Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

Steel rolling mill.

Ever since Deputy Director Li arranged for people to bring the first truckload of supplies back to the factory, the comrades in the Purchasing Department have been busy moving these supplies.

Finally, after they unloaded the first truckload of supplies, they could take a break, so several comrades from the purchasing department went to the toilet.

However, they did not realize that they had inadvertently revealed an important piece of news in the toilet: a lot of supplies had been delivered to the factory! This news quickly spread throughout the steel mill.

Some people were skeptical, but more people were positive. They all put down their work and rushed to the procurement department to personally verify whether the news was true.

But as they saw truck after truck loaded with supplies drive into the steel mill, their initial excitement gradually turned into numbness.

In this state, they even forgot that they had skipped work and took the initiative to help their colleagues in the purchasing department move the supplies.

Those who had nothing to do did not return to their workstations to continue working, but sat quietly there, staring blankly at everything in front of them.

The originally bustling workshop became unusually quiet, as if time had stopped.

The factory leaders were confused after not hearing any noise outside for most of the day. They walked out of the office to check what was going on outside. After seeing the empty workshop, the leaders were completely confused.

When Director Yang saw this, his face suddenly darkened, his brows knitted tightly, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and confusion. He couldn't help but yelled, "Where are the workers? Who can tell me where the workers have gone?"

His voice was filled with obvious anger, and the air around him seemed to freeze. The other leaders beside him felt his anger and were terrified. They lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eye. They were also very confused, but faced with Director Yang's questioning, they hesitated and could not speak for a while.

At this moment, a team leader from a workshop stumbled in. He said breathlessly, "Director, the workers have all gone to the purchasing department." After saying this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Huh? What? This is just nonsense!" Director Yang's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief. His face flushed red and veins popped out on his forehead. "The country pays them wages every month, but they don't think about giving back to the country, but openly skip work during working hours. This is absurd!" His tone became more and more severe, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.

When the team leader heard what Director Yang said, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly. He waved his hands and stammered, "No, Director, please listen to my explanation..."

"Okay... I'd like to see how you explain it. If you can't explain it clearly, you'd better resign as the team leader. If you can't even supervise the workers, what do I need you for?" Director Yang laughed in anger.

"Um... Director, the workers have all gone to move supplies..." The team leader looked at the angry Director Yang in front of him, feeling frightened, and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Supplies? What supplies? Where are the people from the purchasing department? Shouldn't they be responsible for moving the supplies? Why do so many workers have to do it?" Director Yang's anger grew stronger and he questioned the team leader loudly.

“That…” The team leader was so frightened that he didn’t dare to breathe, with cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"Wait...supplies, where do the supplies come from? Why are there suddenly so many supplies that need to be moved?" Director Yang finally realized the problem. He frowned tightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Deputy Director Li did the purchasing, and there are a lot of people in the purchasing department." The team leader answered truthfully.

Before he finished speaking, before anyone could react, a shadow ran away at an astonishing speed.

The other leaders stared at the disappearing figure in amazement, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses. They shouted one after another: "Director! Wait for us!" However, Director Yang had already disappeared without a trace.

Soon, Director Yang came to the door of the purchasing department jogging, breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead.

At this time, the purchasing department was crowded and very lively, but when someone saw Director Yang coming, he suddenly shouted, "The Director is here!"

Hearing this, the originally crowded crowd instantly quieted down and consciously made way for a passage. Director Yang saw this, quickly tidied his clothes and hairstyle, then nodded with satisfaction and walked into the crowd.

When Director Yang walked in, the first thing he saw was the piles of supplies. The amount of these supplies was so large that it looked like a small mountain, which was jaw-dropping. Director Yang was stunned by the scene before him. He stared at the supplies with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

The other leaders who followed closely had the same reaction as Director Yang after seeing so many supplies. They were also shocked by the scene before them and could not recover from the huge surprise for a while.

Just as everyone was surprised, a loud shout was suddenly heard: "The supplies are coming again, get out of the way!" As soon as the voice fell, a truck loaded with supplies slowly drove into the purchasing department.

Upon hearing the sound, Director Yang and other leaders came to their senses immediately. They instinctively stepped aside and watched the truck drive straight into the yard and finally stop steadily beside them.

After seeing Deputy Director Li getting off the car, Director Yang and other leaders cast envious glances. They knew very well that purchasing such a large amount of materials was a great achievement. The higher-ups would definitely know about this, and when it comes to future promotions, Deputy Director Li would definitely be the first person to be considered.

Although he was envious, Director Yang still sincerely thanked Deputy Director Li: "Old Li, I am really grateful that you have purchased so many supplies for the factory!"

Deputy Director Li smiled and replied modestly, "Director Yang, you are too kind. I am also a member of the factory. Seeing that the workers in the factory do not have enough food, I am also anxious, so there is no need to thank me."

Hearing this, the workers around couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts. Tears of gratitude flashed in their eyes, and they said in unison: "Thank you, Deputy Director Li!"

Deputy Director Li's vanity was greatly satisfied when he saw this. He pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said, "Comrades, work harder and unload the materials as soon as possible. We will have a good meal at noon."
