Siheyuan: Start with a big car

This Lao Wang, although he has good abilities, he has this bad habit of not knowing how to unite.

Director Yang frowned and reprimanded in a stern tone: "Deputy Director Wang, no matter what happened today, you have a great responsibility. As a factory leader, you should set an example and maintain the order and image of the factory, instead of conflicting with others here and causing such a big disturbance. Everyone knows your attitude towards the new energy vehicle plan. Don't think I don't know your little calculations. If your personal ideas delay the development of the factory, can you bear this responsibility?"

Deputy Director Wang opened his mouth and wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start. He could only stand there with a look of grievance and anxiety on his face, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Director Yang had a stern expression, his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty. He said loudly, "Deputy Director Wang, you should be suspended from work for a while to reflect on yourself! Don't interfere in any affairs of the steel mill until you have thought things through thoroughly."

When Deputy Director Wang heard this, he was shocked. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief: "Director, you can't do this! I'm really wronged. You can't suspend me!" His voice was trembling and his eyes were full of fear.

He hurriedly took a few steps forward and tried to plead with Director Yang: "Director, I have different opinions on this new energy vehicle project, but I have always been doing it for the good of the factory. What happened today is really not what you think. How could I harass a female comrade just to stop the project? You have to believe me!"

Director Yang was unmoved. He waved his hand and interrupted Deputy Director Wang: "It's too late to say anything now. This incident has already caused a very bad impact in the factory. You will be suspended first and we will talk about it after the investigation is clear. If it is really a misunderstanding, the factory will naturally give you an explanation."

Deputy Director Wang was like a deflated ball. He knew that once Director Yang made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. His eyes became dim, and his heart was filled with despair and unwillingness.

"Damn you Li Weidong, this is definitely your conspiracy. Don't worry, I will never let you go just like that!"

Although Deputy Director Wang was unwilling, he had to turn around and leave.

At this time, Li Weidong also learned the news

When he saw that Liang Ladi was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. He walked quickly to Liang Ladi, his eyes full of concern: "Ladi, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Liang Ladi looked at Li Weidong, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said playfully: "Weidong, don't worry. You are the only man in the world who can hurt me. Others don't have that ability."

Li Weidong immediately understood that this was just Liang Ladi's plan.

"This woman, sometimes, can still do some serious work."

...

In the following period, with the cooperation of Liang Ladi and the machinery factory, Li Weidong's new energy vehicle plan went smoothly.

However, because the technology required for new energy vehicles has exceeded the technological level of this year, it will take some time to complete the manufacturing work.

On the other hand, Yan Jiecheng's life is very good now. Since he got close to Zhong Yuemin, he hangs out with Zhong Yuemin every day, goes ice skating with him, and plays with women with him.
And Yan Jiecheng's luck seems to be surprisingly good.

During an activity, he met a girl named Zhang Li, who was like a bright pearl, and her beauty was dazzling.

Not only does she have delicate features and a slender figure, but she also exudes a unique temperament in her every move. More importantly, Zhang Li's parents are both leaders, which is like a shortcut to the pinnacle of power for Yan Jiecheng.

He was full of joy and fantasized that as long as he could marry Zhang Li, with the help of his father-in-law's influence, he would be able to rise rapidly in the factory, become a leader, and live an enviable life from then on. He was immersed in this beautiful fantasy and was attentive to Zhang Li every day.

The relationship between the two became closer and closer, and Yan Jiecheng felt that it was time to discuss their future.

That day, Yan Jiecheng dressed up carefully and came to Donglaishun with Zhang Li with great expectations. The hot pot in the store was steaming and fragrant, but Yan Jiecheng had no intention of tasting it. He rubbed his hands nervously, looked at Zhang Li's beautiful but slightly indifferent face, took a deep breath, and said with courage: "Zhang Li, I... I have something to tell you, I... I want to date you."

