Chapter 291 The Dejected Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai
After making several consecutive phone calls, Director Yang frowned and tapped the pen in his hand unconsciously on the table, as if looking for the next solution strategy.
He had just given the urgent orders one by one, and he still felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, Qin Huairu had sent Xiao Wang a message saying that Xu Damao had accepted the snacks she brought, which meant that the other party might be trying to show goodwill and surrender on his own initiative.
This news was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, relaxing Director Yang's already tense nerves. He quickly adjusted his sitting position, trying to calm the waves in his heart.
However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door. The rhythmic knocking sound seemed to hit his heart directly, making him nervous involuntarily.
Director Yang took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then shouted loudly: "Come in!" Although he tried to keep his voice calm, the nervousness in it was difficult to conceal.
The door slowly opened, and Yi Zhonghai walked in aggressively, followed by the deaf old lady. The two originally thought they could find some support or solutions here, but when they met Director Yang's majestic eyes, their momentum was immediately deflated.
Yi Zhonghai's originally determined eyes began to wander, while the deaf old lady looked confused, as if she didn't understand why the atmosphere before her was so tense.
"Why are you here?" Director Yang looked at the two of them, his tone was obviously unhappy. He didn't care why they came, and the anxiety in his heart at the moment made him have no time to care about anything else.
He frowned and looked at the two of them with displeasure, as if waiting for their explanation or apology.
Yi Zhonghai stood aside, trying to shrink his body into the corner, as if he wanted to blend into the shadow of the wall and reduce his presence. His eyes dodged, and he would secretly glance at Director Yang from time to time to observe his reaction.
The deaf old lady stood out more. She originally hoped that Yi Zhonghai would speak first, and then she would say a few words following his lead, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Yi Zhonghai.
As time went by, Director Yang's face became worse and worse, his brows were furrowed, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the arrival of the two people. Seeing this, the deaf old lady knew that she could not wait any longer, so she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to turn to Director Yang.
"Director Yang, do you remember what you promised me last time?" The deaf old lady's voice was a little trembling, but her eyes were very firm. She looked directly at Director Yang, hoping to get a clear answer from him.
Director Yang glanced at the deaf old lady and felt a little confused. He thought that the deaf old lady didn't know the specific situation, so he softened his tone and replied:
"It's already been done. He Yuzhu's punishment has been issued. It's posted on the bulletin board. You can go and take a look."
However, the deaf old lady felt disappointed after hearing this answer. She knew that this was not what she meant by asking. She came to see Director Yang because she knew about the punishment.
She looked at Director Yang, feeling somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that he was deliberately playing dumb. So, she spoke again: "Director Yang, I'm not talking about the punishment of He Yuzhu, I want to ask..."
Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Director Yang: "I know what you want to ask, but I'm very busy now and don't have time to chat with you. If you don't have anything else, please go back first."
The deaf old lady was choked by Director Yang's words and her face turned pale. She pointed her trembling finger at Director Yang, her tone full of anger and disappointment:
"Director Yang, are you bullying me, an old lady, because no one cares about me? Are you fooling yourself or me?"
When Director Yang heard this, his brows knitted tightly together, and a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, looked directly at the deaf old lady, and said in a serious and firm tone:
"Old lady, you're going too far. I gave you some face because you helped me before, but once the favor is paid off, we're even. If you continue to be unreasonable, don't blame me for being rude."
The deaf old lady was so angry at what Director Yang said that she was gasping for breath. She widened her eyes and stared at Director Yang, as if she wanted to see something from his face.
Her voice trembled even more. "You, what are you talking about! I used my favor to get you to demote He Yuzhu by one level, but what happened? His salary didn't change at all! You still have the nerve to say I'm being excessive?"
At this point, the deaf old lady's breathing became heavier, as if she had used up all her strength. She glared at Director Yang fiercely and continued:
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, then what I said before doesn't count! Don't think that I'm easy to bully just because I'm an old lady. I'm not that easy to talk to!"
When Director Yang saw the excitement of the deaf old lady, his expression changed slightly at first, but he quickly regained his composure.
He slightly turned his head to avoid the aggressive gaze of the deaf old lady, then slowly turned around and gave her a meaningful smile. There seemed to be some disdain and contempt hidden in that smile.
"Whatever you want." Director Yang said calmly, with a tone of indifference, "If there is nothing else, then go away."
The deaf old lady was caught off guard by Director Yang's sudden change of attitude. She widened her eyes, pointed at Director Yang, and kept saying "you..." She wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.
Director Yang looked at the deaf old lady who was so angry that he just glanced at her indifferently, then lowered his head and continued to deal with the documents at hand.
He seemed to not take the deaf old lady seriously at all, and just said calmly: "Don't faint, you can rely on me when the time comes."
The deaf old lady had originally wanted to pretend to faint to intimidate Director Yang, but she didn't expect that Director Yang would see through her thoughts at a glance.
She felt a little embarrassed and helpless. She knew that the previous debt of favor had no effect on Director Yang. As long as Director Yang did not acknowledge it, it would be nothing.
In desperation, the deaf old lady could only say to Yi Zhonghai: "Let's go." Her voice was full of reluctance and loss. Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai hurried forward to support her, and the two of them left Director Yang's office in disgrace.
On the way out, the deaf old lady turned around and glared at Director Yang fiercely, but Director Yang seemed not to notice and continued to deal with the documents in his hands. There was no expression on his face, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.
