Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 49 Punishment
After venting his anger, Wang Shaoquan looked at Yan Jiecheng with a serious face and asked.

"Are they still playing cards in the cafeteria backyard?"

Yan Jiecheng quickly nodded in agreement.

After Wang Shaoquan received a definite answer, he immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed.

"Hello, is this the Security Department?"

……

"I'm Wang Shaoquan."

……

"Immediately send someone to the backyard of the cafeteria. There are people gambling there. Arrest them all and wait for processing."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shaoquan looked at Yan Jiecheng and said.

"Xiao Yan, don't worry, the factory will deal with this matter seriously. I will never allow such people to bring shame to our factory."

……

When Yan Jiecheng returned to the cafeteria, he saw that the security department had already arrested seven or eight people who were playing cards in the kitchen.

The chefs in charge all looked at Yan Jiecheng with hostility when they saw him, but Yan Jiecheng didn't care.

After these people left, Sun Jifeng came to Yan Jiecheng and said with a worried look on his face.

"Director, several chefs are away. What should we do for lunch tomorrow?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at the remaining ten or so people and said nonchalantly.

"Don't worry, everyone. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Just do your own thing."

Although he said so, Yan Jiecheng felt a little unsure, because among the remaining people, there were several who were in cahoots with the chef.

If these people cause trouble, things will be terrible.

In order to avoid mistakes at noon tomorrow, Yan Jiecheng took the remaining people to complete all the work that could be completed in advance in the afternoon.

Just when Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief, his immediate superior Yang Yiming actually came to the cafeteria kitchen.

The moment Yang Yiming saw Yan Jiecheng, he immediately shouted at him.

"Yan Jiecheng, I told you before that this matter needed to be considered carefully, but you actually dared to report it to a higher authority. Do you still respect me as the section chief?"

"Now, the backbone of the kitchen has been arrested and sent to the security department. What are you going to do about tomorrow's lunch? If it affects the factory's production tomorrow, you will be held accountable."

Yang Yiming's scolding quickly attracted the people in the kitchen to gather around.

Looking at the crowd gathered around, Yan Jiecheng didn't care and spoke to Yang Yiming slowly.

"Section Chief, the security department arrested eight people this time. We only have seven in the kitchen, and the remaining one is a worker in the workshop. And that's just for playing cards."

"There were some people watching from the sidelines, but the defense department turned a blind eye and didn't pursue them. Do you realize how egregious this matter is? Can you really explain it away as just entertainment and relaxation?"

"As for tomorrow's lunch, you don't have to worry. Even if the entire kitchen staff quits, I can just borrow a group of people from the steel mill. I think I still have the face to save them."

Yan Jiecheng's subsequent words were both a reassurance to Yang Yiming and a warning to the kitchen staff around him.

Yang Yiming was even more angry after being criticized by Yan Jiecheng, and pointed at Yan Jiecheng's nose and said.

"Before you came to the cafeteria, the atmosphere was very good. There were no such messes at all. But as soon as you arrived, something like this happened. Is this how you manage the kitchen? I tell you, if the factory investigates this matter, you will be guilty of a serious crime."

Yan Jiecheng shrugged and said indifferently.

"In order to change the atmosphere in the cafeteria, I am willing to bear the consequences of this matter. I don't care." Yang Yiming pointed at Yan Jiecheng, shaking with anger. He couldn't utter a word.

Just as Yang Yiming was scolding Yan Jiecheng, the senior management of the iron and steel plant also held a short meeting for this purpose.

The only participants in the meeting were the old secretary of the ironworks, and the three directors, the director and the deputy director. It could be called the Big Four Meeting of the ironworks.

The old secretary is about to retire, so naturally he will not express his opinion on such trivial matters.

The old secretary didn't say anything, so Director Yu, who was responsible for the overall work of the ironworks, had to speak first.

Although Director Yu severely criticized the incident, he did not say how the matter would be handled.

Everyone present was smart and obedient, knowing that Director Yu was trying to make a big deal out of a small matter.

After Director Yu finished speaking, he felt that he had made his attitude clear, and the two deputy directors would give him face and would not refute him on such a small matter.

However, to Director Yu's surprise, Wang Shaoquan said as soon as he finished speaking that employees who corrupted the atmosphere of the factory must be dealt with strictly, severely and quickly.

Later, Hou Chunsheng also agreed with Wang Shaoquan's opinion and expressed great dissatisfaction with Yang Yiming.

This sudden change completely confused Director Yu.

Although the two deputy directors' authority in the ironworks was not as great as his as the director, he was not the top boss of the ironworks either.

Normally, if the three directors and deputy directors reach a consensus, the old secretary who is about to retire will naturally not interfere.

But now the three of them have different opinions, so the old secretary needs to have the final say.

The old secretary looked left and right before speaking.

"Shao Quan has always been in charge of logistics. His opinions are quite reasonable. Let's handle it as he says."

With the old secretary's ruling, the result of the incident was quickly announced to the entire factory via radio.

As the organizers of this card game, the three chefs were directly fired from the factory.

All other participants were given a serious warning and kept in the factory on probation for one year.

As for Yan Jiecheng, considering that he had just been transferred to the iron and steel plant, he will not be held accountable.

But Yan Jiecheng's immediate superior, Yang Yiming, was in big trouble.

Wang Shaoquan was already quite dissatisfied with this direct subordinate of Director Yu's, and now that he had the chance, he naturally wouldn't let him go. He directly demoted Yang Yiming from Section Chief to Deputy Section Chief and transferred him from Logistics to Transportation Department.

Yang Yiming was just in the cafeteria and was furious with Yan Jiecheng's scolding. Now, when he heard the punishment announcement on the radio, he almost fainted from anger.

After hearing the content of the broadcast, everyone in the cafeteria kitchen looked at Yan Jiecheng differently.

Especially those who entered the cafeteria through Yang Yiming's relationship, there was a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at Yan Jiecheng.

The next day at work, because the cafeteria lacked a chef, Yan Jiecheng had to go himself.

You know, it used to take three people to prepare lunch, but now Yan Jiecheng can arrange it all by himself. The key is the big pot dishes that Yan Jiecheng cooks. He has also received great praise from the employees who come to eat.

This made Sun Jifeng and other people who wanted to learn cooking brighten their eyes. They also showed more respect for Yan Jiecheng.

After lunch was over, the few people who were taken away by the security department yesterday also returned to the kitchen.

Of course, the three chefs were fired and did not appear in the cafeteria.

Looking at the four timid people in front of him, Yan Jiecheng did not make things difficult for them and directly asked them to go back to work.
