The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Director Yang's office was rather plain, at least not like Li Huaide's, which was filled with many things. As far as Liu Minghui could see, there was only a bookshelf against the wall, which was filled with many documents and some books.

At this time, Li Huaide was standing opposite Liu Minghui. Seeing him looking around, Li Huaide coughed twice, attracted Liu Minghui's attention, and then gave Liu Minghui a look that told him not to talk nonsense.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui sat up straight instantly. He knew that this trip was not a simple matter. Didn’t he see that Li Huaide didn’t interrupt much?

Liu Minghui had a thousand thoughts churning in his mind. Before he could figure it out, Director Yang spoke.

"Supplies are scarce recently. Xiao Liu, do you have any solution?"

"Especially now that the canteen has not had any meat for a month, the workers are quite dissatisfied."

Director Yang said in a serious tone that this was the reason why he called Li Huaide and Liu Minghui over for a small meeting.

The production tasks of steel rolling mills are quite severe nowadays, and the labor is heavy, so they cannot do without oil and water.

"Hey, hasn't the meat processing factory delivered it yet?"

Liu Minghui asked in confusion, but Director Yang remained silent. The main reason was that the meat processing plant did not supply much pork this month, so of course the leaders of the steel rolling mill would be given priority.

Not only did Director Yang entertain guests many times, but some of them also came to visit the steel rolling mill. Since they were guests, they couldn't be fed with steamed buns. The few pieces of meat sent by the Meat Processing Plant were all used by Director Yang for the reception meal.

Director Yang remained silent, but Li Huaide spoke up.

“We have entertained quite a lot recently, but we can’t blame Xiao Liu. After all, the purchasing department is also difficult, and the countryside is also difficult.”

After hearing this, Liu Minghui did not say anything and just watched the two men arguing. It was Li Huaide who asked him not to transport the supplies back. The two men were already starting to fight.

If Director Yang wants to take control of the purchasing department, he can't get around Li Huaide. Now Director Yang is using his status to interfere in the logistics department. Li Huaide will certainly not back down and directly uses the reason of purchasing difficulties to stop Liu Minghui from purchasing supplies.

Director Yang had no way to deal with this and could only try to win over Liu Minghui. However, knowing his future, Liu Minghui would certainly not side with Director Yang.

Exchanges like today's have taken place several times this month, but in the end Li Huaide tried to smooth things over. No matter what others say, the purchasing department has no choice but to purchase supplies.

Li Huaide was giving up. He directly said that Liu Minghui should be transferred out of the purchasing department. After all, there were many logistics departments and there would be no shortage of positions.

Liu Minghui certainly had no objection to this. He could leave Sijiu City at any time. No matter how the two fought for power, it would not affect him in the end.

Director Yang refused of course, but Liu Minghui clearly obeyed Li Huaide's orders and ignored him completely.

Director Yang was very troubled by this. He didn't understand what benefits Li Huaide gave to Liu Minghui to make him so loyal to him.

"I don't care. If we can't procure supplies, then there's no need for the Procurement Department to exist. It would be better to move the Procurement Department to the canteen and let each canteen be responsible for purchasing."

Seeing that he could not do anything to Li Huaide, Director Yang simply overturned the table. The steel rolling mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees. Some small factories do not have a purchasing department. They just have one or two buyers under the canteen, which is at most a department-level unit.

Li Huaide was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect Director Yang to be so tough, but he still calmed down and thought about this proposal.

The main steel rolling mill has five canteens. He Yuzhu, the team leader of the first canteen, can now be considered his man. The other two, including the third and fourth canteens, were appointed by Director Yang. Usually, Li Huaide's words are useless.

Li Huaide was wondering whether Director Yang's proposal was to split up the purchasing department and then build up the canteen. In the future, the canteen would not only be responsible for meals, but would also have the power to go out for purchases.

"Well, Minghui, what do you think?"

Li Huaide, who couldn't figure out the pros and cons, could only look at Liu Minghui opposite him, and Director Yang also looked over at him.

Liu Minghui did not feel uncomfortable being stared at by the two men. Instead, he was thinking carefully.

As the head of the purchasing department, he does have a very leisurely life, but others don't know that and think he is very busy. After all, he purchases most of the materials every month, and the rest are purchased by the buyers.

Now Liu Minghui has shifted his focus to Hong Kong Island and goes there every week. In this case, Liu Minghui calmed himself down, looked at the two of them seriously and said.

"I have no objection. I will follow the arrangements of the two leaders."

After these words were spoken, Director Yang and Li Huaide were both stunned. Unlike Li Huaide who was stunned, Director Yang was furious.

Although he said that just now, he mainly wanted to take advantage of Liu Minghui, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the other person's arms.

Since Liu Minghui said he had no opinion, it means he doesn't care whether there is a purchasing department or not, because whoever has the supplies is the boss, even if you have channels.

Liu Minghui was sure that he was not in any trouble and that Director Yang could not suppress him, so he was fearless and did not care about this matter.

"Well, let's discuss this matter in the conference room next week."

Director Yang finished speaking angrily, picked up the teacup and started drinking. Seeing this, Liu Minghui and Li Huaide knew that Director Yang was trying to chase them away, so they got up and left.

Afterwards, in Li Huaide's office, looking at Liu Minghui sitting opposite him, Li Huaide sighed.

"Old Yang is in big trouble now. Tsk tsk."

Li Huaide said with a gloating tone

But after the joke, Li Huaide looked at Liu Minghui seriously and asked, "Since you don't want to stay in the purchasing department, then come to the logistics department. Think about it, you can go anywhere."

When Liu Minghui heard this, he suddenly felt a warm current in his heart. Li Huaide had really taken good care of him in the past few years. No matter what Liu Minghui did, Li Huaide was supporting him behind the scenes. This time was no exception. Li Huaide even planned to transfer him to another department.

"It's up to Uncle Li to arrange it. If you want a less busy job, then think about it."

Hearing this, Li Huaide laughed and scolded: "You kid, you only know how to be lazy."

Although he didn't like it, Li Huaide was still thinking about what position would be suitable for him.

In Director Yang's office, after Li Huaide and Liu Minghui left, Director Yang sulked in the room.

"Damn, these two people."

Director Yang is now in a dilemma. If it is a temporary difficulty, Director Yang is not afraid, because he has a few comrades-in-arms. Director Yang also came to the steel rolling mill after demobilization. If necessary, it is not difficult to get some supplies, but it is not possible for a long time.

Now Director Yang doesn't know how to deal with this, especially with Li Huaide, who is competing with him for power in the steel rolling mill. He also has people backing him up. Li Huaide's father-in-law is no simple man and is at the same level as Director Yang's leader.

Now he is thinking about whether he should visit his old leader.
