Chapter 859 Yi Zhonghai threatens Liu Haizhong
Liu Haizhong felt delighted. Now that Yi Zhonghai had lost his power and his influence in the courtyard was much less pronounced than before, the house in the backyard was firmly his. It was a done deal, irrevocable. At this thought, he could already see his family happily moving into the house and living comfortably there. He could see his wife busy in the brand new kitchen, the children laughing and playing in the spacious yard, the whole family enjoying themselves. The thought brought a smug smile to his face, a smile filled with satisfaction and a vision for the future.
This joy made Liu Haizhong feel particularly happy. During dinner in the evening, he drank a few more glasses of wine with great enthusiasm. The slightly tipsy state made him more immersed in the fantasy of a better life in the future.
The next morning, the sun had just risen, and the sunlight shone through the window onto Liu Haizhong's face. He got up sleepily and was about to pack up to go to work when Yi Zhonghai hurried over. The moment Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of impatience and unhappiness.
Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai and said unhappily, "Old Yi, what are you doing here? Didn't I make it very clear before? Don't think about that matter anymore. The house is definitely mine." There was a hint of unquestionable toughness in his tone, as if he was declaring his sovereignty over the house to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai was not in a hurry, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Okay, we have been friends for so many years, don't we know each other's situation? Do you really want me to tell others about what happened back then?" There was a hint of cunning in Yi Zhonghai's eyes. He knew that this sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, enough to make Liu Haizhong afraid.
When Liu Haizhong heard this, the words he was about to retort were instantly stuck in his throat. He looked at Yi Zhonghai, feeling angry and resentful. This Yi Zhonghai was like a piece of sticky candy that he couldn't get rid of, always using the things that happened in the past to threaten him. He knew in his heart that this bastard Yi Zhonghai did have something on him. Once he told it out, his reputation in Siheyuan and even the entire factory would be ruined. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai helplessly and asked, "Yi Zhonghai, tell me what exactly do you want to do? Don't beat around the bush here."
Seeing Liu Haizhong give in, Yi Zhonghai's smile became more obvious. He said, "Liu Haizhong, how about this? From now on, the Jia family and your family will split the house in the backyard, and each family will get half. What do you think?" Yi Zhonghai's tone seemed to be negotiating, but in fact it carried an implication that it could not be refused.
When Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately became unhappy. He stared at Yi Zhonghai with wide eyes and said, "Old Yi, what does the Jia family have to do with you? Why do you have to help them like this? Don't go too far!" He really couldn't understand why Yi Zhonghai would stand up for the Jia family and ruin his own good things.
Yi Zhonghai still smiled and said slowly: "As long as you accomplish this matter, there will be no more problems in the future, and you don't have to worry about me bringing up what happened in the past. How about it?" Yi Zhonghai knew in his heart that he had originally wanted to use this matter to get back his position as the eldest master, but now it seems that using it here might gain some benefits for the Jia family, which can be regarded as making the best use of it.
Although Liu Haizhong was burning with anger, after weighing the pros and cons, he could only nod helplessly and said with gritted teeth: "Yi Zhonghai, remember this, you have threatened me for half my life. You must never talk about this again in the future, do you understand?" His eyes were full of warnings, as if he was showing Yi Zhonghai his final bottom line.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't worry. As long as you do what I say about the house, I promise not to mention it again."
Liu Haizhong's eyes widened in disbelief. He hadn't expected Yi Zhonghai to bring up that matter so openly. A surge of rage suddenly ignited within him, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the strain. However, despite his rage, he managed to suppress it. After all, he had already agreed to Yi Zhonghai's proposal.
Liu Haizhong took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, since that's the case, let's do it after get off work today. Then we can find a quiet place and talk about this matter properly, how about it?" He tried his best to make his tone sound calmer, but he still couldn't hide his helplessness.
Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, with a hint of caution in his eyes, and said: "Okay, but don't let anyone know about this. Once it gets out, things will be troublesome." He knew in his heart that the fewer people who knew about this, the better. After all, it involved the distribution of interests. If other people knew about it, the situation would become complicated.
Liu Haizhong naturally understood what Yi Zhonghai meant. He nodded quickly and hurried away. He was secretly thinking that only he and the Jia family were sharing in the profits. If other people knew about this, it would be troublesome. Especially Yan Bugui, the calculating man in the front yard. If he knew about it, he would definitely try his best to interfere. Then his share of the profits would be even smaller, and the situation would become even more difficult.
However, some people were destined not to let this matter slip away so easily. Gu Nan went out to work as usual, and just as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Nan. He knew clearly that Gu Nan was now the deputy director of the steel mill. Although Yan Bugui usually looked down on Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter, and thought he was just a skilled worker, nothing special, he dared not look down on Gu Nan. After all, although one of his children went to the countryside, he still had another child. He thought to himself that it would be great if Gu Nan could help arrange for his child to work in the steel mill.
Thinking of this, Yan Bugui immediately smiled and hurried towards Gu Nan, saying enthusiastically: "Deputy Director Gu, are you getting ready to go to work?" There was a flattering tone in his tone and his eyes were full of expectation.
Gu Nan nodded politely and responded, "Teacher Yan, are you getting ready to go to work?" Gu Nan looked at Yan Bugui's eagerness and secretly laughed at him. At the same time, he made up his mind to tell Yan Bugui about the fight between Liu Haizhong and the Jia family over the backyard house. He thought to himself that with Yan Bugui's greedy nature, he would definitely not sit idly by when he heard about this. Then there would be a good show in the courtyard.
