Siheyuan, a primordial wonderland

Listening to the beautiful voice of the announcer on the radio, I didn't care about other people or other workshop departments' reactions...

As far as the purchasing department is concerned, it is already silent at this time!

The Procurement Department has experienced so much during this period of time.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Just say that Chen Ping was fine a month ago, purchasing various supplies on time every day...

The purchased materials not only left a good impression on Chen Ping among all the leaders above.

It also reduced the work pressure of all people in the purchasing department.

After all, where can ordinary people get the materials that Chen Ping purchased?

Chicken, duck, fish, meat, and all kinds of wild game from the mountains, are those things that ordinary people can get?

It's hard to do at normal times, let alone now that it's a year of famine...

Although this is only the first year of famine, the things that should be reflected have already begun to take shape.

Let’s not talk about anything else. In the past, when the old buyers from the purchasing department went to the countryside to purchase, no matter how poor they were, they could still buy some chickens, ducks, and the like…

Even though it’s not much, it’s still meat!

And when you go shopping, they have to treat you to a meal.

But now?

When I went to those familiar places to purchase things, not only did they not have anything to sell to me, they even told me not to even think about eating.

Being able to drink boiled water means people are polite.

What is the most important thing in a famine year?

Of course it is water, because as long as there is water, the Chinese people can naturally grow enough food to fill their stomachs with their hard work.

But since Chen Ping hadn't appeared in the purchasing department for a month, things had completely turned around...

If we say that when Chen Ping was in the purchasing department, everyone lived a wealthy life...

Well, since Chen Ping has not been working in the purchasing department for a month and has not purchased anything, their lives are even poorer than poverty!

This is not just talk. Just from the past period of time, they have become a little numb.

It was fine at the beginning, but as time got closer to the Chinese New Year, all the supplies became more and more difficult to purchase!

After all, they are going to save it for eating during the New Year. If you go to purchase it, where will they sell you any extra?

Unless you really need money to buy something, they will sell some of their food to you.

But that is only a small part. In front of a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, what can this thing do?

But this issue has not been resolved yet before the finished product!

The head of the purchasing department was actually transferred away. According to some rumors, the head of the purchasing department was directly laid off.

Transferred to another factory...

oh well...

As a result, the entire purchasing department was in a state of disarray.

Although the deputy section chief issues some procurement tasks every day.

However, compared to the strong background and ability of the head of the purchasing department, their tasks in the past were lighter. After all, most of them were shared by the head of the purchasing department.

But once the head of the purchasing department left, the deputy head had no strong backing, so their lives have been in dire straits during this period of time!

Their superiors asked them to purchase the supplies as soon as possible, and their colleagues at the lower level also urged them to buy some meat when they met them. After all, it was New Year's Day and everyone wanted to have a good meal.

But the people in the purchasing department also feel helpless!

Do they not want to purchase?

It’s impossible to purchase it!

And what is the purchasing fund stipulated by the factory, how much is one item?

They keep records of everything, so you can't bargain.

Because once you bargain, you have to pay the extra money yourself.

We all work to earn money to support our families. It’s not easy to put money into the family, so why would we take money out?

Things have reached a dead end here...

The morale of the procurement department has been low these days, and some people have even started to give up.

After arriving at the purchasing department, I signed a card and just lay there all day, and went home on time after get off work!

When some well-connected purchasing staff saw this scene, they knew that it would be difficult for them to work in the purchasing department in the future, so they all used their connections and gave gifts to get transferred out of the purchasing department!

Those who don't have a backer, such as Chen Ping's apprentice Xia Jie and other young men, because they don't have a strong backer and no connections, so they can only rest in the procurement department and spend their days...

At this time, in the purchasing department, there was also a group of people gathered here...

"Hey, Xia Jie, did you hear what was said on the radio just now?"

"I heard it. Xia Jie still looked incredulous when he answered this.

But I still said it.”

"Chen Ping, isn't that your master?"

Xia Jie was also somewhat shocked when he heard this...

"If there is no second Chen Ping in our purchasing department, then it should be my master..."

After hearing what Xia Jie said, his friends all became excited!

Why are Xia Jie and his friends so excited?

The legend of Chen Ping had long been circulating in the purchasing department. During this period they were unable to purchase any supplies and could only do small things.

Occasionally, when we purchase something, it will attract the attention of the entire purchasing department.

This also made them feel helpless. In the past, the little things they purchased would not attract any attention, and no one would pick them up if they were thrown on the ground...

But it’s different now. The leaders above are urging them to purchase supplies quickly, and their fellow workers below are also urging them to purchase supplies when they see them!

But there is nothing they can do!

Now I suddenly heard that the legendary figure in the purchasing department, Chen Ping, had been promoted!

That would prove that Chen Ping was back, so wouldn't it be easier for him and his team to complete their future tasks?

Among the people in the purchasing department, some knew Chen Ping, while others did not. However, they all knew Chen Ping's name...

"Haha, Xia Jie, your master will be the head of the purchasing department from now on, you have to protect us!"

When Xia Jie heard this, his originally cheerful mood suddenly became serious.

"Haha, don't worry, as long as we complete the task on time, I promise nothing will happen."

What Xia Jie said felt like he had said nothing. After all, as long as the task was completed, who would target you?

However, everyone is so happy now that they naturally won’t think carefully about the loopholes in these words.

At this time, Xia Jie was also a little shocked. He had worshipped Chen Ping as his master just because he expected Chen Ping to help him in the future.

Let him complete more tasks and he will not be fired by the steel mill for failing to complete procurement tasks!

But now?

My master hasn't been to the factory for a month, and I don't know what he has been doing?

After a month, when I came back, I was promoted to the head of the purchasing department. It was shocking just to think about it...
