Seeing that Su Ting had finally relented, Li Huaide quickly expressed his understanding: "Brother, don't worry, I understand."

Just give me a general overview, and I promise I won't ask you any more questions afterward.

Su Ting nodded solemnly and said slowly.

"Brother Li, I accidentally saw some documents in their study that time."

One of the items, called a "presentation of approval document," caught my attention.

The document was clearly marked with three large characters: 'Submission for Approval'.

Below are two parts, one with more text and the other with less.

I didn't dare to look closely at the parts with a lot of text.

On the side with fewer words, there were some circles drawn, and next to each circle was written 'Submitted to so-and-so for review'.

Brother Li, that's all I can say. Saying anything more would really be inappropriate.

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide was shocked and immediately put on a kind expression.

He took a stack of tickets from the drawer and handed them to Su Ting, saying...

"Brother, you're amazing! You actually managed to get in touch with high-ranking leaders in central government departments."

Here, I don't need these tickets anyway, so you can keep them! Consider it a small token of my appreciation as an older brother looking after his younger brother.

After exchanging a few polite words with Li Huaide, Su Ting accepted the votes.

Li Huaide was overjoyed when he saw Su Ting accept the gift.

"Brother, don't worry about the car! I'll get the paperwork done for you this afternoon and hand it over to your section chief."

From now on, you can use that car however you like.

When there are no missions, we can drive it to purchase unplanned supplies, wouldn't that be more convenient?

With your brother here, you can rest assured! I can handle this little thing.

However, you should know that the monthly gasoline allocation is limited, and if you use your car every day, it may not be enough.

But don't you have your connections and network of comrades? I think this little trouble shouldn't be a problem for you, right?

As he spoke, he carefully observed Su Ting's changing expressions.

Su Ting immediately knew that this guy didn't completely trust him and was testing whether he could solve the gasoline problem.

If you really have connections, this little thing is no problem at all.

Although Su Ting doesn't have connections at the ministerial level, he does have a system-wide online store!

So he waved his hand dismissively and said...

"Don't worry about this little thing, Brother Li. Just make sure the car is arranged for me. Gasoline and other things are minor issues."

"I'll be driving around every day then, so you just don't regret it."

Upon hearing this, "Emotional value from Li Huaide +18", "Emotional value from Li Huaide +12".

Li Huaide replied cheerfully, "Brother, don't worry, how could I possibly regret it!"

Besides, your ability to drive out to purchase supplies is a good thing for our factory.

Only when you purchasing colleagues go out and run errands can our factory get things delivered!

So just drive with confidence!

Su Ting and Li Huaide chatted for a while longer before taking their leave.

After leaving Li Huaide's office, he found the factory's toilet and relieved himself.

It was during working hours, and there was no one in the restroom.

He took out the ticket that Li Huaide had given him and looked at it. Goodness, Li Huaide is really generous!

Two bicycle tickets, one radio ticket, one watch ticket, and several kilograms of meat tickets—this was quite a financial investment.

After relieving himself, Su Ting felt relaxed and refreshed. He walked straight to the Purchasing Department II from the restroom.

As he passed the power distribution room, he couldn't help but take a second look.

Goodness gracious, the wiring layout of this era is truly baffling; even a spider would probably get lost.

An electrician like that would probably be fired long ago in modern times.

He lit a cigarette and strode confidently into the purchasing department.

At this moment, there was only one female employee in the department, named Sun Lanhua, who was about thirty-one or thirty-two years old, with a plump figure and a beautiful face.

On weekdays, she helps section chief Zhang Changzhi with tasks such as organizing documents and purchasing orders.

But according to Su Ting's observation, there seems to be an unusual relationship between the two of them.

After Su Ting greeted Sun Lanhua and inquired, he learned that Zhang Changzhi was out and about, and had probably gone to Li Huaide's place.

After thanking Sun Lanhua, he found two chairs and put them together.

He put one foot on a chair, leaned back against another chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Sun Lanhua stood up as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally sat down without saying a word.

Sure enough, Zhang Changzhi returned with a big smile on his face when he got off work in the afternoon.

He told Su Ting that everything was taken care of and handed him the car keys.

He also reminded Su Ting that if there were any problems with the vehicle, it should be taken to a mechanic shop for repairs.

But the people in that department are not so easy to deal with; we'll need to be careful how we handle them.

Then he told Su Ting that he would be taking a young man from his department named Liu Dazhuang to the countryside to make purchases the next morning.

Su Ting took the car keys and happily indicated that he understood.

As time went by, it was time for the steel rolling mill to close for the day.

Su Ting originally intended to go find Tong Jiayu, but he saw her pushing a bicycle in the distance, talking to a middle-aged man beside her.

I suppose that must be her uncle, the head of the publicity department.

Su Ting knew there were elders nearby, so he didn't go over to greet them at all. He figured he could wait until they got to know each other better.

He walked to the entrance of the steel rolling mill but did not see Li Guoqiang.

Come to think of it, how could a section chief possibly stand guard at the main gate every day?

It looks like I won't be able to stay in the courtyard house tonight, so I'll have to figure out how to find a nearby hotel to make do for the night.

Just as Su Ting was searching the streets for a hotel, he unexpectedly ran into Xu Damao on the road.

This guy is squatting by the roadside, busy with who knows what! Su Ting smiled to himself, walked up and kicked Xu Damao so hard he fell flat on his back.

In fact, Su Ting had held back and hadn't really done anything to him. He then shouted at the top of his lungs.

"You little brat! I've finally caught you! Give me back my money now!"

As he spoke, he turned the bewildered Xu Damao over and pretended to have mistaken him for someone else.

"Isn't this my brother Mao? Oh, I'm so sorry, so sorry."

"When I saw your back just now, I thought it was that kid who owed me money a few days ago! What a blunder!"

As she spoke, she got up and helped Xu Damao stand up, and even considerately brushed the dust off his body.

At this moment, Xu Damao's mind was filled with profanities.

But he couldn't resist Su Ting's extremely sincere attitude of admitting his mistake, so he could only suppress his anger.

Xu Damao's emotional value +38

Xu Damao's emotional value +21

Clearly, Xu Damao was quite angry. It took him a long time to suppress his anger and calm down before he spoke.

"Kid, watch your step next time! You almost kicked your brother to death!"

Seeing that Xu Damao was still somewhat angry, Su Ting quickly apologized with a smile: "Brother Damao, I was indeed wrong about this."

But speaking of which, I never expected that you, Brother Da Mao, such a grown man, would still have such a childlike heart playing with mud!

Haha, don't be angry, Brother Mao. I'll prepare some food and drinks to make amends later, what do you think?

"It's not playing in the mud! My bicycle chain fell off!"

Xu Damao was helpless at this moment, as the other party kept calling him "Big Brother".

As the older brother, I can't be so petty and keep arguing like this.

Besides, Su Ting had already promised to treat him to drinks and dinner that night as an apology, so he didn't pursue the matter further and forgave him.

"Alright! I'm fine, it's all a misunderstanding."

Okay then! You just need to prepare some snacks to go with the drinks. I have a few bottles of wine left, so you won't have to trouble yourself to buy any more.

Upon hearing Xu Damao agree, Su Ting pretended to be a little embarrassed and said...
