Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 115 Begging for mercy
This time it was Li Huaide's turn to be surprised. After hearing Yan Jiecheng's tactful refusal, Li Huaide found it somewhat unbelievable.

He truly hadn't expected that Yan Jiecheng would dare to refuse him now. What gave him the right to refuse him?
Li Huaide immediately said with a cold face.

"What? Does Deputy Director Yan think my arrangement is unreasonable?"

Wow, this person's change of heart is faster than turning the pages of a book.

After silently criticizing it, Yan Jiecheng quickly said...

"Leader, why would I think that? I just feel that since the committee has just been established, assigning the factory security team there now would mean that training and management would fall behind. It would be better to postpone it..."

Li Huaide was riding high today and wouldn't listen to anything Yan Jiecheng said.

Upon hearing Yan Jiecheng's refusal, before he could even finish speaking, Li Huaide slammed his hand on the table and said...

"Since Deputy Director Yan disagrees, I will arrange for someone who can agree to come as soon as possible. It's getting late, you should go home early too."

After saying that, Li Huaide strode away.

Watching Li Huaide's retreating figure, Yan Jiecheng didn't mind and followed suit, getting up to go home as well.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived home, Fu Linlin was still not resting.

Upon seeing Yan Jiecheng, he couldn't help but express his concern.

"Brother Cheng, the commotion at today's staff meeting really startled me. Didn't you always say you wanted to keep a low profile? Why were you so..."

Yan Jiecheng poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, and then spoke.

"When you're in the world, you're not always in control of your own destiny. Sometimes you can't just keep a low profile whenever you want."

Upon hearing this, Fu Linlin touched her belly and said.

"Brother Cheng, I'm pregnant again. You need to be more considerate in your actions and dealings."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng quickly put down his teacup, came to Fu Linlin's side, and said with a look of surprise.

"Another one? When did this happen?"

"I felt a little unwell this afternoon, so I went to the clinic for a check-up. That's when I found out that it's been three months."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but scold him.

"Look at you, it's been three months and you're only finding out now. You're so careless."

The two chatted for a while, and after Fu Linlin fell asleep, Yan Jiecheng leaned against the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, thinking about his current situation.

After Xiang Jun leaves, no matter who takes over as the head of the security department, Yan Jiecheng's position in the security department will be unshakeable in the short term.

But this was only within the security department. If Li Huaide did something to him, or if he asked someone else to do something to him, Yan Jiecheng wouldn't have much power to resist.

Especially after he rejected Li Huaide today, a rift has clearly formed between the two.

However, if Yan Jiecheng does not object, the authority of the security department will be greatly diminished without the factory protection team.

This will also damage Yan Jiecheng's prestige in the security department.

Should I leave with Xiang Jun?
Since Xiang Jun mentioned the word "hibernation," his position in the past must not have been as high as it is now.

Moreover, since I am not from a military background, I would probably find it difficult to integrate into Xiang Jun's circle and demonstrate my value.

Most importantly, who knows if this wave will affect Xiang Jun?

After much deliberation, Yan Jiecheng finally decided to refuse Xiang Jun and stay at the steel rolling mill.

In the following days, there were significant changes in the management of the steel rolling mill.

Many of Yang Dechang's close associates were hit.

First, the workshop directors of several large workshops were transferred to sweep the streets.

Subsequently, the heads of many departments, including the finance department, factory office, publicity, and production scheduling, were also transferred away.

For a time, a sense of unease permeated the entire steel rolling mill. Yan Jiecheng, however, did not intervene, but simply stayed quietly in the security office, ignoring everything that was happening outside.

Sometimes, even if you don't go looking for trouble, trouble will come looking for you.

That day, Yan Jiecheng was sitting leisurely in his office, legs crossed, drinking tea, when the office door rang.

When Yan Jiecheng brought the people in, he found that the visitors were Chen Dong, the head of the personnel department, and Zhao Qing from the factory office.

Seeing that the two looked somewhat flustered, Yan Jiecheng quickly invited them to sit down and poured them tea.

"You two are rare guests. What brings you to my humble abode today?"

Chen Dong wiped away imaginary sweat and said anxiously.

"Brother Yan, you have to save us this time."

Zhao Qing, who was standing to the side, quickly chimed in.

"Yes, Director Yan, only you can save us now."

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two of them.

"You two are both highly powerful, one is the head of the personnel department and the other is the director of the factory office, so please don't try to embarrass me."

Chen Dong sighed and said dejectedly.

"Brother Yan, at a time like this, I'm not in the mood for jokes. If nothing unexpected happens, Lao Zhao and I will be going to the farm this afternoon. You can't just stand by and watch someone die, can you?"

Go to the farm? Yan Jiecheng realized that Li Huaide was about to make a move against the two of them.

Indeed, although both of them are Qian's men, they have been getting very close to Yang Dechang lately.

It's understandable that Li Huaide dealt with the two of them.

After figuring this out, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

Zhao Qing didn't care; Yan Jiecheng and he were just nodding acquaintances, with no real relationship.

But Chen Dong is different. Whether it was Yan Jiecheng's wife being transferred or dealing with Guo Da Piezi, Chen Dong had helped in both cases.

The two had a good relationship, and it would be unreasonable for me to stand idly by at this time.

Yan Jiecheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, how would you like me to help you? Or what kind of outcome do you want?"

The two had clearly reached a consensus before coming. When Yan Jiecheng asked him a question, Chen Dong replied with a wry smile.

“At this point, we don’t expect anything. Please say a few words to Director Li. As long as we can stay at the steel rolling mill, we’ll accept it even if it’s just sweeping the streets.”

After hearing Chen Dong's words, Yan Jiecheng looked at Zhao Qing beside him. Zhao Qing quickly nodded in agreement.

After learning about their requests, Yan Jiecheng nodded and said...

"Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, I'll go to Director Li's office right now and talk to him, but let me be clear, I can't guarantee it will work out."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, brother. You'd better hurry, or I'll miss the boat."

Seeing Chen Dong say this, Yan Jiecheng told the two to stay in the office, while he went to Li Huaide's office.

After Yan Jiecheng finished explaining his purpose to Li Huaide, Li Huaide frowned and said with displeasure.

"Jie Cheng, how come you dare to take on everything?"

Seeing that Li Huaide didn't embarrass him or reject him immediately, Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Boss, as you know, I owe Chen Dong a lot of favors before. Now that he's come to me for help, I can't just stand by and do nothing, can I?"
