The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Then I'll be frank. I'm going to get married. The place I live in is too small, so I came to you to think of a solution."

Liu Minghui was not vague and directly stated his problem.

"Are you getting married soon?"

"Yes, I think we'll get the certificate in a few days."

Li Huaide was also very happy after hearing this.

"This is a small problem. I will take you to the Housing Management Department later and ask them to allocate you another room. It is just right that you can get two rooms at your current level."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Liu Minghui expressed his gratitude.

"But if you have time, bring your partner to my house."

"Okay, I'll ask you to be my wedding witness in a few days."

What he meant was that he was planning to hold a wedding banquet. It could only be said that plans could not keep up with changes. Now he was a deputy section chief after all, and he had to invite colleagues and leaders from the steel rolling mill with whom he had a good relationship to attend the wedding.

"That's no problem. Let's go to the Housing Management Department first."

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he stood up and took Liu Minghui to the Housing Management Department.

The two men came to the housing management department of the steel mill, which was responsible for the housing allocation of all the workers in the steel mill. The section chief was Dou Jianbin. When he saw Li Huaide coming in, he hurried over to greet him.

"How come Director Li has time to come to our place today?"

Li Huaide waved his hand, then pointed at Liu Minghui and said, "The main thing we are doing here today is to arrange a house for him."

"It's Section Chief Liu. Please come in and sit down and talk."

How could Dou Jianbin not know Liu Minghui? You know, Liu Minghui is the most searched person in the steel mill these days.

Many people were surprised that Liu Minghui became a deputy section chief at the young age of just 20.

However, after seeing Li Huaide, Dou Jianbin realized that it was no wonder that he was so powerful, because it turned out that Li Huaide was standing behind him.

After several people entered the office and sat down, Dou Jianbin asked someone to bring two notebooks.

Dou Jianbin took it and opened it to check.

"Chief Liu, you used to live in the east wing of No. 95 courtyard house. Now, the two houses next to you, one large and one small, are still unoccupied."

"If you think it's okay, these two houses will be given to you."

After Dou Jianbin finished speaking, he wanted to see if the two had any problems.

Li Huaide was calm and composed. He had no idea what Liu Minghui thought about this matter, so he decided not to intervene.

Liu Minghui looked at Dou Jianbin and asked, "Chief Dou, I already have one room, can I get two more?"

Dou Jianbin smiled slightly.

"That's definitely impossible, but this small room is just an ear room, and the east wing isn't very big to begin with."

"This wing room will be given to you as compensation, Chief Liu. I believe the leaders will not disagree."

After Dou Jianbin finished speaking, he looked at Li Huaide on the side, and only felt relieved when he saw that Li Huaide had no objection.

"That's all, thank you, Chief Dou."

What else could Liu Minghui say? How could he refuse such a good thing?

Of course, I can only thank them. This was a decision Dou Jianbin made for Li Huaide's sake.

Then Section Chief Dou wrote a note, took out a key and gave it to Liu Minghui. This note was for registration at the street office, so that the street office could not arrange for anyone to move in in the future.

"I'm sorry to bother you with this matter today, Chief Dou. When I get married in a few days, Chief Dou, please come over and have a few drinks with me."

Liu Minghui was still talking to Dou Jianbin before leaving.

"Okay, okay. I will definitely come over when Section Chief Liu gets married."

Dou Jianbin also said with a smile that he had a conversation with Liu Minghui today, which gave him the opportunity to change his position, knowing that he had been in this position for several years.

Seeing Liu Minghui and Li Huaide coming today, Dou Jianbin was thinking about choosing a side between Li Huaide and Director Yang.

After the two of them left the Housing Management Department and returned to Li Huaide's office, Li Huaide slowly said, "You have already done this, why are you still here?"

This is a way to chase people away. Li Huaide is afraid that Liu Minghui will take away all his good things.

"Uncle Li, you are being too polite. I came here to have a couple of cups of tea before leaving."

Liu Minghui sat leisurely on the sofa. He had basically nothing to do in the factory all day, so he might as well come to Li Huaide's place to drink tea and smoke. It happened that Li Huaide didn't have much other things, but he had a lot of good cigarettes and tea.

"Hey, you better leave some for me."

Seeing Liu Minghui take out his treasured tea and grab a handful, Li Huaide felt distressed. You know, this was the tea he brought back from his father-in-law. He usually didn't want to drink it himself and usually used it to entertain guests.

After Li Huaide sat down, Liu Minghui saw that Li Huaide was frowning.

"Uncle Li, what's wrong with you?"

"I was just thinking about the leader's inspection."

Li Huaide said unhappily that he had just been interrupted by Liu Minghui, and only now he remembered that a leader would go to the steel rolling mill tomorrow to inspect the workers' work and living conditions.

"Come on, it's not like we haven't done this before."

Liu Minghui said indifferently that this situation would happen every one or two months.

“What do you know? This time, it’s not easy for the leader to come. If the reception is not good, it won’t work.”

As Li Huaide was speaking, he suddenly realized that Liu Minghui in front of him seemed to be able to solve this problem.

Liu Minghui felt frightened by the look on his face.

"I remember you said you can drink a lot, right?"

Although it was a question, Li Huaide's tone was very affirmative.

Liu Minghui was a little confused by the question. Although he could not drink much, he had his own space. Whenever he couldn't drink anymore, he could just pour it into the space.

This is just rounding off to mean that I can drink a lot.

Thinking about it, he answered without hesitation: "Uncle Li, let me tell you this, two or three pounds is not a problem."

"Really?"

Li Huaide was a little surprised. He had heard this from Zhang Zhiqiang. Zhang Zhiqiang said that Liu Minghui could drink a pound of wine without any problem, but he didn't expect that he could drink so much.

Liu Minghui nodded to indicate that he did not lie.

"That's you. Don't run around tomorrow at noon. Come over and accompany the leader and have fun."

Li Huaide directly arranged tomorrow's tasks for Liu Minghui.

"Ah, this, this..."

"What? Let me tell you, the leader coming tomorrow can't enjoy himself without wine, so you have to keep him happy no matter what."

Liu Minghui didn't expect that Li Huaide would actually want him to go and drink with him.

If I had known this, I wouldn’t have said that I can drink a lot.

"I see." Liu Minghui answered a little disappointedly.

"Don't be unhappy. You should know that not everyone has this opportunity."

"Others want it but they don't have it yet."
