Chapter 501 A loving father and a filial son
Li Qin knew best why Yi Zhonghai was unhappy.
It's understandable, considering that if Li Qin hadn't intervened, Yi Zhonghai would have had a chance to pass the Level 7 assessment in one go.
Although both Level 7 and Level 6 are senior workers, there is a huge difference in their salary, status, and other aspects.
For Yi Zhonghai in particular, winning the seventh level would greatly benefit many of his plans.
Now all of it is gone.
It would be a miracle if Yi Zhonghai were happy.
Especially on his way home from get off work, Liu Haizhong's smug expression made Yi Zhonghai even more unhappy.
The more unhappy and displeased Yi Zhonghai became, the happier Li Qin became.
He walked towards the backyard with a smile on his face.
Upon arriving in the backyard, Li Qin subconsciously looked towards Liu Haizhong's house.
The next second his expression underwent a strange change.
Because he witnessed a very strange scene.
Liu Haizhong's attitude towards his three sons is completely different.
She loved her eldest son, Liu Guangqi, dearly, but treated her two younger sons like stepmothers, or as if they were picked up from a garbage dump.
In daily life, Liu Haizhong would beat and scold his two youngest sons whenever he was even slightly unhappy.
Moreover, they used extremely heavy force.
It can be said that they showed absolutely no mercy.
But today, Li Qin saw Liu Haizhong with a hearty smile on his face when he was talking to the two kids.
This is completely inconsistent with Liu Haizhong's public persona.
Li Qin even suspected that Liu Haizhong might have been traumatized or that someone had transported him to another time.
After all, based on Li Qin's understanding of Liu Haizhong, although this guy passed the Level 6 assessment today, he didn't perform very well in the Level 7 assessment.
Even if he hadn't been violent towards his two younger sons after returning, things wouldn't be like this now.
Li Qin suspected there was definitely something wrong here.
In fact, Li Qin's guess was correct.
Liu Haizhong was indeed very unhappy when he failed the Level 7 assessment.
Even though he himself knew that his level was still some distance away from level seven.
But Liu Haizhong has never been a reasonable person.
Especially when it comes to her two younger sons.
Originally, Liu Haizhong did intend to go back and give his two younger sons a beating to vent his anger.
However, thinking that Yi Zhonghai also failed the Level 7 assessment, Liu Haizhong's mood immediately improved.
Especially today, his two younger sons said something that seemed like a stroke of genius: "The old man in the Intermediate Court only got a Level 6 certificate, which means that our dad is no worse than that old man. And when Dad passes the Level 7 exam next time, everyone will know that Dad is better than that old man."
Liu Haizhong had always been secretly competing with Yi Zhonghai, and upon hearing this, he was immediately "overjoyed," and suddenly felt that his two unfilial sons were not so annoying after all.
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu thus escaped a calamity.
Although the situation of the Liu family was somewhat unexpected by Li Qin, he did not investigate it further.
He glanced deeply in the direction of the Liu family's house, then pushed his bicycle home.
It was already dinnertime, and he needed to get ready.
Li Qin had promised Li Huaide that he would accompany him for drinks again tonight, so he needed to have a full meal at home beforehand.
Otherwise, we'll just have to go hungry.
After parking his bicycle, Li Qin carried the groceries he had bought from the market into the kitchen.
Soon, a series of loud banging sounds came from the kitchen.
You can tell from the sound that they're cooking.
Because it was just a simple meal, Li Qin came out of the kitchen quickly.
Carrying a plate of stir-fried greens, a plate of pickled vegetables, and two large steamed buns made from a mixture of wheat and vegetables, Li Qin returned to the restaurant.
The moment the door closed, some other things appeared on the table.
What was brought out from the kitchen just now was a cover-up; these were Li Qin's real dinners.
There's fish and meat, cold dishes and hot dishes, soup and staple food...
Not only does it have excellent color, aroma, and taste, but it is also very nutritionally balanced.
Li Qin then hid at home and started cooking for himself.
After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Li Qin sat in the living room to rest with a cup of tea.
"Hopefully, after this performance evaluation, the courtyard house will be able to stay peaceful for a while."
Li Qin sipped his tea while thinking to himself.
However, Yi Zhonghai failed the Level 7 assessment this time, while Jia Dongxu passed the Level 2 assessment, which caused some changes in things.
Perhaps some changes will occur in the Yi and Jia families in the future.
For some reason, the two families, which should have been very close, have become somewhat estranged recently.
Now that Jia Dongxu has passed the Level 2 assessment and his salary has increased, Yi Zhonghai has failed to suppress Liu Haizhong in terms of worker level.
In addition, Yi Zhonghai has never had any children of his own, and only has his wife at home;
In contrast, Liu Haizhong has three children, all of whom are sons.
Although two of them didn't meet Liu Haizhong's standards, they were still much better than Yi Zhonghai, who was all alone.
If Yi Zhonghai hadn't had the support of the deaf old woman in the backyard from the very beginning, he wouldn't have been able to fight against Liu Haizhong at all.
The deaf old woman cannot be used casually; she can only be used as a last resort.
Normally, Yi Zhonghai still needs to rely on himself to fight against Liu Haizhong.
In order to maintain his authority in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai had to find ways to win over certain people.
The Jia family must be among them.
Regardless of the circumstances, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu have a master-disciple relationship.
With the addition of He Yuzhu, a double-crown criminal, Yi Zhonghai was able to suppress Liu Haizhong.
The two of them targeting each other will inevitably tie down each other's energy, leaving them with no extra energy to cause trouble for others.
This is also a major reason why Li Qin intervened in the two's assessment.
However, some things may not develop as expected, no matter how well planned or calculated.
Otherwise, the word "surprise" wouldn't have appeared.
Li Qin's idea was excellent, but whether he could ultimately achieve his goal was another matter entirely.
However, he didn't care. He was just pushing things along by chance, and it would be best if the plan succeeded in the end.
If that doesn't work, he has other methods.
Time flies by.
With the appointed time with Li Huaide fast approaching, Li Qin put down his teacup, closed the door, and pushed his bicycle away from the courtyard house.
No one in the courtyard found it strange that Li Qin was leaving.
I'm used to it.
They assumed Li Qin was going to night school.
What they wouldn't know was that Li Qin wasn't actually going to class, but rather to drink and dine with his superiors.
If Liu Haizhong in the backyard knew, he would definitely be green with envy.
That evening's drinking party was once again Li Qin's show.
Although there were more people at the drinking party tonight compared to the previous two nights, everyone was more relaxed now that the assessment was over.
But in the end, Li Qin still swept the entire field.
Whether it's the leaders of higher-level departments, the engineers from outside, or the leaders within the steel rolling mill.
In the end, very few of them remained sober.
It was through these two drinking parties that Li Qin's reputation gradually spread beyond the steel rolling mill.
