Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Secretary Sun, you should know how difficult it is to purchase goods right now. We can't even replenish the quota. I can only do my best to complete these things. I don't know when you need them."

"The sooner the better, Chief Xiao. Actually, Director Yang knows that this matter is difficult for you and doesn't want to rush you, but the Hebei Steel Plant suddenly sent a message saying that the steel supply to our plant will be reduced by half next year, so the director urgently needs this batch of goods to move around. What do you think..."

"Okay, I'll try my best!"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo put the list into the drawer, then poured a cup of hot water to make tea.

"Let's taste it together?"

"Ah? No, no, Chief Xiao, you are busy!"

Secretary Sun tactfully left the office and went to report the situation to Director Yang, who also became a little panicked.

He really wanted to use the mission to test Xiao Weiguo's true abilities, but he also sincerely hoped that he could complete it. Otherwise, the steel plant's supply would not be able to increase, and its efficiency would be poor, and he, as the factory director, would not be able to sit still.

Xiao Weiguo was slacking off in the office the whole morning. Secretary Sun came to check on him several times in a hurry. When he learned that Xiao Weiguo had not gone out, he looked disappointed.

It was not until the afternoon that Xiao Weiguo took the note to the finance department to get the money and go out to do some business.

As soon as the guard saw that it was Xiao Weiguo coming out, he immediately opened the door and let him in. In those days, except for people in the purchasing department who could enter and exit freely, other workers were kept in a closed state once they entered the factory, and the gate was only opened at the end of the working day.

When he arrived at Lao Mo's Restaurant, Xiao Weiguo ordered a pot of braised beef, cream salad, bacon-roasted asparagus, and chicken and mushroom rolls, which cost him more than ten yuan. Except for the cream salad, which he didn't like very much, he finished all the others.

After dinner, Xiao Weiguo looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so he sat down and listened to the phonograph for a while before going home.

When Xiao Weiguo rode from Xizhimenwai Street to Dongzhimen Street, a black bag appeared on his handlebars. He turned and arrived at the gate of the steel rolling mill, where he met the deaf old lady.

"Humph, bah..."

The old lady spat at Xiao Weiguo without saying a word. My uncle could tolerate this, but my aunt could not.

Xiao Weiguo laughed and shot back, "Be careful or you'll fall two miles under that old spit of yours. Your bones are so brittle that if you break your arms and legs, you'll end up in the coffin."

After saying that, Xiao Weiguo also spat out a mouthful, tooth for tooth, and he should not be lenient towards this old lady.

The security guard in the room was stunned. How could they start a verbal fight?

In the office building, Xiao Weiguo went straight to Director Yang's office with a black bag. "You're in urgent need of it, so I'll show you what Chinese speed is."

knock knock knock

"Please come in!"

Director Yang never dreamed that it was Xiao Weiguo, and the black bag in his hand was full. He almost jumped up with excitement.

He immediately stood up and greeted, "Chief Xiao, what are you doing..."

"The director has finished his work this morning. Secretary Sun is not here so I came directly to see you. I hope I won't disturb you!"

Director Yang laughed for a while, took Xiao Weiguo's hand and praised him from head to toe. His plan was very round, but his intention was also very obvious.

"Comrade Weiguo, we are all family, I will just say whatever I want to say. Just now, the deaf old lady in your hospital came to me, crying and begging for Jia Zhang. Alas, I am in a difficult situation too!"

"Leader, I heard that this deaf old lady saved your life?"

Director Yang nodded sincerely, "Yes, so I have taken good care of her over the years, but as for Jia Zhang's matter...it's hard for me to help..."

Xiao Weiguo guessed that Director Yang was afraid of him, so he was hesitating and wanted to see what his attitude was. He was making his position clear.

Seeing him so hesitant, Xiao Weiguo decided to do him a favor and let the old witch out to bite him madly, which would also contribute more emotional points!

"The factory manager should repay the kindness he has received so that he can have a clear conscience. I understand your feelings."

"Although Jia Zhang and I live in the same courtyard, we don't interfere with each other. What happens to her has nothing to do with me."

When Director Yang heard this, his eyes lit up. He was so young but so sophisticated and shrewd. He was indeed a talented person!

I was actually deceived by the deaf old lady and forced to suppress Xiao Weiguo. I regret it so much now.

So he patted Xiao Weiguo on the shoulder and said kindly, "I have helped her enough over the years, and I have paid off all the debts. This is the last time I will help her. From now on, the deaf old lady will not be able to enter the gate of the steel mill!"

"Weiguo, I didn't understand the situation clearly before, which led to a lot of misunderstandings. I..."

Seeing that Director Yang was about to apologize, Xiao Weiguo quickly stopped him, thinking that he had to give such a high-ranking leader some face.

Everyone has some connections behind them, so why bother about what’s true or false in the workplace?

"Director, this is all a misunderstanding. It's all in the past. You will always be my good leader. I will follow your orders wherever you direct me. I promise to obey your orders absolutely."

Xiao Weiguo's words were full of sincerity, and Director Yang felt relieved.

"Weiguo, in fact, with your ability, being a section chief is a waste of talent, but you have just arrived at the factory and you are young, so it is not easy to skip levels for promotion. After a period of experience, at most half a year, I will promote you to the head of the purchasing department!"

Director Yang's plan was too big. He directly asked himself to replace Li Huaide. It was obvious that he was trying to win me over and go against Li Huaide.

If he didn't know what happened in the future, he might have accidentally gotten on a pirate ship.

"Director Yang, rest assured, I will work hard and live up to the trust the organization has placed in me!"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo stood up and bowed to Director Yang, praising him so highly that he was almost dizzy.

After leaving the office, Xiao Weiguo smiled awkwardly. The higher you are praised now, the harder you will fall in the future.

After seeing Xiao Weiguo off, Director Yang couldn't wait to open the bag. There were eight cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes, ten bottles of Moutai, ten cakes of Hanoi Purple Label raw tea, ten bottles of Fenjiu, twenty boxes of canned beef, and twenty boxes of canned fruit.

Looking at the table full of precious supplies, Director Yang plopped down on his chair, sweat breaking out on his back due to excitement.

Anyone who can get any one of these things is considered a capable person, not to mention that Xiao Weiguo got so many in just half a day.

It only means that his resources are at a level that even he, the factory director, cannot access.

The more Director Yang thought about it, the more scared he became. He wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he trust the wrong person and provoke him in the first place?

There is no time to curry favor with the ancestors, so he can be deified directly.

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai put his hands in his sleeves and walked towards the security department in the cold wind, his face full of bitterness and hatred, and his eyes full of disappointment.

He never expected that Jia Dongxu, whom he treated as his own son, would dare to threaten him.

Last night, Banggeng called him to the Jia family. Jia Dongxu cried and begged him to save people, but he had been demoted three levels and could hardly save himself, so how could he care about Jia Zhangshi.

Seeing that he refused, Jia Dongxu stopped pretending and threatened to go to the street and the factory to report his affair with Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai was also completely dumbfounded. This grandson even lost his mother's face in order to save others.

No matter how he explained, Jia Dongxu remained unmoved, and the two broke up completely. For the sake of his own reputation, he had no choice but to ask the deaf old lady for help.

However, he really didn't expect that Director Yang would agree to release the person so readily.

Although I was disappointed, I was also secretly happy in my heart, thinking that since the deaf old lady still had a say with the factory director, I still had a chance to turn things around.
