The Great Era of Siheyuan

I filled up the gas tank at the Beimo Factory and drove to the steel mill. The steel mill was about a kilometer down the cross slope, and it took less than three minutes to ride the motorcycle.

"Morning, Brother Wang!"

Li Wenqiang walked to the security room and greeted Wang Jianjun inside enthusiastically.

"Good morning, brother Wen Qiang. Why are you here so early today?"

Wang Jianjun stood up and greeted with a smile.

"It's because I have to arrange work for those brothers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to get up so early. Now I'm still sleepy!"

Li Wenqiang yawned as he spoke.

Hearing this, Wang Jianjun no longer wanted to joke with him and spoke seriously.

"I'm so sorry to say this. Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, so many brothers wouldn't know what to do. It would be great if I could meet you earlier. Some comrades are now~ Hey!"

Wang Jianjun began to sigh as he spoke.

"Come on, I've already thanked you so many times! Let me make a deal first, you have to help me promote my business and get me some work, otherwise I might be laid off one day!"

Li Wenqiang said jokingly.

"How is that possible? The money you make from selling vegetables in one day is enough to pay them several months' salary! But don't worry, I will go and find out for you later. If there is any work, I will definitely give it to you!"

Wang Jianjun naturally wouldn't take his words seriously, but he would definitely make a statement about this matter.

"Then I'll be waiting. Okay. I'll take the order. I have something else to do over there. I'm leaving now!"

Li Wenqiang took the list from his desk and turned to walk towards the administrative building.

"Okay, go get busy first!"

As soon as Wang Jianjun finished speaking, Li Wenqiang had already gone outside, which made him smile. There was hope for this day.

Li Wenqiang climbed up the stairs in a few steps. He let out a long breath and calmed down before coming to Li Huaide's office.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Director Cui, don't worry. I'll talk to him later. But do you want to raise the meat quota for our steel mill? Okay! It's settled then!"

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard a voice coming from inside. His cheap father-in-law called again. He didn't know what he said to Li Huaide.

Li Wenqiang knocked on the door and walked in.

"Good morning, boss. You seem to be doing well recently. What good thing has happened to you?"

Li Wenqiang asked with a smile, then walked up to him and waited for him to give him money.

Li Huaide first looked at Li Wenqiang carefully before he spoke.

"Wen Qiang, tell me honestly, what happened between you and Director Cui? Why has he been coming to ask about you every other day? He just called me again and asked me to tell you to come over, otherwise he won't give us any good meat. Tell me, this is too outrageous!"

Li Huaide said in pretended anger.

"Looking for me? Why is he looking for me?"

Li Wenqiang was really puzzled at this moment. Could it be that he wanted to trick him over there, ambush three hundred swordsmen, and then chop him into meat paste by smashing the cup as a signal?

"That's what I want to ask you, Wen Qiang. I don't know what the conflict is between you and Director Cui, but I hope that the problem between you will affect the meat supply of the steel mill employees. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Huaide sat in his seat and looked at him seriously.

"I understand. Don't worry, there will be no problem. If he doesn't give you meat, I'll find a way to get it for you in a month or two. By the way, I have something to ask you. Please write me a note so I can go to the logistics department to get two iron pots to use."

Li Wenqiang said indifferently that he didn't believe Director Cui had the ability to take action against the steel mill. If Li Huaide really got angry, Director Cui would probably be finished in a few days.

"What do you want the iron pot for?"

Li Huaide couldn't understand what he was thinking. Why did he bring up this matter for no reason?

"Of course I need it. Didn't you give me a courtyard house before? Now that I've made some money, I might as well fix it up. Otherwise, it's not easy to live in this crowded courtyard, don't you think?"

Li Wenqiang made up an excuse.

"Okay, I'll write you a note, and you can go get it from Wang Dawei. There's one more thing I want to ask you, what's the matter with that idiot Zhu? Why is he injured and taking leave every other day? Now there's no one to prepare the banquet for my factory. I'm used to his cooking, and it always feels a little off when I eat other people's food."

Li Huaide took out an envelope from the drawer and said with some dissatisfaction. He took the file bag casually.

You know, the steel mill's banquet is also famous outside. Now that Sha Zhu got into trouble, he realized how important Sha Zhu was.

"You'll probably have to ask him that question himself."

Li Wenqiang shrugged, took the envelope casually, opened it, took a few glances at it, and only answered him after making sure there was no problem.

"Then tell him when you go back and ask him to return to his job as soon as possible. Otherwise, if everyone becomes like him, it will be a mess."

Li Huaide said seriously.

"Okay, I'll pass the message on to you. I'll go find him later when I get back."

Li Wenqiang agreed without thinking, since it didn't cost him a dime. It was just a message, no big deal.

"Okay, you can go out now if you're fine. Remember to look for Director Cui later. Don't wait until he has dealt with the matter before coming back."

Li Huaide casually wrote a note and directly kicked Li Wenqiang out.

Li Wenqiang didn't take it seriously and walked towards the logistics department with the note.

He has been working at the steel mill for quite some time, but every day he comes here and it feels as if something is very fresh and new, which is quite a strange feeling.

"Hey, Wang Dawei, you haven't left yet? Go get me two iron pots!"

Li Wenqiang walked to the office of the logistics department, threw the documents in his hand in front of him, and spoke in a very familiar manner.

Wang Dawei was stunned for a moment. Why would he leave for no reason? What kind of person would do such an irrational thing?

"Wait! Come here and get two iron pots!"

Wang Dawei ignored him and casually ordered one of his men to come and get his things, while he sat in his seat and drank tea.

Seeing that he ignored him, Li Wenqiang was too lazy to tease him anymore and turned to his men and said.

"I'll have the biggest pot, thanks!"

Li Qiang hurriedly told the people inside about his request, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.

Li Wenqiang didn't care. It didn't matter if it was big or small. As long as it was there, it would be fine. He didn't have high requirements. It didn't matter if it was big or small. If it was small, he could just ask them to make an extra pot.
