The Awkward Situation of Being Slapped in the Face
After work, Chen Yi and Old Zhao went to have a few drinks together.
Still slightly tipsy, Chen Yi got up and went home.
As it was the first day of the new year, the major factories were not too busy.
All the families in the courtyard had returned early.
Yi Zhonghai was also in a good mood as he waited at the door. He decided to " visit " Chen Yi once he returned.
Although he usually ignored her, this time, after helping him so much, he would at least listen to her properly!
Soon, Chen Yi passed by the middle court.
Yi Zhonghai, who had been waiting in the room for a long time, had his eyes lit up when he saw Chen Yi.
In order not to appear too abrupt.
Yi Zhonghai was in the house again. He waited patiently for nearly ten minutes before he slowly walked out of the house with his hands behind his back.
When he arrived at the backyard, he tidied up his clothes again before knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
A moment later, Chen Yi's slightly impatient voice came from the room.
"It's me, Yi Zhonghai from the Central Court. Chen Yi, can you open the door?”
“……”
Chen Yi opened the door just as Yi Zhonghai was replying. He just looked at Yi Zhonghai in silence.
"Ahem, um, Chen Yi, aren't you going to invite me in?”
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't disturb me from cooking!”
He even wanted to come to his house for a visit. Chen Yi felt that he had been giving this old thing too much face recently.
Or did he think that she would forget what he had done in the past after the new year?
Therefore, his tone was very stiff, and he told Yi Zhonghai to " spit it out."
“……”
"Alright, actually, I'm here today to congratulate you on becoming our factory's 'model work'!”
After all, Yi Zhonghai was a shrewd person.
Although he was a little angry at Chen Yi's disrespectful tone, he still endured it and continued to put on an easy-going appearance, congratulating him nicely.
"Oh, I know. Is there anything else?"
Chen Yi nodded indifferently. He knew that the other party must have something else to say.
"Uh, it's like this. Chen Yi, do you know why you became a model worker this time?”
"Actually, I've helped you a lot in this!”
Sensing that the conversation was not going well, Yi Zhonghai decided to lay his cards on the table.
"Think about it. The second place has 260 votes. If I didn't pull some strings and help you get 210 votes in two workshops, how could you surpass him?”
Yi Zhonghai was in the workshop at that time, so he did not hear Chen Yi's votes clearly. However, he knew the number of votes for the second place.
After that, he subconsciously guessed that Chen Yi probably only had around 300 votes. If it wasn't for his help, he would never have been first.
Therefore, when he said this, his expression was still a little smug.
"What?"
"No, I want to say, what does my first place have to do with you?”
When Chen Yi heard Yi Zhonghai's words, he looked at him strangely.
He felt that Yi Zhonghai must be out of his mind because he schemed against people every day.
Otherwise, why would he talk nonsense all of a sudden?
"Chen Yi, what do you mean?”
Seeing that Chen Yi didn't seem to admit it, Yi Zhonghai was a little anxious. He planned to explain things to him.
"What do you mean by it has nothing to do with me?”
"Think about it carefully. Without my help, could you have been a model worker?”
Yi Zhonghai felt that he was already patiently guiding Chen Yi to think about the number of votes.
However…
His actions only made Chen Yi's gaze become even stranger!
"What's there to think about?"
"Second place only has 260 votes. Even without your 210 votes, I would still be first!”
Chen Yi's words revealed a sense of matter-of-fact, which made Yi Zhonghai feel a little flustered.
"No, you're talking nonsense. How many votes do you have?”
"Without my help, how are you going to beat him?”
In Yi Zhonghai's opinion, Chen Yi's " model worker " was obviously his own credit. How could he deny it at this time?
"Yi Zhonghai, did you take the wrong medicine?”
"How many votes did I get? I got 526 votes. So what if you got me 210 votes?”
"Tell me, even without you, even if I only had 316 votes, would I still be first?”
"Day after day. If you're sick, go see him early. Don't jump out to scare people!”
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was still unwilling to give up, Chen Yi did not hold back and directly pointed out the data to the old man's face.
After that, he ignored Yi Zhonghai and slammed the door shut.
In the backyard.
At Chen Yi's door, Yi Zhonghai stood there in a daze for a long time. Suddenly, he took a few steps forward and arrived at the door of Liu Haizhong's house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door continuously.
"Who is it? Come, come, stop knocking!”
"Hey, it's you, Grandpa Yi. Is there something wrong again?”
The person who opened the door was Second Aunt. When she realized that it was Yi Zhonghai, she instinctively thought that something had happened in the courtyard again.
"I'm looking for Old Liu…"
Yi Zhonghai had mixed feelings. After a simple sentence, he went straight into the house.
"Old Liu, I want to ask you something…"
"Um, how many votes did Chen Yi get during the announcement this afternoon?”
Yi Zhonghai still couldn't accept the reality, so he went to Second Uncle's house to verify it.
At this moment, Liu Haizhong was having dinner. The classic fried eggs served as a side dish.
After all, not everyone could be like Chen Yi next door, eating meat from the heavens…
“？？”
Old Yi, what's wrong with you?"
"Although I know that Chen Yi got first place and fulfilled your wish. But you don't have to come to my place after work to show off!”
"Didn't you ask me for help when he got first place?”
Liu Haizhong took a sip of wine and smacked his lips before he asked Yi Zhonghai.
"This…what kind of show off is this?"
"I really didn't hear the broadcast clearly in the afternoon. If you know, just say it!”
Yi Zhonghai asked again seriously.
"526 votes. Doesn't everyone in the factory know about this?”
"And it was the two of us who helped him pull in more than 200 votes to raise his votes so high. In the past five years, he should be the one with the highest number of votes…"
Liu Haizhong didn't waste any more time and confirmed for Yi Zhonghai that what Chen Yi said was true.
……
The weather was still a little cold in the first month of the year.
At this moment, some snowflakes began to fall from the sky.
Yi Zhonghai walked silently from the backyard to the middle courtyard. It was only a few steps when he came, but now he felt that it was a long walk.
He had to admit that his heart was in a mess!
Yi Zhonghai felt that his heart was colder than the snowflakes in the courtyard!
"This Chen Yi, how can he have more than 300 votes?”
"Who exactly is it that has ruined my plans behind my back?”
Now, the person who was puzzled had become Yi Zhonghai.
Walking in the snow.
Yi Zhonghai felt his entire body go numb.
If he had asked on the spot in the afternoon when he didn't hear her clearly, he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.
Shame was secondary. Anyway, he was old and thick-skinned, so it didn't matter.
However, his plan, his dream of repairing his relationship with Chen Yi, was shattered once again!
"What do we do now?"
"When will we find such a good opportunity next time?”
A cold wind blew past.
Yi Zhonghai tightened his clothes. He did not dare to delay any longer and could only run home dejectedly.
