Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

At the same time, Yan Jiekuang was called to school by a phone call. When he reached the door of the head teacher's office, Yan Jiekuang reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Not long after, the voice of the head teacher Jiang Huaisheng came from inside. After getting permission, Yan Jiekuang pushed the door and walked into the office, asking, "Head teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?!"

Jiang Huaisheng saw Yan Jiekuang coming and said, "Little Yan, take a seat first!"

"Oh!" Yan Jiekuang walked over to Jiang Huaisheng and sat down. Jiang Huaisheng opened his cup and took a sip of water, then asked, "Xiao Yan, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Lou family in Gangcheng?!"

"That's right!" Yan Jiekuang replied casually and asked, "Class teacher, what's the matter?!"

Jiang Huaisheng said, "Xiao Yan, I asked you to come here today for something. You know the Red Star Steel Mill in Sijiu City, right?!"

"I know! Many people worked in the compound where I used to live. Before the public-private partnership, the Red Star Steel Mill was called the Lou's Steel Mill. It belonged to the Lou family." Yan Jiekuang pretended to have come to his senses and said, "Class teacher, you're not asking me to talk to the Lou family about the joint venture with the Red Star Steel Mill, are you?!"

Jiang Huaisheng immediately showed an embarrassed expression of being exposed on his face, and said: "Look, they have found the department head. The department head has spoken, I can't just ignore it, right?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Class teacher, other things are easy to talk about, but I really can't do anything about this. A few years ago, when we just resumed our relationship, the Lou family proposed to invest in the Red Star Steel Mill. But for some reason, there was no follow-up. Now they don't want to invest, but they are shamelessly begging them. Besides, didn't someone go to Gangcheng to look for the Lou family a while ago? Why?! The Lou family didn't agree?! They say that even if the deal fails, the friendship remains. Since they don't agree, forget it. A forced melon is not sweet."

Jiang Huaisheng didn't expect Yan Jiekuang to be so talkative. He didn't know what to do. The department head, who had been eavesdropping at the back door, knew that he had to show up now. So he pushed the door and walked into the office.

Jiang Huaisheng and Yan Jiekuang heard the door open and looked towards the back door at the same time. After seeing the dean come in, Jiang Huaisheng and Yan Jiekuang shouted in unison: "Dean Song!"

Director Song walked up to Yan Jiekuang and asked, "Are you Yan Jiekuang?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Director Song said, "I'm sure your head teacher has already told you about this."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Director, I'm just a student. I can't do what you asked me to do. You'd better ask someone else for help. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!" After that, Yan Jiekuang turned around and left, without giving Director Song any chance to stop him.

After Yan Jiekuang left the office, Director Song finally reacted. Director Song said angrily: "How can there be such a student in our school?!"

Jiang Huaisheng hesitated for a few seconds and reminded carefully: "Director, I heard that Yan Jiekuang's father-in-law and his family are all high-ranking cadres."

Director Song's expression changed several times in an instant, and he frowned and said, "Find a chance to talk to Yan Jiekuang again. Although he still has a few years to graduate, a better resume can also add points to the job assignment after graduation."

Jiang Huaisheng thought to himself, "It is said that Director Song was able to sit in this position because of his wife's help. It seems that this is absolutely true. Since we know that Yan Jiekuang has a good relationship with the Lou family, he still needs to study and arrange his graduation assignment?!" Jiang Huaisheng looked down on Director Song, but after all, a higher rank can crush a higher rank. Moreover, the department head is many levels higher than him. Jiang Huaisheng smiled and said, "Director, I will talk to him if I have a chance."

Jiang Huaisheng nodded slightly, turned around and left Jiang Huaisheng's office. Jiang Huaisheng watched Director Song disappear at the door of the office, and he breathed a sigh of relief, muttering to himself: "It's so easy for others to be a class teacher, why is it so difficult for me to be a class teacher?!"

After leaving the school gate, Yan Jiekuang was idle, so he wandered around. As he walked, he came to the Lou family's small western-style building. Yan Jiekuang thought: "Since I'm passing by here, I'll go in and see Lou Zhenhua and his wife." So Yan Jiekuang found a deserted place, took out some beef, mutton and some dried goods from the space, hummed a song and walked towards the Lou family's small western-style building.

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!" Walking to the small Western-style building, Yan Jiekuang reached out and pressed the doorbell twice.

Not long after, the door opened. Yan Jiekuang saw Butler Fu and greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Fu!"

Butler Fu said, "Mr. Yan is here?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Uncle Fu, don't call me Mr. Yan. You should call me Jiekuang or Xiao Yan. It sounds better this way." Then he asked, "Is Uncle Lou home?!"

Butler Fu replied, "The master and the mistress are both at home. They didn't eat today."

Yan Jiekuang followed Uncle Fu into the small western-style building. When they arrived at the living room, Yan Jiekuang smiled and called out, "Uncle! Aunt!"

Lou Zhenhua put down the newspaper and asked with a smile: "Jie Kuang, what brings you here today?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Uncle, what else could it be?! It's been a few days since I came back. I wanted to come and see if you guys are short of anything. I'll send it to you later. Today I brought some beef, mutton and some dried goods." After saying that, Yan Jiekuang handed the things in his hand to Tan Lingya.

Tan Lingya took the things from Yan Jiekuang's hand, looked at them, and then handed them to Butler Fu, asking Butler Fu to take the things to the kitchen.

Lou Zhenhua asked Yan Jiekuang to sit down and asked, "Did someone ask you to persuade our family to invest in the Red Star Steel Mill?!"

Yan Jiekuang said: "Someone did come to me. But if the Red Star Steel Mill cannot be solved with just one or two dollars, and the Lou family's money did not come from the wind, I will not be their lobbyist."

Tan Lingya and Lou Zhenhua looked at each other. Tan Lingya smiled and said, "Your old friends are living like dogs at such an old age. They still don't understand."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Aunt, it's not that I understand. It's that they are frightened by what happened between them. They no longer have the ambitions they had when they were young."

Lou Zhenhua said: "It's just that they don't know about Hualong Bank. If they knew, they wouldn't come to me!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Since I can't stay in China, I can go to Hong Kong. It will only take a year or two. After this wave of wind blows over, joint ventures will become common. No one will come to disturb us."

Lou Zhenhua said, "I was a little tempted at first. After all, the Red Star Steel Mill is the foundation of my Lou's Steel Mill. Yesterday I asked an old worker about the situation in the factory. This time I have completely given up. If the higher-ups give me the dividends they owe me, I will take it! If they don't, I won't ask them for it. Now I think it's better to save trouble than to worry about it. When I have time, I will go to my friends for tea and chat. If that doesn't work, I will just stay at home with my wife and enjoy my retirement life."

Yan Jiekuang said, "Uncle Lou, if you and aunt feel that home is too lonely, I will send my three little devils to you tomorrow. Let them accompany you."

Tan Lingya smiled and said, "Your uncle Lou and I have been waiting for you to say this. Remember to send the child over tomorrow."
