The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Li Ming was very satisfied. He had finally penetrated into the inner circle of the leadership. He looked from afar at the big boss who was drinking tea and reading newspaper in the main seat. Others who were familiar with him smoked together, while those who were unfamiliar with him smoked alone. Secretary Wang stood behind Li Huaide and served him.

Soon, the entire conference room was filled with smoke.

It was not until 11 o'clock that Li Huaide cleared his throat and said two sentences, just two sentences.

"No instructions were given at this meeting. Just do your job well. We'll keep an eye on the newcomers this afternoon."

"Purchasing will continue according to the previous quantity. Everything else is fine. Let's adjourn the meeting!"

Okay, Li Mingmu Deng dog brought after watching this sloppy meeting, it was really fucking fooling people! I don't know how Xu Qiang got through it before.

However, Director Xu was there this time, sitting next to Li Ming. He was extremely calm and one could tell at a glance that he was a veteran.

Li Ming walked out of the meeting room in a dull mood, lowered his head and sniffed the cigarette smell on his body. It can only be said that it was pickled...

. . . . . .

In the afternoon, in the office of Section 3 of the Purchasing Department of the Steel Rolling Mill.

Li Ming sat behind his desk, drinking tea and reading the newspaper, bored, with boredom written all over his face.

The four salted fish were feeling sleepy. One of them was holding a cigarette and waiting with his head down for the three new people who were going to arrive today.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

"I remember we finished it around noon!"

"Really? You guys are all so slow, Chao! I was thinking of going back early to catch up on some sleep!"

"Those managers were smoking in the conference room this morning. I guess our people will have to wait for a while." Li Ming interrupted. In the morning, a bunch of parasites were smoking in the conference room. How could anyone take care of the newcomers to the steel mill?

At most, they have to go through the procedures at the personnel department, and then these people will wait with empty stomachs for the leaders on the logistics side.

Joining the company is not something that can be decided by the personnel department alone. The rest is in the hands of logistics, that is, the people under Li Huaide. It would be a rare opportunity for these unlucky new employees to report for work early!

The four salted fishes finally reacted and rolled their eyes.

"Good fellow, wait, I almost forgot about this!"

"Wait a minute, it won't take a while, but we don't have enough cigarettes!"

Li Ming couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. There were new people here today, so there weren't many cigarette butts on the ground. However, several of them were smoking with ashtrays in their hands, and there were at least 20 cigarette butts in each ashtray!

Li Ming glanced at the half-carton of cigarette on the table and threw it over. "Open the window, ventilate it, and then continue lighting it!"

Zhou Tian jumped up and caught half a pack of cigarettes. There were exactly four packs left, one for each person! Wang Jun was close to the window, so he walked over and opened it. A breath of fresh air came into the office, and everyone threw away the idea of ​​being sleepy!

Chapter 387: Newcomers in Purchasing Three Stocks

The five of them waited until around two o'clock in the afternoon before someone knocked on the office door. They had already been drowsy for a long time, but now they finally saw hope.

"Come in!" Li Ming shouted, signaling with his eyes that they should put away the ashtrays in their hands. The four salted fishes smiled and quickly hid their ashtrays.

After the door was opened, a young man came in. He looked to be in his twenties and had a good-looking appearance, except for his two thick and long eyebrows which were a bit distracting.

The young man was stunned when he saw that the person sitting in the main seat was someone who looked younger than him, but he reacted quickly and took two quick steps to put the information on Li Ming's desk.

"Hello, Chief. Here is my information. My name is Huang Xian. I am reporting to the steel mill today!"

The young man has a good voice and is full of energy.

Li Ming took the information and took a look at it. Well, he was average, not highly educated, a local from Beijing, 26 years old, not bad.

"Okay, on behalf of our Purchasing Section 3, I welcome Comrade Huang Xian." Li Ming said with a smile. In fact, there was no need for him to worry too much, it was just a matter of taking a look and getting familiar with the situation.

As for the remaining procedures, we still have the four salted fishes, otherwise why do you think we called them here today?

"Zhou Tian, ​​Comrade Huang Xian is now in your charge. You can take him through the following procedures so that he can get familiar with the situation in our purchasing department." Li Ming knocked on the table. "By the way, before he becomes a regular employee, he will be given a monthly quota of 20 kilograms of food, just like we had back then. We'll talk about it after he becomes a regular employee."

