Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 131 Disputes
Faced with Yan Jiecheng's invitation, Nan Yi did not immediately agree, but hesitated before speaking.

"Director Yan, this is a very serious matter. Could you give me some time to consider it?"

"Think about it? Then there's a high chance they won't agree. How can that be?" Yan Jiecheng immediately raised his stakes.

"Does Master Nan have some concerns? Or is he unwilling to be separated from his family?"

“If that’s the case, Master Nan doesn’t need to worry. If Master Nan is willing, not only you, but also your wife can be transferred to the steel rolling mill.”

Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Nan Yi was instantly moved.

He was initially worried that if he were transferred to the main factory, Cui Dake would make things difficult for his wife, Liang Ladi.

Now that the couple has been transferred to the main factory, what else does he have to worry about?

Nan Yi didn't hesitate any longer and immediately agreed.

"Director Yan, my wife and I are willing to work at the steel rolling mill."

"Alright, the transfer documents from the head office will arrive at your branch factory by tomorrow at the latest. Pack your bags early the day after tomorrow, and I will arrange for a driver from the steel rolling mill to pick you up."

……

After settling things off with Nan Yi, Yan Jiecheng called Zheng Lei, the head of the logistics department, and asked him to make arrangements for Nan Yi's upcoming arrival.

Zheng Lei also knew Li Huaide's hobbies. After listening to Yan Jiecheng's request, he immediately patted his chest and guaranteed that he would definitely make proper arrangements for Nan Yi.

After finishing all that, it was time to leave work.

Having promised Liu Haizhong, Yan Jiecheng did not go straight home after get off work, but went directly to the backyard of the courtyard house.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived at the backyard, most of the residents of the courtyard had gathered there, and the old lady's mourning hall had already been set up.

The deaf old lady had no children, only Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu, who were her so-called godson and godson.

Sha Zhu is now locked up by Yan Jiecheng, and only Yi Zhonghai, as a family member, is left at the scene wearing mourning clothes.

Despite his deep dissatisfaction with Yan Jiecheng, Yi Zhonghai still stepped forward to express his gratitude to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng also did his job well, offering a standard expression of condolence to Yi Zhonghai.

After exchanging a few perfunctory words with the residents he knew in the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng prepared to leave.

But then a few residents nearby started arguing, which made Yan Jiecheng stop in his tracks.

After listening for a while, Yan Jiecheng understood the reason for the matter.

It turned out that the reason these people were arguing was because of the deaf old lady's one and a half rooms.

Over the years, Yi Zhonghai and his wife have been responsible for taking care of the deaf old lady's daily life.

Even her funeral arrangements were handled by Yi Zhonghai.

Logically speaking, the deaf old lady's house should undisputedly belong to Yi Zhonghai's family.
However, the housing situation for the residents in the hospital is indeed tight, and money is a powerful motivator.

"The old lady lived in the backyard. Now that she's gone, the house naturally belongs to the backyard. What does it have to do with you in the front and middle yards?"

"You're talking nonsense. We all live in the same compound, why are you starting to distinguish between front and back yards? You're shameless."

……

Yi Zhonghai had not expected that these people, who usually called him "Grandpa, Grandpa," would be so eager to stare at the old lady's house as soon as she left.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was at a loss, a resident shouted at him.

"Sir, can you give me an answer regarding this old lady's house? Who should it belong to?"

Once the first person spoke up, the others followed suit and pointed their guns at Yi Zhonghai. "Yes, sir, you've always taken care of the old lady, and you've always been highly respected in the community. What do you think should be done with the old lady's house?"

"Yes, yes, sir, please tell us, we'll do whatever you say?"

Despite their eloquent words, these people have effectively blocked Yi Zhonghai's path to inheriting the old lady's house.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu, who was not far away, was very anxious. In her opinion, the house in the backyard belonged to her son Banggeng, and she would not allow others to covet it.

In desperation, Qin Huai shouted to the surrounding residents.

“The old lady isn’t alone; she has her godson, Sha Zhu. In my opinion, the house should belong to Sha Zhu.”

When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu speak, he thought for a moment and, feeling that this was the best solution at present, he agreed.

"Everyone, what Huai Ru said is right. Sha Zhu is the old lady's godson, and he is very filial to her. In my opinion, the old lady's house should be inherited by Sha Zhu."

No sooner had Yi Zhonghai finished speaking than a resident made a sarcastic remark.

“Yi Zhonghai, everyone in the courtyard knows you’re in cahoots with the Jia family and Sha Zhu. Your decision doesn’t count. Second Uncle, you’re the head of the backyard, so you should make the decision.”

"That's right, Second Uncle, you should make the decision on this matter."

Good heavens, if things go your way, you're a big shot; if things don't go your way, you're like Yi Zhonghai (a notorious Chinese businessman).

I have to say, there's not a single good person in this courtyard house.

Although Liu Haizhong is a blockhead, his family's housing situation is also very tight.

At the same time, he was also very clear that this matter was very tricky, and if it was not handled properly, he would be disliked by both sides.

Liu Haizhong glanced at Yi Zhonghai, whose face was ashen, hesitated for a moment, and then went to Xu Damao's side and said.

"Director Xu, you are a leader in the factory and a resident of the compound. You are highly respected. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Seeing how Liu Haizhong was styled, Yan Jiecheng, who was watching the scene unfold, was quite surprised.

It's surprising that Liu Haizhong, that blockhead, actually knows how to shift the blame.

If it weren't for Xu Damao's father, Xu Fugui, speaking up, Xu Damao wouldn't have appeared here, and how could he possibly be involved in these messy affairs now?

Xu Damao waved his hand and said modestly.

"Second Uncle, what are you saying? I am a leader in the factory, but now we are in the courtyard, so naturally I listen to the three stewards."

Seeing Xu Damao decline, Liu Haizhong turned his gaze to Yan Jiecheng and said.

"Director Yan, what do you think about this matter..."

Xu Damao was unwilling to get involved, let alone Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand and said.

"Second Uncle, I would like to help, but I'm no longer a member of this household. It's not proper for me to get involved."

Seeing that Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng were unwilling to express their opinions, Liu Haizhong could only helplessly say to everyone.

"Fellow neighbors, I don't have a good idea about this right now. How about we three stewards discuss it and give everyone a satisfactory answer? What do you think?"

The residents looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus and there was no more excitement to be had, Yan Jiecheng left the courtyard with regret.
