The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Although Liu Minghui was going south, he did not forget to purchase supplies for the steel rolling mill, and he had prepared them in advance.

Wang Wen took the key with a look of surprise.

"I'm not as capable as you, but I feel relieved that I have half a month's supply."

Here Liu Minghui was arranging things for Wang Wen.

In the kitchen on the other side, Cui Dake was frowning and thinking.

"It's difficult."

Cui Dake sighed and muttered to himself.

"What's wrong, Master Cui? Is today's meal difficult to prepare?"

An old lady nearby heard it and came over to ask.

Cui Dake calmed down for a moment, and then he explained after a while.

"No, it's no problem."

Immediately afterwards, Cui Dake stopped thinking about those things and focused on his work.

When lunch was ready, Cui Dake came to the cafeteria door and looked into the distance alone.

"Humph, it seems that I can't make this money."

Cui Dake threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said helplessly.

Cui Dake no longer wanted to make this money at this time, but he didn't know whether it would be as he wished.

Time passed quickly and it was time for Liu Minghui to set off.

"You should be careful when you go out."

Yu Li was packing Liu Minghui's luggage at this time.

She kept on talking like an old woman.

Liu Minghui did not reject Yu Li's kindness and listened quietly.

...

"Then I'm leaving. If you have any problems, go find Liu Lin or the second brother next door. Don't worry about me."

After saying goodbye, Liu Minghui went to the train station carrying a cloth bag.

The above arrangement is that everyone will first take the train south, and then change to a bus after arriving in Guangzhou.

"Hello comrade, are you from the steel mill?"

When he arrived at the train station, a young man in his thirties came up to him, shook hands with Liu Minghui enthusiastically, and even wanted to help him with his luggage.

"No need, I can do it myself. I'm Liu Minghui, from the purchasing department of the steel mill."

Liu Minghui didn't want to trouble him, so he refused and introduced himself.

"Oh, you are Chief Liu. I have heard of you. I work at the textile factory. We are all gathered here."

The visitor was very enthusiastic and somewhat outgoing. Without waiting for Liu Minghui to ask, he told everything in one go.

"The train will leave in half an hour. They will leave for a while and gather together to board the train later."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui nodded to show that he understood.

I took out a bay leaf and gave him one.

"Comrade, what do you call me?"

The man took it and lit it without hesitation.

"My name is Ma Qixi, and I work in the purchasing department of the textile factory. You can just call me Lao Ma."

Ma Qixi introduced himself. Liu Minghui seemed to have heard of this person, but it didn't seem to be a good thing.

Seeing Liu Minghui's thoughtful expression, Ma Qixi did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"Don't think about it. I'm the one who got demoted, you know."

After hearing him say this, Liu Minghui finally remembered who it was.

Isn't this the person that the deputy director of the textile factory mentioned when he went to seek Liu Minghui's help?

It is said that he was driven out of office by the workers because he could not purchase materials, and it seems that the section chief was demoted to deputy section chief.

As if seeing Liu Minghui's pity, Ma Qixi looked nonchalant.

"Don't look at me like that. I feel much more relaxed now. These past two years have been really hard."

Although he looked carefree, Ma Qixi still felt a little lost inside.

Liu Minghui didn't know how to comfort her, so the two of them could only smoke here silently and wait for others to arrive.

"Comrade, sorry for the wait."

Not long after, the other three arrived.

"It won't be long. We can get in the car. Let's talk in the car."

Liu Minghui and the other man stood up and said.

The train was not that crowded. Five people were in one carriage. Liu Minghui and three of them shared a berth, leaving one person alone in the next berth.

"Hey, what should I call you comrade?"

After settling down, Liu Minghui and a few others sat on the lower bunk and started chatting.

"I'm Ma Qixi, and this is Comrade Liu Minghui, from the Steel Rolling Mill."

Ma Qixi said in a very familiar manner.

"Hello, Comrade Ma and Comrade Liu. My name is Qian Yi. You can just call me Xiao Qian."

This is a young man about the same age as Liu Minghui, wearing a pair of glasses and full of bookish air.

"Comrade Qian, hello, hello."

The others greeted him one after another.

The other two, in particular, were more enthusiastic about Qian Yi.

"I'm Shen Jin, and I'm the leader this time. I've been to Hong Kong Island before, so I'm familiar with the place this time."

This is an older middle-aged man, who spoke very calmly.

"Leader Shen, I didn't expect you to be sent out this time. Nice to meet you."

Liu Minghui didn't know this person, but Ma Qixi went up to him and shook his hand excitedly.

Liu Minghui didn't understand what was going on, but he still echoed the words.

"Go wherever you are needed. We still need to discuss it together."

Shen Jin spoke very modestly, without much pride on his face.

The remaining one was a middle-aged man who just said something lightly.

"Chen Hua."

Chen Hua looks big and burly, and Liu Minghui just noticed him.

This person is obviously Qian Yi's main person. It seems that Qian Yi is someone with a prominent background, but no one knows what his background is.

"Haha, Brother Chen doesn't talk much, please don't mind."

Qian Yi laughed it off and helped to explain.

The three of them saw this and quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After getting to know each other, it was time for lunch. Since we had just met, we took out the food we had prepared and shared it.

Liu Minghui took out the food prepared by Yu Li, two whole lunch boxes.

"Let's eat together. It's a pity there's no wine, otherwise we could drink some."

A small table was placed in the aisle, and Liu Minghui said after taking out the lunch box.

"Okay."

Ma Qixi was a generous person and not one to fuss over anything. Upon hearing Liu Minghui say this, he took out his lunch.

"You're welcome, Comrade Liu."

The same went for the other three people. They all brought their lunch and were not polite.

"Well, Comrade Liu, the food is good."

Shen Jin was very surprised because what Liu Minghui took out was not simple.

Not to mention a box of scrambled eggs, there is also a full box of braised pork, which is a lot of food.

The others were also surprised. They didn't expect that Liu Minghui, who seemed unknown, actually ate much better than them.

"No, no, my wife insisted that I bring her here. Please don't be polite."

They were silent for a moment, and Qian Yi spoke up to remind them.

"In that case, we won't be polite. We'll ask you to go back after we reach our destination."

Qian Yi is not an ordinary person. He looked at Liu Minghui deeply, and then started eating.

After communicating over the meal, everyone became more enthusiastic, at least not as reserved as when they first met.
