Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 254 The Third Uncle's Sky Collapsed (Supplementary Part, Please Subscribe)

"dad!"

"Well, what did Yang Ning say?"

After Liu Guangqi visited Yang Ning, he went to the courtyard because it was Sunday.

Although Liu Guangqi could not tell the second uncle and others what he did specifically in the unit, he still told the second uncle because he was the leader of the Yangning Aviation Research Institute.

Ever since he learned that Yang Ning was the leader of his proudest eldest son, the second uncle has been urging Liu Guangqi to build relationships with Yang Ning so that he can become a leader as soon as possible.

In the words of the second uncle, "I was Yang Ning's second uncle for a few days, so what's wrong with him helping his son?"

"Just mention my name when you go there, it will work! How can Yang Ning not give face to a second uncle like me?"

If Liu Guangqi hadn't tried his best to stop him, the second uncle would have wanted Yang Ning to transfer him to the affiliated factory of the Aerospace Research Institute and then arrange a leadership position for him.

In this way, not only can he realize his dream of becoming a leader, but he can also work in the same unit with his eldest son.

Faced with his father's instigation, Liu Guangqi was speechless. If Yang Ning really cared about the little bit of friendship they had in the past, he would not have been punished before.

Of course, Liu Guangqi did not tell his family about the punishment he received as soon as he joined the unit. After all, he had his dignity to save.

This time he visited home on the pretext of building a relationship with Yang Ning.

Facing his father's question, Liu Guangqi said helplessly: "The things were confiscated, Yang Ning just asked me to work hard in the future!"

As he said this, he took out the gifts he had prepared earlier and showed them to the second uncle and the others, and found that nothing was missing.

Compared with the third uncle, the second uncle is also willing to spend money to ask for help and build relationships.

Just this time when Liu Guangqi went to Yang Ning's house, he brought two bottles of Moutai and two packs of good cigarettes.

Seeing that nothing was missing, the second uncle just glanced at it and stopped paying attention. Instead, he asked anxiously, "Did he say when he could give you a leadership position?"

"Dad, I just graduated less than a year ago. Even if there is a leadership position, it won't be my turn!"

Facing the second uncle's repeated questioning, Liu Guangqi said impatiently.

"Didn't you say that Yang Ning is the most senior leader in your unit? Just like Director Yang of our steel mill, why can't he make any arrangements?"

When the second uncle heard that Yang Ning was unwilling to be a leader with his eldest son, he complained indignantly.

In his heart, Director Yang was already a high-ranking official. If he had been a neighbor of Director Yang for decades, he would probably be a leader of some kind by now.

Well, at least the workshop director has to do the job!
"We've been neighbors for decades. You're so outstanding. What's wrong with you graduating half a year ago?"

"If he was willing to work hard, you would definitely be a leader now!"

"I think he is just a temperamental person...what?"

Originally, the second uncle wanted to show off his cultural level, but he got stuck halfway!
"Dad, I have a cold temper!" Liu Guangtian said proudly on the side.

"Go, get out of the way! It's not your turn to interrupt me when I'm talking to your brother. I know, I just want to test whether your brother has the qualities to be a leader."

The second uncle felt that he had lost face, so he raised his hand and slapped Liu Guangtian in the face.

Faced with the second uncle's rudeness, Liu Guangqi felt annoyed and simply put down the gift in his hand and said sullenly: "I'm going back to work!"

"Alas, kid, you finally come home, eat first before leaving."

When the second aunt saw this, she spoke hurriedly.

"No, I have to go to work tomorrow, go back and rest early!"

Liu Guangqi forced an ugly smile and said to the second aunt, then turned around and disappeared into the night.

"Ugh!"

Seeing her eldest son walk away without looking back, the second aunt sighed in disappointment, and then persuaded the second uncle: "Dad, the eldest son is also the best, so don't force him to be a leader."

"I'm doing this for his own good!" The second uncle glared at his wife and said unhappily.

"The Yang family is really something. Dagen is almost at the same level as me, but now he is the workshop director. Yang Ning is now Guangqi's leader."

"If I don't push them, will the Yang family just have to rely on my Liu family forever?"

"That will have to wait!" The second aunt would be happy to see her eldest son become a leader.

But when she thought of the previous relationship between her family and the Yang family, she felt helpless.

Who could have thought that the Yang family could rise?

Although Second Aunt is a bit obsessed with power, at least she is not as obsessed as Second Uncle and can still distinguish between good and bad.

