Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

No sleep for one night.

The next day.

Early in the morning, Xu Damao pushed his wheelchair to Li Xiangdong's door.

He asked Li Xiangdong to go out and find him a driver to see if he could get him to the film studio.

Of course, it wasn't free; I had to pay a dollar.

Li Xiangdong randomly picked a lazy, idle person at the entrance and gave him a dollar.

The man readily agreed, pushed Xu Damao to the film studio, and then turned and left.

He only accepted the money for bringing Xu Damao over and was done with delivering him to his destination.

Xu Damao slowly pushed his wheelchair into the film studio, and the young employees saw Xu Damao's miserable state.

They rushed over to help Xu Damao push his wheelchair.

"Brother Xu, how did you get into this mess? The factory only mentioned the punishment for you, but didn't say anything about your current situation. I have some money here, take it and use it to tide you over. My salary isn't much, so don't complain."

The younger employees also had some goodwill towards Xu Damao, and seeing his miserable state, they couldn't help but lend a helping hand.

"I won't accept this money. I appreciate your kind gesture, but I'm not starving. Could you please take me to the factory manager's office? I have something to discuss with him."

Xu Damao said with a smile.

Seeing this, the young employees put the money back in their pockets and pushed Xu Damao to the door of the factory manager's office.

He knocked on the door, opened it, pushed Xu Damao inside, and then turned and left.

“Xu Damao, didn’t I give you a holiday? Why did you come to the factory? There’s really nothing I can do about the punishments at the factory. Even if you come to me, I can’t help you. I haven’t even mentioned the money I paid for your medical expenses back then. You should go back and rest first.”

The factory manager looked helpless when he saw that the person who came in was Xu Damao.

"Factory manager, I didn't come here today to talk about this. The old projector is broken. Can I take a look? What happened that night is probably not as simple as you think."

Xu Damao said sincerely.

"That's no problem. The machine is in the warehouse in the back. I'll go get it for you. You stay in the office and don't wander around."

After the factory manager finished speaking, he hurriedly went to the back warehouse and brought over the broken projector.

"This is the projector you brought with you when you went to the movie screening the other day. It has a serial number on it, so I didn't take the wrong one. Can you take a look and see if there's a problem?"

The factory manager placed the projector in front of Xu Damao.

Xu Damao carefully examined the projector and noticed that it had uneven surfaces. He touched them with his hand.

"Factory manager, do you think if I fell off my bicycle and the projector fell to the ground, it would produce this kind of image? I fell in a field, where there aren't that many stones."

Xu Damao quickly replied.

As we all know, the most important thing when farming is to remove all the stones in order to cultivate the land more effectively.

If he had fallen into a field, he probably wouldn't have been injured like this by hitting a rock.

After all, even in winter, the fields don't freeze that hard.

The factory manager also quickly looked at the projector and realized that what Xu Damao said seemed to make some sense.

The projector didn't seem to have been broken by falling; rather, it looked like someone had deliberately sabotaged it by throwing stones at it.

During the initial investigation, since we already knew what had happened from the village chief, we didn't continue the investigation.

Such an important clue was simply overlooked by everyone.

"You know what, now that you mention it, it does seem to make sense. How come we didn't think of all those stones in the field? A projector couldn't possibly be damaged like that by falling. It's really a bit strange."

The factory manager slapped his forehead and said.

Just looking at this projector seems to change the situation.

Chapter 154 Re-examination

"Factory manager, I don't need the factory to do anything more for me. I know I bear some responsibility for this matter. I just hope that the inspection team and the factory can jointly review this matter."

"No matter what the final outcome is, I hope to get to the bottom of this and find out the truth. Even if it's all my responsibility, I'll accept it. Is that alright with you?"

Xu Damao said with utmost sincerity.

"Alright! Your current condition isn't suitable for you to stay at the factory. You should go back and recover first. I will definitely report this matter to the higher-ups in detail, and I will also go to the inspection team to confirm it repeatedly."

"I will let you know as soon as I have any news about this."

The factory manager readily agreed.

Hearing the factory manager's agreement, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief.

I have no one to rely on now. If the factory decides not to investigate this matter, I will have to find another way out.

He went to explain the situation to the inspection team all by himself.

Whether others pay attention to you or not is one thing, whether this matter can be investigated more thoroughly is another matter entirely.

If the factory assists in the investigation, then things will be different.

At the very least, this matter will be taken seriously.

Xu Damao nodded and struggled to push his wheelchair out of the office.

Fortunately, the young employees in the factory were loyal and skipped a shift to take Xu Damao home safely.

……

Film studio.

"Sir, that's roughly what happened. There are a lot of suspicious points about this projector. Regardless of the reason, I hope to work with the inspectors to investigate this matter."

"Xu Damao is now a disabled person. If we don't give him an explanation, I'm really afraid that something bad will happen to our film studio."

Regardless of which side the factory manager is on, he feels that this matter needs to be investigated.

At the very least, Xu Damao deserves a final explanation.

Moreover, there are just too many suspicious points about this projector, so it's worth it even if it costs some manpower and resources.

“I’ll show you a letter of introduction. Take it to the inspection team and talk to them. Tell them to investigate this matter again. Xu Damao’s situation is indeed not optimistic, and we need to give him a satisfactory answer.”

After careful consideration, the leader made the decision.

The main concern was that Xu Damao might have a moment of despair and commit suicide at the film studio.

Those people must bear some responsibility for sitting in that position.

Nobody wants anything to happen to the people below (cgcb) and get implicated.

Furthermore, the factory manager's arguments were indeed reasonable and well-founded, so they readily agreed.

The factory manager, holding the letter of introduction presented by the leader, quickly arrived at the inspection team.

They also made sure to bring the damaged projector, explained the situation to the inspectors, and showed them a letter of introduction.

The inspectors also got to work seriously, finding technicians to conduct the first inspection of the projector.

However, the results of this assessment were completely contrary to their previous assumptions.

The inspection team originally thought they had already found out the whole story in the village.

Unexpectedly, the projector was actually damaged by a rock.

Damaging by smashing and damaging by crashing are two different things.

If it's just damaged in the crash, then it's definitely Xu Damao's own responsibility.

Based on current technical analysis, it has been concluded that the projector was deliberately struck with a stone, resulting in serious damage.

"It seems our inspection team hasn't investigated this matter thoroughly. How about this, give us five days, and we'll send people to conduct further investigations to see if we can uncover any more clues."

The inspection team leader said apologetically.

"Then I'll trouble you. I'll go and talk to my injured employee about this. He might have more clues, which will make it easier for you to find out the truth."

After the factory manager finished speaking, he left the inspection team and hurried to Xu Damao's house.

This news came as a complete shock.

This made the whole situation even more confusing.

Originally, it was determined that Xu Damao caused the tragedy due to his personal reasons.

In retrospect, Xu Damao may bear some responsibility, but it was not intentional.

It is highly likely that someone is plotting against Xu Damao behind his back, so the factory manager came to Xu Damao's house.

He relayed the information from the inspection team exactly as it was reported.

Xu Damao's eyes gradually regained their light, no longer appearing as dazed and confused as before.

Xu Damao excitedly grabbed the factory director's hand.

"Factory manager, I do have suspects. Now that the inspection team is willing to continue investigating the truth, I will share some clues to help them conduct a better investigation and clear my name."

Xu Damao said excitedly.

"Tell me everything that's wrong, and I'll pass it all on to the inspection team. I'll let you know as soon as there's any new progress. You must stay home and take good care of your injury, and don't run around anymore."

The factory manager quickly replied.
