Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 6 Becoming a regular employee
Yan Jiecheng thought about it for a while and felt that the value of both sides was about the same, so he agreed to the exchange.

After the exchange, Yan Jiecheng picked up his things and left.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he was seen by the two brothers Jiefang and Jiekuang who were playing at the entrance of the alley. They quickly went to greet their eldest brother.

"Brother, let me help you get it."

"Brother, how did you catch so many fish?

More than Dad ever caught.”

"That's right, big brother, can we have fish tonight? Our family hasn't had fish for a long time."

Seeing that the two brothers were so kind, Yan Jiecheng naturally satisfied them and handed the things in his hand to them and said.

"Don't worry, Big Brother will definitely let you eat fish tonight."

As soon as the three of them returned home, Jiefang shouted excitedly into the house.

"Dad, Mom, come quickly, my brother has caught a lot of fish."

When Yan's father and mother saw the fish in the bucket, they were stunned.

"Jie Cheng, did you catch all this?"

"Mom, look at what you said. If the biggest one hadn't been replaced, there would be even more."

At this time, Jiefang on the side quickly spoke.

"Mom, my brother promised to eat fish tonight. Can you make some braised fish? We haven't had fish in a long time."

Mother Yan was somewhat interested when she heard this, and then Yan Fugui spoke up.

"What are you eating? This fish is already this big. It would be a shame to eat it all. I'll take it to someone else to trade for some food to supplement the family income. I'll eat it next time I catch a smaller one."

"what……"

Hearing the two brothers' wailing, Yan Jiecheng quickly spoke.

"Dad, we haven't had meat in a long time. How about we keep one for ourselves and you can trade the rest? What do you think?"

After all, these fish were caught by Yan Jiecheng, and Yan's father couldn't refute it. He could only nod and agree reluctantly.

Yan Jiecheng didn't have to worry about the rest of the things. After putting the things away, Yan Jiecheng went back to the living room to play with Jie Di.

From autumn to winter, during these three months, Yan Jiecheng lived a monotonous life.

Apart from fishing to improve my life during my rest time, the rest of my life is just going to and from get off work every day.

I thought this kind of life would last for a long time, but as soon as Yan Jiecheng arrived at the cafeteria that day, he was pulled aside by Shao Weiming.

Shao Weiming said with a mysterious look on his face.

"Jie Cheng, I have good news for you."

"Oh, Brother Ming, what's the good news?"

"Your chance has come."

"Brother Ming, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."

"Hey, we both became regular employees ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing the news, Yan Jiecheng exclaimed that it was impossible.

Although it is easier for temporary workers in the cafeteria to become regular workers than workers in the workshop, I have only been in the factory for a short time, so how can it be that easy to become a regular worker?

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng didn't believe it, Shao Weiming continued.

"Really? Not only will I be offered a permanent position, but I heard that Master Liu is also planning to take me in as his apprentice." Now Yan Jiecheng no longer believed Shao Weiming's gossip.

Master Liu Haining is almost fifty years old now. How could he still accept apprentices?

"Hey, you don't know this, right? Yesterday, when we were on break, Master Liu took Zhang Jun and Wang Jianpeng out to prepare a birthday banquet for someone. Zhang Jun was dishonest and ended up being discovered by the host."

There is an old saying that goes, "If the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested." It's perfectly normal for the cook to find some leftovers in the kitchen and take them home.

Even if they are discovered, most of the hosts will not say anything, after all, it is the same no matter who it is.

"Zhang Jun wasn't just taking leftovers this time. When he was caught, both lunch boxes were filled to the brim, at least three pounds of pork."

"real or fake?"

It’s no wonder Yan Jiecheng was so surprised. If this was true, Zhang Jun would be in big trouble.

Although pork is not expensive, only 80 cents per pound, money alone is not enough to buy pork, you also need meat tickets.

There is a fixed amount of meat coupons every month. Generally, a single-income family can only get two taels of meat coupons per month.

It can be said that the value of pork cannot be measured solely by money.

"Brother Ming, how did you know?"

"It's a coincidence that Master Liu's family lives not far from my home. When I heard about this, I rushed over to inquire about it. You don't know that at that time, the family belittled Master Liu and made him worthless. Master Liu was in the wrong, so he could only let them abuse him."

People of the older generation like them who work hard care about their reputation the most. After something like this happened, Liu Haining would definitely not recognize Zhang Jun as his apprentice anymore.

But Wang Jianpeng has nothing to do with this matter. With Wang Jianpeng around, there is no need for Liu Haining to accept any more disciples.

When Yan Jiecheng expressed his doubts, Shao Weiming said mysteriously.

"Jie Cheng, you know Zhang Jun too. Do you think he's a fool? How could he be discovered so easily? I heard someone say that Zhang Jun was discovered because he was tripped by Wang Jianpeng."

So that's how it is. But Liu Haining, how could he not know that so much pork was missing? Or was this Liu Haining's idea?
If it was really Liu Haining's idea, then it means that Liu Haining's character is not good, and it may not be a good thing for me to take him as my teacher.

Perhaps seeing what he was thinking, Shao Weiming on the side continued.

"Master Liu is a kind man. He took the responsibility and made compensation. Otherwise, Zhang Jun would have had to spend some time in jail."

Shao Weiming's information was very accurate. After a while, Liu Haining was seen with a gloomy face while working.

Zhang Jun and Wang Jianpeng also looked unnatural.

After finishing his work at noon, Liu Haining gathered everyone in the cafeteria for a small meeting.

"Everyone's here, let me tell you something. Tomorrow, Zhang Jun and Wang Jianpeng will be transferred to other cafeterias. From now on, Weiming and Jie Cheng will help me. We're going to be a little short on staff these few days, so everyone will have to work a little harder."

After Liu Haining finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Not long after Liu Haining left, Director Wang from the cafeteria came to the kitchen.

After talking to Yan Jiecheng and Shao Weiming about the regularization, he took Zhang Jun and Wang Jianpeng away.

Seeing that everything was exactly as Shao Weiming said, Yan Jiecheng looked at him with some admiration.

With two people missing from the kitchen, Shao Weiming and Yan Jiecheng's work became even more tiring.

Although there was another temporary worker, he didn't know who had the connection or influence to work for him, so he just sat around in the kitchen all day. Liu Haining turned a blind eye to this.

What makes Yan Jiecheng feel relieved is that the person has not been converted to a regular employee yet.

Don’t underestimate the importance of becoming a regular employee. Before becoming a regular employee, Yan Jiecheng only received 15 yuan per month, and apart from this, he had no other benefits.

But after becoming a regular employee, Yan Jiecheng can get 22.5 yuan per month. He can also enjoy various other bills and year-end benefits. The difference between the two can be said to be huge.
