Siheyuan: I just want to live

Chapter 167 Hou Debang Leaves the Steel Mill

The next day, Chen Feng sent Jin Ling to work. He also took the fishing rod and planned to buy fishing lines and fish hooks after sending Jin Ling to work.

When they arrived at the scrap yard, Chen Feng helped Jin Ling to light the furnace, clear out the slag and dump it out, and then he cleaned the message room. Then he prepared to pick up his fishing rod and leave with his bicycle.

While Chen Feng was waiting for his bicycle to be pushed out of the scrap station, Hou Debang arrived at the scrap station on his bicycle.

When Hou Debang saw Chen Feng pushing a bicycle with a fishing rod in his hand, he immediately asked, "Where are you going, brother Chen? Are you going fishing?"

Chen Feng also stopped when he saw Hou Debang, and then said to Hou Debang, "Brother Hou, why are you here to see me so early? Is it something important?"

"Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

As he spoke, Chen Feng turned the bicycle around and pushed it back to its original place, with the fishing rod standing upright next to the bicycle.

Hou Debang also followed Chen Feng into the scrap yard and parked his bicycle next to Chen Feng's bicycle.

After Chen Feng led Hou Debang into the communication room, he said to Jin Ling, "Jin Ling, this is Brother Hou Debang. He also came to our wedding last time. Do you still remember him?"

So many people came on the wedding day. How could Jin Ling remember all of them except Director Wang, a few elderly people, and Li Guotao?

But when Chen Feng said it was Hou Debang, Jin Ling suddenly remembered. After all, the Hou brothers on the gift list each gave fifty yuan, so how could Jin Ling not remember this name?

Seeing Chen Feng come in and reintroduce himself to her, Jin Ling said cleverly, "Hubby, how could I not remember!"

Then he turned to Hou Debang and said, "Hello, Brother Hou! You came to see our Chen Feng so early, there must be something important! Then I won't disturb you here! I'll go out first!"

After that, Jin Ling said to Chen Feng, "Hubby! I'm going out first! You talk to Brother Hou!"

After nodding to Chen Feng and Hou Debang, Jin Ling left the message room and walked towards the shed south of the scrap yard.

After Jin Ling left, Hou Debang looked at the direction where Jin Ling left and said to Chen Feng, "Brother Chen! You are so lucky to marry such a good wife!"

Hou Debang also heard from the conversation between Chen Feng and Jin Ling that Jin Ling had no impression of him at all. But it was normal that she had no impression of him, after all, he and Jin Ling had only met twice, including today.

But Jin Ling did not say she had no impression like some people did, but answered that she had an impression. Regardless of whether Jin Ling had an impression of me or not, what she said did make me feel comfortable.

Chen Feng smiled slightly when he heard what Hou Debang said, and then said, "Okay, Brother Hou, let's not talk about this. Brother Hou, is there something important that made you come to see me so early in the morning?"

While Chen Feng was speaking, he did not stop moving. He moved a bench from the corner of the message room and placed it next to Hou Debang.

Seeing this, Hou Debang didn't hesitate and simply pulled a bench and sat down. When Chen Feng saw Hou Debang sitting down, he also sat down on the chair.

After everything was done, Hou Debang said, "Brother Chen! I have been transferred from the steel mill. I am now the head of the third purchasing section of the purchasing department of the logistics department of Chengxi Steel Plant. My rank has not changed, and I am still at the deputy director level."

When Chen Feng heard Hou Debang say that he was transferred, he was a little confused, so he asked, "Brother Hou, weren't you doing well in the steel mill? Why were you transferred to the steel mill?"

Chen Feng was really confused about this. He provided Hou Debang with so many supplies every month. Shouldn't the steel rolling mill let go of a deputy-division-level section chief who could obtain a large amount of supplies?

But Chen Feng had no idea that it was because Hou Debang could get a large amount of rabbit meat every month, and occasionally other supplies.

So some people in the steel rolling mill felt that Hou Debang's existence had threatened his position, so they got rid of Hou Debang.

Who is this person? Is there any need to ask? It is Director Li, who is in charge of logistics.

Hou Debang sighed slightly when he heard Chen Feng's question. Then he said to Chen Feng, "Hey! Brother Chen! Let's not talk about this matter! I came here this time just to ask you to help me!"

After hearing what Hou Debang said, Chen Feng patted his chest and assured, "Brother, we have a relationship so we can't ask for anything! As long as you give the order, I will do whatever I can for you!"

When Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's words, he slapped his thigh happily and said, "With your words, brother Chen, I feel relieved!"

At this time, Chen Feng also said generously, "Brother, tell me! What do you want me to do for you?"

Of course, if Chen Feng felt that what Hou Debang said was too difficult to do, Chen Feng could refuse. Didn't Chen Feng say that if it can be done, it will definitely be done. Since it can't be done, then it must be impossible!

Seeing Chen Feng's generosity, Hou Debang no longer hid his feelings and said, "Brother! Didn't I just get transferred to the steel plant?"

