The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Li Qin naturally didn't intend to keep He Yuzhu petrified forever. When he arrived at the office building where Li Huaide's office was located, he lifted the petrification curse on He Yuzhu.

Of course, it's just a petrification spell.

As for the rest, he did not resolve them.

He wanted to make He Yuzhu feel pain.

Moreover, as long as he doesn't lift the curse on He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu will inevitably think of Li Qin, thus generating a lot of emotional power.

Li Qin had arranged everything for He Yuzhu perfectly and clearly.

Li Huaide's office was on the second floor, a fact that Li Qin had known for a long time.

He went straight up the stairs to Li Huaide's office door;

Then he knocked politely;

"Thump! Thump thump!"

The next second, Li Huaide's familiar voice came from inside the office;

"Please come in!"

After receiving permission, Li Qin pushed open the office door and went inside;

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Huaide sitting behind his desk.

Li Huaide also saw Li Qin entering at this moment, and a faint smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Little Li, you're here."

Li Qin smiled and nodded;

"Yes, Director Li, I'm here."

Li Huaide, who had been all smiles, suddenly stopped smiling and said with dissatisfaction;

"Why are you calling me 'section chief'? Didn't I already tell you to call me 'uncle'?"

Li Qin naturally knew that Li Huaide wasn't really angry, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he went along with what the other person was saying.

"Isn't it because the environment is wrong? It's fine to call you Uncle Li in private, but this is a steel rolling mill, so it's more appropriate to call you Director."

This way, I won't cause you any trouble, Uncle Li.

Li Huaide nodded in acceptance of Li Qin's explanation.

Actually, Li Qin's way of addressing him when he entered was also a test. He didn't know if Li Huaide's suggestion to call him "uncle" last night was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.

It now seems that Li Huaide genuinely wants to get closer to him.

Once he realized this, the smile on his face immediately became much more genuine.

"Come and sit down."

Li Huaide gestured to Li Qin.

Just now, Li Qin was testing Li Qin, and Li Huaide was also testing Li Qin.

Li Huaide was still very satisfied with his whereabouts at this time.

Judging from Li Qin's reaction just now, Li Qin is perceptive and not the kind of person who can't keep secrets, nor is he the kind of person who becomes arrogant when he gains power.

Li Qin did not refuse and obediently sat down opposite Li Huaide.

"I prepared your onboarding form as soon as I arrived at work today. Please fill in your information and then I will take you to the personnel department to complete the onboarding process."

As soon as Li Qin sat down, Li Huaide took out several sheets of paper from the drawer and pushed them in front of Li Qin.

At the same time, he handed a pen to Li Qin.

Looking at the employment form in front of him, Li Qin didn't stand on ceremony. He reached out and took the pen that Li Huaide handed him, and then began to fill in the information.

Onboarding is a serious matter, and although nothing unexpected is expected, it's still best to get it done as soon as possible.

As for other things, we can discuss them slowly after this matter is completed.

The onboarding forms at this time were relatively simple, and Li Qin filled them out quickly.

"Uncle Li, could you please take a look and see if there's anything wrong?"

Although Li Qin was certain that he had filled it out correctly, he still felt he should be polite when necessary.

Besides being polite, this also expresses respect and closeness to Li Huaide.

Upon hearing his words, Li Huaide's face immediately broke into an even wider smile, and he accepted the employment form without refusing.

"Xiao Li, your handwriting is quite good."

Last night, while chatting with Li Qin, he intentionally revealed his background.

Therefore, Li Huaide was also aware of Li Qin's previous status as a refugee.

I originally thought that even if Li Qin knew a few words, he probably wouldn't know many, but I didn't expect that the handwriting on the employment form was not only neat, but also quite beautiful.

Although the original owner only graduated from elementary school, Li Qin, who transmigrated here, is a full-fledged college student.

In addition, I had practiced my handwriting intentionally when I was in school, so my handwriting is naturally not bad.

"Don't laugh at me, Uncle Li, but I was a very good student when I was young. If my family hadn't been so poor, I would have definitely graduated from middle school."

Although I couldn't go to school later, I would still practice my handwriting on scrap paper whenever I had time, and over time my handwriting became a little better.

Since he didn't have to worry about being exposed, Li Qin just made up an excuse.

Hearing him say that, Li Huaide didn't doubt it at all. Instead, he looked at Li Qin with admiration.

Then they carefully checked the employment application form;

"Everything you filled out is correct. We'll go to the personnel department now to finalize your employment."

Li Huaide first signed his name on the employment form, then took out an official seal from the drawer and stamped it, before leading Li Qin to the personnel department.

Although Li Huaide is only a deputy director now, he has a very strong background.

Many leaders in the steel rolling mill were aware of this, so with Li Huaide's guidance, Li Qin's onboarding went very smoothly.

After submitting the application form, the head of the personnel department personally handled the application process.

After that, Li Huaide took Li Qin to the Labor and Wages Department to collect the relevant labor protection supplies.

Two sets of factory uniforms, a lunchbox, a water cup...

After doing all this, Li Huaide took Li Qin back to the office again;

"Thank you so much, Uncle Li. Without your help, I don't know how much longer it would have taken to get all this done."

Li Qin took the initiative to pick up the office kettle and add water to Li Huaide's teacup.

Li Huaide, however, waved his hand dismissively.

"The basic procedures have been completed today. You can take the certificate issued by the factory to the street office later to settle your household registration."

Also, don't forget to retrieve your personnel file from the neighborhood office and hand it over to the factory's archives department. And remember to submit a few passport photos to the personnel department as well.

Because Li Huaide personally handled the formalities for Li Qin, many things were simplified.

However, Li Qin still needed to submit the required documents afterward.

Otherwise, if problems arise, it will cause trouble for Li Huaide and those departments.

Li Qin understood this, so after hearing Li Huaide's words, he immediately nodded to indicate that he had remembered them.

"I noticed you're still renting a room in the back section of a courtyard house. That won't do. I'll take you to the housing management office later and try to get you a better place."

Because Li Qin was directly registered as a formal employee, according to the steel rolling mill's regulations, Li Qin was entitled to a room.

As for whether a house is good or bad, that depends on the mood of the housing management department.

However, now that Li Huaide is backing him, the housing management department will definitely not allocate Li Qin a bad house.

The steel rolling mill is about to start recruiting, and the scale of the mill will expand significantly. At that time, the housing for the steel rolling mill will definitely be in short supply.

However, at this time of year, there are still many empty buildings in the steel rolling mill.

That's why the courtyard houses weren't fully occupied.

One reason Li Qin was so eager to finish his work was that he wanted to take advantage of the time difference to get a better room in the courtyard house.

Otherwise, once the recruitment officially begins, all the empty rooms in the courtyard will soon be allocated.