"Okay, Chief, leave it to me." Zhou Tian happily accepted the task and walked out with Huang Xian.

After the two people left the office, the four people inside began to chatter.

"Hey, this child's name is interesting, Huang Xian, meaning idle person's idle!" Li Ming said with a smile while crossing his legs.

The remaining three salted fish were also happy after hearing this. They didn’t expect that he was so idle!

"Those two eyebrows are really powerful!"

"Yes, but this child looks good!"

"Are you from our local area? Mingzi?"

Li Ming nodded, "Of course, we are recruiting people at this time. I guess the newcomers here today are all from Sijiu City. I guess they all have some abilities in Sijiu City. Otherwise, how are we going to get food?"

"That's true, but now that they're here, our group is bustling. I hope there will be a few more in the future."

"Haha, you want to be a master too?"

"Well, there's no such thing as a master when we're purchasing. We just need someone to talk to. It wouldn't be that interesting if there were only five of us."

"That's right, Mingzi. Give me the next one!" Wu Gang grinned, showing his big yellow teeth.

"Okay, no need to fight for this thing, haha!" It doesn't matter who it is, Li Ming doesn't mind at all.

A few people had been chatting for less than five dollars when there was a knock on the office door again. Li Ming felt that their door would be opened more frequently in the future.

"Come in!"

Another young man, he looked a little shy, with a dark complexion, not sure if it was congenital or acquired, but his two big eyes were bright and he looked very energetic.

Although the newcomer looked young like Li Ming, he did not froze in shock and placed the information steadily on the desk in front of Li Ming.

"Hello, Chief Li, my name is Yan Xing, and I'm here to report today."

As for why everyone knows that the section chief’s surname is Li, the Personnel Department has already made it clear. If you can’t even remember this little thing, then don’t come to the steel mill. Just go find another job to dig the soil as soon as possible!

Li Ming picked up the information and took a look at it with a smile. Hmm, 25 years old, a native of Sijiucheng, and a technical secondary school student. Not bad, very well educated!

"Yes, we have another technical secondary school student in our department, that's good!" Li Ming said with a smile.

The eyes of the remaining three lazy guys lit up. The former technical secondary school graduate is now sitting in the position of section chief. Wow, there’s another one coming this time!

"Old Wu, I'm leaving the person to you. Take Comrade Yan Xing through the rest of the process." Li Ming handed the documents to Wu Gang and looked at Yan Xing. "Before he becomes a regular employee, he will be given a monthly quota of 20 kilograms of food. We'll talk about it after he becomes a regular employee."

"Okay, Chief!"

After the two men left the office, there were only three of them left, but it did not affect the liveliness in the office at all.

"Mingzi, is there anyone behind?"

"That's right, we two brothers also want to have fun!"

Li Ming threw two cigarettes to the two men in a bad mood, "How should I know? But the personnel department told me last time that all four of you should come. If each of you brings one, there must be two!"

Li Ming rubbed his chin again. His beard had grown a little. He had to go to the barber shop. It was a good opportunity to cut his hair and trim his beard as well.

At present, the state-owned barber shops in Sijiu City are of very good standard and provide comprehensive services, which is very beautiful!

"Let's wait a little longer. It's not even three o'clock yet. There's no rush."

"Well, we are bored."

"I smoked too much today and my throat hurts!"

"Do you want to smoke or not? If not, give it to me!"

"Get lost! I won't even give it to you even if I clip your ears!"

Li Ming looked at the two salted fish choking his mouth with a smile. He didn't smoke much today, so they were a little pickled and tasted uncomfortable. If he finished early, he would go to the bathhouse for a long bath!

"Dong dong."

The three brothers looked at each other and laughed.

"We are very busy receiving customers today!" Zheng Ping said with a smile.

"Go to hell!" Wang Jun retorted.

"Come in!"

Li Ming shouted, Wow, it’s not just one person this time, there are two!

The two of them came in together and formed a pair!

The two of them respectfully placed the documents on the desk, then stepped back a few steps, "Hello, Chief Li."

