Liu Haizhong said helplessly: "There are no faults in Lin Zhen's newly built house. It does not hinder the neighbors' access, and it is paid for by himself. He has many children and has no place to live, unlike you who have a house in the thermos factory, so Director Zhao does not approve it."
."
Liu Guangqi said angrily: "This is too unfair. He can build it but we can't? Is it because I returned the house assigned to the thermos bottle factory and the street office allowed us to build it?"
Liu Haizhong said with a bit of embarrassment: "I'm afraid not. If we build an additional house, it will definitely affect the deaf old lady's ability to go out. The street office will not approve it. One more thing, where will you live if you vacate the house? Do you still need to build a wooden shed?"
"
Liu Guangqi was so angry that he could not speak.
Dong Xiuni said: "If you can't live in a courtyard, it doesn't make sense whether the steel rolling mill is divided into houses or not. They are all so far away, and moving will be troublesome!"
Liu Guangqi said angrily: "Okay, let's leave it like this for now, I shouldn't even come back from other places!"
Liu Guangqi was disappointed, but his jealousy did not diminish at all.
He really envied Lin Zhen for the house he built.
Originally, Lin Zhen's two huts were crowded with a large family and it was very frustrating.
Now that two more rooms have been added, the total area has become the largest in the courtyard.
The four sons moved in. It was very spacious, and his family was the only one in the whole courtyard who lived well.
I remember that when Lin Zhen first moved here, many people in the courtyard looked down upon him.
A man who came from the country without a father or a mother reluctantly worked as an apprentice in a steel rolling mill with a letter of introduction.
Marrying a capitalist's daughter is simply ignorant and fearless.
But he never expected that in the past few years, Lin Zhen would become the most prosperous family in the entire alley and become a role model for everyone to follow.
And since I am an out-and-out native of Forty-Nine City, my future can be said to be bright.
Just because he got married late and was not assigned a house, he had no choice but to follow his wife to another place.
In the past few years, I have neither been a director nor a section chief, and I didn't even have a place to live when I returned to the city.
Liu Guangqi felt that his hard work these past few years had been in vain, and he might as well just not go to other places.
After returning home, Liu Guangqi didn't sleep well all night.
Over and over again, he was jealous of Lin Zhen's house and status, and he soon became obsessed with it.
He planned to write a letter of report silently to trick Lin Zhen.
Even if you can't live in a courtyard, you can still relieve your anger.
Report letters cannot be compiled casually. Otherwise, if they are filled with absurd nonsense, not only will Lin Zhen not be punished, but he will also be at risk of being investigated.
So starting from the next day, Liu Guangqi began to inquire about Lin Zhen intentionally or unintentionally.
He found out that Guo Dabozi had a quarrel with Lin Zhen.
During lunch, I deliberately shared the table with Guo Dabozi to chat.
As a result, Mr. Guo was very timid now. When he heard that Liu Guangqi was Liu Haizhong's eldest son, he immediately left with his rice bowl.
"Hey, Master Guo, why are you leaving? Let's chat for a while."
Guo Dabozi pursed his lips, drooped his eyelids and said: "Can you please tell Lin Gong or Qin Huairu that I just want to work honestly now until I retire? I won't be looking for work anymore, please let me go."
Kill me!"
Liu Guangqi felt happy upon hearing this.
Are you so scared by Lin Zhen? This is a die-hard comrade, much better than Silly Zhu who has no bottom line.
"Alas~ Master Guo, you have misunderstood. Although I am also from the Siheyuan, my relationship with Lin Zhen is not the same, and my relationship with Qin Huairu is only average."
Guo Dabozi smiled slightly and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it's useless. I have long been indifferent to fame and fortune, and now I am focused on using my remaining energy at my job. You have found the wrong person."
Seeing that Mr. Guo was about to leave, Liu Guangqi hurriedly said: "Master Guo, I was beaten by Lin Zhen himself. If you don't believe me, you can ask. I just want to ask you about his past, and I don't mean to drag you into trouble."
!”
Guo Dapizi is not a truly honest person.
The reason why he behaves so noble, so thorough, and so unconcerned.
It's because he has been stepped into the mud and cannot turn over.
He didn't dare to offend either Qin Huairu or Lin Zhen, but he always held a grudge in his heart.
Hearing what Liu Guangqi said, his mind moved.
Although he hated Qin Huairu more than Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen was also the enemy in his heart.
It would be good if we could take revenge.
"Comrade Liu Guangqi, I don't know what you are talking about? Please allow me to think about it for two days."
"Okay! Master Guo, not Director Guo."
"Oh? Why did you say that?"
"Hey, the director of our blacksmith workshop No. 9 is a foreman. He is not as good as you in terms of technology or management ability. I think you should learn from Lianpo and stay strong with time. You should not be like a defeated quail and surrender.
Lying on the ground and unable to get up."
Guo Dabozi smiled slightly and said, "Let's talk tomorrow. I'll go back first."
He wanted to go back and find out. If Liu Guangqi had really been beaten by Lin Zhen and was an enemy of Liu Guangtian, he was definitely Lin Zhen's enemy and he would definitely go with him.
Although their conversation was not loud, there were many people eating in the cafeteria, and several people saw them talking.
Among them is Liu Guangtian, who stares at his eldest brother every day.
One is afraid that his elder brother will play tricks on him, and the other is to keep an eye on Lin Zhen.
Liu Guangqi had no problem talking to anyone, but he chatted with Guo Dapai for a while, which made Liu Guangtian feel awkward.
After seeing Guo Dabozi leave, he quickly finished his meal in a few mouthfuls and came to Lin Zhen's office to report.
"Brother Lin, something's wrong."
