In a bungalow area on the outskirts of Hongshan City, Shao Qi was squatting in front of his house, sawing a wooden strip with a hand-made saw, and there were some sawed and planed timber beside him.

A woman of the same age as Shao Qi stood beside her, drying her laundry and nagging to Shao Qi in a low voice: "Shao Qi, why do you say you are suffering? You have never fought with anyone, how can you be a foreigner when you beat them, and you beat them so fiercely." Fortunately, although the detention has not been carried out, the director level who finally managed to survive is gone, and he has to start from scratch. Don't look at Mr. Tian and Mr. Guo, they are saying it nicely now, who knows what will happen in the future? Besides, now that Mr. Tian is here, they know that you have been wronged, what if you change the leader in the future, and people pull your pigtails and refuse to promote you?"

The woman is Shao Qi's wife, named Su Yuan, who also works for the Hong Kong Construction Group and is a cashier in an engineering team. Shao Qi beat people, she still heard other people talk about it, and she was scared enough at that time. Shao Qi comforted her again and again, saying that he had no choice but to beat foreign guests, and because he hit foreign guests, other employees who sent Woheng would obediently hand over the work, he actually made contributions to the group, and it was impossible for the group leaders not to take this into account.

Later developments only partially confirmed Shao Qi's words. The leader did not seem to have the intention of holding Shao Qi responsible, and Mr. Feng, who came from the capital, even asked Shao Qi to be in charge of handing over the technology of Paiwoheng. The police station made a decision to detain Shao Qi for five days because of the beating, but in fact it was not implemented, and only made Shao Qi go to the police station for a symbolic few hours when the officials of the German embassy came to Hongshan.

However, once the punishment of detention was made, the group had to take action. Shao Qi was removed from his post as head of the planning department, and although the leaders of the group repeatedly said that this was only a temporary measure and that he would be reinstated soon, who would dare to believe such a thing? A person who had been detained was a very big stain, and with such a stain, he still wanted to be reactivated, and he still had to serve as a department-level cadre, and even a person like Su Yuan, who did not have much political experience, felt that it was impossible.

Without his position, Shao Qi's years of struggle have been cleared, and his future development will be greatly restricted. The group is building a staff dormitory, according to Shao Qi's original director-level position, he can enjoy the treatment of three bedrooms and two living rooms, and now that his position has been revoked, will the group give him such a big house?

All life has changed, how could Su Yuan not be full of complaints. On the one hand, she complained that the group was too unkind, it was clear that Shao Qi had made contributions to the group, and the group couldn't open the net, on the other hand, she complained that Shao Qi was too impulsive and too sincere, and the people who sent Woheng could leave if they wanted to, they wanted to burn the information, what do you have to do with it, why do you need to do it to others?

"Okay, okay, you've been nagging all day. It's come to this, what's the use of you talking about this?" Shao Qi couldn't help it, raised his head and protested to his wife. What Su Yuan said, in fact, Shao Qi himself had thought about it, how could he not have some resentment in his heart? But he really didn't know who to blame, the group has the rules and regulations of the group, and the rules still have to be talked about in the system, and the leaders have no choice. The beating was not instructed by the leader, he hit someone, was punished, and was dismissed, all of which were to blame, so who can blame?

"But ......"

Su Yuan was about to say something more, when he suddenly heard a question from the side:

"Xiao Shao, what about making furniture?"

The little couple turned their heads at the same time and saw that two people had already walked in front of them. Su Yuan didn't know these two, but Shao Qi did, one of them was Feng Xiaochen, the general manager of the Equipment Industry Company, and the other was Chen Xuan, a returnee from the United States. Speaking of which, Shao Qi and Chen Qi are more familiar, these days, Chen Qi also went with him to do the handover with the employees of Paiwohen, Shao Qi has accompanied him a few times, and he has also chatted about some family affairs in his spare time, which is considered to be a personal relationship, and Chen Qi's technical skills have also left a deep impression on Shao Qi.

"Mr. Feng, Dr. Chen, why are you here......?" Shao Qi got up to greet him, looked at the sawdust in his hand, and was embarrassed to reach out to shake hands with the other party, but asked the other party suspiciously. In Shao Qi's mind, maybe the two of them came here to find someone else, and they just happened to walk in front of his house.

"Xiao Shao, Dr. Chen and I are here to see you. Feng Xiaochen said with a smile.

"Come and see me? Oh, then please take a seat. My room is small, so let's sit outside. ”

Shao Qi was surprised, he hurriedly asked Su Yuan to move the chair for the two guests to sit on, and by the way, he brought some tea, melons and fruits to entertain the guests. He also briefly introduced the identities of these two people to Su Yuan, Su Yuan didn't know Chen Yuqi, but he knew Feng Xiaochen, and he heard that it was Mr. Feng, who came from a big place, and he panicked for a while, and when he poured the tea, he knocked over the hot water bottle.

