Siheyuan: Smiling at the Birds

At noon, Li Tianyou had lunch with Gao Meiyu and her two daughters, and then went to the steel rolling mill. After all, Liu Feng had been waiting for him.

In fact, when Qin Huairu mentioned Liu Feng, Li Tianyou knew that Liu Feng came to him to ask for supplies, but this did not affect Li Tianyou's curiosity about Liu Feng.

As soon as Li Tianyou arrived at the gate of the steel mill, he was stopped by a comrade from the security department: "Section Chief Li, Director Yang wants to see you. He is in his office. I will tell you when I see you, Section Chief Li."

Li Tianyou looked at the person who was talking to him. It seemed to be the person who gave him cigarettes when he first brought back supplies. He also smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."

The man quickly said, "No, no, Chief Li, you are too polite."

Li Tianyou thanked the man and went directly to Director Yang's office. He guessed that Liu Feng was there.

Li Tianyou came to Director Yang's office. Before Director Yang had time to speak, a thin middle-aged man excitedly shook Li Tianyou's hand and said, "Hello, you must be Section Chief Li Tianyou! I am Liu Feng from the machine repair factory, and I came here specially to see you, Section Chief Li."

Li Tianyou looked at Liu Feng and thought to himself that he looked a little older than in movies and TV dramas. That was true, after all, he was from this era. People in later generations paid more attention to maintenance.

Li Tianyou shook hands with Liu Feng, then took his hand back and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Liu, I heard from Qin Huairu that you are looking for me about supplies, right?"

Director Yang also smiled at this time and said: "Tianyou, Lao Liu has come here several times. If you can help, please help. Lao Liu and I have a long-standing friendship. Tianyou, please give me some face."

After listening to what Director Yang said, Li Tianyou complained in his heart that Director Yang had been making promises for him and always said good things, but he had never done anything decent for him and now he was pretending to be a good person.

After listening to Director Yang's words, Liu Feng felt very grateful. After all, anyone who could help him at this time would be his benefactor.

Li Tianyou sighed and said, "I will definitely try my best to help if I can, but supplies are in short supply these days, and I am not sure right now."

The supplies in Li Tianyou's space are already astronomical figures. Those mountains of food and meat are probably enough to feed the entire nation for several years.

However, Li Tianyou did not want to give this face to Director Yang. If Li Huaide came to him, he would definitely discuss the benefits first.

Although Li Tianyou doesn't care about this now, he doesn't want to be a goody-goody for nothing.

Li Tianyou thought to himself, I am not the big Buddha in Leshan, should I help you if you are in trouble?

After hearing Li Tianyou's answer, the excitement and joy on Liu Feng's face diminished a little.

Factory Director Yang said: "Tianyou, please help Lao Liu as much as possible! Their factory is really in trouble."

Liu Feng also nodded and said: "Yes, Chief Li, please help our factory! Some of our workers are fainting from hunger, and I really have no other choice.

I also know that this will make it difficult for you, Chief Li. After all, there are so many factories in Sijiu City. If people from other factories help me, they will also come to you, and you will be in a difficult position then.

But I really have no other choice but to trouble you, Chief Li.

I hope that Chief Li can help our machine repair factory and give us a good meal.”

When talking about excitement, Liu Feng still held Li Tianyou's hand tightly, feeling that this was the only way to express his emotions.

After listening to Liu Feng's words, Li Tianyou thought to himself, my damn compassion is overflowing again.

Li Tianyou sighed and said, "Director Liu, how many people are there in your factory?"

Liu Feng was delighted when he heard this and said excitedly: "We have more than 3000 people in our factory."

Li Tianyou nodded when he heard this. It was similar to what was described in movies and TV dramas. He remembered that one pig was enough for the people in the machine repair factory to hold a banquet.

Li Tianyou nodded and said: "One ton of flour, two pigs, and a wild goat. I'm going to see if there are any river fish or other freshwater fish. If there are, I'll bring some for you!

But the price will be 10% higher than the price at the supply and marketing cooperative. If you can accept it, I will send it to your machine repair shop tomorrow morning."

In fact, river seafood such as fish these days is far less precious than white flour, but it is better than nothing.

Liu Feng's hands trembled with excitement when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with tears. He said with a trembling voice: "Thank you, thank you, Chief Li. The price is no problem at all."

Looking at Liu Feng who was so excited that he was talking incoherently, Li Tianyou sighed secretly. It was really not easy to get a bite to eat these days.

Would Liu Feng feel that the price offered by Li Tianyou was high? Definitely not. It was only 10% higher than the supply and marketing cooperative. Even if it was 20% higher, Liu Feng would agree without hesitation.

Don’t ask why. Given the market conditions, prices in the pigeon market will only get more expensive.

At this time, Director Yang also laughed and said, "How about Lao Liu? I told you that God will definitely help you."

Li Tianyou looked at Director Yang with some annoyance and said, "Director Yang, my ability is limited. I'd better not agree to other people's requests in the future. Otherwise, you should find someone else to be the head of the purchasing department! Tianyou can't do it."

