Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 110 Official Transfer
Inside the Institute of Archaeology, Yan Jiekuang had just repaired a rattan chair. The lacquer craftsman Lao Liu was sitting next to him drinking tea and admiring their joint masterpiece. Then Qi Ye came in. Qi Ye was the gold and silversmith.

"Not bad, it was repaired in the past two days. The efficiency is really high. Xiao Yan, there is someone outside looking for you. He says he is your classmate, but the guards won't let him in because he doesn't have a letter of introduction." Qi Ye came in and said.

"Then I'll go out and take a look." Having said that, Yan Jiekuang put down the teacup and walked out.

When they arrived at the gate, they saw that it was Jin Jing, the old sixth roommate from the past. Yan Jiekuang smiled and greeted him, "How did you find the time to come here? Aren't you the head of the committee?"

Jin Jing also smiled and said, "I was passing by and came to see you. You are really strict."

"There's nothing we can do. This is a key unit. Is the school still in session?" Yan Jiekuang took out a box of cigarettes, opened it and handed over a cigarette.

Jin Jing took the cigarette and said, "In class, what we learn is different. Are you really not allowed to enter here?"

Yan Jiekuang lit it for him and said, "You really won't let me in. I can't do anything about it. Let's go and find a place to sit down."

Yan Jiekuang was also very sorry. The unit’s management was strict, and he wanted to find a place to talk with Jin Jing.

Jin Jing said, "No, I have something to talk to you about. By the way, do you still remember Li Huaide?"

Yan Jiekuang's heart skipped a beat. Li Huaide was still determined to commit evil. How did he find Jin Jing?

Yan Jiekuang said, "Remember, the logistics director of the steel mill you mentioned?"

"Not anymore, he's the top boss now. He asked me to ask about the Lou family, saying that we're classmates, so it would be better to ask him." Jin Jing said while smoking.

Yan Jiekuang was silent for a while, then said, "I know what he wants, but he won't give up even though everything has been shipped away. So, wait for me and come home with me."

Jin Jing looked at Yan Jiekuang in a somewhat puzzled manner, wondering what he was doing going home.

Yan Jiekuang said: "I will get you the evidence, and when the time comes, give it to him, and he will understand."

Yan Jiekuang borrowed Qi Ye's car and took Jin Jing back to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his mother. Yang Ruiping was surprised to see his son coming back so suddenly.

"Mom, this is my classmate Jin Jing. I'm back to get something and will be leaving soon. Please pour me a glass of water. Come, Jin Jing, come in and sit down." Yan Jiekuang said as he led Jin Jing into the house.

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Jin Jing. I'm Jie Kuang. Sorry to bother you." Jin Jing greeted Yang Ruiping.

Yang Ruiping put away the work in his hands and said, "Don't bother me. Come in and sit down."

Yan Jiekuang said to Jin Jing, "Please sit down first. My room is next to you." Then Yan Jiekuang walked out.

Not long after, Yan Jiekuang took out a newspaper and handed it to Jin Jing. Jin Jing took it and looked at the article that Yan Jiekuang was pointing to.

After reading it, Jin Jing frowned and said, "This Li Huaide, what kind of fake news is this? What the hell is he looking for?"

Jin Jing was a little angry. Yan Jiekuang guessed that he probably felt the duck in his hand flew away.

Jin Jing held the newspaper and said, "I still have something to say, so I'll leave first and say sorry to my aunt."

After saying that, Jin Jing took the newspaper and left. Yan Jiekuang looked at Jin Jing who was going away and let out a sigh of relief, hoping that this matter would end here.

Yang Ruiping just came out with the water, and when he saw the person leaving, he asked, "Left? Why don't you sit for a while? This is freshly brewed tea."

Yan Jiekuang smiled and looked at his mother and said, "Let's go. We are not on the same path together. You are just getting a good deal for my old son." Then he took the cup of water from his mother's hand.

Steel rolling mill director's office
An old man pointed at Li Huaide's nose and cursed, saying, "Don't you have anything to do? You haven't figured out the matter yet, and you go to the Jin family. This time it's okay, it's just a door-to-door fee. If you sit down and talk, do you know how much you will have to pay?"

