Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

That night, Xiao Yun couldn't sleep all night. He spent the whole night studying recipes and only focused on one dish.

I finally got the hang of it, but the taste still feels a little off.

He Daqing's recipes were recorded very clearly, so there was no way there could be any problem with the seasonings, unless he had some unique secret seasonings. But judging from the age of this notebook, there should be no smuggling of his own special ingredients.

After washing up, Xiao Yun left the farmland. Although he had not slept all night, he was now more energetic than if he had had enough sleep. As he had been tasting the dishes and absorbing a lot of moisture in the space, the fatigue in his body was directly swept away.

After lying in bed for a while, Su Ming woke up. Today was already the fourth day of their trip. Before going to bed yesterday, Xiao Yun said that he would go back today.

Su Ming got up early for this reason. After having lunch at Qinghe Building, the manager asked someone to take the two of them to the train station and bought train tickets for them.

As a whistle pierced the sky, Xiao Yun and Su Ming officially embarked on the return journey.

The speed of the steam train was not very fast, but fortunately the distance between Baocheng and Sijiucheng was not particularly long.

At noon, the two returned to the courtyard in time for lunch.

It was during the break when Yan Bugui, who had been fishing in vain and looked depressed, immediately perked up when he saw Xiao Yun and Su Ming coming back from outside carrying things.

He rolled his eyes and quickly glanced at the things in the two people's hands, but he still couldn't see clearly until the two people entered the middle courtyard.

After all, there were some things he had never seen, so it was difficult to estimate the price.

After hesitating for a while, he ran back home and wrote down the cost of thirty-two yuan in the notebook.

He thought this was already a lot, but in fact, the two of them had bought hundreds of things. Xiao Yun spent twenty on two deer antlers alone, not to mention other rare things.

After Xiao Yun returned home, he said hello to his teacher and went out directly. His main mission this time was to go out of the city under the pretext of helping the steel mill with purchasing. Now that he is back, he naturally has to solve this matter.

Before leaving, Xiao Yun pushed his bicycle and looked towards He Yushui's room, but there was no bicycle parked at the door.

Xiao Yun deduced that He Yushui had gone out, otherwise the bicycle would definitely be there. Thinking of this, he went straight out of the compound and rode towards the steel mill.

...

Steel rolling mill, office building, inside the deputy director's office.

Li Huaide sat on the sofa, looking a little depressed, his eyes bloodshot. He sighed and looked at Wang Qiang and Chen Gang in front of him, "What do you think Xiao Yun is doing?"

"Factory...Factory Director, you have been asking us for several days. He...he said he went to purchase grain..." Wang Qiang said in a low voice.

Li Huaide paused for a moment and wanted to scold him, but found it was pointless, so he just drank his tea.

Li Huaide is now in a dilemma. Knowing that there is a food shortage in the factory, he still wants Xiao Yun to take the blame.

But who would have thought that at this critical moment, Xiao Yun gave himself a vacation, and when the time was almost up, there was no food.

The punishment fell on him again. If this matter could not be resolved, his position as deputy factory director would be over.

By then, Director Xiao Yun's position will remain unchanged, and the only position left for him may be that of deputy director.

He suddenly changed from being a high-ranking factory director to being Xiao Yun's subordinate, which he could not accept.

Therefore, he kept asking the two people in front of him, trying to gain some sense of security through words.

But every time he heard the words "Xiao Yun went out to purchase food", his heart grew colder.

Fifteen thousand pounds! This is fifteen thousand pounds.

Even if we buy all the existing grain in the Sijiucheng market, it still won’t be enough!

Why does Xiao Yun do that?

...

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, breaking the silence in the office and making Wang Qiang and Chen Gang breathe a sigh of relief.

"Who is it?" Chen Gang asked as he walked forward to open the door.

"I, Xiao Yun, am I Director Li back?" Xiao Yun said casually while standing at the door.

Xiao Yun! ?

Hearing these two words, Li Huaide seemed to hear his father calling him. He immediately became excited and didn't care that the tea spilled all over the sofa. He hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, come in!"

Due to the excitement, Li Huaide stuttered for a while and his speech became a little incoherent.

After hearing this, Chen Gang opened the door immediately and invited Xiao Yun to come in.

A few days later, when Xiao Yun met Li Huaide again, he had changed his opinion of him.

Perhaps from the moment Li Huaide tried to use Xiao Yun's connections to take the blame, the two of them would never be able to put their chopsticks into the same pot again.

What Li Huaide did may be right.

But Xiao Yun would not accept a leader who would let his subordinates take the blame when something went wrong.

Although there is no conflict between the two now, this kind of rift has already arisen in Xiao Yun's heart.

"Xiao Yun, why did you come back just now? You made me so anxious!" Li Huaide grabbed Xiao Yun's arm and said excitedly. After he finished speaking, he turned around and said, "You two should go back first. I have something to discuss with Director Xiao."

Wang Qiang and Chen Gang nodded and immediately left the house.

After the two left, Li Huaide pulled Xiao Yun to sit on the sofa, and he himself sat down on the place where the tea had just been spilled, not caring at all.

"Xiao Yun, I heard you say that you went to purchase food? What was the result?" Li Huaide asked tentatively with a nervous heart.

Xiao Yun had an easygoing look on his face, pouring himself a glass of water, "Oh, that's what I came here to talk about. We've already purchased it, and now we need to get approval and find a vehicle to take it there. We'll be back at the factory in the second half of the night."

Xiao Yun's tone was extremely calm, as if he was talking about a very small matter.

When Li Huaide listened, his body tensed up and he didn't dare to make any big movements for fear of disturbing Xiao Yun.

Only after he had heard the whole thing did he clapped his hands happily, and then asked a few more questions in a confirming tone.

After receiving a positive answer, he felt relieved.

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun, you, I will give you a great merit. You have solved the urgent problem of our factory!" Li Huaide said excitedly.

Xiao Yun was much calmer, "Director, I'm just lucky. I just happened to know someone who could provide me with food, and then..."

Li Huaide nodded repeatedly, "I understand."

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "Director, please sign quickly. I'll take the truck over there now. The grain is still there, so we need to bring it back as soon as possible."

Li Huaide slapped his forehead and stood up quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll sign now."

After receiving the note, Xiao Yun suddenly spoke, "Director, this time I come back I want to reform the purchasing department. This kind of thing can't happen a second time, otherwise I won't be able to do anything about it. I've already lost a lot of favors this time." Xiao Yun said in a serious manner.

Li Huaide nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the authority, but come back and tell me, come back and tell me."

Xiao Yun didn't hesitate and walked out of the house directly.

In the office, after Xiao Yun left, Li Huaide clapped twice to ease the excitement in his heart.

...

Soon, Xiao Yun arrived at the truck crew. After handing the note to Duan Jinsheng, he quickly found five truck crews according to the note.
