Chapter 55 Yi Zhonghai Becomes the Number One Uncle
Xu Fugui voluntarily offered not to be the liaison officer, since he was about to leave and couldn't continue to manage the affairs of the courtyard house.
What was originally a normal thing becomes abnormal when something is added.
Yi Zhonghai has been actively involved in the project; he knows he wants a better retirement, and that requires transforming the courtyard house into the ideal space he envisions.
Xu Fugui voluntarily gave up his seat, and Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to let the deaf old lady go to the neighborhood office for some activities.
Director Wang knew about their affairs and naturally looked down on people like Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.
In an attempt to curry favor with the former deputy district head, a deputy director of the subdistrict office deliberately became very close to the deaf elderly woman.
The deputy director proposed that Yi Zhonghai become the new liaison officer for Courtyard No. 95.
Director Wang naturally wouldn't object to a temporary liaison officer, after all, he had to give face to the deputy director.
Even Director Wang didn't understand why Yi Zhonghai was so insistent on being a liaison officer. There was no official position, and he wouldn't receive a salary.
The birds in the courtyard didn't understand either, and instead thought that Yi Zhonghai had used his connections to get Xu Fugui's contact person.
Everyone thought Xu Fugui was a capable person, which is why he was able to become a liaison officer in the first place.
Lou Bancheng's power was quite formidable in the eyes of ordinary people, and Xu Fugui was working for Lou Bancheng.
If it weren't for the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Fugui would have been the most capable person in the courtyard.
Even Xu Fugui couldn't withstand Yi Zhonghai, so how could they dare to offend him?
Everyone knows that Yi Zhonghai is backed by the deaf old lady. Their combined influence is not simply one plus one equals two.
That's equivalent to three. Xu Damao originally planned to expose Yi Zhonghai, since his father had resigned as liaison officer to make room for him. But now, everywhere he goes, it's rumored that his father offended Yi Zhonghai, which is why he was removed from his position as liaison officer.
He Yuzhu stopped Xu Damao, but doing so would only offend Yi Zhonghai and wouldn't actually achieve much.
Since Xu Fugui is no longer the liaison, and Yi Zhonghai has become the liaison, the only options are to accept it or hide behind the scenes and look for an opportunity to kill the other party.
He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and Li Tieniu are now forced to form close ties. Everyone understands the principle of sticking together for warmth, and Xu Fugui's departure has brought this forward.
There was no other way, so Yi Zhonghai immediately used his connections to join forces with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, and began to emphasize the title of "the person in charge".
Liu Haizhong wasn't very bright, and Yi Zhonghai easily tricked him into cooperating.
Yan Bugui is a man who abandons principles for personal gain. Give him even the smallest benefit, and he will abandon all moral principles and side with Yi Zhonghai.
When they heard Yi Zhonghai talk about how powerful the manager was, Liu Haizhong, who was obsessed with officialdom, certainly wouldn't object.
Liu Haizhong was particularly keen to be the head steward, but he was fooled by Yi Zhonghai and ended up becoming the second-in-command.
Yan Bugui felt that the manager was more powerful than the liaison officer, and that it would be easier for him to manipulate others for personal gain.
With Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui not objecting, Yi Zhonghai's plan was successfully approved.
Then they started emphasizing in the courtyard that everyone should address the three of them as "the stewards."
Yi Zhonghai is the eldest uncle, Liu Haizhong is the second eldest uncle, and Yan Bugui is the third eldest uncle.
Liu Haizhong was tricked by Yi Zhonghai, who promised that everyone would take turns being a grandpa for a year.
Liu Haizhong didn't think much about it; he was only thinking about how awesome it would be to be the manager.
Yan Bugui understood what was going on, and as a result, Yi Zhonghai secretly slipped him 50,000 yuan, which Yan Bugui pretended not to hear and agreed to.
Yan Bugui never considered competing with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong for the title of "Grandpa". He was driven by self-interest, and as long as it didn't prevent him from profiting, he was fine with it.
In this way, the birds in the courtyard gradually got used to calling Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui "the steward master".
He Yuzhu definitely wouldn't. He would still address him as "Teacher Yan" and "Master Liu" as before, and as for Yi Zhonghai, he would simply pretend not to see him.
Liu Haizhong was still dissatisfied, feeling that He Yuzhu disrespected him. He Yuzhu then threatened to go to the neighborhood office to inquire whether there was such a person as the "in charge."
Liu Haizhong was so scared he wet himself. He knew that this so-called manager was just something the three of them had made up.
The neighborhood office never said that the liaison officer was some kind of big shot. If He Yuzhu really went to the neighborhood office to ask, all three of them would probably be punished.
Seeing that He Yuzhu was not someone to be trifled with, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to accept being addressed as Master Liu by the other party.
Yi Zhonghai was very angry, after all, this steward was related to his retirement, but he had no way to deal with He Yuzhu.
The other party was not afraid of the deaf old lady at all. Even though the other party threatened He Yuzhu with the former deputy district head twice, He Yuzhu still did what he wanted.
The deaf old lady didn't know how to deal with He Yuzhu. He was a cadre, so why wasn't he afraid of his superiors?
Those two old fogies are still using the past to judge current officials. He Yuzhu naturally knew that Deputy District Chief Zeng and the deaf old lady were no longer as close.
