Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 116 New Appointment
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's slightly ingratiating expression, Li Huaide felt much better.

However, he still remembered that Yan Jiecheng had rejected him a couple of days ago, and immediately sneered.

"What? You, Deputy Director Yan, thought you were so capable, but now you know how to ask for favors?"

Upon hearing Li Huaide's tone, Yan Jiecheng knew that the matter was almost certainly settled, and quickly said in a flattering tone.

"Boss, you are right. I was blinded by greed and dared to talk back to you."

"However, leader, you must also understand my difficulties. I have only been in the security department for a short time. If the factory protection team is separated like this, I really will not be able to establish myself in the security department."

Li Huaide smiled noncommittally at Yan Jiecheng's explanation and said...

"Alright, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. But if it happens again, I won't let it go so easily."

"Hehehe, don't worry, boss, there definitely won't be a next time. What about Chen Dong and Zhao Qing?"

Li Huaide gave Yan Jiecheng a disapproving look and said.

"You brat, now that you've spoken, do you think I'd give you face? But they can't keep their current positions; they'll have to wait for transfer orders. Don't take on this kind of messy stuff in the future, you hear me?"

"Yes, sir, you're busy."

Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Li Huaide's office.

Through this conversation with Li Huaide, not only were the issues concerning Chen Dong and Zhao Qing resolved, but also...

This also made Yan Jiecheng realize that Li Huaide was unlikely to take action against him in the short term, which put Yan Jiecheng at ease.

Back in the office, Yan Jiecheng looked at Chen Dong and Zhao Qing, who were pacing anxiously back and forth, and said with a smile.

"Alright, Brother Chen, Brother Zhao, relax. Is it really necessary to be so anxious about such a small matter?"

Upon seeing Yan Jiecheng, Chen Dong quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Brother, how did it go? What did Director Li say?"

Seeing the two of them like this, Yan Jiecheng felt embarrassed to tease them and nodded.

"I have finally fulfilled my mission. Director Li has agreed not to send you to the farm. However, you will lose your positions. You will be issued demotion documents in a few days."

Upon learning the outcome, Chen Dong and Zhao Qing collapsed onto the sofa.

After a long while, Chen Dong finally calmed down and said...

"Brother Yan, I'm so grateful to you this time. I'll remember this favor."

Yan Jiecheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Chen Dong, and said.

"Brother Chen, you're being too polite with us."

At this moment, Zhao Qing, who was standing to the side, came back to his senses and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Sigh, I didn't expect to be demoted after all."

Upon hearing Zhao Qing's words, Yan Jiecheng's face immediately darkened, and he took back the cigarette he had offered halfway.

Before Yan Jiecheng could even lash out, Chen Dong, upon hearing Zhao Qing's words, immediately darkened his face and roared.

"Old Zhao, how can you talk like that? We're already grateful for this result, what more do you want?"

After being rebuked by Chen Dong, Zhao Qing chuckled awkwardly and remained silent.

Seeing that Chen Dong had spoken, Yan Jiecheng naturally couldn't say anything more, and just said with a cold face.

"Brother Chen, it's getting late. I still have a lot of work to do, so I won't keep you any longer."

Chen Dong knew that Zhao Qing's words were a bit excessive, so he couldn't stay any longer and could only smile and say something.

"Alright, you go ahead and get busy. When you have some free time, let's have a good drink together."

Then Chen Dong pulled Zhao Qing away from Yan Jiecheng's office.

Two days later, the demotion documents for Chen Dong and Zhao Qing were issued to them.

Both of them were transferred to the logistics warehouse as warehouse managers. The role of warehouse manager was completely different from their previous positions.

However, compared to those who were sent to farms, they were already very lucky.

At this time, the Security Department also welcomed its new Director, Nie Mingyuan.

Nie Mingyuan was personally brought to the security department by Li Huaide.

Upon arriving at the Security Department, Li Huaide first summoned Deputy Directors Yan Jiecheng and Zhou Yiping, and introduced them to the newly appointed Director Nie.

As Yan Jiecheng looked at the newly arrived head of security, scenes from the original drama involuntarily came to mind.

I remember that after Xu Damao became the deputy director, he had a quarrel with another deputy director.

The deputy director seems to be surnamed Nie, and from the conversation between Director Nie and his colleagues in the office, it can be inferred that this Deputy Director Nie has an extraordinary background.

Even when facing Xu Damao, who was at the height of his power at the time, he didn't take him seriously at all.

Could they be the same person? It's highly possible.

Currently, there is no one with the surname Nie among the senior management of the steel rolling mill.

Yan Jiecheng thought this to himself, but on the surface, he extended both hands to shake hands with the other person and said.

"Director Nie, welcome, welcome."

Compared to the enthusiastic Yan Jiecheng, Deputy Director Zhou Yiping was rather perfunctory, simply calling out "Director Nie" as a greeting.

To climb to this position, the ability to keep one's emotions hidden is a basic skill.

Director Nie responded politely to both Yan Jiecheng and Zhou Yiping.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Huaide instructed Yan Jiecheng and Zhou Yiping to cooperate well with Nie Mingyuan before leaving the security department.

After seeing Li Huaide off, Yan Jiecheng smiled and said to Nie Mingyuan.

"Director, do you think we should first convene a meeting with the people from all the departments of the Security Division to get to know each other?"

"Then I'll have to trouble Deputy Director Yan."

"It should."

Yan Jie then went to the confidential room next door and asked them to notify all departments to hold a meeting in the conference room.

The newly arrived Director Nie is quite amiable.

The meeting began with an affirmation of the Security Department's past work.

He then stated that the existing practices would be followed in the future, and no changes would be made for the time being.

Seeing that Nie Mingyuan didn't seem to be making any big moves as a new official, everyone at the meeting breathed a sigh of relief.

After the meeting ended, Yan Jiecheng took the documents concerning the factory security team, public security, and fire protection departments to Nie Mingyuan's office.

"Director Nie, these are the files for the three departments under my supervision: factory security, public security, and fire protection. Please take a look."

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was so sensible, Nie Mingyuan was very satisfied and invited Yan Jiecheng to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Deputy Director Yan, I'm new here and not familiar with many of the tasks in the Security Department yet. You'll have to remind me of them."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng quickly put on a big smile and said...

"Director, just tell me what you need, and I will do my best to complete it."

After exchanging pleasantries, Nie Mingyuan took a sip of tea before getting down to business.

"Brother Yan, is it alright if I address you like this?"

"No problem, many people in the factory call me that, it sounds friendly."

"Well, Brother Yan, when I came here, Director Li specifically instructed me to express his hope that the factory security team would be assigned to a certain committee. What do you think about this?"
