Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Yang Liming knows Zhao Shanhe too well.

He was the short-distance running champion of the National Games of 1949 and the composer of four marches. He was a man of both literary and martial talents and had long been registered in the department.

If he had not been personally unwilling to leave the steel mill, he would have been transferred to the ministry long ago.

"Madam, I know Comrade Zhao Shanhe well. He won't easily get into conflicts with others. Did Lao Yi do something wrong? That's why he and Zhao Shanhe have a conflict?"

The deaf old lady didn't expect that Zhao Shanhe had such a high status in Yang Liming's heart. She only said that the other party had a conflict with Yi Zhonghai, which made Yang Liming think that it was Old Yi who was causing trouble.

Although this was a difficult topic to respond to, she also had other ways to continue the conversation.

"Limin, Zhonghai and I have lived in the same courtyard for so long, and usually it is the couple who take care of my daily life. I think I know him better than you.

I came here today to ask if you can remove this section chief Zhao Shanhe, so that he won’t show off in the yard all the time. I, the old lady, don’t like him very much.”

Yang Limin thought to himself, you are kidding. I just told a cadre to be removed, and he was removed. Do you think he has no backing?

Besides, Zhao Shanhe is favored by the higher-ups. Why am I causing trouble for him? Don't let the higher-ups remove me if I don't do anything right. Then you will just watch me make trouble?

"Old lady, I can't do anything about this matter. Comrade Zhao Shanhe is a cadre and has a good reputation in the factory. I can't just dismiss him from his position as section chief."

The old lady had old-fashioned ideas and still thought that it was the Republic of China. At that time, even removing a district chief would only take a few words, let alone removing a section chief.

She didn't expect that she would be rejected so easily even though she had risked her reputation to ask Yang Liming to do such a small thing. She rolled her eyes and continued.

"How about changing his position? I see him idling around in the yard every day and not doing any serious work. Why don't you find him a job that's more busy? That way Zhong Hai won't see him and there won't be any conflict between the two of them."

At this time, Yang Liming finally understood that the old lady was deliberately looking for trouble with Zhao Shanhe. However, he owed the old lady his life after all. It was okay to refuse her once, or twice, but if he always refused, it would seem that he had forgotten the grace of saving his life and was not worth trusting.

He lowered his head and thought for a while before replying.

"Old lady, how about this? Since the unplanned purchase tasks of the purchasing department have been stopped, I can let Zhao Shanhe go to other departments. I will find him a department with busy work and many things to do. In this way, you and Yi Zhonghai will not see him.

I am doing this according to your wishes, and if it doesn't work, I can do nothing else."

After hearing Yang Liming's answer, the old lady smiled.

If she was rejected every time, she would lose face. Before liberation, she was not an ordinary person and had a reputation.

After seeing off the deaf old lady, Yang Liming returned to his seat and began to think.

After all, Zhao Shanhe is a serious section chief. It will definitely not work for him to change departments casually. Especially since Li Huaide is standing behind Zhao Shanhe, it will be even more difficult.

However, he has been coveting Zhao Shanhe's purchasing channels for a long time. As the head of the steel rolling mill, how could he not know Li Huaide's purchasing channels? If he could get Zhao Shanhe's channels into his own hands and make Li Huaide's political achievements his own, wouldn't his position be more secure?

Thinking of this, he made a decision and asked his secretary to go and call Zhao Shanhe over directly.

Zhao Shanhe knew nothing about this. After he knocked on the door, entered the room and sat down, Yang Liming began his performance.

"Comrade Zhao Shanhe, is this your first formal conversation in my office?"

Seeing the other party come into the room and pour water and hand over cigarettes reminded Zhao Shanhe of Li Lianjie. It is said that if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. It seems that the other party has some big ambitions.

"Director Yang, please let me know if you have anything to say. I am really flattered by your words."

Zhao Shanhe is not a young man who knows nothing on his first day at work. Ever since he knew that Yang Liming was not an honest official, he couldn't help but become more cautious.

Seeing that Zhao Shanhe spoke so bluntly, Yang Liming didn't want to beat around the bush. He neither mentioned the deaf old lady nor Li Huaide, but went straight to the purchasing channel.

"I heard that you have a way to get fish and meat during the New Year, which means you have a lot of connections. I want your procurement channel. Of course, I won't ask for it for nothing. The work in the procurement department has been difficult recently. I plan to assign some people from this department to other departments. As the deputy director of the procurement department, I can guarantee you that you can choose any department except the factory office."

Yang Liming's move killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he get Zhao Shanhe out of the purchasing department, so that he couldn't be lazy in the yard every day, but he also got the purchasing route and cut off Li Huaide's hands and feet.

Zhao Shanhe was troubled by Yang Limin's words. What was Director Yang going to do? Divert the personnel of the purchasing department? Was he going to start a war against Li Huaide?

But then he thought again, the relationship between the two leaders is still quite harmonious, and it is impossible that there is intrigue caused by fighting for power. Instead, it is more likely that the other party is jealous of Qiao Laoliu's channel.

This makes it difficult for him.

The temptation to just pick a department was too great, and his future in the purchasing department was foreseeable. With Li Lianjie sitting in the position of logistics director, Li Huaide would never let anyone else take this position.

Uncle Yao is not yet 50 years old. It will probably take several years for the wind to blow when he retires. It is hard to say what will happen by then.

Now there is another option to choose from, of course he is tempted, but if this means handing over Qiao Laoliu's connections, not only will he offend Li Huaide, but he will also have nowhere to escape when Li Huaide comes to power in the future.

But Yang Liming is the current top leader. If he were to start a fight with him over this matter, it would be hard to say whether Li Huaide would protect him. This put him in a dilemma.

After hesitating for a moment, an idea came to my mind.

"Director Yang, I do have a way, but the way to deliver fish is basically exhausted now. Everyone knows the situation in Sijiu City. It is really impossible to get anything.

But I have a relative in Tongliao who secretly caught some wild boars and raised them in a pen. If you don't mind, you can send one to the factory every month and tell others that you bought them for the workers' meals. Do you think this is feasible?"

Zhao Shanhe came up with a solution that would have the best of both worlds, with the idea of ​​not offending Li Huaide or Yang Liming.

When Yang Limin heard that there was a wild boar, he said that the fish could be put aside. Who would eat fish when there is pork?

"Then Xiao Zhao, it's settled. When you deliver the pigs, I will transfer you to another job. Have you decided which department you want to work for?"
