Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

"Section Chief Li, you're really good at joking. You've blown this greenhorn who just joined the factory into the clouds! If you ask me, what kind of bullshit assessment is this? It's just a fig leaf for you guys to cover up your backdoor deals!"

Zhang Feng's words became increasingly outrageous, and his emotions grew more and more agitated, but Li Xiangdong and Yu Bin, standing to the side, remained remarkably calm.

"Whether Yu Bin got in through connections or not, just look at the things he produced."

Li Xiangdong smiled and nodded at Yu Bin.

"Great! I've been waiting for this part!"

"Let me make this clear from the start: if Yu Bin fails to complete these ten parts to the required standard, he can't deny it. He'll have to pack his bags and get out of the factory!"

Zhang Feng, who had been so anxious just moments before, finally faced the parts inspection he had been eagerly anticipating.

In his view, no one could accurately produce ten parts according to Li Xiangdong's blueprints in a single day. This way, he could not only drive away Yu Bin, but also gain the upper hand over Li Xiangdong.

"No problem, I hope you won't deny it either."

Yu Bin smiled and said.

Zhang Feng saw Yu Bin's unusual calmness as nothing more than a charade. He put his hands on his hips, his eyes wide, determined to make Yu Bin leave the factory.

"Part number one is accurate... Part number two is accurate... Part number three is accurate..."

Li Xiangdong held a measuring instrument in one hand and a part made by Yu Bin in the other, checking it against the drawings on the table.

Zhang Feng, who had initially thought Yu Bin wouldn't be able to make a single part, was now clearly panicked. Large beads of sweat poured from his forehead as he swallowed hard.

"Yu Bin is really something. If I had them, I couldn't have made even one!"

"You can argue with that! They're already halfway there!"

The surrounding workers also gathered around, all staring in disbelief.

"Part number eight is accurate... Part number nine is accurate... Part number ten..."

At this moment, almost everyone in the workshop held their breath, waiting for Li Xiangdong to make his final judgment.

“Exactly!”

As soon as Li Xiangdong finished speaking, the workshop erupted in excitement.

"Impossible...this is impossible...you...you must have tampered with it!"

·· ·····Requesting flowers·· ·

"I understand! You test your own brother-in-law, and even if he fails all the tests, you'll still say he's absolutely right!"

Zhang Feng panicked. He didn't believe Li Xiangdong and Yu Bin, and he was even more unwilling to accept the fact that he might be fired from the steel rolling mill.

"Then I'll do it!"

Li Huaide's voice suddenly came from behind the group of workers. It turned out that he had also been silently watching the farce caused by Zhang Feng.

"What? You don't even believe me?"

"I...I believe..."

..... ... .......

Zhang Feng nodded nervously, and Li Huaide took the tools and parts from Li Xiangdong and began to measure them one by one.

"These ten parts... Yu Bin did indeed complete them all according to the blueprints, without any errors."

After repeatedly checking for more than ten minutes, Li Huaide was also very excited.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Feng's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

"Section Chief Li... I... my wife just gave birth, and our family of several people depends on my meager salary to support us. If I lose my job... my whole family will just have to wait to die..."

He crawled forward a few steps, grabbed Li Xiangdong's legs, and pleaded.

"Everyone has their difficulties, so why make things difficult for others when you yourself are in trouble?"

"As far as I know, you were late, left early, fought, and committed all sorts of serious offenses while working at the factory. According to the factory's rules, you should have left long ago. I don't know why you've survived until now."

"Director Li, you can handle Zhang Feng's layoff paperwork. Yu Bin and I will take a good look at the other parts."

Hearing Li Xiangdong's words, Zhang Feng lay on the ground, tears streaming down his face, silent. At this moment, he was probably filled with deep regret.

Chapter 231 The Plan Begins to be Implemented

"As expected of you, Section Chief Li, you have a really good eye for people."

Li Huaide whispered something in Li Xiangdong's ear, then called the security guards to take Zhang Feng, who was lying on the ground and refusing to leave, away.

"Everyone, please don't leave yet, I have something important to tell you all."

Seeing the workers scatter and prepare to work, Li Xiangdong hurriedly called out.

"As you can all see, thanks to Yu Bin's hard work all day, the basic component samples for our new equipment have been completed."

"Next, I plan to divide everyone into two groups, with Yu Bin and I each leading a team, and we will process all the parts in a week."