However, no one in the Second Uncle's family had expected that while they were arguing about the Yang family, there was a sneaky figure outside who heard their conversation clearly.

"Yang Ning~" Yan Jiecheng growled in a low voice with gritted teeth.

"You are such a big leader, but you were unwilling to assign me a job?"

After all, the Yan family is responsible for the security of the entire courtyard gate. After seeing Liu Guangqi leave, Yan Jiecheng came over to eavesdrop because he was curious about his unit.

After all, the Liu family had always been mysterious about Liu Guangqi's workplace.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Yang Ning has become a big leader in Liu Guangqi's unit.

A few years ago, Yang Ning was already a leader, so it was easy to assign him a job.

But no matter how much he and his father begged, Yang Ning refused to agree.

In the end, his family spent a lot of money to buy him a job.

Especially now that Yan Jiecheng was arranged a job right after graduating from junior high school and high school, how could he not feel upset when he was burdened with huge debts?
If Yang Ning had been willing to lend a hand, I wouldn't be in debt right after graduation!
At this moment, he hated Yang Ning's cruelty and ruthlessness, but when he thought that Yang Ning was now the leader of a unit, he gave up the idea of revenge.

"Although I can't retaliate, I can still add to the trouble!"

Yan Jiecheng's eyes rolled and an idea came to his mind.

For the Yan family who are full of calculations, Yan Jiecheng, as the "young leader", naturally also has eight hundred thoughts in his mind.

Yang Ning himself didn't know that even though he had left the courtyard, he still couldn't escape the Yan family's schemes.

So, one Sunday, when Yang Ning went to his parents' house as usual, his mother said anxiously, "Boss, your identity has been exposed!"

"What the hell!?" Yang Ning asked in surprise while hugging her daughter after hearing her mother's words.

"Everyone in the hospital already knew that you were a leader in Liu Guangqi's unit!" the mother said angrily.

"Who leaked it?" After figuring out the whole story, Yang Ning asked solemnly.

This was no small matter. In order to conceal his identity as much as possible, he was still a lecturer at Wudaokou Institute of Technology. Others, except for a few of his closest friends, did not know what he did specifically.

Now someone actually knows that he is the leader of Liu Guangqi's unit and has leaked this information. This is a serious leak.

"What should we do now?"

After hearing what her mother said, Hu Yinghong asked worriedly.

If this news gets known to someone who is interested, it may be difficult to find out what Yang Ning did in the past, but the Aviation Research Institute and the J-8 project are likely to be leaked.

Yang Ning’s first thought was whether it was Liu Guangqi’s family who leaked the information, but then he shook his head.

After all, Liu Guangqi had received confidentiality training, so he did not dare to disclose the affairs of the Aerospace Research Institute.

The top priority is to tell the second uncle that I am now his leader.

But given the temperament of the Second Uncle's family, and since it concerns Liu Guangqi's future, they certainly wouldn't dare to publicize Yang Ning's identity.

This matter came from the Siheyuan. Yang Ning had some guesses at this time. Maybe someone accidentally overheard the discussion at the second uncle's house?
After getting the clue, Yang Ning called the Security Department of the Aerospace Research Institute and told them the news and his speculation.

"Please invite Comrade Liu Guangqi over!" After Director Zhao hung up the phone, the first person he thought of was Liu Guangqi.

There's nothing we can do about it, since the news first spread from the Siheyuan area.

"Director Zhao!"

Liu Guangqi was studying the operating techniques of a CNC machining center in the workshop. When he heard the security department calling him over, his legs started shaking.

After all, I've only been working for half a year, and this is already the second time I've been in jail. No one would be able to stand it if it happened again!
"Comrade Liu Guangqi, there are some things that require your cooperation in investigating."

Director Zhao said seriously.

When Liu Guangqi learned that the news that Yang Ning was his leader had spread in their area, he was so scared that he almost fell to his knees.

Only after receiving confidentiality training did I realize the seriousness of this matter.

As the chief designer of our latest fighter jet, if Yang Ning's identity is discovered by the enemy because of this news, it would not be excessive to shoot him.

"Who else have you revealed Comrade Yang Ning's identity to?"

"No, apart from telling my family that Director Yang is my leader, I didn't say anything else." Liu Guangqi answered honestly. He knew that he could not hide the truth by lying at this moment.

