The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Jia Dongxu didn't take this suggestion seriously at all.

"Master, you are wrong. Liu Minghui never goes out to purchase goods. I heard that he stays in the steel mill every day and never goes out."

Jia Dongxu didn't want to ask Liu Minghui for help, the man who made him lose face.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's resistance, Yi Zhonghai could only sigh. He couldn't understand why the relationship between these two people was so bad.

"In that case, then you figure it out yourself."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he took two quick steps to distance himself.

"Hey, Master."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai leaving, Jia Dongxu hurriedly ran up.

At the steel rolling mill, Liu Minghui arrived at the purchasing department early. There are still many buyers who have not gone to the countryside, because even if they go to the countryside, they cannot purchase much things, unless they are lucky enough to come across a village close to the mountains and happen to come back from hunting and buy some prey.

"Chief, we have purchased much less supplies recently. Four or five buyers have not completed their tasks in the past three months. It is estimated that most people will not be able to complete their tasks this month."

After Liu Minghui sat down, Li Yue came in and reported on various issues in the purchasing department.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui had no choice. After all, this was not a problem of the buyer's ability, but a result of the overall environment.

After thinking for a while, Liu Minghui said, "I know this is not their fault. Just talk to them and try your best to complete it. Even if you can't complete it, it doesn't matter."

"But just be careful not to stay in the countryside every day."

After saying this, Liu Minghui added that if there was no pressure, these people might just stay in the steel mill every day and not go out.

"Okay, Chief, I'll go talk to them right away."

Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief after getting Liu Minghui's consent. She was afraid that Liu Minghui would strictly follow the rules set before. If so, there might be only a few people left in the purchasing department by the end of the year.

"go Go."

After waving his hand to let Li Yue go out, Liu Minghui picked up the newspaper and started reading.

Having been a deputy section chief for more than a year, Liu Minghui can now read the newspaper before going to work every day. This is a way to get a grasp of various real-time information.

This is a newspaper subscribed by the steel mill. From it, you can learn about various policy information issued by the higher-ups. There are also many contributions from factory workers, and you can see many interesting things.

Just as I was concentrating on reading the newspaper, Li Yue suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.

"Chief, the director wants you to come over."

The director Li Yue was referring to was Li Weiguo, Liu Minghui’s immediate superior.

"Oh, did you tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"No, I just want to discuss something."

After hearing this, Liu Minghui put down his things and went to Li Weiguo.

"Brother Zhang, you are here too."

While walking on the road, Liu Minghui saw Zhang Zhiqiang from Section 1, so he greeted him.

Zhang Zhiqiang turned around and saw that it was Liu Minghui, so he smiled and said, "It seems that our director has something important to do, and he actually called us all."

After Zhang Zhiqiang finished speaking, he led the way into Li Weiguo's office.

"Zhiqiang and Minghui are here, come and sit down."

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Li Weiguo sitting on the sofa looking at a document.

When he saw the two people coming in, he waved and let them pass.

"Director, what's the matter with calling us here?"

After sitting down, Zhang Zhiqiang was the first to ask.

Liu Minghui also looked at Li Weiguo closely to see what he would say.

Li Weiguo put down what he was holding, then sighed and said, "Just now, the two factory directors and several key leaders held a small meeting. At the meeting, Director Yang assigned an important task to our purchasing department."

Li Weiguo paused for a moment, allowing the two to digest the information.

Then he continued, "In a few days, a group of Russian experts will come to guide our work. Director Yang attaches great importance to this matter, so Director Yang hopes that we can take good care of the food?"

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. What was going on? Zhang Zhiqiang didn't understand, so he asked directly, "Director, I understand eating, but this Russian expert doesn't want to eat our food, or what else does he want to eat?"

"Yes, Director, you have to give a standard, right? You don't want us to know what to purchase."

Liu Minghui also started asking questions. Li Weiguo, who was being questioned by the two, smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, I will just provide them with good food and drink."

Li Weiguo didn't know what to prepare, so he called both of them over to discuss it.

"Director, then we just need to prepare more meat. This is already very good."

Liu Minghui spoke now.

You have to know that the steel rolling mill can only eat meat two or three times a month. Liu Minghui has not supplied pork to the steel rolling mill for several months. Usually, it only supplies chickens, rabbits and the like.

It's not that Liu Minghui didn't have it, but he couldn't find the source to bring it out. It would be strange if you, the steel rolling mill, were the only one among so many factories in Beijing to eat meat every day.

But being an alternative is not a good idea in this era. Enemy spies are rampant now. If Liu Minghui can't explain the things clearly, he will have to go to jail if nothing unexpected happens.

"Okay then. Zhiqiang is going to buy more wine. Russians love to drink. As for Minghui, just do as you say."

Finally, Li Weiguo made the decision, which he thought was really good.

After leaving Li Weiguo's office, Liu Minghui went back to the purchasing department alone. Now all the workshops in the steel rolling mill were busy, and it was not convenient for Liu Minghui to hang around outside.

At noon, Liu Minghui left the steel rolling mill after lunch, under the pretext of going to get supplies.

Liu Minghui rode his bicycle to a courtyard house on Qianmen Street. This was the ancestral home of Pianerye, which was bought by Liu Minghui for 5,000 yuan a few years ago.

This place is very close to Dazhalan, just across two alleys. Liu Minghui usually comes to check it out every once in a while to prevent homeless people from moving in.

You should know that there are still many old furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties preserved inside, all of which were left by Pianerye.

Liu Minghui even paid a few hundred dollars more for these furniture.

After entering the door, Liu Minghui looked around the three courtyards in front and behind and found nothing wrong, then locked the door and left.

Liu Minghui came directly to the tavern. Although it was noon, there were still a few customers inside because Xu Huizhen had converted the next door into a convenient canteen.

"Hey, what a rare visitor! Comrade Liu hasn't been here for a long time."

When Xu Huizhen saw Liu Minghui come in, she greeted him.

"Hey, Boss Xu has a good memory. It's true that I haven't been here for two months. Let's go to the bar first."

Liu Minghui found a seat and sat down, without paying attention to who the customers were in the store.
