The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

After saying this, Section Chief Zhang turned around and went upstairs to attend a meeting. The steel rolling mill holds a meeting every Monday to discuss various matters.

After a while, all the buyers arrived. Tong Xiao told them that there would be meat and vegetables in the cafeteria at noon, so they all stayed together and gathered in groups of three or four to smoke and chat. Liu Minghui also joined in. There were eight of them smoking together, and it was pitch dark in the room. Anyway, Tong Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and went to the finance department.

When Section Chief Zhang came back and opened the door, the smoke immediately had a place to vent and all rushed to the door, choking Section Chief Zhang.

"You bunch of bad boys, why don't you open the door when you smoke? You make it look like there's a fire." Section Chief Zhang scolded a few people.

Liu Minghui was very cunning. He slipped out when the section chief came in. After seeing that they had finished the meeting, Liu Minghui planned to go to Li Huaide.

Li Huaide's office was on the fourth floor. Liu Minghui walked upstairs and came to the door of Li Huaide's office, which read "Director of the Logistics Department."

Yes, Li Huaide is not yet the deputy director Li in the original plot. Last year, with the help of his father-in-law, Li Huaide was parachuted into the steel rolling mill as the logistics director.

Liu Minghui knocked on the door. After a while, a voice came from inside, "Come in." Liu Minghui pushed the door open and went in, and saw Li Huaide looking at a document.

"It's Xiao Liu, come in and sit down. You haven't been here for a long time." When Li Huaide saw that it was Liu Minghui, he stood up and led Liu Minghui to sit on the sofa, and took out tea to make it.

Liu Minghui was not surprised, because Li Huaide treated him like this every time he came. Li Huaide always treated capable people well, especially the purchasing department where Liu Minghui worked, which was originally under his management. Liu Minghui could be considered Li Huaide's direct subordinate.

"Director Li, what you said is really true. I'm busy in the countryside and I can't stay in the factory every day." Liu Minghui looked at Li Huaide and said.

Li Huaide just smiled and said, "I don't know you yet. With your ability, do you still need to go to the countryside every day? I don't even want to expose you."

Li Huaide has been keeping an eye on Liu Minghui ever since Liu Minghui traded him a few pigs for a job half a year ago. Li Huaide also knew that Liu Minghui was a capable man, and as a newly-initiated logistics director, he must win him over.

Liu Minghui didn't react much after being exposed. He knew that Li Huaide was trying to show his closeness to him and that he was paying attention to him.

Liu Minghui naturally knew that if he wanted to stay in the steel mill, he had to choose a side. There were two major factions in the steel mill, namely Deputy Director Yang in charge of production and Li Huaide in charge of logistics. Yes, Director Yang in the original plot has not yet taken office. The current leader of the steel mill is Secretary Nie, who is also the director.

Secretary Nie is an old revolutionary, and the Security Department is mainly under his leadership. However, there are rumors that the steel rolling mill is going to expand its scale, and then Secretary Nie will retire. The most likely successor after Secretary Nie’s retirement will be Deputy Director Yang. After all, Deputy Director Yang also has the support of senior leaders behind him.

Everyone knows that Li Huaide's father-in-law is a high-ranking official. He was parachuted in as the logistics director this year. However, the steel rolling mill does not have a deputy director in charge of logistics yet, so it is obvious that he is aiming for this position.

However, although the people who came now did not belong to the same faction, they were still very harmonious. After all, Secretary Nie was still there, and the two of them could not fight with each other.

Liu Minghui looked at Li Huaide and said with a smile, "Director Li, I brought you a good thing." Then he took out a paper bag from his arms and placed it on the table.

Li Huaide looked at the thing without opening it and asked, "What is this?"

Liu Minghui said quietly, "Tiger whip. A few days ago, a hunter in the village went into the mountains and hunted a tiger. I bought this prepared tiger whip when I returned."

When Li Huaide heard this, he immediately opened the bag and took a look. He knew that Liu Minghui was right. He immediately stood up and put the things in the drawer, then took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed it to Liu Minghui.

"Xiao Liu, take this cigarette and smoke it. If you have any more of these good things in the future, remember to save them for me."

Liu Minghui took it with a happy look on his face. Nowadays, there are very few cigarettes with filters, and he was not used to it. He took it, opened a pack and lit up a cigarette.

"This cigarette is better to smoke. Daqianmen is too choking."

Li Huaide laughed and scolded: "At my level, I don't have much cigarettes every month.

Liu Minghui listened and said indifferently: "Aren't you going to make further progress soon? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Li Huaide said with a worried look on his face: "I didn't expect that even you knew about it, but it's not that easy to deal with this."

Seeing Li Huaide's expression, Liu Minghui said, "This steel mill is so small that the whole factory will know about it in an instant. Tell me what questions you have and see if I can help."

Liu Minghui also knew that things were not so easy to get. Since he had decided to get close to Li Huaide, he would do it thoroughly. He had to help Li Huaide solve this matter and show his ability.

Li Huaide sighed and said, "Now I'm just afraid that the workers will be dissatisfied. After all, my prestige is not enough. It would be great if I had ten or eight pigs." After saying that, Li Huaide looked at Liu Minghui with hope.

When Liu Minghui heard this, his face darkened. He stopped calling the director, "Old Li, you are kidding, right? Who can just casually take out ten pigs these days?"

Li Huaide had no objection to Liu Minghui calling him Lao Li. After all, Liu Minghui was not his subordinate, and the two of them got along more like friends.

"I know you can do it. I have a bicycle ticket here. If you do me this favor, the ticket will be yours."

Li Huaide looked at Liu Minghui and said, Liu Minghui thought about it carefully and realized that the food supply was not tight now, so there should be no problem in taking out ten pigs.

The office fell silent. No one spoke. After a few minutes, Liu Minghui said, "When do you want it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide said happily: "Is there any now? If there is, just pull it over tonight." Liu Minghui had learned driving from Master Li of the transport team before, so Li Huaide also knew it.

"Are you in such a hurry?" Liu Minghui asked puzzledly.

Li Huaide lit a cigarette and took a few puffs before speaking: "You also know that the steel mill will basically be merged with several nearby factories next month. Time is tight now."

Liu Minghui nodded to show his understanding: "Prepare a truck for me this afternoon. I will leave when I am about to get off work. You can bring people to wait for me at the factory in the evening, but you must tell others that you got this batch of materials through connections."

Although Liu Minghui planned to help Li Huaide, he couldn't bear the pressure alone.
