The third uncle was completely pissed off by Yan Jiecheng.
But he still has one key thing to do now, which is to quickly appease Matchmaker Wang.
You must know that people who can be matchmakers are very aggressive people. What Yan Jiecheng did this time is tantamount to ruining the reputation of Matchmaker Wang.
The third uncle walked up to Matchmaker Wang with an apologetic smile on his face: "Matchmaker Wang, I really can't help you this time. This kid is ignorant and made things like this. I am here to apologize to you."
Matchmaker Wang snorted coldly: "Can't you apologize? What's the use? I've been a matchmaker all my life, and I've never been so embarrassed! How will I behave in this area in the future? People will always say who I introduced, and they talk all the time, and I
This reputation is completely ruined."
The third uncle nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's all this kid's fault. Do you think this will work? I'll give you some compensation."
Matchmaker Wang's eyes widened: "Compensation? How do you want to compensate me?"
The third uncle gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one yuan, just as if I'm buying you something to calm your nerves."
Matchmaker Wang became anxious when she heard this: "One dollar? Are you paying the beggar? Third uncle, you are really stingy. This time it's such a big deal, it will cost at least twenty dollars."
The third uncle's eyes widened: "Twenty yuan? Aren't you a big talker? How can I have so much money? One yuan at most, no more."
Matchmaker Wang stood up and put her hands on her hips: "Third uncle, don't be so shameless. If you don't give me twenty yuan, I will go to your courtyard to make trouble and let everyone in the courtyard know how your family cheated me.
, so you don’t have the shame to stay in the courtyard.”
The third uncle panicked: "Wang Matchmaker, please don't be impulsive. We have to talk carefully. This twenty yuan is really too much. I really can't afford it."
Matchmaker Wang was furious: "Huh, I don't care, you asked for it. Either give me money or wait for me to make trouble. You can choose for yourself."
The third uncle stood there, frowning, and was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was reluctant to give up the money, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Matchmaker Wang would really go to the courtyard to cause trouble.
The third uncle looked pained and paced back and forth in the room. After much hesitation, he took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to Matchmaker Wang: "Matchmaker Wang, I really don't have that much money anymore. These five dollars,
Just accept it, it's just my opinion, I won't apologize to you."
Matchmaker Wang glanced at the five yuan and frowned. She wanted to insist on twenty more yuan, but looking at the pitiful look of the third uncle, she thought that she might not be able to get more if she continued to pester her.
Then he grabbed the money and said: "Huh, you are still somewhat sincere. I will let you go this time, but we can't just let it go."
The third uncle nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, you have a lot."
Matchmaker Wang looked at Yan Jiecheng, with anger still in her eyes: "Yan Jiecheng, I won't argue with you this time, but remember, don't think about me being a matchmaker for you again in the future. You are such an unreliable person.
, I don’t want to get involved again, lest it ruin my reputation.”
The third uncle pulled Yan Jiecheng and walked toward the door dejectedly. As soon as he reached the door, Matchmaker Wang shouted from behind again: "Don't come to me again in the future, let's just pretend it didn't happen." After that, "Bang."
"The door closed with a sound.
The third uncle and Yan Jiecheng stood outside the door. The third uncle glared at Yan Jiecheng: "Look at the good things you have done, let's go home!" After that, he walked home angrily.
The third uncle and Yan Jiecheng returned home with their heads hanging down. When the third aunt saw their appearance, her heart skipped a beat, but she still asked with a glimmer of hope: "How is it? When is the wedding scheduled?"
When the third uncle heard this, he immediately became furious and threw his hat on the table: "A wedding? Huh, what kind of wedding is there! This bastard ruined all the good things!"
The third aunt looked confused: "What's going on? Please tell me quickly."
The third uncle was so angry that he paced back and forth in the room, talking as he walked: "As soon as this guy saw this girl, he started talking nonsense, saying that he was the workshop director of some kind of lumber factory, and that he knew Deputy Chen from the textile factory.
The director of the factory can let a girl become the leader. The result? The girl has relatives in the textile factory. There is no deputy director named Chen at all. Moreover, the lumber factory only has eight workshops. This guy even made up a random number.
Fifteen workshops.”
The third aunt's eyes widened and she turned to look at Yan Jiecheng: "You kid, how can you talk such nonsense?"
