Chapter 27: Yan Bugui is a Cunning Coward, Liu Haizhong is a Stupid Bad Person

"Let's talk about Yan Bugui," He Yuzhu didn't wait for the leaders present to think too much and quickly said.

"Although Yan Bugui saw through Yi Zhonghai's purpose, Yi Zhonghai's actions didn't conflict with Yan Bugui's interests. Yan Bugui is a person who values small profits and takes righteousness lightly, and he is also relatively timid. He won't achieve great things, nor will he become an obstacle to Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai naturally won't deal with Yan Bugui."

"Yan Bugui won't resist Yi Zhonghai either, but will take the opportunity to take advantage. Yan Bugui's nickname is the reincarnation of an abacus. He is a person who has to taste the saltiness even if a dung cart passes in front of him. He only cares about his own small profits, so Yan Bugui borrowed the power of the Third Grand Uncle and Yi Zhonghai's secret support to become the gatekeeper of the Siheyuan."

"He guards the gate of the Siheyuan every day. As long as someone enters the door and is carrying something, he has to reach out. People leave their names, geese leave their feathers. If you don't take advantage of a little bit, he will pull you and not let you enter the door."

"This kind of behavior has the same effect as Yi Zhonghai's actions, causing great torture to people's spirits. After all, no one wants to be robbed every day, right?"

"It's just that you can't resist this kind of thing. As long as you resist, Yi Zhonghai will suppress it strongly and won't allow you to go to the street or the police station, and for this, he formulated a rule: things in the Siheyuan should be solved in the Siheyuan."

"Since it maintained their power and their interests, it also made their plans continue to be carried out," He Yuzhu sneered.

"Good! Good! Good! It's really good! What about the other one, Liu Haizhong?" Director Wang said through gritted teeth.

"Regarding Yan Bugui, I haven't finished speaking yet. The reason why the people in the courtyard dare not resist Yan Bugui has two more reasons. First, Yan Bugui only takes small advantages, not big ones. For example, if I ride a bicycle into the courtyard today and Yan Bugui sees a bundle of leeks in my pocket, he will pretend to come over to help me lift the car, and then say two polite words. The third sentence is definitely asking what is in my pocket, and then he will take advantage."

"If you don't want him to take too much advantage, just give him a leek, and it's considered passing the level. Yan Bugui doesn't dislike it for being too little. Even if you give him half a leek, he can pass the level, as long as you give it. This is also the reason why he values small profits and takes righteousness lightly."

"I once gave him a small handful of millet and deliberately spilled some. Yan Bugui squatted on the ground to pick it up, not afraid of losing face. This is also the reason why he values small profits and takes righteousness lightly."

"The second reason is because of Yan Bugui's job. Yan Bugui is a teacher, and everyone's children are in the school where he is. If you offend Yan Bugui, what if he gives your child small shoes to wear?"

"It's not easy to teach a child well, but it's too easy to teach a child badly."

"Everyone doesn't need to offend Yan Bugui for this little thing, but it is this kind of little thing that causes the most severe mental torture to people, because this is a subtle type," He Yuzhu said.

"Okay, I know. Regarding how to deal with Yan Bugui, I will be cautious," Director Wang said, suppressing her anger.

"Yan Bugui is not called bad; this is called cowardly, a cunning coward; Yi Zhonghai is smart evil; Liu Haizhong is stupid bad."

"Liu Haizhong might have encountered some hardships before, and he has become obsessed with wanting to be a leader. Liu Haizhong attaches great importance to the position of Second Grand Uncle, thinking that this position is a leader."

"For a period of time, Liu Haizhong didn't allow his wife to call him Old Liu or Old Partner. At home, they all had to call him Second Grand Uncle, and his sons naturally also had to call him Second Grand Uncle."

"Liu Haizhong poses as a leader every moment, and considers himself a leader. He listens to news and current events every day. It's just that his education is limited, and he looks not very smart, often being used as a knife by others without knowing it."

"As long as there is any matter in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong is always the first to jump out. He is not here to solve the problem, but to show off his authority and pose as a leader."

"He doesn't care if you are reasonable or unreasonable, right or wrong, or if you have been wronged. As long as you flatter him on weekdays and treat him as a leader, he will be biased without hesitation."

"Liu Haizhong is a pure person. He doesn't care about right or wrong in his actions, only about distance. However, having said that, Liu Haizhong still has a good side," He Yuzhu said helplessly.

"What? This thing still has a good side?" Director Wang said in shock. He Yuzhu could tell from Director Wang's address to Liu Haizhong that Director Wang was already extremely angry and had no good impression of the three Grand Uncles at all.

"In the Siheyuan, because Liu Haizhong is extremely eager to be a leader and has always wanted to be the First Grand Uncle, Liu Haizhong treats Yi Zhonghai as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, and a stumbling block, wanting to pull Yi Zhonghai down from the position of First Grand Uncle every moment."

"This makes Yi Zhonghai oppose Liu Haizhong instinctively, regardless of right or wrong, no matter what he does, which can be considered a good side for the Siheyuan."

"In the Rolling Mill, it is also because Liu Haizhong is extremely eager to be a leader. This makes Liu Haizhong extra attentive in teaching apprentices and doesn't hide anything from his apprentices. Liu Haizhong is a high-level worker with a real mass base in the Rolling Mill."

"Of course, this also has to do with him wanting to pose as an official. Liu Haizhong enjoys the respectful attitude and various flattery of his apprentices in the process of teaching, which makes Liu Haizhong float, so he naturally won't hide anything."

"How to use this kind of person depends on Factory Director Yang. If used well, Liu Haizhong will teach a large group of professional talents; if not used well, Liu Haizhong will pit you without hesitation. Don't fear an opponent like a god, fear a teammate like a pig. Liu Haizhong is a teammate like a pig," He Yuzhu talked eloquently.

Director Wang and the others had complex expressions. Compared to Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong had some strengths to speak of.

"Liu Haizhong's ability to teach apprentices is true. If it weren't for his limited education, only at the primary school level, I would have promoted him to be a workshop director long ago."

"Since he is not competent as a workshop director, I prepared to let him be a deputy. I have given him more than one chance, but he is really mud that can't support the wall."

"Letting him be a leader is definitely a pit that will pit you without hesitation. Fortunately, I didn't have the idea of letting him progress again, so I just let him be a high-level master worker steadily. I really didn't expect that he wanted to be an official so much," Factory Director Yang said.

"Higher primary school," He Yuzhu said.

"What?" Factory Director Yang was stunned.

"I mean higher primary school. Factory Director Yang, even if you say he is a primary school graduate in front of Liu Haizhong, you have to say he is a higher primary school graduate. This is what he cares about most, and it is also what he insists on most. Even if the Heavenly King comes to say he is a primary school graduate, he dares to turn his face," He Yuzhu explained.

Everyone was collectively speechless.

"Sigh! Old Wang, grassroots work is a long way to go. It's not enough to just publicize the policy. You have to go deep into the grassroots and understand the grassroots."

"Not to mention anything else, just take this small No. 95 Siheyuan. Even using 'the temple is small but the demon wind is big, the water is shallow but there are many turtles' cannot describe the severity of the situation here."

"This kind of Siheyuan was actually awarded the title of Civilized Courtyard. I have to say, it is your dereliction of duty and the dereliction of duty of the entire street."

"On the way here, I chatted with Master He about the people and things in the Siheyuan. I thought I had made enough ideological preparations, but I still underestimated the severity of the situation."

"Fortunately, Master He put forward corresponding suggestions..." Director Zheng began to talk and repeated He Yuzhu's suggestions.
