Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 140 Plan
evening.

Zhou Weimin got out of the car, handed a cigarette to the driver, accepted the security inspection, and carried the things into the yard of Duan Weihong, Minister of Metallurgy.

Duan Weihong was watering the flowers in the yard. Seeing that he was holding something, he waved and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhou is here. Why are you bringing things? I have everything you need. Just come over next time."

Zhou Weimin walked over quickly and took a look at the flowers and plants. Just as Li Huaide said, they were basically common flowers and plants, but he really didn't recognize any except orchids.

Whether now or in his previous life, he has always been plant blind. Except for the particularly recognizable flowers and plants, he does not recognize any other ones.

"Mr. Duan, these are snacks made by the chef in our factory. Isn't the situation much better this year? I just want to ask the kitchen to make some snacks during the New Year and other holidays as a benefit for everyone. I thought I would come to your place today, so I brought some snacks over to let you see if these are suitable."

Duan Weihong put down the shower head, glanced at the oil paper bag and smiled, then turned to look at the flowers in front of him and said, "Oh? I forgot that you are the deputy director of the canteen. It's great that you think of fighting for the welfare of the workers. Do you recognize any of these flowers? If you like any, take a pot home later. It will add more color to your home."

Zhou Weimin pointed to a pot of flowers that were growing well and were about to bloom and said with a smile, "Mr. Duan, I really don't know much about flowers and plants. If you are willing to give it up, I will take that pot of flowers."

Duan Weihong looked in the direction he was looking at, nodded amiably, and then asked, "Why did you choose this one? Don't you want the ones that are already in bloom?"

"This pot is fine. I'm going to take it home for my wife to take care of it. I'll start with the buds and wait until it blooms. Only then will I be happy from the bottom of my heart. If I bring a blooming one home, I'm afraid my wife will be sad to see the flowers wither."

Zhou Weimin shook his head and expressed his thoughts softly.

"good."

Duan Weihong praised and said, "Just put the things on the table. Everything is ready in the kitchen. If there is anything missing, tell Xiaoyu and I will make it up next time I prepare something."

"Okay, Mr. Duan, I'll get busy first."

Zhou Weimin nodded, went into the house, put down the snacks, and went straight to the kitchen.

Duan Weihong washed his hands and went into the house. He opened the oil paper package on the table and was stunned when he saw the egg cake and egg rolls. He had never eaten these two snacks before.

Feeling the slight warmth on the egg cake, I couldn't help but smile silently. This Xiao Zhou... is quite interesting.

Soon, Zhou Weimin had prepared three dishes and a soup.

After serving the last dish, he returned to the kitchen and just took off his apron and was about to leave when his secretary Yu Guangqing came in and stopped him.

"Master Zhou, the leader invites you to have dinner together."

"Secretary Yu is too polite. Just call me Wei Min. Thank you for your help."

Zhou Weimin replied politely, washed his hands and followed him to the living room.

As soon as he entered the door, Duan Weihong smiled and patted the seat on his right, saying, "Xiao Zhou, come sit over here and have a couple of drinks with me, an old man."

Zhou Weimin sat down and poured wine for Duan Weihong, then asked, "Mr. Duan, do you like the dishes we made today?"

Duan Weihong raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Weimin's. He said cheerfully, "It tastes good, but it's a little bland."

He knew that this was not Zhou Weimin's problem, but that he was old and food didn't taste very good in his mouth anymore.

"Let's not talk about this, Xiao Zhou, I've tried the snacks you brought, they taste very good, and are no worse than the cakes bought. It's feasible to use them as welfare for the workers. But there is a problem, these snacks should all have eggs added, if you want to use them as welfare, the eggs are not a small number." "Mr. Duan, I've thought about this, we have a lot of people in our factory, it's impossible to distribute welfare together."

"Even if there are enough eggs, the canteen will be overwhelmed and it will delay the normal work of the canteen."

"What I want is to distribute the benefits separately, in order of completion of the workshop production tasks, and distribute them in one week. After the workers have received them, we will be given the benefits in administrative positions."

"This will not only reduce the pressure of purchasing, but also promote everyone's enthusiasm for production. At the same time, surrounding communes can also use eggs to exchange for some needed supplies."

Zhou Weimin had already made a series of plans since he planned to bring some snacks, and he naturally answered Duan Weihong's questions fluently.

Of course, this was the best case scenario he had expected. If Duan Weihong didn't ask, he wouldn't take the initiative to talk about these things.

"Yes, you have considered it very comprehensively. Ruizhong was right the other day. Huaide has a good vision."

Duan Weihong clapped his hands and chuckled, very satisfied with the plan.

It is rare to find someone who is not bound by formalities and is not limited to steel mills.

"Come on, stop talking and use your chopsticks. I don't want you to go back from my place hungry."

"Hey, Mr. Duan, let me toast you a glass."

Zhou Weimin picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Duan Weihong's without continuing to talk about snacks.

If the leader wants to know something, he will naturally ask. Talking to yourself will only annoy people.

Duan Weihong did not continue to talk about the things in the factory, but instead talked about his past experience of leading troops in battle with great interest.

Zhou Weimin agreed from time to time and did not stop eating. After the meal, he felt less restrained and his relationship with Duan Weihong became closer.

Relationships are built through such casual chats, not discussions about business.

The meal didn't take long for the two of them. In about half an hour, most of the dishes on the table had been eaten.

Zhou Weimin didn't eat much, but he ate two-thirds of the dishes on Duan Weihong's table.

My appetite is much better than before when I had dinner with Li Huaide, Lou Ruizhong and others.

"Wei Min, it's getting late today, so I won't keep you here. Come earlier next time, and we can play a few games together. Can you play military chess?"

Duan Weihong put down his chopsticks reluctantly, glanced at the clock on the wall, and patted Zhou Weimin on the shoulder.

He hadn't seen such a young man who was so appealing to him for a long time. Although he was brought by Li Huaide and his actions were somewhat influenced by that school, his purpose was to make a profit for himself.

This is almost the same as what he is doing now, the only difference is that he is in a higher position and the decisions he makes will affect more people.

Such young people deserve his attention so that their path can be smoother.
