Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 857 Who is actually begging whom?
Li Huaide brought up Jia Dongming's placement of Lin Zhongtian only to pressure Jia Dongming into convincing him to persuade Wu Tianpeng to assess all the registered technicians and select the most suitable ones for training, as requested by the bosses. However, to Li Huaide's surprise, Jia Dongming misunderstood his words, leaving him feeling frustrated that he had shot himself in the foot.

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, and recalling the information his father-in-law had revealed to him, Li Huaide quickly explained to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! You misunderstood me. I will report the behavior of some comrades in our logistics support group to the ministry leadership later. I believe the ministry will transfer these comrades out of the logistics support group soon."

"However, some misunderstandings have already occurred between the two sides. Mr. Wu doesn't really like me anymore. So, among all of us, only you can speak with the expert group. Therefore, I would like to ask you for help to see if you can mediate and get the expert group to agree to conduct assessments for all the registered technicians."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's words, Jia Dongming pretended to be troubled and pondered for a moment before speaking to Li Huaide: "Director Li! I can only guarantee to help mediate, but as for whether the expert group is willing to assess all the registered technicians, I can't give you any guarantee."

Hearing Jia Dongming's reply, Li Huaide secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! Whether I can advance further this time depends on whether I can successfully complete this logistical support mission. We've known each other for over ten years, so you must help me this time!"

Jia Dongming was well aware that if this cooperation could be completed smoothly, Li Huaide's promotion would be a certainty. Faced with Li Huaide's plea, Jia Dongming pretended to sigh helplessly and said to Li Huaide, "Director Li! Although we have been brothers for many years, I will do my best to persuade Wu Tianpeng to agree to cooperate with the department's assessment work!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's reply, Li Huaide's face immediately lit up with ecstatic joy, and he quickly thanked Jia Dongming, saying, "Director Jia! Then I thank you in advance."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's gratitude, Jia Dongming feigned helplessness and reminded Li Huaide, "Factory Director Li! I'm not trying to be long-winded, but although we paid for the equipment from the Wu family this time, you should be clear about the price of the equipment provided by the Wu family, the way the two sides cooperated, and who is actually asking whom for a favor between us and the Wu family."

"You've seen the equipment list provided by the Wu family. This cooperation has only just begun, and some people are already acting like the Wu family is begging us. They don't take the expert team sent by the Wu family seriously and are incredibly arrogant towards the experts. If we don't find a way to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, I estimate that our cooperation with the Wu family will probably not happen again."

Li Huaide naturally noticed the attitude of some of the experts leading the logistics support team. However, he knew that the members who could join the logistics support team all had connections and were specifically there to gain prestige. Therefore, he adopted a "better safe than sorry" attitude and didn't pay much attention to the matter. He even just promised Jia Dongming that he would report the situation to the ministry, but he was just going through the motions.

Now, hearing Jia Dongming's reminder and thinking about the price of that equipment, Li Huaide realized that it was not the Wu family begging them to buy the equipment in order to make money, but rather the Wu family helping them by subsidizing their industrial construction.

Realizing this, Li Huaide understood the seriousness of the matter and earnestly promised Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! You're right, we took things too lightly. As for the situations you just mentioned, I will report them to the department head later to prevent similar incidents from happening again."

Hearing Li Huaide's reply, Jia Dongming knew that Li Huaide had begun to take the matter seriously. He smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Alright, Factory Director Li! I'll go find Brother Wu now and talk to him about the assessment. I'll let you know as soon as Brother Wu has any results." Hearing Jia Dongming's promise, Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief and said happily to Jia Dongming, "Brother! Then I'll be waiting for your good news."

Li Huaide hung up the phone with Jia Dongming, and his brows furrowed as he thought about what Jia Dongming had mentioned on the phone.

Li Huaide had naturally seen what the logistics support team had done. If these people were just ordinary people, Li Huaide wouldn't have had to worry so much. However, these people represented different forces, which forced Li Huaide to take the matter seriously.

Li Huaide sat in the logistics office for a long time and finally decided to call his father-in-law to report the situation.

The call was quickly connected. Upon hearing his father-in-law's question, Li Huaide recounted the events of the past two days, as well as what Jia Dongming had just mentioned, to his father-in-law in detail.

In the morning, Vice President Jiang received a call from Li Huaide, who said that Wu Tianpeng was unwilling to talk to Li Huaide. He thought that Wang Deming had offended Wu Tianpeng, which was why Wu Tianpeng was unwilling to talk to Li Huaide. It wasn't until he heard Li Huaide's explanation that he realized the real reason.

As the deputy general manager of the Ministry of Industry, Jiang was naturally very clear about who the people Li Huaide mentioned were related to. If it were other matters, Jiang would naturally not want to get involved, but the cooperation with the Wu family was related to the industrial layout for the next few years. Jiang said to Li Huaide with a solemn expression, "Huaide! I will communicate with General Manager Lin about the matter you just mentioned and come up with a proper solution. As for the expert group, try to ease the tension as much as possible."

Upon hearing Vice President Jiang's instructions, Li Huaide immediately nodded and said to him, "Dad! I've discovered that the chefs at the Industrial University aren't up to par, so I'd like to transfer our steel rolling mill's chef to the Industrial University to be specifically responsible for the expert team's meals."

Upon hearing Li Huaide's arrangement, Vice President Jiang immediately understood Li Huaide's plan and said to Li Huaide, "Huaide! You are specifically in charge of the expert team's meals. As for whether or not to transfer cooks from the steel rolling mill to help, you can decide for yourself."
