Siheyuan: Qin Huairu relies on me

Steel rolling mill.

Factory director's office.

"Zhao Xiyan, are you crazy? You want to publish a newspaper? Do you think I look like a newspaper?" Yang Jianguo said angrily.

"Old Yang, calm down. It's a good thing for young people to be energetic." Li Weimin comforted him.

"Yes."

Zhang Zhichen curled his lips and said, "Minister Zhao has many ideas..."

"have a thought?"

Yang Jianguo was so angry that he laughed, "Director Zhang, we are a steel mill, not a fucking magazine. How can we publish a newspaper in the steel mill?"

"Director, I don't think the steel mill will affect our newspaper..." Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "If you think the risk is too great, then the money will be considered a loan from our Propaganda Department. We will borrow 50,000 yuan and pay it back in three years. From now on, our Propaganda Department will be responsible for its own profits and losses."

"Fifty thousand? You really are asking for too much. Besides, what are you going to pay back with?" Yang Jianguo said angrily.

"Don't shout, don't shout."

Li Weimin hurriedly said, "Minister Zhao is capable, can't you just listen to what he has to say?"

"Okay, you say..." Yang Jianguo said in a deep voice.

"I have decided to collect manuscripts not only from the steel mill, but also from all the factories in this city. After we select the manuscripts, we will send them to major newspapers. We will advance the royalties, but it will be 50% of the newspaper's fee. After the royalties come in, we will make a profit," Zhao Xiyan said seriously.

"No...can't they send it directly to the newspaper office? They have to send it to you?" Zhang Zhichen frowned.

"This is why I wanted to run a newspaper. Many manuscripts are actually excellent, but newspapers may not publish them, so we are the ones to do this." Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "Director, if you approve me for 50,000 yuan... I will pay you back within three years. In the future, our Propaganda Department will be financially independent and will not need the factory to pay us a penny in salary."

"Really?"

Yang Jianguo was quite tempted.

"Really? If you don't believe me, I can issue a military order." Zhao Xiyan said seriously.

"No, you don't have that much money even if you sign a military order." Yang Jianguo rolled his eyes and said, "Fifty thousand yuan... do you know what that means?"

"How much can you give?" Zhao Xiyan asked in a deep voice.

"At most three... no, twenty thousand." Yang Jianguo said seriously, "If you succeed, then your Propaganda Department will be independent and I won't give you a penny. If you fail, I will deduct three years' salary from you."

"Three years?"

Li Weimin and Zhang Zhichen were both shocked.

"Sign the agreement."

Zhao Xiyan immediately sat down and began to draft the contract.

Yang Jianguo looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

I haven’t seen such a courageous and hardworking young person for a long time.

Twenty minutes later.

The three factory managers passed the agreement around to each other.

“This one is wrong.”

Yang Jianguo said unhappily, "What do you mean the Propaganda Department makes a profit and the factory can't interfere? The capital was paid by the factory."

"I don't have to pay it back?"

Zhao Xiyan rolled his eyes and said, "This money is borrowed. I still have to pay the salaries of the Propaganda Department in the future."

"Cough cough cough..."

Li Weimin coughed twice and said, "Minister Zhao, if that's what you want to say, then let's change the agreement... You have to pay back 30,000."

"No, you're lending money at high interest, right?" Zhao Xiyan was so angry that he laughed. "The Propaganda Department's monthly salary is over a thousand... and I still have to pay the interest? You might as well just rob a credit union."

"Don't bother me."

Zhang Zhichen waved his hand and said, "We are raising the price, and you have to pay us back when we get home. We can't take the risk for you... can we lend it to you for free?"

"Yes, yes, we all support your financial independence. You should at least give us some interest, right?" Yang Jianguo also echoed.

"Nine thousand." Li Weimin said seriously.

"One thousand." Zhao Xiyan rolled his eyes.

"Eight thousand."

Li Weimin took a step back.

