The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

As soon as the news came out, the entire steel mill was in an uproar. Although there were a lot of rumors flying around before, it was still shocking when it really happened.

Expansion means recruiting workers, and everyone wants their family members to give it a try. If they can enter the steel rolling mill, it means they have an extra stable job.

In the fitter's workshop, Jia Dongxu came to Yi Zhonghai and said, "Master, is the steel mill hiring? Do you think Huairu can come in?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at the excited Jia Dongxu and knew why he did this. Now the children's household registration follows the mother. Qin Huairu has a rural household registration, so his children still have a rural household registration and are not supplied with food.

"Dongxu, let Huairu come in a few days to try and see if she can find a job here."

"Well, I'll talk to Huairu when I get back this afternoon."

Jia Dongxu nodded.

Most workers are like Jia Dongxu.

In the Purchasing Department, Liu Minghui heard the news and thought to himself, no wonder so many people didn't go out, it turned out that they all knew that something big was going to happen this morning.

Liu Minghui thought he had nothing to do so he went upstairs for a walk. He came to the door of Li Huaide's office and saw that the door was open. He walked in and saw someone was cleaning inside. Li Huaide was sitting on the sofa.

"Knock knock" Liu Minghui knocked on the door and walked in.

"Director Li."

When Li Huaide saw that Liu Minghui had arrived, he smiled and let him in.

"Minghui, come here quickly. Why call me Director? Just call me Uncle."

Liu Minghui walked over and sat down.

"There are outsiders here."

Li Huaide pointed at the young man who was cleaning and said, "Wang Zhi is my secretary now. If you need help when I'm not around, just look for him."

Wang Zhi also came over to say hello.

"Hello, Comrade Liu."

Liu Minghui stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wang Zhi.

"Brother Wang, please take good care of me in the future."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Zhi went back to work.

Then there were only two people left in the office. Li Huaide took out a cigarette and gave one to Liu Minghui. He also lit one for himself, took a few puffs, and then started talking.

"Minghui, are you busy these days?"

Liu Minghui didn't know what happened to Li Huaide.

"Not busy, I have almost completed this month's tasks."

"Then you can go out with me this afternoon."

"Oh, where are you going?" Liu Minghui asked puzzledly.

"Today, the steel mill has added several branches. The steelmaking plant and machinery factory are right next door, but the machine repair factory is far away, so I plan to go over and take a look."

Liu Minghui was stunned when he heard this. Could this be a machine repair factory where people are made of iron and food is made of steel?

"Okay, I'll go with you this afternoon."

Liu Minghui replied that as to whether it was appropriate or not, he would have to go and take a look for himself to find out.

Afterwards, Liu Minghui chatted with Li Huaide for a while and then left. Since Li Huaide was promoted today, there would definitely be a lot of people coming to visit him later, so he didn't want to stay and get in the way.

Liu Minghui had nothing to do so he went back to the purchasing department. After a while it was time for lunch.

Liu Minghui picked up his lunch box and went to the canteen. The workers had not arrived yet, and a group of people from the purchasing department walked towards the canteen in a mighty manner.

A group of people came to the window for getting food, and Liu Minghui saw Sha Zhu standing behind the window.

"Liu Minghui, come here." At this time, Xu Damao shouted to Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui saw that there was no one behind him, so he walked over. This window was where Sha Zhu got his meals. Whenever Xu Damao ate at the factory, he would come to Sha Zhu's window. In his words, he enjoyed the feeling of Sha Zhu serving him.

"Da Mao, you didn't go to the countryside to show the movie today. Where's Uncle Xu?"

Liu Minghui came behind Xu Damao and asked.

Xu Damao said happily, "My dad went to work at the cinema, so the workstation at the steel mill was left to me."

Father Xu had been a projectionist for many years and had very good skills, so it was easy for him to find a job in a cinema.

"So you got a permanent job today."

There was only one job position for a projectionist at the steel rolling mill, and Xu Damao would not be able to get a permanent job unless Xu's father left.

"correct."

After chatting with Xu Damao for a while, he was moved to the front of the line. Xu Damao walked up and spoke to Sha Zhu.

"Hey, Shazhu, I'm officially a regular employee today. Give me a meat dish and two steamed buns."

"So what if you've been promoted? You're still nothing in my eyes."

Sha Zhu took the money and filled a spoonful with it, but after shaking it for a while, only some potatoes and cabbage were left in the lunch box. Liu Minghui saw it from behind and thought that Sha Zhu's spoon-shaking technique was really amazing.

Xu Damao was so angry that he picked up his lunch box and left with a look of resentment. After all, what else could he do if he couldn't win?

"Liu Minghui, what do you want to eat?" Sha Zhu said to Liu Minghui.

"One serving of meat and two steamed buns." He handed over the meal ticket. Sha Zhu prepared the meal normally, and Liu Minghui had never had any conflict with Sha Zhu, so he did not shake the spoon.

After Liu Minghui took the lunch box, he found a seat and started eating.

When Xu Damao saw Liu Minghui, he walked over.

"Minghui, come to my place for dinner tonight. My parents are moving out today, and I'll be living alone from now on. My dad asked a few uncles to come over for dinner, so why don't you come too?"

Liu Minghui thought about it and guessed that Xu's father had allocated a house near the cinema.

"I have to go out again this afternoon. I don't know if I can make it back in time."

Liu Minghui didn't want to refuse, he just wanted to see what time he could come back in the afternoon.

Xu Damao listened to the advice and said, "Why don't you go to the countryside today?"

"Who told you I was going to the countryside?"

"Is not it?"

Xu Damao was very confused. As a purchasing agent, why wouldn't you go to the countryside?

"I'm going to the machine repair shop with Deputy Director Li this afternoon."

Xu Damao was very surprised. Wasn't Liu Minghui from the countryside? How could he know Deputy Director Li?

"What's wrong with you? Are you very familiar with Deputy Director Li?"

Liu Minghui knew what he was thinking when he saw him like this.

"The relationship is OK."

Liu Minghui nodded calmly.

Xu Damao didn't expect that the most powerful person in the courtyard was Liu Minghui, who was looked down upon by everyone before. Before Liu Minghui was promoted to a regular employee, no one paid any attention to him, because everyone thought that he was a country boy and would definitely not be able to stay in the city for a long time, so apart from Yan Bugui, no one else had much communication with him.

"Minghui, if you have the chance, please say a few good words for me in front of Deputy Director Li."

Xu Damao thought that his work in the Propaganda Department was also under the jurisdiction of Deputy Director Li, so he silently thought to himself that he must not offend Liu Minghui, otherwise it would be bad if Liu Minghui said something bad about him one day.

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance." After saying that, Liu Minghui concentrated on eating. To be honest, this Sha Zhu's cooking skills are really good.

The food cooked at this time when there was a lack of seasonings was also very delicious. No wonder no one cared about Sha Zhu bringing a lunch box all day. Even beating Li Huaide was fine.

After eating, Liu Minghui said hello to Xu Damao and left. He planned to go back to the purchasing department to have a nap first. Anyway, Li Huaide would not go to the machine repair factory so soon.
