Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 252 Jia Dongxu: I still have a lot to learn

Yi Zhonghai felt that he had experienced great ups and downs in the past two days.

My life was almost ruined because of this rumor.

Fortunately, he knew a brother like Dabao, and fortunately, Wang Dabao helped him regardless of the past grudges. Yi Zhonghai was so grateful.

Until the end of the shift, co-workers kept coming up to him to try to get close to him and chat with him about random things.

This made Yi Zhonghai feel extremely proud and he felt that his say in the workshop was almost greater than that of the workshop director.

As the workday was getting close, two junior leaders from the workshop specially brought some tea and cigarettes, saying that they wanted him to take them home and try them. Jia Dongxu, who was standing next to him, even got a cigarette to smoke.

During the after-shift meeting, workshop director Zhou praised Yi Zhonghai highly.

Only old comrades like Master Yi can withstand the test of the organization and are called the "pillar" of the workshop.

Not only that, but we will also organize an atmosphere within the workshop to learn from Master Yi Zhonghai.

Beforehand, Director Zhou tactfully asked Yi Zhonghai whether he would be willing to give two locksmith classes to the workers in the workshop. Yi Zhonghai readily agreed. He knew that this was the best time for him to consolidate his reputation. Maybe next year he could become a leader.

At the end of the meeting, Director Zhou proposed to reward Yi Zhonghai with 20 yuan, which would also serve as compensation for the workshop's injustice against him.

The workers shouted that Master Yi should take the money, and no one disagreed.

However, Yi Zhonghai showed an attitude of being unable to accept it and refused repeatedly.

Finally, seeing that the on-site effect was almost achieved, Yi Zhonghai stood up and spoke. As for official jargon, he had been the head of the compound for so many years that he was very good at it.

"I feel honored that everyone thinks highly of me, Yi Zhonghai. But I feel guilty. Although I am an eighth-level worker, I have not made much contribution to the workshop and the factory after working for so many years."

"With regard to this rumor and everyone's misunderstanding of me, many people asked me why I didn't refute it when I was treated unfairly, and why I didn't argue when I was ridiculed. But I thought, no matter how much I refute or argue, what will be the result in the end? It won't change other people's prejudices about things or people, so I chose to remain silent."

"Now that the truth has come out and the factory has cleared my name, I am still at peace."

Yi Zhonghai paused, looked around, and continued, "Twenty yuan is not a small amount for me or the workers present here, but I still feel unworthy of it."

"So if the leader insists on rewarding me, I think it would be better to use the money to buy some tea and cigarettes to share with everyone. It's cold now, and drinking some hot tea can warm everyone up while they work."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Director Zhou and some leaders of the workshop took the lead in applauding.

Afterwards, there was applause in the workshop.

Fellow workers expressed their praise for Yi Zhonghai.

"Look, this is a real master. Although Master Yi's salary is high, twenty yuan is really a lot. He can use it to buy tea for us. Who can do this? Anyway, I can't bear to part with it!"

"That's right. I just came to our workshop not long ago. I heard people say that Master Yi has high moral standards. Now I see that he is even better than what everyone says."

"Old Yi never complained about his grievances, but now he is so generous to everyone. It really makes us feel ashamed!"

Yi Zhonghai's reputation reached its peak in the workshop.

This was something Wang Dabao had not foreseen. He did not expect that this incident would enhance Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the workshop.

Of course, even if he could foresee it, he would not miss the opportunity to cheat Yi Zhonghai out of a few hundred dollars.

Jia Dongxu almost vomited after listening to it.

He saw how much impact the rumors had on Yi Zhonghai.

Not to mention anything else, just say that yesterday afternoon so many people ridiculed and insulted Yi Zhonghai. In front of others, he pretended to be quite calm, but behind the scenes Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. If you gave him a knife, he would definitely stab those people.

How come I felt calm within just one day?

Also, when the rumors were spreading, Yi Zhonghai was as anxious as a flea in a hot pot, and he was so angry that he almost jumped up and down. Now tell me, how come you are calm inside!!!

No argument, no debate?

Who caught a co-worker and explained that he had nothing to do with the rumor!!!

Could it be that for Yi Zhonghai, these things were all from his previous life and he had forgotten them long ago!!!

At this moment, Jia Dongxu deeply realized that he still had a lot to learn from his master!

Including Jia Dongxu, the status of Yi Zhonghai's four apprentices in the workshop have been significantly improved. It can be said that if one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.

After get off work, Yi Zhonghai walked out of the workshop door amid the greetings of many co-workers.

Walking the distance from the workshop to the factory gate, Yi Zhonghai felt that he had never felt so relaxed. He looked up at the sky and realized that he had never noticed before that the scenery was so beautiful.

On the way back to the compound, Jia Dongxu followed Yi Zhonghai and told him about the change in the attitude towards their master and apprentice in the workshop.

Even though Jia Dongxu kept complimenting Yi Zhonghai, all he got in return was a perfunctory "hmm".

But what made Jia Dongxu happy was that Yi Zhonghai no longer objected to him calling him master, which was obviously a good sign.

The factory's problems were solved, which relieved Yi Zhonghai of a worry. Otherwise, he would not be able to enjoy his meals or sleep well. The next step was to thank Wang Dabao and reconcile the relationship with Sha Zhu.

Both of these things are extremely important.

Glancing at Jia Dongxu beside him, Yi Zhonghai calmed down and said, "Dongxu, go home first. I remember I have to go buy some things."

"It's okay, Master. I'm free at home anyway. It's just a matter of walking a few more steps. I'll go with you."

"No, you go back first. I don't know how long it will take to buy it."

"Well... okay, Master, I'll go back first." Jia Dongxu's smiling look disappeared. It was not until Yi Zhonghai's tone changed that he realized that the other party didn't want to take him with him.

On the way back to the compound, Jia Dongxu sneezed and gritted his teeth in anger. He was exhausted after pretending to be the grandson in front of Yi Zhonghai for a whole day.

What's more, he knelt shirtless for so long last night that he caught a cold.

"Why are you so proud? Have you forgotten how miserable you were yesterday? And you are still giving me a cold shoulder. Sooner or later, all your things will be mine. Then I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Jia Dongxu muttered softly and kicked the small stones on the side of the road.

Xiao Shitou was kicked about ten meters away with a scream from Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu rolled on the ground holding his foot. He was so angry that he forgot that the injury on his foot had not healed yet.

He grimaced for a while until the pain eased, then Jia Dongxu stood up and limped home.
