The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 16 Buying a Car
Ma Yushan told Liu Hua what Li Huaide meant, and said to him, "Think carefully. These two are fighting like a hot kiln. If you accept Li Huaide's reward, be careful that Director Yang will target you."

Liu Hua said disdainfully: "How dare he? Does he really think I'm a vegetarian?"

"That's right, you still have a good father."

"I am also capable, okay?"

Unfortunately, no one in the office believed what he said. Liu Hua could only sigh that summer insects cannot talk about ice, and how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan?

When they arrived at Li Huaide's office, the guy was working at his desk, looking very dedicated. Liu Hua knocked on the door, and Li Huaide shouted without even raising his head, "Come in."

After Liu Hua went in, he said, "Wait a moment, I'll be done in a while."

Liu Hua did not lean over to see what business this guy was handling, but according to his understanding, most leaders who say this are just pretending to be positive and are actually testing their employees.

After waiting for three to five minutes, Li Huaide put the cap back on the pen and said with a smile, "I have some urgent business to deal with."

"It doesn't matter. The leader's business is more important."

Li Huaide smiled and said, "I heard from your team leader that this time it was your idea that completely solved a big problem for our steel rolling mill's transportation fleet. I have been very busy recently because of this matter. Our transportation task is very heavy. If this continues, I will have to borrow vehicles from other factories for transportation."

Li Huaide rummaged through the drawer and said, "I have always believed that meritorious service should be rewarded and faults should be punished. Since you have solved a big problem for me, I have a bicycle ticket here as a small token of my appreciation. When we have a meeting tomorrow, I will propose that you be promoted directly to a regular employee and given an additional promotion."

"Thank you for your cultivation." Liu Hua said with a smile: "Thank you for your appreciation, I won't hide anything. I will give you another suggestion."

Li Huaide said with a smile: "Any other good ideas?"

"Since you are troubled by the truck, I have a way to solve this problem a little bit."

Li Huaide became interested and said happily: "That's great, tell me quickly, if you can really solve this problem, I will give you a big reward."

"Brake failure of trucks is a common problem at present." Liu Hua said with a smile: "We have this problem, and other factories also have this problem. I believe that truck manufacturers are also very embarrassed about this problem."

Li Huaide was a very smart man and he understood things immediately. Liu Hua only said this much, but he already knew what Liu Hua wanted to express.

He slapped the table excitedly and said, "You mean I can use this method to establish a relationship with the Yellow River Factory and maybe I can get a car in return."

"You ask for a sky-high price, but you pay us back when we get it. You just said five. At worst, we can negotiate and maybe get two or three. It's not like we don't want to pay. We just need extra places outside the plan."

Li Huaide nodded in agreement: "You, young comrade, are quite resourceful. It just so happens that I have a comrade in the Yellow River Factory, but I can't make connections with him, so I'm in need of a big gift. Now that you've found this gift for me, I really have to reward you well."

"I am serving the factory." Liu Hua said modestly: "It doesn't matter whether I get the award or not. What matters more to me is that I can realize my self-worth in our factory and get promoted at the same time."

"You are a very motivated young comrade." Li Huaide walked up to Liu Hua and patted him on the shoulder: "I like motivated young people like you the most. You are the future of the motherland."

Li Huaide dug into his pocket and pulled out a handful of banknotes: "Whether it succeeds or not, I think your idea is a very good one. I might as well pay for the bicycle." "Isn't this inappropriate?"

"It fits, very well." Li Huaide said with a smile, "You are a young man who has just started working, how can you afford to buy a bicycle? You have to ask your family for it. I will save you the trouble."

Liu Hua frowned: "It will be easy for others to criticize you this way."

Li Huaide directly put the money into Liu Hua's hand and said, "If it really doesn't work, just say you borrowed it from me and pay it back every month. As for whether to pay it back or not, we men have the final say."

It would be a bit ungrateful if I didn't take the money. Liu Hua put the money in his pocket and said with a smile, "In that case, I'll ask for leave from you, the factory director, and I'll go buy the bicycle right away."

"Go ahead." Li Huaide waved his hand. "You haven't been hired yet, and there isn't much work to do. I'll give you half a day off. Go back and talk to your team leader Ma. Just tell him that I approved it."

Since Li Huaide has approved the leave, Ma Yushan naturally will not stop it.

Liu Hua was very generous when buying a bicycle, while others who wanted to buy a bicycle might have gone there several times before, observed and compared the products again and again, and might have been given many cold stares by the salesmen before finally taking out the bicycle ticket and money.

When you buy a bicycle, you may hang a big red flower on the front of it. The whole family will ride back happily and energetically, and will avoid all the potholes along the way. This is a new bike, and the whole family must take care of it as if it were their own eyeballs.

Liu Hua casually slapped the bicycle ticket and money on the counter and said, "I want a Forever 28-inch bicycle."

The salesperson didn't look at the counter at first glance, but at Liu Hua's face, which was so delicate and tender that there were not even a few whiskers on his lips.

"Go away, what's the commotion here? You half-grown boy is here to tease me."

Liu Hua knocked on the counter and said, "You have to speak with conscience. The ticket and money are here. I'm here to buy a bicycle."

The salesperson then saw the counter asking him for money and tickets, took them up and counted them, but still did not take Jiang Hua to see the car.

"Although you look like an adult, this bicycle ticket still costs more than a hundred yuan. It's no joke. Do your parents agree?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm already at work. I've made a contribution in the past two days. This is a reward from the leader."

The salesperson was a little skeptical, but seeing Liu Hua's confident look, he thought he was not lying, so he led him to where the bicycles were parked.

"All of these are permanent. Pick one for yourself."

Liu Hua pushed one at random and said: "No need, they are all qualified products produced by the working class. If you pick them, it means you don't believe in their enthusiasm for work."

The salesperson warned Liu Hua: "This is a big item worth more than 100 yuan. If you find any problems with it after you leave this store, we will not be responsible for it."

"I can repair cars, let alone a bicycle."
