Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

Early next day.

After Cao Liang sent Yaya to the red education class, he walked towards the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

Xiao Ming went to school by himself.

He came here today just to get things cleared up about his mother.

If nothing unexpected happens, it must be related to the birds in the yard.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

As soon as Cao Liang arrived at the door, he was stopped by two guards.

One of them even unsheathed his weapon and pointed the black muzzle of a gun at him.

This is how it is these days, especially in an important factory like a steel rolling mill, the level of vigilance is very high.

The guards all carry real weapons.

Cao Liang quickly explained: "Hello, comrade. My name is Cao Liang. I'm here to see Li Shengli from the Purchasing Department. He asked me to come."

"Your last name is Cao? Who is Cao Weiguo to you?"

One of the guards, who looked older, asked after hearing Cao Liang's introduction.

Cao Liang was stunned and replied: "Cao Weiguo is my father."

"Liangzi?"

the man tried to shout.

"Uncle Yao?"

Cao Liang also felt that the person in front of him looked familiar.

"It's really you, kid!"

The man motioned to the people beside him to put away their weapons, stepped forward and looked Cao Liang up and down, and said with relief: "In the blink of an eye, you have grown up so big. We haven't seen each other for two or three years, right?"

This man was called Yao Dali. He was not only his father’s former colleague, but also a comrade-in-arms.

However, since Lao Cao passed away, the two families have rarely interacted with each other.

Maybe Chen Huilan is too strong-willed and doesn’t want to trouble others!

Yao Dali patted Cao Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You look strong and healthy. How is your family?"

"pretty good."

Cao Liang smiled and said, "I am not studying anymore. I can do some odd jobs to supplement the family income."

Alas! Yao Dali sighed and said, "My sister-in-law is also a strong-willed person. When Lao Cao went there, I told her that she should come to me if she had any difficulties, but she just didn't come. As a result, our two families have less contact."

Cao Liang didn't know what to say either.

After all, they have their own families to support. Not to mention Chen Huilan, even he would not think of bothering others all the time.

Seeing Cao Liang was silent, Yao Dali didn't know what to say, so he asked, "You just said you came to see Li Shengli, and you also know the nephew of our logistics director?"

"I met you once."

Cao Liang told the truth.

Yao Dali said to the guard behind him, "Xiao Zhao, go to the purchasing department and call Li Shengli, and tell him that Cao Liang is looking for him."

"Okay Captain."

Upon hearing this, the young security guard ran in.

After chatting with Yao Dali for a while, Li Shengli came out. When he saw Cao Liang, he excitedly said, "Liangzi, you are here? Is there..."

Halfway through his words, Li Shengli realized that there were other people around, so he shut up and winked at Cao Liang.

Cao Liang said to Yao Dali, "Uncle Yao, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, if you have any difficulties at home, come to me."

Yao Dali nodded, told Cao Liang his home address, and then went back to guard the door.

Li Shengli and Cao Liang came to a corner, and Li Shengli couldn't wait to ask: "Liangzi, did you get something good again?"

"It's really a good thing. Do you want the bear paw?"

Cao Liang asked with a smile.

"What? Bear paw? But is it real?"

Li Shengli looked at the bag in Cao Liang's hand excitedly and was about to snatch it away.

Last time he got ten kilograms of meat, which was just enough to complete this month's task.

His uncle has already made him a regular employee ahead of schedule.

His uncle said that as long as he could continue to get more good things, it would not be difficult to climb up.

After all, the situation is difficult everywhere now, and procurement work is difficult to carry out.

If we can really get supplies, especially meat, promotion will be a piece of cake.

Cao Liang nodded and opened the bag, revealing two bear paws.

The reason he kept it was to prepare it for Lee Seung-ri.

The reason is naturally that he wants to get in touch with Li Huaide.

After Li Shengli confirmed it, he suppressed his excitement and asked, "Liangzi, what do you want?"

Cao Liang shook his head: "These two bear paws are just gifts for Brother Li."

"Liangzi, if you have something to say, just tell me. As long as it requires help, your brother Li will do it for you."

Li Shengli knew that there was no free lunch in the world. His little brother was so generous, he must have something in mind.

So he didn't say too much and only agreed to do it if it was possible.

Cao Liang was naturally aware of this, and he whispered, "Brother Li, can you introduce me to Director Li?"

"That's it?"

Li Shengli was stunned.

He still thought Cao Liang wanted to work, and he really had no say in these things.

But it's still okay to recommend it.

After all, when he brought back wild boar meat, Li Huaide asked him how he got it.

He also talked about Cao Liang, and Li Huaide expressed interest in Cao Liang.

It shouldn't be a problem to meet once.

But he still reminded: "Liangzi, to tell you the truth, my uncle can indeed give you a job, but the prerequisite is that you have real ability."

As for what the ability is?

Of course, it is to get supplies.

It’s hard to say about other work, such as in the workshop, but the purchasing department can definitely arrange it.

After all, the purchasing department’s performance is dismal right now, so it would be a good thing for it to have a few talented people assigned to it.

"I know. Sorry to bother you, Brother Li."

"It's no big deal, just follow me."

So, Li Shengli took Cao Liang into the factory and came to Li Huaide's office.

Kaka!

He knocked on the door, and immediately there was the sound of tables and chairs colliding.

Cao Liang had very good hearing and immediately guessed what was going on inside. His expression suddenly became strange.

As expected of Li Huaide, he is doing physical work in broad daylight.

Li Shengli noticed Cao Liang's expression and whispered, "Liangzi, don't talk nonsense later. Just pretend you don't know."

Cao Liang nodded.

Soon the door was opened, and a plump woman with her clothes still a little messy ran out.

Only then did Li Shengli take Cao Liang in.

I saw a middle-aged man with a greasy hair sitting there. It was Li Huaide, the logistics director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"Why are you here, kid?"

Li Huaide glared at Li Shengli, as if blaming him for ruining his good deeds. Then he saw Cao Liang and asked, "Who is this young comrade?"

"Uncle, he is Comrade Cao Liang whom I told you about last time."

After Li Shengli finished the introduction, he handed over the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, Liangzi also brought you some good things!"

"Oh?"

Li Huaide was also curious about what Cao Liang had given him. He looked into the bag and was immediately surprised: "Is this... a bear paw?"

Li Shengli said proudly: "That's right, and it's the front paw."

There are differences among bear paws. The most delicious one is naturally the front paw, especially the left front paw, which is the most delicious.

"Have a heart."

Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction, looked at Cao Liang and said, "Tell me! What do you want?"

Before Cao Liang could speak, Li Shengli helped him out by saying, "Uncle, my brother is a capable man who can get game. Can you arrange a job for him in the purchasing department?"

"Working?"

Li Huaide hesitated for a moment before saying, "The job is fine, but I can only give you a temporary position at the beginning. As long as you can get the supplies, I can make you a regular employee. Comrade, can you accept it?"
