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

Li Bowen asked in surprise, "Really? Then what position did you get promoted to?"

"Don't make a fuss. He's just a deputy factory director, and he's in charge of the logistics department!" Li Huaide replied with a smile.

"How can this be the same? If you become the factory director, wouldn't our lives be better?" Then he stood at attention and shouted to Li Huaide: "Hello, Factory Director!"

"Ah~! Hahaha, okay, okay! Alright, sit down now!"

After sitting down, Li Bowen continued to ask: "Leader, since you have been appointed as the factory director, why are you still only in charge of logistics? Why don't you add another department?"

Li Huaide said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this. You need to stand firm first before you can walk. Other departments have deputy factory directors in charge. I can't just come up and grab their territory! Take your time!"

"Yeah, that's true! First win the hearts of all the workers in the factory, and then expand slowly!" Li Bowen nodded.

"Then tell me how to win people's hearts?" Li Huaide looked at Li Bowen with interest.

Li Bowen smiled and said, "It's easy. Just provide them with what they need the most and lend a hand when they are most helpless!"

"Hahaha, although what you said makes sense, it is quite difficult to do! But we still have plenty of time, we can take it slowly!" Li Huaide still agreed with this statement.

He also thought that he should hold back for now. If he was eager to grab power right after being promoted to deputy factory director, it would disgust people and bring unnecessary trouble. It would not be easy for him to curry favor with the workers in the logistics department he was in charge of!

"So, what do you plan for me to do next, leader?"

"It's mainly about purchasing. You are now the head of Section 4, so you have to take real responsibility. Although the supply of materials is better than in the past two years, it is still tight, especially for meat. So you still have to go to Inner Mongolia and sign as many cooperative communes as possible. This will not only achieve results, but also benefit the employees. But you have to work harder!"

Li Bowen nodded. "No problem. We don't stay there all year round. It's not far from here to Chaokuula. I will start from there and expand outwards. When the supplies to support them are ready, I will go again and try to stay longer and visit more communes."

"Okay, I was right about you. I was worried that you wouldn't want to run back and forth!"

"Look at what you said. As long as you can use me, I will definitely do my best to help you! It won't be a waste of your promotion!"

"Hahaha, that's too formal. We are brothers. Don't worry, I will never treat you unfairly. If anything happens in the factory, I will protect you!" Li Huaide laughed.

This is exactly what he wanted. Li Bowen's inner thought was that he should rely on Li Huaide but not be too deeply involved. Although Li Huaide was very powerful during those ten years, he was still liquidated in the later period. He did not have such a deep background as his, so he should avoid him if possible.

Now, I can go on business trips frequently under this name to avoid the vortex, and when I come back I can just flatter and chat with others without participating in the struggle. Anyway, as long as I have achievements, Li Huaide will definitely protect me, and my life will be absolutely wonderful.

He rested for a while at Li Huaide's place before coming out of his office.

After returning to the office of the Purchasing Department, before I even sat down, Section Chief Gao knocked on the door and walked in: "Bowen, congratulations!"

"Chief, you are so polite! Please take a seat!" Li Bowen quickly stood up and poured tea.

"You are the fastest promoted person I have ever seen in my 20 years of work. It has only been a short time and you have been promoted to section chief!"

Li Bowen returned with the jar and placed it in front of Chief Gao: "No, I joined the steel mill when I was 6 years old, so I have been working there for 7 or years."

"Tsk! How can they be the same? How long have you been in the sales department? Less than a year, and you've been promoted directly from a buyer to a department-level cadre. That's not fast!"

"Hehehe, that's true, it's all thanks to your training!"

Section Chief Gao waved his hands and said, "Don't flatter me. I can't help you in any way. You are the one who has the ability!" After complimenting him, he changed the subject and said, "Section 4 has just been established. If you need any help, just let me know. As a family member, I will definitely support you with all my strength and provide you with the people and connections you need."

Li Bowen couldn't help but feel confused. What was going on? Was he trying to win him over? Could it be that he was promoted to the position of logistics director? This shouldn't be the case. Although Li Huaide was promoted to deputy factory director, he hadn't thought about giving up this position. Wasn't it too early now?

However, he still smiled and replied, "That's great. I don't have any soldiers or generals right now, so I really need your help. Can you transfer a few people from my group to Section 4?"

"That's no problem. You can just go through the formalities and take him away. We are friends!"

Li Bowen was a little uncomfortable with Chief Gao's generosity, but since he agreed, he had to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Chief. I'll treat you tonight. Let's have a drink!"

In the end, until he left, Chief Gao did not say what his purpose was. Was he here for a purpose or was he just trying to show his goodwill? This puzzled Li Bowen, and he could only guess randomly.

When I went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, I saw an announcement of rewards for those on this business trip and an announcement of Li Bowen's appointment posted on the bulletin board at the door.

The most attractive thing was a big-character poster written on red paper, which said that in view of the fact that the logistics department had brought back 8,000 kilograms of beef and mutton from the grassland, the factory decided to organize a dinner to satisfy everyone's cravings, and the time was set for this Saturday.

Almost no one paid attention to those rewards and appointments. The bulletin board for the banquet was crowded with people, and there was constant cheering. Everyone had been thinking about the meat for a long time. When it was transported here, they were all very greedy but didn't know how to eat it. Now it was finally out, and if calculated per person, each person could get more than one kilogram of meat.

But the factory certainly would not eat all the meat at once, this time only 5,000 kilograms were taken out to make mutton soup and meat stuffed buns. The soup was unlimited, but the buns could only be bought by ticket, but even so, the employees were still enthusiastic.

In these days when we only eat meat a few times a year, it is absolutely a delight to be able to drink meat soup and eat meat-filled buns.

When the employees entered the cafeteria, they immediately felt that the steamed bread they were eating today was a little hard to swallow.

Li Bowen looked around with the prepared meal in his hand, and saw Chen Xiaoyun and Sister Shen sitting in a corner. He walked over, sat next to Chen Xiaoyun, and pushed his lunch box to the middle: "Come and eat this, the food you two eat is too plain!"

"Can I be like you? We have four children to raise in our family!" Sister Shen glanced at him, picked up a piece of meat from the lunch box and put it in her mouth.

"Then you should eat more!" He thought for a moment and then asked, "Sister, your eldest child will graduate from high school this year, right?"
