The Great Era of Siheyuan

Having taken on this job at the steel mill, Li Wenqiang naturally had to put in some effort, and a group of people came to the steel mill in a mighty manner.

"What happened? Why are all the people brought back?"

Wang Jianjun from the security room became nervous when he saw such a large group of people coming.

"It's okay, don't be nervous. I just got a big job at the steel mill. I'm bringing people here to do the construction today. All of you come in!"

Li Wenqiang called out and everyone came in one after another.

"Big job? What big job is there in our factory? Why don't I know about it?"

Wang Jianjun was a little confused. Why did the steel rolling mill carry out construction out of the blue? He had no idea about it.

"I guess I haven't had time to notify you yet! I just made an appointment with Director Li. You're here by chance, so I just wanted to find you. Go find me 20 people now. They need to be strong and able to work. They'll get two dollars a day and one meal. The work period ends here. If you perform well, you'll have a chance to become a regular employee. What do you think? Do you want to take this job?"

Li Wenqiang looked at him and asked, saying that it was to help, but in fact it was just a favor to him. The salary of two yuan a day included a meal. If he shouted in the street, many people would be willing to do him a favor!

"Yes, of course! Come, where are you going? I'll lead the way for you!"

Wang Jianjun was all smiles. Twenty people, two dollars a day. I guess there are many people in the factory willing to take leave to do this job.

"Let's draw the lines today and reserve the places to bury the pipes and water pipes. The ground doesn't need to be hardened first. I have already ordered a new batch of materials. You go and coordinate the materials such as bricks, tiles, cement and wood. You must get them here within the next two days. The day after tomorrow, you go to this place to get the things. Tell me your name to pick up the goods. Also, you must find someone from the water company to come and bury the water pipes in advance. Find Section Chief Wang or Factory Director Li and ask them to go. You must manage these workers well and don't let them mess around!"

Li Wenqiang led his men to draw the lines and made arrangements for every detail before leaving. As for how the work was done, he was not worried at all. As long as they built the main building, he would just find a few more people to do the rest, and it would be completed in one day at most.

"Okay, boss! I will keep an eye on them and will never let them do anything wrong!"

Zhang Hao was deeply touched that Li Wenqiang could entrust such an important project to him. He couldn't help but emphasize his tone when speaking to express his determination.

"Well, you must strictly follow the requirements of the drawings. If there are any problems, correct them. Don't make any mistakes. Okay, you go ahead. I'll be leaving in a moment."

Li Wenqiang drove him away while speaking.

Just as I was about to leave, a voice came from behind me.

"You are Comrade Li Wenqiang, right? I think you should know me. My name is Yang Yanjun, and I am the director of the steel rolling mill. I think we have met several times upstairs before."

Behind him, a thin middle-aged man with soft eyes was looking at him with a smile.

Li Wenqiang had already noticed him and thought he was just passing by, but he didn't expect that he came to find him. This made him feel a little surprised and he didn't know what he wanted to see him about.

"Yes, I have seen you several times before when I came out of Deputy Director Li's office. I didn't expect Director Yang to still remember me. I am so ashamed!"

Li Wenqiang said politely. When he didn't know what he was here for, Li Wenqiang didn't plan to talk to him any more.

"Haha, anyone can forget it, but you and I must remember it. After all, we can provide one or two thousand kilograms of vegetables to our steel mill every day, so I can't forget it!"

Director Yang was like an acquaintance chatting with family, with a smile on his face, giving people a very friendly feeling.

However, Li Wenqiang knew very well that there were some stupid people in this mixed system, but Yang Yanjun was definitely not one of them.

Today he came to see me on purpose, and it was very intriguing what he was thinking.

"Director Yang, you are joking. You are a noble man with many things to do. I am honored to have you remember me."

Li Wenqiang responded to all changes with the same attitude. If he didn't say anything, he wouldn't respond and just wait and see what he was going to say to him.

Looking at the cunning Li Wenqiang, Yang Yanjun suddenly smiled.

"Don't be so nervous. I have no ill intentions. I know everything about what happened between you and Deputy Director Li. I just wanted to come over and ask you if you can get more food. The disaster has become more serious recently, and the higher-ups have asked the lower-level departments to find food on their own to alleviate the food shortage.

Our steel mill is a key unit of national construction, and with your help, the food shortage is not obvious for the time being, but we still have many brother units that have not yet had food. I would like to ask if you have the spare energy to help them?"

Director Yang's words seem to make sense, but they don't stand up to scrutiny. If it were someone else, they might be persuaded by just a few words.

Li Wenqiang refused without a second thought. How could he help other factories with food? Being in the Food Department was a death sentence!

"I'm sorry, Director Yang, I don't have much food here, so I can't help you!"

Li Wenqiang said, "What a pity."

Director Yang smiled as if it didn't matter.

"It's okay. If you find more food in the future, you are always welcome to come to me."

After Director Yang finished speaking, he smiled and left.

Li Wenqiang looked at his departing back, turned around and returned to Li Huaide's office.

"Why are you here again? Is there anything else?"

In the office, Li Huaide looked at Li Wenqiang with some surprise and asked.

"Old Li, guess who I just met!"

Li Wenqiang walked into Li Huaide's office and asked with a smile.

"Who?"

Li Huaide's eyebrows twitched. Li Wenqiang said this, obviously he met someone he didn't want to meet.

"Yang Yanjun!"

"Yang Yanjun?"

Li Huaide asked in disbelief.

"Yes, he came to see me just now!"

Li Wenqiang said solemnly.

Currently, the steel rolling mill is his largest customer. It is rare to find a customer as trustworthy as Li Huaide. He does not want to be brought down by this man named Yang.

"What did he tell you?"

Li Huaide thought for a moment and looked at him and said.

"He didn't say much, but he tried to test me and asked me to send him supplies to support other factories. Hahahaha!"

Li Wenqiang started laughing as he spoke.

After hearing this, Li Huaide also laughed.

"It seems that our Director Yang has some ideas about me!"

"It doesn't matter what he thinks of you. What matters is whether he will have an impact on our affairs!"

Li Wenqiang said lightly.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter! Our transaction will remain the same. With me here, you can do it with confidence! I guarantee that nothing will happen to you at the steel mill!"

Li Huaide said domineeringly.

"Just your words are enough! I'll find you if anything goes wrong. By the way, please tell the cafeteria that my construction team has arrived. There are 40 people and it is expected to be completed within ten days. I have something else to do so I'll leave first. Please keep an eye on this place for me."

"Don't worry, I'll say hello to Wang Dawei later, and you can just go over there."

Li Huaide said confidently.

"I hope so!"

Li Wenqiang left after saying that!
