Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 373 Lack of Food!

When Wu Aiguo was familiar with the work in the new department, in an office of the logistics department of the rolling mill, a middle-aged man walked into Li Huaide's office with a sad face, and reported to Li Huaide: "Director Li! Our factory warehouse The grain and meat in the food can only last for seven days at most.”

Li Huaide, who was sitting at his desk reading the report, immediately frowned when he heard the subordinate's report, and asked him in puzzlement: "Xiao Wang! I remember half a month ago, when you inspected the warehouse, you once asked As I said, the food in the warehouse can last until the end of the month, and it’s only the middle of the month now, why don’t we have enough food?”

Upon hearing Li Huaide's question, Xiao Wang, the warehouse clerk, thought of the reason for the rapid food consumption, and quickly reported: "Director Li! The situation is like this. In the past, the workshops in our factory rarely worked overtime, and the workers usually went home to eat. After the meal, from the middle of this month, because of overtime work, many workers stayed in the factory to eat, which led to the shortage of food in the factory."

Li Huaide heard the situation reported by Xiao Wang and learned that the food in the factory could only last for seven days. A solemn expression appeared on his face and he ordered Xiao Wang: "Xiao Wang! Go to the purchasing department and ask Liu The section chief comes to my office."

"Director Li! Please wait a moment, I'll call Section Chief Liu over now." Hearing Li Huaide's order, Xiao Wang immediately replied respectfully, and then walked out of Li Huaide's office.

A few minutes later, Section Chief Liu followed Xiao Wang to Li Huaide's office. The other party saw Li Huaide sitting in the office frowning. Respectfully asked: "Director Li! Is there anything you can do with me?"

Hearing Section Chief Liu's inquiry, Li Huaide thought of the shortage of food in the warehouse, and told Section Chief Li: "Old Liu! During this period of time, the factory has to work overtime to catch up with work, resulting in a serious shortage of food in the factory. According to Wang’s report, the grain in our factory can only last for seven days.”

"Insufficient food supply means that the production will decline. Once the higher authorities are held accountable, I will be the first responsible person, and you, the chief of the purchasing department, don't think about it too, so you guys in the purchasing department must think of a way." , strive to purchase a batch of grain back.”

After hearing Li Huaide's words, Section Chief Liu thought of the real reason for the lack of food in the factory, and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! It's not that I want to shirk responsibility, but the current environment. There is a shortage of food everywhere in the country."

"In addition, because of the lack of food, the workers in the factory, in order to ensure the food and clothing of the whole family, went home directly from our cafeteria. In addition, the factory had to work overtime to catch up with work, which led to insufficient food. .”

"All the buyers in the purchasing department were sent out by me. Although the buyers can buy some grain from time to time, these grains are simply a drop in the bucket for our rolling mill."

Li Huaide heard the situation reported by Section Chief Liu, and thought of the actual situation of food shortage in various parts of the country, he solemnly ordered to Section Chief Li: "Old Liu! You can use as much strength as you have in the procurement department, and strive for After purchasing a batch of grain, I will find a solution for the remaining gap."

Seeing that Li Huaide did not put all the pressure on the procurement department, Chief Liu was secretly relieved, and assured Li Huaide: "Director Li! I will do my best to help the factory purchase Bring back some food."

Li Huaide nodded subconsciously when he heard Section Chief Liu's promise, and replied: "Okay! Then you can go to work first!"

After watching Section Chief Li and Xiao Wang walk out of the office together, Li Huaide reached out and rubbed his temples, then pressed the phone on the desk, shook the phone handle a few times, then picked up the phone, and said politely: " This is the logistics department of the rolling mill, please transfer me to the procurement department of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, please ask Section Chief Wu to answer the phone."

"Hello! This is the Purchasing Section of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative. May I ask who you are looking for?" The call was connected quickly, and a young man's polite inquiry came from the phone immediately.

Li Huaide heard some familiar inquiries, and said, "Are you Li Bin? I am your third grandfather."

Li Bin on the other end of the phone asked in surprise when he heard Li Huaide's self-introduction: "Third Grandfather! Why are you free to call me today?"

Facing Li Bin's inquiry, thinking of the reason for his call, Li Huaide said kindly, "Xiao Bin! I'm not looking for you today, but your Section Chief Wu, please let him answer the phone."

When Li Bin learned the reason for Li Huaide's call, he immediately introduced, "Third Grandpa! Section Chief Wu was transferred from our unit yesterday!"

"What! Xiao Bin! What are you talking about? Chief Wu has been transferred, do you know where he is transferred?" Li Huaide asked Li Bin with a shocked expression on his face when he heard the news of Wu Aiguo's transfer. road.

Hearing Li Huaide's question, Li Bin felt the surprise contained in Li Huaide's tone, and replied respectfully: "Third Grandpa! I don't know the details. I only heard that Section Chief Wu was transferred to that unit. The transfer letter was sent from the Government Affairs Council, and if my judgment is correct, Section Chief Wu should have been transferred to a unit under the Government Affairs Council."

Li Huaide was very clear about Wu Aiguo's ability. When he learned that Li Bin didn't know which department Wu Aiguo was transferred to, he immediately realized that the department Wu Aiguo transferred to should not be an ordinary department.

Realizing this, Li Huaide thought about going to Workshop Nine to find Wu Aiguo's father later, asking him where Wu Aiguo had been transferred, and then asked Li Bin, "Xiao Bin! Are you still used to working in Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative? ?”

Li Bin heard Li Huaide ask about work and reported: "Grandpa Third! Because of Grandpa, my colleagues in the unit take great care of me, and everything goes very smoothly."

Li Bin introduced here, thinking of what Zheng Jun and the others said in the morning, and then introduced: "But the colleagues in the department said that in the past, Section Chief Wu was there, and we just went out to run errands. Section Chief Wu can easily solve the procurement. Now that Section Chief Wu has been transferred away, I am afraid our life will be difficult in the future."

When Li Huaide heard Li Bin's introduction, he was convinced of Li Bin's worries, and encouraged Li Bin: "Xiao Bin! Only by surviving in adversity can you truly grow up, otherwise you will always be hiding under your wings The fledglings are worse than relying on others!"
