Seeing that the crowd below had finished discussing, Officer Liu continued.
"Although this matter is over, it has served as a wake-up call for everyone. We live in a new society now, so please abandon your old bad habits, do things cleanly, and be upright people."
"Clap clap clap..."
"Alright, we've talked enough. There's only one last thing left today: who will be the new manager? I'm sure everyone is eager to find out, hehe!"
"Hahaha……."
Liu Haizhong was already prepared. As soon as Secretary Liu made the announcement, he would stand up immediately and say a few more words. He had already thought of his speech.
Seeing that the atmosphere was sufficiently set, Officer Liu stopped being mysterious and directly made the appointment.
"After deliberation by our subdistrict office, Comrade Sun Dajiang has been appointed as the new manager of the courtyard, also known as 'Uncle Sun'. We hope everyone will cooperate fully to build a harmonious and beautiful home together."
Before anyone could even applaud, Liu Haizhong suddenly stood up with a "whoosh".
All eyes instantly focused on Liu Haizhong. Everyone was puzzled as to why he was standing there grinning like an idiot. Had his brain been stimulated by not becoming an old man?
"Liu Haizhong, what are you doing?"
Officer Liu asked, puzzled. He really couldn't understand what was wrong with Liu Haizhong's hair.
Liu Haizhong then realized that he had been too happy for too long; Sun Dajiang had replaced Yi Zhonghai and become the new eldest uncle.
Seeing that the die is cast, Liu Haizhong can't just stand there any longer; he needs to get through this current hurdle first!
"Officer Liu, I'm so excited! Everyone's been looking forward to Section Chief Sun! I'm standing up to give him a warm welcome. Shall we all give Section Chief Sun a round of applause?"
"Clap clap clap..."
Those who didn't understand were happily clapping, while the intelligent people were dismissive, even showing disdain.
Seeing that he had finally managed to smooth things over, Liu Haizhong quickly sat down after clapping, but his expression was not good. Just as Yan Bugui had guessed, he had a deadpan look on his face.
"Section Chief Sun, come to the front."
Officer Liu made room for Sun Dajiang to come up on stage.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Dajiang showed no stage fright and strode forward.
"Next, the newly appointed manager, Sun Dajiang, will say a few words. Please give him a round of applause."
After Officer Liu finished speaking, he led the applause.
"Clap clap clap..."
After the applause stopped, Sun Dajiang looked at the audience and began to speak.
"Good evening, everyone. I believe you all know me, so I won't go into too much detail. First of all, I want to thank the neighborhood committee for their trust in me. Also..."
"Clap clap clap..."
After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, Officer Liu saw that it was getting late and that all the necessary tasks had been completed, so he adjourned the meeting and then called Yan Bugui over, asking him to inform Yi Zhonghai about the content of tonight's meeting.
Does Ke Yizhonghai need to be notified?
He was already lying in bed, having listened to the entire live broadcast, and already knew that he had been removed from the program.
Fortunately, I was so angry that I vomited blood, otherwise my old face would have been pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly tonight.
The neighborhood committee is no longer pursuing the matter, and the factory probably won't either.
But Yi Zhonghai suffered a very heavy loss this time. He didn't care much about the old man in the compound, but the key thing was that his reputation was completely ruined, which was what he valued most.
An older woman, or rather, Aunt Yi, sat there with a worried expression.
She also listened to the live broadcast of the conference tonight, and she wholeheartedly agreed that Yi Zhonghai should not become an old man. That so-called old man is just too much trouble.
But now the problem is that her husband's reputation is ruined. Although the neighborhood committee has issued a gag order, once he leaves this compound, people will definitely point fingers and gossip.
Aunt Yi is really worried!
I'm just a woman, why is it so hard for me to live a peaceful life?
The Yi family was just having a headache when the uninvited guest, Yan Bugui, arrived.
Upon seeing the situation inside the room, Yan Bugui didn't intend to stay any longer. He quickly recounted the decisions made at the meeting and then took his leave to go home.
Meanwhile, Liu Haizhong, who lives in the backyard, has just returned home and is sitting alone at the table, looking sullen!
Upon seeing this, the sons wisely retreated to their rooms, leaving only the couple in the main room.
"Hey! Honey, tell me, shouldn't this 'old man' position be mine by now? Why was Sun Dajiang chosen?"
The second aunt on the side didn't know how to comfort him. She knew that her husband was obsessed with officialdom, and if she didn't get to the bottom of things tonight, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully.
But how should we persuade them?
Auntie Er pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. This idea might work, so she tried it out.
"Honey, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's right or wrong. Please don't be angry if I say something wrong."
Liu Haizhong, standing to the side, grasped at a straw and hurriedly said.
"Tell us quickly! It's okay if you say something wrong, we're discussing it right now!"
"Do you think it's possible that Sun Dajiang and his wife were both cadres at the steel rolling mill, which is why they chose Sun Dajiang?"
After the second aunt finished speaking, she looked at Liu Haizhong cautiously, afraid that she might say something wrong again and that Liu Haizhong might suddenly attack her.
Liu Haizhong didn't notice his second aunt's little actions; at that moment, his mind was filled with his wife's words.
He felt that what his wife said was close to the truth. If he could become a workshop director in the factory, he would be the clear winner in this election.
At that moment, he realized that he was not strong enough, so why should he compete with others for an old man? In fact, the old man was delivered to his door without him even having to compete.
Believe it or not, Liu Haizhong actually figured out the truth of the matter while he was thinking about it. Sun Dajiang was able to become an old man by offering himself up.
After realizing his mistake, Liu Haizhong stopped obsessing over trivial matters and secretly vowed to secure a position in the steel rolling mill in the future.
"Okay, I'm fine now, go to sleep!"
The sudden movement of Liu Haizhong startled Aunt Er, who instinctively took three steps back. However, after hearing that nothing was wrong, she relaxed and the two went back to their room to sleep.
At this moment, the happiest family was Sun Dajiang's family. Although they didn't care too much, they were still quite happy to have become the "big brother" of the family, since they would have more say in the courtyard.
The family chatted happily for a while, and then Sun Dajiang sent the children to rest.
In short, Sun Dajiang becoming an old man did not cause much of a stir, except for a few people.
For the neighbors in the compound, it doesn't matter who takes the blame.
We ordinary folks want real benefits; it would be better to just give each family a small gift.
That's all!
