Siheyuan: The Counterattack of Passerby

Yu Haitang's focus was not on this matter, but on Lin Geng. She blinked and asked Yu Li, "Is the Lin Geng you mentioned so amazing? He's already the deputy chief of the purchasing department of a steel mill before he's 21? Then tell me, is he handsome?"

Yu Li blushed and rolled her eyes at her sister, but when she thought of Lin Geng's handsome face, she couldn't help but smile and said to her sister, "Of course he is handsome. If you don't believe me, you can ask your classmate He Yushui! She lives next door to Lin Geng, and Lin Geng has always treated her like his own sister. They know each other very well!"

When Yu Haitang heard this, she blinked her big eyes, as if thinking about something. After a while, she said, "No, I have to go see what he looks like when I have time!"

Yu's father and mother were extremely satisfied with Lin Geng's conditions, and they also recognized Lin Geng's abilities. In this era, young people like him, relying on their own abilities, were promoted to cadres and became deputy section chiefs within less than two years of working. Among young people, he is really rare, and he is definitely a rare golden son-in-law.

Now that their daughter has been favored by a promising young man like Lin Geng, she will definitely not have to suffer in the future. This makes the old couple look forward to it, so they took the initiative to say to Li: "Since you like that Xiao Lin, you should bring him home when you have time so that we can meet. You are not young anymore. If there is no problem, then hurry up and get the marriage certificate to avoid more trouble!"

After hearing what her parents said, Yu Li's pretty face couldn't help but blush again, and she whispered, "We just met today, we should get to know each other first! How can I be so anxious as you guys?"

Father Yu said cheerfully, "Okay, okay, okay! You guys go ahead and get in touch with him first, but girl, you have to hurry up too. There aren't many young men as promising as Xiao Lin now. Don't let another girl snatch him away from you, or you'll regret it too late!"

Although Yu Li didn't say anything after hearing this, she was determined in her heart to hold on to Lin Geng and get married to him as soon as possible. She said she must not miss such a good man like Lin Geng. Otherwise, she was really afraid that she would never meet such a good man like Lin Geng again in her life.

The next morning, Monday, Lin Geng went to the steel rolling mill to report for work as usual. Although he was now the deputy section chief of Purchasing Section 4, in order to be lazy, Lin Geng made an agreement with Li Huaide and Wu Tieshan in advance that he would just be a figurehead but would not participate in the actual management of Purchasing Section 4. The management work would still be handled by Wu Tieshan. He still reported for work on Mondays as before, and usually had to run around outside to get more supplies for the factory.

This really made Wu Tieshan feel relieved. He was actually a little afraid that Lin Geng was too capable and would steal his position as section chief. After all, the job of section chief of Purchasing Section 4 was still a lucrative job. If the factory leaders asked Lin Geng to replace him, he might not be able to defeat Lin Geng.

Now Lin Geng was promoted to deputy section chief, but he didn't care about any affairs in the section. He was still only responsible for procurement as before, and made it clear that he didn't want to compete with him for the position of section chief. In this way, Wu Tieshan was completely relieved and treated Lin Geng better.

Ever since Lin Geng came to their Purchasing Department 4, his life has become much better. He no longer has the situation of failing to complete the meat purchasing tasks assigned to them by the factory. The purchasing volume of Lin Geng alone is equal to the purchasing volume of a group of other purchasers, and he no longer has to go around begging for help to find ways to purchase unplanned materials for the factory.

As Lin Geng spent more and more time in the purchasing department, his abilities grew stronger. In the beginning, he had to go to the countryside and mountains to hunt every week. Later, as long as he was given a task, he would be able to deliver all kinds of chickens, ducks, fish and meat needed by the factory in just a few days.

Even though the factory is assigning more and more tasks to Purchasing Department 4, as long as Lin Geng is there, there is no need to worry about not completing the tasks.

Wu Tieshan even heard that some factories and mines that had business dealings with the steel rolling mill also privately sought help from Lin Geng to solve the problem of meat, eggs and vegetables needed by the factory. Lin Geng also helped them privately, and now he has a lot of face in these brother factories and mines. Sometimes other purchasing departments need to connect with these brother factories and mines to purchase some unplanned materials they produce, and they also ask Lin Geng to come forward to coordinate.

Lin Geng's network of relationships is now quite wide. Almost all the materials the factory needs can be obtained by finding Lin Geng.

For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, the factory wanted to purchase some towels as welfare for its employees, but the planned supply could not meet the factory's needs. The factory asked the purchasing agent who was responsible for connecting with the cotton spinning mill to smooth the relationship and ask the cotton spinning mill to provide their factory with some unplanned towels. As a result, the purchasing agent who was in charge of connecting with the cotton spinning mill said all the nice things he could, but failed to get a few more unplanned towels from the cotton spinning mill.

Finally, the head of the Second Purchasing Section who was responsible for connecting with the cotton mill could only ask Wu Tieshan for help. He also heard that Lin Geng was very powerful and had good relations with many brother factories and mines, so he asked Wu Tieshan to ask Lin Geng for help.

Lin Geng tried his best, and after a lot of pleading from the head of the Purchasing Section 2, Lin Geng reluctantly agreed to give it a try. He then went to the cotton mill, and the same day the cotton mill agreed to supply the steel mill with a batch of unplanned "defective" towels, which fully met the steel mill's needs for welfare benefits.

As for the so-called "defective products", there is actually no difference between them and qualified products. As to whether they are defective or not, it is entirely up to the cotton mill itself to decide.

Even Li Huaide, who was in charge of logistics, encountered difficulties and asked Lin Geng for help. Lin Geng finally claimed that he had used "all his tricks" to help Li Huaide solve the problem, which made Li Huaide look at Lin Geng with new respect and dare not underestimate Lin Geng. He made up his mind to tie Lin Geng firmly to his chariot and treated Lin Geng more affectionately.

As a result, Wu Tieshan was a little afraid of Lin Geng, fearing that Lin Geng would steal his position as section chief. However, after observing for a while, they all found that Lin Geng was really not interested in power. Even though he was promoted to deputy section chief, he was still the same as before. He was not seen in the factory all day. He was either running outside, going into the mountains to hunt, or going fishing. Sometimes he would stay in the library reading books. He did not interfere with the management of the fourth purchasing department at all, let alone participate in factory meetings. This made Wu Tieshan completely relieved.
