Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

There was no room for ambiguity on this matter. Not only Li Huaide, but even Gao Jianshe stared at Li Bowen with serious faces.

Seeing their nervous expressions, Li Bowen couldn't help but become serious. He quickly took out the note written by Director Wang from his bag and handed it over carefully: "It's true. 10 pigs can be exchanged for two tons of steel bars and two tons of cement in our factory, and the other 10 pigs can be exchanged for cash and tickets."

Li Huaide could not wait to grab the note and read it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he handed the note to Section Chief Gao beside him, and excitedly stepped forward and patted Li Bowen on the shoulder, saying excitedly: "Haha, Xiao Li, you are really a capable person in our factory! Just a while ago, you just helped to solve an enemy spy case, and now you have brought us such a big surprise! I will report this good news to the factory director and secretary right away!"

However, Li Bowen quickly waved his hand to stop him and said, "Director, please don't rush to report! I have another important matter to report to you!"

Hearing this, Li Huaide was stunned and asked curiously: "Tell me, what's the matter? As long as you ask, I will do my best to meet your requirements!"

"Director, Section Chief, this is what happened. When my childhood friend and I went to handle this matter, Director Wang from Changling Commune said that his sister doesn't have a job yet and wants to find a less busy job in our factory. I temporarily agreed to the job without your consent. I wonder if this is appropriate?" Li Bowen said, staring at the two people.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Our factory will be recruiting a new batch of workers next year anyway, so just add his sister in. When you go back, talk to Director Wang and see if we can have a long-term cooperation with our factory and supply a batch of live pigs every year!" Li Huaide thought it was a big deal. The cadre establishment was not easy to deal with, but a worker establishment was just a matter of talking.

"I understand, Director. I will talk to Director Wang when I get back. Also..." Li Bowen stammered, looking embarrassed.

Gao Jianshe was anxious when he saw Li Bowen's hesitation: "Hey, just tell me what you want to say. The director will make the decision for you on everything. What are you afraid of?"

"That's right, just say it if you have something to say!" Li Huaide also responded from the side.

Li Bowen then spoke: "My childhood friend has made great efforts in contacting the live pigs and getting the meat today. He is also familiar with the land in his hometown. I want to ask him for a purchasing job so that he can get more things for the factory, but I am afraid of embarrassing the two leaders."

"What's your childhood friend's name?" Li Huaide asked.

"Hu Li! You are 21 this year, the same age as me." Li Bowen was already prepared to be rejected. If Li Huaide did not agree, he would find a way to find someone to sell the work quota to others, and he would have to pay for it to get Hu Li's job.

After all, I had promised Hu Li, and I had to do it no matter what.

"Chief Gao, are you still short of people in your department?" Li Huaide did not answer, but turned to ask Gao Jianshe.

This is actually a disguised way of currying favor with Gao Jianshe, because Li Bowen is now the deputy section chief of the Procurement Section 1. Although he has no subordinates, his rank is there.

If Gao Jianshe agreed, it would be like doing Li Bowen a favor, and their relationship in the department would be better in the future.

After a brief consideration, Gao Jianshe said to Li Huaide: "We do need to add another buyer. Bowen is now the deputy section chief. Although he is still working on the front line this year, he will be responsible for assisting in overall management next year. He can't always go to the countryside."

"Well, then let's give this purchasing task of your department to Xiao Li. Hu Li is also a local of the area that Xiao Li was originally in charge of, so purchasing will be more convenient!" Li Huaide made the decision without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, things went so smoothly that even Li Bowen himself found it hard to believe: "Is it really possible? Thank you, Director, and thank you, Section Chief!"

Li Huaide waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me in a hurry. If you can't get these 20 fat pigs back to me, then there's nothing to talk about. Not only that, I will have to punish you!"

"Don't worry, we've already agreed. Once the steel bars and cement are approved, I'll go there with my truck, bring the pigs back, and raise them in our factory. We'll try to fatten them up in the days before the New Year!"

"Okay, let's go and report to the factory director and secretary together!" After saying that, Li Huaide was the first to walk out of the warehouse, and patted Gao Jianshe on the shoulder: "Old Gao, your department really made me proud this time!"

"Hahaha, it's all thanks to your leadership, Director!" Gao Jianshe did not forget to flatter him.

It was a year of famine, and the rations were reduced again and again. Before the famine, during the New Year, each factory employee could be given three to five kilograms of meat, two kilograms of candy, and some melon seeds and peanuts.

But now, the average meat consumption per capita in the city is less than one kilogram per year. Their steel rolling mill is a key unit and will be taken care of a little, but it is a blessing if the workers can have meat once a month.

With the Chinese New Year just over a month away, Director Yang and Secretary Liu are so worried that they are about to go bald. However, the rations are limited, and each unit gets a share, so the amount left for their steel rolling mill is pitifully small.

During the New Year, we must at least give the workers some kindness, otherwise people will think that their leaders are inactive. But even if each person gets one pound of meat, there are seven or eight thousand people in the factory, which means seven or eight thousand pounds of meat, and at least 4 to 50 pigs will be enough.

As a result, all the people from the purchasing department were sent out, but so far, no good news has been received.

Just when Director Yang was worrying about this, Li Huaide rushed into his office and shouted, "Director, Director, good news!"

Upon hearing this, Director Yang smiled brightly and said, "I love hearing you say there is good news. Tell me as soon as possible so that I can be happy too!"

Li Huaide said excitedly: "Pigs, there are pigs. Our purchasing department has contacted 20 big fat pigs."

Director Yang stood up excitedly and asked anxiously, "Really? Tell me quickly, where are these pigs?"

Li Huaide quickly beckoned Li Bowen to come over, "Come on, Xiao Li, quickly tell the factory manager in detail!"

So, Li Bowen reported to Director Yang in detail how to find these pigs and the conditions proposed by the other party.

After listening to this, Director Yang waved his hand without hesitation and said decisively: "Here, it's just some steel bars and cement! We still have a lot of steel produced outside the plan, so give it to them immediately. There should be some cement in the cement warehouse as well.

Tomorrow, bring the pigs back to me immediately! Director Li, have the convoy load two trucks, and notify the security department to send someone with guns to escort them. "
