As you wish, start from the Siheyuan

Chapter 16: I am an idler

Due to the system upgrade, I can only sleep peacefully. It happened to be quite busy during the day and I didn’t sleep much. Now I am so sleepy.

I slept till dawn and felt refreshed.

Why do you feel like something is missing?

I looked at my hands, then lifted the quilt and took another look inside.

Hmm? Oh, I haven't signed in today.

system?

……

Your uncle!

I changed into clean clothes, shaved, went out and passed by the central courtyard, where I saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door looking towards Sha Zhu's house.

I was delighted. What was I looking at? She was He Daqing's daughter-in-law.

"Good morning, fake auntie! Here..."

I took out a piece of cake from my space ring and threw it to Jia Zhang without waiting for her to reply, then I walked straight across the central courtyard.

I thought to myself, let’s do good deeds without leaving our names.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 points of wish power."

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.

I went out, ate some fried dough sticks at an open-air shop on the street, drank two bowls of soy milk, and then strolled to the steel rolling mill.

I walked along several streets and crossed several intersections. Most of the people I saw were walking, like me. There were occasionally a few people riding bicycles, and very rarely there were handsome guys with girls, who attracted many people's attention and a group of people saluted me.

What a lovely era.

When I walked to the gate of the steel plant, many people were already walking in. Several people from the security department were standing at the gate. They all looked energetic. Some of them were especially standing very straight, as if they were welcoming a leader's inspection, except for their mouths that were almost grinning to their ears.

I looked at the sign above the door again: "Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

"Comrade, my name is Fang Fa. I'm new here. Here's my letter of introduction."

I took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the security comrade closest to me.

"Chief Li, someone's reporting in."

The tall and thin comrade handed the letter of introduction to a short and strong section chief comrade in the gatehouse.

"Welcome Comrade Fang to our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Li Bo, quickly take Comrade Fang to report. Remember to go to Director Yang first."

Section Chief Li walked up to me with a smile, and then instructed the tall and thin man beside him.

"Oh! Then I'll trouble Chief Li and the security department. We're new here, so please take the cigarettes. Don't be polite."

When I heard Section Chief Li being so responsible towards me, I quickly took out a box of red Huabiao cigarettes from my pocket and handed it to him.

When Section Chief Li saw that it was a good cigarette, his eyes lit up and he didn't refuse it too much.

The registration procedures were completed quickly. Director Yang personally gave me some encouragement and asked the Human Resources Department to come and take me to complete the procedures.

After completing the formalities, I found out that I was assigned to the Purchasing Department as a clerk with a salary of 25.5.

When I arrived at the Purchasing Department, I was a little confused. There was a section chief who was about to retire and his name was Zhong. He wore thick glasses. There was a deputy section chief who was named Ren and was also an old man. There were five middle-aged clerks.

Section Chief Zhong and Director Ren were playing chess with a smile on their faces. When they got angry, they cursed the old man. They looked a bit decadent no matter how you looked at them.

What about the intrigues I was thinking about? Are there any unspoken rules in the workplace? …

My arrival caused quite a stir. Even those two bad chess players put down their chess pieces for the first time and greeted me. The clerk, Brother Zhang, was quite cheerful. He showed me around and introduced me to the group.

Brother Zhang told me that people have not had enough food to eat in recent years. The steel mill can’t get meat more than twice a month, and other supplies cannot be purchased. They only eat potatoes and radishes every day. If the situation improves, they can get some cabbage.

So the purchasing department could no longer survive. Some of the staff were transferred away, the tasks were not completed, and the workers as a whole scolded them. Even the young people couldn't stay.

"Comrade Xiao Fang, you won't be unable to bear it and leave by then, right?" Brother Zhang looked at me with a smile.

"No, Brother Zhang, I will think of a way for you. Don't worry, this is the urgent wish of the 2000 employees of the steel rolling mill and tens of thousands of their families. Even if it costs me my life, I will do it for our employees and their families!

Brother Zhang, please help me find someone to register the types and quantities. I will go find the section chief later and ask for leave to find a solution. "

I made a solemn promise to Brother Zhang. Brother Zhang looked at me strangely, and several other clerks in the office also stared at me blankly.

"Comrade Xiao Fang, can you really get things done? Here I have this month's canteen material demand application form, which has been signed by canteen Director Wang. In fact, there are still a stack of them. Director Wang likes to point at my nose and scold me every day. Can you take a look?" Clerk Wang at the side showed me a form.

"The canteen material purchase application form for October: pork: 10 catties, green onions: 5000 catties, soybeans: 500 catties, ..."

As I was watching, I heard footsteps outside the door. The man who came in was slightly fat and bald. He pointed at clerk Wang's nose and shouted, "Wang Kaixuan, are you playing with your uncle all day and night? I asked you to buy some pork, but you put it off until tomorrow, and then put it off until next month. If you can't get it done today, I'm telling you, don't even think about working here anymore. Get out of the workshop."

"Uncle, no, Director Wang, you know, we are tightening our belts now to pay off our debt to Big Brother Polar Bear, and the quota is getting smaller and smaller. Please understand me...!"

Wang Kaixuan tried hard to persuade Director Wang from the cafeteria, and then the two of them walked out while talking. Director Wang even glanced at the section chief's office before leaving.

I waited until they left and then glanced at Brother Zhang.

"Xiao Fang, this uncle and nephew are playing the empty city trick here. It seems that Wang Kaixuan can't be kept here! Hey! When the years were good, Director Wang also tried his best to let Wang Kaixuan come in."

Brother Zhang told me quietly, hesitantly.

I was silent for a while, then nodded. Everyone has their own fate. Anyway, I have said everything I should say. Whether you believe it or not, it depends on your luck.

"Chief, I need a leave."

I asked for instructions from Section Chief Zhong who was playing chess.

"Comrade Xiao Fang, I have to say something to you. You asked for leave on your first day at work. What's the matter? Do you look down on us?" Section Chief Zhong took the cannon and threw it quickly at the chessboard, and the chessboard became messy in an instant.

"Old Zhong, you're cheating again. I'm about to checkmate you. It's all set. I remember it." Director Ren was anxious to save the game.

I saw it all, but I quickly explained, "Chief Zhong, Director Ren, I'm trying to find a connection to purchase supplies. Nothing can fall from the sky in the factory, right?"

"Oh, I said Comrade Xiao Fang is the future star of our department. Young man, you should think of more solutions. There are always more solutions than difficulties!

Go ahead, I've given you special permission. As long as you can get the supplies, come to me if you need anything. But you need to discuss the price with the factory manager."

Chief Zhong drank his tea calmly and gave me important instructions.
