Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 58 Warmth
Xiang Yuqing stood up, took the bottle of wine and walked to Zhou Weimin, and asked with a smile: "Oh? Then I have to drink a few more glasses with Comrade Weimin today. Weimin, can you drink?"

Zhou Weimin held the wine glass and bowed slightly. After the wine was filled, he smiled and said, "Hey, Director Xiang, you are too polite. There is no reason why you can't drink. I will make sure you enjoy it."

Xiang Yuqing poured some more wine for the others and said half-jokingly, "Old Li, your steel mill is great, with so many talented people. Unlike our factory, I can't even find a capable person to help me."

"Old Xiang, you're here again. If it were easy, there wouldn't be just a few of us here today."

Li Huaide shook his head and chuckled. Big companies have their advantages, but there are also many things to consider. Otherwise, he would not have been able to stay in this position for so long with such a small team.

Xiang Yuqing poured wine for everyone, sat down again, and then introduced himself in a loud voice: "Hahaha, good for you, Old Li, you're pretending to be me. Weimin, I'm Xiang Yuqing, the director of the Northern Suburbs Iron and Steel Plant. We should visit each other more often in the future."

"I'm Yuan Shihong, from the Northern Suburbs Strip Mill. Come and have dinner with me when you have time."

Yuan Shihong also introduced himself immediately.

Li Huaide stood up at the right time, raised his glass and said, "Okay, we all know each other now. There will be plenty of time to walk around and drink in the future. I wish us all the best next year, and better and better!"

"I wish us all the best in the coming year!" xN.

As the glass of wine was consumed, the atmosphere at the table became more lively.

The meal lasted for more than an hour before it was over.

Zhou Weimin also gained some experience. While drinking and chatting, they not only finalized the issue of the additional quota indicators, but also spoke in detail about the situations of other factories.

She even talked about a lot of gossip about other factories, and her tone was not much different from that of the auntie in the cafeteria.

I used to hear people say that many bosses are actually very keen on gossip. It seems that factory leaders of this era are similar.

When the show was over, the two factory managers were already drunk and staggering.

Wu Honggang and Zhou Weimin helped the two men to the logistics director's office to rest. Li Huaide did not help them, but he did not leave either.

Zhou Weimin settled the two of them on the sofa and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Huaide.

"Wei Min, you've been working hard lately. Please help me check if you have time to see if there's any way you can collect some things for me."

Li Huaide said this and put a piece of paper into Zhou Weimin's pocket.

"It's okay if you can't receive it, don't stress."

Zhou Weimin nodded, without making any promises, and turned to leave the office.

After going out, Zhou Weimin took out the paper and looked at it. After seeing the things required on it, he couldn't help but smile slightly and put the paper into the space.

Life is not easy these days. Even someone like Li Huaide has to ask someone to find him if he wants to buy some meat. It shows how severe the shortage of supplies is.

Now that he had the task, he didn't plan to stay in the factory. He went straight to the bicycle shed and prepared to go to the library as planned.

Even if he takes out these things easily, he still has to pretend to do them. Once you leave the factory, who will care where you are?

If you don't let your leader see how busy you are, how can you show that it's not easy to get the materials?

"Brother Damao, are you going out too?"

As soon as he walked to the bicycle shed, Zhou Weimin ran into Xu Damao. "Hey, what a coincidence! The machine repair factory in the northern suburbs is planning to show a few movies for the workers before the holiday, so I took over the task."

Xu Damao squinted his eyes, his face full of excitement.

This is like a pillow given to you when you are sleepy. Today is such a comfortable day.

Zhou Weimin unlocked the car and said with a smile, "What a coincidence. I have something to do outside. Let's walk together."

Xu Damao agreed immediately. He was more than willing to walk with Zhou Weimin for a while.

The two chatted about random things and left the steel mill together.

Before they had ridden far, Xu Damao suddenly asked in a low voice, "Wei Min, I heard that you and Deputy Director Li had a drink together today? Are you going out now to help Deputy Director Li collect his things?"

"Hey, Brother Damao, you're really well-informed. I won't hide it from you. I did drink a little with Deputy Director Li today. But I was just there to make up the numbers. The leaders from other factories came over and asked me to have a couple of drinks with them."

Zhou Weimin didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. It hadn't been long since the dinner ended when Xu Damao found out about it.

"Hey, I just happened to go to the cafeteria to eat, and heard what the people in the kitchen said. Wei Min, you are really good, don't forget to help me when you become rich."

Xu Damao had a flattering look on his face, and there was a hint of expectation in his words.

He still remembered what happened to Hong Sihai before. That was something Zhou Weimin did when he was still unknown, and he was promoted to the position of deputy section chief in no time.

Hong Sihai's life is so comfortable nowadays. The job of showing movies for the leaders falls on him. Xu Damao is so jealous.

"We are all brothers. How could I forget you if I had the chance? Brother Damao, don't worry. If there is a chance next year, I will definitely help you find a solution."

Zhou Weimin smiled and started to paint a rosy picture for Xu Damao. However, Xu Damao had only been a regular employee for a short time, so it was unrealistic for him to move up.

But he was not just talking nonsense. When the time was right, he would naturally talk to Wu Honggang about Xu Damao and let him have a taste of the sweetness.

It's just to let Xu Damao get in touch with them earlier. Besides, in the next two years, as long as Xu Damao is still Director Lou's son-in-law, he will not be able to climb up any further.

The wind does not rise all at once. The prelude has actually begun long ago, but it is so subtle that most people don't feel it.

Xu Damao got the answer he wanted and immediately smiled. He said, "By the way, Weimin, I just asked around. Master Ma from the cafeteria said that Nan Yi from the machine repair factory is really talented. I'm going to go over and get in touch with Nan Yi this time. If there's a chance, I'll invite him to our factory after the New Year."

"It's up to you. Not many people would refuse to be transferred from the machine repair shop to our steel rolling mill."

Zhou Weimin said casually and separated from Xu Damao at the next intersection.

As for Nan Yi, he was not sure whether he would agree to be transferred to their factory.

After all, at this time, Nan Yi should be pursuing Ding Qiunan. Since ancient times, heroes have been unable to resist the temptation of beautiful women. Maybe Nan Yi will really refuse.

However, he did have a solution. He would just let Xu Damao try it first.

Ten minutes later, Zhou Weimin parked his car in front of the library, reached into his pocket, took out the book he had borrowed from the space, and walked into the library with ease.