Zhang Li was casually using her chopsticks to pick at the food in her bowl. When she heard this, she stopped what she was doing and raised her head slightly, her eyes full of disdain. She looked at Yan Jiecheng and raised a mocking smile: "Yan Jiecheng, don't you look at yourself? You are so poor, what can your family give you? Isn't your father just an old teacher? Do you think you are worthy of me?"

Yan Jiecheng suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him from head to toe. His face flushed red, and he felt ashamed and angry: "Zhang Li, I really like you. I don't have much now, but I will be successful in the future."

Zhang Li snorted contemptuously: "In the future? Who can predict what will happen in the future? I don't want to bet my future on someone like you." After that, she put down her chopsticks, stood up, and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng was extremely anxious. He didn't care about anything else. He stood up and chased in the direction Zhang Li left. He had just run a few steps when a waiter suddenly rushed over and blocked his way with his hand.

"Hey! You can't leave. You haven't paid yet!" the waiter shouted at the top of his voice. The voice was so sharp and piercing that it was particularly harsh in the noisy store.

Yan Jiecheng was anxious and angry, his face flushed and he shouted, "I already paid when I ordered the food, don't stop me!"

But the waiter refused to give in. He sneered at the corner of his mouth and his eyes showed a rudeness: "Hmph, you've paid? That won't work. Your female companion broke one of our chairs when she left just now. This bill is on you." As he said that, he pointed to the chair next to him.

Yan Jiecheng looked in the direction he pointed and saw the trick at a glance. The chair was standing alone far away from the path Zhang Li took. The tables and chairs around it were all in good order, with no signs of being bumped into. Yan Jiecheng frowned and angrily said to the waiter, "Aren't you blind? She couldn't touch the chair the way she walked. Don't try to blackmail me!"

When the waiter heard this, his eyes widened and he approached Yan Jiecheng aggressively: "Who are you trying to blackmail? I saw it all, it was her who did it. If you don't compensate for this chair today, don't even think about leaving!" His voice became louder and louder, attracting the attention of many diners around.

The diners around saw this scene and knew it clearly. They knew that the waiters in the state-owned restaurant often bullied others by relying on their status. But everyone was angry but dared not say anything, just watched silently, fearing that they would get into trouble.

Yan Jiecheng was extremely annoyed at this moment. He gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger and asked the waiter: "Then tell me, how much do you want to pay for this chair?"

When the waiter heard this, a smug smile appeared on his face, and greed was in his eyes: "Humph, this chair is not an ordinary chair, it is an antique, and it is very old. Originally, you should pay more, but today I will give you a discount, so I will give you ten dollars."

Yan Jiecheng widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "Ten dollars? You are blackmailing me! How can this broken chair be an antique?" He was so angry that he was shaking all over. His monthly salary was not much, and these ten dollars were not a small sum for him.

The waiter didn't give in at all. He crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "What do you know? This is the treasure of our store. It's worth the price. If you don't pay for it, I will have someone send you to the police station and sue you for vandalism."

In the past, Yan Jiecheng had a hot temper and would have fought with the waiter if he encountered such a blackmail. He had been on the streets for so long, how could he bear such humiliation. But now it was different. He was determined to catch up with Zhang Li and couldn't let her go like this, otherwise his plan would be ruined.

Yan Jiecheng frowned, staring at the unreasonable waiter. After taking a deep breath, he said, "I don't have time to argue with you here. Let me tell you, I'm with Zhong Yuemin. If you know what's good for you, don't bother me here." There was a hint of warning in his tone, hoping that the name "Zhong Yuemin" could intimidate the waiter.

The waiter had a look of disdain on his face. He pouted and yelled, "Zhong Yuemin? I've never heard of him. What a big shot he is! Don't use Zhong Yuemin to scare me. Here, I have the final say. If you don't take out ten dollars today, don't even think about stepping out of this door!" As he spoke, he put his hands on his hips and blocked Yan Jiecheng. His arrogant look was enough to make people angry.

