After Wu Mingjuan left Aunt Wang's house, she cycled to the area near the steel rolling mill, intending to inquire about Yi Zhonghai's reputation. She did not dare to believe everything Aunt Wang said.
Yi Zhonghai is relatively well-known in the steel rolling mill. When it comes to Yi Zhonghai, basically everyone knows it.
Speaking of Yi Zhonghai, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is that he bullied the military martyrs and was demoted from an eighth-level fitter to a fifth-level fitter.
Some people also say that Yi Zhonghai was selfish and did not teach his apprentices his true skills, which led his apprentices to choose to sever ties with him.
Among them was a man who called himself Guo Dazhi. He made the most explosive remarks, saying that Yi Zhonghai was an out-and-out hypocrite and a natural-born eunuch. Wu Mingjuan selectively ignored his words, obviously with the mood of retaliation.
However, after this understanding, she finally understood that she was still young and ignorant, and was almost confused by Yi Zhonghai and others.
At the same time, he also felt angry. These people had obviously used a stick to fool him. She decided to end the farce in the Red Star Courtyard as soon as possible.
…
After Zhang Zhifei finished his day's work, he was stopped by Wu Mingjuan when he was riding his bike back to the Hutong entrance of the Siheyuan.
"Director Wu, what do you want from me?" Zhang Zhifei asked doubtfully.
"As for the matter in your hospital, I originally planned to go to your house, but then I thought it was not appropriate. Let's sit in the small restaurant in front and I will cook." Wu Mingjuan looked at Zhang Zhifei, who was full of heroic spirit with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was a little moved.
She thought to herself that if she hadn't been married, Zhang Zhifei would definitely be a good match. He was handsome and had a good job.
Zhang Zhifei thought for a while and said, "Okay, you go first. I'll go home and tell my brothers and sisters, and I'll be there soon."
"No need, I just came out of your house and told your sister Zhang Lili."
Zhang Zhifei pushed the cart and followed Wu Mingjuan. The two chatted about some insignificant things, and within a few minutes they arrived at a restaurant outside.
After Wu Mingjuan ordered the food, she began to talk about her purpose.
"Zhang Zhifei, the deaf old lady in your hospital recommended Yi Zhonghai to be the steward of your hospital. He was dismissed from his post because he bullied you. I want to know about Yi Zhonghai's personality from you." Wu Mingjuan was not prepared to come forward immediately. Let’s get into the topic.
"Yue Buqun." Zhang Zhifei blurted out. After saying it, he felt that he had made a mistake. Yue Buqun had not been created yet.
"What group?" Wu Mingjuan didn't hear clearly.
Zhang Zhifei really wanted to slap himself in the mouth, but he couldn't speak clearly. It seems that he must pay attention to it in the future.
He warned himself that he must think twice before speaking in the future.
In this era, it is common for people to say the wrong thing and get criticized.
"It's not a group, it's a calculation master." Zhang Zhifei racked his brains to come up with such a word.
"The abacus master?" Wu Mingjuan didn't understand. From what he knew, Yi Zhonghai's character was not good, but Yan Bugui was the abacus master. What did this have to do with Yi Zhonghai.
Zhang Zhifei had no choice but to come back on his own. He explained: "Everyone knows that the third uncle of the Red Star Courtyard, Yan Bugui, is the stingiest. It is true that the third uncle is an iron rooster who never plucks a dime.
In my opinion, the reason why he became an iron rooster is that his salary is not as high as the other two uncles, and the character he has developed since he was a child is stingy.
However, if he thought about it carefully, his calculations were not precise.
He and his children have to settle matters so clearly. Will their children also have to settle matters with him in the future? This person has given up all family ties. He is not really a calculating person, he is just a simple iron rooster. "
Zhang Zhifei took a sip of water from the table, moistened his throat, and continued to Wu Mingjuan, who was listening carefully: "It is not an exaggeration to say that Yi Zhonghai is a calculating person. He has no children and no one to support him in old age. Given the current situation of our country, Raising a child is easy.
As long as he raises the child, he is afraid that no one will provide for him in old age, but this person only wants to have sex for nothing and does not want to spend money to raise the child. This is a typical villain's heart and selfishness.
He just wanted to find a ready-made pensioner, and eventually Jia Dongxu, who lost his father, came into his sight.
Jia Dongxu has a good character, but because of Jia Zhang's family name, he is the only one with a non-agricultural registered permanent residence in the family, making life difficult. Especially since the grain supply system was implemented, his family has been in a state of disruption.
Yi Zhonghai wanted Jia Dongxu to provide for him in his old age, but he didn't want to pay. But regardless of Jia Dongxu's family, there is a real possibility that his family will starve to death.
