Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

When they heard what Deputy Director Li said, they immediately thought of the braised pork, stewed spareribs, and the fragrant rice they had for lunch. Thinking of these delicacies, they all swallowed their saliva. At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten their physical fatigue, and rushed to the truck in a swarm, starting to unload various materials in a hurry.

Although some people were exhausted, they did not complain at all. On the contrary, everyone had a bright smile on their face. They knew what these supplies meant to them. With these foods, they no longer had to eat the hard steamed bread every day.

Looking at everyone busy at work, Deputy Director Li, Director Yang and other leaders smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, Director Yang patted Deputy Director Li on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Li, you've been busy for a long time, let's go have a drink!" Hearing this, Deputy Director Li was also a little moved. After all, he was busy for so long and really needed to relax.

But he suddenly remembered that the payment for the materials had not been settled yet. If he didn't settle the bill on time, it would be troublesome if he couldn't buy the materials in the future. So, he said to Director Yang with a little apology: "Director Yang, you go first, I will go and settle the materials first and come back later."

"Then you go and do your work first. We'll be waiting for you in the cafeteria." After saying this, Director Yang led the other leaders towards the small cafeteria.

After Director Yang and others left, Deputy Director Li reached out and put his arm around Wang Haoran's shoulders, saying with gratitude: "Haoran, thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to buy so many supplies. If you need help with anything in the future, just come to me. Whether it can be done or not, I will do my best to help you."

"Director Li, you are too polite. As you said just now, I am also a member of the factory, and this is just my job." Wang Haoran replied modestly.

Looking at Wang Haoran's calm and composed appearance, Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, let's go settle the bill first. We can't let Brother Cai wait too long. I'll have to trouble you to make a trip later to deliver the payment for the supplies. When you come back, I'll give you a big gift." After saying that, Deputy Director Li revealed a mysterious smile.

Wang Haoran's curiosity was instantly aroused. He stared at Deputy Director Li, eager to know what this so-called gift was.

However, Deputy Director Li ignored Wang Haoran's expectant gaze and walked straight towards the Finance Department. Faced with this scene, Wang Haoran could only shake his head helplessly and then quickened his pace to follow closely.

Not long after, Deputy Director Li brought Wang Haoran to the Finance Department, where Section Chief Hou had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Section Chief Hou, Deputy Director Li took out the material list from his pocket without saying a word and said to him, "Section Chief Hou, please settle the payment for this batch of materials. The price of pork is 1.5 cents higher than the market price, the price of other meats is 1 cent higher, and the price of vegetables is 1 cent higher. Please calculate it as soon as possible, because I have to deliver it to them later."

"Okay, Director Li!" Section Chief Hou agreed readily and then quickly started to settle the accounts.

When Wang Haoran heard this, he was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close. His mind went blank and his heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. He couldn't help but exclaimed in his heart: "You are so greedy! This is not the price I gave you. If I had known, I would have set the price higher."

Deputy Director Li saw Wang Haoran's expression and thought that Wang Haoran had never seen the world, so he smiled disapprovingly. He said earnestly: "It's not a big deal. The factory can still accept this price, and it's not too outrageous. After all, it's hard to get materials now, and it will benefit you later."

Wang Haoran was speechless when he heard this, and he secretly complained in his heart. He stared at Deputy Director Li with wide eyes, his heart bleeding: "Is it because of this? That's all my money! Originally, this money should have been earned by me alone, and now I can only get a small share."

Although he was filled with resentment and annoyance, Wang Haoran still tried hard to control his emotions, forced a smile, and pretended to be calm and said insincerely: "Thank you, Director Li." After saying this, he felt as if his heart was torn in two and he was in great pain.

"It's not a big deal. As long as you follow my lead, you will make a lot of money!" Deputy Director Li promised, patting his chest.

Seeing this, Wang Haoran chose to ignore him, thinking: If I really follow you, I don't know how miserable I will die in the future, it's better to let you come and work with me! Do I need your money? When Wang Haoran thought about giving away his money for free, he felt more depressed and angry. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply took out a cigarette and handed it to Deputy Director Li, then lit one for himself and smoked it slowly.

Not long after, Section Chief Hou ran over in a hurry and said breathlessly: "Director Li, the payment for materials has been calculated. Would you like to count it yourself?" As he said that, he handed over a bag.

Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction, then took out the extra money from the bag and counted it carefully, then took out a few more big unity notes and handed them to Section Chief Hou, smiling and saying, "Well done."

Upon seeing this, Section Chief Hou accepted the money without hesitation, put on a flattering smile and said, "It is my honor to work for you, Director Li. I will do my best." Obviously, they were already accustomed to this kind of thing, and it was not the first time they had done such a thing.

Wang Haoran felt extremely disgusted when he saw Section Chief Hou's attentive attitude.

Deputy Director Li was very pleased with what he said, and he said to Section Chief Hou with satisfaction, "Okay, go and do your thing first."

When Section Chief Hou heard this, he knew that Deputy Director Li might have some things that were not convenient to say in front of him, so he nodded tactfully and said, "Okay, Director, if you need any help, please let me know at any time." Then he left contentedly.

After Section Chief Hou left, Deputy Director Li counted out ten brand new Great Unity banknotes again, and then handed them to Wang Haoran along with other material funds, and said to him, "Haoran, these ten Great Unity banknotes are specially for you. You must maintain your relationship with Brother Cai. As long as we can maintain this good cooperative relationship, then in the future as long as we have materials, we will be able to make a lot of money."

Seeing that Deputy Director Li handed him more money than Section Chief Hou, Wang Haoran's anger suddenly subsided a little, but that was all. Then he pretended to be happy and said to Deputy Director Li: "Director Li, please rest assured, I will take care of this matter. There will be absolutely no problem." After saying that, he took the money and left the office quickly, as if staying for another minute would make him so angry that he would vomit blood.