Director Yang was stunned when he heard this, and was shocked. He quickly said: "Tianyou, don't worry, I won't easily agree to others in the future."

Li Tianyou was amused when he heard this. What do you mean, you still agree to others' request even if you have benefits? What do you think of yourself as? A tool for you to climb up the ladder? And it's free.

Li Tianyou was too lazy to pay attention to Director Yang and said, "Let's put it this way! I still have to bring supplies to the factory tonight, so I'll go see if Deputy Director Li needs anything."

Li Tianyou left Director Yang's office amid Liu Feng's repeated thanks.

Liu Feng was very happy to see that Li Tianyou agreed to his request, and said to Director Yang: "Director Yang, I am sorry to have disturbed you so many times. Fortunately, the matter has been successfully completed. I can give an explanation to the workers when I return."

Director Yang felt unhappy. Your job was done, but what about me? This time, it seemed that Li Tianyou was upset because of you, Liu Feng.

However, Director Yang still smiled and said, "As long as the matter is done well, it's fine."

Liu Feng smiled and said, "Director Yang, I will bring you the best tea I have later. I won't bother you any more. I will go back to the machine repair factory first."

After sending Liu Feng away, Director Yang secretly regretted it. He felt that he had made Li Tianyou unhappy because of Liu Feng's favor, and he felt like he had suffered a loss.

Li Tianyou came to Li Huaide's office, and the two exchanged greetings. Li Huaide also gave Li Tianyou the list of items needed.

Li Tianyou took the list, glanced at it and said, "Brother Li, just go to the logistics warehouse to pick up the things tomorrow morning."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "Okay, brother Tianyou, I'll get the money for you right away."

Li Tianyou smiled and said, "Brother Li, let's wait until the goods arrive before talking about the money! I'm afraid that if we are short of any supplies, it will be troublesome to go back and forth."

After saying this, Li Tianyou left Li Huaide's office.

Li Tianyou wanted to go back to the purchasing department, but after thinking for a while, he pushed the cart to Liulichang. It had been a week, and he didn't know what good things Wang Defa and Sun Jiacai had found for him.

Li Tianyou came to Liulichang and found Wang Defa. Wang Defa was also excited when he saw Li Tianyou and said, "Chief Li, you are back."

Li Tianyou was delighted when he heard this, thinking that he must have received something extraordinary.

Li Tianyou asked quickly: "Mr. Wang, did you receive any good things?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Defa walked out of the counter, stood in front of the door and looked around. After carefully checking that there was no one there, he closed the door and locked it.

Looking at Wang Defa's series of actions, Li Tianyou became more certain of his guess.

Wang Defa approached Li Tianyou and whispered, "We received some incredible treasures this time, but the seller asked us to send them to Hong Kong, and also wanted 200 large yellow croakers."

Li Tianyou frowned after hearing what Wang Defa said and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you think their stuff is worth the price?"

Wang Defa nodded and said, "It's worth it, absolutely worth it. This is the first time I've seen such a treasure. I've only heard of it before."

Li Tianyou frowned even more when he heard this, and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you mean that this treasure is worth this price?"

Wang Defa shook his head and said, "No, Chief Li, it's 10 treasures. The one who took out these 10 treasures is a man who wants to send him and his family to Hong Kong with legal identity, and also wants large yellow croakers.

There are two treasures among them, which are more precious than the treasures from the previous trip, and cannot be compared with them."

Li Tianyou understood and said, "Okay, let's go to the same warehouse as last time tonight and bring the goods to trade.

So, what did the others receive?"

Wang Defa laughed and said, "Chief Li, you're going to spend a lot of money this time. The total price of the other things this time is about 100,000 yuan."

Li Tianyou was shocked after hearing this: "So many?"

Wang Defa said: "When they found out that it was our own people who bought these things, the sellers were willing to trust me, so they bought a little more, but the things were all good.

Of course, Chief Li, your identity has not been revealed to anyone."

Li Tianyou disagreed when he heard this. How could he hide his huge collection of antiques from everyone?

But Li Tianyou didn't care. So what if you knew? The worst that could happen was that he would just go to Hong Kong and wait for a dozen years before coming back.

The reason why I stayed in Sijiu City was to collect some things and make some arrangements.

Now the layout is basically completed, except for these antiques. If anyone causes trouble, I can leave at any time.

Ever since Li Tianyou came to Liulichang, he has activated his Eye of Truth and telepathy. He was relieved when he found out that Wang Defa had not lied to him.

Li Tianyou said to Wang Defa: "I still believe what Mr. Wang said. Let's meet in the evening. I will wait for Mr. Wang in the warehouse at 11 o'clock."

Li Tianyou didn't see Sun Jiacai this time, so he guessed that Sun Jiacai was busy out, and he didn't ask much.

After Li Tianyou left Liulichang, on the way back to the courtyard, he also raised the corners of his mouth. The treasures that made Wang Defa so cautious must be those heirlooms.
