Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

After hearing these words, Director Li's smile became brighter and warmer like a flower blooming in spring, and the emotion contained in that smile seemed to illuminate every corner of people's hearts. His eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky, quickly flashed a trace of indescribable relief, and full of expectations that were beyond words, which was an infinite longing and trust for a better future.

He laughed heartily, his voice as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the room, full of infectiousness: "Haha, that's great, that's great! Since we have the same mind and the same aspirations, let's really have a good chat tonight, a long talk, and talk about everything! Whether it's those thorny problems at work that make people scratch their heads, or those seemingly insignificant but warm and interesting trivial things in daily life, bring them out all at once, let's talk about them together and share them. Come on, don't rush to talk, drink a cup of hot tea first, moisten your throat, and then we can talk slowly."

Before he finished speaking, Director Li stood up swiftly, and walked to the tea table with the teapot in a skillful and neat manner. He steadily picked up the handle of the teapot, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the boiling hot water poured accurately into a beautifully shaped, glazed tea cup like an obedient child. Then, he carefully picked up the cup of tea that was still emitting curling hot steam and overflowing with tea fragrance, walked steadily to Liu Ping'an, and gently and respectfully placed it on the tea table in front of Liu Ping'an.

Seeing this, Liu Pingan quickly stretched out his hands, his hands trembling slightly, and respectfully received the teacup that carried the deep friendship of Director Li. He first carefully approached the edge of the cup and gently blew away the light and elegant hot air on the surface, as if he was treating a precious work of art. Then, he slowly and expectantly put his lips to it and took a small sip.

Instantly, a strong and mellow tea fragrance spread rapidly throughout his mouth like a flood. The tea fragrance was fresh and elegant, yet rich and fragrant, as if it had some kind of magical power that could instantly soothe the irritability and anxiety in people's hearts. Even the many troubles and worries that had been lingering in his heart seemed to be dispelled by the tea fragrance at this moment, dissipating without a trace.

He slowly and reluctantly put down the teacup in his hand, raised his head, and looked at Director Li with gratitude and admiration, his eyes full of sincerity and trust. He moved his lips and said sincerely: "Director Li, to be honest, for this hand-cranked water pump project, although I know that there will be huge challenges and difficulties waiting for us ahead, but every time I think of having an excellent leader like you who fully supports and selflessly dedicates himself behind me, a strong self-confidence and strength will surge in my heart. This strength makes me firmly believe that no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we can work hand in hand, overcome it together, and move towards success. In addition, about the fact that you mentioned to me before that I might need to transfer my position, I have always been very concerned and looking forward to it. I would like to ask, how exactly is it arranged? What challenges and opportunities will I face in the new position?"

After hearing this, Director Li's originally peaceful expression instantly became serious and earnest. He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Ping An in front of him with a sharp gaze, and then slowly spoke in a calm and firm tone: "Ping An, this time regarding your job transfer is a careful decision made by our factory after a long period of repeated consideration and in-depth thinking. During your tenure as the head of the Purchasing Department, you have always been conscientious and dedicated to your duties. Not only did you control the cost just right, but you also relied on your keen insight and decisive decision-making ability to quickly find key materials that can solve problems at critical moments. Because of this, your work achievements are obvious to all, and you have made outstanding contributions to our factory!"

At this point, Director Li paused for a moment, coughed twice, and then continued, "However, I believe you are well aware of the actual situation in the factory. The production line is in urgent need of a person with rich experience and outstanding ability to take charge of the overall situation, so as to effectively ensure the stability of product quality and the steady improvement of production efficiency. And considering all factors, you are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate!"

Then, Director Li took a deep breath and continued, "As for the procurement work you have been in charge of before, the factory will temporarily assign other personnel to take over. But please rest assured that despite the change of position, the valuable experience and unique vision you have accumulated over the years will still play a decisive role in the ultimate success of the entire hand-cranked water pump project. Therefore, I sincerely hope that you can gladly accept the new appointment and devote yourself to the production management of the hand-cranked water pump project in your new identity as the deputy director of production. In this way, on the one hand, you can give full play to your personal expertise, and on the other hand, it will be more conducive to your efficient coordination and organization of various resources such as human and material resources from all parties, thereby ensuring that the project can be smoothly promoted and successfully completed according to the planned schedule!"

After listening to Director Li's words, Liu Pingan felt a surge of blood in his heart, and the pride seemed to burst through his chest. He deeply understood that this job change was not just a superficial change, but more like a milestone, witnessing the results of his hard work over the years, and a high recognition of his own ability and responsibility.

So, he nodded seriously and firmly to Director Li, and responded in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Director Li, please rest assured! I will do my best to do every job well, and will never slack off, and will never let you down for the trust and high expectations you have given me. Next, I will fully understand and familiarize myself with the new job as quickly as possible, and do my utmost to ensure that the production line can always maintain a stable and efficient operation state; at the same time, I will always pay close attention to various problems in related links such as material procurement, and take effective measures to solve them, so as to ensure that the entire project can be smoothly promoted and all the established goals can be successfully completed."

Hearing this impassioned statement, Director Li could not help but nod slightly with satisfaction, and his originally amiable face now showed a warm and gratifying smile like the spring breeze. He smiled and patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Haha, great! Xiao Liu, I firmly believe from the beginning that as long as this important task is handed over to you, there will be absolutely no mistakes. Okay, let's put aside those tedious work affairs tonight and enjoy a relaxing and pleasant time. Let me tell you a little secret, Aunt Huang has carefully cooked a table full of delicious dishes at home, and she is eagerly looking forward to our return home to feast on them!"

