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

Inside the steel rolling mill, the purchasing department's office was peaceful and quiet.

But when Wang Haoran stepped into the purchasing department, he saw Lin Yong was as uneasy as an ant on hot pan.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you? Do you have hemorrhoids on your butt or something?" Wang Haoran asked the anxious Lin Yong with curiosity on his face.

When Lin Yong heard this, he was immediately furious: "You have hemorrhoids! Your whole family has hemorrhoids!"

Seeing this, Wang Haoran quickly smiled and said, "Hey, don't be angry, Brother Lin. What happened to make you so anxious and angry? Tell me, I promise to help you vent your anger!"

Lin Yong glared at Wang Haoran fiercely and said unhappily: "Besides you, who else can provoke me?"

"What the hell? Me? Brother Lin, don't accuse a good person! I just got here and haven't even had time to drink saliva, so how can I have the time to provoke you?" Wang Haoran showed an innocent and aggrieved expression.

"Then why did you come so late and arrive on time?" Lin Yong asked puzzledly.

"I'm not late! It's just the normal working time! Besides, I finished my tasks for this month yesterday, so there's no rush at all~" Wang Haoran curled his lips and answered nonchalantly.

However, at this moment, Lin Yong was already feeling very aggrieved: "You were indeed not late, but the section chief just said that the factory director wanted to see you, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of you, so he got angry and scolded me severely... Am I not aggrieved!!!" After saying these words, Lin Yong felt that he was about to collapse.

"Brother Lin, have a cigarette, have a cigarette." Seeing that Lin Yong had taken the blame for him, Wang Haoran became anxious and quickly took out a pack of unopened cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.

Lin Yong took a look and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, but he still took the cigarette and said, "This is more like it."

Wang Haoran looked at Lin Yong's expression, feeling a little uneasy. He hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Um...Brother Lin, can I leave now?"

"Go, go." Lin Yong waved his hand, but his eyes never left the pack of cigarettes.

After getting permission, Wang Haoran turned around and left as if relieved. However, at this moment, Lin Yong, who stayed in the same place, no longer looked aggrieved.

He was seen smoking leisurely, with a smug smile on his face. If Wang Haoran saw this, he would probably suspect that Lin Yong had deliberately pretended to be pitiful just to cheat him out of his cigarettes.

dong... dong... dong...

Wang Haoran stood in front of the factory director's office and knocked gently on the door.

A voice came from inside: "Come in."

Wang Haoran gently pushed the door open and walked into the room, calling out respectfully, "Uncle Yang."

When Director Yang saw Wang Haoran, he immediately smiled cordially and said, "Haoran, come and sit here and have a cup of tea to moisten your mouth." Then he personally poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran was flattered and took the teacup. After taking a sip, he said, "Thank you, Uncle Yang. I wonder what you want me to do?"

"Isn't this the reward you received for purchasing supplies yesterday? Our factory is planning to upgrade your level to level six clerk, with a monthly salary of forty-five yuan. In addition, I will personally reward you with an extra watch ticket. What do you think?" Director Yang asked with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Yang! I have no objection to this arrangement." Wang Haoran thought to himself. Although he didn't care much about the money, it was always a good thing to get a promotion.

Moreover, I had already received a watch ticket when I signed in this morning, and now I have one more, which I can keep for emergency use.

Seeing Wang Haoran's calm reaction, Director Yang felt relieved. He took out a ticket from the drawer, handed it to Wang Haoran, and said, "This is the watch ticket. Keep it well."

"Thank you, Uncle Yang. You go ahead and do your work. I won't bother you any more." After taking the ticket, Wang Haoran said goodbye to Director Yang.

"Well, okay, if you need any help, you can come to me anytime." Director Yang responded.

"I got it, Uncle Yang." As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Haoran turned and left, holding the precious watch ticket tightly in his hand, and walked towards the purchasing department.

"What reward did you get?" Seeing Wang Haoran coming back, Lin Yong walked up to him with curiosity on his face and asked.

"Nothing special, just a watch ticket and a promotion to level six clerk." Wang Haoran replied calmly.

Hearing this, Lin Yong's jaw almost dropped, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg in. "What do you mean by 'only'? I still don't have a watch ticket, which is such a scarce commodity! Then... then how about..."

As Lin Yong spoke, he rubbed his hands subconsciously, with an expectant look on his face.

However, before he could finish his words, Wang Haoran seemed to see through his thoughts and interrupted him without hesitation: "Stop! Don't think about it! If you continue, it will hurt our feelings!"

Lin Yong suddenly felt a little depressed, and complained, "No, you don't even know what I'm going to say, why did you just reject me so straightforwardly?"

He muttered to himself, thinking that based on their relationship, he might be able to get some benefits from Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran just laughed and didn't explain.

Seeing this, Lin Yong also realized that there was no hope, so he stopped talking. In fact, he was just testing the waters, and didn't really expect Wang Haoran to give up the good stuff.

However, seeing Wang Haoran's smug look, he couldn't help but stare at him with a resentful look.

Wang Haoran completely ignored Lin Yong's gaze and smoked leisurely, as if he didn't care at all.

Soon, a voice came from the factory radio.

"Notice, notice, Comrade Wang Haoran from the Purchasing Department has worked hard, respected his leaders, and loved his comrades since he joined the factory. He has purchased a large amount of supplies for the factory."

"With the approval of the Steel Mill Committee, Comrade Wang Haoran is promoted to Level 6 Clerk."

··········

The broadcast will be announced three times in succession.

The entire steel mill was in an uproar.

"This bastard has only been here for a few days and his salary has already been raised." Liu Haizhong was stunned when he heard the voice on the broadcast.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu with a look of disappointment. Jia Dongxu had been in the factory for several years, but he was slacking off every day. He only got promoted to a second-level worker through connections, otherwise he would still be a first-level worker. Isn't this a slap in his own face?

"Dongxu, study hard and try to pass level three next time." Yi Zhonghai said earnestly.

"Okay, Master." Jia Dongxu replied. As for what he was thinking, he knew it himself.

"What the hell! This beast can get a promotion." Sha Zhu's face was full of indignation.

"Shazhu, you are just envious! He is earning 45 yuan a month now, which is much higher than yours." Liu Lan teased as she looked at Shazhu.

The rest of the people in the cafeteria watched silently without saying anything. After all, Sha Zhu had skills and Liu Lan had a backer, so no one could afford to offend them and could only stand aside and watch the show.

"So what if I'm 45? When I take the Level 6 exam someday, my salary will still go up." Sha Zhu said disdainfully.

The highest rank a chef in a steel rolling mill can be approved as is that of a level six cook. Any higher rank must be reported to a higher level, and the factory has no right to approve it. However, Sha Zhu started working without taking any exams, and offended many people. He has been an level eight cook all his life, and with the extra allowance of an acting team leader, his salary is only 37.5 yuan.

"Just urge him. Even if you pass the exam, you may not be promoted." Liu Lan knew Sha Zhu's situation well and said it directly without any hesitation.
