Chapter 108

"Are the rumors true?"

The workshop director stared at Yi Zhonghai.

"I'm wronged!"

"I don't have a restoration of big landlord and big capitalist ideology!"

Yi Zhonghai broke out in a cold sweat.

"Did you stop Wan Ping'an from farming?"

"Did you want to divide up his fruits of labor?"

The workshop director stared at Yi Zhonghai.

"I did stop him, but I didn't want to divide up his fruits of labor. I was just educating him, not letting him eat alone, and letting him learn to share!"

Yi Zhonghai defended himself.

Slap!

The workshop director slapped the table.

"Yi Zhonghai, I think your ideology really has problems."

"He doesn't steal or rob, why should the fruits of labor he grew by farming be shared with you?"

"Isn't this just robbery?"

The workshop director reprimanded him.

He had thought it was all rumors, but he didn't expect part of it to be true.

This is just jealousy!

"Yi Zhonghai, I represent the factory leadership in announcing your punishment."

"Starting from today, your work grade is demoted to level four. You have a three-day deadline to write a five-thousand-word self-criticism, reviewing your ideological errors."

The workshop director announced.

What?

Yi Zhonghai was shocked.

Demoted by two levels, wouldn't that be the same as Jia Gensheng?

He had always looked down on Jia Gensheng, thinking he wasn't like a man, cowardly, henpecked, and his fitter level was also two levels lower than his.

Now it's fine.

The two are even.

He no longer had any sense of superiority.

"Director, please withdraw the punishment!"

"It wasn't easy for me to pass the grade assessment. I worked hard for so many years to reach level six. If you demote me by two levels at once, when will I be able to pass it back?"

"As long as you withdraw the punishment, I will definitely show my appreciation."

Yi Zhonghai was not an honest person.

He hinted to the workshop director.

"Sigh, it's useless for you to beg me, I'm just a mouthpiece."

"The decision to demote you was made by the factory leadership. If you want to revoke the punishment, you can only go to the factory director. I really have no way at all!"

The workshop director shook his head and sighed.

He didn't want to punish Yi Zhonghai either.

After all, he was the workshop director, and Yi Zhonghai was a person in his workshop. If Yi Zhonghai had problems, he would also be criticized by the higher-ups.

The punishment for Yi Zhonghai had been decided before he came to find him.

The talk was just going through the motions.

"Director, is there no room for change at all?"

Yi Zhonghai held onto a glimmer of hope.

"No."

"You probably don't know that everyone in the factory knows about this, the impact is too big and too bad!"

"If the factory leadership doesn't punish you and the higher-level departments find out, the factory leadership will also be punished. Think about it, is there any room for flexibility?"

The director shook his head, waved his hand, and let Yi Zhonghai leave.

Yi Zhonghai left the office, his eyes burning with fire.

"It must be Wan Ping'an's good work!"

"He doesn't want to let me go, he wants to destroy me completely."

"Didn't I just stop him from farming?"

"Is it necessary to kill me off?"

Yi Zhonghai was a smart person and soon guessed the truth. If someone hadn't deliberately spread it, it wouldn't have spread throughout the factory within a day or two.

Off work.

People from the Sihe Academy who also worked at the steel rolling mill brought the news of Yi Zhonghai's demotion back to the Sihe Academy.

"Yi Zhonghai is really miserable, demoted from level six to level four. Isn't that several years of work in vain?"

"You can't say it's in vain. Although he is level four, he still has level-six strength. If he takes the test twice more, he can recover, but I'm afraid of assessment restrictions!"

"I think this matter is not simple. Do you guess it was Wan Ping'an who did it?"

"Very likely, he is a ruthless person!"

"In my opinion, Yi Zhonghai deserves it. Wan Ping'an farms, doesn't steal or rob, and is self-reliant. Why shouldn't he let Wan Ping'an continue farming?"

"Why? Because he's jealous!"

In less than half an hour.

The news that Yi Zhonghai was demoted to a level-four fitter spread completely throughout the Sihe Academy, and even three-year-old children knew about it.

When Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard, there were even more people pointing at him.

Returning home.

Yi Zhonghai took out another bottle of liquor.

He didn't use a glass anymore.

And he didn't eat any side dishes.

He opened the bottle, put the mouth to his lips, and gulped down half the bottle.

Cough cough cough!

Yi Zhonghai wanted to down it in one go.

But his throat couldn't take it, and he choked!

He bent over and coughed violently.

The First Aunt hurried over to help him pat his back and smooth his breath.

"Master of the house, you can't ruin your own body!"

The First Aunt persuaded him.

"Wan Ping'an is too ruthless!"

"His heart is too black!"

"He got people to spread rumors in the factory, saying I had a restoration of big landlord and big capitalist ideology, leading to my work grade being demoted to level four."

"He framed me, I won't let him off!"

Yi Zhonghai's eyes turned red.

It was anger!

And also the effect of the liquor!

He drank too fast, too urgently, and didn't eat a single side dish, so the liquor went to his head!

Slap!

Yi Zhonghai dropped the bottle.

The First Aunt shivered in fear.

"I'm going to settle the score with him!"

"I'm going to beat him to death!"

Yi Zhonghai drank too much, but he wasn't drunk. Liquor strengthens a hero's courage, and it's also called liquor strengthening a coward's courage!

"Master of the house, you can't go find Wan Ping'an!"