"What's the matter? Tell me, don't panic."
Liu Guangtian glanced at his assistant Su Yumei, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
Lin Zhen frowned and said: "Let's put it bluntly, Yumei is not an outsider."
"Hey, that's not what I meant. I'm a little unsure about this. It may be a guess. I'll just report it to you and make your own judgment."
Then he told me what he saw in the cafeteria.
"Brother Lin, since my eldest brother was transferred to the steel rolling mill, I have been staring at him every day. He has no friendship with Guo Dapizi, and I didn't know him before. Suddenly he went to talk to Guo Dapizi. I feel very suspicious.
!”
Lin Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Don't think so much. There are many people in the cafeteria but few tables. Many workers have returned to the workshop with their rice bowls to eat. It's understandable that your eldest brother and Mr. Guo are sharing a long bench."
"No, that's not the case." Liu Guangtian shook his head and said, "He chatted with Guo for a long time. Guo had to hold him back twice when he wanted to leave. I suspect that his motives are not pure. Are you?
I don’t know that my eldest brother has loved to make snitches since he was a child, and he is very good at pretending to be righteous."
Lin Zhen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Perhaps, he wants to join forces with Guo Dapizi to prevent you from being the foreman, and wants you to clean the toilet with Silly Zhu. After all, you reported Guo Dapizi before, and now
It’s all spread.”
Liu Guangtian chuckled dryly, "I don't rule out having this idea, but it may be detrimental to you, so I came to report. My dad applied to build an additional house for my brother, but was criticized by Director Zhao of the subdistrict office.
Dun, do you know this?"
"Oh? Is this the case?"
"Hey! So you don't know yet!"
"tell me the story."
"Well, I also heard what my mother said last night. My brother came back this time and wanted to imitate you in building two more houses in the courtyard. As a result, my father applied with a big face, but was directly rejected by Director Zhao, and was also
I was severely criticized, and then they discussed the matter and kicked me and Guangfu out, which makes me angry when I think about it!"
Liu Guangtian explained what he knew in detail, and Lin Zhen nodded slightly after listening.
It was already ridiculous in his heart that Liu Guangqi was asking for trouble.
Originally, when Liu Guangtian came to report this kind of thing, Lin Zhen took it as a joke.
He felt that Liu Guangqi would not be stupid enough to provoke him when he came back, and Liu Haizhong would definitely tell him not to do that.
The reason why he went to find Guo Dazi was probably because he wanted to deal with his disobedient second brother Liu Guangtian.
Therefore, Lin Zhen believed that Liu Guangtian was here to seek help.
As far as Lin Zhen is concerned, Liu Guangqi and him have no big hatred for the time being.
There is no need to get involved in the fight between their brothers.
If Liu Guangtian was bullied really badly, Lin Zhen would help him.
But now that Liu Guangtian is dancing very well at home and confronts his father and brother alone every day, there is no need for him to fan the flames.
Now I heard Liu Guangtian say this.
Lin Zhen felt that Liu Guangqi was probably targeting him.
First of all, Liu Guangqi is a person who is easily jealous and hateful. If his application to build a house fails, he will take advantage of the situation.
Secondly, if he really was for his opponent Liu Guangtian, there was no need to join forces with Guo Dawei.
When he returned to his father Liu Haizhong, he started to suppress Liu Guangtian.
At worst, they could beat up Liu Guangtian together with Liu Haizhong, but they would never be able to unite with Guo Dayi.
If he and his father Liu Haizhongjia can't suppress Liu Guangtian.
Then it would be reasonable to find out some dirty information about Liu Guangtian and write an anonymous letter or something.
It is illogical to say that he is going to find Mr. Guo now to deal with Liu Guangtian.
Lin Zhen took precautions before it happened. Since there was a possibility of this, he could not ignore it.
But I don't want to appear suspicious and intolerant, and I don't want to punish anyone.
All I could do was pretend to be confused and try to seduce Liu Guangtian.
"Despite this, I thought your eldest brother came to the steel rolling mill just for the high salary and good treatment. In addition, your sister-in-law also works to earn extra income. He didn't come here specifically to build a house."
Liu Guangtian said: "I didn't expect it at first, but I found out later after I made special inquiries. He thought you could build a house, but he couldn't, and he was very angry. I think he wanted to recruit Guo Dabo to join him this time.
, we are looking for shady materials to write anonymous letters to report you together. This cannot be wrong, and we must put an end to it."
"Oh~ I can't say that about your elder brother. Maybe he is a little unbalanced in his heart, but he is not jealous to the point of being a scheming person. Don't make any assumptions. Maybe he just wants to sit and have dinner with Guo Dapai alone.
"
"Hey! Brother Lin, don't think the best of others. I know what kind of person my elder brother is, so you must pay attention!"
Liu Guangtian's words were half true and half false, and his loyalty to Lin Zhen was also half sincere and half selfish.
Rather than worrying about Lin Zhen, it is better to say that he is worried about himself.
After all, Mr. Guo had long heard that he had reported him before. The two men might have wanted to plot against Lin Zhen, but they were more likely to plot against him.
Lin Zhen smiled slightly and said: "Just do this, Guangtian. You should investigate carefully in the past few days. There is definite evidence that they want to trick me. Come and tell me again, otherwise don't be suspicious."
"Hey~ Brother Lin, you are so easy to talk to. Why are you different from before?"
Lin Zhen said with a smile: "I used to be like this. If you are afraid of trouble and don't want to investigate, but also want to be safe and have no worries, just treat others the way they are treated and report them directly to the point where they clean the toilet.
, keep pushing them into the quagmire and cannot protect themselves, and they will have no energy to make small moves. I don’t have the time or energy to participate in this kind of gossip."
