Snapped!

Wan Ping'an rushed forward and slapped Yi Zhonghai hard across the face again.

Yi Zhonghai's left and right cheeks are now symmetrical!

There were large handprints on both sides of his face!

"Wan Ping'an, how could you hit someone like that?"

“Yi Zhonghai is an elder, the person in charge of the compound, and also your senior. You should respect him!”

The deaf old lady, leaning on her cane, angrily lectured Wan Ping'an.

"roll!"

"I don't care whether you acknowledge him as your father or your grandfather."

"But at most, we're just neighbors, we're not related at all. He's not qualified to be my elder!"

Wan Ping'an doesn't have the habit of randomly recognizing elders.

Calling someone "uncle" or "grandpa" is just a polite way of addressing them, not an indication that you consider them an elder.

"Yi Zhonghai, who gave you the right to convene a hospital-wide meeting at will?"

"We need to convene a hospital-wide meeting, or notify everyone of the directives from higher authorities, and gather everyone together to study them."

"Or it could be a major event that affects the entire hospital, something that everyone needs to know about and participate in."

"My conflict with you and me, and with Jia Zhangshi, is just a personal one. Wouldn't holding a general meeting for the whole hospital be a waste of everyone's time?"

"Why are you wasting everyone's time?"

Wan Ping'an questioned sternly.

Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Wan Ping'an makes a good point. If conflicts between individuals don't affect the entire hospital, why hold a hospital-wide meeting?

There is only one purpose.

They used everyone in the hospital to force Wan Ping'an to submit!

But this is his selfish desire, something he can't let see in the light, and he can't openly talk about it!

“This is not a private conflict between you and me, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu.”

"This is a major matter concerning the safety of the entire hospital. Of course, we should hold a hospital-wide meeting to let everyone vote on whether or not to expel Qin Huairu?"

Yi Zhonghai managed to find a reason.

Snapped!

Wan Ping'an slapped him again.

That slap landed right on the forehead!

A blood-red handprint appeared on Yi Zhonghai's left cheek, right cheek, and forehead!

puff!

Many people couldn't hold back any longer.

Yi Zhonghai's appearance was so funny that even Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but laugh. The deaf old lady could only turn her head away; she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

"Yi Zhonghai, who do you think you are?"

"The leaders of the subdistrict office?"

"Police chief?"

"You are not any of those. You are just a manager. Your responsibility is to mediate, to resolve conflicts. You have no law enforcement power!"

"Even if you want to kick someone out, it's not up to you to decide."

"You can only report it to the local neighborhood committee or call the police!"

Wan Ping'an explained the science to everyone.

Yi Zhonghai, as an old man in the courtyard, is actually just a mediator. He has no law enforcement power and cannot deal with anyone!

"You're convening a hospital-wide meeting to kick people out? That's patriarchal behavior, a restoration of feudal bureaucracy!"

"Yi Zhonghai, do you know your crime?"

Wan Ping'an shouted.

Swish!

Yi Zhonghai's face instantly lost all color.

What bureaucratic restoration?

What kind of patriarchal style is this?

These are all incredibly high praises that could be fatal!

Once you're put on a sack, even if you don't risk your life, your future will definitely be ruined!

"I don't!"

"I'm not!"

You can't smear me!

Yi Zhonghai's flustered explanation.

“I think Ping An is right. Yi Zhonghai, if you want to hold a hospital-wide meeting to kick people out, what are you if not a feudal patriarch?”

Xu Fugui kicked him when he was down...

Yi Zhonghai is in trouble, so of course he has to kick him while he's down!

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Yi Zhonghai had only been an old man for a short time, and his prestige had not yet been established. Coupled with the rumors, few people had any respect for him.

Jia Zhangshi quietly retreated.

She was afraid.

Wan Ping'an is amazing.

Yi Zhonghai was dealt with terribly, and she was afraid that she would be next.

"Jia Zhangshi, stop right there! Who said you could leave?"

"This whole thing started because of you, aren't you going to give everyone an explanation?"

Wan Ping'an called out to Jia Zhangshi.

"My son will be back soon, I need to go back and cook for him!"

Jia Zhangshi walked even faster.

"Jia Zhangshi, if you dare to leave, I'll beat you up all the way to your house. The courtyard isn't very big; let's see where you can run to."

Wan Ping'an stared coldly at Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi lowered her raised foot.

Wan Ping'an is right. The courtyard is only so big. Where could she possibly run to?

Running home isn't safe either!

"This whole thing started because of you. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Wan Ping'an looked at Jia Zhangshi.

"Uh, it was just a misunderstanding, it's okay, it's okay now."

Jia Zhangshi shook her head repeatedly.

“She’s afraid to say it, so I will.”

“When I came back, Jia Zhangshi stopped me and tried to make me marry her son. I disagreed, and she kept harassing me and saying bad things about Ping An.”

"I was so angry that I slapped him twice."

Qin Huairu couldn't help but step forward.

Everyone suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

"Jia Zhangshi is a real scoundrel. She's already been on blind dates, and Qin Huairu didn't even like her son, so why is she still bothering her?"

"If it were me, I would slap her twice too."

“I don’t think you’ll dare to slap her. Jia Zhangshi is too good at making trouble. With an old man backing her up, if you slap her twice, she’ll dare to extort two hundred yuan from you.”

"It's true, the old man is becoming more and more biased towards the Jia family."

Everyone blamed Jia Zhangshi.

They quickly dragged Yi Zhonghai into it as well.

Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy. How come he was involved in everything?

"Qin Huairu is talking nonsense."
