Chapter 842 Yi Zhonghai suspected that Gu Nan was behind this
Deputy Director Li felt a little strange after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. He felt that what Yi Zhonghai said seemed to make some sense. He frowned, thought for a moment, looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "What are you talking about? Don't you have any idea?"
Although Yi Zhonghai was also confused and didn't know what went wrong, he couldn't say he didn't know at this moment. His eyes rolled, his mind working rapidly. He looked at Deputy Director Li and said through gritted teeth, "Deputy Director Li, there's no need to think about this matter. It must be Gu Nan's doing. He must have deliberately targeted me to give me such a low grade." Yi Zhonghai tried to shift the blame to Gu Nan, hoping to divert Deputy Director Li's anger.
When Deputy Director Li first heard what Yi Zhonghai said, he did believe it a little. After all, there was already a conflict between him and Gu Nan, so it was not impossible for Gu Nan to do such a thing. But he was not a fool. After calming down and thinking about it, he felt that things were not that simple. He looked at Yi Zhonghai, sneered, and said, "Do you think I am a fool? I heard that all the workshop directors were watching you on the spot for the evaluation. You said it was Gu Nan's doing, so tell me, how could Gu Nan do such a thing in public?"
Yi Zhonghai was speechless after being confronted by Deputy Director Li, his face flushing red and white. He knew in his heart that what Deputy Director Li said was indeed correct. In fact, he also vaguely felt that it might be because of his age and recent distractions that many of his skills had become rusty. When he stepped on the stage, he was so nervous that his mind went blank and he couldn't think of anything. That's why he only passed the test as a third-level fitter. But he really couldn't say it out loud. He could only stand there, head down, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Yi Zhonghai knew full well that he couldn't confess to Deputy Director Li that his age and declining health and energy were the reasons for his poor performance in the competition and his current situation. If Deputy Director Li knew that this was the reason he was only a third-level fitter, he would definitely feel useless and would never be able to ask Deputy Director Li for help in the future.
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly and said to Deputy Director Li with an indignant look on his face: "Deputy Director Li, you don't know how ruthless Gu Nan's methods are! Although I still can't figure out how he did it, I am sure that the abnormal results of this competition are definitely related to Gu Nan!"
Deputy Director Li was speechless for a moment after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. He was actually a little afraid of Gu Nan, but he was not completely sure that what Yi Zhonghai said was the truth. After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Yi Zhonghai and said coldly: "Master Yi, you can handle this matter yourself. I'm telling you this, if you still only qualify as a third-level fitter in the next competition, then you will be of no use to me. Do you understand me?"
Yi Zhonghai certainly understood the deeper meaning of Deputy Director Li's words. This was a warning to him that if he couldn't prove his strength, he wouldn't be able to count on his support. Yi Zhonghai hurriedly nodded and said, "Deputy Director Li, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't let you down!" After that, he left Deputy Director Li's office in disgrace.
Not long after Yi Zhonghai walked out of the office, Qin Huairu happened to walk towards him. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai looked a little off, she hurried forward and asked with concern, "Uncle Yi, what's going on? You don't look well."
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He looked at Qin Huairu unhappily and said, "I'm also so angry now. How can I know what's going on? Anyway, I'm sure that this must be Gu Nan's trick behind the scenes!"
Qin Huairu frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled. She looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Uncle Yi, you said that this was Gu Nan's doing, but we were all there watching. How could he have done anything?"
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his head was buzzing. How could he think calmly? He said impatiently: "How should I know! Okay, okay, let's go back to the courtyard first and don't embarrass ourselves here!" After that, he turned around and left angrily.
Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai's back, feeling annoyed. She had been hoping that if Yi Zhonghai could become an eighth-level fitter, then with his relationship with Deputy Director Li, she could use this opportunity to talk to him and ask him to arrange a job for Banggeng at the steel mill.
But who could have imagined that Yi Zhonghai was so useless, and now he was only rated as a third-level fitter. Qin Huairu became more and more angry. If it weren't for the fact that Yi Zhonghai usually had some savings and might be able to help her family in the future, she would have ignored Yi Zhonghai a long time ago. She cursed Yi Zhonghai in her heart, and her pace unconsciously slowed down. She walked towards the courtyard with a heavy heart...
Yi Zhonghai dragged his heavy steps, feeling depressed, towards the courtyard. Just as he was about to reach the courtyard gate, he saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui standing there, talking and laughing. Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition came over him.
In reality, Liu Haizhong had long heard about Yi Zhonghai's demotion to a third-level fitter, and he had deliberately waited for him, ready to make fun of him. Yi Zhonghai had indeed become much more honest since being demoted from an eighth-level fitter to a fifth-level fitter, but Liu Haizhong had always been resentful of his previous arrogance. Now that Yi Zhonghai had been demoted to a third-level fitter, Liu Haizhong saw this as a golden opportunity; he would be truly remiss if he didn't take advantage of it.
Yi Zhonghai sensed Liu Haizhong's ill intentions from a distance and secretly groaned inwardly. He really didn't feel like dealing with Liu Haizhong, so he kept silent, lowered his head, and like a defeated rooster, he wanted to walk back to the yard dejectedly.
But how could Liu Haizhong let him go so easily? Seeing Yi Zhonghai about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward, blocked his way, and said with a fake smile: "Old Yi, why are you in such a hurry? What's the urgent matter that makes you rush like this?"
Yi Zhonghai was extremely annoyed, but Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were standing at the door, blocking the way so tightly that he couldn't get in. Helplessly, Yi Zhonghai could only suppress his anger, squeeze out a smile, look at Liu Haizhong and say, "Lao Liu, you are chatting with Lao Yan here, I have something here and I need to go in to deal with it in a hurry." Yi Zhonghai just wanted to get rid of this embarrassing situation as soon as possible and didn't want to tangle with Liu Haizhong anymore.
