The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Yu Li was puzzled after hearing this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiao'e's family, does this have anything to do with her?"

Liu Minghui nodded: "Yes, the next thing I have to do is to contact Lou Zhenhua. He will help me purchase some things."

Liu Minghui did not explain in detail. Yu Li did not need to know these things too carefully. It would be enough to have a basic understanding of them.

"That's it."

Yu Li said thoughtfully.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's eat first."

Liu Minghui did not talk about this topic anymore, but picked up the steamed bun on the table and started eating.

Although Yu Li had to go to work today and did not go to the steel mill, the food on the table was not bad.

It can be said that the Liu family's food is first-rate in the courtyard. There is meat in almost every meal, but in order not to attract other people's attention, most of the time Liu Minghui brings back some braised meat and the like. Food like these does not have much taste.

Otherwise, eating meat every day would attract too much attention.

The next day at work, Liu Minghui was in his office. Although he knew he would be transferred in a few days, he still needed to finish his work.

Not long after, Li Yue came in and said that Wang Wen was looking for him. Liu Minghui knew the reason for his coming, so he let him in.

"Director, good morning. I'm here to report my work to you."

As soon as Wang Wen entered the room, he put on a very humble attitude, as if he was following Liu Minghui's lead.

Liu Minghui smiled slightly when he saw this. He certainly knew why Wang Wen wanted to leave. It was mainly because the news that Liu Minghui was about to be transferred had spread, and even Wang Wen knew about it.

Wang Wen felt very bitter. He had been working diligently in the purchasing department and had dreamed of getting a regular position after the new year. He didn't expect that after such a short time, his backer would leave.

So as soon as he heard the news, Wang Wen came immediately.

Liu Minghui looked at Wang Wen's anxious face, sighed and said, "You heard about it too?"

Wang Wen nodded somewhat awkwardly: "Yes, Director, I know that you are going to transfer from the steel mill. Do you think I can go with you?"

From the perspective of outsiders, now that Liu Minghui is gone, Wang Wen can take over the power of the purchasing department alone and all he has to do is wait quietly.

But Wang Wen himself knew that he was just Liu Minghui's assistant, and he didn't have any strong team in the purchasing department.

Without channels and unable to purchase materials, he would not be able to hold on to his position as deputy chief of the purchasing department.

The channels under his control may not be as good as those of some old employees. For example, he does not have the ability to purchase large quantities of supplies like Liu Minghui every month.

Seeing Wang Wen say this, Liu Minghui was in a good mood. After all, from this point of view, at least his subordinate was quite loyal.

Liu Minghui thought about it and decided to give Wang Wen a chance, so he explained, "You should stay in the steel mill. I will recommend you to be the head of the purchasing department. I believe the leaders will agree."

Wang Wen gradually calmed down after hearing this, thinking that Liu Minghui was still good to him, but he still wanted to plead with a face: "Director, then these supplies..."

This is the most important thing. As long as we can purchase the supplies, everything else can be discussed.

Just like when Liu Minghui made large purchases before, Li Huaide took care of it.

"Don't worry about this, I will support you."

Liu Minghui knew what he wanted to say and agreed in one breath.

Wang Wen smiled immediately after hearing this.

"Then I would like to thank the Director."

......

A few days later, the above document was issued.

Liu Minghui was transferred to the ministry to serve as director of the External Liaison and Procurement Department, which was considered a horizontal transfer.

As soon as Liu Minghui received the transfer order today, he came to Li Huaide's office.

The door was not locked, so Liu Minghui knocked and went straight in.

"Here I am. It seems I have received the notice."

Seeing Liu Minghui coming to his house, Li Huaide said with an expression as if he had known it for a long time.

Liu Minghui nodded and said, "Yes, I have to report to the department this afternoon, so I'm in a hurry."

Liu Minghui came to see Li Huaide this time to say goodbye, not for anything else, but mainly because of material supply issues.

The amount of materials Liu Minghui provides to the steel mill every month is not a small amount. Liu Minghui has left, but he cannot just leave. He still needs to discuss it with Li Huaide.

"I wonder who you plan to hand over the purchasing department to after I leave?"

Liu Minghui planned to test Li Huaide's attitude. If he didn't have any candidate, he would push Wang Wen forward.

After Liu Minghui explained the matter, Li Huaide nodded, then sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette for himself, blew a smoke ring, and then slowly said, "This matter is also a headache for me. There is no one else in the purchasing department who can hold up the store except you. Do you have any ideas?"

As a last resort, Li Huaide could only pass the ball to Liu Minghui to see if he could come up with a win-win solution.

Liu Minghui didn't think for long before saying, "I think Wang Wen is good. He is now the deputy director of the purchasing department. He has worked diligently before. I believe he can be competent for this job."

Liu Minghui did not plan to leave the steel mill and never come back, so he thought of staying there.

After all, even with the help of the Lou family, it would probably be difficult to contact them in a few years, and Liu Minghui would probably have to return to the steel mill by then.

After hearing this, Li Huaide thought about it carefully. Wang Wen was indeed a good person. He was not ostentatious, low-key, and serious about his work. These were his advantages. Apart from the fact that he only listened to Liu Minghui, he had no other disadvantages.

But Li Huaide also knew that if Liu Minghui was asked to hand over the channel for free, it would not work even if Li Huaide was his uncle, not to mention that their relationship was not that good.

Then we can only push someone out to take over.

Li Huaide pondered for a moment before pointing his finger at Liu Minghui, as if to say that he was scheming too much.

But in the end, Li Huaide was ready to agree. If he couldn't control it, then he couldn't control it. He didn't want to fall out with Liu Minghui, so it was better to maintain a close relationship, which was in his best interest.

"Wang Wen, I remember this guy. He's your capable subordinate. Since you said he can be the section chief, then he can be the section chief. But the steel mill must not be cut off from supplies later."

Li Huaide agreed immediately, but still gave some instructions.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui smiled happily and nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

"No problem, I'll go back and tell him."

The problem was solved and the communication between the two became much more harmonious.

Li Huaide thought about the news he got from his father-in-law, and reminded Liu Minghui: "I will let my father-in-law meet you someday. He also works in the department. If you have any grievances, there will be someone to help you."
