The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"I don't know if Liu Minghui can return the ticket to me. I'll go ask him after get off work."

Liu Haizhong muttered to himself and made up his mind to go to Liu Minghui's house after get off work to ask. Maybe Liu Minghui himself didn't need it, and maybe he could buy a bicycle for it.

"What luck! The steel mill only issues three or four bicycle tickets every year, and they were used to reward Section Chief Liu."

Many people in the workshop were talking about it.

"The factory has it, but it won't happen to us."

A middle-aged man said that he knew very well that even if no one wanted the bicycle ticket, it would only be distributed to the leaders of the steel rolling mill and would never reach his hands.

"After all, not all the leaders in our factory have bicycles."

"That's true. Let's work hard. If we are evaluated as advanced by the end of the year, there might still be hope."

Without mentioning the discussions of the workshop workers, the loudspeaker stopped for a while and then started again.

The previous pause seemed to be just time for everyone to think.

"Zizizi, good afternoon, fellow workers. Now I'm going to report a notice from the factory office. The factory leaders have decided that Comrade Liu Minghui has worked diligently and not afraid of hardship. During his tenure in the Purchasing Department, he has completed various tasks in a timely manner and lived up to the trust of the organization. It has now been decided that Comrade Liu Minghui will serve as the deputy director of the Logistics Department and his rank will be promoted by one level. I hope that in the days to come, Comrade Liu Minghui will continue to work hard to ensure the living security of all workers in the steel rolling mill."

This news caused an uproar in the steel mill. This man was the deputy director and was in charge of the logistics department, which was definitely an important department.

Besides, Liu Minghui is only a few years old. It is very rare to be a deputy director at the age of 25.

How can this not be surprising?

"What was said on the radio just now? I think I heard that Section Chief Liu was promoted to deputy director of logistics."

A worker spoke a little confusedly, thinking he had heard wrongly, and went to ask the person next to him.

"You heard me right. Now we have to call Deputy Director Liu."

The worker next to him answered enthusiastically, but there was also a look of shock on his face.

In the forging workshop, Liu Haizhong, who had been feeling jealous, now showed a look of shock.

"How could this happen? He was promoted to director, and I'm still a team leader."

Liu Haizhong was very helpless, besides, it was Liu Minghui who helped him become the team leader.

Now Liu Minghui has become the deputy director, but he has not made any progress at all.

"Looks like I have to curry favor with Liu Minghui."

Liu Haizhong was thinking about it, and suddenly saw Liu Aiguo's figure, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

After all, he has a good relationship with Liu Minghui, and his cousin is his apprentice.

"Patriotic, come here."

Liu Haizhong shouted at Liu Aiguo.

Liu Aiguo was originally happy for his cousin, but suddenly he heard Liu Haizhong calling him, and he walked over with a puzzled look on his face.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Aiguo and asked with a smile: "Aiguo, how are your skills now? Are you sure you can become a first-class worker this year?"

Liu Haizhong did not talk about Liu Minghui directly, but instead showed concern about Liu Aiguo's work situation.

After hearing this, Liu Aiguo said confidently: "This should be no problem. I can now make first-class workpieces. It's just that the yield rate is a bit low."

Although Liu Aiguo has only been in the factory for half a year, he has made great progress in learning the technology thanks to Liu Haizhong's unreserved teaching.

Liu Haizhong was also very happy when he heard this. After all, teaching a new apprentice was a happy thing for him.

Because steel mills will also give a lot of rewards in this regard.

"You are very good. I will teach you some technical tips next. Don't let me down."

Liu Haizhong decided to teach Liu Aiguo some more skills for Liu Minghui's sake.

Although they had not been kept back before, some aspects would not be taught in full, such as the tricks that Liu Haizhong had figured out after decades of work, which were the foundation for him to become a sixth-level blacksmith.

Liu Aiguo was also very happy when he heard it, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master. I will study hard."

Seeing Liu Aiguo's grateful look, Liu Haizhong nodded slightly, stopped talking about this matter, and instead asked about Liu Minghui.

"Aiguo, I wonder what your relationship with Liu Minghui is like. Why don't you usually visit the courtyard?"

Liu Haizhong tried to find out about their relationship in a roundabout way.

Liu Aiguo didn't know what Liu Haizhong was planning, but he still answered the question honestly.

"Well, Minghui is the son of my second uncle, and we have a very good relationship. But Minghui told me to finish my work first, and there is no rush to visit him."

Liu Haizhong nodded when he heard that. It made sense. Since Liu Minghui was willing to help get the job done, then they must have a good relationship.

"Hey, I've been a team leader for a few years, and I don't know if I can move up."

Liu Haizhong pretended to sigh. Liu Aiguo was not stupid and knew what Liu Haizhong meant. He just hoped that Liu Minghui could help.

"Master, you are not qualified enough to be a team leader. I think you are also qualified to be the workshop director."

Liu Aiguo didn't understand, but still followed Liu Haizhong's words.

Liu Haizhong smiled when he heard this. After all, someone agreed with him, so he immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Then tell me if I go and ask Deputy Director Liu for help, can he give me a push?"

Liu Aiguo frowned when he heard this, thinking that it was no wonder that his bangs couldn't be lifted up, his EQ was too low.

"I don't know about this, but you can go and ask the master. I believe that as long as it is appropriate, Minghui will not refuse to help."

Seeing that his apprentice shared the same opinion, Liu Haizhong was suddenly full of confidence and felt that he should seek Liu Minghui's help. Maybe he could also become the workshop director.

In the kitchen, He Daqing was also complimenting Liu Minghui.

"Congratulations, you are a 25-year-old deputy director. This is truly a first for a steel mill. Maybe you can even become the factory director in the future."

In He Daqing's opinion, Liu Minghui might actually have a chance. As long as he proceeds steadily and with Li Huaide's support, he might be able to become the director of a steel mill in the future.

Liu Minghui shook his head immediately after hearing this. "Don't say that. I'm already very satisfied. I didn't expect this promotion."

That's right, Liu Minghui originally thought that his salary would just increase, but he actually got promoted. This is good, the logistics department is a very busy department. Maybe he won't have time to slack off from now on.

He Daqing was a little speechless when he saw this. He didn't expect that Liu Minghui had no reaction at all to the promotion.

I don’t know if he really doesn’t care or if he had expected it.

"Anyway, congratulations."

He Daqing congratulated Liu Minghui again.
