Chapter 307 Lou Bancheng 1 Hearing this, he was so angry that his face turned red

In another corner of the courtyard, Jia Zhang stood at the door and angrily questioned Lou Bancheng: "Lou Bancheng is getting more and more outrageous! He refused to help the orphans and widows, and at this time he didn't even give them some New Year's goods. This is really inhuman!"

Jia Zhang's voice aroused the sympathy of all the neighbors. At the same time, in the office building not far away, Mr. Lou was busy distributing red envelopes to the workers, wishing everyone a warm New Year. He knew that for many people, this year's Spring Festival might not be too easy. But Mr. Lou was still optimistic and believed that as long as everyone worked together to overcome difficulties, the future would be better.

"Secretary Yi, that drunkard Jia actually beat his wife again this time!" He Daqing squatted at the door of his house, smoking a pipe and sighing, "I heard that Jia Zhang's ribs were broken."

At this moment, Jia Zhang, whose face was as pale as paper, covered the wound on her chest tightly with tears in her eyes. Standing aside was Jia Dongxu, who was silent and angry, with a helpless look in his eyes.

"This time, that drunkard Old Jia has caused such a big trouble again." He Daqing continued to sigh, his words revealing worry, "I don't know how this will end."

Hearing this, Jia Zhang raised her eyes full of pleading and looked at Yi Zhonghai: "Secretary Yi, you must take care of this matter."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and sighed, "I have been warning him to change this bad habit, but he simply won't listen. It seems that we need to discuss a solution with the factory leaders."

"Can the factory really handle this properly?" Jia Dongxu glared back. "Old Jia, this situation is already..."

"Dongxu, please calm down," Yi Zhonghai interrupted his son. "This matter involves the interests of the factory and the village. We need to deal with it rationally. I have to report the situation to the leaders first to see what they say."

After Yi Zhonghai got up and left, Jia Zhang and her son looked at each other in silence.

As night fell, Yi Zhonghai returned to the village after a sumptuous banquet. Jia Zhangshi had been waiting at home, and the table was already filled with sumptuous food. Jia Zhangshi came forward and said anxiously, "Secretary Yi, you are finally back."

She went on to say: "Please help me with this matter no matter what. Even if we lose Lao Jia, we mother and son must survive."

The structure of the story remains unchanged after this rewrite, but the meaning of the original text is expressed in different language and the uniqueness of the original characters and situations is maintained.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, thought for a moment, and slowly sat down.

"Mrs. Zhang, it's not that I don't want to help, this matter is indeed a bit tricky. You also know that the factory handles this kind of thing very strictly..."

Jia Zhang interrupted him immediately, with a hint of firmness in her voice: "Secretary Yi, I understand your difficulties." She took a deep breath and continued, "I came here specially today, please discuss a solution with me. I wonder if you can help talk to the factory leaders and give the mother and son some compensation?"

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a while and sighed: "Mrs. Zhang, I will do my best. But the specific amount will be decided by the factory."

There was a hint of disappointment in Jia Zhang's eyes, but she still nodded, "Secretary Yi, I'll trouble you then."

In the next few days, Yi Zhonghai went back and forth to the factory to negotiate the matter. Finally, under the leadership of Lou Bancheng, a relatively reasonable compensation plan was reached: in addition to paying funeral expenses and pensions, an additional fifty silver dollars were added as compensation.

At first, Jia Zhang felt that the amount was too low and was inevitably dissatisfied. But when she thought of the situation when Old Jia was alive and the difficulties of her family, she gritted her teeth and agreed.

However, on the eve of signing the agreement, Yi Zhonghai's attitude changed. He said to Jia Zhang earnestly: "Mrs. Zhang, I think we can still fight for this matter. After all, Lao Jia had an accident because of the factory, and the factory should give us more compensation."

Jia Zhang was stunned. "Secretary Yi, what do you mean...?"

"What I mean is that we might as well talk to the factory again and try to increase the compensation to one hundred yuan," Yi Zhonghai said firmly.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang's heart was filled with gratitude, and her eyes sparkled with hope: "Secretary Yi, if we can really reach this number, we mother and son will have the confidence to survive!"

Yi Zhonghai assisted Jia Zhang to restart the negotiations. They found the relevant person in charge and expressed their acceptance of the compensation conditions but also hoped to increase the amount. Considering the problem of their own reputation, after several rounds of negotiations and adjustments, Lou Bancheng finally agreed to increase the compensation to 150 yuan.

When the news came, Jia Zhang and her son were pleasantly surprised and looked at Yi Zhonghai with gratitude: "Thank you so much, Secretary Yi! Without your help, it is hard to say what our situation would be like."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and waved his hand, saying, "These are all my responsibilities. After all, Lao Jia sacrificed himself for his work, and we should give him enough respect and support."

