Siheyuan: Start with a big car

"That's more like it, Zheng Tong. We have been good brothers for many years. Just follow me and you will have a good life in the future."

Seeing that Zheng Tong was willing to help, the anger on Zhong Yuemin's face instantly dissipated a lot, and he felt relieved. He knew that Zheng Tong was a man of many ideas, and with his help, his chances of going to the sawmill to find Yan Jiecheng to ask for the train tickets would be much greater.

At that moment, Zhong Yuemin told Zheng Tong everything he had heard before, that Yan Jiecheng worked in the logistics department of the sawmill, and that he planned to block him at the sawmill. He also expressed his concerns and thoughts, hoping to hear if Zheng Tong had any better ideas.

After listening to this, Zheng Tong stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said: "Brother Yuemin, I think we should disguise ourselves first, otherwise it won't attract too much attention.

We all changed into workers' clothes and blended in with the workers who were leaving get off work, so Yan Jiecheng wouldn't be able to find us for a while.

When he comes out, we will seize the right opportunity and take him to a secluded place nearby. Then we can have a good talk with him and ask him to hand over the ticket. This will not only avoid alerting the enemy, but also make it easier for us to do our job."

Zhong Yuemin curled his lips when he heard this, thinking Zheng Tong was too timid. He said nonchalantly: "Zheng Tong, you are too cautious. Why should we be so sneaky? I am a child of a big courtyard. In this Beijing area, who can I be afraid of?

Even if someone saw him, so what? I just don't believe Yan Jiecheng can escape my clutches."

Liu Haiyang, who was standing by, felt that Zheng Tong's opinion made sense, so he quickly persuaded him, "Brother Yuemin, I think Zheng Tong is right. After all, our business is not something aboveboard, so it's better to keep a low profile."

If the situation gets out of hand and people from the factory or other people come to watch, it will be a mess. Let's do as Zheng Tong says first, it's safer."

Zhong Yuemin frowned, looked at Liu Haiyang, and then at Zheng Tong. Although he still felt a little disapproving, he thought that what the two said made some sense. After all, it would be quite troublesome if this matter was messed up.

After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll listen to you. Let's go prepare the workers' clothes first, and then we'll do what Zheng Tong said. But you have to be smart, so that nothing goes wrong."

Liu Haiyang and Zheng Tong were relieved when they heard Zhong Yuemin agreed. They smiled at each other and Zheng Tong said, "Brother Yuemin, don't worry. We have planned ahead of time and nothing will go wrong. Once we get the tickets, this matter will be resolved satisfactorily."

So, the three of them started to prepare the workers' clothes.
At this time, Yan Jiecheng was still busy in the logistic department of the timber factory. Although he had been hanging around on the streets for many years and had developed a slippery habit, and his work ability was really not that good, this guy was very perceptive and knew how to act according to the situation.

While he was working, he saw Director Chen from the Logistics Department come in. Yan Jiecheng's eyes rolled around and he immediately had an idea. He first pretended to lift the box next to him, pretending to use all his strength. After a few lifts, he stopped, panting, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, pretending to be very tired and needed to rest.

Then, he fumbled in his pocket for a while and took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes. With a flattering smile on his face, he walked up to Director Chen in two steps and handed the cigarette to him with both hands, praising him non-stop: "Director Chen, you are such a good leader. You have managed all aspects of the factory's logistics in an orderly manner. You must work so hard every day. I have been working here for a while, and I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

When Director Chen saw this, he knew that Yan Jiecheng was trying to flatter him, so he waved his hand and declined, "Hey, Xiao Yan, what are you doing? How can I accept your cigarettes? Doing your job well is the most important thing, don't do these useless things."

Yan Jiecheng was not willing to give up. He leaned forward, smiling more earnestly, and said quickly, "Director Chen, please don't say that. This is just a small token of my appreciation. You always take such good care of us. I don't know how to thank you. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad. Please accept it. It will be a favor to me."

