Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

Chapter 501 Actively stick to the bottom line

When the second uncle heard Director Wang’s criticism, his face turned red and he felt very aggrieved.

He really couldn't understand it. He had clearly arranged it according to Director Wang's wishes, but how come Director Wang said it was considered as making his own decisions?

You said supervision, so what's wrong with him arranging someone to supervise?

If we don't arrange someone to keep an eye on him all the time, what if Yi Zhonghai takes advantage of the situation and does something bad?

To put it politely, he is taking precautions before problems arise.

However, even though he felt wronged, the Second Uncle naturally did not dare to refute Director Wang's words. He could only smile and say, "Director Wang is right. I was thinking wrongly."

Seeing that the second uncle admitted his mistake, Director Wang did not make things difficult for him. After all, his starting point was good, but his method was a bit extreme.

Then, Director Wang turned to look at everyone and explained to them with a smile:

"My purpose of asking everyone to supervise Yi Zhonghai is to urge him to reform and become a new man, not to have everyone keep an eye on him all the time."

"How can people live in peace if Liu Haizhong follows his way?"

"Although Yi Zhonghai made mistakes, he has paid the price for them."

"What we need to do now is to urge him to have a deeper understanding of the mistakes he has made, reflect on them at all times, and not make the same mistakes again."

After Director Wang finished his explanation, the crowd below immediately started talking.

Some people think that what Director Wang said makes sense, while others think that the arrangement of Liu Haizhong is also fine.

Anyway, there are different opinions.

Yi Zhonghai on the stage felt relieved after Director Wang finished speaking.

If he really did as Liu Haizhong said and arranged someone to supervise him, he really didn't know if he could continue to live in the courtyard.

There will be people following you wherever you move. It’s chilling to think about what that life would be like.

While everyone was discussing, the third uncle rolled his eyes and suddenly interrupted, flattering Director Wang:

"Director Wang is very conscious, thoughtful, and far-sighted. We will definitely follow his instructions."

Unlike the reckless Second Uncle, the Third Uncle was a shrewd man who knew the timing of his interruptions very well. What's more, his words not only praised Director Wang, but also would not offend Yi Zhonghai like the Second Uncle did. Instead, they earned some favor from Yi Zhonghai.

Director Wang automatically blocked out the flattery of others and turned to look at Yi Zhonghai standing next to him:

"Yi Zhonghai, do you have any opinions? If so, you can raise them now."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Director Wang ask him, he immediately shook his head and said:

"No, Director Wang, I will do as you said, reflect on myself, repent, and start a new life, so as not to disappoint you and the government."

In fact, Director Wang’s question is unnecessary. What is Yi Zhonghai’s current identity?

At this time, even if Yi Zhonghai had any opinions, he couldn't say them out loud.

"Okay, Yi Zhonghai, since you have no objection, I won't say much. I hope you can do what you say."

Director Wang gave Yi Zhonghai some dignity and did not make things difficult for him. Instead, he reminded him to do what he said.

"Director Wang, don't worry, I can definitely do it."

Hearing Director Wang's words, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved and quickly made the promise.

He was really afraid that Director Wang would catch him and make him make a self-criticism on stage, which would make him lose face even more.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai's attitude was quite sincere, Director Wang nodded and instructed:

"Well, it's a good attitude. Go to the street office every morning and evening to report your thoughts and write a self-criticism so that everyone can see your determination to recognize your mistakes."

"Okay, Director Wang."

Yi Zhonghai just wanted to end it quickly, so naturally he would do whatever Director Wang said.

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Director Wang turned around and gave a final summary to everyone:

"Okay, that's all for today. I hope everyone will always remember what happened to Yi Zhonghai and take it as a warning. Don't do anything that violates the law, otherwise the law will be ruthless."

"Director Wang said it well. We should always remember what Yi Zhonghai did and never follow his example and do the wrong thing."

After Director Wang finished speaking, the second uncle started to agree and applaud.

Knowing that this was Director Wang's final summary, everyone was very respectful and after the second uncle took the lead in applauding, they also started to applaud.

This time, Director Wang did not criticize the second uncle. Instead, he smiled and nodded at him with a look of approval.

Although the second uncle in this courtyard is unreliable, he is very motivated.

We cannot simply discourage his enthusiasm; we still need to give him appropriate encouragement.

The third uncle saw Director Wang smiling and nodding at the second uncle, and he suddenly felt regretful. Why didn't he take the initiative and let the second uncle take the limelight? It was really a mistake.

When everyone started to applaud, Director Wang waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

After receiving the instructions, everyone gradually stopped clapping.

"Okay, it's okay. Sorry for disturbing you all today. Let's go home."

When the applause stopped, Director Wang asked everyone to go home.

When the second uncle heard Director Wang asking everyone to leave, he was stunned for a moment, thinking, isn't this usually his job?

How come Director Wang snatched it away today?

Afterwards, the second uncle reflected and felt that he was not proactive enough, and he had to ask Director Wang to do this little thing for him.

After Director Wang told everyone they could leave, he talked in a low voice with the people who had gathered together for a while. Finally, he came to Yi Zhonghai and told Yi Zhonghai to reflect on himself, and then took everyone away.

After Director Wang left, the courtyard suddenly became lively, and everyone was chattering about Director Wang's speech.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai couldn't stay to listen to everyone's discussion, so he turned around and went home as soon as Director Wang left.

He just came out today and was thinking of hiding at home for a few days.

He didn't expect Director Wang and his team to come suddenly and call everyone to a meeting, making him stand in public as a negative example for such a long time. This made him feel extremely embarrassed. How could he possibly stay there?

Cai Quanwu looked at the backs of Yi Zhonghai and his wife as they left, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and started smoking.

As soon as he lit it, the second uncle and the third uncle came up to him.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, you two have caused so much harm to people." Cai Quanwu joked after the two men came over.

"Mr. Cai, you can't say that. We went there out of kindness to show our concern. It was just a coincidence. Who knew Director Wang and the others would come?"

After hearing Cai Quanwu's joke, the third uncle began to quibble.

He couldn't possibly say that he was deliberately delaying leaving just to get a free meal.

"Yes, yes, Old Yan is right, we just happened to be there, Old Cai, you can't wrongly accuse me."

After listening to the third uncle's excuses, the second uncle agreed with them and felt that Cai Quanwu was wrongly accusing them.

They clearly had good intentions and went to visit Yi Zhonghai, but who could have imagined that this would happen.

Cai Quanwu knew that the third uncle was suspected of freeloading, but he couldn't refute him. However, he was not so polite to the second uncle and complained:

"Come on, Lao Liu."

"You are the worst. They invited you to eat meat and drink wine, but you immediately tried to rubbish them in front of Director Wang."

"Believe it or not, they are cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations in their hearts."

The second uncle felt very embarrassed when he heard Cai Quanwu's complaints, and said angrily:

"Old Cai, I don't like what you said. What do you mean by I am the worst?"

"I am sticking to my bottom line. I will not give up my bottom line just because someone treats me to a meal or a drink."

"I firmly distance myself from those with bad records. What's wrong with me doing this? How can it be said that I am adding insult to injury?"

After hearing the second uncle's shameless words, Cai Quanwu had no way to refute it. He was truly shameless and invincible.

"Okay, you just stick to your bottom line, okay?"

"From now on, just pray that no one hits you with a club."
