Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 122 Yi Zhonghai Seeks Help

Upon seeing Yan Jiecheng's expression, Yi Zhonghai immediately intended to turn around and leave, but thinking of the imprisoned Sha Zhu, he could only force a smile and say something again.

"Jiecheng, it's like this, Shazhu had a fight with Damao and Damao has locked him up. Do you think you can help release Shazhu?"

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yi Zhonghai and said irritably.

"Uncle, it's not that I don't want to help, but Sha Zhu was arrested by the patrol team. I don't have the authority to release him. In my opinion, you should go and talk to Xu Damao. With your status in the courtyard, this is a piece of cake."

At this moment, Liu Haizhong, who was standing to the side, stammered.

“Deputy Director Yan, we’ve already gone to see Xu Damao, but this guy is completely ruthless and doesn’t give me or Lao Yi any face at all. You have a lot of influence, so please put in a good word for us.”

Wow, this guy with bangs can even recite the idiom "unrecognizable to one's own family" now. That's really impressive.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Liu Haizhong in surprise and couldn't help but laugh.

"Second Uncle, Xu Damao doesn't even give you two any face, let alone me?"

"How could that be? You are the deputy director of the security department, a much higher position than Xu Damao's captain."

Since he couldn't eat the food anyway, Yan Jiecheng simply put down his chopsticks and started teasing the two old guys.

"Second Uncle, you can't say that. Xu Damao is a big shot in the factory now. Even I have to give him some leeway."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai muttered to himself.

"Give way? Didn't you beat up Xu Damao yesterday?"

Yan Jiecheng was not so polite when speaking to Yi Zhonghai, and immediately said with a cold face.

"Uncle, I did have a conflict with Xu Damao yesterday, but I've already been severely criticized by Director Li."

Yi Zhonghai noticed that Yan Jiecheng treated him differently from Liu Haizhong.

She could only tug at her bangs to signal him to speak.

Liu Haizhong naturally sensed the difference in Yan Jiecheng's attitude towards the two, and immediately puffed out his chest and said.

“Jiecheng, after all, you once lived in a courtyard house and were neighbors. Please help me out and say a word.”

Just as Yan Jiecheng was thinking about how to deal with Liu Haizhong, he happened to see a familiar face from the patrol team not far away, so he quickly waved and called out.

"Xiao Zhang, come here for a second."

Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's greeting, the patrol team member named Xiao Zhang quickly put down his bowl, hurried over to Yan Jiecheng, saluted, and said...

"Chief, what are your instructions?"

This guy used to be a member of the factory protection team. Yan Jiecheng got along quite well with him when they were training together.

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand, signaling the other party to put his hand down, and then said.

"Xiao Zhang, I want to ask you something. Yesterday, your Captain Xu arrested Sha Zhu from the third canteen, right? Tell me the details."

Upon hearing that Yan Jiecheng was asking about this matter, Xiao Zhang did not hesitate and immediately spoke up.

"Director, if you ask me, it's really not unjust for Sha Zhu to be arrested. Yesterday, Captain Xu took a few men to the third canteen for lunch and had a little argument with Sha Zhu."

"The two of them have argued more than once or twice. It's fine to argue, but as Sha Zhu was talking, he turned his anger on the patrol team and cursed everyone in the team."

"The things he said back then were really nasty, which angered the men who were with Captain Xu, so they took action and subdued Sha Zhu."

"So that's how it is," Yan Jiecheng said, pointing to the lunchbox on Xiao Zhang's table not far away. "After learning the whole story, Yan Jiecheng didn't let Xiao Zhang leave. Instead, he pointed to the lunchbox on Xiao Zhang's table not far away."

"Xiao Zhang, I've been watching you eat. Why haven't you touched the meat in your lunchbox? Doesn't it suit your taste?"

Xiao Zhang scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "No, it's just that I thought I'd take the food home so my wife and kids could try it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng pushed his lunchbox in front of Xiao Zhang and said.

"Xiao Zhang, your sister-in-law and I haven't touched this box of vegetables. Take it back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhang quickly waved his hand and said...

"Director, this won't do. This is inappropriate."

Yan Jiecheng said, feigning anger.

"Well, you've only been with the patrol team for a short time, and you're already ignoring me?"

After making the joke, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, it's just a lunchbox, don't refuse. Your sister-in-law and I can't possibly eat all of this. Just take it back, and remember to bring it to me tomorrow."

Xiao Zhang knew Yan Jiecheng's temper, so he didn't refuse anymore and took the lunchbox back to his seat.

After Xiao Zhang left, Yan Jiecheng turned to Liu Haizhong and said.

"Second Uncle, if Sha Zhu only offended Xu Damao, then I can still give it a try."

"But you heard what I just said. Sha Zhu has offended the entire patrol team. So it's not appropriate for me to step in."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong was about to say something more, Yan Jiecheng raised his hand and said something.

"Second Uncle, you don't need to go to all this trouble looking for people. This matter isn't serious at all. At most, he'll just be locked up for a few days to teach Sha Zhu a lesson."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he packed his things, protected Fu Linlin who had already finished eating, and left the cafeteria.

After Yan Jiecheng left, Liu Haizhong complained to Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, in my opinion, we shouldn't get involved in this. We should teach Sha Zhu a lesson. Look at how much trouble Sha Zhu has caused over the years because of his loose tongue."

Yi Zhonghai didn't take Liu Haizhong's complaints to heart.

Now he's thinking, if Yan Jiecheng won't help, who else can he turn to?

……

After Yan Jiecheng helped Fu Linlin out of the cafeteria, Fu Linlin asked in confusion.

"Brother Cheng, I heard you talking to those two old men for so long, why didn't you help them in the end?"

Yan Jiecheng said with a pursed lip.

"Linlin, remember this: there are no good people in my dad's compound. Just stay away from them from now on. By the way, how did your leave request go?"

Speaking of this, Fu Linlin said with a face full of frustration.

"It's quite a coincidence that our section chief has been sent away, and the new section chief hasn't arrived yet. I estimate it will be a while before he arrives."

"Your section chief was sent away? I haven't heard anything about that."

“I didn’t see him yesterday. I heard he was sent to a farm, but I don’t know the specifics.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but frown. Send it to the farm? How could that be?

This propaganda chief is also aligned with Li Huaide, so how could he possibly be sent to the farm?

And how come I didn't hear a word about something this big?
After dropping Fu Linlin off at the broadcasting station, Yan Jiecheng went to Zheng Lei's office in the logistics department with a heavy heart.
