Liu Haizhong even started speaking in official jargon, unaware that Yi Zhonghai wanted to get away from all this trouble. So he simply went along with it and resigned from his position as "Uncle Yi" to please them.
Liu Haizhong became the new eldest uncle, Yan Bugui was promoted to second eldest uncle, and Xu Damao became a young cadre combining old, middle-aged and young people.
The first thing he did after taking office was to mess with Sha Zhu!
In this space, because Fatty stole Sha Zhu's opportunity, he naturally couldn't frequently visit Sha Zhu's house to play Go with the big boss or bring home the valuable phonograph.
On the contrary, with the downfall of Director Yang, he was also targeted by the canteen director, who made him clean the warehouse every day and deal with old, trivial matters.
Therefore, Sha Zhu was also in the yard today. After being called over by Liu Guangtian, he kicked Xu Damao in the groin again in the face of Xu Damao's aggressive behavior.
The pain made Xu Damao clench his legs together, and he complained to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui...
Liu Haizhong was very dissatisfied: "Shazhu, you don't respect me at all!"
Yan Bugui seized the opportunity to kick someone when they were down: "Shazhu, you're the root of all evil in our courtyard!"
Who knew that Sha Zhu would turn on him so suddenly: "Get out of here! Who the hell do you think you are?"
Yan Bugui was both anxious and angry: "I'm a leader in the institute now!"
Sha Zhu became even more impolite: "What kind of leader are you! You? Do you even know what a leader's name is? How do you walk? How many fingers do you have? Do you understand? You want to be a leader..."
They seized the opportunity to give Yan Bugui a good dressing down!
He was so angry he couldn't speak, he could only point his finger at Sha Zhu and say, "You..."
"What do you mean, 'you'?! Let me ask you this: Qin Huairu spoke up for me in front of Teacher Ran, and what did you say?! You took so many of my local specialties, and you told her it wasn't appropriate? I think it was appropriate for you! Oh, and about that 5 yuan you tried to extort from me, Qin Huairu asked Yu Li, and she never accepted that 5 yuan!"
The fat man couldn't help but ask, "Five yuan? What five yuan? How does this have to do with my wife?"
Uncle San felt guilty and dared not answer, while Sha Zhu was even more unwilling to recall the unbearable past of being forced to apologize to Fatty, write a guarantee, and be extorted 5 yuan by Uncle San.
The fat man snorted coldly, thinking he would find out by asking Yu Li when he got back.
Yan Bugui's past has been exposed, so he can only change the subject: "Shazhu! We're talking politics here, I'm warning you..."
"What are you warning me for? I'm talking about marriage! Get lost!"
Yan Bugui's eyes were bloodshot. He considered himself a cultured man, and when had he ever been insulted like this?
"How dare you swear at me?"
"Scolding you is too lenient! So you're the one with a wife and kids, while I'm still single. Once I get married, I'll talk to you about national affairs every day, I'll talk to you about atomic bombs. Go, get some local specialties, and that 5 yuan, go!"
Sha Zhu wasn't satisfied after cursing Yan Bugui, so he also cursed Liu Haizhong.
Every word he uttered was a direct stab to his lungs, saying that if he wanted to be a leader, he was dreaming and only deserved to embarrass himself!
The meeting ended in discord.
Back home, Fatty asked Yu Li, "What happened?"
Yu Li pondered, "I don't know the specifics, but I ran into Sha Zhu that day, and he asked me if my third uncle had given our family 5 yuan. I said, 'He's so stingy, how could he possibly give us that much!'"
"So that's how it is," the fat man explained. "It was the time he tried to attack me with a kitchen knife. Yi Zhonghai and the others said they'd make me write a guarantee and compensate me 5 yuan so I would plead with the factory leaders on his behalf. Do you think I'm short of 5 yuan? I'd be a fool to take their money! Now it seems Yan Bugui hid that 5 yuan..."
Yu Li was furious: "He's just... way too much!"
"..."
On Monday morning, when Fatty was in the office of Deputy Factory Director Li—oh, I should call him Director Li now—discussing today's special meal, Liu Haizhong, dressed in his work uniform, knocked on the door and came in, trembling.
The fat man glanced at him and guessed what he wanted to do. He said to Li Huaide, "Director, I'll head out now."
To everyone's surprise, Li Huaide raised his hand and said, "No need, you're not an outsider."
After he finished speaking, he scrutinized Liu Haizhong for a moment and asked, "Who are you?"
Liu Haizhong first introduced himself, then, seeing that the fat man was also there, he stammered and couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Li Huaide was displeased and said to the fat man, "Then you should go back first. Think about what I told you before."
Li Huaide had previously asked Fatty if he wanted to be the leader of the workers' picket team, but Fatty refused without hesitation. He would leave such an offensive and immoral job to Liu Haizhong, and he would never do it!
Sure enough, after the fat man left, Liu Haizhong acted like a lapdog, wanting to "report some problems" to Director Li.
Li Huaide was worried about not having a suitable candidate when he saw Liu Haizhong, who looked simple-minded and was over fifty years old and about to retire.
The key issue is that he lacks education and is not very shrewd. He revealed his true nature in just a few words: "I can do whatever I want to them."
Li Huaide was satisfied. What he wanted was someone who knew how to mess with people and dared to mess with people. This fringe was just the right size!
Liu Haizhong transformed himself into the captain of the workers' disciplinary team and a "powerful figure" in the factory.
When the fat man went home at noon, he ran into Qin Jingru at the factory gate.
This silly girl came to see Xu Damao, but the factory security wouldn't let her in, so she could only stand in the sun.
She came to talk to Xu Damao about breaking up. It turned out that Xu Damao had been dragging his feet on her and hadn't given her an explanation, so she didn't want to work there anymore.
Qin Jingru returned to the courtyard house in the afternoon, and Sha Zhu saw her and thought that another opportunity had come.
Unexpectedly, he was taken away by Liu Haizhong as soon as he started his night shift.
This guy even went home to change his clothes. He put on a shirt and changed into dark-colored trousers that only leaders wear. On his feet, he somehow found a pair of leather shoes, and he wasn't wearing socks. The toes of the shoes were even sticking up...
Good heavens! This outfit almost made the fat guy need to wash his eyes.
Having caught Sha Zhu, he wanted to demonstrate his authority in the canteen: "Well, Sha Zhu was locked up by me because he disobeyed the factory leaders and had conduct issues!"
When no one paid any attention to him, he got so angry that he didn't care whose teacup it was on the table and started banging on the lid.
Liu Haizhong didn't know, because Sha Zhu used to like banging on his teacup all the time, which was an absolute taboo in the cafeteria.
Sure enough, Old Wang, the squad leader, was the first to object: "Hehehe! What are you doing here?"
Liu Haizhong slammed his teacup on the table: "I'm the newly appointed leader of the workers' disciplinary team in our factory!"
