Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 117 Warning
Upon hearing Nie Mingyuan's words, Yan Jiecheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking, "Sure enough, this is the first thing."

Yan Jiecheng immediately smiled wryly.

"Director, to be honest, Director Li brought up this matter with me a few days ago, and I politely declined at the time."

"Oh, is there a problem?"

Seeing that Nie Mingyuan was pretending to be confused, Yan Jiecheng simply stopped hiding his intentions and spoke directly.

"Director, I haven't been in the security department for very long, and I haven't even established myself yet. If you just agree to separate the factory protection team like this, how can I explain it to my subordinates?"

Nie Mingyuan also knew that this matter was a hot potato.

If the factory security team is separated, not only will the departments below object, but even the factory security team itself will probably not be happy.

After all, when they were with the factory security team at that committee, they did all the dirty and hard work; it wasn't as comfortable as it is now.

After hesitating for a moment, Nie Mingyuan finally spoke.

"How about we transfer a few key members from the factory security team? What do you think?"

Yan Jiecheng dared not express an opinion on this matter, and could only speak vaguely.

"Perhaps we should ask the team members for their opinions?"

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Give me an answer as soon as possible."

When Yan Jiecheng came out of Nie Mingyuan's office, he saw that the heads of each department were already waiting at the door.

Yan Jiecheng glanced around and noticed that Zhou Yiping was not among them.

Although Yan Jiecheng and Zhou Yiping were not on good terms, seeing how stubborn he was and how dare he go against the new director, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but shake his head.

In the afternoon, Yan Jiecheng went to the factory protection team and found Wang Daniu.

(Because of Wang Daniu's outstanding performance at the staff meeting a few days ago, he is now the captain of the factory security team.)
"Da Niu, how did your chat with the new Director Nie go this morning?"

Yan Jiecheng was just asking casually, but Wang Daniu clearly misunderstood Yan Jiecheng's meaning.

He immediately stood up, somewhat embarrassed, and said...

"Director Yan, I've just reported on the basic situation of the factory security team to Director Nie..."

Seeing Wang Daniu's flustered state, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but chuckle twice, then beckoned for him to sit down.

"I was just saying that. It's normal for you to report to the new director. I'm here for other things."

After Wang Daniu sat down at Yan Jiecheng's signal, he quickly took out a cigarette, handed it to him, and said...

"Director, couldn't you just make a phone call if you needed anything? Why did you have to come all the way here in person?"

Yan Jiecheng lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said.

"It's not a long walk, but it's better to talk to you in person."

Yan Jie then told Nie Mingyuan about his plan to select several key members of the factory protection team to join a certain committee.

Upon hearing this, Wang Daniu couldn't help but speak up.

"Director, anyone with eyes can see that once he gets to this committee, he'll probably be doing a lot of unethical things. The team members probably won't be happy about that, will they?"

"I know, but once you join a certain committee, the benefits will definitely be far better than those of the factory security team. Go ask around, and you should find someone willing to join."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng say this, Wang Daniu couldn't refuse, so he got up and went to the training ground to inquire.

About half an hour later, Wang Daniu returned to his office.

Upon seeing that Yan Jiecheng was still waiting in his office, Wang Daniu quickly went over to greet him.

"Director, I've asked around, and eight people in the team are willing to go to a certain committee. Here's the list."

Yan Jiecheng took the list, glanced at it, and then said.

Have you explained the pros and cons of joining a certain committee to everyone?

"I told you." "That's good then."

Yan Jiecheng took the list and went to Nie Mingyuan's office again.

Looking at the list that Yan Jiecheng handed over, Nie Mingyuan said with great satisfaction.

"Brother Yan, your efficiency is indeed impressive. I will report to Director Li right away."

"Director, you flatter me. It's all I should do."

After leaving Nie Mingyuan's office, Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he was secretly praying that he could handle the matter in a way that would satisfy Li Huaide.

……

The next day, Li Huaide issued a transfer order, transferring eight members of the factory protection team to a certain committee.

After the eight people arrived at a certain committee, Li Huaide expanded the factory security team into a 30-person patrol team, using these eight members as the core. (This wasn't the original name; please bear with it for censorship purposes.)
The patrol team leader was Xu Damao, an old acquaintance of Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was somewhat taken aback when he learned of this news.

That's strange. Shouldn't the first captain be Liu Haizhong? How come it's Xu Damao?
Could it be that I let Xu Damao come into Li Huaide's sights ahead of time, which is why Liu Haizhong did not realize his dream?

……

That day, Yan Jiecheng, as usual, led by Gao Lin, the head of the fire protection department, to conduct a fire inspection of the steel rolling mill's warehouse.

When they arrived at an abandoned warehouse, Yan Jiecheng stopped and looked at Gao Lin beside him, asking a question.

"Gao Lin, I remember this warehouse was abandoned, right? Why do I see so many things piled up inside?"

Seeing this, Gao Lin led Yan Jiecheng into the abandoned warehouse, saying as they walked.

"Director, it's like this, this warehouse has been abandoned for a long time, but it was requisitioned by Captain Xu of the patrol team a few days ago."

The scene inside the abandoned warehouse completely stunned Yan Jiecheng.

"Send it to the boiler room?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at Gao Lin in surprise and asked. After Gao Lin confirmed, Yan Jiecheng looked at the antiques in front of him.

However, as Yan Jiecheng watched, he felt something was amiss.

He couldn't help but look at Gao Lin beside him and ask.

"Why are they all calligraphy and paintings, and furniture?"

Faced with Yan Jiecheng's question, Gao Lin looked around and, after seeing that there was no one else around, cautiously replied.

Yan Jiecheng frowned upon hearing this and looked at Gao Lin.

"How do you know this?"

Gao Lin chuckled twice before saying something apologetically.

"Chief, I have a nephew who works in the patrol team. He told me all this."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Gao Lin with a serious expression and said.

“Gao Lin, although we haven’t known each other for long, you followed me when I was in the fire protection department. It was I who suggested to the factory that you be the head of the fire protection department. I think we have a pretty good relationship.”

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's serious expression, Gao Lin quickly chimed in to agree.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng continued.

"Gao Lin, it didn't come easy for you to get to where you are today, so you must always remember to be careful with your words and actions. Don't say things you shouldn't say, and don't meddle in things that aren't your business. Understand?"

Gao Lin was startled and quickly expressed his opinion.

"Director, don't worry, I'm only saying this to you. I'm very tight-lipped about it to anyone else."
