Siheyuan: The Final Winner

Red Star No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant.

In the warehouse of the small cafeteria, Director Chen of the logistics department looked at the two hares brought back by Jiang Ping'an with a happy smile.

He said to Jiang Ping'an with a smile on his face: "Comrade Ping'an, you really lived up to the trust of the organization and successfully completed the task assigned to you by your superiors. I hope you will continue to work hard..."

After listening patiently, Jiang Ping'an complained: "Director, it's hard to find things in the countryside now. I almost broke my leg because of these things."

Crying children cry out with milk, this is an eternal truth.

Director Chen also knew what the situation was like this year.

He patted Jiang Ping'an on the shoulder and comforted him: "You have worked hard. In order to guarantee the reception task of the small cafeteria, I have sent out several of you capable buyers."

"If you lose the chain, this work will not be able to be carried out. Please persevere. The organization will see your efforts. When the next rating is made, the organization will give priority to you."

Jiang Pingan laughed and replied, "It doesn't matter what the rating is. As long as I can complete the tasks assigned by my superiors, I will be satisfied."

"You are a good comrade!" Director Chen said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, he began to count the materials.

There are not too many things, and they are all common things in rural areas.

Only three roosters, a hen, two hares, a small piece of bacon, a few pieces of sausage and a cured fish stand out.

In the case of a shortage of supplies in the past few years, these things are luxurious enough to entertain guests.

Soon after the statistics were completed, Director Chen opened the list and handed it over to Jiang Pingan, saying earnestly:

"In the future, don't go to the factory every three days, but stay in the country often, and come back after looking for more things."

Jiang Pingan nodded repeatedly, took the list, and asked casually, "Is there any news in the factory these days?"

Director Chen was about to reply when suddenly the door of the warehouse was pushed open from the outside.

The visitor was about thirty years old, dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, with Mediterranean hair, and a face with Chinese characters, which was a little greasy, and his puffy eyes always radiated a wretched light.

This person is Li Huaide, the deputy factory director who was promoted not long ago.

"Hello, director!" Director Chen and Jiang Ping'an said in unison.

Li Huaide put his hands behind his back, nodded with a smile, looked at Jiang Ping'an, and said:

"Comrade Ping An came back from the countryside? Did you find anything good?"

Director Chen stepped forward and replied with a smile: "Comrade Ping An has never disappointed you."

"This time he found three roosters, a hen, two hares, and some bacon, sausages, and cured fish, all good things."

Li Huaide swallowed, hummed, stepped forward with a smile, and patted Jiang Ping'an's shoulder with satisfaction.

Looking back, he told Director Chen: "You take a rooster and a hare to the cafeteria later, tell Director Wang, let him order Shazhu to cook a few dishes carefully, I will have a banquet tonight guest."

"Just take a rooster and a hare?" Director Chen confirmed.

Li Huaide smiled, nodded and said: "It's good to have a rooster and a hare, what else can I do? Good things can't be eaten in one meal!"

"Okay, I'll go over to meet with Director Wang later." Director Chen nodded and replied without further questioning.

Li Huaide smiled slightly, turned and walked out.

When he reached the door, he stopped again, turned around and said to Jiang Ping'an:

"Comrade Ping An, the current situation is severe, you buyers must not lose the chain!"

Before Jiang Ping'an could reply, he turned around again, took out a ticket from his pocket, stuffed it into Jiang Ping'an's hand, and said at the same time, "This is a reward from the organization, work hard!"

Then he patted Jiang Ping'an's shoulder again, turned around and left.

Jiang Pingan picked up the ticket and saw it was a radio ticket, thinking:

"I have a bicycle, a watch, and now a radio. Is the sewing machine far away?"

Although this deputy factory manager Li has a bad character and is just as deceitful as he is, his opponent is really good and he is very generous.

At least Jiang Ping'an had been in the factory for several years, and had rarely dealt with Director Yang.

The rewards were all issued by Deputy Factory Manager Li, and even the salary upgrade was arranged by Deputy Factory Manager Li.

Of course, it is also possible that deputy factory director Li has always been his superior and has been in charge of logistics, so it is natural to be close to his own people first if it is beneficial.

But no matter what, Deputy Factory Manager Li was able to make the logistics part like an iron barrel, airtight, which is considered very capable.

Just as he was thinking about something, Director Chen's voice came from beside him: "Work hard, Deputy Director Li thinks highly of you!"

"Hehe, it's mainly because of your support, director." Jiang Pingan replied quickly.

...

After coming out of the warehouse, Jiang Ping'an took the order from Director Chen, went to the financial side to report the account, and it was almost time for dinner.

He came to the cafeteria with the lunch box. Although he hadn't rung the bell yet, many workers had already lined up.

Jiang Pingan didn't go to line up, but went straight to the back kitchen.

When he arrived at the back kitchen, he yelled at a woman in her early twenties who was standing at the window serving vegetables to the workers:

"Sister Liu Lan, help me get a portion of cabbage, a portion of potato shreds, and two white flour steamed buns."

Liu Lan looked back, saw that it was Jiang Ping'an, smiled, and asked, "When did Ping'an return to the factory?"

As he said that, he trotted over, took the lunch box from Jiang Ping'an's hand, and turned around to help him prepare the meal.

Jiang Pingan took a few steps forward, threw the bill into the box, took the lunch box, and replied:

"Not long after I arrived, the road was a bit difficult to walk, and I almost missed my meal."

While talking, the canteen chef He Yuzhu, who was sitting beside him drinking tea, yelled loudly:

"Well, you Jiang Ping'an, you didn't say hello to me when you arrived at my site?"

Jiang Ping turned around and said with a smile, "You treat me to two white flour steamed buns, and I'll call you Brother Zhuzi, how about that?"

"Forget it, you should call me silly Zhu!" He Yuzhu shook his head when he heard that.

Jiang Pingan laughed, pulled the chair beside him and sat next to He Yuzhu, chatting with him while eating.

"Your kitchen is better, and you don't need money to eat." Jiang Pingan took a bite of steamed buns and muttered.

He Yuzhu glared at him, and said angrily: "Why don't you need money? We all paid for our meals, so don't yell."

"I believe you! You shake the spoon so hard, do you really think others are blind?" Jiang Ping'an pursed his lips.

He Yuzhu didn't argue with him, and said with a smile: "By the way, our back kitchen only has such a little power. How can you purchasers be as comfortable as you are? You travel around the mountains and rivers every day, and you are free and easy!"

Jiang Pingan said with a smile: "Happy fart, it's true to travel over mountains and rivers every day, to be exposed to the wind and the sun."

As he said that, he discussed with He Yuzhu: "By the way, I have to wait a few months to pay back the thirty yuan I owe you. I just got a radio ticket, and I want to buy it earlier to enjoy myself."

"A radio ticket? Who gave it to you?" He Yuzhu was shocked and asked curiously.

Jiang Ping'an leaned forward and whispered, "Deputy Director Li!"

"Good guy, let him prepare everything for you after three turns and one ring!" He Yuzhu said enviously.
