Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 118 Pork
Seeing Gao Lin's terrified expression, Yan Jiecheng changed the subject, pointing to the antique in front of them.

Who is responsible for delivering these items to the boiler room?

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was no longer dwelling on the previous topic, Gao Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied.

“When Captain Xu arranged for people to pile things up in this warehouse before, I mentioned to him that he should not pile them up for too long, since this warehouse has been abandoned for so long and there are potential safety hazards.”

"However, Captain Xu didn't care about this at all, and even said that if I couldn't stand it, he would help deliver it to the boiler room."

Upon hearing Gao Lin's complaints, Yan Jiecheng looked thoughtfully at the antiques in the warehouse, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

"Don't worry about this warehouse, I'll arrange for someone to handle it."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he left the abandoned warehouse with Gao Lin.

After the inspection, Yan Jiecheng returned to the abandoned warehouse alone.

After confirming that no one was nearby, Yan Jiecheng began picking through the abandoned warehouse.

Yan Jiecheng didn't know much about calligraphy, paintings, or furniture.

The so-called "picking and sorting" means picking out those that are severely damaged or obviously fake, while the rest are all put into their own portable supermarket.

Although it sounds simple, there were quite a lot of things in the warehouse. By the time Yan Jiecheng finished sorting through them, he was already covered in sweat.

Looking at the antiques piled up in the warehouse, more than half of them were gone. Although Yan Jiecheng was very tired, he was very happy.

Back in his office, Yan Jiecheng didn't forget to call Wang Daniu from the factory security team and ask him to arrange for a few people to take all the things he didn't want from the abandoned warehouse to the boiler room.

After doing all this, Yan Jiecheng leaned back in his chair leisurely and began to take stock of his gains.

Yan Jiecheng's personal space is not a dedicated storage space, but a supermarket.

Over the years, Yan Jiecheng has hardly used any of the supplies he carries with him from the supermarket.

In addition to the things he had previously obtained from the Lou family, his personal space now felt rather cramped.

Looking at all the things piled up in the space, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but frown.

How can this be? The wave has only just begun, and Xu Damao will continue to collect antiques. There's nowhere to store them, how can we manage? We must clear out the space as soon as possible.

The clothing and home appliance sections contain items that are completely out of date, which is quite troublesome and cannot be dealt with for the time being.

However, the goods in the vegetable and fruit section, the seafood section, the meat section, the cooked food section, and the grain and oil section are not much different from those in the outside world.

With a little processing, it can be taken to the black market or the pigeon market to be disposed of.

Clearing out these areas should be enough.

After taking stock of the supplies that needed to be disposed of, Yan Jiecheng went to Li Huaide's office.

"Oh, it's Jie Cheng. Please have a seat."

After sitting down, Yan Jiecheng first exchanged pleasantries with Li Huaide for a while, then lowered his voice and said.

"Sir, there's something I'd like to ask you."

Li Huaide glanced at Yan Jiecheng with disdain and said irritably.

"I knew you wouldn't come here with anything good. Go ahead and say it."

"Here's the thing, sir. A friend of mine came to me saying he has about a thousand kilograms of pork he wants me to sell. You know how I am, I don't have that kind of ability, so that's why I'm asking you for help."

Upon hearing that there was a thousand catties of pork, Li Huaide immediately stood up and said with a look of surprise.

"Jiecheng, are you sure you have a thousand catties of pork? You're not lying to me, are you?" Yan Jiecheng nodded and said.

"Sir, even if you gave me the courage, I wouldn't dare joke about something like this with you. It's just that the source of this pork is a bit..."

"Tell me more about it."

"Boss, I heard that this meat was originally intended for the black market. As you know, the black market has been cracking down on lately, so they've been stuck with this batch of goods. And somehow, after all these twists and turns, I don't know how it ended up coming to me."

After learning the whole story, Li Huaide pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Jiecheng, I'll call the finance department later and get you some money to buy this batch of pork."

"Then I'll talk to Old Feng at the meat processing plant and try to get another thousand catties of pork from him. Then, that thousand catties of pork will go directly into the meat processing plant's account."

"With these two thousand catties of pork, we can hold a feast and let all the factory workers have a good time."

After listening to Li Huaide's words, Yan Jiecheng also felt that this approach was indeed foolproof.

He immediately left Li Huaide's office and went to the finance department to collect the money.

Yan Jiecheng is in such a troublesome situation because there's no other way.

These days, pork is in very short supply. If you rashly sell it on the black market, it may cause unnecessary trouble. It's better to handle it this way.

After Yan Jiecheng collected the money from the finance office, he had just stepped out of the office building when he heard an announcement over the loudspeaker about a luncheon to be held the day after tomorrow.

This surprised Yan Jiecheng. Was Li Huaide's speed too fast?
I don't know how Li Huaide persuaded Director Feng of the meat processing plant.

After leaving the office building, Yan Jiecheng did not immediately deal with the pork issue.

Instead, he waited until after get off work before leisurely arriving at the transportation department.

After greeting the people in the transportation department, Yan Jiecheng went to the truck shed and sat in the driver's seat of the truck.

I must say, trucks these days are really hard to operate.

Yan Jiecheng fiddled with it for a long time but still couldn't get the truck started.

Finally, with the help of the transportation department staff on duty, the truck was able to be started.

After leaving the steel rolling mill, Yan Jiecheng drove his truck around the outskirts of the city.

He found a secluded corner, then took out the pork he had prepared beforehand from his spatial storage and placed it on the truck.

When Yan Jiecheng drove the truck back to the steel rolling mill, he saw Zheng Lei, the director of the logistics department, waiting there with two logistics staff members, looking very excited.

After Yan Jiecheng got out of the car, Zheng Lei told two of his men to carry the pork, while he himself came to Yan Jiecheng's side with a smile and said...

"Brother Yan, I didn't expect you to have this ability. When Director Li first mentioned this, I didn't believe it."

Faced with Zheng Lei's teasing, Yan Jiecheng quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for the other man, and then spoke.

"Brother Zheng, you're joking. It was just a coincidence. By the way, why did such a small matter bother you?"

"Hey, this is no small matter. It's a big deal that affects the meals of all the factory's employees. I don't trust the people below to handle it."

As the two chatted idly, two logistics staff members unloaded all the pork from the truck.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng greeted Zheng Lei and drove away in his truck.