As they spoke, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. That smile seemed to contain thousands of words, and all the words they wanted to say could be understood without having to express them in words.

Then, Director Li methodically sorted out the slightly messy documents on the table and slowly stood up. He first gently patted Liu Ping'an's broad shoulders, then smiled and said, "Let's go, Xiao Liu, let's go back now, don't let Aunt Huang wait at home for too long!" Hearing this, Liu Ping'an nodded quickly and stood up immediately. In this way, the two walked out of the office shoulder to shoulder, and walked steadily along the corridor towards Director Li's home with brisk steps.

Along the way, the two of them chatted from time to time like old friends who had known each other for many years, sometimes talking about interesting things at work, and sometimes exchanging bits and pieces of life. The whole atmosphere seemed relaxed and pleasant, and laughter continued to echo in the long corridor.

Liu Ping'an knew very well that tonight's dinner was definitely not just an ordinary home-cooked meal. It was more like a powerful testimony to the sincere and deep friendship between him and Director Li.

Not long after, the two of them walked briskly to the door of Director Li's house. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the door, adding a bit of warmth to this warm moment. At this time, Aunt Huang was already standing there, her figure stretched out in the reflection of the setting sun, with a smile of expectation and joy on her face, her eyes fixed on the distance, as if she was afraid to miss any moment of Liu Ping'an's arrival.

As soon as she saw Liu Ping'an's familiar figure, Aunt Huang's face immediately lit up with a smile, which was as warm as a blooming flower. She quickly stepped forward and held Liu Ping'an's hand affectionately, as if she was meeting a long-lost relative. She poured out words of concern like a string of cannonballs: "Oh, Xiao Liu, you're finally here! I haven't seen you for a while, and you look much more energetic! Is your work going well? Are you feeling well?" That kind of warmth, as if she treated Liu Ping'an as her own family, made people feel warm inside.

Walking into the house, what comes into view is a dining table filled with a dazzling array of dishes. On the table, all kinds of delicious dishes exude tempting aromas. They are delicious in color, aroma and taste, making people salivate. There is the mellowness of braised pork, the freshness of steamed fish, the sweet and sour taste of sweet and sour spareribs... Every dish is like a work of art, carefully crafted, making people reluctant to put down their chopsticks. The waves of aroma come straight to the tip of the nose, arousing people's appetite deep in their hearts, making people swallow their saliva.

Everyone sat around the table, with a happy smile on everyone's face. They enjoyed the satisfaction brought by the food while chatting freely. From work trivia to life anecdotes, from life philosophy to family matters, the topics were endless and the laughter continued. The atmosphere on the scene was so warm and harmonious, as if the whole world was filled with love and warmth.

In the spacious, bright and beautifully decorated banquet hall, people were sitting around the dining table, and it was even more lively. At this time, Director Li and Aunt Huang were talking cordially with Liu Ping'an, and their faces were filled with sincere smiles.

Director Li smiled and asked kindly, "Xiao Liu, has your work been going well recently? Have you encountered any difficulties?" His eyes were full of care and expectation, as if he was asking about the recent situation of his own child. Liu Pingan quickly replied, "Thank you Director Li for your concern! At present, the work is progressing smoothly, but sometimes we encounter some technical difficulties. But fortunately, we can solve them one by one by consulting materials and asking colleagues." His tone was full of confidence and determination, which made Director Li nod with satisfaction and approval.

Aunt Huang asked Liu Ping'an about his living conditions with more concern: "How are you doing in life? Is everything okay? If there is anything you need help with, please let us know. We are all your family!" Her words were like a spring breeze, making people feel warm. Liu Ping'an looked at Aunt Huang gratefully and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Huang, I don't have any big problems in my life. The factory has always taken good care of us employees, and the conditions in all aspects are pretty good. Moreover, I feel very happy to have elders like you and Director Li care about me." His eyes were full of gratitude and admiration, which moved everyone present.

Then, Liu Pingan took the initiative to share his work experiences with Director Li and Aunt Huang. He enthusiastically described how he successfully overcame difficulties on the production line one after another, and how he worked closely with team members to improve efficiency. His words were full of a sense of accomplishment and pride. At the same time, he also talked about the valuable experience and lessons he learned from these experiences, and said that these have enabled him to continue to grow and improve.

When talking about his future plans, Liu Ping'an's eyes sparkled with determination. He passionately painted a grand blueprint, hoping to continue to improve his professional skills, bring more innovations and improvements to the factory, and look forward to leading the team to achieve greater results and help the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill move to a higher level.

After listening to Liu Ping'an's story, Director Li and Aunt Huang nodded frequently, giving high praise and encouragement to his performance. Director Li patted Liu Ping'an on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Xiao Liu, I can see that you are a good young man with ambition and responsibility. As long as you work hard, you will have a bright future!" Aunt Huang also smiled and agreed: "Yes, our factory needs talents like you. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill will definitely get better and better!"

That night, Liu Pingan savored the rich and delicious dishes and felt the pleasure on his tongue. However, what made him feel more satisfied and happy was the sincere and deep friendship between his leaders and colleagues. He deeply understood that this friendship was like the warm sun in winter, warming his heart; it was also like a bright lamp, illuminating his way forward. It was not only a precious treasure he had at the moment, but also a powerful source of motivation that inspired him to move forward courageously and work tirelessly. In the days to come, no matter how many storms and obstacles he encountered, Liu Pingan would remember this friendship and use practical actions to create a more brilliant future for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!
