The strong fisherman in the courtyard

The food delivered this time has been exchanged for money, and this month's salary has also been received. What can I do if I listen to the section chief nagging me?

Anyway, I won’t come next month anyway!

After Xu Qiang finished muttering, he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he turned around and started to pack up the food for this month in their stock.

"Don't just stand there, follow me and pack up. We'll take it to the logistics department later. We'll drop these things there and go eat."

"At least this month's mission is completed."

"I'm coming."

"Old Xu, you should have said so earlier!"

"That's it."

"Shiro told us to wait."

When everyone heard about the meal, they immediately became excited. Section Chief Xu, who was ignored, was gathered together by the crowd and started to clean up.

. . . . . .

Afternoon, steel rolling mill.

Li Ming had a full meal and strolled out of their purchasing department's office. It was not easy for him to come to the steel mill, so he had to go and see his uncle.

After all, he was planning to get a gun from him this time. Although he had one on him, he couldn't show it in public. A gun that couldn't be shown in public would be of little use to Li Ming now.

It just so happened that I got half a box of special supply from old man Zhang last time. Now I'm giving two boxes to my uncle. It can be regarded as improving our relationship, right?

Office of the deputy director of the steel rolling mill.

"Dong dong."

The sound of Li Ming knocking on the door was heard, and Li Huaide answered from inside.

"Come in, the door is not closed!"

Li Ming then pushed the door and walked in. He had to follow the proper etiquette, otherwise he would be no different from the idiot in their yard!

"Uncle! Your nephew misses you so much!"

The voice rang out before Li Mingren even stepped into the office. After Li Ming walked in, he was embarrassed to find that there was one more person in his uncle Li'er's office.

"Ah, this is quite embarrassing, how about I go out first?"

Li Ming touched his nose awkwardly and pointed outside the door. Li Huaide just watched Li Ming making a fool of himself with a smile.

This bastard has never come here once since he was given the task from the steel mill. He just disappeared without a trace!

Now he remembered to come. I guess he came to deliver the purchased grain, and then come to see him after he was done. Now he had to embarrass this cheap nephew.

Li Ming was not the only one who was embarrassed. Another middle-aged man in his thirties in the office also had a rather awkward smile on his face and looked at Li Huaide from time to time.

He almost wrote his doubts on his forehead. What on earth was going on? Li Huaide didn't tell him! This was also his first time as a secretary. He had never experienced this kind of situation before, right?

Fortunately, Li Huaide also knew that this was the first time the two met, so he didn't let the two continue to be awkward. After all, this was his first time as a secretary, and it was also his first time seeing such a scene.

"Close the door, what are you doing out there?"

Li Huaide glanced at Li Ming, which was considered as a way of venting a little anger.

Li Ming then shrugged his shoulders and turned to close the door. This person should be the secretary of his cheap uncle. However, Li Ming always felt that according to Li Huaide's situation, he would be more suitable for a female secretary.

After all, what is a secretary for when there is something going on?

"Uncle Li, won't you introduce me to him?"

Li Ming sat down on the sofa and asked casually.

Li Huaide laughed out loud. This kid really didn't treat him as an outsider. But this is not bad.

"This is my new secretary. My last name is Wang. Secretary Wang."

Li Huaide stood up and pointed at Secretary Wang and introduced him to Li Ming. He then looked at Secretary Wang and said, "This is my nephew. He also works in our steel mill. He is a buyer in the third unit of the purchasing department. You two should get to know each other."

"Don't let this happen again next time, haha."

Li Huaide introduced himself to Secretary Wang again. Li Ming stood up, shook hands with Secretary Wang and said hello. This meant they were getting to know each other.

After all, Li Huaide is here, and if Secretary Wang is not stupid, he knows how to treat Li Ming.

"Secretary Wang, please make some tea. Don't make it too good. My nephew can't drink good tea."

Secretary Wang smiled and nodded, then turned around and went out to get some water.

Chapter 279 Beating the Autumn Wind

Secretary Wang was not stupid, so he naturally knew that he should avoid each other for now. After all, this was the first time they met, and they were not very familiar with each other. It was a good opportunity for them to separate and adjust.

"You haven't been to the factory for more than half a month, how come you are free today?"

Li Huaide asked knowingly, and Li Ming didn't make any excuses. He took out two boxes of special supply from his pocket and threw them on the desk, then took out an opened pack and gave Li Huaide one.

"I just stopped by to see you."

"You brat!" Li Huaide took the cigarette and cursed with a smile, "Are you going to beg for money again?"

As he said this, he glanced at the cigarettes on the table. Although Li Huaide was now the deputy factory director, he was still not at that level and still couldn't get this kind of cigarette.

Seeing that his eldest nephew sent two more boxes, he accepted them with a smile.

Although he, as an uncle, often takes advantage of Li Ming, it's not a big deal.

After all, he is not the kind of person who always takes advantage! He also helped Li Ming last time. Rather than talking about the relationship between the two of them as uncle and nephew, it is better to say that they help each other.

Li Ming nodded. "I met him last time when I went fishing in Jinshui River. Old Zhang threw me half a fish. I left two boxes for you."

"Next time I'll go get more from him and leave a few boxes for you. You know what, this stuff tastes really good."

"Okay, then your Uncle Li will be waiting."

Li Huaide was too lazy to be polite with Li Ming. Their relationship was quite comfortable and Li Huaide didn't mind.

"You are a man who never comes here for no reason. Tell me what you are doing here. You must have something to do!"

Li Huaide patted Li Ming on the shoulder and said jokingly.

"Hey, you are wise, I won't be polite."

"Just say no."

"You know more or less about our courtyard. The notorious fools from the steel mill are all in our courtyard. When I brought the grain to the steel mill this morning, the old man from the Yan family next door spotted me."