Yan Jieben was already extremely anxious, and when he heard the waiter insulting Zhong Yuemin and pressing him, he immediately became furious. His eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and his fists unconsciously clenched: "You are a fool who doesn't know how to live or die. If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. I won't play with you today!"

Yan Jiecheng struggled to break free from the waiter's entanglement and rushed out like a gust of wind. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to catch up with Zhang Li and not let her leave like this.

The waiter's face turned red with anxiety, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "Hurry up and help us! Someone is eating and dashing and hitting others!" The shout echoed in the restaurant like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake.

Instantly, several strong security officers rushed out from all corners of the hotel. They chased Yan Jiecheng in the direction of his escape like wolves and tigers, shouting as they chased him: "Stop! Don't run!"

Yan Jiecheng heard the shouts and hurried footsteps behind him, and thought to himself that something was wrong, but at this time he had no way to retreat, so he could only run forward desperately. However, the security officers were very fast and caught up with him in a short while. One of them suddenly pounced on Yan Jiecheng, grabbed his shoulders, and pulled him back hard.

Yan Jiecheng staggered and almost fell. With his eyes wide open, he turned around and punched the security officer. "Don't mess around! I'm not a freeloader." He shouted as he hit him.

The security officers didn't care about that. They just saw Yan Jiecheng trying to run away and hitting people, so they rushed over. Several people wrestled together, punching and kicking each other. Although Yan Jiecheng had been on the streets before and had some fighting skills, he gradually became powerless in the face of the siege of several security officers. He was hit several times in the face and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.
Yan Jiecheng was held tightly by the security officers, unable to move, his face full of anger and unwillingness. At this time, the hotel's public manager, Manager Chen, rushed over after hearing the news. He was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit and looked serious.

As soon as the waiter saw Manager Chen, he immediately pretended to be aggrieved, ran up to Manager Chen, pointed at Yan Jiecheng and cried, "Manager Chen, you're here! This kid is too outrageous. His girlfriend broke a chair in our store, and that chair is so valuable! I asked him to compensate, but not only did he not compensate, he also hit me. You have to help me!"

Manager Chen frowned and glanced at Yan Jiecheng. He knew that the waiter was making trouble and framing Yan Jiecheng, but he still chose to protect his employees. He cleared his throat and said slowly, "Young man, tell me, what's going on?"

Yan Jiecheng glared at the waiter angrily and shouted, "Manager, he is slandering me! My partner didn't break the chair at all. The way my partner walked couldn't touch the chair. He is deliberately blackmailing me. Moreover, I had already paid for the meal, but he still stopped me from leaving. I got anxious and had a conflict with him."

Manager Chen was unmoved. He waved his hands and said, "No matter what, my employees say you have a problem, and this is a state-owned restaurant. We can't let such acts of destroying property and beating people go unpunished. How about this? You are young and it has not been easy for you. You pay 15 yuan and we will let it go."

Yan Jiecheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Fifteen dollars? You are blackmailing me! I didn't break anything, and I won't pay for this unfair money."

Manager Chen's face darkened. "Humph, if you don't pay, then we'll have no choice but to send you to the police station. By then, it won't be as simple as just paying some money."

Yan Jiecheng is not a fool. He has calmed down and realized his embarrassing situation.

If there is no stain on him, it doesn't matter if he is sent to the police station. They will definitely be able to investigate it thoroughly by then.

But Yan Jiefang has been on the streets for so many years, how could there be no problems?

If he was caught and taken to the police station, and all those bad things he hadn't been able to get rid of before were investigated, he would be in big trouble.

"Boss, this is all a misunderstanding. I promise I have no intention of not paying the money."

Hearing this, Manager Chen knew that Yan Jiecheng had given in, and he did not press his opponent any further.
After all, the waiter had extorted money from others through such things, and if he was really sent to the police station, he would be in trouble. (End of this chapter)