Director Chen looked at Yan Jiecheng's enthusiasm and persistence. It seemed a bit unreasonable to refuse. After hesitating for a while, he reached out to take the cigarette. With a smile on his face, he said, "Xiao Yan, you are a very capable young man. However, you can't just talk at work. You have to work hard. I have also seen your recent work performance. You are quite diligent. Keep it up."

When Yan Jiecheng heard Director Chen praising him for his hard work, he was so proud that he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Director Chen, don't worry, I will definitely work hard and will never embarrass you. If you have any instructions, I promise to get them done as soon as possible."

Director Chen smiled and nodded, gave a few more instructions, then turned and left.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Director Chen's back, his lips curled up slightly, thinking to himself, if you want to get ahead in the factory, you have to be good at dealing with things. This pack of cigarettes is really worth it. As long as you can please the leader, it will be only a matter of time before you get promoted and get a raise.

Banggeng was also working nearby. He was always thinking about the factory's regularization quota. After all, everyone knew that there was only one quota for regularization this time, so the competition would be very fierce. Everyone was eagerly hoping that it would fall on their shoulders.

At this moment, he saw Yan Jiecheng trying his best to flatter Director Chen, and he immediately understood that Yan Jiecheng must be trying to get the only regularization quota by currying favor with the leader. Banggeng and Yan Jiecheng didn't get along well in the first place, and they often had a lot of quarrels. When he saw this scene, the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

He couldn't help but snorted coldly, mocking Yan Jiecheng with disdain on his face, "Oh, Yan Jiecheng, you are really something. Look at your lackey-like appearance, you only know how to flatter the leader. If you have this ability, why don't you do more real work? I think you are just thinking about the regularization quota, huh, don't you feel ashamed?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he was not angry at all. Instead, he curled up a mocking smile. He slowly turned his head and looked at Banggeng, and retorted sarcastically: "Humph, who did I think it was? It turned out to be Banggeng. How dare you say that to me? What kind of person were you before? Don't you have any idea? You are a thief, and you still have the nerve to accuse me here? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself."

This was a serious matter. When Banggeng heard what Yan Jiecheng said, he was immediately annoyed.

You know, they had agreed before entering the lumber mill that neither of them would reveal the other's past. After all, it was shameful to tell others about those things. If the people in the mill knew about it, they would not be able to stay here anymore. Bang Geng's face turned red, his eyes widened, and he pointed at Yan Jiecheng's nose and shouted angrily: "Yan Jiecheng, you bastard, you dare to reveal my past, we agreed before, why don't you keep your word? I think you are a low-class person, and I will never let you go today!"

Yan Jiecheng was not to be outdone, and said with his neck stiff, "Humph, you were the one who started the trouble. Why didn't you think about the consequences when you called me a lackey? I'm not afraid of you. Come on if you have the guts. Who's afraid of who?"

The two of them were on edge, and when their colleagues saw this, they all came over.
When Yan Jiecheng saw so many people gathering around him, he secretly thought that this was a "good opportunity" and he had to strike first.

He knew very well that Yi Zhonghai was Jia Dongxu's master and had a certain influence in the factory. With Yi Zhonghai's support behind Bang Geng, the possibility of Bang Geng becoming a regular employee was much greater than his own. No, he couldn't let Bang Geng get the upper hand. He had to find a way to ruin his reputation so that the regular employee quota would fall firmly into his hands.

So Yan Jiecheng deliberately raised his voice and said to everyone, "Huh, you don't know this, right? When he was in the courtyard, he did some sneaky things. He stole the old hens from Xu Damao's house. The story spread all over the courtyard. We can't keep such a dirty person in our factory, don't you agree?"

As soon as Yan Jiecheng said this, the workers around him were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise and curiosity, and they laughed and talked in a low voice.

"Oh, I never expected that he, who looks like a very honest person, would actually do such a thing."

