Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 89 Revenge
Hearing from Yan Jiecheng that a gag order had been issued, Qin Huairu felt somewhat relieved.

However, Qin Huairu knew in her heart that since Yan Jiecheng knew about her prostitution, it would be almost impossible for her to seduce him again.

But since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed. Whether we've made a profit or not, we'll at least try our luck.

With this thought in mind, Qin Huairu said, sobbing.

"Deputy Director Yan, considering we've been neighbors for so many years, could you perhaps change Sister Qin's job? She really can't handle being a fitter; after all these years, she's still only a first-class worker?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Qin Huairu with amusement and said.

“Sister-in-law Jia, there are indeed many jobs in the factory that are easier than being a fitter, and I can certainly put in a good word for you. It’s not difficult.”

"However, without a degree, you can't do office work that involves writing and drawing, let alone warehousing or guesthouse work."

"Besides that, the kitchen helper position is more suitable for you."

"You need to think this through carefully. Although the job of a kitchen helper is easier than that of a fitter, the salary and allowance are not as good as those of a fitter."

Fitters are in physically demanding jobs, and each month they receive about ten kilograms more food rations than canteen kitchen helpers, plus two yuan more in wages.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu immediately felt conflicted.

In the long run, it is undoubtedly more worthwhile to work as a kitchen helper.

With Sha Zhu's help, Qin Huairu believed that getting a raise after the skills assessment wouldn't be difficult if she worked as a kitchen helper.

The real challenge is what to do during the period before the pay raise? My short-sighted mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, will definitely not agree.

Moreover, Qin Huai himself was reluctant to part with the extra dozen or so kilograms of grain coupons and the two yuan subsidy that the fitter received each month.

But if she just gave up like that, wouldn't she have made a wasted trip? Qin Huairu felt unwilling just thinking about it.

So he immediately changed his approach and said...

"Deputy Director Yan, my family is really struggling to make ends meet, so I'll stay in my job for now. Could you lend me some money?"

Previously, Yan Jiecheng was able to consider his status and patiently give Qin Huairu a few perfunctory replies.

But this woman is so ungrateful, actually trying to take advantage of me. She really thinks her politeness is a blessing.

Yan Jiecheng was too lazy to continue the conversation with Qin Huairu and immediately started to kick her out.

"Sister-in-law Jia, I'm at work and I don't have any money on me. How about this, when you get back, you can go directly to my dad's house to get it. Just tell him I said I have to go to work and I won't keep you any longer."

Asking Yan Fugui for money—that's a really brilliant excuse.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but roll her eyes at this.

However, seeing Yan Jiecheng kick people out, Qin Huairu, no matter how unwilling she was, could only get up and say goodbye.

After Qin Huairu left, Yan Jiecheng plotted how to teach her a lesson, otherwise the woman would definitely come knocking on his door again next time.

However, if Qin Huai were to directly reprimand her, it wouldn't have a good impact if word got out.

After much deliberation, Yan Jiecheng decided to target Guo Dapizi and Shazhu, directly cutting off Qin Huairu's extra income.

Yan Jiecheng, as the deputy director of the security department, was in charge of two important sections: public security and fire protection.

Dealing with a deputy workshop director and a canteen supervisor is an easy task.

However, Yan Jiecheng did not act rashly, but instead went to the office of Chen Dong, the head of the personnel department.

When Chen Dong saw Yan Jiecheng arrive, he was very welcoming and immediately invited Yan Jiecheng to sit down.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yan Jiecheng spoke seriously.

"Brother Chen, I want to ask you something."

"Oh, you say."

"Brother Chen, who's this Guo Da Piezi, the deputy director of the fitter's workshop?" "What? Did he offend you?"

Yan Jiecheng shook his head and said.

"No, he works in production, while I work in security. We're completely unrelated, so there's no question of offending him. To be honest, I just don't like some of the things he does and wanted to teach him a lesson. I hope you'll forgive me, Brother Chen."

Chen Dong had heard about Guo Da Piezi's character, so he wasn't surprised when Yan Jiecheng said that, and immediately told him what he knew.

"Guo Da Piezi is indeed a terrible person, but I must say, he's a real expert at his job."

"Not only did he manage the workshop very well, but he himself was also a level seven fitter. He trained many apprentices in the workshop and was deeply loved by Director Chen."

Yan Jiecheng was somewhat surprised to hear that Guo Dapiezi was one of Director Chen's men.

Director Chen was the deputy director in charge of the steel rolling mill's production. He was also a pragmatist who never got involved in the struggle between Yang Dechang and Li Huaide.

If I target Guo Da Piezi, and it causes a misunderstanding with Director Chen, leading to a chain reaction, that would be terrible.

After noticing Yan Jiecheng's apprehension, Chen Dong smiled and said...

"What? Should I step in?"

After hearing Chen Dong's words, Yan Jiecheng hesitated. He only wanted to teach Qin Huairu a lesson, but was it worth it to ask Chen Dong for a favor?

However, Yan Jiecheng then thought, "Aren't friends meant to be used? How can we deepen our friendship if we don't use them?"

Thinking of this, Yan Jie immediately smiled and said.

"Brother Chen, if you were to take action, wouldn't it be overkill to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

In response to Yan Jiecheng's teasing, Chen Dongxu replied with a smile.

"It doesn't matter what kind of knife you use, as long as it achieves the goal, you don't need to worry about this matter, leave it to me."

Having dealt with Guo Da Piezi, the next one is Sha Zhu.

It was even simpler to teach Sha Zhu a lesson; Yan Jiecheng made a trip to the Public Security Bureau.

The security department was instructed to strengthen safety checks on workers going to and from get off work.

Upon receiving the order, the security personnel increased manpower at the gate that afternoon.

And unsurprisingly, they detained Sha Zhu, who was carrying a lunchbox.

The next morning, the head of the Public Security Section knocked on Yan Jiecheng's office door with a list in hand.

"Director, yesterday after get off work, our security department intensified our inspections as workers were leaving, and we made some good progress."

"We discovered and arrested 18 people who stole factory supplies. What do you think we should do with them?"

Yan Jiecheng took the list and saw that Sha Zhu's name was prominently displayed on it.

Yan Jiecheng was very satisfied, but said it aloud.

"So many people? Are there any particularly egregious cases?"

"Yes, Sha Zhu from the third canteen, after being discovered by the security team members on duty at the gate, actually tried to resist and escape. His behavior was extremely bad."

After hearing the head of the public security section's account, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but burst into laughter. This was indeed in line with Sha Zhu's character.

Feeling that his laughter was somewhat inappropriate, Yan Jie immediately composed himself and said...

“I didn’t expect that a simple, increased patrol would uncover so many people. This is a very serious problem. I need to report to Director Xiang before I can take any action.”

After dismissing the head of the security section, Yan Jiecheng went to Xiang Jun's office.
