Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 93 My father-in-law is here

Yan Jiecheng gently lifted the fishing rod and skillfully cast the hook to the fishing spot before setting up the rod in the pre-prepared position.

After doing all that, Yan Jie sat down and began to leisurely play with his precious daughter.

Yan Jiecheng spent the entire afternoon at Shichahai, and even as the sun was about to set, no fish had taken the bait.

At this point, Yan Jiecheng could only rely on his "golden touch" to catch a three-pound grass carp.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng catch such a big fish.

Yan Jiecheng's daughter, Xixi, instantly became extremely excited.

They kept clapping their little hands, wanting to touch the fish.

Yan Jiecheng quickly put the fish into the fish basket, then packed up his things, picked up his unhappy daughter, and hurried home.

When Yan Jiecheng returned home, Fu Linlin had just returned home as well.

Fu Linlin was quite surprised when she saw the fishing rod in Yan Jiecheng's hand and the grass carp in the fish basket.

"Brother Cheng, did you catch these fish?"

Yan Jiecheng handed the fish basket to Fu Linlin, saying with a smug look on his face.

"If I didn't catch it, did I pick it up? It's just that it's inconvenient to carry Xixi with me, otherwise I would have caught more."

Fu Linlin naturally didn't believe Yan Jiecheng's words.

Yan Jiecheng didn't dwell on that, and instead asked about Fu Linlin's work situation.

"Linlin, how's your first day at work?"

Fu Linlin hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Nothing else is wrong, but I feel like there's someone named Yu Haitang on the radio station who seems quite hostile towards me. I don't know if my feeling is right?"

Upon hearing his wife mention Yu Haitang, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but think of Yang Weimin.

Thinking about their relationship, Yan Jiecheng spoke up to remind them.

"Linlin, I told you before that I was suspended because of Yang Weimin. This Yu Haitang is Yang Weimin's girlfriend. Be more careful at work in the future, so as not to be schemed against."

After hearing Yan Jiecheng's reminder, Fu Linlin kept it in mind.

……

That day, Yan Jiecheng, as usual, planned to go fishing at Shichahai after breakfast.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I heard a familiar voice.

"Solution."

When Yan Jiecheng saw that the people who came were actually his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he immediately exclaimed with delight.

"Dad, Mom, how did you find this place? Come inside quickly."

After entering the courtyard, the father-in-law and his wife began to look around.

Although this courtyard is not as spacious as their courtyard in Miyun, it is much more exquisite.

"Dad, Mom, you'll stay in this room."

When the father-in-law saw that Yan Jiecheng had actually left the main house to him and his wife, he quickly waved his hand and said...

“Jiecheng, you are now the head of the household. How can we live in the main room?”

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

"Dad, we're all family, there's no need for so much formality. Besides, everything's already packed, so please don't refuse..."

After much persuasion, Yan Jiecheng finally convinced the elderly couple.

After settling the elderly couple in, Yan Jiecheng made a special trip to the steel rolling mill to tell Fu Linlin.

As luck would have it, Yan Jiecheng ran into Yang Weimin when he arrived at the radio station.

Yang Weimin was acting like a sycophant, showering Yu Haitang with concern and affection.

Upon seeing Yan Jiecheng, Yang Weimin immediately reverted to his arrogant demeanor and questioned him.

"Hey Yan, weren't you suspended? Why are you still at the steel mill?" Yan Jiecheng originally didn't want to pay attention to this simpleton, but this guy just had to come over here.

Yan Jiecheng immediately retorted without any politeness.

“Yang Weimin, even if I am suspended from my post, my rank is still there. You, a mere clerk, have no right to question me.”

Yan Jiecheng's words left Yang Weimin speechless, and he finally spoke after a long while.

"Hey Yan, believe it or not, with just one word from me, I can strip you of your title."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yang Weimin with disdain and said.

"Oh, you think your uncle can really control everything in the steel mill? Or do you think I, Yan Jiecheng, am some pushover who can be easily bullied?"

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he sneered twice and continued.

“You can go and report me to your uncle. If your uncle dares to issue my dismissal order, I guarantee that you and your uncle will not stay in the steel mill for long. If you have the guts, let your uncle try.”

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's confident demeanor, Yang Weimin felt a little guilty and dared not utter any more harsh words, only managing to squeeze out one:
"Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you."

After saying that, he left the radio station in a disheveled state.

Watching Yang Weimin's retreating figure, Yan Jiecheng shook his head with a look of disdain, then ignored Yu Haitang beside him and walked straight into the broadcasting station.

After leaving, Yang Weimin went directly to his uncle Yang Dechang's office.

He then embellished the story and told Edward Yang what had just happened.

"Uncle, Yan Jiecheng isn't just looking down on me, he's clearly not taking you seriously."

Upon hearing this, Edward Yang was also very conflicted.

Suspending Yan Jiecheng is an option that he, as the factory director, has the authority to do.

But after all, he was only the factory director; the Party Secretary held the power to appoint and dismiss personnel.

If he insists on stripping Yan Jiecheng of his title, then a high-level meeting will be needed, and Secretary Qian will have to make the final decision.

Is it really worth going to such lengths for Yan Jiecheng?

Furthermore, someone in Yan Jiecheng's position will inevitably know a certain number of people, and if things escalate...

After weighing the options, Edward Yang ultimately refused his nephew's request.

"For the people, Yan Jiecheng has already been suspended from his duties and is reflecting on his actions. If we were to strip him of his rank as well, it would have a bad influence if word got out. Let's just let this matter go."

Seeing that his uncle had made up his mind, Yang Weimin could only nod dejectedly.

……

After telling Fu Linlin about his father-in-law and his wife's arrival, Yan Jiecheng left the propaganda department.

However, Yan Jiecheng did not leave; instead, he went to Li Huaide's office.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Yan Jiecheng, Li Huaide was quite surprised and asked him to sit down, saying...

"Jie Cheng, instead of staying home and reflecting on your actions, what are you doing here?"

Yan Jiecheng gave a wry smile and said.

"Boss, I've been suspended for over a week now. When can I come back to work?"

"Hey, weren't you pretty stubborn back then? Why are you in such a hurry now?"

Faced with Li Huaide's teasing, Yan Jiecheng could only lower his head in embarrassment and remain silent.

At this moment, Li Huaide stood up, came to Yan Jiecheng's side, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, you won't be idle for long. You'll be back at your post by the end of this month at the latest."

With Li Huaide's assurance, Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't in a hurry at first, but now his father-in-law and mother-in-law have arrived.

It would be rather unseemly if I were to spend my days doing nothing.

After thanking Li Huaide, Yan Jiecheng returned home.
