Chapter 361 Preparations in Advance
Li Qin was a smart man, and naturally he understood the meaning behind Li Huaide's words.
Although he found it somewhat amusing, Li Qin smiled and nodded, since it was Li Huaide's good intention.
"Don't worry, Uncle Li, I know what I'm doing."
Hearing Li Qin say this, Li Huaide felt a little relieved.
The two chatted casually for a while, and as it was almost lunchtime, Li Huaide asked Li Qin a question.
"What are your plans for lunch today? Are you going to eat with me in the cafeteria, or do you have something else in mind?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Qin then spoke:
"Uncle Li, I won't have lunch with you. I'd better send the money to Mengyuan first. The longer this matter drags on, the more worried I'll become."
Of course, what he said was false.
In reality, he just felt that the food in the cafeteria was just average, and even the special meals that Li Huaide ate were only so-so at best.
It's not that great.
At least compared to the dishes he made using the magic of life, there is still some difference.
That's why I declined Li Huaide's invitation.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Li Huaide nodded in agreement.
"You're right, it's best to settle the payment with Mengyuan as soon as possible."
Through the supplies they obtained, Li Huaide felt even greater awe for the power of Meng Yuan and his group.
Putting aside the difficult-to-obtain supplies, the fact that the other side was able to quietly deliver several thousand kilograms of pork into Beijing is remarkable.
This is something that not everyone can do.
It's no longer just a matter of power; it's about having immense influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds.
There are advantages to doing business with such people, but caution is still necessary.
After Li Huaide finished speaking, he immediately took out a bulging envelope from the drawer.
"This is the payment due to the other party. The list is in the envelope. When you give it to them, have them check it."
Li Qin nodded and took the envelope.
He noticed that the envelope was sealed and stamped with the official seal of the steel rolling mill's purchasing department.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin didn't even look at it seriously, but simply carefully put it into his handbag.
When Li Huaide saw that Li Qin had discovered the unusual contents of the envelope, he showed no curiosity or intention to investigate.
A look of satisfaction flashed in Li Huaide's eyes.
He then began to explain;
"Handling the envelope this way can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble, especially for you."
Li Qin understood the meaning behind those words.
Once the envelope was sealed, he only needed to hand it over to "Meng Yuan" intact; then Li Qin would simply be a deliveryman.
Even if problems arise, they won't have much to do with Li Qin.
Of course, this is on the condition that Li Qin does not open the envelope.
Once Li Qin opens the envelope, he will definitely damage the seal, and then it will be difficult for him to explain.
Li Qin smiled and said to Li Huaide;
"I understand, Uncle Li!"
Upon seeing this, Li Huaide smiled as well.
At this moment, Li Qin prepared to get up and leave;
"Uncle Li, now that I've got the goods, I'll go deliver them. Having so much money in my hands is still a lot of pressure for me."
If it's accidentally lost, or if some other accident occurs, that would be a real problem.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Li Huaide nodded earnestly.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately left.
After leaving Li Huaide's office, Li Qin first went to the purchasing department to say hello before riding his bicycle away from the steel rolling mill.
"I have the rest of the day to do my own things."
As Li Qin rode his bicycle toward the nearest hidden courtyard house, he thought to himself.
He had already decided that he would first go into the suitcase space to eat, and then go deep into Shennongjia to find the special alchemical materials he needed.
Moreover, for future convenience, Li Qin also plans to transplant some things into his space during his trip to Shennongjia.
In this way, if he needs materials again in the future, he won't need to search for them everywhere.
You can take it directly from your portable pagoda space.
Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Qin also successfully returned to Beijing from Shennongjia.
"This harvest has been quite substantial, and I believe we won't need to worry about alchemy materials for a while."
Using Apparition to return to the hidden courtyard, Li Qin's face was full of smiles.
He originally planned to return after collecting materials in Shennongjia.
However, considering that we still need to build a fourth layer of pagoda space.
So I went to other places and collected a lot of other materials;
Minerals, crystals....
Li Qin would collect anything he felt he needed.
Now, apart from the most crucial gold and silver, almost all other materials are in place.
Li Qin rested for a while before preparing to complete some preparatory work.
For example, after purifying the ore and processing the raw materials, once all these things are processed, and other materials are available, he can start refining gold directly.
It can save a lot of time.
By the time Li Qin had finished processing all the raw materials and even completed the casting of the pagoda's body, several hours had passed and the sky was beginning to darken.
"I didn't expect it to get dark so quickly. It seems I need to put what I'm doing aside for now, have some food, and then go to class."
Li Qin calculated that if he chose to go back to the No. 95 courtyard house first, then cook and eat, and then go to class,
There might not be enough time.
So I decided not to go back to the courtyard house for now.
It's okay to go back after class in the evening.
Anyway, there's nothing much going on in the courtyard house.
And indeed, things turned out just as Li Qin had imagined.
Although at first the residents of the courtyard house had some doubts when they saw that Li Qin had not returned for two days.
However, he forgot about it as soon as he turned around.
After all, Li Qin is a purchasing agent, so it's normal for him to frequently go to the countryside to purchase goods and not be able to go home.
Besides, everyone has their own things to do, so why would they care about someone who has no vested interest in them?
If we're talking about who in the courtyard would really worry about Li Qin, it's probably only Xu Damao.
Unfortunately, Xu Damao has been showing movies in the countryside with Xu Fugui lately and hasn't been at the courtyard house at all.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner, which holds extraordinary significance for Chinese people.
So the authorities issued an order to all the major film studios, requiring their projectionists to go to the countryside to show movies to farmers.
This is a mission.
The steel rolling mill currently only has Xu Damao, a half-baked projectionist, and Xu Fugui, a full-time projectionist.
Therefore, it will definitely be a tough time for a while.
However, Xu Damao and Xu Fugui were not opposed to it. Although showing movies in the countryside was hard work, they could also gain some benefits in the process.
Not to mention that you'll be treated to lavish meals wherever you go, you'll also receive a lot of gifts when you leave.
Without these benefits, who would be willing to spend their days wandering around the countryside showing movies?
