Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Wang Jianjun was certainly not short of money, and even if Yang Weimin was richer, he could not come up with a figure that satisfied him.

When Director Yang saw that Wang Jianjun was so stubborn, his face turned dark.

The two ended up parting on bad terms.

Wang Jianjun was not worried that if he offended Director Yang, the other party would make things difficult for him.

But anyway, he resigned after more than a year.

By then, there will be no need to look at his face.

When Wang Jianjun returned to the office, he saw Director Wang sitting at his seat with a constipated look on his face.

"What's wrong, Lao Wang? Why do you look so unhappy?"

"Director Yang just came to see you, didn't he?"

Wang Jianjun raised his eyebrows, "Did he also ask you to keep your mouth shut?"

"Yes, what conditions did he negotiate with you?"

Wang Jianjun pulled over a chair, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Promote me, increase my salary, and give me some compensation so that I won't pursue Yang Weimin. What conditions did he give you to keep your mouth shut?"

Director Wang sighed and said:

"It's nothing. My son also works in the factory. When I retire, he will have a good future."

Wang Jianjun sneered, this Old Yang is really caring enough.

Wang Jianjun poured Director Wang a cup of tea and asked:

"Then why do you still look constipated?"

"I'm just annoyed that I'm about to retire, but I'm still being bothered by so many things. I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing. The main reason is that Yang Weimin is really evil. He actually did such a thing. What about you, have you agreed to the conditions given by the other party?"

"I didn't agree. That guy had already offended us before, and this time he tortured me to death. Do you think I can let him go?"

Director Wang hesitated for a while before advising:

"But Jianjun, if you offend Director Yang too much, you may have a hard time staying in the factory in the future."

"At worst, I can just quit and leave."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You finally became a leader. If you lose your job, how will you support your family? If you really want to go against Director Yang, I suggest you use your connections to transfer to another unit."

Old Wang still sided with Wang Jianjun, and he didn't even try to persuade Wang Jianjun to keep quiet.

Wang Jianjun was naturally not afraid, as he would have to resign sooner or later anyway.

If you make yourself unhappy, then just break up.

Ever since he had a falling out with Director Yang, Director Yang never contacted him again.

But Wang Jianjun didn’t see anyone from the Industrial Safety Department coming.

Instead, a few days later, Old Man Chen drove to the steel mill to find him.

"Uncle Chen, how come you have time to come to see me today?"

When Wang Jianjun saw Old Man Chen, he had some vague guesses in his mind.

"Old Liu wants to talk to you and ask me to be your lobbyist. It's about Old Yang."

Hearing this, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but frown.

Old Yang even went so far as to seek connections with the big boss.

"Can I not go, Uncle Chen?"

"What do you think? You didn't even go to see Lao Liu when he returned to Sijiu City. How could you not go when I specifically asked you to come?"

Wang Jianjun had no choice but to get into Old Man Chen’s car.

I followed Old Man Chen all the way to the familiar big villa.

Wang Jianjun felt a little emotional when thinking about the scenes when he met the big boss ten years ago.

So many years have passed without me noticing.

Wang Jianjun went forward and knocked on the door, and it was the leader’s wife who opened the door.

Seeing Wang Jianjun and Old Man Chen coming together, the leader's wife became more enthusiastic towards him than usual.

"Old Liu is waiting for you in the study. Go up first and I'll make you some tea."

Wang Jianjun followed Old Man Chen to the leader’s study.

When I saw the leader again after many years, his hair had turned gray and his face looked old.

But he is quite spirited.

Seeing Wang Jianjun coming in, he stood up and greeted him with a smile:

"Long time no see, Xiao Wang. Speaking of which, Zhuzi even came to my place to cook for me after I came back for so long. How come you didn't come to see me?"

"Hello, Boss. I didn't dare to disturb you because I was afraid that you would have a lot of things to do after you just returned."

Wang Jianjun did not show too much enthusiasm, otherwise he would be in a passive position when talking about Yang Weimin's matter later.

The big boss was obviously a little surprised by Wang Jianjun's attitude.

But it’s understandable once you think about it.

He then put his hands behind his back and smiled:

"Old Yang has given me a difficult problem this time. To be honest, I didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing before. If I were in the army, I would have shot him first.

Maybe it's because I'm old, but now I can understand his feelings. Old Yang has no children, and Yang Weimin is both his nephew and his future successor. If it weren't for his contributions to the country, I wouldn't have the audacity to come and ask you for help. "

After hearing what the leader said, Wang Jianjun also fell silent.

What else can he say now that the other party has said this?

If I refuse again, I would be really tactless.

He was a little surprised that Director Yang had no children, and he didn't know if there was something wrong with the way this world works.

All the notable characters in the entire drama have some connection with infertility.

"Boss, since you've spoken, I'll give you a favor this time. I won't bother with Yang Weimin's matter, but if he offends me again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"What are you talking about, kid? You are being disrespectful in front of your elders."

Seeing Wang Jianjun's dissatisfied attitude, Old Man Chen gave him a lecture.

The big leader waved his hand and said:

"Old Chen, Xiao Wang is right. This clay man still has some temper. Jianjun's words are correct. As elders, we should know our limits."

The big leader said, looking at Wang Jianjun and said with a smile:

"Let's not talk about those bad things. I heard from Lao Chen that your wife is doing well in business in Hong Kong. Let me tell you the truth. China will start to open up to the outside world in a year or two.

The higher-ups hope that businessmen from Hong Kong will come to invest in China. If your wife wants to invest, I hope you will give priority to our country. Although we are still relatively poor now, we still have great potential. If you need it, I can also help find some old friends to give you a green light in terms of policy. "

This was an unexpected surprise.

Wang Jianjun also guessed that the leader was talking about reform and opening up.

He calculated the time and it would be about one or two years later.

With a big leader's network of connections, even after retirement, his relationships are still very strong, and this is exactly what he needs.

Wang Jianjun knew very well that doing big business with or without political resources were two completely different matters.

As for why the big boss helped him in this way, it was obviously to repay him for letting Yang Weimin go.

But this matter cannot be said openly, as long as both parties understand it in their hearts.

With the promise from the top leader, Wang Jianjun felt much better.

The two chatted for a while at the big leader's house, and then Wang Jianjun said goodbye and left.

On the way back, Old Man Chen suddenly asked:

"Do you feel that this matter has wronged you?"

Wang Jianjun waved his hand and said indifferently:

"No, I don't care about Yang Weimin. He is just a small figure."

"You are such a boaster, after all, he is the leader of the steel mill."

“Who is not a leader?”

Old man Chen smiled and said:

"I was worried that you might have some feelings towards Lao Liu because of this incident, but now I feel relieved."

"That's not the case. After all, the conditions offered by the other party are indeed what I need."

Wang Jianjun smiled and said casually.

What he didn't say was that after this incident, he no longer had the same casual attitude towards his senior leaders.

It's not that we are estranged from each other, but there is no way I can treat him as an elder anymore.