"That's right. If he has dirty hands, he can't be hired as a regular employee. If something is lost in the factory in the future, who will be responsible for it?"

When Banggeng heard what Yan Jiecheng said, his face instantly turned red and he was angry and anxious. He never expected that Yan Jiecheng would be so shameless as to openly reveal this matter, and in front of so many colleagues. Where could he put his face?

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Yan Jiecheng and shouted, "Yan Jiecheng, you bastard, you are slandering me. You are going too far. I will fight you!"

Having said that, Bang Geng no longer cared about anything else. All his anger was concentrated on his fist. He gathered all his strength and punched Yan Jiecheng hard in the face.

Yan Jiecheng didn't expect Banggeng to really hit him. He was stunned by the punch and felt a sharp pain on his face. He subconsciously took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground. When he came to his senses, Yan Jiecheng was also angry. He glared at him and said viciously: "Banggeng, you dare to hit me. I must teach you a lesson today!"

As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng also swung his fist and counterattacked at Banggeng. His punches were fast and fierce.
Banggeng had just rushed forward in a fit of rage, without any idea of ​​how to fight. So facing Yan Jiecheng's counterattack, he was suddenly unable to withstand it.

In just a few hits, Bang Geng was beaten black and blue, with bruises all over his face and a cracked corner of his mouth, from which blood oozed. He looked extremely miserable.

The workers around were all worried about what might happen if something bad happened. So someone ran to call the security officer from the security department.

Soon, the security officer rushed over and saw Bang Geng and Yan Jiecheng in such a messy and tense state. He frowned and asked loudly, "What are you two doing? Why are you fighting in the factory? Do you know that this is against factory regulations? Tell me, what happened?"

Yan Jiecheng and Banggeng also sobered up a bit now, and they suddenly became nervous. They knew very well that if they revealed their past, they would not be able to stay in this factory anymore. They would be criticized by others and their reputation would be ruined.

The two looked at each other, and immediately, as if they were different people, their attitudes changed 180 degrees. They hurriedly put on a smile and said in unison: "Comrade, this... this is just a misunderstanding. We were just joking and didn't control the strength well. We accidentally got into this situation. We really didn't mean to fight. Please don't take it seriously. We know we were wrong and we will definitely not do this again in the future."

The security officer looked at them suspiciously, obviously not believing their story. After all, it was not a joke that led to such a fight. However, seeing that they were sincere at the moment, he did not say anything more, so he warned them seriously, "Humph, you two had better tell the truth. Even if it was a joke, you can't fight in the factory. I'll let you off this time, but if it happens again, I won't let you off so easily. Go back to work and don't make trouble here."

When Yan Jiecheng and Bang Geng heard that the security officer had let them go, they nodded in response: "Yes, yes, comrade, thank you. We will go back to work and promise not to do it again." With that, the two turned around and walked back in shame, but their resentment towards each other deepened.
When it was time to get off work, the workers packed up and prepared to go home one after another.

When Yan Jiecheng passed by Bang Geng, a smug and contemptuous smile appeared on his face. He spat at Bang Geng fiercely, looking so arrogant. Then, without even looking at the furious Bang Geng, he turned around and swaggered out of the workshop to go home.

As he walked, he thought to himself, humph, this Bang Geng is a brainless guy, he only relies on brute force for everything, and he relies on Yi Zhonghai to look after him from behind. With his skills, how could he be my opponent? Today's incident is also a lesson for him. Let's see if he dares to go against me in the future.

But Yan Jiecheng knew in his heart that he couldn't go back to the Siheyuan directly yet.

After all, I promised Zhong Yuemin to get a ticket for new energy vehicles, but I haven't gotten an explanation yet.

He was worried that Zhong Yuemin was waiting at the gate of the courtyard to block him. If he went back like this, he would be walking into a trap.

Our Yan Jiecheng is not a stickler. (End of this chapter)
