The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Dong dong."

"Who?"

When Liu Minghui heard someone knocking on the door, he shouted outside in confusion.

"It's me, uncle."

Well, the only one who could introduce himself like this was Liu Haizhong, so Liu Minghui could only open the door and welcome the person in.

"Hiss, it's really cold."

As soon as the door was opened, Liu Minghui felt a gust of cold wind blowing in. He quickly closed the door, then looked at Liu Haizhong and asked, "Uncle, it's so cold. Why are you here instead of staying at home and warming yourself by the fire?"

Liu Minghui asked with amusement while looking at Liu Haizhong, because at this time Liu Haizhong was so frozen that his neck was tucked into his clothes, and it was obvious that he was very cold.

"Nothing. I just wanted to talk to you at noon, but I didn't have the chance, so I had to come over now."

Liu Haizhong leaned over the stove, rubbing his hands to keep warm while answering questions.

Have something to do with him?

Liu Minghui thought about it and realized that he and Liu Haizhong seemed to have not talked for a long time. Since Liu Minghui's official position became higher and higher, Liu Haizhong didn't know whether he felt uncomfortable or not, and was unwilling to appear in front of Liu Minghui.

Besides, Liu Haizhong considers himself a big shot and is not willing to be inferior to others. After all, many people know that Liu Haizhong is crazy about becoming an official.

If someone asked him why he was still a team leader, Liu Haizhong would really get angry.

After Liu Haizhong paused for a while, he came over with a smile and sat down on the chair next to Liu Minghui.

He looked at Liu Minghui with a flattering look and said, "Minghui, I'm here to ask you for help with something."

Liu Haizhong speaks very directly, um, maybe his EQ is a little low.

"I've been the team leader for a long time, and I want to move up a level."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands and stared at Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui was speechless about this and didn't know what to say to Liu Haizhong.

Although he is willing to make progress, he is not very sensible. After all, who would ask for help without having empty hands?

Add to that the tone of voice that it was Liu Minghui's duty to help, and it made people even more upset.

"Ahem." Liu Minghui coughed first, then said after a little hesitation: "Uncle, if you had come before, it would have been fine, but now I'm not at the steel mill anymore. It's no use for you to look for me. You might as well look for Xu Damao. He's at least a deputy section chief."

Liu Minghui thought about it and rejected Liu Haizhong from the direction where he had already left the steel mill.

By the way, he was also asked to go find Xu Damao, but as to whether it would work, that was not clear.

"Hey, that's not right. I heard Damao say that he couldn't have been promoted because of your help."

Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Minghui in disbelief, and then said, "Minghui, you are not looking down on an old man, are you? Let me tell you, my skills in the workshop are top-notch, and I was promoted to the seventh-level blacksmith before, which is not much worse than Yi Zhonghai."

Liu Haizhong started talking on and on, and even reiterated how he had successfully advanced in the work-level assessment last month.

That's right. After a failure, Liu Haizhong worked hard and, with his talent, he was successfully promoted in the year-end work grade assessment. Now he is a seventh-level forger, and one of the rare high-level technical workers in the steel mill.

Liu Minghui got a headache when he heard this. What's wrong with Xu Damao? Why is he so loud-mouthed?

Liu Minghui had no choice but to hint to Liu Haizhong.

"Uncle, Damao has a skill. As long as you understand it, you can be like Damao."

Liu Minghui wanted to tell Liu Haizhong that Xu Damao only became a small section chief because he had spent a lot of money, but he didn't want to be too blunt for fear that Liu Haizhong would talk nonsense, so he gave a vague explanation.

It’s just that Liu Haizhong’s EQ is really low. Even though Liu Minghui was so straightforward, he still didn’t understand.

Liu Haizhong looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if he was thinking about something.

In Liu Minghui's expectant eyes, Liu Haizhong asked, "What is the technique?"

Hearing this, Liu Minghui could only shake his head in disappointment, and looked at Liu Haizhong and said, "Uncle, this is something you have to figure out on your own. As long as you understand, then you understand. I can't say too much."

Afterwards, Liu Haizhong could only leave in disappointment. As he left, he was still thinking about what Liu Minghui had just said, muttering what it was.

Liu Minghui sent Liu Haizhong away and smiled helplessly after closing the door. Fortunately, Liu Haizhong was not very smart, so he was fooled.

Otherwise, if Liu Haizhong figured it out, he would still feel embarrassed.

It's really impossible to take him to find Li Huaide. Although according to the original development, Liu Haizhong will be able to get close to Li Huaide in the future, but the timing is not right. In addition, the situation in the steel rolling mill is much better now, and Li Huaide has not fought with Director Yang, so Liu Haizhong probably has no hope of becoming an official in this life.

I guess I'll have to work as a team leader in the workshop until I retire.

Liu Haizhong walked back to the backyard in a daze, and didn't even realize he had arrived at the door of his house.

"Well, I don't understand, but there are people who do. I might as well just ask Xu Damao."

Liu Haizhong, who was standing at the door of his house, came to his senses, looked towards the Xu family opposite, and said while patting his thigh.

Although Liu Haizhong has a low EQ, he is not stupid. He thought of an idea and walked towards Xu's house.

"Is Damao at home?"

Liu Haizhong knocked on the door of Xu's house. Xu Damao, who was resting at home, saw this and asked with a smile, "Uncle, what's the matter?"

Xu Damao was confused when Liu Haizhong came to his house in the middle of the night. He didn't know what he wanted from him.

"Da Mao, Minghui asked me to come find you."

Liu Haizhong said while holding Liu Minghui's big flag.

Just now Liu Haizhong thought that since Liu Minghui didn't tell him, why not just ask Xu Damao.

So Liu Haizhong came to Xu's house.

"Brother Liu asked you to come. Hurry up and sit down and talk."

Upon hearing that the matter was related to Liu Minghui, Xu Damao hurriedly led Liu Haihui into the house and sat him down.

Li Guihua was at home taking care of her children. When she saw Liu Haizhong coming in, she smiled and greeted him, "Uncle."

"Hey, Xu's wife, I came to see Damao for something."

After Xu Damao took Liu Haizhong to the WI room and sat down, he said to Li Guihua: "Wife, go get a glass of water for the uncle. I have something to talk to the uncle about."

After hearing this, Li Guihua went to the kitchen to get some water. Here, Xu Damao asked Liu Haizhong anxiously, "Uncle, tell me what's going on."

"Ahem, that's it."

Liu Haizhong coughed and told Xu Damao about his desire to improve himself. He also said that Liu Minghui approved of his idea and asked him to come to Xu Damao to ask for details.

"Uncle, this is true. Did Minghui really say that?"

Seeing Xu Damao's suspicious expression, Liu Haizhong said seriously: "Of course, Minghui said you would tell me."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao looked at Liu Haizhong skeptically, but after thinking about it, Xu Damao felt that there should be no problem. After all, no one else knew that he asked Liu Minghui for help, and the same went for Liu Haizhong.
