Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill, although Lin Donglai was not wearing work clothes like everyone else, the security guard was already familiar with him after having been there several times. After saying hello, he went in by himself.

When we arrived at the purchasing department, Section Chief Su had not yet arrived at his seat. There was only one middle-aged man in his thirties wearing glasses reading a book in the entire department.

When he looked up and saw the person coming, he was not surprised at all, and said casually: "You are looking for Chief Su, right? He hasn't come yet. You sit over here and wait for a while." Then he pointed to a chair next to him.

Lin Donglai didn't think much about it. He sat down on the chair and observed the room. Except for the section chief's office which was separated separately, there were five tables and chairs scattered around in this office.

The other tables and chairs were all filled with things, except for the one near the corner which was covered in dust. It looked like no one had used it for a while. Lin Donglai thought that it was probably his own desk.

As the work bell rang, the four desks in the office were quickly filled with people. Just as Lin Donglai had thought, only the desk in the corner was empty.

Section Chief Su was the last one to arrive at the office. He had arrived at the factory a long time ago, but he just met the canteen director and the two of them had a conversation.

When he saw Lin Donglai, a smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Lin, you are here, you are quite punctual."

Lin Donglai quickly stood up and greeted him: "Good morning, Chief Su. This is my duty. I'm here to report to you."

"Okay, wait for me for a moment. I'll put my things down first and then take you to the Personnel Department to report."

"By the way, everyone, this is Lin Donglai whom I told you about. He is the new buyer of our Third Purchasing Department. Please welcome him."

When several people heard Section Chief Su's introduction, they all looked up at the same time and then applauded, looking very happy.

The middle-aged man with glasses was the most enthusiastic. He stepped forward, stretched out his hands, shook Lin Donglai's right hand, and said excitedly: "You are Lin Donglai. We have finally waited for you to come. It's great."

It's no wonder that they are so excited. The factory assigns a lot of tasks to their Third Purchasing Department every month, and the department divides the tasks among each person according to the region.

The old colleague has retired, and this person's job is mainly to be responsible for the ingredients of the canteen, so this task has to be shared among everyone. This is not an familiar scope of work, so of course it is very unpleasant to do.

The so-called small canteen is actually a place in the steel rolling mill that is specifically responsible for providing special meals for leaders and entertaining superiors or guests.

If Section Chief Su had not stepped up to take charge during this period, the ingredients for the small canteen would not have been purchased and the task would not have been completed. According to factory regulations, everyone in the section would have their wages deducted.

Due to the special nature of the work of the Purchasing Department, everyone would basically run around outside as needed after reporting in in the morning, so Lin Donglai went to the Purchasing Department several times but never met these people.

It was only yesterday before get off work ended that the department held a meeting and everyone learned that new workers would join to replace the retiring old colleagues, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Donglai was a little caught off guard by the enthusiasm of the man with glasses. He struggled to free himself from his hand and said, "Yes, my name is Lin Donglai. What's your name, big brother?"

"Look at my poor memory. I forgot to ask you to introduce yourselves. Please say hello to each of you and get to know each other." Section Chief Su arranged.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man with glasses spoke first: "I'll go first. My name is Li Rongfeng, and I have been working as a purchaser in the factory for more than ten years."

Lin Donglai didn't expect that this man, who was so anxious to do things, could stay in this position for so long. He was somewhat impressed: it turned out that he was not a simple person.

The other three people also rushed to introduce themselves, and Lin Donglai finally understood that the department he was in belonged to the third department. It seemed that the rumor was true, the steel mill really had three purchasing departments.

The third purchasing department was specifically responsible for going to the countryside to collect supplies for the factory, exchanging cash and various tickets for scarce ingredients such as eggs and game from the villagers.

It was a difficult time, and supplies were in severe shortage. In-demand items like meat and fish were sometimes not available even with money.

The wild boars, fish and rabbits delivered by Lin Donglai during this period directly enabled the entire Third Purchasing Department to complete the target for the entire month. Everyone was very grateful to Lin Donglai and naturally enthusiastic.

After everyone introduced themselves, Section Chief Su said, "Xiao Lin, let's go to the Personnel Office to get on board first, and then I'll take you around the factory to get familiar with it."

The two of them arrived at the Personnel Department one after the other. The person in charge of onboarding was a woman in her forties. When she learned that Lin Donglai was the one who caught the wild boar and sent it to the factory some time ago, she became very warm.

I quickly found the files and introduction letter I had obtained from the street office, and after he filled in his personal information on the registration form, I told him, "Your internship salary is 27.5 yuan, and your regular salary is 42 yuan. As for the probation period, it is usually three months, except for special circumstances."

Then he handed him a set of work clothes and a work badge and said, "Xiao Lin, welcome to join us. We need to get more meat for the factory in the future."

Lin Donglai was a little nervous at first, but he relaxed after hearing what his elder sister said. He smiled and replied, "Sister, I will listen to you and work hard in the future."

After leaving the Personnel Department, Section Chief Su led Lin Donglai to the factory director's office. After knocking on the door, a voice came from inside: "Come in."

Section Chief Su pushed the door open and walked in. Lin Donglai followed behind him. He saw Director Yang at a glance. He was wearing glasses and looked the same as in the TV series. He looked up and smiled when he saw the two people coming in: "Old Su, is this the young man you mentioned?"

Section Chief Su also smiled and said, "That's right, Director Yang, the young man is here to report today. I'll bring him over to say hello to you first."

Director Yang stood up and shook hands with Lin Donglai, saying, "Are you Lin Donglai? You are a tall and energetic young man. Old Su has good taste. No wonder he doesn't like the people assigned by the factory."

Lin Donglai knew that he had to make a good first impression on his boss. He replied, "Director Yang, I'm Lin Donglai. Today is my first day in the purchasing department. I will work hard to get more supplies for the factory."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang smiled even more and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Good comrade!"

"Director Yang, you misunderstood me. Just like I told you before, Xiaolin is not only good-looking, but also capable. We need such talents in our department."

Section Chief Su said at the right time, causing Director Yang to burst into laughter...

After leaving the factory director's office, Section Chief Su took Lin Donglai around the factory, explained the divisions of the various areas in the factory, and let him familiarize himself with the environment.

I have to say, everyone knows that a steel rolling mill is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees and its area is not small, but when you are actually inside it, you will find that it can only be described in one big word.

Lin Donglai carefully memorized every place Chief Su pointed out. After all, it would be embarrassing to tell others about getting lost in the factory.

After a while, Section Chief Su stopped and pointed to the side and said, "This is the cafeteria. Let's go and take a look."
