Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Chapter 122: Silly Zhu Breaks Head Liu Haizhong

Sha Zhu looked at the expressions of these people, some were happy, some were regretful, and some were indifferent, and he knew how he felt in the factory leaders' minds. He slowly stood up, looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Second Uncle, Liu Haizhong, Master Liu, you said that we live in the same courtyard, and although we had some conflicts in the past, you shouldn't be so dishonest. We agreed not to tell anyone about this, and you agreed, but today you went back on your word, which is really unkind."

"Shazhu, I am pointing out your mistakes and helping you. This is not going back on my word." Liu Haizhong insisted on his own justice.

"Liu Haizhong, remember I said at the time that I didn't want to prepare a wedding banquet for your family? I said you would report me after I prepared a banquet for you. I refused you, and you even asked the hospital's manager to be your guarantor before I agreed to prepare a banquet for you."

Seeing that every leader looked at him with contempt, Liu Haizhong refused to give in and said, "Shazhu, no matter what, you took my money to prepare the wedding banquet for my family. This is an indisputable fact and you can't deny it."

"Yes, I took your money."

"Haha, Shazhu, you finally admitted it, it's good that you admitted it." Not only Liu Haizhong was happy, but Deputy Director Wang was also proud. "It's okay, if you admit your mistakes and then seriously correct them, you can still be recognized by everyone."

"Liu Haizhong, you are too happy too early." Sha Zhu sneered and said, "I took your money, but I didn't keep it for myself."

Liu Haizhong interrupted and asked, "You didn't keep it, so you handed it in? Who would believe it? Where's the proof?"

Sha Zhu took out a receipt from his pocket. It said that he received 15 yuan for He Yuzhu's labor fee. The date was October 10, which was today. The red official seal of the Finance Department proved that it was not forged. Sha Zhu handed the receipt to Secretary Chen next to him. Secretary Chen took the receipt and walked quickly to Secretary Zhang. He took a look at it and confirmed that it was authentic. He nodded slightly when he handed it to the secretary. Seeing this scene, Liu Haizhong slumped in his chair like a deflated ball.

The receipt passed from Secretary Zhang's hand to the leaders, and then returned to Secretary Zhang. At this time, Secretary Zhang was looking at Sha Zhu with admiration. No matter why he collected the money or why he paid the money, he did a good job. He didn't fall into the abyss because of 15 yuan, which embarrassed him and himself. He couldn't be stingy with the performance that should be given to Sha Zhu. "Comrade He Yuzhu, everyone misunderstood you just now. You can use your rest time to generate income for the factory, which is very worthy of praise."

Sha Zhu bowed to Secretary Zhang and said, "Thank you for the affirmation, Secretary and the leaders. Although I have generated income for the factory, I also took money from Master Liu Haizhong and did not serve the people well."

"No, Comrade He Yuzhu, you did a great job. Liu Haizhong is just a member of the masses, he cannot represent the masses. If you don't take his money, then you are not serving the people well." Deputy Director Wang immediately changed his tune and explained for Sha Zhu: "You used your rest time to prepare a banquet for his family. I know that preparing a banquet is very tiring and wastes a lot of energy. Now that his personal affairs have delayed your rest, what if you are overworked and fail to do your job well, that is, the meals in the cafeteria are not well prepared, and the employees are not satisfied, then you are not serving the people well. . Besides, he should pay you wages for working for him during your rest time. If he doesn't pay you, then he is just a landlord and rich man. Just like he works overtime, the factory should pay him overtime pay, which is very reasonable. "Deputy Director Wang turned to Secretary Zhang and said, "Secretary Zhang, Comrade He Yuzhu handed in all the money he received, but he worked on the weekend after all, which is equivalent to overtime. We should allocate some of this money to Comrade He Yuzhu as overtime pay. We can't let our comrades work for nothing. We are not capitalists. What do you think?"

"Comrade He Yuzhu, what do you think?" Secretary Zhang left this question to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu said firmly: "No, I can't accept this money. Many of our comrades do not ask for overtime pay for overtime work, it is all voluntary labor. Also, haven't we always been advocating learning from Comrade Lei Feng? What I am doing now is not enough, I am far behind Comrade Lei Feng." Sha Zhu thought to himself: I have paid the 15 yuan, and I still owe less than 1 yuan in overtime pay. I can earn it back by going out to any store.

Liu Haizhong, who was sitting slumped, suddenly shouted, "Shazhu often goes out to cook for others at night, and even prepares banquets for others on Sundays."

Everyone laughed when they heard Liu Haizhong's words. They thought to themselves, "You have personally proved something that was overturned. How can you sue someone without any evidence?" Director Yang slammed the table and said, "Liu Haizhong, are you done yet? You should provide evidence when you speak. We will deal with you for making false accusations."

"I'm not making false accusations. His family eats meat and chicken every day. If he didn't cook for others, how would he have so many good things?"

Sha Zhu looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Master Liu, my wife and I can find out what our salaries and benefits are. Why can't we buy it ourselves?"

"Where can you get so many meat tickets?"

"We saved it before. My wife is breastfeeding her baby and she needs nutrition right now, so my father-in-law gave us his meat coupons. I also asked the factory's purchasing department to help buy some meat without coupons. The receipts can be checked in the Finance and Purchasing departments, so they can't be faked." Sha Zhu had known that his family had been eating too well recently, which would attract the attention of some jealous people, so he made preparations early on, and asked Xing Guangchen from the Purchasing Department to help buy a pound or two of meat from time to time. Anyway, once it's in my mouth, you can still find out how much meat I eat every day.

After listening to Sha Zhu's explanation, Director Yang said, "Liu Haizhong, you guys just can't stand seeing others live well. Do you think you can spend 3 or 4 yuan on a table at your wedding banquet, but others can't eat meat on a regular basis? Can you tell me where you got the meat tickets for more than ten kilograms of meat?" Liu Haizhong was about to explain, but Director Yang said directly, "Okay, you don't have to explain, and we don't need you to explain either. Everyone has their own way, and we won't be so picky. But you still have to be punished for this false accusation."

Director Yang approached Secretary Zhang and they discussed the matter. Secretary Zhang said, "Everyone knows what happened today. Let me first talk about the punishment for Comrade Liu Haizhong. In view of the principle of curing illness and saving lives, we should not punish him too severely, but we still need to use small punishments to serve as a warning. I propose that Comrade Liu Haizhong be demoted one level as a punishment and he shall not be promoted within two years. What do you think?" After Secretary Zhang finished speaking, he looked at everyone.

All the leaders nodded in agreement.

Secretary Zhang continued, "Since everyone agrees, Xiao Chen, please take note and notify the public through the radio station later so that the employees can learn from this and not believe in rumors or spread them and slander others. The next step is to deal with He Yuzhu."
