Yi Zhonghai deeply regretted his past actions. When Wang Dabao first moved into the compound, he actually regarded him as an obstacle and wanted to teach him a lesson.
How foolish we were!
Let's take a look at Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and Xu Damao, who are close to Wang Dabao.
Liu Haizhong became the eldest uncle, and Yan Bugui became the second eldest uncle. His family made a lot of money from the movie screenings.
Especially Xu Damao, the little Karami whom he had once looked down upon, had actually climbed up to his head and transformed into the third uncle of the compound.
Who would have thought that Xu Damao, this young man, could push himself down and become a mediator on equal footing with Liu Haizhong and others?
Yi Zhonghai deeply regrets his past actions, his heart filled with bitter tears!
However, it's not too late for me to realize this now. That's why Wang Dabao gave me the best advice when he saw my dejected state.
Seeing Wang Dabao's ambiguous smile, Yi Zhonghai felt a chill run down his spine.
This was definitely not a casual remark; it was a subtle reminder!
He secretly vowed that if Yi Zhonghai ever made a comeback, he would definitely repay Wang Dabao properly and would never forget the kindness he had shown him.
Yi Zhonghai stepped forward excitedly, "Brother Da Bao, you've really woken me up from my dream!"
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai understood his words, Wang Dabao smiled and shook his head: "Old Yi, you're not young anymore. You can be more open-minded. Everyone recognizes your abilities. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. It's your duty as veteran workers to train young people for the factory!"
"Yes, yes, Section Chief Wang, you're right. I didn't realize it!"
Yi Zhonghai had regret on his face, but only he knew whether it was genuine regret or just an act. "After your reminder, I realized that I will definitely follow Section Chief Wang's teachings and use all my skills to train more talents for the factory."
Hearing Yi Zhonghai address him as "Section Chief Wang" repeatedly, Liu Haizhong and the others couldn't help but turn their attention to him.
Wang Dabao feigned anger: "Old Yi, what are you saying? We're all old brothers in the compound, not some Section Chief Wang. Are you insulting me?!"
"No, no, Brother Wang... Da Bao, don't think that way. I just blurted it out. I'll never say that again in the yard."
Yi Zhonghai smiled genuinely. "This time, I've decided to unleash my most secret skills and give everyone a proper lesson."
Wang Dabao chuckled and said, "That's right, Lao Yi. Only when others learn valuable knowledge from you can you be considered a successor."
"When they use these things in the future, they will think of you. When they pass on this knowledge to their disciples, they might say, 'You taught them all, Lao Yi.' By then, you'll have a whole bunch of disciples and grand-disciples!"
Upon hearing Wang Dabao's words, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up, especially the last part about having a large number of disciples and followers.
If Yi Zhonghai has a large number of disciples and followers, then who would dare to underestimate him? Who would dare!
Wouldn't that be the time for Yi Zhonghai to reign supreme in the steel rolling mill?
"Brother Da Bao's words have truly awakened me from my dream!"
Yi Zhonghai felt as if tears were streaming down his face. "I won't waste any more time. I'll go home now to get paper and pen and get ready. Thanks, Brother Da Bao."
After saying this, Yi Zhonghai nodded emphatically to Wang Dabao, greeted Liu Haizhong and the others, and then turned and went home.
Watching Yi Zhonghai's departing figure, Wang Dabao seemed to be deep in thought. This old guy was no simple character. He could come up with so much just from a little prompting. Who knows how he was planning to make a comeback?
But it doesn't matter. Even if Yi Zhonghai climbs back to the position of an old man, Wang Dabao has a way to bring him down.
"Da Bao, what were you guys talking about just now? Old Yi seemed pretty excited!"
Yan Bugui leaned closer and asked, "Is Old Yi going to teach again?"
Xu Damao grunted and walked over as well.
"I was too lazy to bother with Yi Zhonghai at Dabao's place. What's wrong? Is this old guy going to give a lecture at the factory again? Heh, what kind of rubbish can he possibly teach? He's been teaching Jia Dongxu for ten years and he's still acting like a good-for-nothing. He should just put all his skills in his coffin."
“I don’t object to what Da Mao said.”
With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Liu Haizhong spoke of taking on apprentices, claiming he was a million times better than Yi Zhonghai. "Old Yi really did something wrong in this respect. All my apprentices bring gifts to visit me during holidays. But look at Old Yi. Every holiday, this apprentice has this or that, all sorts of excuses. He doesn't even bring anything, let alone anything."
Liu Guangtian leaned lazily against the windowsill of Yan Bugui's house: "He taught Jia Dongxu for ten years, but he turned out to be nothing. Is this what the factory meant by treating Jia Dongxu like half a son? As soon as Jia Dongxu died, he wanted to take over and drag his apprentice's wife into his own bed. What kind of person is he?"
Upon hearing Liu Guangtian's words, Xu Damao gave him an approving look; he found Liu's words quite agreeable.
"Stop talking nonsense, or I'll beat you to death tonight."
Liu Haizhong's face was trembling with anger. The matter had just been calmed down, but his son brought it up again.
It's fine to talk about it in the courtyard; everyone has a general idea.
But if they went outside and someone with ulterior motives overheard them and spread the word, what would that be like? If even an old man's son was saying such things, wouldn't that make the entire Hongxing Courtyard a lie?
After being reprimanded by Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangtian grumbled and fell silent.
Afterwards, the group chatted casually while basking in the sun. The sun was neither too hot nor too cold, and it felt warm and comfortable on their skin.