"It's at most four thousand. If you don't want to lend it to me, I'll go back to the Propaganda Department for tea." Zhao Xiyan said sternly.

"make a deal."

Yang Jianguo slammed the table hard.

"Can I add one more request?" Zhao Xiyan said with a smile.

"You say..." Li Weimin said in a deep voice.

"I'll give you 10,000, but the factory has to provide me with a car." Zhao Xiyan said seriously, "I need to go out to do business now, and it's not very convenient without a car."

"If you pay me back 50,000, I'll buy you a car." Yang Jianguo said seriously, "You can drive the car first... Once you pay me back, the car will be yours exclusively."

"Change the agreement."

Zhao Xiyan slammed the table hard.

The four people immediately modified the agreement and then signed their names.

"Put your fingerprints on it." Yang Jianguo said vigilantly.

"Look at how stingy you are. Will I default on my debt?"

Zhao Xiyan rolled his eyes.

"Hurry up." Li Weimin urged.

"have to."

Zhao Xiyan smeared the ink and stamped his handprint on it. "Appropriate funds will be allocated this afternoon... If you are short of a penny, I will burn your office to ashes."

After saying this, he walked away.

"This kid..."

Yang Jianguo smiled and shook his head.

"Director, do you want to withhold part of his royalties? Otherwise, what should we do if he can't pay it back when the time comes?" Li Weimin said with a smile.

"No, what does it mean to withhold part of his royalties?" Zhang Zhichen asked in surprise.

"Do you think our steel mill got its money from the wind?" Yang Jianguo rolled his eyes. "A young man asked for 50,000 yuan. If I approve it, I will still be a shitty factory director..."

"No, what's the situation?" Zhang Zhichen frowned.

"The ministry issued a notice that all of Zhao Xiyan's income was legal... so we shouldn't investigate his financial situation." Li Weimin was amazed. "How much do you think this guy got for his writing to warrant such a notice?"

"One...one thousand?" Zhang Zhichen stuttered.

"Look at you, at least 5,000." Yang Jianguo sneered, "If it weren't for the royalties, do you think I would approve the money for him?"

"Good guy."

Zhang Zhichen muttered to himself, "How much money did this kid make?"

"Don't worry about how much he earns. I just want to make sure my factory makes money." Yang Jianguo chuckled.

Li Weimin looked at his smug look and suddenly an idea came to his mind.

after an hour.

"Here's a notification."

"Since joining the factory, Liu Lan, a cook in the first canteen, has performed excellently and is well-liked by the masses. After discussion by the factory committee, she was promoted to deputy director of the first canteen. I hope she will continue to work hard in the days ahead."

The news was broadcast three times, but it didn't cause any stir.

After all, apart from those who work in the cafeteria, who would care who the cafeteria director is? Not to mention the deputy director.

A canteen.

"Liu...Liu Lan?"

Sha Zhu looked incredulous.

The canteen director Sun De ran into the canteen and laughed at the confused Liu Lan, "Congratulations, Director Liu..."

"Director, I..."

Liu Lan was quite at a loss.

"Hey, what director? Just call me Old Sun from now on." Sun De said with a smile on his face, "Director Liu... these jobs are not yours to do. I'll give you a day off today. Go back and change your clothes and come on time tomorrow."

"Director Sun, who promoted Liu Lan?" Sha Zhu frowned.

Snapped!

Sun De slapped him on the head and said angrily, "He Yuzhu, you better watch your words... How dare you call Director Liu by his name?"

"I……"

Sha Zhu covered his face, feeling very aggrieved.

Liu Lan was suddenly surprised and suddenly remembered the words of the little man.

"I don't have a say in the factory right now. I'll use my connections to transfer you to an easier position... Otherwise, you'll have rheumatism when you get older if you wash vegetables every day."

……

Thinking of this, she felt numb all over.

Liu Lan had a difficult first half of her life, but unexpectedly she met such a good man.
