Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 81 Returning to Miyun

Yan Jiecheng originally planned to drive back by himself.

But when Yan Jiecheng arrived at the transportation department's parking shed and saw the dilapidated old-fashioned jeeps, his heart couldn't help but pound.

It seems we'll have to put in a lot of hard work for the drivers of the small car fleet.

After agreeing on a departure time with the driver for the next day, Yan Jiecheng went back.

The next morning, after Yan Jiecheng put his luggage into the car, he took out a pack of cigarettes wrapped in newspaper from his backpack and handed it to the driver.

"Master Zhao, thank you for your hard work on this trip. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Upon seeing this, Master Zhao quickly waved his hand and said...

"Section Chief Yan, what are you doing? I can't accept this."

Yan Jiecheng stuffed the cigarette directly into Master Zhao's arms and said.

“Master Zhao, I’ve troubled you with some personal matters, so I should naturally show my appreciation. Please accept this.”

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Master Zhao had no choice but to accept the cigarettes.

……

After a journey of more than three hours, Yan Jiecheng finally arrived at his mother-in-law's house.

At this time, Fu Linlin and her father-in-law were at work, leaving only her mother-in-law at home with the child.

When Yan Jiecheng and his driver, Mr. Zhao, carried large bags and small packages into the yard, his mother-in-law, who was taking care of her child in the yard, was startled.

"Jiecheng, why are you back? Did something happen?"

It's no wonder my mother-in-law was so surprised, after all, Fu Linlin had just returned from Beijing.

After putting the things he was carrying into the house, Yan Jiecheng and Master Zhao sat down and began to discuss the matter.

"Mom, don't you know your son-in-law? What could possibly happen to me? Linlin's transfer has already been arranged, so I rushed back to pick her up."

Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and quickly invited Master Zhao to sit down and have some water.

Yan Jiecheng's beloved daughter also saw Yan Jiecheng at this moment and was struggling to get out of her mother-in-law's arms.

Upon seeing this, Yan Jiecheng quickly took his daughter from her and said...

"Xixi, do you miss your dad?"

"Ah, ah, big..."

Not only his daughter Xixi, but also the children of his cousins ​​were gathered around Yan Jiecheng, all affectionately calling him "Uncle".

Yan Jiecheng held his daughter Xixi in one arm and opened a package with the other, taking out peach shortbread and milk candy, which he then distributed to the little ones.

After resting at home for a while, Yan Jiecheng took his beloved daughter and drove to the ironworks.

Using his previous connections, Yan Jiecheng first arranged for Master Zhao to stay in the ironworks dormitory.

After arranging Zhao's room, Yan Jiecheng took out a small stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Zhao.

"Master Zhao, my father-in-law's place is short of housing, so I'm sorry to trouble you to stay here for the night. There's a restaurant not far from the factory gate that has pretty good food, so you can have dinner there. I'm really sorry."

Master Zhao quickly waved his hand and said.

"Section Chief Yan, what are you saying? The accommodations are quite nice. As for meals, there's no need to go to so much trouble. I can just eat in the cafeteria. You go ahead with your work."

Yan Jiecheng stuffed the money into Master Zhao's hand and said with a smile.

"Master Zhao, you've been so busy taking care of me, I can't let you pay for your own meal. If word gets out, how can I face anyone? Please accept it."

After settling Mr. Zhao in, Yan Jiecheng carried his daughter to the logistics department office.

As soon as he entered the office, Lü Xiaojun and Lu Zijin greeted him warmly.

"Section Chief Yan, what brings you here?"

"Section Chief Yan, we really don't feel comfortable with you not here."

After chatting with them for a few minutes, Yan Jiecheng went to Fu Linlin's desk.

Fu Linlin looked at Yan Jiecheng with a happy expression and asked.

"Brother Cheng, what brings you here?"

Yan Jiecheng said while playing with his daughter, "I didn't expect to come back so soon. It's because there's been some progress on your transfer."

Fu Linlin said in surprise.

"So fast?"

"Yes, things went surprisingly smoothly. There happened to be a vacancy at the propaganda department's broadcasting station, and I thought it would be a good fit for you, so I agreed."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he looked around the office and asked in confusion.

"Linlin, where's Brother Ding?"

The two were already speaking softly, and after hearing Yan Jiecheng's question, Fu Linlin lowered her voice again.

"Brother Ding had a conflict with the new section chief, and he was sent away on a business trip more than half a month ago."

Yan Jiecheng nodded and did not ask any further questions.

When Yan Jiecheng left, he noticed that Ding Nianrong was somewhat blindly confident about the vacant section chief position, so confident that he was almost ostentatious.

With such a high profile, how could the new section chief not deal with him?

After staying in the office for a while, Yan Jiecheng handed his daughter to Fu Linlin and said.

"Linlin, you keep an eye on Xixi, I'll go and get your transfer paperwork done."

After leaving the logistics department office, Yan Jiecheng did not go to find the new department head, but went directly to Wang Shaoquan's office.

"Old boss, I've come to see you."

When Wang Shaoquan saw that the visitor was Yan Jiecheng, he warmly invited him to sit down.

"Jiecheng, you came back this time because of your wife's job transfer, right?"

Yan Jiecheng chuckled twice and said.

"Nothing can be hidden from the old leader."

Wang Shaoquan nodded and said.

“I’ll have someone else handle the paperwork for you. You just sit here and chat with me.”

Afterwards, Wang Shaoquan made a phone call, gave instructions, and then continued speaking.

"I heard you're doing quite well at the steel mill. I even heard rumors that you're going to get another promotion?"

Yan Jiecheng was taken aback upon hearing this, and then looked at Wang Shaoquan in surprise.

"Sir, where did you hear this rumor from? How come I, the person directly involved, don't know about this?"

In fact, Yan Jiecheng had also heard this rumor, and he heard it from Li Huaide.

However, Yan Jiecheng would never admit to such a thing before he had received the appointment.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's surprised expression, Wang Shaoquan couldn't help but wonder if it was really just a rumor.
Wang Shaoquan then stopped dwelling on the issue and instead inquired about the situation at the steel rolling mill.

When faced with Wang Shaoquan's questions, Yan Jiecheng gave selective answers.

Those who can speak will naturally answer without reservation, while those who cannot will remain completely silent.

Yan Jiecheng chatted with Wang Shaoquan in his office for about half an hour, and the two seemed to enjoy their conversation.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and a clerk from the factory office walked in with a document in his hand, saying respectfully.

"Secretary Wang, Comrade Fu Linlin's transfer procedures have all been completed. This is her personnel file."

Yan Jiecheng took the document directly from the clerk and said to Wang Shaoquan with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, old boss. I'll come see you another day."

"Okay, let's talk again when we have time."

After leaving Wang Shaoquan's office, Yan Jie returned to the logistics department.

"Linlin, the transfer procedures are complete. Go tell your supervisor, and we'll go home."

Fu Linlin glanced at the documents in Yan Jiecheng's hand, handed her daughter to Yan Jiecheng, and went to the office next door.
