The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

At the steel rolling mill, Liu Minghui came to the factory in a good mood.

"Chief Liu, good morning."

When he met the workers, some of them greeted him. Liu Minghui was considered a big shot in the steel mill, and most people knew him.

"morning."

Liu Minghui also responded happily.

Passing by the guard post, Liu Minghui met an unexpected person.

"Chief Liu, long time no see."

The person who came was Ding Qiunan, wearing a clean factory uniform, and was arguing with the security guard about something.

"Dr. Ding, what are you doing?"

Liu Minghui looked at her in confusion. At this moment, the security guard was talking to Ding Qiunan1 in a rather unpleasant tone.

However, when he saw Liu Minghui coming, the security guard's tone softened a lot.

"Chief Liu, do you know each other?"

Lao Wang was the security guard at the steel rolling mill. He was a very shrewd man. When he saw that Ding Qiunan knew Liu Minghui, his tone immediately became much better.

"Yes." Liu Minghui nodded slightly and asked calmly what was going on.

"Section Chief Liu, you don't know that this female comrade wants to see Deputy Director Li, but she has no evidence. I, an old man, can't just let her in."

"And now the management of steel mills is very strict, as you know." Lao Wang was very embarrassed.

Ever since the Cui Dake incident some time ago, the steel mill has tightened its management of entry and exit, and Liu Minghui also knows this.

Ding Qiunan's face turned ugly after hearing this. His already cold personality gave off an aura that kept strangers away.

When he heard Lao Wang say this, he immediately started to blame him.

"It's not your fault. I told you I'm from the machine repair shop. Why don't you just tell Deputy Director Li?"

Ding Qiunan's voice was very loud, and she was also a very beautiful woman, so she immediately attracted a lot of people.

"The problem is, you said you were from a machine repair shop, but how would I know that? You didn't prove that you weren't."

Lao Wang was very helpless. Seeing this, Liu Minghui quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Hey, Doctor Ding, please don't embarrass him. I'll take you to see Deputy Director Li."

Not to mention Ding Qiunan, Lao Wang immediately became happy after hearing this and couldn't wait to send this girl away.

"Yes, Chief Liu can definitely help you. Just sign and you can go in."

Afterwards, Liu Minghui took Ding Qiunan away first, as people could not continue to watch.

"Doctor Ding, I wonder why you came to the steel mill?"

On the way, Liu Minghui asked curiously. He remembered that Ding Qiunan was a doctor in the machine repair factory and would not come to the steel rolling mill for no reason.

Hearing this, Ding Qiunan explained with a longing tone, "I just want the main factory to issue a certificate so that I can go to college."

Liu Minghui frowned after hearing this. He remembered that Ding Qiunan had always wanted to go to university for further studies, but it seemed that because of Ding's father, Ding Qiunan's background was problematic.

Moreover, there is no other doctor in the machine repair shop who can replace him, so it is probably impossible for them to let him go.

Recalling that in the original drama, Ding Qiunan would write to the head office every year, hoping to go to college, but failed every time.

Liu Minghui didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so he tried to persuade her in a tactful tone.

"Doctor Ding, it's a good thing to have ambitions and go to college, but you need to discuss these things with your family."

What Liu Minghui meant was that you should go back and talk to your family, and I believe Ding’s father will tell her.

I don’t know if it was because I didn’t express myself clearly or what, but Ding Qiunan was very happy when he heard it, as if he had found someone with whom he had a common topic, and he kept talking about it.

"No hurry. I'll tell my family once the news comes out. It'll be a good surprise for my parents."

At this time, Ding Qiunan was still filled with joy at the impending success, as if seeing Li Huaide would solve the problem.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui could only shake his head and sigh. This silly girl didn't understand what he was saying at all.

Forget it, just take her to Li Huaide.

Afterwards, Liu Minghui stopped talking and just said a few perfunctory words when Ding Qiunan asked him questions.

"Uncle Li, good morning."

When Liu Minghui arrived at Li Huaide's office and saw that the door was not closed, he walked in directly.

"Hey, why are you here? Who is this?"

Li Huaide raised his head and asked in surprise, then he saw Ding Qiunan following behind Liu Minghui.

Ding Qiunan was still surprised at this time because she found that Liu Minghui and Deputy Director Li of the general factory had such a good relationship. She was still thinking about something.

Hearing Li Huaide's question, he hurried out to answer.

"Hello, Deputy Director Li, I'm Ding Qiunan from the machine repair factory."

Hearing this, Li Huaide nodded, indicating that he understood, but he had no impression of anything else.

Although Ding Qiunan had been to the steel mill before, he didn't remember her.

Ding Qiunan was still thinking about what to say at this time. When Liu Minghui saw that the person had arrived, he said goodbye to Li Huaide.

"Now that I've brought the person here, I'll go back to work. Goodbye, Doctor Ding."

After saying that, after Li Huaide nodded, Liu Minghui left Li Huaide's office on his own.

There was no need to stay. Liu Minghui knew that Li Huaide would not approve Ding Qiunan's application, because even if he agreed, it would be stuck in the personnel department.

"Hey, Chief Liu, why are you here just now? The canteen director has been waiting for you for a long time."

When Li Yue saw him, she greeted him hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Minghui knew that it was not a good thing. The materials not planned by the purchasing department could be said to be purchased for the canteen. Needless to say, the canteen director was waiting for him here and he could tell at a glance that he was here to ask for supplies.

"Okay, I'll go see what he says."

Waving his hand, Liu Minghui went straight to the office.

"Hey, what a rare visitor, Director Wang. It's been a long time since we last met."

When I entered the room, I saw a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, and Wang Wen was talking to him.

Seeing Liu Minghui coming, Director Wang immediately stood up, took Liu Minghui's hand, and pleaded with tears in his eyes.

"Chief Liu, I'm here to ask for help."

Director Wang's tone was sad, as if he had been bullied, which made Liu Minghui stunned.

"Director Wang, what are you doing? Have you been bullied by someone?"

Wang Wen also chimed in, "Yes, the cafeteria is the easiest place to work right now. Is there still a shortage on the road?"

This was true. After all, Liu Minghui had just purchased a large batch of grain at the beginning of the year. Although a lot of it was exchanged with other factories in Sijiu City, there was no need to worry about food shortage now.

"Yeah, is there no food?"

Liu Minghui helped Director Wang sit down on the sofa, and then asked with a smile.

"That's not the case. We have plenty of food in our steel mill now."

Director Wang now explained, and then said to Liu Minghui with a wry smile.

"But the steel mill is short of oil and water. The workers have to do heavy work every day. It's impossible for them to just eat steamed bread every day."
