Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

This guy is no good!

In the TV series, it was him who repeatedly tried to take advantage of Qin Huairu.

When the storm came, Director Yang stepped down, and this guy was the first to climb up and become the real big leader of the steel rolling mill.

"Hehehe..."

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled, and his assistant left.

And they also closed the office door.

In the office, only Deputy Factory Director Li and Liu Aiguo remained.

"Come, come...sit down..." Deputy Factory Director Li was unusually enthusiastic.

Liu Aiguo sat down calmly and asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Deputy Factory Director Li said, "It's not an order... but I need your help with something!"

Liu Aiguo smiled.

This isn't the first time a leader has asked him for a favor.

"Alright, Deputy Factory Director Li, please tell me. If it's within my power, I'll do my best to help!"

"Hmm... Haha, easy to say..." Deputy Factory Director Li said, "It's like this, I heard you've been doing very well lately, always exceeding your procurement targets..."

"Actually... being able to complete the assigned task is already quite an achievement..."

"Hey, I need some supplies. When you're making your purchases, after you've finished your factory tasks, could you also help me with some personal procurement as well..."

Chapter 033 The watch ticket is in hand; I'll give Yu Li a women's watch!

"Sure, no problem, boss..."

Liu Aiguo readily agreed.

Although Deputy Factory Director Li is not a very good person, helping him with some tasks will make it easier to make requests within the factory later.

If you don't help, they'll make things difficult for you later.

The key point is that for Liu Aiguo, helping Deputy Factory Director Li is also helping himself.

It's to help open up sales channels for myself!

Hahaha!

Previously, almost all the factory leaders, including Director Yang and Director Huang, had approached him.

Who hasn't thought of using their position to get some supplies for their wife and children?

I understand!

However, one thing is certain: this will be after the factory's tasks have been completed.

"Alright, alright... I have high hopes for you..." Deputy Factory Director Li chuckled and pulled a slip of paper from his pocket, handing it to Liu Aiguo. He said, "I can give you more money, but as for the vouchers, can you figure out how to get them yourself?"

"Let me take a look!"

Liu Aiguo took the note.

This is a list.

Eggs: 1000!

Live chickens: 20!

Pork: 100 jin!

Rice: 200 jin!

sizzle...

Liu Aiguo gasped, inwardly overjoyed, but feigning helplessness, he said, "Deputy Factory Director Li, this isn't just a little bit... it's a hundred million, a hundred million..."

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled and wasn't angry at Liu Aiguo's words.

Liu Aiguo said, "I can get these supplies, but without ration coupons, I can't get so many... Even if I were Deputy Factory Director Li, there's nothing I can do!"

"You'd better, at the very least, give me half the receipt!"

No need to look anymore, there's no way Deputy Factory Director Li could finish this.

It's obviously meant to be given as a gift.

And it wasn't just given to one person.

All these things together aren't worth much money.

Eggs cost five cents each, so a thousand eggs would only cost fifty yuan. The rest—live chickens, pork, and rice—would all come to two hundred yuan.

It's just a little over a month's salary for Deputy Director Li.

The key issue is that getting the necessary invoices is difficult.

Deputy Factory Director Li had nowhere to get tickets.

Even if Liu Aiguo cut the votes in half, he wouldn't have anywhere to get them.

"I'll give you three hundred yuan, is that okay?"

Deputy Factory Director Li took out thirty ten-yuan bills and placed them on the table.

Liu Aiguo smiled and said, "No... Mr. Li... I really can't handle this. If you were eating it yourself, I would have bought all the tickets for you without any problem, and I could have delivered the goods to you today... But now you're asking for too much, I don't have the capacity!"

Deputy Factory Director Li was also at a loss: "I do have a bicycle voucher here, but unfortunately you already have a bicycle... It wouldn't be of any use to you!"

"Here's what we'll do!" Deputy Factory Director Li said, "I have another watch voucher, a Shanghai brand one. Here, take it and think of a way to get it done."

As for what the method would be, Deputy Factory Director Li didn't ask.

Liu Aiguo hesitated for a moment.

A watch coupon!

He really wanted it.

It's so hard to even check the time these days.

There wasn't a single watch in the entire courtyard.

However, for Liu Aiguo, finding out the time was simple; he just had to ask the system.

But... isn't that inconvenient?

"It's still not easy!" Liu Aiguo shook his head.

Deputy Factory Director Li gritted his teeth, took out another fifty yuan, and handed it to Liu Aiguo: "This fifty yuan is a gift from me..."

Liu Aiguo then picked up the 350 yuan and the watch voucher, saying, "I wouldn't dare take your money, sir. How about this, I'll go to the black market and see if I can get some vouchers. If you don't have enough money, I'll cover it for you. If you have too much, I'll return it to you later!"

"Okay, okay..." Deputy Factory Director Li nodded happily, then asked, "When can I get the things?"

Liu Aiguo said, "Three days...one day is impossible!"

"You can pick it up yourself in my yard in three days. I'll leave it there!"

Deputy Factory Director Li handed over another slip of paper: "This is the address. Just leave it here later!"

“That works!” Liu Aiguo said, “I’ll bring them all to you on Wednesday night!”

……

Liu Aiguo originally planned to buy himself a watch.

However, after leaving the factory gate, he changed his mind.

Why not buy one for Yu Li!

Perfect timing, isn't it? I need to tailor clothes for Yu Li too.

This is a custom in Beijing: if you want to get engaged, you have to have clothes made for you.

So Liu Aiguo rode his bicycle straight to Yu Li's doorstep.

Upon seeing Liu Aiguo's sudden arrival, Yu Li, who was doing laundry, became very nervous: "Brother Aiguo... why are you here? Aren't you at work?"

"I'm pretty casual about work... Come on, let's go shopping for a bit!"

Liu Aiguo pulled Yu Li away and headed straight for the department store.

"What should we buy?" Yu Li's face was flushed.

Liu Aiguo said, "I'll buy some fabric and make you some clothes..."

"And I'll buy you something nice!"

He pulled Yu Li along and headed straight for the counter on the second floor.

The bicycle was parked right in front of the counter.

Seeing that Liu Aiguo had arrived on a bicycle, the sales clerks naturally dared not neglect him and all put away their arrogant expressions.

"Young man, what are you buying?"

"Slap..." Liu Aiguo slammed the watch receipt on the counter: "Give me a Shanghai brand watch, for a lady..."