"Xiao Shao, this time we were able to take over the project completely from Pai Woheng, you are the first to take over. After Feng Xiaochen sat down, he said to Shao Qi straight to the point.

"Mr. Feng has won the award, I haven't actually done anything, and I have added so much trouble to the organization. Shao Qi said politely.

Feng Xiaochen said: "What you have done cannot be regarded as trouble. If it weren't for you, these Germans probably wouldn't have handed over their skills so easily. ”

"Really?" replied Shao Qi perfunctorily. Feng Xiaochen and Tian Yaorui had said this to him before, and he still had some expectations that the leaders would give him some special care at this point, but now it seems that it has come to naught, and he is inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, and he seems a little lazy in answering Feng Xiaochen's words.

Feng Xiaochen knew his thoughts, changed his sincere expression and said: "Xiao Shao, the state has national law, the matter of your beating is objective, it is impossible for the police station not to deal with it, if there is no handling opinion, I am afraid that the foreign side will not give up." As for the dismissal of your position, it is stipulated in the rules and regulations of the group, and if you can change the requirements of the rules and regulations because of your correct motives, someone will take advantage of this loophole in the future, which is also detrimental to the management of the group. You should be able to understand these aspects, right?"

Shao Qi nodded and remained silent. Feng Xiaochen is talking about the truth, what can Shao Qi say.

Su Yuan had already poured tea for the guests at this time, and he also moved a stool to sit next to him. Hearing Feng Xiaochen's words, she said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Feng, we all understand what you said. But after all, Xiao Shao made a mistake by doing things for the group, and his position was revoked, so we won't say anything, can't he keep the treatment he should enjoy?"

"What kind of treatment?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"House. Su Yuan said, "The group originally promised to give our family a three-bedroom and two-hall house, which was allocated according to the department-level treatment. Now that his position has been removed, will the house be returned?"

Feng Xiaochen hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiao Su, I don't know much about what you said. Whether the group gives or not, I think it's possible. ”

Su Yuan said: "I asked the administrative office, and the administrative office said that it could not be given according to the regulations. ”

"Is that so?" Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and asked Su Yuan: "Xiao Su, as far as I know, the house built by the group is on the port area, and the location is not very good. There are now commercial houses for sale in Hongshan City, which is 700 yuan per square meter. You also have to pay for the houses allocated by the group, so why don't you add a little money to buy commercial houses in the city?"

"It's too expensive!" Su Yuan sighed, "The group's house is more than 80 square meters, as long as you pay more than 20,000 yuan, if you buy a house in the city, the same area will cost almost 60,000 yuan, how can we have so much money?"

Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "Coincidentally, I sent money to Xiao Shao today." Because Xiao Shao's matter is more sensitive, it is inconvenient for the Hong Kong Construction Group to send funds to Xiao Shao, so Mr. Tian entrusted our Equipment Industry Group to give Xiao Shao a one-time bonus of 40,000 yuan. Xiao Su, do you think that with this 40,000 yuan, is it enough for you to buy a house in the city?"

As he spoke, Feng Xiaochen opened his handbag, took out four stacks of banknotes from it, and put them in front of Shao Qi and Su Yuan.

"Bonus?" Shao Qi's eyes straightened.

"These ...... All this money is for us Xiao Shao?" Su Yuan was also dumbfounded. As a cashier, of course, she has not seen so much money, but so much money belongs to her at once, which is something she never dreamed of. At this moment, she had a feeling that Shao Qi's unwarranted disaster was worth it.

"Xiao Shao, the country will not forget the contribution you have made to the country, and the country will not treat anyone who has made contributions. However, don't talk about this bonus, after all, it also involves foreign affairs, and if it is spread out, the impact will be very bad. Feng Xiaochen admonished.

"We know, we know, we won't say it. The smile on Su Yuan's face was almost uncontrollable, and he hurriedly agreed.

"Thank you organization, thank you Mr. Tian and Mr. Feng. Shao Qi could only respond in this way, and the dissatisfaction in his heart about being detained and revoked disappeared in an instant. A one-time bonus of 40,000 yuan is unprecedented in the entire Hong Kong Construction Group. It's not that he can make up for his loss by getting this money, but he feels that this is the biggest compensation that the organization can make, after all, he is also at fault first, and even if the organization doesn't do anything to him, he has nothing to say.

Feng Xiaochen looked at the excited and satisfied expressions of the little couple, and secretly sighed in his heart. In fact, what kind of bonus is 40,000 yuan from an equipment company, even if Feng Xiaochen is the general manager of the company, he has no right to give such a high bonus to an employee of a foreign unit who beat up a foreign guest. This money was actually taken out by Feng Xiaochen himself, and he had promised Wang Genji that he would not let the hero shed blood and tears, but in fact, the constraints of various systems made it impossible for him to give Shao Qi any compensation. In the end, he had to do it out of his own pocket, and he was supposed to do this kind of thing in front of an invisible billionaire.
