Chapter 169: Installation 13 Failure

Yan Jiefang looked at Liu Haizhong, curled his lip, and said:

"Second Elder, you are now a Great Leader cadre of the Ya gang chang."

"We should have a common language."

At that moment, Yan Jiecheng stood up and interjected:

"That's right, Second Elder, you shouldn't listen to my father's one‑sided words, ah."

"He is using you."

"He wants to take back the family's financial control."

"You must not fall for it."

Liu Haizhong coughed once and said:

"Um, your statement, ah, I think it makes a lot of sense."

At the end, he cast his gaze toward Yan Bu Gui.

Yan Bu Gui's complexion darkened.

Liu Haizhong continued:

"It fits the current situation well."

"Your family's problem is not a problem."

"Where is the problem?"

"It's this Old Yan, so now I decide to revoke Third Elder Yan Bu Gui's title within our institute."

Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang, and Yan Jiekuang, the three brothers, immediately burst into applause.

Yan Bu Gui was instantly dumbfounded.

He still thought that by appealing to Liu Haizhong, Liu Haizhong would act on his behalf; who would have thought Liu Haizhong would not act for him, and would even revoke his Third Elder title.

Liu Haizhong originally intended to act for him, but just now he embarrassed Liu Haizhong, twice in a row, so Liu Haizhong naturally wants to settle a personal grudge.

Although it was only the three Yan brothers clapping, Liu Haizhong still pointed at the crowd and said to Yan Bu Gui:

"See, Old Yan, you have already lost the people's trust."

"Don't sit here; go sit with the people."

Yan Bu Gui was puzzled: "No, Old Liu, you—you are only Second Elder, Old Yi hasn't spoken yet, how did you revoke my position?"

Liu Haizhong: "Old Yi said that I am chairing the meeting today."

Yan Bu Gui: "Yes, you may chair the meeting, but not run a one‑man show."

Saying that, he looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked:

"Old Yi, are you on the same page as Old Liu?"

Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh and said:

"Second Elder, what you did is somewhat improper."

"I think the Third Elder Old Yan's title should not be revoked."

Liu Haizhong, feeling frustrated, said: "No, Old Yi, didn't you say you wouldn't intervene in today's meeting?"

Lin Shengli: "But that doesn't mean you can act recklessly."

At this point, Lin Shengli looked around and shouted:

"Second Elder, revoking Third Elder's title—are you acting rashly?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes."

Liu Haizhong was dumbfounded.

Yan Jiecheng, with a gloomy face, looked at Lin Shengli and said:

"Shengli, why—why—why—why—why—why are you not helping me?"

"Why aren't you on my side?"

Lin Shengli: "I stand on the side of justice."

"You, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, you three brothers, you are sons."

"Let's set aside whatever your father is like, okay?"

"But at the very least, you must be grateful."

Yan Bu Gui exclaimed: "Well said."

"These little brats really turned things upside down; luckily I have Shengli on my side."

Lin Shengli laughed: "Third Elder, I never said I'm on your side."

"I already said I'm on the side of justice; your three sons oppose you, surely for a reason."

"Who makes him constantly scheming, whether there's work or not?"

"He even schemes against his own sons; no wonder the sons have become estranged."

"Of course, an upright official finds it hard to judge family matters."

"So my suggestion is that the Third Elder's family affairs be handled by them, and we should not interfere."

"What does everyone think?"

Everyone shouted together: "Right, no interference."

Liu Haizhong: "Then, what should we do?"

Lin Shengli: "I already said, it's their family matter; let them handle it themselves."

Yi Zhonghai: "Yes, let them handle it themselves."

"I support Shengli's proposal."

"We don't need to convene a full‑institute meeting over this."

Liu Haizhong felt depressed: "No, Old Yi, I, I..."

Yi Zhonghai interrupted: "Do you still have something?"

Xu Damao: "Yes, Second Elder, it's my turn now, right?"

Liu Haizhong: "Right, right, right, then let's talk about Xu Damao's matter."

"It's about Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e's divorce."

Hearing this, Lin Shengli and Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but exchange a glance.

They never expected Xu Damao to actually propose a divorce.

It seems Xu Damao thinks the wind is blowing, wanting to hastily cut ties with Lou Xiao'e.

He thinks doing this will let him rise to power.

Xu Damao, don't forget, I'm here.

Since you don't cherish it, don't blame me for being impolite.

After thinking, Lin Shengli wanted to hear what Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao had to say first.

Liu Haizhong then said:

"Well, I've thought about it, what Old Yi and Shengli said also makes sense."

"The problem with Teacher Yan Bu Gui's family, let them solve it themselves."

"Now I'll talk about the second issue."

"This is a very serious matter; I hope Shengli, uh, and Eldest Uncle will stand with me."

Lou Xiao'e smiled, stood up, and said loudly:

"Second Elder, you don't need to say anything."

"I'm divorcing Xu Damao right now."

"Actually, I just felt sorry for him because he can't have children."

"I didn't expect him to still be unsatisfied; in that case, I'll divorce him."

Hearing this, everyone erupted in an uproar.

Xu Damao's face flushed red as he pointed at Lou Xiao'e and said:

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I, I how can I not be able to have children?"

Although this has become a fact, Xu Damao still wants to make excuses in front of so many people.

Otherwise, if this gets out, his partner will also have to break up with him.

Moreover, people will also point fingers at him in the future.

Lin Shengli: "That's right, I can prove that."

"Back when Xu Damao got married, he went to the hospital for a checkup."

"He personally told me that the doctor said he could never have children again."

"The reason I'm about to say, everyone should know."

"That's because Shazhu has been kicking him there since childhood."

"Over time, the result was that he got kicked injured."

Upon hearing this, everyone erupted in an uproar again.

Everyone said Shazhu was too vicious.

However, some said Xu Damao deserved it.

In short, all kinds of opinions were voiced.

Xu Damao wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong and asked:

"Anything else?"

"Their divorce matter is also settled."

Liu Haizhong thought for a moment and shook his head.

Yi Zhonghai stood up and spoke loudly:

"Alright, everyone, let's disperse."

"Today's meeting ends here."

Having said that, he walked toward his own home.

Liu Haizhong watched his back, opened his mouth, wanting to say something but finally held back.

He wanted to say, "I'm now the leader of the steel mill, how dare you treat me like this?"

However, thinking of Lin Shengli still being there, he swallowed the words back.
