It's just that it's easy to change rivers and mountains, but difficult to change one's nature. Liu Haizhong never gave up his ambition to be an official.
Not long after starting work that day, a deputy director from the workshop was taken away.
After they left, the workers started discussing, and Liu Haizhong watched this scene, his restless heart stirred once again.
Liu Haizhong put down his tools and walked towards Li Huaide's office.
After Liu Haizhong arrived at the entrance of Li Huaide's office, he started to feel timid again.
Having lived most of his life, he rarely dealt with factory leaders.
At the office door, Liu Haizhong paced for several minutes, still not daring to knock on the door.
In the end, it was Li Huaide who came out and happened to run into him.
This startled Li Huaide, "Oh, Master Liu, what are you doing standing here?" Li Huaide asked.
"Factory Director Li, I… I have something to talk to you about!!!" Liu Haizhong stammered.
"If you have something, just come in directly. This isn't some dragon's den or tiger's lair!" Li Huaide quickly calmed down, saying jokingly as he welcomed Liu Haizhong into the office.
"Sit down, Master Liu, what can I do for you?"
"Factory Director Li, I… I came to see you today because I want to…"
Liu Haizhong, wanting to be as impressive as those people before him, still mustered up the courage to speak.
"Master Liu, aren't you doing well in the workshop? Why would you think of…" Li Huaide, knowing Liu Haizhong's intention, was also very interested in Liu Haizhong; he could never have too many white gloves.
"Don't worry, I… I will definitely follow your instructions. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west.
I used to be the steward of the Courtyard, and people like He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were all under my management.
I just want to get a job here with you and contribute to our factory!" Liu Haizhong became more and more excited as he spoke, finally standing up to guarantee.
"Sit down first. I know what you want to say. The factory office now needs good comrades like you with such awareness.
How about this, the factory just happens to be short of a captain, so you can go there first.
If you perform well in the future, I will entrust you with important tasks again, Captain Liu, you must not disappoint my expectations!" Li Huaide patted Liu Haizhong's shoulder and said earnestly.
"Factory Director Li, please rest assured, just watch my performance from now on!" Liu Haizhong said excitedly.
"Good, good, good, just for your spirit, I believe in you!" Li Huaide laughed heartily.
"Alright then, Factory Director Li, you go ahead and be busy, I'll go do my work first?"
"Go!" Li Huaide waved his hand.
And so, Liu Haizhong became a captain through self-recommendation.
Returning home that evening, Liu Haizhong specifically asked his wife to buy some cooked food and two bottles of good wine to celebrate.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two brothers, naturally also benefited.
During the meal, the three members of the Liu Family, father and sons, began to talk about the future, and it was the first time such a harmonious scene appeared in the Liu Family.
Compared to Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui's life was difficult; he was on edge all day long!
None of the Yan Family's children were peaceful either; Yan Jiefang was so ruthless that he first dealt with his own father, Yan Bugui.
But no matter how much they caused trouble, it never implicated Xu Damao and He Yushui.
The scene of the Deaf Old Lady being shot was vivid in their minds.
Xu Damao and He Yushui were both workers, and apart from their larger houses, they had almost no flaws.
There might still be objections about Xu Damao's house, but He Yushui's house was awarded to her by the judge.
So, even if they had the guts, they wouldn't dare to come looking for trouble; at most, they were just envious.
Of course, the best method was to rent out the extra houses, but after the previous incidents, the leaders also turned a blind eye, and no one wanted to offend He Yushui!
Ever since the Nanny Group (Retirement Group) had an incident, the people in the Courtyard also dared not provoke He Yushui.
They later learned about He Yushui's actions, and they were afraid that if they angered He Yushui, they might accidentally be reported.
What He Yushui did before was a bit extreme, but overall, the benefits of her extremism outweighed the drawbacks!
Thus, He Yushui and Xu Damao instead became presences that no one in the Courtyard dared to provoke.
One ran off with a rich woman, having nothing to lose, while the other would hold up signs, call reporters, and could easily get you shot.
Whoever provoked them would suffer!
Xu Damao and He Yushui were also happy with this; no matter how strong the wind outside, it wouldn't blow their way, as long as they lived their own Little Japan.
At the Steel Rolling Plant, because Liu Haizhong was personally appointed by Li Huaide, coupled with his status as a seventh-level blacksmith, he quickly established himself in the factory.
Afterward, according to Li Huaide's instructions, he brought a lot of benefits to Li Huaide.
The effect was also very significant; in just over half a month, he became famous in the Steel Rolling Plant.
Many people didn't like him, but Li Huaide was very satisfied.
In Li Huaide's view, Liu Haizhong was born to be a white glove.
"Captain Liu, well done.
I have already reported your merits to the higher-ups.
Here's a radio ticket; take it, it's my personal reward to you!" Li Huaide called Liu Haizhong over and praised him profusely.
"Thank you, Factory Director Li, I will work even harder…" Liu Haizhong left Li Huaide's office only after continuously expressing his loyalty!
It must be said that Liu Haizhong was truly a talent for being a white glove.
Fortunately, Liu Haizhong, who was praised with kind words, was still very easy to talk to and would not actively seek trouble with the people in the Courtyard, at most just putting on airs.
As the saying goes, when one is well-fed and warm, lust arises.
Liu Haizhong's eldest son, Liu Guangqi, had already run away, and Liu Guangtian had also grown up, so Liu Haizhong naturally had to plan for his future retirement.
With money in hand, he also started to be better to his son.
Liu Guangtian was already of marriageable age, and Liu Haizhong set his sights on Yu Haitang, a factory flower.
Due to Yang Factory Director's issue, Yu Haitang had long since drawn a clear line with his nephew, Yang Weimin.
The proud Yu Haitang could be said to be unable to settle for less or reach for more.
The current Liu Haizhong was no longer what he used to be; with power in his hands, Liu Haizhong also arranged for Liu Guangtian to work at the Steel Rolling Plant.
Coupled with Liu Guangtian's decent appearance, Yu Haitang agreed to this marriage without much thought.
The trajectory of this plane had already changed; Xu Damao could not possibly pursue a troublesome woman like Yu Haitang.
Yu Haitang naturally married into the Old Liu Family.