Yan Jiecheng muttered: "I...I just want her to have a good impression of me."
"Good impression? You are so embarrassed!" The third uncle roared, "Later, Matchmaker Wang wanted to save the situation, but this guy didn't repent and continued to talk nonsense. The girl left in a rage, making Matchmaker Wang very angry.
Not light."
The third aunt asked anxiously: "What didn't Matchmaker Wang say?"
The third uncle sighed helplessly: "What are you talking about? Matchmaker Wang has been a matchmaker all her life, and she has never been so embarrassed. She originally asked us for twenty yuan in compensation, but I finally gave her five yuan, and she agreed not to pursue this matter.
He also said that he would never play matchmaker for this boy again. Look, a good marriage was ruined by this brat!"
After hearing this, the third aunt was angry and helpless. She pointed at Yan Jiecheng and cursed: "You are such a non-improvement, what will you do in the future?"
Yan Jiecheng was scolded by the third uncle and the third aunt, and the anger in his heart suddenly burst out. He blushed and shouted: "You don't have to worry about my marriage from now on, don't interfere anymore!" After that,
He slammed the door hard, and with a bang, the door shook violently behind him, and the whole room seemed to be shaking with this anger.
Yan Jiecheng came to the street angrily. He wanted to find friends to play together to relieve his depression. He found a group of friends who usually played well and walked over with a smile on his face: "Hey, brother
How many are there? What are you going to do? Take me with you.
"Jie Cheng, we have to spend money to play. Do you have any in your pocket? If not, I'm sorry."
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his face suddenly felt like it was on fire, and he stood there awkwardly. He touched his empty pocket, turned around and left helplessly.
Yan Jiecheng, who had nowhere to go, had no choice but to come to the park. There were many people playing cards in the park, which was very lively. He thought to himself that it would be better to look at the cards than to wander around in the street. So he slowly got together.
He walked over. As soon as he stood still, he heard a voice: "Aren't you Yan Jiecheng from the courtyard? You seem to be neighbors with Li Weidong, right?"
Yan Jiecheng frowned, looked Zhong Yuemin up and down, and asked with confusion on his face: "Who are you? I don't know you."
The corners of Zhong Yuemin's mouth raised slightly, with a hint of uninhibited smile, and he pointed at the erect general on his body: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can let you know me."
Yan Jiecheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he instantly realized that the person in front of him was the big courtyard brother. In his eyes, the big courtyard boys all have status and status. Building a relationship with them might change his current situation.
What about the situation. His face was immediately filled with smiles, and he said excitedly: "It turns out that we are friends in the compound. I'm glad to meet you."
Zhong Yuemin patted Yan Jiecheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "I am Zhong Yuemin. Yan Jiecheng, I heard that you are quite capable in this area. I have something here and I want you to help me with it."
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his chest beat loudly: "Brother Yuemin, if you have any questions, just say it. As long as I, Yan Jiecheng, can do it, I will definitely do it." He felt happy and felt that his opportunity had come.
If he can help Zhong Yuemin, he will have a backer in the compound in the future.
The corners of Zhong Yuemin's mouth raised slightly, revealing a seemingly harmless but sinister smile. His eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a cunning light. He patted Yan Jiecheng's shoulder and said in a seemingly friendly but bewitching tone.
: "Xie Cheng, I have a little thing I want you to help me with. You can go to the warehouse of the steel rolling mill to pick up something for me. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, "Brother Yuemin, this... this is not possible! Is that a place where you can enter the steel rolling mill warehouse casually? You asked me to get something, this... this is not possible
It's obviously stealing! If I do this, it will be over if I get caught. I don't want to spend my whole life in it!" As he spoke, he waved his hands in a panic and stepped back unconsciously.
Zhong Yuemin looked at Yan Jiecheng's frightened look, with an imperceptible sinister smile on his face, then put on a sincere expression and said slowly: "Jiecheng, keep your heart in your stomach. That equipment is mine.
It was only temporarily stored in the warehouse of the steel rolling mill before. Now I need it urgently and I need you to help me take it out. This is not stealing."
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, his tense nerves relaxed a little. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief: "So that's it, Brother Yuemin, you scared me to death.
"However, he rolled his eyes and immediately said: "However, I can't work in vain. This matter is risky anyway. You have to pay me five yuan for labor." He looked at it greedily.
Zhong Yuemin's eyes flashed with the desire for money.