The last way Yi Zhonghai came up with was to use his status as the steward to plunder money from other residents to support Jia Dongxu's family. You may say that his abacus was neither sound nor accurate. "
Wu Mingjuan was stunned when she heard this. She could not imagine that there was such a person.
The two were about to continue chatting when the food was served and they chatted while eating.
Wu Mingjuan took a mouthful of rice, looked at Zhang Zhifei and said: "It seems that it is indeed inappropriate to let Yi Zhonghai be the steward.
It's just that there are too many trivial matters in your hospital. I can't come to your hospital every day to mediate disputes. What suggestions do you have for this? "
Zhang Zhifei felt his head hurt when he thought about the troubles in the courtyard. He didn't know what the feng shui was here, raising such a group of "crouching dragons and phoenix chicks."
"Director Wu, we can't send Mr. Jia and Zhang back to their hometown in the countryside." Zhang Zhifei thought for a while and suggested.
Wu Mingjuan said awkwardly: "In principle, it is indeed possible, but you also know the situation of the Jia Zhang family. Their family has lived in Yanjing for many years, and now they have nothing when they go back, not even a place to live.
It's okay in summer, you can deal with it anywhere you want, but what to do in winter, it can freeze people to death. Although Jia Zhang is hateful, his crime is not worthy of death. "
After listening to Wu Mingjuan's words, Zhang Zhifei knew that this was a soft-hearted master.
That's when Jia Zhang met her. If some tyrannical street office officials had driven her back to her hometown in the countryside, regardless of other objective reasons.
"Director Wu, to be honest, I think the Jia family's difficulties can only be solved from two aspects.
One is Yi Zhonghai's help. This is the person he selected for retirement. He doesn't help anyone. With his financial resources, he is fully capable of helping the Jia family.
Second, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu have to go out to work. The subdistrict office can arrange some simple jobs for them, which is regarded as taking care of the poor. "Zhang Zhifei thought for a while and said his own solution. He had long disliked Yi Zhonghai. Let's see how he responds.
Wu Mingjuan asked doubtfully: "Can Yi Zhonghai support the Jia family?"
Zhang Zhifei said: "Yi Zhonghai used to be an eighth-level fitter, and his monthly salary was as high as 99 yuan. He and his aunt didn't spend much at all, so they should have saved a lot of money.
Moreover, he was demoted to the current level five fitter and received a salary of 63 yuan a month! Jia Dongxu is a third-level fitter and earns a salary of 42 yuan. Their combined salary is 105 yuan, which is enough for the two of them. "
Wu Mingjuan no longer had any doubts, and immediately stated the biggest purpose of her trip and invited Zhang Zhifei to be the steward.
"You're not joking, you want me to be a master, I'm not married yet!" Zhang Zhifei flatly refused.
Wu Mingjuan knew that Zhang Zhifei was not willing to be the supervisor through Aunt Wang's analysis.
But she really had no choice, so she had to let Zhang Zhifei take the job. She explained immediately: "Comrade Zhang Zhifei, no one stipulates that the steward must be an older person, and young people can also be qualified. You are better than Yi Zhonghai as the steward." Strong."
Zhang Zhifei really couldn't refuse Wu Mingjuan's kindness. If he really wanted to let that old guy Yi Zhonghai go, it would really be a toad on his feet - it would be disgusting if he didn't bite.
"Director Wu, this steward also needs to be elected by the general assembly. With Yi Zhonghai's methods, I guess I can't compete with him. Even if I want to, I have little hope." Zhang Zhifei said.
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you are willing." Wu Mingjuan obviously had some arrangements.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted while eating, and Zhang Zhifei introduced the situation of other courtyard residents to Wu Mingjuan.
Unknowingly, the two of them chatted until about 9 o'clock in the evening, and the conversation ended at the urging of the waiter.
"Zhang Zhifei, let's say goodbye then. After get off work tomorrow, I will go to your courtyard to preside over the election of the new steward." Wu Mingjuan said.
"It's getting late, Director Wu. Let me see you off. You're still a bit dangerous as a girl." Zhang Zhifei didn't dare to let her go alone. It was still dangerous at the moment, but this was different from the situation in later generations when there were cameras everywhere.
Wu Mingjuan did not refuse, and went back to her home with Zhang Zhifei. After watching Wu Mingjuan enter the hospital, Zhang Zhifei left.
After returning home, his brothers and sisters had already rested. Zhang Zhifei did not disturb them. After washing, he read a book for a while before going to rest.
Tomorrow's election for the steward, I wonder what trouble will happen again.
