The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Besides, it would be a good thing to let Li Rui go to the Propaganda Department to gain some training!

Li Huaide slapped Li Ming, "Why didn't you say so earlier? It just so happens that our steel mill is hiring recently, and I have a suitable reason to transfer Ruirui there."

Li Huaide did what he said. He took out a piece of paper and started writing. After he finished, he even stamped it.

You write the report and I approve the note!

"Okay, just take the note and Ruirui to the Propaganda Department. The Propaganda Department will take care of the rest."

Li Huaide arranged it very quickly. Now the Propaganda Department also belonged to him, Li Huaide, so this little thing was very convenient.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Li, goodbye Uncle Li!" Li Ming took the note and walked out without any reluctance.

After Li Ming left the office, Li Huaide smiled and shook his head, still cursing.

"This bastard, he really doesn't come here unless he has nothing to do!"

. . . . . .

"Brother, is that all?"

The young girl was still inexperienced and not very clear about the ins and outs of this matter. She had thought about going to the Propaganda Department earlier, but she didn't expect that this matter could be done with just a note?

Li Ming looked at his sister, feeling quite helpless. It really was like the old saying goes, the blessed people don't have to worry, while the unlucky people have to run themselves into a sweat!

Isn’t this little girl a blessed one?

"That's right. I'll take you to the Propaganda Section Chief's office. Once you get in, just give the note to your Propaganda Section Chief and that'll be all!"

Office of the Head of the Publicity Department of the Steel Rolling Mill.

"Okay, it's just a small matter!" After listening to what Li Ming said, Ma Baoguo, the head of the Propaganda Section, looked at the seal on the note personally approved by Li Huaide and said with a smile.

Not to mention that he, Ma Baoguo, is not from Li Huaide's faction now. As long as the procedures in Li Ming's hands are correct, he, Ma Baoguo, will not make things difficult for him.

What's more, Li Ming is now a little celebrity in the steel rolling mill.

“Thank you, Chief Ma!”*2.

Both the brother and sister thanked him politely.

"Okay, don't be polite. We are family from now on. Your sister can come to me if she has any problems." Ma Baoguo said with a smile.

As a member of Li Huaide's faction, how could he not know the relationship between Li Ming and Li Huaide? This is nothing.

"Section Chief Li, you can go back first. I'll take your sister to the Propaganda Department for a stroll. It's a good opportunity for us to get to know each other."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Li Mingle was at ease when he arrived at the Propaganda Department, and there were Liu Lanfang and Wu Xuanxuan to help look after her. Besides, the head of the Propaganda Department was also one of their own. If his sister could endure being bullied in the Propaganda Department, well, that would be really rare!

. . . . . .

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

After Li Ming finished taking care of his sister's affairs, he went straight home from the steel rolling mill. Since there was nothing else to do, he might as well have a good rest at home. Wouldn't it be nice to wait to go to the restaurant next door for dinner in the evening?

Chapter 385 Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng's Encounter

"Tsk, this weather is just like a baby's face. It's cloudy when it says it's going to be cloudy, and it's raining when it says it's going to rain!"

Li Ming, who was a little wet, carried the rocking chair back to the corridor cursing, found a place away from the rain and continued to lie down, cursing while looking at the drizzle in the sky.

This was considered lucky for him, as at least he didn't have to come home from get off work in the rain. As for his parents and sister, he didn't need to worry about them.

Every year at this time, their family would put umbrellas or raincoats in a small cabinet of their own in the steel rolling mill. Li Ming also put a raincoat in a small cabinet in the purchasing department. It doesn't matter whether it looks good or not, it can keep out the rain anyway.

He didn't have to cook today. He could just wait for his neighbor across the street to come back and have a meal. Li Ming lit a cigarette happily and looked at Xiaoyu comfortably in the corridor.

It's extremely hot these days, so it would be nice to have a little rain. However, it certainly won't do much good for the dry land, it can only cool down the place.

"Damn, only you know how to enjoy it!" Wu Qiangguo and Li Weiguo appeared from the hanging flower gate in the front yard, followed by Liu Lanfang, Wu Xuanxuan and his sister Li Rui.

Comrade Lao Li saw Li Ming lying happily on the recliner under the eaves of the corridor and laughed and scolded him in an unbalanced mood.

"Well, I've just finished my work. Besides, this is the factory's requirement. Why do I have to report in after I've finished my work every month?"

