Chapter 2243 Old Li visits to apologize
Xu Damao has been in a good mood lately, after all, the news that Wang Baye had two of his fruits picked has already spread.
Now that there was finally someone in the courtyard who was in a worse situation than him, the entire Xu family breathed a sigh of relief.
After Liu Haizhong finished assigning tasks, Jia Zhangshi started asking again who would have the next meal after this one.
"Hey Fatty, shall we eat Zhong Zhengguo or Zhao Lichun for our next meal?"
Liu Haizhong burst out laughing upon hearing this, secretly thinking, "I'll be eating your food next time." He added, "Grandma, you absolutely must come tomorrow night, don't be cowards!"
"Draw lots, whoever draws first goes first. Are you satisfied now!"
This trick was taught to Liu Haizhong by Lin Chen, since Zhong Zhengguo and Zhao Lichun were both vying to host the banquet.
Liu Haizhong didn't want to offend anyone, so he asked his brother Lin for advice. Lin Chen told him to draw lots! What else could they do? Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. That way, none of them could say anything, since they were the ones who drew the lots.
In Lin Chen's view, problems that are difficult to solve should be pushed aside; why bother wasting your brainpower?
When the people in the courtyard heard that they would have to draw lots to determine the order of the feast, they were immediately stunned! This was something they had never heard of in their entire lives! They actually had to draw lots to hold a banquet?
Madam Jia pressed on again, "Alright, alright, when will you arrest them?"
Liu Haizhong snorted coldly and turned to leave: "Go ask them, how would I know?"
After receiving their tasks, everyone went home, not wanting to listen to Jia Zhangshi's idle chatter, as they all had to go to work the next day. Why worry about things so far ahead when they hadn't even eaten yet!
Liu Haizhong then ran to Guo Dapizi's house, and Yang Laosan followed him there.
Seeing this scene, Yi Zhonghai, who was standing at his doorstep, felt a mix of emotions... The old man never imagined that this fat man would turn his courtyard house upside down.
The courtyard house now has twice as many people as before, and by any measure, she is more capable than Liu Haizhong. So why did things turn out this way?
Yi Zhonghai grew increasingly angry. He had painstakingly cultivated his courtyard for years, only to find himself relegated to the sidelines. It was infuriating! And he was constantly being manipulated by these bastards…
Yi Zhonghai didn't seem to realize that these troublemakers in the hospital weren't easily dealt with by ordinary people. Liu Haizhong was merely an agent; there were many things Lin Chen couldn't directly address.
If Lin Chen didn't try to keep things under control here, Liu Haizhong wouldn't be able to finish the job in a week, believe it or not.
Before leaving, Jia Zhangshi glanced at the dazed Yi Zhonghai and then dismissed him with disdain. Who would waste their breath on a nobody like Yi Zhonghai, who offered her no benefit whatsoever?

Saturday morning
Commander Li personally went to the steel rolling mill to deliver medical expenses, ostensibly to apologize on behalf of his three subordinates. In reality, however, he was apologizing himself…
An apology is necessary! Staff Officer Wang and the others haven't been released yet, and the higher-ups are hinting that he should take responsibility. Admitting mistakes and correcting them is the only way!
Lin Chen's office
Secretary Lin and Lao Li finally met. The moment Commander Li saw Lin Chen, he felt the urge to beat his son again.
After exchanging pleasantries, Lao Li took out an envelope he had prepared in advance.
"Secretary Lin, this is the compensation they paid to the people in the courtyard for their medical expenses. Thank you so much for not pursuing this matter. I will definitely give them a severe reprimand when I get back..."
Although Lin Chen didn't take the money, a quick glance told him it was a huge sum of two thousand yuan. Even though three groups of people took turns chasing and beating him, the compensation was still considerable. If Lin Chen hadn't pursued the matter, it would have been settled for a maximum of two hundred yuan.
"They should be given a good reprimand and a lesson, but there's no need to push them too far, especially since we're cadres. By the way, I heard Commander Li is going to Southeast Asia to fight pirates. Why don't we take them all with us? Leaving them in Beijing will only cause you trouble sooner or later."
Now that things have come to this, Lin Chen isn't going to hide anything anymore. Let the other party think what they want; he'll be leaving in a few days anyway.
When Commander Li heard Lin Chen ask him to take all these people with him, he was filled with emotion again.
After all, who knows when he'll be back... and he'll never have any capable assistants in Beijing again.
"I thank Secretary Lin on behalf of Staff Officer Wang and the others! They have all made meritorious contributions before; they were just confused for a moment this time."
Lin Chen had already discussed the matter of the Lou family donating four second-hand warships with the important figures above him, so he wouldn't mention it to Commander Li at all.
The Li family took a large number of people with them when they left this time, and Lin Chen just happened to fill in for his own men. At this rate, the naval compound will practically need to be renamed!
If Lao Li knew, he'd probably regret it to the point of vomiting blood. Why did he have to provoke the Lin family of the courtyard house? What a fool!
Lin Chen politely escorted the other person downstairs from the factory office building, but it was impossible for him to see them all the way to the main gate.
Lin Chen was giving the other person a huge favor by escorting them downstairs.
"Commander Li, have a safe journey! I'll treat you to drinks next time you come back."
Commander Li sighed inwardly and waved to Lin Chen.
I messed with the wrong person, and now I can only blame myself for the bad luck.
After watching the car leave, Lin Chen turned around and winked at An Jie, who was peeking from the second-floor corridor.
Even though they've been married for a long time, An Jie still felt as sweet as if she'd eaten honey, all because Lin Chen knew how to flirt with her…
"Secretary Lin, don't forget you have a meeting to chair at the Discipline Inspection Commission this afternoon."
"I know, go get busy!"
Lin Chen went straight to the logistics department. Wang Pangzi had officially retired due to illness. Liang Ladi was gradually taking over the logistics department, and Lin Chen wanted to help her keep things under control. He also wanted to tease Zhao Xinmei and Niu Shurong a bit…
……
Red Star Hospital
When Wang Baye woke up, he neither cried nor made a fuss; instead, he was relieved that he had survived.
"Dapeng...water..."
When Ma Banjie saw that the old man had finally woken up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Eighth Master, you're finally awake! Uncle Lin came by at lunchtime and said you'd wake up soon. I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly!"
After Ma Banjie fed the other person a little water with a spoon, Wang Baye took a deep breath.
"How many days have I been sleeping?"
Ma Banjie made a gesture: "It's been three days and three nights! I've been guarding here the whole time. Dachun, Chenggang, and Dawei also came to protect you tonight."
To prevent Wang Baye from actually being beaten to death, Da Sha Chun, Qi Houzi, and Qi Wei would also come over at night.
After all, this was the work of their group; a perfectly healthy person is now on the verge of death.
However, it wasn't because they had a change of heart, but because they genuinely didn't want Master Wang to die right now.
"Okay, okay... Hurry up and get the cart ready. We'll go home after they get off work."
Old Master Wang really dared not stay here! Red Star Hospital was a nightmare for him.
Getting beaten up is bad enough! And their medical skills are awful too. If it weren't for Brother Lin's intervention, these quacks would have practically sent me to the morgue! Good heavens! Luckily, I know a miracle doctor, or I'd be finished!
