Of course, there are always a few lone heroes who manage to pull off a few miraculous feats.
Therefore, Leaders are usually very adept at adapting to circumstances.
Someone like Chen Jianye—no parents, no wife, no children, a serious medical history at the hospital, and a record of threatening people with a knife in the Courtyard.
He's practically maximized his personal value.
When Leaders see this type of person, they are usually more polite, focusing on appeasement and conciliation.
Seeing that Chen Jianye's mood was taking a turn for the worse, the Leader would definitely run in the other direction.
People like Yan Fugui.
They have stable jobs, wives, children, and a good sense of self-management.
They are the type of masses most welcomed and liked by Leaders.
If a Leader doesn't display authority in front of them, wouldn't he be a Leader for nothing?
Two Security Guards placed Yan Fugui on the chair.
Third Aunt fed him water.
After a few sips of water, Yan Fugui regained some of his spirit.
“Yan Fugui, what mistake did you make? Speak up.”
Section Chief Hong leaned back in his chair and instructed.
“Sigh.”
Yan Fugui sighed, first glancing at Chen Jianye, then slowly began, “I found the agreement between Jia and the Security Section, but instead of returning it to Jia, I took the agreement and exchanged it for money with Chen Family.”
“As long as you know it in your heart.”
“You found Jia’s things, shouldn’t they be returned to their rightful owner?”
Section Chief Hong shouted.
“Yes, I should return them to their rightful owner.”
Yan Fugui spoke weakly, worried that Section Chief Hong would throw him back into the small dark room.
“Third Master selling Jia’s agreement to me was doing a good deed.”
“I don’t think he did anything wrong. If I hadn’t seen the agreement, how could I have negotiated with the Security Section?”
Chen Jianye spoke up for justice.
Section Chief Hong glared at Chen Jianye angrily.
You brat got enough benefits.
You almost scared me to death.
“Jianye, I indeed made a mistake in this matter. You don’t need to say good things about me.”
Yan Fugui waved his hand.
“Third Master, you were caught by the Security Section because you were helping me. I definitely have to get you out.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about this? If I had known, I would have come to save you yesterday.”
Chen Jianye said with a righteous expression.
Yan Fugui’s face showed a hint of resentment.
I was locked in a small dark room by the Security Section. If I could have told you, wouldn’t I have told you?
“Section Chief Hong, Comrade Yan Fugui did make a mistake, but with your mediation, haven’t we and Jia reconciled?”
“Can you please be lenient and give him a break?”
Chen Jianye said amicably.
“Jianye, to be honest with you, I was originally thinking of detaining him for three to five days.”
“Leaking the Security Section’s secrets—if there’s no punishment, who would take the Security Section’s matters seriously in the future?”
Section Chief Hong looked serious.
Thud.
Yan Fugui’s legs trembled, his bottom slipped, and he fell from the chair.
He had only been in the small dark room for one day, without food or drink, and no one paid attention even when he screamed himself hoarse.
At night, he lay on the floor, without a pillow or bedding, surrounded by darkness.
He was cold and hungry.
This feeling was like being abandoned by the world, or rather, being left to die.
It was too unbearable.
One day had completely broken him.
If it were three to five days, Yan Fugui was afraid he would starve or die of thirst.
“Old man, don’t panic.”
“Dad, sit properly.”
Third Aunt and Yan Jiecheng quickly helped Yan Fugui up.
“Leader, my old man is really not doing well. Please be kind and let him live.”
“Leader, my dad is weak and can’t bear it. Please let him go.”
Third Aunt and Yan Jiecheng quickly pleaded with Section Chief Hong for help.
“Section Chief Hong, if this person dies in the Security Section, it will also be a troublesome matter.”
“How about this: let Yan Fugui sign a confidentiality agreement, and you give him a chance.”
Chen Jianye also helped intercede.
Mainly, he was doing it for the Yan Family to see.
He was indeed helping, even using his connections with Section Chief Hong.
“Alright, mainly for your sake, Jianye, I’ll give him a chance.”
Section Chief Hong seemed a bit troubled but finally agreed.
He quickly drafted an agreement, and Yan Fugui, forcing himself to rally, signed his name.
He promised never to mention the agreement between Jia and the Security Section to anyone again.
“Third Aunt, Brother Jiecheng, hurry and send Third Master back.”
Chen Jianye said.
“Jianye, thank you. Our Yan Family owes you.”
Third Aunt said honestly.
“Hey, why say that? We’re all from the same Courtyard. If I don’t help your family, should I help Jia?”
Chen Jianye smiled faintly and waved his hand.
“Jianye, in the past, our Jiekuang even took things from your family. Now that I think about it, our family has too many things to apologize for.”
“From now on, I consider you my good buddy, my good brother. If you need anything, just tell me.”
Yan Jiecheng also said in a deep voice, his eyes showing firm resolve.
Can I borrow Li Jie for a bit?
This thought flashed through Chen Jianye’s mind, and he quickly dismissed it, saying calmly, “Stop saying useless things. Hurry and send Third Master home to rest.”
Yan Jiecheng lifted his father, and Third Aunt followed beside them.
After the Yan Family left.
“Section Chief Hong, you guys really tormented Yan Fugui too much.”
“If the Yan Family hadn’t come, and something really happened to Yan Fugui, the Security Section would have a lot of trouble on its hands.”
Chen Jianye said with some dissatisfaction.
There were only Chen Jianye and Section Chief Hong in the office, so Chen Jianye spoke much more casually.
He had Section Chief Hong’s weakness, so he naturally wasn’t afraid of him.
“Oh, this was my oversight. I was thinking of releasing him yesterday, but I got too busy and completely forgot.”
Section Chief Hong chuckled.
“Well, then you should thank the Yan Family for coming this morning.”
Chen Jianye was somewhat speechless.
Locking up a living person and then completely forgetting about it—that’s truly something.
“It is indeed what happened, but it shouldn’t be said that way.”
“Fortunately, this matter was resolved satisfactorily. You’re good, I’m good, everyone’s good.”
Section Chief Hong said with a smile.
“Alright then, Section Chief Hong, I’m going to the Workshop to work.”
Chen Jianye stood up, suddenly remembering something: “Section Chief Hong, I bought a new bicycle. I can’t ride it in the factory, can I? Does the Security Section have a solution?”
“Issuing factory internal permits is indeed approved by the Security Section, and there is a set of management regulations. A considerable number of our factory employees have bought bicycles. If we don’t control the number of internal permits, bicycles will be everywhere in the factory, which is too dangerous.”
“Not just you, many employees in our Security Section can’t get internal permits.”
Section Chief Hong quickly refused, worried that Chen Jianye would take advantage of the situation.
“So there’s no way?”
Chen Jianye asked.
“To get an internal factory permit, you at least need to pass the Eighth-Grade Fitter exam or become a major Leader in the Workshop to be eligible to apply.”
“Rules are rules. If there wasn’t this line, today the Plant Director’s nephew would apply, tomorrow the Section Chief’s nephew would come, then how would our Security Section do its work?”
Section Chief Hong explained the reason clearly.
“Section Chief Hong, you’re right.”
“Once I pass the Eighth-Grade Fitter exam, I’ll come back to you for help with the application.”
Chen Jianye nodded.
“Alright, I also very much look forward to that day.”
Section Chief Hong chuckled.
He secretly thought, by the time you pass the Eighth-Grade Fitter exam, I’ll have retired.
Who knows what the Rolling Mill’s policy will be then.
As long as it has nothing to do with me.
