.

Xu Damao was a clever man, and he immediately spoke up, shouting loudly.

Xu Damao's shouting reminded Yi Zhonghai that he had come here on a mission.

Director Yang likes me so much and values ​​me so much.

If these things cannot be accomplished, wouldn't that be letting down the leader's expectations?

So at this moment, we must face any difficulties, whether they arise or not.

"That's enough! What are you doing? Hitting people is illegal, don't you understand?"

"I don't care what your family affairs are about that led to this situation, but we still need to find out why it happened."

"I am here on behalf of Director Yang, and I have important business to attend to."

"Do you not understand that your current behavior is absolutely wrong and unacceptable!"

Although Yi Zhonghai wasn't particularly ambitious for official positions, he found that he felt incredibly pleased when he spoke these words with righteous indignation.

It's not true strength to punch someone with your fists; it's true strength to make someone bow down with just a few words.

This is true strength; soft words reveal hard power. Who else can possess this?

"Is there something you need, factory manager?"

Upon hearing this, Lou's father was startled. It's said that old people are shrewd and perceptive, and they can easily pick up on the underlying meaning...

Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, he immediately realized that something was amiss.

"Of course, otherwise who do you think would care about all this messy stuff your family is going through?"

"If Director Yang hadn't specifically mentioned Xu Damao, I wouldn't have bothered to come and take a look."

"Listen carefully: only things that are supposed to be done can be done; things that are not supposed to be done, don't do them."

"If it annoys the boss and makes others laugh at you, then it will be a loss."

Yi Zhonghai's ambiguous words surprised everyone once again.

"Let me go! I need to see the factory manager."

"You family of thugs, bandits, and bullies! I want a divorce, and I'll have the authorities punish you!"

Xu Damao seemed to have found someone to back him up, and immediately started shouting.

That's understandable. Apart from the announcement of his transfer, where did he ever have contact with any leaders? Let alone someone of Director Yang's status.

The Lou family is going too far. He has long had a problem with Lou Xiao'e not giving birth.

But it is precisely because they are wary of the Lou family that they have endured it until now.

With such a statement made today, how could he not be shocked?

"We're all still family, so let's not make a fuss, or we'll become a laughing stock for outsiders."

Yi Zhonghai coughed lightly twice; this feeling was really good.

It's wonderful that a chicken feather can be used as a command, making people obey.

"Son-in-law, we're just joking around."

"Yes, good son-in-law, you'd better hurry up and complete the task assigned by your superior."

"Brother-in-law, you will always be my brother-in-law."

The Lou family immediately started shouting and turned to run away.

I came here to get a bargain, and while I didn't get a bargain, I'm not at a loss either.

Chapter 317 Lou Xiao'e's Big Opinion

After the Lou family left, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward, took Xu Damao's hand, and began to speak repeatedly.

"Uncle, you're really smart. The Lou family is utterly despicable."

Xu Damao grabbed Yi Zhonghai and started ranting and raving about the Lou family.

Lou Xiao'e looked embarrassed, but she couldn't do anything about what Xu Damao said.

Only by keeping your eyes focused on your nose and your nose focused on your heart, and pretending that you haven't heard anything, can you truly understand the situation.

With her family making such a scene, what can she do? Go back to her parents' home?

Lou Xiao'e knew her family members' character perfectly well, but for the sake of her future, all she could do was pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Da Mao, there is a very important task ahead."

"Director Yang entrusted me with this task, and now I've found you."

Yi Zhonghai, with a solemn expression, spoke to Xu Damao.

　26 Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Xu Damao's face was solemn, but his blood was boiling even more.

“Listen to me, Da Mao. Li Xiangdong is causing a ruckus in the factory and is running the company like a dictator. His behavior is absolutely unacceptable.”
