The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Good morning, everyone."

Liu Minghui greeted everyone.

Then they sat down at their seats. In this weather, no one went to the countryside, but stayed in the purchasing department to chat and brag.

The steel mill will be closed the day after tomorrow, so I've only been here to clean up and there's not much to do these two days.

After a while, Zhang Zhiqiang came in and saw Liu Minghui leaning on a chair reading a newspaper. He walked over and said, "Minghui, cadres from several nearby communes will be coming over at noon today. Come with me and I'll introduce them to you."

This has been mentioned before. Today, Zhang Zhiqiang invited people to dinner, mainly to introduce Liu Minghui to them.

"Okay, Chief."

Liu Minghui nodded, he was well prepared for this.

Many buyers nearby were very envious when they heard this. All signs indicated that Zhang Zhiqiang wanted to promote Liu Minghui.

Many people feel a little jealous when they think that he becomes a leader within less than a year after joining the factory.

"Alas, who can blame him for being so capable? There's nothing I can do if I can't compete with him.

This is what most people think.

Zhang Zhiqiang came out when it was almost time for lunch.

"Minghui is gone. Let's go eat."

Liu Minghui stood up immediately. He was bored to death having nothing to do all morning.

Liu Minghui opened the drawer and took out two bottles of Moutai, then followed Zhang Zhiqiang out of the purchasing department.

"Hey, you brought your own drinks, Maotai, you're living a good life."

Zhang Zhiqiang looked at the Moutai in Liu Minghui's hand and nodded. At least he gave him enough face.

The two came to the cafeteria. Zhang Zhiqiang went to find the cafeteria director to make arrangements, while Liu Minghui went into the box first to wait.

After a while, Zhang Zhiqiang came in, sat down and said to Liu Minghui: "Today, the secretaries of four nearby communes will come here. They are Hongxing Commune, Chaoyang Commune, Haidian Commune and Fengtai Commune."

"These are relatively close to us, and our buyers usually go to these places to make their purchases."

Zhang Zhiqiang and Liu Minghui talked about the conditions of these communes and the personalities of the commune secretaries.

After a while, someone came in with a few people, and Zhang Zhiqiang and Liu Minghui went to greet them.

"Welcome to our steel mill."

"You're too polite, Chief Zhang."

One of them responded.

"It's noon now, let's eat first and chat while we eat."

After a few people sat down, they asked the kitchen staff to serve the food.

"Everyone, this is Liu Minghui. He will take over my position after the new year. This time I am mainly here to introduce you to each other."

Zhang Zhiqiang patted Liu Minghui who was sitting next to him and said.

"Minghui, these are Secretary Ma from the Red Star Commune, Secretary Liu from the Haidian Commune, Secretary Li from the Chaoyang Commune, and Secretary Cui from the Fengtai Commune.

Zhang Zhiqiang introduced them to everyone one by one.

After listening to this, Liu Minghui stood up, raised his glass and said, "Hello, secretaries. Thank you for your support for our steel mill."

"I'll toast to you all with this glass of wine."

After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.

"You can drink a lot, you are indeed a hero in your youth."

"Don't worry, our commune and the steel mill will maintain a good relationship in the future."

Several secretaries spoke up.

We are all smart people. We don't know where Liu Minghui comes from, but we will still say some polite words.

"Chief Zhang, I'd also like to congratulate you on your promotion."

Secretary Ma and Zhang Zhiqiang of the Red Star Commune said.

"No matter where you are, it shows the trust that my leaders have in me."

"I can relax a bit after the New Year. The materials that are included in the plan are much easier to handle than those that are not included in the plan."

"If it weren't for your support over the past few years, I wouldn't be able to hold this position."

Zhang Zhiqiang raised his glass and drank with a few people and said.

Liu Minghui did not interrupt. The main reason was that these people came here just to see Zhang Zhiqiang's face. Liu Minghui's main purpose today was to make himself familiar to them.

The meal lasted almost two hours. I have to say that people of this generation can really drink a lot. Liu Minghui then went to get three more bottles of wine, and the six of them drank five kilograms of liquor.

In the end, Liu Minghui could only rely on space cheating to avoid falling here.

In the afternoon, Liu Minghui and Zhang Zhiqiang sent off several commune secretaries before returning to the purchasing department.

In the purchasing department's office, two people were drinking tea with a teacup each. They had drunk a lot of wine at noon and were drinking tea to sober up.

"Minghui, I have introduced this person to you. It depends on you whether you can grasp the opportunity."

Zhang Zhiqiang said while drinking tea.

"Well, I know."

Liu Minghui nodded, although he didn't care whether or not there was material help from these communes, as he had plenty of supplies in his own space anyway.

It's just that it's hard to bring out because there's no source.

After leaving the office, I saw many colleagues cleaning.

"Why are you cleaning today?"

Liu Minghui grabbed Tong Xiao and asked.

The steel mill will be closed the day after tomorrow, so logically we can just start working on it tomorrow.

"Everyone seems to have nothing to do today, so I'll organize everyone to do a general cleaning. Other departments are doing the same thing anyway."

"Okay then, I'll help too."

Liu Minghui picked up the rag and started to help.

After everyone's hard work for an entire afternoon, we finally managed to get everything cleaned up before getting off work. We just need to come over and take a look tomorrow morning.

"We workers have power..." Liu Minghui left the steel mill singing the song "After get off work". The snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

Along the way, you can see many sanitation workers sweeping snow, and many children running around playing snowball fights. The road is a bit muddy after the snow, and many children are covered in mud after falling.

Liu Minghui returned to the courtyard after walking for more than ten minutes.

After entering the door, I saw many children setting off small firecrackers in the yard. Banggeng from the Jia family was among them. Because Jia Zhang gave Banggeng two cents, Banggeng bought a lot of firecrackers. Many children in the yard who didn't have their own firecrackers just surrounded Banggeng.

"Great! Why don't we go and blow up the wild dogs?"

One of the kids suggested.

"Yes, yes, there are always a few stray dogs running around in the alley outside. I get scared every time they pass by."

When Banggeng heard that the game of frying wild dogs had never been played before, he quickly pulled the man to go find it.

Liu Minghui could only shake his head when he saw this. If you were bitten by a dog, you would know the pain.

Liu Minghui ignored these children and went back to his home.

After arriving home, he quickly lit the coal stove. It was very cold outside, which made Liu Minghui a little overwhelmed.

Although Liu Minghui's body allowed the space to be strengthened, his fear of cold was ingrained in his bones.

"what…"

After a while, a scream suddenly came from outside the courtyard. Liu Minghui's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was really bitten by a dog? Could it be that he had the potential to be a crow's mouth?

Thinking of this, Liu Minghui put down his things and planned to go out and take a look.

Don't get me wrong, Liu Minghui doesn't feel bad for the jokes, he's just too bored and wants to go watch the fun.
