Li Qin had no other thoughts about the behavior of the three stewards except to complain.
To put it bluntly, the old man in charge said it didn't really mean anything.
But in their courtyard house, they put on airs every day, acting like some kind of high-ranking leader.
Li Qin is only tolerating their behavior because he sees it as a show; otherwise, he would have already taken action.
Just as Li Qin was lost in thought, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui finally made their appearance.
The three walked straight to their "throne".
As the three stewards appeared, the people who were chatting subconsciously lowered their voices.
Upon seeing this, a look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of Yi Zhonghai and the other two.
As the three sat down, Liu Haizhong was the first to speak;
"Alright, everyone quiet down. Now that almost everyone's here, let's begin the meeting."
As he spoke, Liu Haizhong's gaze swept over everyone present.
As soon as he finished speaking, those who had been whispering all fell silent and stared quietly at the three people above.
Upon seeing this, Liu Haizhong spoke again:
"Next, it's time for the old man to speak!"
After saying this, Liu Haizhong turned his gaze to Yi Zhonghai.
Regardless of what others were thinking, Li Qin was almost laughing to death at Liu Haizhong's actions. It was clear that Liu Haizhong loved to show off.
Moreover, within the courtyard, Liu Haizhong always resented that Yi Zhonghai was the eldest uncle, while he was only the second eldest.
He even kept planning how to change this situation.
But every time there was a meeting, Liu Haizhong acted like Yi Zhonghai's scout general.
Without anyone saying a word, he would proactively hand over the initiative of the entire college meeting to Yi Zhonghai.
Li Qin knew at this moment that while Liu Haizhong wasn't exactly brainless, he certainly wasn't lacking in intelligence either.
Especially their emotional intelligence, which is practically negative.
"No wonder that in the storyline, Liu Haizhong never truly defeated Yi Zhonghai in his entire life."
Li Qin couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. If Liu Haizhong really had a brain, how could he treat his two younger sons that way?
While Li Qin was deep in thought, Yi Zhonghai first scanned everyone present with his eyes.
Then he suddenly stood up;
"I know everyone works very hard, and we should all be able to rest properly during the holidays, but instead we are wasting everyone's time on meetings."
I want to apologize to everyone in advance.
After saying this, Yi Zhonghai bowed to everyone.
Actually, not everyone was willing to attend this plenary meeting, just as Yi Zhonghai himself said.
Most of the people working there are engaged in heavy physical labor.
Everyone is exhausted after get off work, and if possible, they just want to rest at home.
Or spend time with your family.
Being called to this meeting now, I'm bound to feel some dissatisfaction.
Yi Zhonghai's move of retreating to advance has immediately dispelled the dissatisfaction in these people's hearts.
At this moment, everyone spoke up:
"An old man shines!"
"You're too kind, sir."
Moreover, Li Qin could tell that these people were not just saying it, but their eyes no longer showed any dissatisfaction.
Even the way they looked at Yi Zhonghai now held a hint of respect and approval.
A look of admiration flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He also began to admire Yi Zhonghai, this old silver coin.
The apology, delivered casually and with humility, easily dispelled the dissatisfaction of these people and even garnered some prestige.
If Yi Zhonghai comes here every now and then, it would be understandable if he could practically rule the entire courtyard house when the story begins.
Of course, there were also people who understood the situation within the courtyard house.
At least Li Qin noticed that although several people were praising Yi Zhonghai, their eyes were filled with a clear-headed expression.
Among them were Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui; Tie Niu's grandmother, Granny Wang; and Miao Miao's mother, Widow Ruan...
Of course, Xu Damao was not fooled by Yi Zhonghai either.
Xu Damao was able to do this entirely because he harbored resentment towards Yi Zhonghai, so he didn't care what Yi Zhonghai was saying at all.
The main point is that you can't believe anything the enemy says.
What Li Qin found most amusing was Liu Haizhong's reaction.
Seeing everyone respond and support Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong's face turned ashen.
Their gazes toward Yi Zhonghai were filled with jealousy and envy, as if they wished they could take his place.
When Liu Haizhong looked at the people around him again, his eyes were filled with anger once more.
It's like the anger of the crowd responding to Yi Zhonghai, and wondering why they don't support him in the same way.
Seeing the residents' reactions, a smug look flashed in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, and then he pretended to wipe the corner of his eye.
Then he addressed the crowd again:
"Thank you all for your understanding, thank you everyone."
After speaking, Yi Zhonghai bowed to everyone again.
The people around him once again expressed their support for the elderly man, Yi Zhonghai.
After the crowd quieted down a bit, Yi Zhonghai began to get down to business:
"Actually, there are a few things to discuss at this hospital-wide meeting. One of them is that the three of us in charge received a notice from the neighborhood committee that tomorrow is National Day."
Although we are all genuinely happy for our country, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be some people with ulterior motives who will take advantage of the National Day holiday to do something.
Therefore, the neighborhood committee asked us to inform everyone that if you go out tomorrow, you must be prepared to protect yourself from petty theft.
Especially if you're out with children, be very careful of those who take photos of children for money.
The crowd, who hadn't reacted much before, subconsciously frowned when they heard about petty theft.
When everyone heard about the "flower girl" incident, even Li Qin, who had been watching with a detached, spectator's mindset, couldn't help but reveal disgust and even a chilling murderous intent in his eyes.
To be honest, even with the prohibitions on prostitution, gambling, and drugs, Li Qin didn't have much of a reaction.
These three prohibitions are extremely harmful, especially since drugs and tea poison people's bodies and minds.
However, in Li Qin's view, this is more of a personal choice.
Therefore, once involved, there is no way to escape, and it can even lead to the destruction of one's family. Li Qin felt that he had only himself to blame.
But for someone like the Flower Patcher, if Li Qin were to encounter one, he would absolutely make the other person wish they were dead, and the rest of their life would be spent in true hell.
Because the target audience for the "flower shoot" is not adults, but children.
They will use various methods to steal or abduct children...
If they're lucky, the child will be sold as a commodity to other places, to people who want children but don't have any.
Those who are unlucky may be deliberately made to be disabled at level three or five, and then driven to the streets to beg for money by taking advantage of people's sympathy.
