Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 48 Report
In the next few days, Yan Jiecheng still did not interfere in anything in the cafeteria, but just watched quietly from the side.

The people in the kitchen were originally a little worried that Yan Jiecheng would make a big move as a new official, but after seeing that he didn't care about anything, they became more lawless.

Even after lunch, several chefs would bring a group of people to play cards in the backyard. They played quite a lot, and the key was that they played until they got off work.

Originally, Yan Jiecheng planned to observe for a while and make adjustments after he was fully familiar with the situation in the cafeteria.

But now, their behavior has touched Yan Jiecheng's bottom line, and Yan Jiecheng will naturally not sit idly by.

However, he also knew that he had just arrived at the ironworks and his words were useless, so he went to find his immediate superior, Section Chief Yang Yiming.

However, after Yan Jiecheng told Yang Yiming what he saw, Yang Yiming did not care about it.

They even said that playing cards occasionally for entertainment was fine. However, the two of them had an argument in the office over this.

When Yan Jiecheng came out of Yang Yiming's office angrily, before he even walked out of the office building, he was pulled to a corner by Ding Nianrong.

Ding Nianrong took out a cigarette, lit it for Yan Jiecheng, and then spoke slowly.

"I heard you arguing with the section chief next door. What was it about?"

Yan Jiecheng had no intention of keeping this matter secret, and he could use it to test Ding Nianrong's background.

So he told everyone that some people were playing cards and gambling in the cafeteria.

"Brother Ding, I don't care what they want to do after get off work, but playing cards during work hours is not allowed. If this continues, the atmosphere of the entire cafeteria will be corrupted by these people."

After hearing this, Ding Nianrong couldn't help but frown.

"I've heard before that people often gather in the cafeteria to play cards, but I thought it was just a rumor. These people are really bold. But it's no use asking Section Chief Yang about this. Do you know that our cafeteria is not big, so why are there so many people?"

After seeing Yan Jiecheng shaking his head, Ding Nianrong continued.

"There are three head chefs in the cafeteria. One is Section Chief Yang's brother-in-law, and one is Section Chief Yang's cousin by seniority. I heard the last one got in through Section Chief Yang's connections. Many of the kitchen helpers also have connections with Section Chief Yang. Do you think Section Chief Yang can handle them based on these connections?"

After hearing Ding Nianrong's words, Yan Jiechengdu was stunned.

No wonder, when Yan Jiecheng was strolling in the cafeteria a few days ago, he felt that the cooking skills of the three chefs were terrible. It turned out that they were all relatives of the chefs.

I must find a way to change all this, otherwise my position as director will become a mere decoration.

"Brother Ding, do you have any good ideas about this matter?"

Seeing Ding Nianrong smiling without saying anything, Yan Jiecheng realized that he was asking for benefits, so he quickly spoke.

"Brother Ding, if you're not busy, I'll treat you and we can go out for a drink. What do you think?"

Ding Nianrong waved his hand quickly and said.

"Brother, please don't be polite with me. My family is very strict and doesn't allow me to drink."

This excuse is amazing. A man in his forties actually said that his family is strict. He really has no shame at all.

It seems that I was wrong. Could it be... Yan Jiecheng had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile.

"Brother Ding, Director Li from the steel mill will be coming to the ironworks for a while. Director Li values ​​talents like Brother Ding very much. If Brother Ding is interested, I can introduce him to you. What do you think?"

At Ding Nianrong's age, he naturally wanted to go further. The reason why he was trying to curry favor with Yan Jiecheng was for this reason, so he began to analyze the situation to Yan Jiecheng readily.

"Brother, you'll have to approach higher-ups about this, but who to approach is a bit tricky." "Our factory's old secretary is retiring soon. He definitely won't be able to take care of this mess. Asking Director Yu, Yang Yiming was promoted by Director Yu, so he definitely won't work either. So you can only choose one of the two deputy directors."

"Deputy Factory Director Hou Chunsheng is in charge of production. Deputy Factory Director Wang Shaoquan is in charge of logistics, transportation, and warehousing."

At this point, Yan Jiecheng already understood, but Yang Yiming was Director Yu's man, and Wang Shaoquan was the deputy director. Would it really work to ask him for help?

When Yan Jiecheng expressed his concerns, Ding Nianrong explained.

"Jie Cheng, in the past, the two deputy factory directors would definitely not confront the factory director over such a small matter. But now, with our factory undergoing a period of great change, I believe they will definitely use this as an opportunity to cause trouble."

Looking at Ding Nianrong's confident look, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Is this guy really just a middle-aged man who is frustrated in the logistics department?

Not many people probably knew that Li Huaide was transferred here, but when I just mentioned it, the other party was not surprised at all.

Also, since the other party is so clear about the situation at the ironworks and has made such a detailed analysis, it shows that he has some ability. How could he be just a clerk now?

But despite the doubts, the most important thing now is to solve the problem of the cafeteria.

After parting with Ding Nianrong, Yan Jiecheng came to the door of Wang Shaoquan’s office on the second floor.

After obtaining permission, Yan Jiecheng entered the office.

"Director Wang, I'm the new canteen director. I'm here to report to you on my work."

Canteen director? Such a trivial position, reporting to a deputy factory director like me? What a joke.

Just when Wang Shaoquan was about to scold Yan Jiecheng, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was transferred from the steel rolling mill. And it was arranged by Li Huaide, the future head of the iron and steel mill.

Thinking of this, Wang Shaoquan suppressed his dissatisfaction and said with a smile.

"Oh, so you're the new canteen director transferred from the steel mill. You're truly a promising young man. Sit down."

After Yan Jiecheng sat down, Wang Shaoquan continued.

"Xiao Yan, the conditions in the ironworks are much tougher than those in the steel mills. Are you used to it? If you have any difficulties, please tell me, whether it's work or life. I will definitely find a way to solve them for you."

After hearing what Wang Shaoquan said, Yan Jiecheng quickly told him the whole purpose of his visit.

"Director, this is what's going on. Several chefs in the cafeteria are playing cards with a group of people in the backyard during work hours. They're playing quite a bit, and this not only affects work but also corrupts the atmosphere of our factory. I stepped forward to stop them, but no one listened."

"Later, I went to our section chief to report this, but he didn't care. I really had no choice but to report this to you."

Wang Shaoquan knew very well why Yang Yiming protected the canteen.

Just as Ding Nianrong said, if it were an ordinary day, he would definitely not care about this matter.

But now the old secretary is retiring, and his successor is Li Huaide from the steel rolling mill, so the situation is different.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Shaoquan suddenly stood up and slammed the table and said.

"It's really lawless! Those people are too presumptuous. This is simply smearing our factory..."
