Chapter 329

If it exploded...

If something happened.

He wouldn't be able to keep his position as Director!

"Director Wang, can you keep a secret?"

Sun Laogen gritted his teeth.

"You can rest assured!"

Director Wang nodded.

"Director Wang, I was forced by Yi Zhonghai and had no other choice."

"At the factory, Yi Zhonghai used to be a Level 6 fitter. Even though he was demoted later, he is very influential and knows many people in the factory."

"With his skills, his connections, and his personality, if he tampered with my machine, I would die without knowing why."

"Plus, my eldest son also works in the factory. How could I not be afraid of him?"

"In the Sihe Academy, he is the First Elder. If we don't listen to him, the result is even worse; he would kick us out of the Sihe Academy and leave us homeless."

"There was no other way, we can't afford to offend Yi Zhonghai, so we can only hide from him."

"Director Wang, I’ve told you everything. Can you approve our family to move to another place now?"

Sun Laogen spoke very pitifully.

Of course.

Someone was planning behind the scenes.

The person planning it was Wan Ping'an, who wanted to deal a heavy blow to Yi Zhonghai, which is why he deliberately let the Sun family agree to compensate Jia Zhangshi one hundred yuan.

Compensate first.

Then act pitiful.

"Sun Laogen, I understand your feelings very well."

"But housing resources are tight right now, and there are no suitable properties. You should stay in the Sihe Academy for now, and I will handle this matter."

Director Wang had a headache.

He had a headache because of Yi Zhonghai.

He had long wanted to remove Yi Zhonghai—no, he had already removed him once.

Later, someone exerted pressure, forcing him to let Yi Zhonghai serve as the acting First Elder.

"Director Wang, can you keep this matter a secret?"

"If Yi Zhonghai finds out we came to you to report the situation, given his personality, he will definitely retaliate against us."

"My son and I work at the Steel Rolling Mill. As long as someone tampers with the machines, the two of us might be gone."

"Director Wang, if something really happens and we are pushed to the edge, don't blame us for jumping over the wall!"

Sun Laogen was truly desperate.

He knew Yi Zhonghai’s character too well.

Director Wang was about to explode with anger; Yi Zhonghai was too outrageous, pushing people to this extent!

Half an hour later.

Director Wang arrived at the Sihe Academy.

"Yan Fugui, go call Liu Haizhong to Yi Zhonghai’s house. We’re going to have a small meeting."

Director Wang said to the gatekeeper Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui shivered.

Director Wang’s face was livid; he had come with anger, so it definitely wasn't anything good.

He trotted all the way to Liu Haizhong’s house.

"Something big has happened. Director Wang is here and wants us to have a meeting at the First Elder’s house. I see fire in his eyes; I’m afraid the three of us are going to be in trouble."

Yan Fugui arrived at Liu Haizhong’s house.

"No way?"

"What happened in our courtyard again?"

Liu Haizhong was also very surprised.

"I don't know either. I wanted to ask you—you don't know either?"

Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong.

Both were completely confused.

"Let’s go! Don't keep Director Wang waiting. I guess it’s very likely related to Yi Zhonghai, and it has nothing to do with us."

Yan Fugui guessed.

Liu Haizhong nodded; he thought the same.

The two arrived at Yi Zhonghai’s house, where the atmosphere was very oppressive.

"You three have arrived. I’m asking you: did you make the Sun family compensate the Jia family one hundred yuan?"

Director Wang questioned.

He couldn't just listen to one side; he had to verify the situation with the three elders.

Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong looked at each other; just as they guessed, they were implicated by Yi Zhonghai again, and the culprit was still Jia Zhangshi.

"Director Wang, the situation is like this: the Jia family is having a hard time, so I considered..."

Yi Zhonghai defended himself.

"Shut up! I’m asking you, did you make the Sun family compensate the Jia family one hundred yuan?"

Director Wang interrupted Yi Zhonghai.

"Director Wang, the Sun family has four people with jobs, and the Jia family is orphans and widows..."

Yi Zhonghai tried to explain in a different way.

"Yi Zhonghai, can you understand human speech?"

Director Wang was completely furious.

He wanted a definitive answer, but Yi Zhonghai kept going in circles with him.

"From now on, you shut up."

"Liu Haizhong, Yan Fugui, I don't know if you two can understand human speech. Answer my question: yes or no?"

Director Wang didn't ask Yi Zhonghai anymore.

Yes!

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui felt their scalps go numb.

"Absurd, absolutely absurd, it’s simply lawless."

"Yi Zhonghai, that’s one hundred yuan! Before you were demoted, did you even make one hundred yuan a month?"

"Besides, did the Sun family do anything wrong?"

"Yi Zhonghai, tell me, what did the Sun family do wrong?"

Director Wang wanted to slap Yi Zhonghai twice. Among all the managing elders in this area, Yi Zhonghai was the one with the most trouble.

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

He was intentionally favoring the Jia family, but could he say that?

"Director Wang, I saw that the Jia family was having a hard time, and the Sun family has four people with jobs, so I..."

Yi Zhonghai started making excuses again.

"Enough, you don't need to say anything!"

"You two, go notify everyone for a full-courtyard meeting."

Director Wang turned to Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui.

Ten minutes later, the full-courtyard meeting was held.

Everyone was surprised to see Director Wang presiding over the meeting. Unless it was a major event, why would the Neighborhood Office Director preside over a full-courtyard meeting?

"Everyone, be quiet and welcome Director Wang to speak!"

Liu Haizhong had a sudden flash of inspiration.

He showed a bit of cleverness.

"It’s getting late, so I’ll get straight to the point."
