Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 138 Comfort
Not long after, Yan Jie arrived at Li Huaide's office.

Upon seeing Yan Jiecheng, Li Huaide slammed his hand on the desk and roared.

"Yan Jiecheng, why aren't you going to complete the formalities? Do you think you're all grown up now and don't care about the factory's rules and regulations? Or do you not respect me, the director?"

Faced with Li Huaide's questioning, Yan Jiecheng remained calm and waited for Li Huaide to finish speaking before speaking slowly and deliberately.

"Director, you're joking. I will obey your orders or the factory's decisions one hundred percent. As for the procedures for further training, I went to the personnel department early this morning to handle them. It's just that Section Chief Li felt your order was inappropriate and refused to process them for us."

"You're talking nonsense... Director Yan, you're just spouting lies... slander... You're slandering... Director Li, he's slandering me..."

Seeing Li Bing's exasperated state, Li Huaide felt that things were probably not as Li Bing described, and there must be another hidden story.

Having made his own guess, Li Huaide's anger subsided considerably, and his tone of voice became much gentler.

"Alright, Li Bing, don't rush to explain. Jie Cheng, tell me what happened first?"

Then Yan Jiecheng explained the whole story, and at the end, he didn't forget to say something.

"Director, Section Chief Li is one of your most trusted confidants. We thought it was your doing to delay processing our paperwork, but it turns out we misunderstood."

Li Huaide glanced at Li Bing, and seeing that he did not refute, he knew that Yan Jiecheng was telling the truth, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After giving Li Bing a disgusted look, he then tried to comfort Yan Jiecheng.

"Jiecheng, I have high hopes for you. Sending you for further studies is for your future. Don't overthink it. As for Li Bing, don't worry, I will teach him a lesson."

Yan Jiecheng didn't believe Li Huaide's attempts to reassure him at all.

However, besides himself, there were also Zheng Lei and his group. Yan Jiecheng believed that these people would not go for further studies willingly, and would definitely use this as an excuse to cause trouble.

Why should I continue doing this job that offends people?

Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng immediately smiled and said.

"Director, please rest assured, I have no interest in pursuing further studies, and I will fully support your decision."

After saying that, Yan Jiecheng looked at Li Bing and said...

"Section Chief Li, since it's a misunderstanding, we'll have to trouble you with the procedures. Hopefully, it won't interfere with your work."

Upon hearing this, Li Bing quickly forced a smile and said with an embarrassed expression.

"No...no, I will personally deliver the relevant documents to Director Yan's office when the time comes."

Seeing Li Bing's comical appearance, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but laugh.

After suppressing his laughter, Yan Jiecheng bid farewell to Li Huaide.

After Yan Jiecheng left, Li Huaide felt that something was off, but he just couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Li Bing, who was standing to the side, looked at Li Huaide and said cautiously.

"Director, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to work now?"

Upon hearing Li Bing's words, Li Huaide became furious and cursed back.

"You little brat, you're not very capable, but you're good at causing trouble. If you weren't my nephew, I would have shot you dead. Now get out of here."

Only after Li Huaide was left in the office did he remember.

No wonder I felt something was off earlier; it was Yan Jiecheng's way of addressing me. He used to call me "leader, old leader," but just now he kept calling me "director."

It seems this guy still harbors resentment about being sent for further studies.

Not long after Yan Jiecheng returned to the security department, Li Bing came to his office with a stack of documents.

Upon entering the office, Li Bing greeted everyone with a broad smile.

"Director Yan, are you busy? If not, could you please sign these documents?"

Seeing Li Bing's slightly humble expression, Yan Jiecheng felt very comfortable and didn't make things difficult for him. He nodded and said calmly.

"Bring it here."

Li Bing quickly opened the document in his hand, handed it over, and said...

"Director Yan, these are the handover documents... This is the approval form for further training... This is the factory's letter of introduction and the train ticket, please keep them safe..."

After all the formalities were completed, Li Bing smiled and said goodbye before taking his leave.

Although Yan Jiecheng was appeased, the others continued to delay and were unwilling to go to the personnel department to complete the procedures.

Even when Li Bing personally delivered the relevant documents to these people's offices, they all found excuses to delay.

In the end, Li Bing had no choice but to report the matter to Li Huaide again.

After learning about this, Li Huaide was furious at his nephew's incompetence, but in the end he had no choice but to step in and resolve the matter himself.

However, Zheng Lei and his ilk were originally unwilling to give up their positions of real power to pursue further education. It was only because Li Huaide was a higher-ranking official that they had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Now that they have an excuse, how could these people let it go so easily?
When Li Huaide saw that these people dared to make excuses to refuse when he personally called them, he knew that he would not be able to use force at this time, so he had to change his strategy and play the emotional card.

That evening, Li Huaide set up a table in the small canteen and invited Yan Jiecheng, Zheng Lei, Chen Liang, and others who needed further training.

At the dinner table, Li Huaide first reminisced about the past, talking at length about his feelings for everyone present.

Next, they suggested that everyone go on to further their studies, just so that everyone could advance further in the future.

Listening to Li Huaide's vivid and emotional words, an uninformed person might actually believe it.

Who among us isn't a shrewd person? How could they possibly believe Li Huaide's words?
But what can they do if they don't believe it? The reason they dare to make excuses now is because Yan Jiecheng and Zheng Lei are leading the way.

Secondly, they wanted to make Li Huaide consider the potential impact, hesitate to act, and ultimately cause the further studies to fall through.

Judging from Li Huaide's current demeanor, although he is speaking softly, he has no intention of letting the matter drop.

This left everyone feeling extremely disappointed, and they dared not refuse any longer.

After all, they knew Li Huaide's character very well. It was better to leave politely than to be forcibly driven away later.

Everyone present then said that it was all a misunderstanding and that they would definitely cooperate with the personnel department to complete the relevant procedures.

Seeing that everyone was so sensible, Li Huaide finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Most of the people present were his old subordinates, and he didn't want to break ties with them until the very end; it would be best to remain amicable.