Li Ming laughed cheerfully. Although they were all wearing raincoats, their ankles and shoes were still a little wet.

"It's good that it's raining. It will cool us down a bit. I was so hot and stuffy when I slept last night. It was so uncomfortable!"

Engineer Wu stood under the eaves, took off his raincoat, and took a deep breath of the rainy air, which was moist and comfortable!

"Hey, Lao Wu, why are you taking off your raincoat? You still have to go shopping later!" Liu Lanfang said dissatisfiedly when she saw Wu Qiangguo working so hard.

Well, now the good mood of the Wuhan University engineer disappeared immediately. He looked at the raincoat he had just taken off and could only put it on again with his head down.

"I thought I didn't need to buy anything." Wu Qiangguo responded sullenly, which made Comrade Lao Li laugh.

"Let's go, let's go buy some wine and some cooked food. Drinking a little can help us get a good night's sleep in this weather. When the children come back, we can go out shopping without any worries, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go quickly and drink more tonight!" Wu Qiangguo immediately perked up when he heard what Li Weiguo said. There would definitely be no one to stop him from drinking tonight, and the weather was good, so he could also get a good sleep, right?

Hey, I'm suddenly in a good mood again!

The two middle-aged men put on raincoats and walked out arm in arm. Before they even walked out of the Chuihua Gate, they met Comrade Wu Fang who was also coming back from get off work.

After a timid conversation between Comrade Li Weiguo and Comrade Wu Fang, both sides were finally satisfied.

After these women chattered and walked to the Wu family, Li Ming continued to lie on the recliner and rocked back and forth. There was nothing for him to do, so he just had to wait for dinner.

. . . . . .

"Wow! Brother Damao, what's going on with you?" Li Ming looked at the disheveled Xu Damao with surprise and asked curiously.

Xu Damao's raincoat was torn into several pieces. Not only was his head soaked by the rain, but mud and water were also dripping from his forehead. If you didn't know better, you would have thought he had fallen into a ditch!

Xu Damao rubbed his face with a gloomy look on his face, and carefully put the bicycle under the eaves, "Do you have a cigarette? Mingzi."

"Yes, yes." Li Ming handed it over hurriedly, with a gossipy gleam in his eyes.

Xu Damao lit up the cigarette and took a deep puff. He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Chuihua Gate. "You can tell by looking at that idiot Yan Jiecheng."

Li Ming took the opportunity to look over and saw that Yan Jiecheng was in an even more miserable state, like a little clay figure!

"What happened? Did you two have a fight on the road?" Li Ming started to inquire cheerfully.

Xu Damao exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "What bad luck! I rode my bike a little too fast, but I pressed the bell!"

"As a result, when I turned a corner, I was almost hit to death by this idiot Yan Jiecheng! Fortunately, my bicycle was not broken, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money!"

Xu Damao kept cursing and his resentment towards Yan Jiecheng reached its peak.

Li Ming also laughed. He didn't expect that he could watch such a good show today!

"Didn't that bastard ask you to compensate him?"

"What a shame! I haven't even found him for my bicycle!" Comrade Xu Damao cursed. "It's ok that the bastard walks without eyes, but he doesn't even have ears!"

"Don't donate it! I was already in a bad mood because of the rain, and I bumped into this idiot, Zhuo!"

Li Ming smiled and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder. "Okay, Damao, don't be angry for now. Go back and change your clothes early to avoid catching a cold, which will cause more trouble later."

"Yes, yes, you are right. You were just too angry. Chao! I'll go back to Mingzi first!" Xu Damao woke up as if from a dream, patted his head, and then pushed his bicycle to the backyard quickly.

"Mingzi, what was Xu Damao talking to you about just now? I heard you laughing from inside the room." Wu Xuanxuan pushed open the door, stuck her head out and asked curiously.

Before Li Ming could say anything, Li Rui's head popped out from under Wu Xuanxuan's head.

Oh my goodness, you two didn't go to help, but were eavesdropping behind the door! And you didn't even hear it all!

"Weren't you two eavesdropping just now?"

Wu Xuanxuan blushed, "Just now, it was raining, I couldn't hear it all."

Li Ming's mouth twitched. "You are really honest. You even came out to ask."

Wu Xuanxuan pushed the door open, walked quickly to the recliner, and looked down at him, "Will you tell me?"

