The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

When we arrived at the venue for movie screenings at the steel mill, we saw that the place was packed with people. There were many workers at the steel mill, and showing movies was one of the few entertainment activities in that era, so many people came with their families.

"Come, come here, there are fewer people."

Liu Minghui and a few others walked through the crowded crowd and found the seats of the people from the purchasing department. They did not go back but took their seats early. When they saw Liu Minghui coming, they greeted him.

"Chief, come and sit here, our seat is great."

Sun Dawei waved and motioned him to come over.

Liu Minghui didn't hesitate and squeezed in with a few people and sat down.

"Brother-in-law, there are so many people here. They must be the projectionists."

Yu Haitang had never seen such a scene before. He pointed ahead excitedly and asked.

Liu Minghui took a look and found that it was Xu Damao. He nodded unconsciously.

"That's right, just sit still, the movie is about to start."

Xu Damao was debugging the machine at this time. As the only projectionist in the steel rolling mill, he should have been very proud, but now he was frowning tightly.

"Why not?"

It turned out that there was a minor problem with the machine and Xu Damao was repairing it.

At this time, Qin Huairu walked over and sat directly on the best stools.

Xu Damao was in a bad mood to begin with, and when he saw Qin Huairu sitting in the seat he had arranged for the leader, he immediately became angry.

He yelled at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, you can't sit there. It's reserved for the leader. Get out of here."

Xu Damao was in a bad mood and his words were very vulgar. Qin Huairu was very angry when she heard that, but she still begged, "Brother Damao, please don't be like this. I have something to ask the leader. Please be flexible."

Qin Huairu spoke in a delicate voice, and Xu Damao shuddered after hearing it.

"Okay, okay, please do as you please, but don't talk to me in that tone."

Xu Damao didn't dare to chat with Qin Huairu in front of others, especially today when Qin Huairu was out of her mind. If he continued to talk, people who didn't understand would think they were having an affair.

Qin Huairu looked very proud when she saw this, but she secretly despised Xu Damao in her heart, especially since Xu Damao had tried to flirt with her before, but now he didn't dare to say a word. Qin Huairu despised him the most.

"The factory director is here."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted. Xu Damao became anxious and quickly assembled the machine to try his luck.

"Phew, fortunately, it's done."

Looking at the picture appearing on the screen, Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the factory director was here, and if something went wrong, it would be a big trouble.

Li Huaide and Director Yang and several others walked to the front row and sat down. Although the two of them had been quarreling fiercely in private, they still appeared to get along well with each other in public and greeted the workers with smiles on their faces.

The movie had already started at this time. Xu Damao was in charge of the projection. While adjusting the machine, he kept talking and explaining to the audience.

Nowadays, movies are all silent, so a projectionist is needed to explain and tell the audience what ideas the movie is trying to express. Therefore, not everyone can become a projectionist.

Although Xu Damao is not a very good person, his professional skills are still very relevant and he can use various words at will. Even the leaders who have seen this movie nodded after listening to it, thinking that Xu Damao is a good person and a good seedling.

Seeing this, Li Huaide asked the person sitting next to him: "This projectionist is pretty good. Old Wang, you have a lot of talented people under you."

The person being asked was Wang Jianhua from the Propaganda Department. When Li Huaide praised him, his face immediately broke into a smile.

"It's all because of your good leadership. We are all working according to your instructions."

Wang Jianhua flattered Li Huaide, and everyone present gave Wang Jianhua a thumbs up in their hearts after hearing it.

As expected of a publicity guy, he comes up with such nice words effortlessly.

Qin Huairu was also sitting nearby, but she had never met so many leaders before, so she felt uneasy. Although she was close to them, her mind was not on the movie. She was trying to find a way to talk to Li Huaide.

"Who is this lesbian?"

Suddenly, Li Huaide saw Qin Huairu and was immediately attracted to her. He was still wondering who this familiar-looking woman was.

"Hello, Deputy Director Li, I'm Qin Huairu from Workshop 1."

Qin Huairu was delighted. She was still thinking about how to start a conversation, but she didn't expect Li Huaide to pay attention to her and introduce herself immediately.

"So it's you. Are you doing well at home now?"

Li Huaide acted as if he suddenly understood something. Although he didn't remember who Qin Huairu was, he couldn't help but think that Qin Huairu was his leader, so he casually asked a question and started a conversation with Qin Huairu.

"Well, I have to just get by. There are five of us in my family, and I'm the only one who depends on us."

Qin Huairu's eyes were filled with tears, and her pretty appearance immediately attracted Li Huaide's attention. He immediately said with a distressed look: "Alas, the workers are not doing well. As the factory director, I am also very sad. I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"

Although Li Huaide said so, he was already planning on Qin Huairu. Looking at Qin Huairu's charming appearance, Li Huaide began to have wild thoughts.

Qin Huairu was secretly delighted when she heard this. In her opinion, Li Huaide seemed very easy to talk to, so she immediately asked in a low voice.

"Working in the workshop is too hard now, and the salary is too low. I don't know if I can change my job."

What Qin Huairu meant was that she wanted to go to logistics. In her opinion, it would be best to work in the cafeteria, so that she would have enough food and drink every day and could also bring some home.

After hearing this, Li Huaide fell into silence. This matter was easy for him, but Li Huaide still needed to investigate further.

"Well, come to my office tomorrow and I'll think about how to arrange it."

Although Qin Huairu felt regretful, she still nodded, as if she had already foreseen the day when she would be transferred out of the workshop.

The conversation between the two did not attract the attention of others. Everyone was concentrating on watching the movie and did not notice the two people's little movements.

"Let's go, go back, it's getting late."

After the movie ended, Liu Minghui stood up and said to a few people.

"Brother-in-law, when will the movie be shown?"

Yu Haitang stood up reluctantly and asked.

Before Liu Minghui could answer, Yu Li said unhappily, "If you don't study well, do you still want to watch a movie?"

Yu Haitang didn't expect to be scolded by her own sister. Her good mood suddenly became bad. She pouted and looked at Yu Li depressedly.

"Sister, can't you think of me better?"

Looking at Yu Haitang's depressed expression, Liu Minghui laughed.

"Let's go, it will be too late."

After saying that, several people hurried back to the courtyard. Yu Haitang did not go back tonight, so she stayed with He Yushui for one night and went to school with He Yushui early the next morning.
