The Great Era of Siheyuan

When he woke up the next day, it was already noon. His wife had already prepared breakfast and went to work. Li Wenqiang took a towel and toothbrush to the sink to wash up as usual.

Qin Huairu has begun to integrate into Sha Zhu's circle. She helps him clean his house early in the morning and even neglects to take care of her own children.

"Sister Qin, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do!"

"Huai Ru is still experienced. Zhuzi, you must thank her well when you recover from your injury!"

The aunt and He Yushui both surrounded Qin Huairu and kept praising her, their eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and they were obviously very satisfied with her.

Li Wenqiang took a look and ignored it. He just washed himself. Then he followed the old rules again: no matter what happened, he had to collect the money first.

After breakfast, Li Wenqiang went straight to the Beimo Factory, took the money and left without saying a word.

No matter how good or upright a leader is, if he cannot benefit his subordinates, he is undoubtedly a failure.

Li Wenqiang didn't know what kind of person Liu Qinghua was, but he was obviously not a good partner. He did business as if it was real business. After working with him for so long, Li Wenqiang always had a few cents mixed in the payment he received. He was also businesslike when chatting with him, and seemed a little arrogant.

In Li Huaide's hands, the payment for his goods was always in round numbers. He would give the extra amount to make up ten dollars. Sometimes he would not mind if the amount was a few dollars short.

It's good to have some scattered things, but it will lose the human touch. This is also the reason why he started to distance himself from Liu Qinghua after he asked him for help last time and got no response.

If it were any other factory, they would treat him like a grandfather and would be perfunctory when asking him for a favor. In this case, Li Wenqiang naturally treated this matter purely as a business and did not want to communicate with him too much.

He even planned to stop sending him the goods after he got busy and the business was on track. Two thousand yuan a day was a lot for a factory with hundreds of people, but compared with his future plans, this amount of money was not worth wasting his time.

Li Wenqiang rode his bicycle to the steel mill in a relaxed and comfortable manner. The security guard at the gate was already familiar with Li Wenqiang. When he saw him, he saluted and immediately let him in, allowing him to experience the feeling of being a leader.

When he walked into the security room, Li Wenqiang was suddenly speechless when he found Wang Jianjun here again.

"Brother Wang, you are on duty 24 hours a day, don't you need to rest?"

Li Wenqiang said jokingly.

"Hahaha, what you said is true. We in the security department are on call 24 hours a day! I don't have fixed working hours. As long as the organization needs me, I'm always ready to go to work. I'm waiting for you here today!"

After Wang Jianjun finished speaking, he looked at him seriously.

"Wait for me? What's the matter?"

Li Wenqiang asked in surprise.

"I'm ashamed to say this, but I wonder if you could provide me with a little more supplies every day. I have a group of comrades whose families are having a hard time, and I'd like to buy some food from you every once in a while. I wonder if that's convenient."

Wang Jianjun said this and looked at him expectantly.

Li Wenqiang smiled slightly. This guy finally took the bait. He had been deliberately greeting the security department during this period of time just to attract Wang Jianjun's attention and establish a good relationship with him. Now, the opportunity has come.

The current security department is under the management of the Armed Forces Department, which is the predecessor of the later armed police. In addition to protecting the factory's property safety, it also assists the police station in performing some dangerous tasks. When the police station is short of staff, it can be transferred to the armed police at any time.

Anyone who can be related to him must be someone in the system. If I can get in touch with him, I will have someone to talk to if something goes wrong in the future. If I don't prepare for it now, it will be too late when something goes wrong.

"Brother Wang, since you said so, how can I refuse you? I have admired soldiers since I was a child, so let's not talk about the interval. I will give you two options. The first one is that Brother Wang, you make a list for me, and I will give appropriate relief according to the situation on the list. Families with particularly difficult circumstances will not need to pay, and those with difficult circumstances will be given half the market price. For the rest, I will still follow the rules.

Second, I will give you 500 kilograms of vegetables every day. I am only responsible for giving you the food, and I don't care how you deal with it. Which one do you choose?"

Li Wenqiang asked with a smile.

"The first!"

Wang Jianjun said without hesitation.

The second condition is certainly very tempting, but what's the use of 500 kilograms? A family has at least seven or eight people, and they need at least five kilograms of vegetables every day, and they have to eat them slowly.

Although the first one costs money, Li Wenqiang said before that those who are particularly poor are free, and those who are in need are half the market price. This is too much, it seems that everyone is in need, and even more than half are in need. But there are too many people. Will Li Wenqiang admit it? Wang Jianjun thought with some worry.

"Okay, then Brother Wang, you can roughly calculate how many people there are first! I'll prepare the things later, and you can just go and take them away. You can tell me about the registration later. But I'll be frank with you. If you are in a particularly difficult situation, I can provide free assistance for one month in the early stage, and half price for the second month. If your family is really in financial difficulty, you can tell me in advance, and I'll ask someone to confirm and continue to provide free material assistance. But if you lie to me, then I'm sorry, forget it!"

