Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

Grass……

I clearly instructed you all to do more and talk less, but you all died because of your mouths.

Factory Director Yang was so angry he was about to explode.

Fortunately, Liu Aiguo managed to save face for the rest of his life.

"You can cook?" The high-ranking official looked at Liu Aiguo with considerable surprise: "You... cooked all of this?"

"Yes!"

Liu Aiguo said, "A few years ago, I studied under a master Sichuan chef for a while... Senior leader, does this dish suit your taste?"

"Mmm..." The big boss nodded: "It's authentic Sichuan cuisine!"

"Hehe..." Liu Aiguo said, "Try the rest of these... This Dongpo pork knuckle is good, but the twice-cooked pork is a bit lacking. It's not that I'm bad, it's just that you overcooked the pork a little, so the flavor is slightly off. But it's definitely authentic, you'll know once you try it..."

The top leaders tasted the dishes one by one and nodded in approval.

"Come on... Xiao Liu... This first drink is 283, let me toast you first... You've worked hard!"

The high-ranking leader picked up the wine jug and drank a cup with Liu Aiguo.

The wine is excellent, it's Moutai!

Liu Aiguo has never drunk this in either of his lives!

Everyone sat down, and the senior leader said, "Come on... let's all have a taste and see how good Xiao Liu's cooking is?"

As everyone ate, they praised Liu Aiguo highly.

This wasn't just a habitual compliment; they genuinely thought the dish was delicious.

The top leader was there because he tasted the flavors of his hometown, while the rest of the crowd was there because they were enjoying rare and delicious food.

Everyone was excited.

Factory Director Yang looked at Liu Aiguo and burst into laughter.

He already had a good impression of Liu Aiguo.

With things going like this today, it goes without saying.

Even Director Yang was thinking about when to arrange for Liu Aiguo to be the deputy director of the purchasing team.

I was originally planning to wait until the Chinese New Year, but now it seems there's no need for that.

I'll go back and investigate, then I'll promote him.

"Old leader, let me toast you!" Director Yang stood up and toasted the senior leader, then said, "I have a small suggestion... From now on, every Tuesday afternoon, have young Liu Aiguo come over once and cook Sichuan cuisine for your family... What do you think?"

Today is Tuesday.

And every Tuesday, the top leader also gets a day off.

The senior leader looked at Liu Aiguo and said, "This is not good... Using public resources for private gain is unacceptable!"

“There’s nothing wrong with it!” Factory Director Yang said, “You don’t know, Liu Aiguo is a good man, and he gets things done efficiently. He always exceeds his weekly targets. I was even thinking of giving him a break, but now it’s all good. I’ve found him a job…”

"Little Liu..."

Factory Director Yang asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Aiguo said, "Serving the leaders is my mission... I happen to have a bicycle, so it's convenient for me to come over!"

"Good good..."

The senior leader chuckled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, Xiao Liu... It's settled then!"

"Come on, everyone... let's have a toast!"

Aunt Wang, who was standing next to her, also sighed deeply.

In recent years!

Especially in the last two years, Lao Liu's diet has been very poor, and he has been searching for Sichuan cuisine like a nightmare.

Now it's all good, we've finally found something we can do!

Very good!

……

Outside the door!

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao were still squatting by the wall.

Xu Damao took out another cigarette.

"I'm not smoking anymore!" He Yuzhu shook his head: "Damn it, the more I smoke, the worse it gets..."

Isn't it?

It's already midnight, and you still haven't eaten or are hungry?

I looked up at the sky.

Withered yellow leaves fluttered down one by one.

The driver in the car seemed relaxed, grabbing a piece of bread and starting to eat.

Xu Damao and He Yuzhu watched with envy.

"Rolling...rolling..."

Both of their stomachs growled.

He Yuzhu suddenly turned his head and, unusually, said to Xu Damao with a friendly expression, "Xu Damao... do you think Liu Aiguo might mess up his cooking... can he even cook Sichuan cuisine?"

"Let me tell you, this is what Sichuan cuisine is all about!"

Xu Damao nodded and said, "More or less... I think it's risky... It's probably going to botch things up!"

Chapter 062 Great news! Liu Aiguo has been laid off?

in!

Liu Aiguo, the top leader, and other leaders were already drinking heavily.

The big boss has plenty of liquor here, and it's all specially supplied Moutai.

Moutai liquor is generally not something that ordinary people can drink or buy.

This thing was specially supplied.

In this era, ordinary people have problems with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. They can't even get enough to eat, so where would they find a huge amount of grain to brew wine for you?

Think more.

Therefore, wine is only brewed when necessary, and the production capacity of each brewery is strictly limited, so that only so much can be brewed.

That's why alcohol is so expensive now.

Moreover, you need liquor coupons, or you can use grain coupons to pay for it.

We finished our meal in half an hour, and then started drinking tea.

While they were having tea, the senior leader gestured for Aunt Wang to leave, as if he had something important to say.

Liu Aiguo also got up to leave.

The high-ranking leader said, "Patriot, don't go. What I'm about to say has something to do with you!"

"Oh!"

Liu Aiguo sat down.

Aunt Wang closed the door when she left.

The high-ranking leader put down his teacup on the table, took a deep breath, and said, "You all need to remember what I'm about to say!"

"The government will be intervening soon, and they're dealing with the purchasing agents in each factory... Don't say I didn't tell you... these purchasing agents are positions your factories have created privately; the government doesn't have that position!"

Everyone was startled!

Liu Aiguo was also taken aback.

buyer?

Have you checked?

To be honest, the purchasing agent position is not legal; the so-called purchasing agent certificate is just something the factory issues to fool people.

It's all in order to gain the trust of the people.

But in reality, it's not acceptable to collect things or buy things from ordinary people.

Even factories won't do.

Of course, most of the time, there are no strict regulations.

But now, why can't the factory make some unplanned purchases?

"Why?" someone asked Liu Aiguo.

The top leader took a sip of water and said in a low voice, "There are two reasons!"