"It's confirmed. If there is any other situation, please explain it immediately. The Bureau of Secrets will be able to find out the gaps and minimize the impact of the incident as soon as possible."

"If it is discovered later that you have concealed something, I think you should be aware of the consequences of this matter."

After hearing Director Zhao's reminder, Liu Guangqi thought for a long time and finally decided that he would only tell his parents that Yang Ning was his leader and not tell anyone else.

"Are you sure it's gone?" Director Zhao asked Liu Guangqi again.

"It's true that there is no more. If there is still, I am willing to accept any punishment." Liu Guangqi nodded affirmatively.

It was discovered that the problem was indeed not with Liu Guangqi, so Director Zhao reported the matter to the Bureau of Confidentiality.

If an organization wants to investigate something and already has a general idea of the scope, it can be easily found out.

So just two days later, Yan Jiecheng was taken away while he was at work.

Not only Yan Jiecheng, but also the information dealer Auntie was taken away from home.

The previous news about Yang Ning was spread by her at the instigation of her son.

Faced with this situation, the third uncle felt as if the sky had fallen. Who could have imagined that his wife and eldest son would be arrested just to make Yang Ning uncomfortable.

At this moment, no matter how many opinions the third uncle had about Yang Ning, he still shamelessly went to Yang Ning's parents for help.

"Da Gen, ask Yang Ning to plead for Jie Cheng and his mother. If Jie Cheng and his mother go to jail because of this incident, our family will really not be able to survive."

Because of his family background, the third uncle had never had the opportunity to be promoted.

If his wife and only adult son were to be locked up again, he would definitely be expelled. Not to mention the other children's future studies and employment, the other three underage children alone would probably starve to death.

Looking at the desperate look on the third uncle's face, the parents looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

When the two of them learned that the news about Yang Ning was spread by Yan Jiecheng and the third aunt, they were anxious and angry at first.

If this news really gets noticed by the enemy, not to mention Yang Ning, the lives of their entire family will be threatened.

But seeing the desperate look on the third uncle's face, they had been neighbors for decades after all, and they didn't want to watch this family starve to death.

"Let the Third Master produce a certificate as soon as possible to sever ties with Yan Jiecheng."

When Yang Ning learned about the situation of his third uncle from his parents, he said helplessly.

He could only help up to this point in this matter. The matter of the third aunt could be a big deal or a small one. At the most serious level, it was a serious leak of secrets, and she might get into trouble. At the most minor level, it was just an ordinary gossip by a gossiper, and she could be locked up for a few days and educated.

But Yan Jiecheng's words were purely revengeful. Forget about asking Yang Ning to plead for him. It would be good enough if he didn't add insult to injury.

In other words, Yang Ning saw that the Third Uncle in the original novel still had some bottom line, and their family was not very courageous. The more cunning they were, the more concerns they had. He expected that other people in their family would not take revenge on Yang Ning for Yan Jiecheng, so he was willing to lend a hand.

I'm afraid that not only will they not retaliate, but the two brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, who are also good at calculating, may even be secretly happy: now they can get a bigger share when the family property is divided.

"Why is it so? Why is it so?" After learning Yang Ning's reply, the third uncle couldn't help but lament while feeling relieved.

Who would have thought that just spreading some gossip about Yang Ning would lead to such a serious situation.

He made up his mind that from now on, he would definitely keep other family members away from the Yang family.

The follow-up of the incident was that Liu Guangqi and the second uncle were given warnings, and the second aunt and other people who spread the news were criticized and educated by the street office and the police station.

As for Yan Jiecheng, he was sentenced to fifteen years under other names, and three months' detention for treason.

When the results came out, the news about Yang Ning suddenly became clear.

"My goodness, what on earth does Brother Ning do? He dealt with so many people just for spreading his gossip."

Xu Damao asked in surprise, holding his one-year-old son.

"Shut up, do you want to go in and accompany Yan Jiecheng?" He Yuzhu said with his eyes not eyes and nose not nose.

There's nothing he can do about it, since his wife has given birth to two girls in a row. So Xu Damao's news is the first to come true.

Looking at the child in Xu Damao's arms, He Yuzhu felt that this kid was more hateful than his father Xu Damao.

Who made this kid like to pester his little girl to play? It would be strange if He Yuzhu liked this kid.

"Okay, get out of here if you have nothing to do. I still have to go prepare a banquet for them!" He Yuzhu waved his hand in annoyance, pulled Xu Damao aside, picked up his weapons and strode towards the door.