"Okay, who of you will introduce yourself first?" Li Ming asked with a smile as he looked at the two people in front of him.

A fat guy on the left took a half step forward and said, "Hello, Chief Li. My name is Fan Daju, I'm 25 years old, and I'm from Sijiucheng."

Li Ming nodded. This little fat boy looked festive and his name was funny too, Daju, which means big horse!

He is from the old city and a local. He was not recruited from a technical secondary school. That means he has some connections. Nowadays, if someone is fat, you can tell his background.

"Old Zheng, this Comrade Fan Daju is for you. Just take him to the back to go through the procedures. You can go home directly after you are done."

He turned to look at the two people and said, "Before you become regular employees, you will have a quota of 20 kilograms of food per month. We can talk about it after you become regular employees. Is that okay?"

The two of them nodded in unison, and Zheng Jun happily took the fat boy out of the door, leaving another young man in the room.

Chapter 388 New Colleagues and New Neighbors

"Hello, Chief. My name is Miao Jing. I'm also 25 this year and a native of our city." Miao Jing seems to be a cheerful guy and speaks in a lively tone. He doesn't look that good, but he has no problem finding a partner. He is much better than that idiot He Yuzhu.

Li Ming nodded, then picked up his information and took a look. There was nothing wrong with it. If nothing unexpected happened, it was a backdoor, which was acceptable.

In fact, it is best for a buyer these days to have some connections and some background, so that it is comfortable to work with them!

"Lao Wang, I'll leave the young man to you, go through the process."

Wang Jun had been waiting for this sentence. He touched his head and smiled, "Leave it to me. You can wait and see."

When Li Ming was the only one left in the office, he finally sat back in his chair comfortably and let out a long sigh. He had been slacking off for so long that it felt awkward to get serious occasionally!

"For four people, each person will receive 20 kilograms of food per month. After three months, they will be converted to regular employees, which means I have some extra manpower." Li Ming tapped the table with his fingers and pondered.

After sitting on the chair and enjoying the time of slacking off for about 20 minutes, Li Ming picked up his clothes and went out. He had to get a haircut and then take a bath. He had done a lot of important things today, so he wanted to reward himself.

When Si Xianyu brought the four newcomers back to the office, they were all surprised. Where was the section chief who was there just now?

There was a hint of clarity in each of their eyes, with an occasional flash of stupidity that made the four salted fish laugh.

Zhou Tian clapped his hands to attract attention, "You should all know the situation of our purchasing department. This is basically the situation."

The four newcomers nodded, and the other three lazy guys lost their serious look at this moment, and sat in their seats in a sloppy manner and started to smoke.

"Come once at the end of every month and bring 20 kilograms of food. The section chief and I will be there by then, and everything will be fine after we're done. This is how our purchasing department works right now."

The little fat man raised his hand, and Zhou Tian nodded, "Brother Tian, ​​does that mean we only need to come once a week at the end of the month?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, yes."

The fat guy looked at the three new colleagues around him and laughed. What a great job!

"Do you three have any questions?"

"No more."*3.

"That's fine, let's break up! See you in the office on the last day of next month." After Zhou Tian said this, he hurriedly left the office with the three old hands. The four newcomers who hadn't reacted were still confused.

"Is that... the end?"

"That should be the case. The section chief and our master are both gone, right?"

"I always feel like something is wrong!"

"Well, what's wrong? Just bring 20 kilograms of food to report for duty next month!" The little fat boy Fan Daju rubbed his fat face happily.

"Okay, see you next month?"

"See you next month!"

. . . . . .

Li Ming walked out of the bathhouse slowly with his half-wet and half-dry shaved head and took a deep breath.

"My goodness, this bathhouse is so stuffy! Luckily I got a haircut first, otherwise with my wet head, I would have thought I fell into the river!"

After mumbling a few words, Li Ming ran towards the courtyard. It was already past five o'clock. He estimated that his mother would have been cooking dinner at home. It would be just right for him to have a ready-made meal when he returned home.

The courtyard of the steel rolling mill.

Li Ming had just stepped into the outer courtyard through the gate when he saw someone busy in the back room. It was not dark yet, so he could still see clearly. However, after Li Ming saw clearly, he realized that it was not dark anymore.