This posture suddenly made Li Ming stunned. Hey, you know what, this girl looks pretty good when you look at her from the bottom up! Her puffy little face and slightly angry almond eyes are so pretty!

Li Ming glanced from top to bottom again. This time he was quite close. Comrade Li seemed to be able to smell the faint fragrance from the girl.

"Oh, just now Xu Damao was riding his bike back and bumped into Yan Jiecheng!" Li Ming spread his hands.

You blushed when the girls saw you just now, why don't you change the subject quickly? Li Rui also jumped out from the side, grabbed Li Ming's arm, and asked him to say it again. Only then did the two girls let Li Ming go.

However, Wu Xuanxuan's face was a little flushed. The way Li Ming looked at her just now made the young girl feel a little unbearable!

Fortunately, Li Rui came out later, otherwise the girl wouldn’t know what to do!

Chapter 386: Sloppy Meeting

It was the end of another month, the last day. The new chief of the third section of the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill got up early and dressed himself up, which surprised Comrade Lao Li.

"Mingzi, what are you doing?" Comrade Li Weiguo asked in surprise.

Li Ming waved his hand. "Today is the first time that I, as the section chief, have officially appeared in public. A few days ago, Li Huaide told me that a new employee will join the company today. As the section chief, shouldn't I pay attention to my image?"

"Oh, I had forgotten that our son is the head of the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill." Father Li pursed his lips and complained to his wife.

Li's mother laughed out loud. Comrade Li was typically sour, so sour!

"Brother, let's go to work together today!"

"Of course, stop talking nonsense, let's eat quickly, and then we'll go!" Li Ming washed his face carefully, "Mom, I don't know when I will come over today. If I come back late, you can cook dinner."

"Okay, Mom got it." Li's mother said as she brushed off the dust on Li Ming's clothes.

. . . . . .

Office of Section 3, Purchasing Department of Steel Rolling Mill.

Li Ming took the food and threw it in a corner, then took out a large front door from the space and threw it on the desk, poured a cup of hot water, and then sat down on the throne of the section chief.

"Tsk tsk, not bad, this feels really good!" Li Ming rubbed the chair under him and muttered, "Before I became the section chief, I didn't feel anything when I sat on this chair. Now I finally feel it!"

Less than half an hour after waiting, four salted fish came together, each carrying more than 30 kilograms of food in their hands, and they rushed into the office in a lively manner.

"Morning, Chief!"

"Good morning, Chief Li!"

"Hehe, look, it's still our Mingzi! Sitting here is much better than Lao Xu!"

"That's for sure. Old Xu is going to retire soon, haha!"

Several people chatted and laughed, and there was no alienation because Li Ming was the section chief. The atmosphere was very good. Li Ming opened a big front door and threw a box to each of them.

Section chiefs come and go, but the salted fish remains!

This group of old friends came so early because they had received the news early on that a new person would be joining their department today, and they needed to get to know each other. After all, they are old employees, so they still have to maintain a good image in front of the newcomer on the first day.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are quite a few new people this time. If you say there are only one or two, that would not be the case.

Li Ming followed Xu Qiang's previous work process, weighing each item one by one and settling the bill. He worked like an assembly line before taking a sip of water and lighting a cigarette.

"Brothers, I'm going to a meeting soon and I don't know when I'll be back. You can just go and eat when it's time for dinner. You don't have to wait for me."

"If there are new people coming this afternoon, you guys can help them get familiar with them."

"Okay, don't worry."

"These are all small matters. I just hope that we can get some good news from this meeting today."

"Well, at least there can be more new people today, right?"

"We have become old men."

“Aren’t we always old people?”

"Tsk...you really mean it when you say that!"

Li Ming looked at the scene speechlessly. He didn't know why, but after the four lazy guys got together, they couldn't even talk about business anymore and would turn the topic to Java. This was their characteristic.

He raised his wrist to check the time. Well, it was almost ten o'clock. He had to go to their logistics conference room for a meeting. Li Ming put a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes in his pocket, said hello to a few salted fish and walked out.

A large conference room.

Li Huaide sat down in the main seat. Although he was the last one to arrive, he still had to introduce the big boss first.

The head of the purchasing department, his three younger brothers, and various managers and leaders of the logistics department. Li Ming glanced around the room and saw no less than 20 people.

"Wow, there are so many termites!" Li Ming complained in his heart, "But I am also one of the termites, how great."