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai volunteered to act as an intermediary to assist Jia Zhang in signing the compensation agreement and ensure that his legal rights and interests were not harmed. This process demonstrated his superb negotiation skills and ensured a balance of interests between the two parties.

After signing the document, Jia Zhang felt relieved - she knew that the money would be an important support for the mother and son's life. Yi Zhonghai won unanimous praise and respect from the villagers for his outstanding performance. "Secretary Yi is really a great benefactor of our village!" Jia Dongxu said with emotion.

"Dongxu, don't say that." Yi Zhonghai waved his hand modestly, "I just did my part."

"In any case, we really want to thank you." Jia Zhang said gratefully, "If it weren't for you helping us, my mother and I really don't know what to do."

Yi Zhonghai smiled without saying anything. He knew that he was able to solve the problem smoothly, not only because of his own efforts and wisdom, but also because of the influence of Lao Jia on Lou Bancheng when he was alive.

This time, Jia Zhang said bluntly: "Lou Bancheng, don't play tricks on me. Either you solve my Dabao's job problem, or you take these fifty dollars now, and my family and I will kneel down at the door of your steel mill immediately, and I will see if the door of your steel mill can be opened again."

Lou Bancheng was enraged. He knew that if he agreed to her request, the steel mill would be difficult to manage in the future, and other employees would follow suit, leading to endless disputes and conflicts.

But if he refused, if Jia Zhang really knelt down at the gate of the steel mill, it would affect the reputation of the factory and who would be willing to come to work in the future? In addition, if this incident set a precedent, other employees' families would follow suit, and the steel mill would inevitably fall into chaos.

Lou Bancheng realized that this was pressure exerted by Jia Zhangshi, and that she did not really want the fifty dollars, but was mainly trying to secure a job for her son.

At present, working in a steel mill means a stable job, which is not only guaranteed for life, but also provides a considerable pension after retirement. Without this job opportunity, you will have to fend for yourself when you are old and weak.

Nowadays, such job opportunities are extremely valuable. Even those who already have jobs in the steel mill are willing to spend a certain amount of money if they have the opportunity to introduce relatives to work in. Therefore, Jia Zhang's coercion has a reason - she hopes to use this tough method to let Lou Bancheng understand how valuable this job is.

Seeing this, Lou Bancheng calmed down and knew that he had to stick to his principles and not give in. He said to Jia Zhang sternly, "Don't push your luck. Do you think this is your home and you can come in whenever you want?

You have to understand that the steel mill has its own rules and regulations, which cannot be changed at will."

"If you insist on making such a fuss, I can't do anything about it. Just quit your job and then try to sell these jobs."

Jia Zhang was stunned. She had not expected Lou Bancheng to be so determined. She had thought that he would compromise for the sake of the factory's reputation, but she had not expected that he would rather resign than give in.

Jia Zhang was also panicking at this moment. She originally just wanted to force Lou Bancheng to realize the value of these job opportunities, but she never thought that he would be so determined.

This time, Jia Zhang realized that her behavior was a bit excessive, but she was unwilling to put down her pride and apologize to Lou Bancheng. So she said with a specious argument: "Lou Bancheng, don't push me into a corner. Let me make it clear to you, if I don't sell this job, I will go to the gate of your steel mill every day to make trouble, and see what you can do."

Lou Bancheng was so angry that his face turned red. He responded without showing any weakness: "Go ahead and make trouble. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Let me tell you, if you really dare to do this, I'll have your house demolished tomorrow."

Jia Zhang was not to be outdone and immediately retorted: "Go ahead, if you really dare to demolish my house, I will run into a wall and die in front of the gate of your steel mill!"

The two of them were getting more and more angry, and their words were getting more and more heated. Yi Zhonghai, who was watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to mediate and said, "Calm down, both of you. If you have something to talk about, we can talk about it. Why are you so excited?"

Yi Zhonghai knew that these two people were not easy to deal with. If the quarrel continued to escalate, problems would arise sooner or later. In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he had to step forward and act as a peacemaker...

After Yi Zhonghai's earnest persuasion, both parties finally calmed down. The result of the negotiation was: on the surface, Jia Dongxu's job quota was still sold for fifty dollars; at the same time, Lou Bancheng promised that when Jia Dongxu grew up and was willing to work in the steel rolling mill, the factory would give him a chance.

This outcome satisfied Jia Zhang, because not only did she get the money back, but she also secured a stable job for her son in the future. For Lou Bancheng, this compromise not only maintained the image of the steel mill, but also prevented her from causing a bigger incident. It was indeed a win-win situation. However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the one who really benefited from this incident was Jia Zhang, because the money eventually went into her own pocket, and Jia Dongxu was able to secure a stable job at the steel mill, with a worry-free future.