"It's almost the New Year now, and I thought I'd ask you to buy some supplies during the New Year. It would be difficult to give benefits to the workers at the steel plant until the end of the year."

When Chen Feng heard that Hou Debang wanted supplies, he immediately felt relieved. It was just supplies, Chen Feng thought Hou Debang wanted him to do something.

Chen Feng didn't even think about what Hou Debang wanted to ask him for. Apart from supplies, what else could Chen Feng do to help Hou Debang?

Seeing this, Chen Feng immediately said, "Brother Hou, don't worry about the supplies! I will definitely get it done for you!"

Hou Debang was relieved when he heard Chen Feng's words. After all, this was the first time he had the opportunity to show his face since he arrived at the steel plant.

As long as Chen Feng agrees to sell his supplies, everything else will be easy.

Just when Hou Debang was about to ask Chen Feng what he could do this time, he heard Chen Feng's voice again.

"Brother Hou, even if you leave the steel mill now, do I still need to continue delivering supplies to them?"

When Hou Debang heard Chen Feng's next words, he was about to ask a question but stopped himself in an instant.

Hou Debang didn't know why Chen Feng asked this, but he knew that if he didn't answer Chen Feng's question well, there would definitely be a rift between him and Chen Feng, and this might even be the fuse for a falling out between the two in the future.

Although Hou Debang wanted to say, "I'm gone now, why are you still sending supplies to the steel mill?" It's no wonder that Hou Debang had such a big grudge against the steel mill.

According to Director Li's arrangement, Hou Debang would be transferred to the steel mill labor union as a vice chairman, and then he would gradually take over the purchasing channels in Hou Debang's hands.

Unexpectedly, Hou Debang heard the news and quit his job. He followed the path of his late father and transferred himself, his brother and a few close confidants to the steel plant.

Now Hou Debang definitely doesn't want Chen Feng to continue sending supplies to the steel mill. Besides, the steel mill where he is now is bigger, and he can handle the supplies Chen Feng has, so why should he send them to the steel mill?

So Hou Debang said with a smile, "Brother Chen! The supplies are yours! You can sell them to anyone you want! Why are you asking me about this? I can't make the decision for you, right?"

Hou Debang said to Chen Feng in a low voice, "But, brother Chen! You know, I'm working in a steel mill now. The steel mill is much bigger than the rolling mill. You must leave me more supplies! Otherwise, I'll be miserable in the steel mill in the future!"

In fact, Chen Feng just asked casually. It was not what Hou Debang thought, nor did he intend to test Hou Debang.

However, Chen Feng also understood what Hou Debang said. To sum it up, don't give it to the steel mill. Your brother can take all the supplies.

Chen Feng smiled slightly in his heart. It seemed that the steel rolling mill had offended Hou Debang badly!

That must be a lot! The more you use favors, the thinner they become. With what Director Li did, almost all of the connections left by Hou Debang's father were used up by Hou Debang all at once. How could Hou Debang not hate him now?

Seeing this, Chen Feng did not dwell on this question any more, but continued to ask, "Brother Hou, you have already left the steel mill. Should I return the house outside the city to the steel mill?"

Hou Debang saw Chen Feng asking this question, so he quickly said, "No need to return it, brother. The house has been transferred to your name. It is your house. You don't have to return it to the steel mill."

Chen Feng was relieved when he heard Hou Debang's words. Fortunately, he didn't have to pay it back. If he did, Chen Feng would have to find another place to trade with Hou Debang.

Seeing that Chen Feng had no problem, Hou Debang asked, "Brother Chen, please give me a tip. How much supplies can you help me raise at the end of the year?"

Seeing Hou Debang asking this, Chen Feng said, "Well! The number of rabbits remains the same. That's why I will get you more than 2,000 fish weighing more than 8 kilograms."

"As for wild boars, I can give you twenty. There are also a few domestic pigs that have no provenance, which is a bit troublesome. Do you want them, Brother Hou?"

Hou Debang listened to Chen Feng's words, and the more he listened, the happier he felt. This was his first fire in the steel plant! The more supplies Chen Feng prepared for him, the happier he was. The more fire he started, the more prosperous it became.

When Chen Feng mentioned that there were still a few domestic pigs, Hou Debang quickly said, "Brother Chen, you must have remembered it wrongly. How did you get domestic pigs? They must be wild boars!"

"Those are just wild boars that look more like domestic pigs. You must have never raised pigs before, so you can't tell the difference between domestic pigs and wild boars!"

Chen Feng was slightly stunned when he heard what Hou Debang said, and then he immediately said, "Brother Hou is right, they are all wild boars! I was wrong!"

Then Chen Feng continued, "Then we will be at a house outside the city on the 23rd. I have prepared everything and am waiting for you, Brother Hou!"

Hou Debang said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Chen. We'll meet at the house outside the city on the evening of the 23rd!"

The two men reached a deal.
