The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Ever since Liu Minghui became the deputy factory director, Xu Damao has been trying hard to get closer to him.

To the outside world, he acted like Liu Minghui's confidant.

In addition, Liu Minghui was eloquent and could liven up the atmosphere at the dinner table, so he did not show any intention of refusing.

This is considered as tacit acknowledgement of Xu Damao's status.

Although Xu Damao became a deputy section chief, he was essentially still a worker, so his salary at the steel mill remained the same as before, except that he received a few more dollars in subsidies.

This is the subsidy given after work-for-work.

The normal salary for a deputy section-level official is at least 80 yuan, but Xu Damao still receives 37.5 yuan, plus a few yuan in subsidies.

Although he had a few more projectionist apprentices under him, Xu Damao still occupied the position of the steel mill's number one projectionist.

Some people in the steel rolling mill spread bad words about Xu Damao, saying that he did not teach his subordinates skills and only taught them some very basic operations, while the more advanced techniques were still hidden.

Moreover, Xu Damao would make some adjustments to the work in the countryside. As the journey was long, he handed over all the work to his apprentices and never went there himself.

This also caused Xu Damao to be unpopular in the projection department.

Liu Minghui was thinking about Xu Damao's matter, while Li Tiancheng answered Liu Minghui's question.

"Well, our director said something about streamlining the staff, but we hired too many workers this year."

When Liu Minghui heard this, he thought that it was indeed true. It was not long after the Chinese New Year, and it was the time when factories were recruiting workers.

Li Tiancheng was fired not for any other reason but because he was a temporary worker and did not have a stable job, so people felt that they could do without him.

"In that case, your workshop director is not wrong."

Liu Minghui nodded.

"Brother Minghui, you have to help my Tiancheng."

Qin Huairu begged Liu Minghui anxiously. If everyone hadn't been sitting quietly, Qin Huairu would have kneeled down to beg him.

"Ahem, sister-in-law, don't worry."

Liu Minghui looked at Qin Huairu's anxious and hurried appearance. Although he called her sister-in-law, he always felt something was strange.

Because Liu Minghui always called the other party "Sister-in-law of the Jia family" in the past, but now that Li Tiancheng is in front of him, he can't call her that. But if he changes it to "Sister-in-law of the Li family", then maybe Li Tiancheng will be happy, but if Jia Zhangshi finds out, she will definitely find him and fight him to the death.

"Ahem, let's do this."

Liu Minghui stopped thinking about it, calmed down, and said to the two of them: "Why don't you consider going back to the steel mill as an apprentice."

Liu Minghui gave the other party a suggestion. This method was the easiest. After all, Li Tiancheng had the skills, and as long as he had no criminal record, the steel mill would not refuse.

"What, apprentice, how can this be possible?"

Before Liu Minghui finished speaking, Qin Huairu spoke out in dissatisfaction.

"Why, what do you think, sister-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Minghui turned to Qin Huairu and asked.

"This apprentice's salary is only 18 yuan, and Tiancheng is now a third-level worker. How can it be possible to reduce his salary by half for no reason?"

Qin Huairu said this very dissatisfiedly.

Li Tianben originally wanted to agree, but Qin Huairu had already said it, so he stopped talking and decided to see what Liu Minghui would say.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui said speechlessly, "This is my only solution. If you don't accept it, then I don't have any other solution."

Liu Minghui's face turned cold. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to refuse.

Logically speaking, as long as you can get a formal job, it doesn't matter if the salary is temporarily lower.

After all, it keeps growing for a lifetime, so it’s not like it won’t grow back in the future, right?

"You guys go find someone else. I'm just giving you some advice. I'm a logistics guy, so I can't take care of your production matters."

Liu Minghui immediately chased them away. He had no intention of paying any attention to them in the first place, but since the other party had been waiting at the door for so long, it would be embarrassing if he just refused.

This gave her a slight idea, but who knew Qin Huairu was still so short-sighted.

I can't see that this is the best solution.

Because if Li Tiancheng wanted to work in the steel mill, he only needed to wait for the recruitment time. It didn't cost any money and he might not even have to wait for long.

After registering with the street office, you may be able to find a new job quickly.

However, Qin Huairu really couldn't see the benefits of this and only cared about short-term interests.

Important positions can be inherited, especially formal employees, who are known as iron rice bowls for the next few decades.

As long as you are a regular worker in the factory, it means that you have the ability to support a family and you don’t have to worry about getting married. There will naturally be matchmakers to propose marriage to you.

You will also be able to get a house because the factory will allocate one to you. These are obvious benefits.

"Huai Ru, what are you talking about? Deputy Director Liu's opinion is very good."

Li Tiancheng was not as short-sighted as Qin Huairu. Seeing Liu Minghui's ugly face, he immediately stopped Qin Huairu who wanted to continue speaking.

Then he turned to look at Liu Minghui worriedly and asked, "I don't know what I should do to get back to work in the steel mill as soon as possible?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Minghui said unhappily, "Why don't you go there when the steel mill starts recruiting workers?"

"How long do we have to wait?"

"Then how do I know?"

Faced with Qin Huairu's dissatisfaction, Liu Minghui looked even more unhappy.

"You're the deputy factory director, but you don't even know this."

Qin Huairu didn't know if it was because she was under too much pressure, so she started yelling.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui didn't show any good face to the other party. He pointed directly in the direction of the gate and said, "Well, I'm just a small deputy factory director. My family is small and it's not worth your visit. Please go in."

Liu Minghui immediately drove the person away, and had a very bad impression of Qin Huairu.

Seeing this, Li Tiancheng, who was standing by, wanted to say something anxiously, but was stopped by Liu Minghui.

In Liu Minghui's opinion, both of them are of the same character, so there is no need for one to be the good guy and the other to be the bad guy. He doesn't buy it.

In the end, Li Tiancheng could only leave with Qin Huairu in shame. When they left, they could still see Yan Bugui looking at them secretly.

When he saw someone coming out, Yan Bugui immediately turned his head away, as if he saw nothing.

"Who is it?"

In the room, Liu Minghui muttered silently.

He wondered if he gave people the impression that he was too harmless. He never lost his temper in the courtyard, giving people the impression that he, Liu Minghui, would never get angry.

"What's wrong with you? Aren't you asking for help?"

After leaving Liu's house and on the way back to the central courtyard, Li Tiancheng scolded Qin Huairu in a bad mood.

Qin Huairu heard this and said with a wronged look on her face, "I don't want to do this either, but as an apprentice, I'm at a disadvantage compared to your current salary."

"You, you."

Li Tiancheng couldn't say anything because he also felt it was not very good, but he felt that no matter how dissatisfied Qin Huairu was, she could not lose her temper in front of Liu Minghui.

"Why, do you think I can handle it?"

Seeing this, Qin Huairu looked at Li Tiancheng with dissatisfaction.

It seemed that as long as he nodded, a quarrel would break out.

"No, forget it, let's go back and think of a solution."
