Era: 1962, the rise of vocabulary and related terms

"Damn it, you're trying to steal people from me, Zong Changyi! You shameless bastard! Nobody in the department can drink, so you've got your hands on me! You son of a bitch!"

Sun Yongkai was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, knocking the enamel cup to the ground without even noticing.

"Who told them about Yan Xiao's drinking capacity?"

We finally have a lucky guy who can hold his liquor. If the Fourth Division snatches him away, won't he have to personally handle all the drinking parties from now on?

Staring at him with bloodshot eyes, Xu Chunwang immediately assured him, "I didn't say that!"

"Damn it, Zong Changyi, that bastard!"

"Sun Ke, I think our top priority is to keep Yan Xiao calm and prevent him from being abducted," Xu Chunwang chimed in.

Sun Yongkai's attitude further proves that Yan Xiao has a high alcohol tolerance, and he doesn't want Yan Xiao to be poached, otherwise he'll have to drink on his behalf.

"You're right, we need to think about this carefully. But go and find out who leaked the information about Yan Xiao's drinking capacity to the Fourth Division."

"Also, keep an eye on Yan Xiao these next few days. Make sure no one from the Fourth Division gets close to him, understand?"

"Yes!" Xu Chunwang turned and left, leaving Sun Yongkai to ponder alone.

In the four subjects.

"Zongke, I've met the new kid. He's quite cautious, but I've said what I needed to say."

"Good! Well done!" Section Chief Zong Changyi patted Feng Xiwang on the shoulder with great satisfaction. "Keep up the good work and try your best to poach him."

"I knew Sun Yongkai was just a so-so drinker. How could he have gotten 5000 catties of grain the day before yesterday? Turns out it was this new kid who got it by drinking. It's a real waste to have such a heavy drinker like Sun Yongkai."

"Only when it's in my hands will it be of great use!"

"That's right, that's right," Feng Xiwang agreed. "However, when I came back, I saw that Xu Chunwang was also here. If he hadn't suddenly appeared, he might have been able to bring the person to see you."

"Hmph!" Zong Changyi's face turned cold: "No rush, take it one step at a time. Let this kid see what the Third Department is like first, then it will make our Fourth Department look better. Go down and keep working hard, try your best to invite people to our Fourth Department."

"Yes!" Feng Xiwang immediately withdrew.

As soon as Feng Xiwang left, Zong Changyi could no longer sit still. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back and his head down, his face showing both hope and urgency.

"The drinking party tomorrow..."

Yan Xiao, the instigator, was completely unaware of this, but he could guess a thing or two.

"Doing it this way should help stabilize the job situation a bit."

He had just started work when someone suddenly came looking for him; it must be because he had some talent that had been discovered.

Feng Xiwang is an example; he was even asked to visit the Fourth Department when he had time.

He told Xu Chunwang about it, but only to achieve his own selfish goals.

A person's worth is sometimes not something they can determine for themselves!

Instead, it's better to leverage external forces to highlight one's own value.

......

Purchasing Department.

Sun Yongkai grew angrier the more he thought about it. Regardless of what Zong Changyi meant, at least a warning was necessary.

"Section Chief Zong!"

"Section Chief Sun, you wouldn't come here without a reason. May I ask what brings you here?" Zong Changyi looked at Sun Yongkai's ashen face and understood what was going on.

"Can't you come and sit down for a bit if there's nothing wrong? We're both in the purchasing department, we should be like brothers and sisters, helping each other out, right?"

"Of course," Zong Changyi agreed calmly. "We're all in the same department. If we don't help each other, people will laugh at us."

"Yes, if word gets out, people will laugh at us, and that would be really unethical of you."

"Oh dear, Section Chief Sun, what makes you say that?" Zong Changyi feigned ignorance, looking completely innocent.

Looking at that innocent face only fueled Sun Yongkai's anger. His eyes widened: "What are you talking about? Section Chief Zong, don't play dumb with me. We've known each other for seven or eight years. I know what's going on even if you just lift your butt!"

"What? So you stole my girl, and now you're too scared to say anything? That's not a very nice thing to do!"

Once the truth is out, there's no need to hide it anymore.

Zong Changyi said directly, "Yes, it was my fault. I had no other choice but to resort to this tactic. You know I have to have dinner with Old Zhang from the Ministry of Coal tomorrow. This is a matter of great importance to the factory's production. You can't just stand by and watch it fail, can you?"

Zong Changyi simply passed the trouble to Sun Yongkai.

If we don't help, he's ignoring the steel mill's production.

Help! If we let him steal Yan Xiao away, the trouble will be even greater.