For such a long time, Deputy District Chief Zeng has never visited the courtyard house, which shows that he is also distancing himself from the deaf old lady.
Even if they had a good relationship, He Yuzhu wasn't afraid. Deputy District Chief Zeng wouldn't dare force He Yuzhu to take care of the deaf old lady; there was no reason for that anywhere.
The storyline of the courtyard house has been revised again, restoring it to its original state.
He Yuzhu even wondered if he might also be subject to correction, but at least he hasn't experienced that situation yet.
Although he is indeed taking care of Qin Huairu now, this kind of care is different from that of Sha Zhu.
At least he didn't give his all to Qin Huairu, and at the same time, he enjoyed a kind of happiness that Jia Dongxu could never experience.
If you really piss him off, he'll just kill someone without hesitation; he's no joke.
If it weren't for his relationship with Yi Zhonghai, the hatred between the deaf old lady would have been too obvious.
If something happens to the other party, he will become a suspect. He Yuzhu really wanted to try to eliminate Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady's body; how could the plot continue then?
The college meetings are held from time to time, and each time Liu Haizhong comes up and talks a lot of nonsense.
The other party often brings up trivial matters repeatedly at hospital-wide meetings.
Yi Zhonghai especially liked to meddle in other people's disputes, even when it was just a trivial matter of two families bickering.
The three gentlemen, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, should also be solemnly mentioned at the hospital-wide meeting.
This was also a benefit that Yi Zhonghai deliberately left for Liu Haizhong, so that he could put on airs at this time.
There was also some scheming involved. Liu Haizhong's speech lacked sophistication, which unconsciously made everyone look down on him and give Yi Zhonghai a higher regard.
However, Liu Haizhong couldn't see through this scheme. Even if Yan Bugui did see through it, he wouldn't warn the other party; he just wanted to follow along and reap the benefits.
Yan Bugui came up in the middle to offer some suggestions, and in the end, Yi Zhonghai stepped forward to take charge of resolving the conflict between the Zhang and Li families in the courtyard.
Every time Yi Zhonghai finished dealing with a matter, the Zhang and Li families seemed dissatisfied, and the enmity between them only intensified the next time.
He Yuzhu scoffed at Yi Zhonghai's petty tactics of trying to smooth things over, even deliberately so.
The birds in the courtyard were frightened by Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady.
Otherwise, if you think about it carefully, you will find that what was clearly not a major conflict has become a major issue for both parties after it was made public at the hospital meeting.
The main problem was that many people in this era were illiterate and ignorant of the law, plus Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were all eloquent.
With that old deaf woman threatening everyone, naturally no one dared to resist them.
He Yuzhu's attitude was that he wouldn't oppose them as long as it didn't affect him personally.
The main problem is that they are disgusting; they always hold meetings by reading out policies.
The result was that he read out an ordinary policy in five seconds, followed by an hour of self-indulgent ramblings.
Unfortunately, the policy announcement was placed last, leaving He Yuzhu with no excuse not to participate.
Recently, He Yuzhu spent 200,000 yuan to arrange for people to spread their message on the streets.
Three elderly men in courtyard No. 95, Nanluoguxiang, like to bully and oppress the people, and they often hold general meetings for everyone.
Every time a large meeting is held, personal agendas are smuggled in, and reactionary language is promoted.
The rumor spread quickly; two hundred thousand yuan was used to spread the word among a few gossipy women, and they naturally did a great job.
When the rumors reached the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui were nearly scared to death. Director Wang from the neighborhood committee personally led a group to the courtyard to criticize the three of them.
They should be told to hold fewer meetings unless absolutely necessary, and even if they are, they should only read out policies and not include their own agendas.
At the same time, the three elderly men were punished by having to clean the alley for a month.
Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui have become much more restrained after this incident. At least they know that someone is watching them, and more importantly, that they've struck at their weakest point.
Needless to say, they immediately turned their suspicious gazes toward He Yuzhu, Xu Damao, and Xu Fugui.
The problem is that despite their doubts, there's nothing they can do about it.
He Yuzhu is now the director of the guesthouse, so he's already part of the leadership. Don't be fooled by the three old men's arrogant demeanor in the courtyard.
Once they left the courtyard house, the three of them were just ordinary people. The director of the steel mill's guesthouse served the leaders, who were too busy protecting him to dare offend He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu's culinary skills have improved; you'll only understand once you've tasted his special cooking.
That day, Xu Fugui asked him if he was now at level two, but He Yuzhu did not answer.
He Yuzhu didn't know either, but after several years of continuous practice, coupled with his strong physical and mental strength, he could now say, to be a bit presumptuous, that his master Wang Defa's cooking might not be as good as his.
He Yuzhu is now working towards becoming a master chef. Knife skills, heat control, and secret recipes are the three key elements for a chef to make good dishes; of course, proper ingredient preparation is also essential.
Needless to say, He Yuzhu's knife skills are superb; he can now slice soft tofu onto a piece of paper and make Wensi Tofu without tearing the paper.
This is an extraordinary ability in itself, not to mention the skill level.
He Yuzhu's powerful mental strength allowed him to control the spatula with exquisite precision.
Finally, there's the secret recipe; every top chef relies on their own unique recipe.
Having a secret recipe is what gives you a unique competitive edge.
