Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 72 Fire Department

After coming out of Li Huaide’s office, Yan Jiecheng went to the personnel department with the transfer order.

The middle-aged clerk who handled the procedures for Yan Jiecheng was very surprised when he saw Yan Jiecheng.

"Master Yan?"

Yan Jiecheng used to work in the canteen of a steel rolling mill, and many people knew him.

Yan Jiecheng felt that the other person looked familiar, so he smiled and said.

"It's me. I've just been transferred back to the steel mill and came here to handle the paperwork."

After receiving Yan Jiecheng's transfer order and looking at the file, the other party's expression became even more surprised.

"Yan...Section Chief Yan? Master Yan, you're now the section chief?"

"It's just luck."

"Section Chief Yan, I can't handle your paperwork here. Please wait a moment. I'll call our section chief."

Not long after, the clerk invited their section chief to the office.

"It's Section Chief Yan. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

The visitor was a middle-aged man in his forties, his surname was Chen, and his name was Chen Dong.

Originally, Yan Jiecheng worked in the third canteen and often went to the private room to toast because he was cooking family banquets. At that time, he often met Chen Dong.

Later, when Chen Dong's son got married, Yan Jiecheng was still in charge of cooking.

After seeing who was coming, Yan Jiecheng quickly stretched out his hand and said.

"Section Chief Chen, I didn't expect such a small matter to alarm you. I'm really sorry."

Chen Dong also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Yan Jie.

"Hahaha, Chief Yan, what's the big deal? You're being polite. Come on, sit in my office for a while."

Although the Personnel Department is a department-level unit, it has always been a low-level position with high qualifications. Chen Dong, the head of the Personnel Department, is a serious division-level cadre.

Facing Chen Dong's invitation, Yan Jiecheng readily agreed, and then the two of them came to Chen Dong's office.

Chen Dong was still very enthusiastic towards Yan Jiecheng. After warmly inviting Yan Jiecheng to sit down, he personally made tea for him.

"Chief Yan, this is authentic Wuyi Mountain Zhengshan Xiaozhong. It took me a lot of effort to get two taels. Try it."

Yan Jiecheng took a bite and immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Yes, the taste is mellow and sweet, it is indeed a good tea."

In fact, Yan Jiecheng knew nothing about tea and could not taste any characteristics of this tea at all.

However, everyone carried the sedan chair, and since the other party said that the tea was precious, Yan Jiecheng naturally had to praise it.

Chen Dong also said with a smile on his face.

"Chief Yan, I didn't expect that although you are young, you are so knowledgeable about tea. We should talk more about it in the future."

"That's natural."

After the greetings, Chen Dong started to handle the procedures for Yan Jiecheng.

After all the information was archived, Chen Dong continued.

"Chief Yan, your paperwork has been completed. According to the factory's decision, you will be assigned to the Fire Department. I'll take you to get your uniform first."

Then Chen Dong took Yan Jiecheng to the logistics warehouse and got a teacup, lunch box, and work clothes for Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng's work uniform is different from those of the workers in the workshop. It is not a cadre uniform, but is similar to a military uniform, except without epaulettes.

"Chief Yan, please change your clothes first. This will also be beneficial for your future work."

In response to Chen Dong's reminder, Yan Jiecheng followed his advice and after changing his clothes, he followed Chen Dong to the office of the director of the Security Department.

"Director Wu."

"Section Chief Chen, what brings you to this little temple of mine?"

Facing Director Wu's teasing, Chen Dong smiled and said.

"Director Wu, this is Comrade Yan Jiecheng, our factory's newly appointed head of the Fire Department. I'm bringing him here to report to you."

Director Wu looked to be in his fifties or sixties, a very capable old man. He looked Yan Jiecheng up and down carefully and said with some dissatisfaction.

"What's going on at the factory? They've even sent a kid to the security department. Is there no one left in the factory?"

I have to say that Director Wu is really awesome. He actually spoke like this in front of Chen Dong.

However, Chen Dong seemed not to have heard what Director Wu said. He remained calm and said with a smile.

"Director Wu, this is the factory's decision. Please don't make things difficult for us who are here to handle this."

"You're not a good person either."

Chen Dong smiled awkwardly, then said to Yan Jiecheng.

"I'll urge the Housing Management Department to sort out your housing problem as soon as possible. You can stay in the guesthouse for the next two days."

"No problem, thank you, Chief Chen."

After giving Yan Jiecheng his instructions, Chen Dong looked at Director Wu and said.

"Director Wu, I'm leaving the person in your hands. Please take care of the arrangements. I'm leaving now."

Chen Dong slipped away right after he finished speaking.

Director Wu looked at Chen Dong's departing back, muttered "little bastard", then looked at Yan Jiecheng and said.

"I don't know how you got to the Security Department, but I want to tell you that the Security Department is not a place to slack off. If I find out that you're being cunning, I won't let you off easily."

"Yes, Director."

After warning Yan Jiecheng, Director Wu picked up the hat from the hanger, put it on, glanced at Yan Jiecheng and said.

"Come on, I'll take you around the fire department."

Although Director Wu is quite old, he is very familiar with the work of the Fire Department.

He introduced it to Yan Jiecheng as he walked.

The Fire Department has five staff members, who are mainly responsible for detecting fire hazards in the factory and inspecting fire-fighting facilities on weekdays.

In addition, it also has a 15-person fire brigade under its jurisdiction. The captain of the fire brigade is usually the section chief, and that is the training ground for the fire brigade.

As they were talking, they came to the fire department's office.

Director Wu clapped his hands and spoke to everyone in the office.

"Everyone, please stop what you are doing. Let me introduce you to your new section chief, Yan..."

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng quickly spoke.

"My name is Yan Jiecheng."

"Yes, this is your new section chief, Yan Jiecheng. Welcome everyone."

Then there was sparse applause in the office.

Director Wu didn't care and pointed to the next office.

"These are all veterans from the fire department. They're very familiar with the department's operations. If you have any questions, just ask them. You can talk slowly. I'm leaving now."

Director Wu then left Yan Jiecheng and quickly left the fire department's office.

Yan Jiecheng was also very upset at this time. This Director Wu really did what he wanted. He was already handing over the matter? This was too unreliable, right?
But after all, he was his immediate superior, so Yan Jiecheng could only accept his fate.

After Director Wu left, Yan Jiecheng looked at everyone in the office and said.

"Everyone, I'm new to the fire department and I'm not familiar with the situation here. So, let's introduce ourselves."

"My name is Fan Guangfei."

"My name is Zheng Chuanyi."

"Section Chief, my name is Gao Lin. My main job is to inspect each workshop to see if there are any fire hazards."

"My name is Liu Chao."

"Chief, my name is Tian Fei."

Well, apart from Gao Lin’s introduction which was decent, the others… Oh, it seems that my work in the Fire Department is a long and arduous journey.
