Siheyuan: How dare I mess with a man who is an expert in men's health?
Chapter 343 The unexpected person
Throughout the morning, people kept coming to visit Cao Anping, making everyone in the courtyard a little numb.
But there was nothing to be jealous about, because everyone noticed that although everyone came with gifts, they did not leave empty-handed.
In addition, they also went to pay New Year's greetings to Cao Anping, and the gifts they received in return were not at a disadvantage, so it is speculated that Cao Anping did not make much money either.
Otherwise, the gifts received this morning are really unimaginable, and it is hard for people not to have extra thoughts. Some people may even seize the opportunity to report it.
Cao Anping was also speechless. After seeing off Zhan Xiaoli, it was like a floodgate had been opened and people who came to pay New Year's greetings came one after another.
The five families he helped came to his house to pay New Year's greetings and express his gratitude. Although the gifts were a bit humble compared to others, he was still quite pleased. After all, it was quite pleasing to know that the people he helped were grateful.
Several subordinates from the medical department of the steel rolling mill also came to pay New Year's greetings. Among them was Wu Hui, who had been framed. She was quite attentive in her words, hinting that Cao Anping should let her go and that she would work hard in the future and would never cause any trouble.
Cao Anping did not comment on this and returned a gift of equal value to avoid giving her a chance to talk. He just comforted her and told her to wait and see what the result would be.
In addition, there are some patients he treated and some close leaders of the steel mill, and they are all normal personal interactions.
It is worth mentioning that the Zhu Daqiang brothers may not dare to visit without permission, but they wanted to improve their favor, so they actually entrusted someone to visit the house to deliver gifts and greetings.
Cao Anping looked at the pile of gifts on the table, speechless. Even though he cycled the gifts in and out, there were still many left.
The reason is that some return gifts are health-related medicines, or his own supplies. After all, some guests have special identities, so the gifts are naturally more impressive.
Cao Anping drank his tea, pinched his brows, and muttered to himself: "Next year's New Year, I will just go back to the village. This social event is too troublesome."
In fact, he did not deliberately build up any connections. The reason why so many people came was simply because he was worthy of making friends. Otherwise, who would care about a young man like him.
Cao Anping was quite clear-headed about this. During the Chinese New Year in his previous life, many people came to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather, and the good cigarettes and wine in the house needed to be stored in a special room.
Later, his grandfather retired, and the number of people visiting him each year decreased by 90%. It was really like the end of the world. He had already seen the tricks of the trade.
Just as he was about to have lunch, he heard Yan Jiecheng's call again.
Cao Anping was a little surprised. Who was coming again? It was a bit rude. Coming at lunch time was a bit rude in that era.
He hurried out to greet him, and the person he saw was Li Huaide, which really surprised him!
Although they had a good personal relationship, Cao Anping never thought that Li Huaide would come in person. Even if it was a show, he would go to comfort ordinary workers. He had never heard of him visiting subordinate cadres to wish them a happy new year. Isn't this against the will of heaven?
Moreover, half of the households in Yard 95 are employees of the steel mill, so some bad rumors might arise.
This was indeed the case. The people in the courtyard, who had already become numb, were actually not surprised at all about paying New Year's greetings to Cao Anping. After all, they didn't know those people who came.
But most people know Li Huaide, and his level is too high for them. From now on, their understanding of Cao Anping will have to be raised to a higher level.
The neighbors were even secretly glad that they came to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning and broke the ice in the somewhat unfamiliar relationship. Otherwise, if they continued to show goodwill after this morning, it would have seemed like they were currying favor with the powerful.
"Haha...Brother Anping, I heard that you are very busy today. I hope I didn't disturb you?" Li Huaide spoke first and greeted him with a hearty laugh.
Cao Anping glanced at the attentive Yan Jiecheng and knew that it was probably this guy who leaked the information.
Could it be that you want to show off your reputation with the deputy factory director and get a chance to become a regular employee?
You are probably overthinking it. Li Huaide only cares about value. No matter how much you flatter him, he will just treat you as a fool.
Cao Anping's strange thoughts flashed through his mind, but he was too lazy to pay attention to them and quickly called Li Huaide:
"Brother Li, what are you talking about? It's my honor that you are here. How can I say that I am disturbing you? Please come in and have a seat. My house is a little small. I am sorry for the inconvenience."
Li Huaide placed the gift on the table and while Cao Anping was making tea, he looked around the room carefully.
The room was clean and tidy, but it was a little too small, which was not in line with Cao Anping's status as a leading cadre, so he suggested:
"Brother Anping, this room was assigned to you when you first entered the factory, right?
Some of them are too small. You are at the age to get married, and it will definitely not be enough to live in in the future. Now that your status has been raised, it will be no problem for you to apply for two big houses.
There are still houses under the jurisdiction of the steel mill. Do you want to move to a yard? I will help you coordinate it. "
Cao Anping was somewhat tempted, but his broken system was bound to Compound No. 95, so he could only refuse with tears in his eyes:
"I just spent money to renovate this house not long ago. It would be a big loss to move out now. Besides, even if I get married, I can still live here temporarily. I'd better wait until I have a child before applying for a new house."
Cao Anping served the best tea, looked at the gifts on the table, and said with a smile:
"Brother Li, you're carrying too many things. It's embarrassing for me, your brother."
Li Huaide took a sip of tea, his eyes lit up, and after savoring it for a while, he waved his hand and said, "It's not just me who sent these two bags, my father-in-law asked me to send them.
He has recovered very well. If there weren't so many guests at home today, I would have come to thank you in person."
Cao Anping didn't know how much truth there was in these words, but as a deputy minister, it was very nice of him to remember this favor and have such a thought.
He also understood why Li Huaide came to his house. It seemed that he came on behalf of his father-in-law.
Otherwise, based on Cao Anping's understanding of Li Huaide, the other party would not lower himself like this. After all, the usual politeness and flattery were just means. In essence, their status was that of a superior and a subordinate, and was not equal.
Cao Anping knew it very well, and had no objection to it. Instead, he quickly thanked him:
"Thank you so much, Minister Song. I just assisted in the operation. I am so grateful for this."
The gifts have been delivered, so it is hard to refuse them. I can only give something good as a return gift as usual. However, the amount of Dragon Essence and Tiger Meng Pills given out today is a bit too much.
The two chatted for a while, and Cao Anping invited him to lunch. Li Huaide was originally preparing to say goodbye and leave, but when he saw the wine and food Cao Anping took out, he felt hesitant. Even at his father-in-law's house, he could only taste these good things occasionally.
Li Huaide chuckled: "Brother Anping, I won't be polite then..."
The two of them toasted each other and talked a lot, becoming quite close friends.
In the past, people just needed each other and made friends with each other out of courtesy. In fact, it was just a tacit cooperation. Otherwise, why would others value you for no reason.
