Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

When Zhao Shanhe took the form and asked Li Huaide to sign it, he saw that the usually calm Director Li was smiling brightly.

"Zhao Shanhe, you really give our logistics director face. I just told you to get some meat for the factory, and you turned around and got two wild boars to the factory. But this is not enough. I need you to get more meat. To tell you the truth, the old secretary is going to retire. The higher-ups mean to let Yang Limin, the factory director and secretary, take charge. I also want to take this opportunity to move up. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on your purchasing department."

Zhao Shanhe thought to himself, "You are making things difficult for me. Two wild boars are not enough? What else do you want, a bicycle?"

Thinking of this, his expression changed instantly and he said bitterly.

"Director, I had to beg you to give me these two wild boars. Life in the countryside is tough right now. It's really hard to get meat."

Li Huaide, who was in charge of logistics, certainly knew what life was like in the countryside now, but the position of deputy factory director was filled individually and it was very rare to have a vacancy. If he could not make progress this time, he might have to wait for several more years.

"Shanhe, I know it's difficult to go to the countryside to purchase goods, but if there are difficulties, we must find ways to overcome them.

Look at the people in your purchasing team. Except for you and Comrade Chen Lijuan, they are all here to pass the time.

I have no say over Chen Lijuan because she has a military background.

So I can only ask you for help. I'll give you a promise here. As long as you can help me fill the meat shortage in the steel mill, I will let you be a deputy section chief when I become the deputy director. "

Zhao Shanhe knew what was said, so he just listened. You have to know that Zhao Shanhe was only administrative level 27, and the lowest level of deputy section chief was administrative level 18. Jumping ten levels in one go? Do you think this novel is called "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me"?

But then he thought again, Li Huaide must have his own way of saying this, things in officialdom are all about compromise, and he has a trump card that others don't have, his father-in-law is in charge of the steel mill.

Zhao Shanhe knew that he absolutely could not retreat at this time, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain. Since his change of mindset, he has been looking for opportunities to climb up, and this opportunity that is within his reach must not be missed.

"Director, after you told me yesterday that the factory was short of meat, I went to look for Qiao Laoliu. He told me that he had established connections with people in Tianjin and Tongliao and could get a batch of meat to Sijiucheng every month. However, the price was very high and the quantity was not stable, so I didn't ask in detail how much there was.

If the factory is really short of meat, I can ask Brother Liu for you. Since it is shipped in from far away, it should be enough for our factory, right? Otherwise, it won't be enough to cover the shipping cost.

I just don’t know how much shortage our factory still has. Please give me a clear amount.”

Li Huaide gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. He finally let the little guy see the carrot. Zhao Shanhe was a very capable kid with extensive connections, but he didn't know who he learned this attitude of not releasing the eagle until he saw the rabbit.

"Our steel mill is a large factory with 1000 people. If there is not enough meat, the effect will not be seen at all. Can you ask Qiao Laoliu to get kilograms every month? Hare, pheasant, goat, roe deer, even snake, I won't ask how he gets it, I only look at the results."

Zhao Shanhe estimated the three kinds of animals in the small world, hares, pheasants and native chickens. Calculated at three kilograms per chicken, he would need to provide about 330 chickens to the factory each month, which was not too many. But to be on the safe side, he still had to go to Fangcun and Qinjiatun. He had to get some big ones like roe deer and goats so that he could be completely sure.

"Okay, Director Li, I'll go ask Brother Six right away. Even if he doesn't have enough meat, I'll go to the villages in the north of the city. These are the only villages where we can hunt prey."

The two chatted for a while, and finally Zhao Shanhe asked Li Huaide for a few first-class cigarette and alcohol tickets. After all, he had to bring some good things when he went to the countryside to build relationships in the villages.

Signing and collecting money, it was still the same process. Zhao Shanhe thought there was nothing else to do and was about to leave when he was stopped by Yao Decai who had just finished his meal.

"Shanhe, I just happened to have something to ask you, so please wait a while before leaving."

"Uncle Yao, what's the matter?"

Zhao Shanhe thought Yao Decai was going to tell him about the wild boar, but he didn't expect that he was mistaken this time.

"Your school teacher called the steel mill to inform you that you will have a final exam at the end of this month and asked you to return to school on time to take it. You must not forget it."

If this matter had not been mentioned, Zhao Shanhe would have forgotten it long ago. He had been busy with the selection competition, dating, and remembering to deliver fish to Qiao Laoliu recently. He was so busy all day that he had no time to think about this.

Now that Yao Decai had said that, he remembered that his father had passed away for more than half a year, and he was about to graduate from high school. Once he got his high school diploma, he would be considered a talent. If Li Huaide really became the deputy factory director, it would be much easier for him to be promoted than before.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Yao Decai.

"Thank you, Uncle Yao. I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about it. Don't worry, I've been studying on my own after work. I can guarantee that I'll get first place in this kind of exam, but I'm sure I'll be in the top ten."

Yao Decai was also very moved. This kid was growing so fast that he was a little unrecognizable. From being timid when he first entered the factory to being able to stand on his own feet now, it only took a few months?

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on, study hard and get good grades. This is what your father wanted to see the most."

In the afternoon, Zhao Shanhe returned to the courtyard and took out the textbooks for the three years of high school to have a look. He had the confidence to tell Yao Decai that he could be in the top ten in the exam. White horsetooth corn can enhance all qualities of the body, including the five senses and memory. He dare not say that he has a photographic memory now, but at least he can read ten lines at a glance and have a strong memory.

I read until 11 o'clock in the evening, and even had dinner in my little world. Fortunately, there is a reward for my efforts, and I finally regained the knowledge I learned.

After putting the books away, Zhao Shanhe changed into his old clothes again, went out of the house and looked around to see if there was anyone, then he climbed over the wall and left the courtyard. He took out his bicycle from the small world and rode all the way to the Imperial College. He could see the vacant lot in the south at a glance.

He rode his bike carefully around the open space, and only after making sure that no one was around did he dare to take the things out of the small world. More than ten tons of supplies suddenly filled up half of the open space. Fortunately, it was night. If someone saw it during the day, it would probably be another unsolved mystery.

As soon as 12 o'clock arrived, flashlights in the distance began to flicker, and Zhao Shanhe also responded to the secret signal with a flashlight. This was also discussed in advance. There were too many things and no one dared to be careless.

A few people slowly walked over in the darkness. They were the ones who went with him to get samples yesterday. It seemed that Mr. Deng Sanye would not show up. This was normal. How could someone who could control such a large black market stall in the old city not be careful and vigilant?

The one who led the way was a tall and thin man. He was the one who led the way and knocked on the door yesterday. He clasped his fists and said to Zhao Shanhe.

"Brother Zhao, Third Master couldn't come because of something urgent, so he asked me to come over and trade with you."

Zhao Shanhe didn't care about it. As long as the money was in place, it would not matter who came. He shone the flashlight on the open space behind him.

"Brother, you are here on time. Please inspect the goods first. If there are any problems, we can discuss it later."
