Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

The big boss pondered for a while and asked, "Zhu Zi, how much do you know about Yan Jie Kuang and the Lou family opening a bank in Gangcheng?!"

He Yuzhu looked at the big boss, then at Yang Yongjun, and said, "I know something about this. But I heard it from Lou Xiao'e and Yan Jiekuang's conversation. The money in their bank was taken out by some old people in the old city. As for how Yan Jiekuang hooked up with them, I don't know. Anyway, Yan Jiekuang was different from other kids of his age since he was a child."

Yang Yongjun said, "Zhu Zi, if we ask Yan Jiekuang to invest in the steel mill, do you think he would be willing?!"

He Yuzhu answered without thinking, "No chance!" He then explained, "Do you know why the Lou family is unwilling to invest in the steel mill? In fact, Yan Jiekuang had already seen the disadvantages of the steel mill. Even the requirements raised by the Lou family were Yan Jiekuang's ideas. If he is willing to invest in the steel mill, he will definitely ask for management rights. By then, if half of the people in the steel mill can stay, it will be considered good."

The big boss took a sip of wine and said, "Zhu Zi, can you find Yan Jiekuang? I want to talk to him."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "Wait. I'll go give him a call."

After He Yuzhu left, the leader looked at Yang Yongjun and said, "Xiao Yang, what kind of person do you think Yan Jiekuang is?!"

Yang Yongjun replied: "It's hard to say. I always feel that this person is not as simple as he seems. If he is really like what He Yuzhu just said, this person is too cunning."

While the senior leader was talking to Yang Yongjun about Yan Jiekuang, He Yuzhu walked into the office, picked up the phone on the table, and dialed Yan Jiekuang's home number. Not long after, the call was connected. Yan Bugui's voice came from the phone: "Who is it?!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly replied: "Uncle, I'm Zhuzi. Is Jie Kuang here?!"

"Wait! I'll go call him for you!" Yan Bugui walked out of the living room and shouted towards the kitchen, "Jie Kuang! Zhuzi is looking for you!"

Yan Jiekuang walked out of the kitchen and came to the door of the living room, muttering: "Why is Zhuzi looking for me?! Is there something wrong in the store?!" Then Yan Jiekuang walked into the living room, came to the phone, picked up the receiver, and asked: "Brother Zhuzi, this is Jiekuang. What do you want from me?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Jie Kuang, a big boss I know wants to talk to you. He's having dinner in our restaurant right now."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and said, "Okay! I'll be there right away." After that, Yan Jiekuang hung up the phone and said to Yan Bugui, "Dad, I'm going out first."

"Okay! Be careful on the road." Yan Bugui watched Yan Jiekuang leave, sighed unconsciously, and muttered: "It's really not a good thing that my son is capable."

After going out, Yan Jiekuang got directly into the pickup truck parked at the door. Sitting in the car, Yan Jiekuang calmed down. Sitting in the car, Yan Jiekuang thought for a few minutes and started the car. Half an hour later, Yan Jiekuang arrived at the door of the store. After parking the car, Yan Jiekuang got out of the car, locked the door, and walked directly into the hotel door. He Yushui, who was greeting guests, saw Yan Jiekuang, walked over with a smile, and joked: "Busy man, what brings you here today?!"

Yan Jiekuang replied: "What else could it be? Your brother's bad mouth must have brought me here." Then he asked: "Where is your brother?!"

He Yushui replied: "My brother is upstairs, in room 210."

"Okay! I'll go up first. I'll talk to you later." Yan Jiekuang walked towards the stairs. After about five or six minutes, Yan Jiekuang walked to the door of the private room and knocked on it. He Yuzhu heard the knock and said, "Jiekuang is here." He Yuzhu walked to the door, opened it, and said, "You're really slow."

Yan Jiekuang said, "It's good enough that I can come. Why are you so picky?! Then I'm leaving!"

"Don't go! I said the wrong thing! Come in! Everyone is waiting!" He Yuzhu made way. Yan Jiekuang walked into the private room and saw the leader and Yang Yongjun sitting at the two ends of the table. He Yuzhu introduced: "Jiekuang, the one on the left is named Wang. He is my close friend regardless of age difference. I call him the leader. He used to be the head of the department. The one on the right is named Yang. He used to be the director of our steel mill."

Yan Jiekuang said: "Since Brother Zhuzi calls you the big leader, I will follow him and call you that too!"

Yan Jiekuang pulled a chair over and sat down. He Yuzhu also sat down and wanted to pour wine for Yan Jiekuang. Yan Jiekuang stopped He Yuzhu and said, "Brother Zhuzi, I drove here. Don't drink while driving." Then he looked at the big boss and asked, "Big boss, Brother Zhuzi said you wanted to talk to me about something?! I don't know what it is?!"

The big boss asked: "Can I call you Xiao Yan?!"

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "As you wish!"

The big boss said, "Xiao Yan, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Although your identity is well hidden, it is still easy for someone with a keen eye to find out. Xiao Yan, you opened a bank with the Lou family in Gangcheng. This bank is doing well now."

Yan Jiekuang added, "Big leader, although I funded the establishment of the bank, the manager and operator is Lou Xiao'e, the eldest daughter of the Lou family. So if you have any problems, you can go to her. There is no need to go to the trouble of coming to me."

The big boss didn't expect Yan Jiekuang to be so direct. Seeing that something was wrong, Yang Yongjun hurriedly said, "Xiao Yan, excuse me. Where did you get the money to open the bank?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "There are many old people and young people in our city. I helped them during natural disasters. When the wind blew, I helped them privately. Later, I returned to the city. Some of their children and grandchildren died during the wind, and they became lonely. They remembered my kindness to them. They gave me all the money they had hidden outside their homes. This can be regarded as you planting trees and I will enjoy the shade."

The big boss sighed and said, "Xiao Yan, now we are starting to develop, we need a lot of equipment."

"Big boss!" Yan Jiekuang interrupted the big boss just as he started to speak: "I've just said that for business matters, it's more useful for you to go directly to Lou Xiao'e instead of me. And when I established the bank and asked Lou Xiao'e to be the CEO, I said that I would not participate in any decision-making of the bank. You can't let me go back on my word, can you?!"

The big boss was silent. Yang Yongjun didn't know what to say. He Yuzhu saw the silence and said, "Jie Kuang, have you ever thought about opening a bank in China?!"

Yan Jiekuang said, "Brother Zhuzi, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Besides, Lou Xiao'e has the final say on decision-making. I am a hands-off boss." Then he asked, "We opened a restaurant together. Have you ever seen me making decisions? I believe in the saying 'Professional matters should be done by professionals.' I should never interfere in matters that I shouldn't interfere in."

He Yuzhu stared at Yan Jiekuang with eyes wide open and said, "After all this time, you just want to take advantage of what's already been done?!"

Yan Jiekuang rolled his eyes at He Yuzhu and said, "What do you mean by eating what's ready?! That's too harsh, isn't it?! This is called taking what you need."