When it came to production issues and the Ministry of Coal Industry, Sun Yongkai had to think deeply.

Steel rolling mills are large steel producers, and their demand for coal is continuous and the more the better.

Coal is not only involved in production, but also in people's livelihoods.

Winter is approaching, and it's time for all workshops and departments to turn on the heating.

The workers may not care if they are neglected, but if the leaders are neglected, the blame will fall on the purchasing department for their inadequate performance.

"Okay! I can lend you the person, but I have conditions."

Upon hearing this, Zong Changyi raised an eyebrow, his heart leaping with joy: "Go on!"

"I deserve half the credit for this purchase!"

"Half? No way! That's too much!" Zong Changyi refused without hesitation.

Once a purchasing agent reaches a certain level, they are no longer like ordinary purchasing agents who simply complete their monthly purchasing quota.

At their level, they are basically responsible for large-scale procurement tasks or tasks assigned by their superiors.

Of course, a certain procurement quota must also be reached secretly.

Sun Yongkai's outrageous demand for half the amount is something no normal person would agree to.

"If it doesn't work out, then forget it. You'll have to figure out how to handle tomorrow's social engagement yourself. Since you can't finish it anyway, you'll have to find a way to explain it to Director Li." Sun Yongkai was full of confidence.

If Zongchangyi can handle it, there's no need to steal his people.

"No, no, no, let's talk this out." Zong Changyi immediately tried to ease the tension, hesitating for a long time before finally saying:

"Tell me first, how much can this person drink? How much can he drink? How did he manage to get Ding Mo drunk that day, and how did he manage to drink 5000 jin of grain? Don't try to fool me!"

Zong Changyi stared intently at Sun Yongkai, a sinister glint in his eyes.

This put Sun Yongkai in a difficult position.

If you speak too well, it might tempt someone to steal you away, which would be bad.

If you tell a lie, you won't get half the credit, or even have it used.

He needs to carefully grasp the right balance.

After much deliberation, Sun Yongkai decided to tell the truth and explain what had happened: "This kid should be able to drink about half a jin of liquor. At that time..."

Half a jin of liquor is not a small amount; most people can only drink about 2 liang (100ml), and they will vomit after drinking 3 liang (150ml).

Sun Yongkai has cultivated his alcohol tolerance over the years and can drink about half a jin (250ml). This is only if he drinks intermittently, taking a bite of food and resting in between.

If someone like Yan Xiao could down a 6-qian (approximately 30 grams) of liquor in one gulp, go outside to vomit, and then come back and drink three or four more cups, he would also vomit.

Drinking too fast or too aggressively is really hard to handle unless you have a high alcohol tolerance.

This shows that Yan Xiao's drinking style meant he could easily drink half a jin (250ml) of liquor.

At a drinking party, the sincerity of someone drinking half a jin (250ml) is completely different from that of two or three people taking turns toasting someone to drink half a jin; the feelings are worlds apart.

Sometimes, if someone has a high alcohol tolerance, they can be completely incompetent at business.

Bang! ! !

After hearing the whole process, Zong Changyi immediately slammed his fist on the table and made a decision!

"Alright! Half it is! But let's make it clear first, this kid has to be able to drink as much as you say! If he's not as good as you say, and things go wrong, you'll have to explain to Director Li!"

"This..." Sun Yongkai hesitated for a few seconds before making his decision: "Fine! If things really go wrong, I'll explain myself!"

Zong Changyi said, "Alright! It's settled then. He'd better make sure Old Zhang has a good time drinking tomorrow night!"

"You can rest assured that I can handle things!" Sun Yongkai patted his chest, full of confidence.

Once the matter was settled, he didn't linger and left immediately.

After Sun Yongkai left, Zong Changyi sat back down in his chair, crossed his legs, and swung around, feeling quite pleased with himself.

"Want half the credit? You'd better be alive to take it!"

"If this kid's alcohol tolerance is really that high, he'll definitely make Old Zhang throw up, and he'll vomit tens of thousands of pounds of coal! Otherwise, I'll be at a huge loss!"

Sun Yongkai, who had just left the Fourth Department, was thinking, "This kid is really my lucky star. He's only been here a few days and he's already brought me more credit. He's really added a lot to my resume."

Sun Yongkai was previously dismissed from his post, and although he has now been reinstated, many people under him have objections, even though he has been a section chief for seven or eight years.

"However, we still need to be careful. We can't let Zong Changyi steal it away. We'll still need to rely on this lucky star in the future. We need to send someone to keep an eye on things during tomorrow's social event."

"When things are done, we should reward people with something to win them over!"
