Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

After sending his younger siblings to school, Cao Liang went to the steel rolling mill.

As soon as he pushed the door open and entered the office, he immediately received complaints from Li Shengli and others.

"Liangzi, close the door quickly. It's freezing."

"This is such a horrible weather. I was almost kidnapped by the bed today."

"You're just dreaming. We're preparing for the New Year, so we have to put on an act no matter what."

Cao Liang took off his cotton-padded jacket, hung it up, and said disdainfully: "You guys are really awesome, closing the doors and windows and smoking so much, aren't you afraid of suffocating yourself to death?"

He pointed at the listless Gangzi and scolded him with a smile: "Look at what you have done to Gangzi."

"It has nothing to do with them."

Gangzi said depressedly, "It was Dongzi and Mosquito who insisted on dragging me out to drink last night. Now they are still lying in my house. I am suffering."

Cao Liang pushed open the window to let the thick smoke out.

"Hey, Liangzi, are you going to freeze us to death?"

Wang Weidong complained, then said enviously: "Liangzi, how did you train? You are wearing so little in such cold weather, aren't you cold?"

Cao Liang said perfunctorily: "Don't you know that people who practice martial arts are not afraid of the cold?"

"fart."

Li Shengli laughed and scolded, "Do you think I haven't read the storybook? I'm still cultivating immortality! Hurry up and close the window."

"I can't turn it off. I have to wait until the smoke clears."

Cao Liang shook his head and said, "Also, if you want to smoke, either open the window or go outside. No discussion."

Zhou Zhiyuan said with a bitter face: "Then let's go out and smoke! At least it will be warmer when we come in."

Wang Weidong also thinks so.

After waiting for a few minutes, Cao Liang finally closed the window.

After pouring a cup of tea brewed by Li Shengli, Cao Liang leaned back in his chair and began to slack off leisurely.

But Lee Seung-ri obviously didn't want him to be so relaxed.

He said to Cao Liang, "Liangzi, my uncle asked you to go find him."

"What's the matter?"

Cao Liang looked at Li Shengli.

"What else can happen?"

Li Shengli said, "Isn't it the end of the year? My uncle wants to ask you if you can get more supplies, provide benefits to the workers, and make more contributions. Maybe you can move up a level."

That's probably impossible.

Cao Liang said to himself.

According to the original plot, Li Huaide would still be the deputy factory director even in 1965.

Although because of the appearance of Cao Liang, his promotion was a little earlier.

But it probably won't be easy to get rid of Director Yang.

But he asked, "What do you need?"

"Of course it's meat!"

Li Shengli said affirmatively: "These days, being able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year is the happiest thing, right?"

Zhou Zhiyuan and the others also nodded repeatedly.

If they hadn't exchanged some game with Cao Liang from time to time, they wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Cao Liang frowned and said, "There are so many people in our factory, so it must be a lot of meat!"

"Yes, you need to ask my uncle for the exact amount."

Li Shengli asked expectantly, "Liangzi, can you get it?"

"It's possible, but I can't guarantee too much."

Cao Liang pretended to hesitate for a moment before speaking.

"Can it be a thousand pounds?"

Seeing Cao Liang said he could get it, Li Shengli hurriedly said: "If I can get it, maybe I can move up a bit."

Cao Liang shook his head and said, "I don't think that's possible. After all, your length of service is a disadvantage, Brother Li."

Li Shengli was able to take the position of section chief thanks to Li Huaide.

But if you want to continue moving forward, that is definitely impossible and you will have to endure for a few years.

"If it's a thousand kilograms, you can still get it if you spend some time."

Cao Liang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Really?"

"That should be about right."

"Let's go find my uncle now."

After Li Shengli finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled Cao Liang out of the office.

Wait until people leave.

Wang Weidong said regretfully, "Hey, Brother Li is too anxious. I wanted to ask Liangzi if he could get me some meat. I think we haven't found any meat for the New Year yet."

"Who says it's not?"

Zhou Zhiyuan nodded in agreement and asked Gangzi, "Gangzi, what do your family say?"

Gangzi replied without thinking: "I'll listen to Liangzi."

"Okay, pretend I didn't ask."

Zhou Zhiyuan rolled his eyes and made himself look bad. He shouldn't have asked this fool.

...

Li Shengli knocked on Li Huaide's office door symbolically and then pushed it open and walked in.

"Uncle, that's great!"

"How many times have I told you to knock on the door and wait for my permission before coming in? If I'm doing something, wouldn't you ruin my good thing?"

Li Huaide complained for a while, then smiled and looked at Cao Liang: "Xiao Cao, from what Shengli said, it seems that you already know what happened. Tell me, how much meat can you get?"

Before Cao Liang could speak, Li Shengli rushed to say, "Uncle, Liangzi said he could get a thousand kilograms."

"Oh?"

Li Huaide was delighted, but then he said with some embarrassment: "Although one thousand kilograms is not a small amount, the workers only get about one or two kilograms of meat, which is still a little less."

There are only a few slices of meat, not even enough to fill the gaps between your teeth.

"How much does the leader want? Let's talk about it in advance. If it's too much, I can't get it."

Cao Liang asked first, and then reminded Li Huaide not to ask for too much.

After these few months, there were already quite a few pigs in his space ranch, and he could still produce one or two thousand kilograms of meat.

As for grain, it is more obvious. He has never sold it to the steel mill, but always asked Chi Hu to handle it.

"At least two thousand kilograms."

Li Huaide thought for a moment and said.

"How about it, Xiao Cao, can you get it?"

"can."

Cao Liang nodded and reminded, "But leader, this is my limit, and it will take some time."

"No problem, as long as we get it before the end of the year."

Li Huaide was extremely happy, thinking that he would make another contribution, but he didn't know if he could move up a level.

Afterwards, he did not forget to assure her: "Don't worry, Xiao Cao, as long as you can get the meat back, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Then thank you, leader."

Hearing Cao Liang say this, Li Huaide knew that the matter was settled.

He happily took out a ticket from the drawer and said with a smile, "In the entire purchasing department, Xiao Cao, you are the most capable. Here, this is a reward for you in advance. There will be more later."

Cao Liang took it and looked at it, and it turned out to be a radio ticket.

Cao Liang joked, "Boss, if you give me another sewing ticket, I can get enough for three turns and one ring."

Li Huaide laughed and said, "Haha, it seems that Xiao Cao has also started to miss women. OK, when I get the meat back, I will give you a ticket for sewing tickets."

After saying that, he winked at Cao Liang and said with a smile, "Xiao Cao, do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Talents like Cao Liang must become their own true talents.

Although he has no daughter, he has many relatives in his family.

"Then there's no need for that. Let's talk about it in two years." Cao Liang shook his head.

"Yes, it's best to focus on your career right now."

Li Huaide nodded. After all, he was still waiting for Cao Liang to help him achieve more merits.
