The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Li Huaide's father-in-law was no ordinary man either. Li Huaide was able to take advantage of the situation to control the steel mill for more than ten years and finally get away with it, all thanks to his father-in-law's help.

Now that Li Huaide wanted to be introduced to him, Liu Minghui thought there was nothing wrong with it and agreed.

"That's fine, then I'll just call you Uncle Li."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "There's no need to be polite in our relationship. Maybe you'll need to help me in the future."

Liu Minghui smiled when he heard this, but did not respond to Li Huaide's words.

Although from the overall situation, Liu Minghui has more opportunities and it is easier to be promoted working in the ministry, but Liu Minghui knows it in his heart.

The opportunity only lasts for the next few years. After a few more years, it will all depend on Li Huaide.

By then, he, who lived near the steel mill, still had to cling to Li Huaide's thigh.

In the afternoon, Liu Minghui came to the Ministry of Industry, which was a bit far from the steel rolling mill and it was estimated that it would take a long time to get there every day.

"Stand, who are you?"

When he arrived at the door, Liu Minghui was stopped. A security guard stopped him and asked sternly.

"Comrade, I'm here to start work. Here's my letter of introduction."

Liu Minghui was not surprised. Any leader here was no match for the steel rolling mill, so of course the entry and exit controls were strict.

After seeing Liu Minghui's letter of introduction, the other party did not let him go directly. Instead, he took it and read it carefully, and returned it to Liu Minghui after a while.

"Register and go in."

Upon hearing this, Liu Minghui registered his name at the door before entering.

There are not as many factory buildings here as in a steel rolling mill. This is a tube-shaped building with only five floors. When entering the door, Liu Minghui saw someone patrolling.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui asked someone for directions and followed the guidance of the person to reach Minister Xu's office.

"Dong dong."

"Please come in."

Only after hearing a sound from inside the room did Liu Minghui push open the door and walk in.

"Minister Xu, Liu Minghui is here to report."

After saying that, Liu Minghui stood upright, waiting for Minister Xu to ask questions.

"Okay, you look pretty energetic, not bad."

Minister Xu nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the seat in front of him and said, "Sit down and talk first."

Liu Minghui sat down obediently.

Minister Xu didn't hesitate and said directly: "It's just right that you are here. The External Procurement Department has been established and is waiting for you to start work."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your trust in me and for giving me this opportunity."

No matter what, Minister Xu is Liu Minghui's great benefactor. After all, if he had refused to agree, Lou Zhenhua would really not have replaced him.

So apart from anything else, as soon as Liu Minghui arrived here, the first thing he did was to come to Minister Xu to express his gratitude.

Minister Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. You deserve it. After all, I have investigated you. The steel mill has become famous in recent years. All this is caused by you."

Liu Minghui felt a chill down his spine when he heard that, thinking that his background was being investigated.

Before Liu Minghui could explain, Minister Xu said slowly: "Although I don't know where you got the connection, you didn't resell it, but sold it to the steel mill at a fair price. From this, we can see that you are a good person."

After Minister Xu finished speaking, he looked at Liu Minghui with a smile on his face.

When Lou Zhenhua wanted Liu Minghui to be the director, Minister Xu was of course very curious about why Lou Zhenhua mentioned Liu Minghui, so he asked someone to find out more.

From then on, we knew that Liu Minghui purchased a lot of materials for the steel rolling mill every month, and the sources of all of them could not be found. If it were not for Liu Minghui's clean background, Minister Xu's concerns would have been barely dispelled.

"But if the ministry needs you in the future, you can't refuse."

Minister Xu thought that since Liu Minghui had the ability, he had to make use of it. Originally, the factories below always bothered him because of the problem of material distribution, and Minister Xu sometimes became very annoyed.

Liu Minghui breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Minister Xu did not delve into the matter further.

"Leader, you are right. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to help."

Liu Minghui could still say this. Minister Xu had already said so, so he could not object and could only agree.

At worst, we can just blame it on the Lou family.

"Okay, we've met. Go to the purchasing department now. It's a newly established department. We've just assigned a few people to you. Take a look. If you need any help, just write a report."

After Minister Xu finished speaking, he began to chase people away.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui had no choice but to leave and followed the instructions to a remote office.

There was a sign on the door that said External Purchasing Department. Liu Minghui looked at it carefully and walked in.

This is a large office, unlike the steel mill where there are small independent offices. There are about ten desks lined up together. At this moment, there are three or five people gathered in the room, chatting about something.

"What do you think our department does? There was no news about it before."

This was what a man said, and his tone was filled with gossip.

"We just need to obey orders, why ask so many questions?"

A middle-aged woman replied unhappily.

The rest of the people didn't say anything. They were all smart people and of course they knew that the higher-ups wouldn't set up a meaningless department. Besides, the new leader was coming today, so they would know soon.

"Cough cough."

While everyone was discussing, Liu Minghui suddenly coughed, attracting the attention of several people.

"Comrade, who are you?"

The middle-aged woman asked politely.

Liu Minghui looked around at the people and then slowly said, "I'm Liu Minghui, the new director of the purchasing department."

Hearing this, several people were a little surprised. They didn't expect the new leader to be so young, but they still greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Director."

"Hello, Director."

Liu Minghui smiled and nodded when he heard this, then found a chair and sat down and asked, "Please introduce yourselves, everyone. I'm new here and I don't know you yet."

Several people stood in front of Liu Minghui, and after they looked at each other, the middle-aged woman stepped forward and introduced herself: "Hello, Director. I'm Zhao Lizhen. I'm the accountant, responsible for the financial income and expenditure of our department."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui nodded. As for the person in charge of money, it would be nice to have a more experienced one. At least he would be experienced and wouldn’t make mistakes.

Then the other four people spoke up one after another: "I'm Bai Ling, also an accountant, and I'm studying with Sister Zhao."

These are the only two women among the five people. They look young and probably have just started working. They still look innocent.

"Hello, Director. I'm Song Gang. I can drive."

"Hello, Director. I'm Xu Tian. I don't know much."

The last person to answer was the young man who had been gossiping at the beginning. Just seeing him scratching his head while answering, the others couldn't help laughing.
