Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Chapter 496: 23 things about supplies, New Year arrangements

"Xiao Wang, why are you sitting so far away? Come sit next to me!"

After entering the private room, Wang Hongtao sat down near the door as usual, ready to pour wine and serve the table.

But he was stopped by Director Li.

"Well... Director Li, I'll just sit here. But when the time comes, I..." Wang Hongtao still wanted to hold on.

As a result, Li Huaide waved his hand again, pointed to the seat on his left and said, "Come over here if I tell you to! No one else is allowed to sit in this seat today, I'll keep it for you!"

Other leaders took the initiative to make way and helped persuade him: "Yes, Chief Wang, if Director Li asks you to go, just go. You can't reject the director's kindness."

"Yes, yes, yes. Chief Wang's speech today was truly thought-provoking. You are absolutely qualified for this position..."

"this...."

Wang Hongtao bowed to everyone and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, leaders. I will be unrestrained today!"

When we first started drinking tea and eating fruit plates, everyone was still a little reserved and spoke politely, but after a few glasses of wine, the scene suddenly became lively.

As the conversation went on, the topic inevitably turned to the supplies of New Year's goods, and everyone present began to complain about the purchasing department's ineffectiveness.

The major material information departments that Li Huaide contacted were all within the plan, but most of the things within the plan had to be distributed. The leaders were more concerned about those outside the plan, as those were where they could make some moves.

Chief Zhuang of the Purchasing Department was also quite helpless about this: "Dear leaders and colleagues, it's not that I'm not working hard, it's really because of the shortage of materials that I can't do anything!"

"The buyers we sent down all said that the villagers don't recognize money or purchase orders, and only accept barter. What you are doing makes me..."

“I can’t help it…”

Among those present, those who had asked Wang Hongtao for help smiled slightly, while the rest who didn't know about it were scratching their heads and were very anxious.

Seeing this, Section Chief Zhuang looked at Li Huaide inquiringly, but saw Li Huaide smiling at him, and immediately rolled his eyes.

"You may not know this yet? When it comes to the ability to deal with materials, I, Zhuang, admire Chief Wang the most! If it weren't for the fact that my temple is small, I wouldn't be able to invite Chief Wang to come. I would have wanted to ask Director Li to transfer you to our purchasing department.

If Section Chief Wang is willing to help, I dare not say that you all need to meet the full amount, but at least 70% or 80%!"

.......

"Is there still such a thing?"

"Yes, Chief Zhuang, you can't joke about this. You can't do it yourself and want to pass the blame? That won't do!"

The cadres below began to discuss.

Seeing that Li Huaide still looked confident, and Wang Hongtao slightly pursed his lips without refuting, how could he not know what the situation was?

Everyone speculated that the so-called Section Chief Wang was very capable and could get supplies, but that was probably fake, and the real person was Li Huaide standing behind him!

In their eyes, Wang Hongtao was just Li Huaide's spokesperson. As the factory director, Li Huaide was afraid that everyone would feel embarrassed to ask him for help, so he asked Wang Hongtao to help everyone.

It is normal for colleagues of the same level to help each other, so they were very enthusiastic and concerned about each other.

Wang Hongtao also responded to some reasonable requests in a timely manner.

With Li Huaide's endorsement and Cui Dake's support, Wang Hongtao's shipping plan was in full swing for a while.

In the workplace, more friends mean more paths, more enemies mean more walls, and you’re never afraid of having too many helpers.

As a result, colleagues got the materials they wanted, Li Huaide got the prestige he wanted, and Wang Hongtao also gained favors from his colleagues and Li Huaide's respect.

After everyone got what they wanted, they toasted each other and the atmosphere was very lively.

We ate until about two o'clock, and after deciding on the time and place to pick up the New Year's goods, everyone dispersed.

Wang Hongtao came up to Director Li and handed him two small porcelain bottles, whispering, "Brother Li, this is a New Year's gift from the old Chinese doctor. He said it can help with health. I worked very hard to get it!"

Li Huaide patted Wang Hongtao on the shoulder in appreciation: "Good boy! My appreciation of you is worth it."

Li Huaide is not short of money or supplies, what he lacks are rare items for health care. Only when you can give someone what he likes can you be called a good gift giver!

After finishing the work at the steel mill, Wang Hongtao went to Zhang Na first and told her about the arrangements for the next few days. He could still work at the steel mill, but it was not as comfortable as his own place.

When I got to the dormitory, I found Liu Yanan was still there.

Before he could speak, Zhang Na said, "Brother Wang, Sister Liu has been waiting for you here. She said she wanted to say goodbye to you in person."

Look at Liu Yanan again, she seems to be hesitant to speak, and looks charming and shy. How could she not know what to do?

He closed the door with his heel, hugged her, and walked to the bed.

"Bad guy, I can't seem to live without you..." Liu Yanan murmured softly with a dazed look in his eyes.

Wang Hongtao chuckled: "Then don't leave. I'll support you."

......

After the passion, Liu Yanan finally chose to leave. In her words, although she went back, her heart remained here.

Wang Hongtao sneered at this and said that Nana was the best and her heart was with her.

"Nana, I'll take you to a place later. It's safe and secluded. You can stay there during the New Year holidays. I'll come early on New Year's Eve and we'll celebrate the New Year together." Wang Hongtao said to Zhang Na, while he touched his forehead and pinched her cheek lightly.

"Yeah! I'll listen to you. Will you take me there later?" Zhang Na narrowed her eyes, and her two eye bags were like full crescents.

"Well, I'll take you there, but there's another girl going with you. She's Doctor Ding from our factory's infirmary. Do you have any impression of her?"

"Doctor Ding? Is she yours too?" Although Zhang Na was a little surprised, she also felt it was normal. Her man was good in every way except that he was unfaithful. But then again, if he wasn't unfaithful, she wouldn't have any business.

Wang Hongtao nodded and said, "On New Year's Eve, I will bring my wife and a few neighbors over. It's the New Year, so it should be lively and exciting."

"They are all easy to get along with. You will know when you meet them."

"Oh, then I understand." Zhang Na nodded in approval.

"Then pack your things first. When it's almost time, I'll ride my bike to the dormitory building. When you hear the bell, get off and follow me."

"Ok!"

"So good!" Wang Hongtao kissed Zhang Na, then turned around and went to Ding Qiunan.

......

When we arrived at Ding Qiunan's dormitory, the beautiful doctor was staring at the snow outside the window in a daze.

"Hey, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Wang Hongtao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ding Qiunan.

"Oh! When did you come in? Why couldn't I hear any sound at all?" Ding Qiunan said in surprise when she saw Wang Hongtao coming over, and then stretched out her hand for Wang Hongtao to hold.

"It's been a while. Seeing you were so absorbed in the reading, I didn't want to disturb you. But you became more and more interested. I thought if I didn't call you, you could watch until night."

"Hehe." Ding Qiunan smiled foolishly.
