Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 74 Suggestions
Director Wu looked at the documents handed over by Yan Jiecheng and said with a smile.

"Xiao Yan, that's great. You've just arrived and you know how to contribute to the department. You deserve praise."

Although Director Wu praised Yan Jiecheng, he didn't even look at the documents.

But it's normal to think about it. As the saying goes, different professions have different worlds. Yan Jiecheng comes from a logistics background and has never worked in firefighting. How could he come up with effective suggestions in such a short time?

Yan Jiecheng noticed Director Wu's perfunctory attitude and quickly spoke.

"Director, I know you must be thinking that I'm new to the Fire Department and unfamiliar with everything there. What effective suggestions can I offer?"

"But there's an old saying that those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. Perhaps the advice I offer as an outsider can be of some help to you."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng said this, Director Wu had no choice but to reluctantly pick up the document and start reading it.

At first, Director Wu just glanced at the documents casually, but then he became more and more engaged.

About half an hour later, Director Wu put down the documents and looked at Yan Jiecheng with a complicated expression.

"Well done, Xiao Yan, your report is very well written. It not only points out many fire hazards in our factory, but also provides solutions. Very good, very good."

Director Wu said "good" several times in a row, obviously very satisfied with Yan Jiecheng's report.

Director Wu continued.

"Well, Xiao Yan, I'll go report to the factory managers first, and I'll let you know when I have the results."

After Yan Jiecheng left, Director Wu excitedly took the report to find the factory director Yang Dechang.

Yang Dechang was in his office, listening to Director Wu talking about the importance of this report with saliva flying.

Although they didn't take it seriously, they still decided to convene a meeting of the Big Four in order to give face to the respected Director of Security.

The steel rolling mill was originally configured with five giants, namely a secretary, a factory director, and three deputy factory directors.

However, Secretary Qian is old and is about to retire, so he basically ignores the work in the factory.

As the three deputy factory directors Li Huaide, Zhang and Chen came to Yang Dechang's office, a meeting of the Big Four was held immediately.

Although Director Wu has a long history, his rank is not high enough, so he can only wait outside Edward Yang's office.

Edward Yang looked at his three deputies and handed the report to them for circulation.

He waited until the three of them had finished reading before continuing.

"This is a report on fire safety submitted by Director Wu of the Security Department. Do you think it's feasible?"

When Li Huaide saw Yan Jiecheng's signature at the end of the document, he couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

I didn't expect that Yan Jiecheng would give me such a big surprise as soon as he arrived at the Security Department.

Since it was a report submitted by one of our own, there was nothing else to say, so he spoke first.

"Director, I've read this report and I think it's very well written. Many of the suggestions are not groundless. I think we can try them out for a while."

Deputy Director Zhang has always been close to Li Huaide. After hearing Li Huaide's opinion, he quickly jumped out to support him.

"Well, Lao Li's opinion is quite pertinent. I second it."

After hearing the opinions of the two people, Edward Yang couldn't help but frown, then looked at Deputy Director Chen beside him and said.

"Old Chen, what's your opinion?"

Deputy Director Chen is a practical man and has always been unwilling to get involved in factional struggles in the factory.

In the past, he would have made excuses and not expressed his opinion.

But after reading this report, I feel that many of the suggestions in this report are very feasible and will be of great benefit to the factory.

So after thinking it over again and again, Deputy Director Chen said something out of character.

"Director, I think this report is well written. If it is implemented in the factory, it will definitely achieve good results." Yang Dechang's brows furrowed even more tightly.

He didn't care whether the report was feasible or not, but Deputy Director Chen's attitude made him think about it.

Could it be that Old Chen has also sided with Li Huaide? It seems that I need to pay extra attention to Old Chen's movements in the future.

Edward Yang said after thinking for a moment.

"I am also in favor of this report. Now, after listening to your opinions, my confidence is even stronger."

The Big Four meeting quickly reached a consensus on the report.

After Li Huaide and others left, Edward Yang invited Director Wu, who was waiting at the door, into the office.

"Old Wu, I've discussed this with several deputy factory directors, and we've basically reached a consensus. I'll have the factory office document this report and distribute it as soon as possible, and have the Security Department implement it as soon as possible. Are you satisfied now?"

Director Wu curled his lips and said after hearing this.

"Why should I be satisfied or dissatisfied? You can ask the people in the factory office to work more efficiently. While I'm still here, I can help keep an eye on things."

After Director Wu finished speaking, he left Edward Yang's office with his hands behind his back.

……

Not long after Yan Jiecheng returned to the office, the office door rang.

"Please come in."

As soon as the visitor entered the office, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but be a little surprised. It turned out that the visitor was Xu Damao.

"Brother Xu, how come you have time to come to me?"

"Haha, Jie Cheng, no... Chief Yan, it really is you. I heard in the hospital that you were back, but I was a little bit skeptical, so I came here specially to see you."

Although Yan Jiecheng hadn't intended to hide the news of his return, he was still surprised that it reached Siheyuan so quickly.

"Brother Xu, sit down."

After inviting Xu Damao to sit down, Yan Jiecheng politely made tea for him.

"Brother Xu, it's been a while since we last met. How have you been these past two years?"

"Hey, I'm still the same. But you, Chief Yan, have changed a lot."

"Brother Xu, we've been neighbors for many years. Just call me Jie Cheng privately."

After the two exchanged greetings, Xu Damao also stated the purpose of his visit.

"Jie Cheng, I have something I'd like to ask you for advice on?"

"Brother Xu, don't be so polite with me. If there is anything you don't understand, just tell me."

Xu Damao hesitated for a long time, and only spoke when Yan Jiecheng became a little impatient.

"Jie Cheng, you said I'm popular in our factory, and I get along well with the officials. How come I haven't been able to get a job yet?"

Faced with Xu Damao's doubts, Yan Jiecheng weighed the pros and cons and decided to give him some advice.

It’s not that he has a good relationship with Xu Damao, but in the original drama, Xu Damao is a knife in Li Huaide’s hand.

With Xu Damao around, Li Huaide would not let Yan Jiecheng do some troublesome things.

"Brother Xu, since you asked, I'll tell you. As for whether what I say is right or not, you need to judge it yourself."

"I think there are two reasons why you can't get a job. One is your Yue family. Think about it, what time is it now? Just based on your Yue family's status, do you think anyone would dare to promote you?"

"Also, let's talk about your current position. You're the only projectionist in our factory. If you're promoted, who will show the movies?"
