Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 186 Character
The two chatted and joked along the way, and by the time they finished buying things and arrived at Guo Xiangming's house, more than half an hour had passed.

"It's Wei Min who's here. Why is he bringing so many things?"

"Sister-in-law, if I don't bring some snacks and ask you to add more food for us, Xiang Mingfei will tear me apart."

Zhou Weimin handed over the thing in his hand and poked Guo Xiangming with his arm.

When he entered the room, he saw Guo Zhenghe reading a newspaper. He stopped and greeted him, "Grandpa, you are at home today. Look at my memory. Last time, Mr. Duan gave me some good wine. I told him I would bring you two bottles."

"Hey, I have plenty of wine here. It would be better for you to come over and sit with me."

Guo Zhenghe put away the newspaper and asked Zhou Weimin to sit next to him.

"How are things going at the factory lately? I heard that you asked the chef to make snacks for the workers as a benefit?"

"I just saw that it was hard to get cake tickets, and people usually couldn't bear to eat them themselves even if they found them, so I wanted to let everyone have a taste. We can't make cakes something that only leaders can eat, right? It's not conducive to unity."

Zhou Weimin smiled and didn't seem as restrained as he was with Duan Weihong.

"You have a lot of big principles, just like Old Man Duan. You did a good job on this matter. Old Man Duan will give you a push. If anyone wants to touch you in the future, they will have to think twice."

Guo Zhenghe looked at Zhou Weimin with appreciation, and when he saw Guo Xiangming sitting down, he continued, "You came here today for Xiangming's matter, right? The positions in the steel mill have basically been decided, and even if Xiangming becomes the deputy director, it's just a sinecure, which is meaningless. I plan to let Xiangming go to the third line to train. Weimin, what do you think?"

Guo Xiangming frowned and said unhappily, "Dad, why are you talking to Wei Min about this? Didn't I agree to it?"

He wanted to talk to Zhou Weimin about this before he left. What's the point of talking about it now and counting the days together?

"Ok?"

"Cough cough..."

Guo Zhenghe just raised his eyebrows and glanced at Guo Xiangming. Guo Xiangming coughed twice, took the bottle and poured wine for the two of them, and didn't dare to say another word.

Zhou Weimin glanced at Guo Xiangming, pondered for a moment, and said carefully: "Old man, it is definitely better to let Xiangming go to the third line than to stay in the steel mill, but under the current circumstances, I think it is better to go there for a year or two. If it takes too long, I am afraid he will have to take root there."

"Hahahaha, what you said is right. You can't stay here too long. But just say this here, don't go and persuade others. Pour some wine for Wei Min, remember what he said, don't forget it in the future."

Guo Zhenghe laughed heartily upon hearing this, and did not forget to give Guo Xiangming a word of advice.

There is no doubt about Zhou Weimin's ability. Anyone who is favored by old man Duan can't be that bad. Now his character has also been verified. With such a friend, Guo Xiangming's life will be much easier in the future.

There are very few true friends a person can make in his lifetime, and he feels deeply gratified that his son now has one.

"Remember, remember. If you don't eat it now, the food will get cold."

Guo Xiangming said nonchalantly, but he also kept the advice in mind.

Zhou Weimin said this and the old man agreed, which meant there was something behind this matter and he would remember it so as not to suffer any loss.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. Go to my room and get the two bottles of wine your eldest brother brought back last time. Wei Min is here now. Come drink a couple of glasses with me, an old man."

"Grandpa, Xiang Ming and I will go get it together. He's so clumsy that he might knock the cabinet over."

Before Guo Xiangming could even sit down, Guo Zhenghe rushed to get some wine. Guo Xiangming's wife followed him into the house. "Wei Min, ignore them, let's drink first."

"Hey, old man, I respect you."

"Wei Min, my sons are all out there. Xiang Ming is also going to be transferred to the third line. You should come to see me more often when you are free. It is not easy to be transferred to the third line. It will probably take another two months. You should be prepared. You can't let the position of the head of the purchasing department remain vacant forever."

"Grandpa, I am still acting as the canteen director. It will take another two months for me to be promoted to a full-time position. I am not qualified for the position of section chief."

Zhou Weimin was shocked. This old man acted too quickly. He arranged things for Guo Xiangming before he even left.

But there was really no way he could take on this good opportunity. He had already been promoted fast enough, and if he jumped to the position of head of the purchasing department, he would be in big trouble.

"Hey, the canteen director can take over, but why can't the purchasing section chief take over? You came from the purchasing section in the first place, and you are familiar with everything in the purchasing section. There's nothing you can't do."

Guo Zhenghe waved his hand, leaving Zhou Weimin no room to refuse, and said with a smile: "Old Man Duan and I are old friends. He won't have any thoughts about you coming to my place. I know his thoughts very well. When Xiang Ming comes back, you can help him out, and it will be like repaying the old man for his kindness."

Zhou Weimin nodded helplessly. He knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, so he said sincerely: "If the organization didn't forbid it, Xiang Ming and I would be sworn brothers. Regardless of whether it's a personal relationship, I have to help Xiang Ming if he has any problems. Xiang Ming won't watch if something happens to me, so don't worry."

He was really helpless. The promotion was too fast. He had to think carefully about how to appease Li Huaide when he returned.

If Li Huaide misunderstood, things would be difficult to deal with afterwards.

Although his background is no worse than Li Huaide's now, there is really no need to compete with Li Huaide.

His needs and Li Huaide's needs are different and there is no conflict at all. Cooperation is the best way.

into the night.

Zhou Weimin rode his bike back to the courtyard, still a little drunk.

I had just parked the car and wiped my face when Liu Haizhong came over.

"Master Liu, what do you want to talk to me about so late at night?"

"Hey, Weimin, there is something. I came to look for you after dinner just now. I saw that you were not at home, so I knew you were busy. Didn't I come here when I heard the noise?"

Liu Haizhong smiled flatteringly. When he saw Jiang Qiuna go into the inner room, he didn't go inside. He just stood by the door, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Hey, Master Liu, if you have anything to say hello to me at the factory, Xiang Ming went to drink with me today. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have gone."

Zhou Weimin said this halfheartedly, walked to Liu Haizhong's side, and asked softly, "Are you looking for me to ask about the martial arts competition?"

"Well, Weimin, if I perform well in this competition, will I have the opportunity to become a team leader or something? I think the leaders attach great importance to this competition."

Liu Haizhong kept looking into the yard and lowered his voice, like a thief.

Zhou Weimin said before that if someone goes up, someone else must come down. If any team leader in their workshop fails in the skills competition, wouldn’t he have a chance?

He was just worried that the leader wouldn't take it seriously this time, so he thought of coming over to ask.