"It's not a big deal if he targets this one, but the problem is that we have to bring food to our steel mill every month from now on. If this happens too often, no one knows what those beasts in our yard are thinking. So they want to ask you for a favor. At least I, your nephew, won't suffer any loss, right?"

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand to make a gun shape, fearing that Li Huaide would not recognize it.

Li Ming stated his purpose with a smile, and Li Huaide listened very seriously. He also knew about the courtyard where Li Ming lived, and there were indeed all kinds of "talents" in it.

Moreover, when every household could not afford food, Li Ming still brought food to the steel mill every month. Even if this was food purchased by the steel mill, there was no guarantee what a group of starving people would do.

"Will it be useful?"

"Of course, our gun licenses were issued by the factory."

"That's easy. When Secretary Wang comes in a bit, I'll ask him to go to the security department to get you one. Just take it with you."

Li Huaide said calmly, "But we have an agreement in advance. This thing cannot be used indiscriminately. Do you understand?"

"Unless it really comes to the point you described, then it won't be a problem to shoot. Your uncle Li can also help you."

"It's not okay to mess around in normal times. Besides, you have the gun, and the bullets are limited. You need to go to the security department once a month to go through the procedures. I'll ask Secretary Wang to take you there when the time comes."

"Don't worry, Uncle Li. I'm not stupid, am I? I guess the biggest use of this gun in my hands is to scare the people in our yard."

Li Ming patted his chest loudly and started fighting to guarantee the victory.

"That's all. I know you're reliable, but as for those neighbors in your yard, you'd better pick a time to pick out a bad guy and give him a good beating. Just use the food issue to give him a good beating, and there won't be any other messes in the future."

Li Huaide was very relieved about Li Ming. The kid always acted in moderation and nothing would go wrong. Besides, even if he really fired a gun, it wouldn't be a big deal.

The times that Li Ming helped Li Huaide in emergencies were equivalent to firing a gun.

Sometimes shooting is indeed a big deal, but you also have to look at who fired it, right?

Rules always have a bottom line, but for some people with high values, the bottom line is flexible.

We all have gun licenses, and even if it means endangering the property of the steel mill, it is not impossible to get one.

But it would be a hassle if it could be avoided.

Li Ming agreed with what Li Huaide said, "Don't worry, I had this plan early this morning. I know very well what kind of people in our courtyard are like."

Li Ming had no intention of opening fire. At most, he wanted to use the deterrent power of this thing to suppress the group of beasts in the courtyard.

The past three years have been tough, and he is too lazy to risk his family's lives and property to test the conscience of these beasts. At the critical moment, pulling out a gun can be worth a lot of words.

Besides, if it comes to the point of shooting, this shot might not be as quick and effective as Li Ming's.

To be honest, even if those beasts in the courtyard were to attack him together, none of them individually could possibly get close to him!

Li Huaide nodded with satisfaction when he heard what his adopted nephew said. Look, now I feel relieved, don’t I?

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the office door, and the two men did not continue their conversation. As for the cigarette thrown on the desk, Li Huaide was too lazy to pick it up.

His secretary will know it sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

What's more, this secretary was trained by him personally, so he always has some trust in her.

"come in."

As soon as Li Huaide finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open. Secretary Wang came in and saw that the two of them were sitting in a very friendly position. Li Ming's status in his heart rose another level.

Carrying the kettle, Secretary Wang walked towards the desk. The only place in the room where one could make tea was Li Huaide's desk. Other places were obviously not suitable at the moment.

When Secretary Wang saw the special white cigarettes on the table, his pupils shrank. It was true that it was his first time as a secretary, but he still had some knowledge of it.

At least Li Huaide can't touch this kind of thing at his current level. Even if he is the director of a steel mill, he can only get two boxes like this in a year.

What's more, special supply and special supply are different.

There is no need to think about where the cigarettes came from. It can only be the nephew of Li Huaide who just came in. Not to mention improving Li Ming's position, the fact that he was able to throw two boxes of cigarettes to Li Huaide is something that Li Huaide is not surprised by.

There are so many things going on between these two people. Now Li Ming's status in Secretary Wang's mind is almost on the same level as Li Huaide!

Chapter 280 A pleasant conversation with Li Huaide

"Director, the tea is ready." Secretary Wang said as he held a cup of tea and respectfully placed it on a small tea table in front of Li Huaide and Li Ming.

Li Huaide nodded. "Okay, bring a cup to my good nephew as well, so that he won't say that I didn't care about him even having a cup of tea after coming here."

"Well, I don't have that idea, Secretary Wang, I can do it myself."

Li Ming walked up to Secretary Wang with a smile and got himself a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table.

Li Huaide rolled his eyes at Li Ming and said, "Come on, drink it, and get out of here when you're done!"

"You can go away, but you haven't done what you promised me yet."

Comrade Li Ming spread his hands to show his innocence.

"Don't worry, how can I forget it for you?"

Li Huaide took a sip of tea and immediately looked at Secretary Wang, "Secretary Wang, I'll have to trouble you to make another trip."

"You say, Director."

Secretary Wang bowed and said.

"Go to the security department and get a gun for my nephew. Keep it on file with the security department. It's not safe for my nephew to go out to buy things. Giving him a gun will put my nephew at ease."

"He carries it with him all the time. I ask him to go to the security department every month to go through the procedures to check the bullets."

"When the time comes, you can accompany him twice, and when he is familiar with the security department, you can let him go by himself."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Are there any requirements for the model of guns?"

Secretary Wang responded and looked at Li Ming.

"No requirements. I can basically use all the pistol models in our steel mill. Thank you for your hard work, Secretary Wang."

Li Ming also stood up at the right time and replied to Secretary Wang.
