It's no wonder Yi Zhonghai lost his composure; he had suffered too much humiliation these past two days.
This morning, Jia Dongxu unusually waited for him to go to work together.
After the two arrived at the workshop, Jia Dongxu made tea for Yi Zhonghai and then cleaned and wiped the workbench.
Unexpectedly, just as Jia Dongxu finished wiping, someone deliberately poured oil on him. Jia Dongxu was furious and went to argue, only to be humiliated and even mocked by Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai sat not far away listening to the argument. In anger, he smashed his teacup on the ground, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
In the end, it was Jia Dongxu who had to clean up the mess.
During the morning meeting, the workshop leaders openly and subtly mocked Yi Zhonghai, almost to the point of poking him with their hands after every word.
Yi Zhonghai sat in the first row, his old face flushed red.
Feeling the piercing gazes of the people behind me, I finally understood what it meant to feel like I was being pricked by needles.
Finally, the morning meeting was over, and it was time to assign tasks.
Yi Zhonghai discovered that the tasks that were originally assigned to him had been given to others.
He was holding his anger in and wanted to argue, but Jia Dongxu stopped him, pouring him tea and advising him that it was rare for him to have some free time.
In this way, Yi Zhonghai felt isolated from the entire workshop. He didn't have to do anything; he just watched everyone else busy themselves.
Anyone who passes by him will snort disdainfully, which instantly brings back his anger every time he calms down.
Until he saw Wang Dabao, his heart pounded, hoping that the other party could bring him good news and lead him out of his terrible predicament.
But who could have predicted that Wang Dabao would bring a bomb?
It shattered his hopes, leaving him feeling utterly hopeless.
Wang Dabao lowered his head slowly in surprise. He never expected that Yi Zhonghai had become so vulnerable.
This is just plain utter despair!
Crouching down, Wang Dabao patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder and said softly, "Old Yi, don't get agitated. We still have a glimmer of hope."
As if grasping at a straw, Yi Zhonghai suddenly looked up, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Wang Dabao.
"Da Bao, Da Bao, please save me, I really can't take it anymore."
Wang Dabao helped Yi Zhonghai up from the ground with difficulty: "Although this matter is very difficult, after my constant pleas, he has promised to do his best to handle it, which may alleviate people's opinions of you."
"real?"
The light returned to Yi Zhonghai's eyes, and he excitedly grabbed Wang Dabao's hand, "Dabao, you're not just trying to comfort me, are you?!"
Wang Dabao shook his head, then took out a cigarette and lit one for Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, it's true, I'm not just trying to comfort you. But my comrade has conditions."
Yi Zhonghai was taken aback, but he realized what was happening in less than two seconds.
"Dabao, is it because you don't have enough money? It's okay, I'll get you some more when I get home tonight. Just tell me how much you need, and I'll give it to you."
Wang Dabao's eyes lit up. Wow, he thought to himself, this old guy is really tough to squeeze out of people! He can still get water out of him!
"Old Yi, you're right about one thing, but there's more..."
Wang Dabao looked troubled and hesitated, unsure of how to start the conversation.
"Hey, Da Bao, it's come to this, stop pausing and just tell me everything at once, you're driving me crazy!"
"Old Yi, listen to me. Money is one thing, and he also needs to bribe various parties. I hope you can understand that. But that's secondary. The most important thing is to clear your name. You need to report another person so that the security department can work together to clear your name."
Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to say that money was not a problem, but after hearing what Wang Dabao said next, he was dumbfounded.
She loosened her grip on Wang Dabao's hand.
The mouth is open and can't be closed!
"Still want to report me...?" Yi Zhonghai stared blankly ahead, his mind a jumble of thoughts.
He did have someone in mind, but it was still someone from their fitter workshop. Besides, he couldn't possibly see if workers from other workshops were committing crimes.
But the lesson from last time was profound enough that he would never dare to do it again this time!
What if the information is leaked again?!
I'm afraid all he can do is resign voluntarily. Forget about changing workshops. Even if he's an eighth-grade worker, no workshop would dare to hire someone like that. He's a total ticking time bomb!
Seeing Yi Zhonghai standing there dumbfounded, Wang Dabao spoke up to remind him: "Old Yi, time is of the essence. Make a decision as soon as possible, or you'll miss this opportunity. Think about your current situation."
"Also, you can rest assured this time, not a single word of the information will leak out."
"real?"
Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth and spoke indistinctly, as if if Wang Dabao hesitated for even a second, his tears would stream down his face.
Wang Dabao nodded earnestly: "Old Yi, trust me!"
Yi Zhonghai choked back tears and sniffed hard. Then, steeling his resolve, he gritted his teeth and said, "Da Bao, I believe you!"
“Jiang Ming, who manages the spare parts warehouse in our fitter's workshop, and Zhang Erniu, the truck driver, are relatives. They often take advantage of their positions to transport items out of the factory. Most of these items are spare parts that have been piling up in the warehouse for years and have been forgotten by everyone…”
"Good, Lao Yi, the clue you provided is very important. I think this matter even warrants a reward for you!"
"No, no, no, Da Bao, my good brother, how could I dare to accept the reward? Please don't let anyone know that I was the one who reported it, otherwise I really won't be able to work in the factory anymore."
Wang Dabao nodded thoughtfully.
He originally only intended to tease Yi Zhonghai, but unexpectedly he pulled out a big fish.
Such an incident occurring within the steel rolling mill is a serious oversight by the security department.
"Alright, Lao Yi, go back now. I'll report this to the security department." Wang Dabao patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder and comforted him, "I'll bring up your matter again, and there's a good chance it will be resolved."
"Sigh, good, good!"
Upon hearing that it could be done, Yi Zhonghai forced a smile. But then, feeling it wasn't quite right, he grabbed Wang Dabao's arm. "Dabao, my good brother, we still have money. Just tell me how much you need, and I'll give it to you tonight."
Wang Dabao really wanted to slap himself. How could he have forgotten such an important thing in his haste?
Thanks to Yi Zhonghai's reminder, this didn't cause any delays!
"Old Yi, you don't need much. I think another two hundred will be enough."
"No, Da Bao, let's handle things carefully. I'll prepare three hundred for you. You can use that to thank your comrade for your older brother, treat him to a meal or buy him some things."
"That's why I say you're capable of being an official, Lao Yi. You've thought this through quite thoroughly. Okay, then prepare three hundred. But don't worry, I'll get the rest back for you."
"No, please don't take it back! Spend it all! I'll be at ease if you spend it all!"