"I know this workload is indeed greater than '537', but it is also a great learning opportunity for everyone. Improving your professional skills at work is much better than just wasting your days in the factory."

"If everyone agrees with my plan, then we will begin implementing it today. This is the group list I have prepared. Everyone, please return to your respective groups."

Li Xiangdong had already studied the work abilities of everyone in the workshop. He assigned those with slightly stronger abilities to Yu Bin's group, while those with weaker abilities or a more lazy work attitude were placed in his team.

"Senior brother, why aren't you working in the workshop at this hour? You're so dirty, are you injured on your face?"

He Yuzhu, who was busy sweeping the yard, looked up and saw Zhang Feng, who had just been fired from the factory, and asked him a question. Normally, the down-on-his-luck He Yuzhu would have avoided acquaintances, but since they bumped into each other, he could only bite the bullet and have an awkward conversation.

"Zhu Zi...I...I've been fired from the factory..."

Zhang Feng shook his head and said in a tearful voice.

"Expelled?"

"Yeah...it's all because of that guy Li Xiangdong who's been going against me. How am I going to explain this to my wife when I get back..."

"Li Xiangdong has gone too far. First, he put an old man in jail, then he made me clean toilets, and now he's fired you!"

He Yuzhu threw down the broom and said angrily.

"Sigh, the three of us, master and disciples, have really been messed up by this Li Xiangdong... By the way, Zhuzi, have you gone to see Master? How is he doing lately?"

"I have not......"

"What? You and your master live in the same courtyard and you haven't even visited him?"

"Um... ever since he was released, this old man hasn't liked seeing anyone, so I..."

“Zhu Zi, I’m not trying to be mean, but when we were supposed to pick up Master, you kept making excuses and didn’t want to go. Put your hand on your heart and ask yourself how Master treated you back then. Now that he’s in trouble, it’s okay for others to look down on him, but we brothers can’t do that!”

"I understand, senior brother. I'll go visit Uncle Yi's house tonight when I get back."

It must be said that although Zhang Feng's character was questionable, he still had a conscience. Hearing him say that, He Yuzhu immediately felt extremely ashamed.

After a busy morning, it was finally lunchtime.

Having lived in the factory dormitory for a few days, He Yushui was already familiar with the factory environment. In addition, the food that Yu Li had prepared for her had all been eaten, so she planned to have lunch in the canteen today.

"Hey, rain!"

The canteen and the production workshop were on the same line. He Yushui had just passed the workshop when a deep, magnetic voice called out to her. She turned around and saw that it was Yu Bin, whom she had met once before.

Working with those inexperienced workers that morning had been a real headache for Yu Bin, but the moment he saw He Yushui, his face lit up with a smile...

"Hello..."

For some reason, He Yushui's fair face suddenly flushed, and she greeted him shyly.

"My sister told me you live in our factory dormitory, but I've never seen you before."

"Sister Yu Li prepared a lot of food for me before, so I haven't eaten in the cafeteria. I don't usually go out unless I have something to do."

"My sister is really something! She finished her food and didn't even say anything to get me more. I'm going to tell her on her when I get home tonight!"

"Oh, no need, no need. Sister Yu Li and Brother Dong have already taken good care of me. It's very convenient for me to come down to the cafeteria to eat every day."

"That's true... The factory dorms are nice, but they're not very spacious. It's not good to be cooped up inside all the time. If you get bored by yourself, I can eat with you sometime. I'm alone anyway."

Yu Bin scratched his head. Of course, he hoped that He Yushui could eat in the cafeteria every day, so that they would naturally have more opportunities to interact.

Having had little contact with women other than his mother and sister since childhood, Yu Bin developed a strong liking for He Yushui, a gentle and quiet girl.

"Ah...you're all wearing work clothes, and I'm the only one standing out. It does look a bit strange..."

The two smiled at each other and walked together toward the cafeteria.

"Rain! What are you doing hanging out with this kid?"

Just then, Yu Bin and He Yushui suddenly felt a foul stench approaching them, and heard their brother He Yuzhu's familiar voice behind them.

He Yushui, who had just been all smiles, stopped in her tracks, her face darkening.

Chapter 232 Yu Bin and He Yushui Meet Again

"Who are you?"

He Yushui turned around and asked impatiently.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you silly girl? I am your own brother He Yuzhu, and you are my own sister He Yushui. Have you forgotten that?"

"I know this kid. This is Yu Bin, Li Xiangdong's brother-in-law, right? Why are you with him?"