Zhong Yuemin cursed in his heart: "This kid is really a greedy guy. He wants to make money every chance he gets." But he readily agreed: "Okay, five yuan is five yuan. As long as it's five yuan."
If you take care of things well, the money will be yours."
When Yan Jiecheng heard that Zhong Yuemin agreed, he immediately beamed with joy: "Brother Yuemin, don't worry, I will definitely handle the matter for you. Just watch it!" He seemed to have seen the five dollars entering his pocket.
Yan Jiecheng's face was full of eagerness, and his eyes were shining with the desire for the five dollars: "Brother Yuemin, let's not wait any longer. Hurry up. I'll get the money as soon as we finish."
An imperceptible smile appeared on Zhong Yuemin's lips, and he led Yan Jiecheng outside the rolling mill. He took out a crumpled note from his pocket and handed it to Yan Jiecheng: "Here, you just need to give this note to the logistics department."
Old Man Zhang, who is in charge of the warehouse, will give you the things, and then you can just take them out, it's very simple."
Yan Jiecheng took the note and looked at it, with a relaxed smile on his face: "That's it? This is too easy. Brother Yuemin, just look at it. I'll go right away." After saying that, he strode into a meteoric stride.
He walked towards the factory gate.
But just as he reached the factory gate, Yan Jiecheng suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by an annoyed look. He slapped his head: "I'm really confused, I have been fired from the factory, and now I can't even join the factory."
Don’t go.”
Yan Jiecheng turned around helplessly and ran back to Zhong Yuemin: "Brother Yuemin, I just remembered that I was fired from the factory and can't get in. You have to find a way to send me in."
Zhong Yuemin frowned, a trace of impatience and disgust flashed in his eyes: "You kid, why do you have so many things to do? I'm looking for you to do things because I believe you have this ability, but you can't solve this problem? Since you want to
Take this money and find a way to get in by yourself, don't bother me."
Yan Jiecheng looked aggrieved: "Brother Yuemin, I really can't do anything about this. You don't know, the factory is very strict now. You can't get in without a work permit. If you don't help me, I can't do this job."
Do it."
Zhong Yuemin sneered: "Huh, I don't care what difficulties you have, I only care about the results. If you can't do it, there are many people who are willing to do it, and you won't be able to get the five yuan."
Yan Jiecheng was frustrated by Zhong Yuemin. Although he felt uneasy, when he thought of the five yuan, he still walked towards the door of the steel rolling mill.
When he arrived at the gate of the factory, he felt a little nervous and kept glancing into the guard room. There was no way out. He saw Director Zhou sitting in the guard room at a glance. Yan Jiecheng breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile appeared on his face. When he was working in the steel rolling mill, he often got close to Director Zhou and often asked Director Zhou to smoke.
Yan Jiecheng straightened his clothes, with a smile on his face, walked towards the guard room, and greeted Director Zhou warmly: "How are you, Director Zhou!"
Director Zhou heard the sound, raised his head, looked at Yan Jiecheng carefully, and quickly recognized him: "Hey, isn't this Yan Jiecheng! You kid, you are no longer working in the factory, what are you doing here today?"
Yan Jiecheng's mind turned around and he quickly replied: "Director Zhou, it's like this. My brother Yan Jiefang is in the factory. I'm in a hurry to see him. Do you think you can let me in?" As he spoke, he took something from his pocket.
He took out a cigarette and handed it to Director Zhou with a hint of flattery in his eyes.
Director Zhou took the cigarette, looked at Yan Jiecheng, and said with a smile: "So I'm looking for your brother. However, you are no longer a member of the factory. According to the regulations, you cannot go in casually."
Yan Jiecheng's heart skipped a beat, but he still kept a smile on his face: "Director Zhou, look, I'm really in a hurry. I'll go in for a short while and come out when I find my brother. I won't cause any trouble to you.
Just be accommodating."
Director Zhou looked around subconsciously, with a hint of caution in his eyes. When he was sure that Section Chief Li was not nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Yan Jiecheng and said, "You kid, you will cause trouble for me.
You are lucky today. Section Chief Li is not here, so I will let you in this time."
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Yan Jiecheng's face, and he said hurriedly: "Director Zhou, you are such a good person! Thank you so much! I promise, I will just go in for a while and I will never cause you any trouble."