Li Wenqiang said calmly, as the saying goes, help in emergencies but not in poverty, a little kindness will be repaid with a big helping of rice, he doesn't want to raise a group of ungrateful people.

"Brother, I won't say anything else. I'm going to say this today. I guarantee that every word is true. I'll tell you the exact number later."

Wang Jianjun said with great excitement.

"Then I'll go find Director Li first, and we can talk about the rest later."

Li Wenqiang saw the weighing list and keys on the table, grabbed them, and then inadvertently looked at the weight, which was obviously more than 100 pounds.

Li Wenqiang looked at Wang Jianjun and asked.

"Brother Wang, did you guys weigh it wrong last night, or did you miscalculate? This weight seems to be too much. Does the food in the cafeteria match this?"

"Yes, that's the weight! Isn't it normal for vegetables to lose a hundred pounds of water overnight?"

Wang Jianjun said meaningfully.

Li Wenqiang frowned and said seriously.

"Brother Wang, I'll make up for the difference tonight. I don't mind that."

Wang Jianjun felt a little embarrassed at this time, as if he was flattering the horse but ended up hitting its leg.

"Don't mind it, brother. If there are more, Director Li might be happier!"

"I know, but I don't mind that. I have something else to do so I'll leave first!"

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he left the Security Department directly. Wang Jianjun looked at his back and smiled at himself.

"I have become a villain, haha!"

After saying that, he opened his contact book and started counting one by one.

Li Wenqiang was walking on the road, feeling very disapproving of Wang Jianjun's behavior. This was not what he wanted, so how could he ruin his reputation for such a small profit?

Arriving at Li Huaide's office, Li Wenqiang greeted Li Huaide as usual, took the bag and was about to leave, but was stopped.

"Don't leave in such a hurry. Someone is waiting for you in the conference room next door. They have been waiting for two hours."

"Who?"

Li Wenqiang asked curiously.

"Did you visit my neighbor's house yesterday and give me something?"

Li Huaide looked at him seriously after he finished speaking.

"I went to deliver something to you yesterday! But I went to the wrong door, and I met a beautiful girl who showed me the way. Before I left, I left something for her to thank her. Is there any problem?"

Li Wenqiang asked curiously.

"Of course there is a problem, a big problem. Her father came to my house last night and asked me who I am and why I gave him a gift. Today, the girl followed me here early in the morning. Be careful and don't say anything you shouldn't say. Do you understand?"

Li Huaide warned him carefully.

"What? They found your house and now they're here again? What does her family do?"

Li Wenqiang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that sending a little gift would cause so much trouble. But thinking of the girl from yesterday waiting for him next door, Li Wenqiang's heart became hot again.

"I can't tell you, but her father is a powerful section chief in a certain bureau. You can decide for yourself. Okay, that's it. Just be careful."

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he was ready to chase them away.

Seeing this, Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"Director, I have made such a great contribution to the factory. How about you give me some food coupons? I may have to take her out for dinner later. I don't have anything on me. You can't just watch me make a fool of myself, can you?"

"It's just a few food coupons. Wait, I'll give them to you and give you a few more meat coupons so you can eat better."

Li Huaide didn't mind his request. He took out a handful of bills from the drawer and started looking for them.

Li Wenqiang was sharp-eyed and saw him count out a Fei Ge ladies' bicycle ticket and immediately said.

"Give me the bicycle ticket as well. You can deduct the amount from my payment later."

This bicycle ticket is just right for buying a bicycle for my wife. I have already changed two bicycles, so my wife can't be left behind.

"This is a reward for employees who have made significant contributions. How can you just take it?"

Although Li Huaide said this, he still gave him the ticket directly.

"That's perfect. If there's anyone in this factory who has made greater contributions than me, don't deduct my money. Just give it to me now!"

Li Wenqiang said jokingly.

Li Huaide also laughed. Indeed, in terms of contribution, Li Wenqiang was the undisputed first, and it was not against the rules to give it to him.

"Okay, these tickets are enough for you. I also prepared some tickets for cigarettes, alcohol, candy and cakes. Take them and leave quickly. Don't keep anyone waiting. Remember to treat her well. If anything goes wrong, I can't help you."

Li Huaide warned worriedly.

"I see. Just wait and see!"

Li Wenqiang took the tickets and took a look at them casually. He thought that Old Li was very generous. He had three pounds of meat tickets, five pounds of grain tickets, five pounds of vegetable tickets, a pack of cigarette tickets, and two wine tickets.

There are also tickets for one kilogram of pastry and candy, but these things are useless. The grocery stores are short of materials and have stopped making pastries and candy a long time ago. Except for the purchase restrictions during the Chinese New Year, you can't buy them at other times unless you try your luck at the department store.
