Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

During the three-day Chinese New Year holiday, Wang Jianjun did nothing but drive his two daughters around Hong Kong.

The holiday is over and everyone returns to work painfully.

Wang Jianjun was also called back by Director Wang.

Shen Chuxia hasn't started classes yet, so the business in Hong Kong is temporarily taken over by the second daughter.

Wang Jianjun returned to the factory not for any purchasing tasks.

Instead, the steel rolling mill began to expand its recruitment, and as the newly appointed head of Purchasing Group 3, he was pulled into a brief meeting by Director Wang.

After receiving funding from Loubancheng last year, the steel rolling mill immediately stepped up its expansion efforts.

The new factory is scheduled to be completed before the end of the year.

The steel rolling mill announced the recruitment notice before the New Year.

The clerk from the street office also came down to inform us about this matter.

The steel rolling mill plans to recruit 2,000 more people this time.

Of course, only five or six hundred of these two thousand people are external recruits.

The rest were recommended through connections.

Among them was Yan Bugui’s son Yan Jiecheng.

Wang Jianjun, the newly appointed head of the purchasing team, will have to lead some new people.

Just like when Zhao Fei helped him get familiar with the work.

There were a total of ten people in his three groups including himself. Director Wang gave him a list and asked him to pick two new people from it.

Wang Jianjun only took a quick glance at the list and was attracted by a name on it.

Malaysian Chinese.

Isn’t this Shazhu’s apprentice?

I don't know if they have the same name or surname.

This kid has been studying cooking for many years, but he hasn't learned any skills like frying, stir-frying, braising, stewing, etc., but he has learned loyalty.

He really had nothing to say about Sha Zhu.

He didn't know whether Sha Zhu taught him cooking or not.

But when Shazhu was in trouble, Ma Hua gave him money without saying a word.

If it's this kid, then he can be won over to our side.

"Director, what's going on with this kid?"

Director Wang glanced at Ma Hua's name and said:

"You mean that guy? He originally applied for the position of kitchen helper but was not selected. But he was recommended by a factory worker, so our factory usually gives him a second chance to try other departments."

Applying for a kitchen helper?

That should mean that MCA has not escaped.

But why didn’t this guy go into the kitchen?

But it doesn’t matter, since I’m in the purchasing department, I’ll just follow myself.

If this kid's character is really like what he is in the drama, he can be trained well in the future.

"Director, I want this guy."

"Jianjun, why don't you consider it? I saw that guy when he came to hand in his information. He looks skinny and I'm afraid he's not cut out to be a buyer."

Director Wang whispered a reminder in his ear.

"Hey, that's nothing. If he really can't do it, then it means he's not cut out for purchasing. It won't be too late to transfer him away later."

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on. Then pick another person and have him work hard this month to help the newcomers get familiar with the job. It's not easy for buyers to do their jobs at the beginning of the year, so you need to do some ideological work for them."

Winter can be a buyer's nightmare.

It is especially painful to go to the countryside when it snows, and there are few supplies available in the cold weather.

Generally, purchasers arrange the delivery of materials at a reasonable time to ensure that the tasks are completed every month.

"Leave it to me, Director."

Wang Jianjun glanced at the list and circled a name on it at random.

Early the next morning, Wang Jianjun made a rare visit to the purchasing department.

When he arrived, there were already a few newcomers in factory uniforms waiting there.

Looking at these newcomers, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but think of his past self.

Before I knew it, I had been working in the steel mill for half a year.

Wang Jianjun spotted a thin young man in his twenties in the crowd and thought he was the man.

"Which one is Ma Hua and Yuan Fang?"

“I’m Ma Hua.”

"I'm Yuan Fang."

The thin young man is Ma Hua, while Yuan Fang is a talkative person.

When Wang Jianjun came in just now, he saw him talking loudly, completely different from the other timid newcomers.

Wang Jianjun chose this person purely because of his name.

"I'm your team leader, Wang Jianjun. You will be part of my team from now on. I'll help you get familiar with the work on your first day. By the way, do you two have any purchasing connections?"

"Brother Wang, my hometown is not far from Sijiu City. I can get some supplies when I go back home."

The person who spoke was Li Yuanfang.

Wang Jianjun felt that this kid could work in the Propaganda Department.

That erratic personality is really a bit like Xu Damao.

"What about you, Mahua?"

Ma Hua explained somewhat embarrassedly:

"Team Leader Wang, this is my first time working in a purchasing group."

This means that he has no experience in this area.

This is not surprising. After all, according to the original timeline, Ma Hua was supposed to go to the kitchen.

"It's okay. The job of a buyer is not difficult. The main thing is to build good relationships with the villagers. You have a month to get familiar with the job."

As Wang Jianjun was speaking, Zhao Fei came over and said with a smile:

"Jianjun, I'll treat you tonight. Take these two newcomers to our old place for dinner in the evening."

"Okay, no problem. I'll be there on time in the evening."

Wang Jianjun became the leader of Group 3, and Zhao Fei was successfully transferred to Group 1.

Although he could only be an ordinary team member, it was Zhao Fei's dream come true.

To celebrate, Zhao Fei splurges and treats his colleagues from the original three groups to a meal.

After agreeing on a time, Wang Jianjun took Ma Hua and Zhao Fei to the logistics department to get bicycles and guns and went to the countryside.

He had traveled to the surrounding villages many times in order to enrich the resources in the space.

So I am quite familiar with the situation in the surrounding villages.

Since he has become the team leader, Wang Jianjun will take this job seriously and be responsible.

During the trip to the countryside, he explained every detail of the work to the two of them, including the benefits of the purchasing agent's job.

He was also observing the reactions of the two.

Li Yuanfang is a smart person, and he basically understands everything Wang Jianjun says.

When he talked about the benefits of a purchasing agent's job, Li Yuanfang understood it immediately and then showed an excited expression.

As for Ma Hua, he was stunned for a while before he suddenly realized.

This guy is just an honest person.

In the evening, Wang Jianjun distributed the purchased items to the two of them to take back.

Ma Hua said a little embarrassedly:

"Team leader, aren't you going to keep the task for yourself?"

Wang Jianjun waved his hand and said, "Take it. I will naturally have something to hand in for the task."

Wang Jianjun is now Director Wang's trusted and beloved general.

The wild boars he had caught in the previous few months were enough to complete a year's task.

I don’t have to go to the countryside to purchase and I can just lie in the office and sleep every day.

After hearing what Wang Jianjun said, Li Yuanfang smiled, thanked him and accepted the things.

He did a rough calculation and figured that he could get an extra 20 cents reimbursement for these things, which was considered a small profit.

Ma Hua felt a little embarrassed and refused a few times before accepting the item.