Li Huaide didn't dare to breathe, and said, "I'm sorry, Dad, I'm just anxious. Isn't this true? I have seen it."

"Everything you see is here, take a look." The old man sat on the sofa and handed the newspaper to Li Huaide. There was also a document behind it with the word "confidential" stamped on it.

Li Huaide sat behind his desk, opened the newspaper, and looked at it with a surprised expression. Then he opened the confidential document, read it carefully, and sat down in a chair dejectedly. The old man said, "The Lou family held three auctions in Hong Kong Island, with a total of 329 family collections, and the auction proceeds reached more than million US dollars. You have been tossing around in this factory for more than a year, what the hell are you doing?"

Li Huaide said frustratedly: "I don't know either. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered at all."

"Okay, be steady, find more scapegoats and don't expose yourself. I'm leaving. Give me the documents, I have to return them." The old man stood up, Li Huaide handed him the documents and respectfully sent the old man out.

Just after the old man left, Xu Damao came in and asked directly, "Any news?"

Li Huaide looked at his capable assistant and said, "I got it. You can have a look too." Then he handed the newspaper to Xu Damao. A few minutes later, Xu Damao also said frustratedly, "I was wondering why I couldn't find it. It's all shipped out. Where can I find it?"

"Forget it, let's just leave this matter at an end. You keep an eye on Old Nie's people. I think he wants to turn things around." Li Huaide said, diverting Xu Damao's attention.

"Don't worry, Director, I'm keeping an eye on it. So all the people involved in this matter will be withdrawn?" Xu Damao said.

"Withdraw."

At the end of the day's work, Director Dong found Yan Jiekuang in the reception room and said, "Xiao Yan, is your work going well?"

"That's great. I have to thank Director Dong for giving me the opportunity to practice." Yan Jiekuang said.

"Xiao Yan, this is what happened. Director Qu of the institute came to me. He admires your work and your craftsmanship. He wants to transfer you to the institute. Since you are a college student but have not graduated yet, he will temporarily pay you 41.5 yuan, which is the salary of an intermediate worker. Do you think you would consider taking the exam?"

Yan Jiekuang said with a delighted expression: "What you mean is that I was assigned in advance, so why not consider it? I like this job. But what about the university?"

Director Dong said, "You don't have to worry about the university, but you still need to take the graduation exam and the graduation thesis. They are eager for you to graduate early so that they can make room for you. You don't know, but many people have come to the school. Okay, I won't tell you about the many more. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of your file for you."

"Thank you, Director Dong." Yan Jiekuang expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

West Wing of the Siheyuan
Yang Ruiping took Qingqing to play in the yard.

Yan Jiekuang walked over with a schoolbag on his back and a piece of luggage on his back.

Yang Ruiping was startled and hurried over to ask, "Son, what's wrong? Did something happen at school?"

Yan Jiekuang looked at his nervous mother and said cheerfully, "It's okay. I just won't live there anymore."

Yang Ruiping took the luggage and said, "I'm glad you're okay. This was a scary day."

Yan Jiekuang pulled his mother back to the house, and Qingqing followed them in.

"I have been transferred to the research institute and am considered a formal employee, but I am still studying at the university. I plan to write my graduation thesis next year." Yan Jiekuang told Yang Ruiping with a smile.

Yang Ruiping was delighted and said, "What a good thing! Will I get paid?"

"Well, for an intermediate worker, it's forty-one dollars and fifty cents. But the university subsidy will be stopped." Yan Jiekuang said.

Yang Ruiping was happy and said, "That's great. This will make life more comfortable at home. It's a good thing. Mom will go buy some vegetables and make you something delicious. Just take care of Qingqing." After that, Yang Ruiping went out with the basket of vegetables.

Yan Jiekuang hugged Qingqing and asked, "Did you bully Tiantian?"

"Uncle, I can't find it, how can I bully it?" Qingqing said with an unhappy look on his face.

"He is still young and afraid of being frightened. When he grows up, he will play with you. Go ahead, your mother is waving at you." Yan Jiekuang said. He saw Yu Li standing at the door of the east wing, looking like she wanted to shout but didn't.

Qingqing ran back home.
