Chapter 65

"You are nothing but a total hypocrite; what are you still acting like a big bad wolf here for?"

"Ever since I moved into this Sihe Academy, you haven't stopped going against me. Do you really think I'm that easy to talk to?"

Upon hearing these words, First Uncle's expression immediately turned dark and uncertain.

Now that he had been scolded so fiercely by the other party, his reputation could be said to have plummeted.

Meanwhile, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Xu Damao were snickering to themselves on the side.

"So you old rascal have a day like this too!"

From this moment on, First Uncle's prestige could be considered to have hit zero.

In the future, others likely wouldn't be so obedient to him, and even the seat beneath his own backside might no longer be secure.

……

"Yi Zhonghai, you like speaking up for Mrs. Jia so much—do you have a hand in this matter too?"

Seeing that the other party was still obstructing him and Chen Tian, Section Chief Wang's face showed his displeasure.

One must know that whenever his Security Section did things on a daily basis, they were always swift and unstoppable.

After all, those they arrested were always the troublemakers in the factory.

This old woman framing Chen Tian as some kind of secret agent—the nature of this matter was already quite serious.

Moreover, Chen Tian's status was that of a high-level engineer sent down by the state, responsible for such important work.

If their Security Section had really dragged him in just now, the resulting impact would have been unimaginable.

Not to mention delaying the important steelmaking process, if the superiors were to blame them later, they might even end up in jail themselves.

Hearing Section Chief Wang say this, First Uncle was instantly thrown into a panic.

He knew this charge was far too heavy; he couldn't afford to bear it.

"Section Chief Wang, you are being too serious; this matter cannot be interpreted that way."

"How could I possibly conspire with people from the Jia family on such a matter?"

"I just feel that since we are all neighbors who see each other every day, there is no need to take things to this extent."

First Uncle waved his hands hurriedly, vehemently denying it.

With even the people from the Security Section saying this, he truly didn't dare to say anything more.

"If that's how you see it, then that is understandable."

"The things Mrs. Jia has done this time are quite malicious in their impact; I hope you won't make such mistakes in the future."

"As for how to deal with her, let's just follow Chief Engineer Chen's requirements."

As Section Chief Wang spoke, his tone became increasingly respectful.

After all, the other party's status as a high-level engineer was much greater than his own, making him worthy of such respect.

……

After the other party said this, First Uncle could be said to have absolutely no face left.

Furthermore, being scolded like that by Chen Tian in front of everyone else in the Sihe Academy, he didn't even dare to let out a peep.

With the situation having developed to this point, First Uncle made up his mind.

From now on, he would never say another word regarding that fat old woman.

As long as she stayed honestly in jail, the air in the Sihe Academy would surely be much cleaner.

Although doing this would increase Qin Huairu's burden.

After all, if she had to go to work, there would be no one to help look after the family.

But First Uncle had his own thoughts.

If it really didn't work out, he would just have First Aunt go over to help.

Anyway, she was usually bored staying at home by herself.

It would be better to let her go help look after the children or something.

When the time came, Qin Huairu would surely be grateful to him for it.

He would then find another opportunity to have her separate from that thing, Jia Dongxu.

Afterwards, he would matchmake Sha Zhu and her together.

In that case, those few children could also stay with Qin Huairu.

He and First Aunt could also help them watch over those children.

Then, the matter of them providing for his old age and seeing him off would be a matter of course.

Anyway, he had no children now, and no one to inherit all the things he had saved up.

If Sha Zhu was truly good to him, it wouldn't matter if he gave these things to him.

Once he had thought it through, First Uncle actually felt that letting Mrs. Jia go to jail was a pretty good choice.

So he shut his mouth and just watched the development of events quietly.

At the same time, he was also hoping that Chen Tian would not accept the other party's apology and would rather have her go straight to jail.

To others, it was obvious that First Uncle had been scared stiff by Chen Tian's scolding.

So now he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, let alone speak up to refute.

Because of this, the others in the Sihe Academy began pointing fingers at him.

Second Uncle was overjoyed at this moment.

In his view, First Uncle had absolutely no face left this time.

Even that long-maintained persona of being "great, glorious, and correct" showed signs of collapsing.

"Old Yi, Old Yi, you've sat in this position for so long; it's time to step down and let someone more capable take over."

"This so-called position of First Uncle should be my turn to try out."

Second Uncle was incredibly excited at this moment; he was determined to use this opportunity to suppress the other party.

He had worked in the factory for decades, but had always lived under the other party's shadow.

First Uncle had passed the level-eight fitter exam years ago, while Second Uncle, despite his efforts over the years, was still only a level seven.

Even in this courtyard, the other party was the high-and-mighty First Uncle, while he was just a Second Uncle with no say.

Wanting to climb to the top without the strength—that describes this Second Uncle, Liu Haizhong.

He only had the education level of a second or third-grade primary school student, but his obsession with power was particularly heavy.

In reality, he was a total fence-sitter, a person who swayed with the wind.

In the original plot.

Lou Xiaoe's family was originally of the bourgeoisie.

And Second Uncle, for his own interests, colluded with her husband Xu Damao to directly report her family's historical background.

In the end, he caused Lou Xiaoe's whole family to flee to Hong Kong.

And under the Deaf Old Lady's arrangement, Lou Xiaoe had that one night with Sha Zhu.

Finally, Second Uncle also successfully climbed to the top, becoming the action captain of the Security Section.

After sitting in that position, he didn't hold back in dealing with those who didn't get along with him.
