Chapter 168: Settling Accounts with Deputy Director Li

The smile on Dongzi's face gradually froze, as if he had guessed the outcome.

Sure enough, the next sentence made him happy, but also brought him a little sadness.

"I'll give you two options. Make your own choice so you don't regret it later."

"Say it, leader."

"The first path is to move up one level with me, and that's basically the end of it. After five or six years, I can demote you to a second-level clerk before I retire to the second line, with a monthly salary of 70 yuan. From then on, it depends on your own efforts. Follow the old path I took back then."

"Second, I will entrust you to another person, a more capable person, and you will still be paid 56 yuan per month as a Level clerk. The advantage is that he can help you go further in the future."

After finishing speaking, Section Chief Hu fell into reminiscence and contemplation.

Dongzi did not rush to answer. He just stood behind Section Chief Hu, waiting quietly, thinking and making a choice.

After a long while, Section Chief Hu stroked his face with both hands to make himself look more energetic and vibrant. Unfortunately, the white hair on his temples cast a white frost on his strength and stubbornness.

"Have you thought about it? Which path do you want to choose?"

"I didn't make a choice. I wanted to hear the leader's opinion. Which path do you want me to choose? I'll choose that one."

"You don't have to worry about it. The choice I give you may not be the right one. There are too many uncertainties in the future."

"I still want to use the experience of my leader to eliminate a more unfavorable option for myself."

"If you choose the first option, you may not be able to reach my height, because you don't have that person's help, and you will be powerless after you reach this height."

"What about the second way?"

"The second path may seem unreliable, but it is actually very effective. If you don't just focus on the immediate results, the final rewards may be greater than the first path."

Dongzi understood that Chief Hu said this not because he wanted to drive him away after he was promoted, but because he was really thinking about his future.

"Leader, let me think about it. I'll accompany you for the next month and give you an answer."

"Haha, take your time and don't rush. You can follow me after you get promoted. I don't mean to drive you away."

"To be honest, with you by my side, my work will be easier for me, but I can't be too selfish, or I'll delay you."

Wang Gensheng didn't know about what was happening on Section Chief Hu's side, nor did he care too much about it.

Then he went back to the Purchasing Department, wrote his application to join the Party, and submitted it to the Party Committee Office of the Steel Rolling Mill. Seeing that it was still early, he turned around and went to see Chief Liu of the Purchasing Department.

This trip is to cry poor! To ask for money!

Yes, you read that right. Wang Gensheng now has nearly 5,000 yuan in cash on him, but he still has to go to Section Chief Liu to complain about his poverty and to settle accounts with Deputy Director Li.

"Brother Liu, you have to think of a solution for me. I haven't been paid for the purchase of 500 kilograms of fresh fish last time. This time I have to ask my fellow villagers for fish again..."

"Hiss~ That's the truth. If we don't pay the bill for such a long time, our reputation will be ruined among our fellow villagers. Who will be willing to cooperate with us in the future?"

"Brother Liu is very wise. This is the case. Could you please give me some advice?"

Wang Gensheng put on a pitiful look, waiting for Chief Liu to give him a guarantee, thinking to himself:

This time it was you, Section Chief Liu, who asked me for help. I need to purchase fish, and you also want me to purchase watermelons. If you don't get the money for me first, I will be in a difficult situation.

Section Chief Liu stood up and walked back and forth in the office, feeling a little embarrassed.

It was clear that Deputy Director Li wanted to suppress Wang Gensheng and keep the money for a longer period of time.

Now, if you go to Deputy Director Li to ask for the money, you may not be able to get it. If you argue too much, you may even come into conflict with your boss.

The loss outweighs the gain either way!

However, if Wang Gensheng doesn't ask for an explanation, it will be difficult for him to deal with it. It will be difficult to ask anyone to do the purchasing without money!

If he doesn't give an explanation, it is more likely that Wang Gensheng will break off his relationship with him, and the meat purchasing job will not be so easy in the future.

In the end, Section Chief Liu gritted his teeth and made his final promise to Wang Gensheng.

"I will apply for 200 yuan for you first, and then I will lend you 100 yuan from my personal salary. In this way, you will have 300 yuan to use."

"I'll find a way to get the rest of the money back to you slowly. It's obviously impossible for Deputy Director Li and I to come out all at once."

Wang Gensheng nodded happily and thanked: "Thank you, Brother Liu!"

"No need to thank me, it's all for work, I can only help you up to this point."

In fact, Wang Gensheng was already very surprised to get 300 yuan.

However, Wang Gensheng could also hear it from what Section Chief Liu said.

Based on Deputy Director Li's opinion of Wang Gensheng, Section Chief Liu did not think that he could get all the 400 yuan purchase money.

Therefore, he only dared to make such a disguised promise to get the 300 yuan back.

When will the other 100 yuan be paid? I don’t know whether it will be settled by bill or how much cash can be paid?

It is impossible for Deputy Director Li to go to extremes and not pay a single cent.

In that case, he was even more afraid that Wang Gensheng would publicize this matter, and then the purchasers in the purchasing department would go on strike collectively, and Deputy Director Li would not be able to afford it.

Sure enough, when Section Chief Liu went to Deputy Director Li's office to settle the money, Deputy Director Li's face really looked long.

However, Section Chief Liu appealed to Deputy Director Li's emotions and reasoned with him.

"Boss, you know, our factory will hold a sports meet next week. This batch of fish can be used to improve the lives and diet of the athletes at the meet."

"We can show off in front of the leaders who come to visit the sports meeting, and in front of the athletes from other factories, to bring honor to our steel rolling mill. Then, we will definitely receive praise from the leaders. This is a chance for us to show off."

Deputy Director Li thought about it and felt that this seemed to be the case.

If he doesn't pay, there is no doubt that Wang Gensheng will not be able to purchase the fish.

So after careful consideration, they really approved 200 yuan for Wang Gensheng.

He pretended to be in a difficult situation and said to Section Chief Liu:

"Liu, we have this sports meet and the funds that our logistics department can mobilize are limited. You've asked for it, and if I don't give you any, it would seem that I, as the boss, am unkind. If I give you more, I'd be in a difficult position. After thinking about it, I can only approve this much at most. Please don't get upset."

Section Chief Liu stretched his head and wanted to go forward to take a look: How many are these?
