Era: 1962, the rise of vocabulary and related terms

"Section Chief Zong, what you did was not fair. Yan Xiao is one of my men. He just left the department, and you arrested him right afterward. What? You don't respect me?"

"I kindly lent you my man and helped you complete your mission, and this is how you repay me? You try to steal him away! Damn it, if you keep doing this, don't blame me for not remembering our past favors!"

In Zong Changyi's office, Sun Yongkai launched into a tirade of abuse at him.

"No, no, no, it's my fault, it's all my fault!" Zong Changyi pleaded repeatedly, but secretly thought to himself, 'I was too hasty; I should have avoided Sun Yongkai a bit.'

He was secretly plotting something, but he still didn't forget to plead for leniency.

"Yes, yes, Old Sun, you're right. I was wrong to do that, and I won't do it again!"

"Hmph!" Sun Yong vented his anger, but looking at Zong Changyi's fawning expression, he knew that he hadn't listened to a word and was as slippery as an eel.

He was too lazy to say anything more, so he turned around and left, returning to the Third Department.

At this moment, Xu Chunwang was stopped by Zheng Shuangxi and Zhu Fugui, who asked him what had happened yesterday.

"That's how it is." After briefly recounting yesterday's events, Xu Chunwang's eyes darted around, and a wicked thought popped into his head.

"Didn't you two not believe in Xiao Yan's drinking capacity? You can have a couple of drinks with him sometime and test his alcohol tolerance. With your two older brothers' capacity, you'll definitely be able to drink him out of the water."

"Oh?!" Zheng Shuangxi's eyes lit up.

"Hmm?" Zhu Fugui also had the idea of ​​watching the show.

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on their faces, Xu Chunwang was secretly pleased. Fortunately, he had reduced the amount of Yan Xiao's description when he was describing him, making him sound very ordinary.

Otherwise, given their ulterior motives, they certainly wouldn't have any ideas; now we just need to wait and see what happens.

"Xiao Xu," Sun Yongkai called out as soon as he returned.

"Sun Ke, what can I do for you?" Xu Chunwang quickly stood up to answer.

"Go find out where Xiao Yan is. From now on, wherever Xiao Yan is, you stay there. Under no circumstances should anyone from the Fourth Division contact him, understand?"

"Yes, from now on, wherever Xiao Yan is, I'll be there!"

"Very good! Go ahead!" Sun Yongkai nodded in satisfaction, and Xu Chunwang immediately went out to find Yan Xiao.

At the entrance, noticing that Xu Chunwang was about to come out, Feng Xiwang immediately ran back to the Fourth Section to report to Zong Changyi.

"You, Sun Yongkai, are so wary of me. But can you really stop me? I don't believe Xu Chunwang can stay by Yan Xiao's side forever. I don't believe he won't eat or go to the toilet."

"Hmph, even if you're a thief for a thousand days, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even the most meticulous plans can have a slip-up!"

"Understood, Brother Zong, I know what to do." Feng Xiwang immediately nodded in agreement.

"Very good, go do it." Zong Changyi was very satisfied with Feng Xiwang's quick thinking.

It's a pity that he could only drink as much as Yan Xiao. His capacity of two or three ounces is really not worthy of Feng Xiwang's quick wit.

Yan Xiao met Xu Chunwang downstairs.

"Brother Xu."

Xu Chunwang patted him on the shoulder: "Xiao Yan, I told Brother Zheng and Brother Zhu about what happened yesterday. They might invite you out for drinks sometime. You'll have to stand up for me and get them drunk!"

"Okay! I'll definitely drink them under the table." Yan Xiao agreed without hesitation. Xu Chunwang had helped him so much these past few days, so the drinking was nothing.

"Good lad, I knew I was right about you. It's still early, what are you planning to do? Still want to go to the countryside?"

"Go to the countryside?" Yan Xiao thought for a moment.

He had already gone to the countryside the day before yesterday to see how to purchase the goods. He didn't have much money or coupons, and most importantly, he was wondering if he could still borrow a bicycle.

In general, he has no intention of going to the countryside today.

"Not today. I drank last night and I'm still a bit dizzy, so I won't go to the countryside. I guess Brother Xu probably hasn't recovered yet."

"You still thought of me? To be honest, I'm still a little dizzy. Let's not get off! Let's get some rest." Xu Chunwang agreed immediately.

He completed his monthly procurement quota. If Sun Yongfa hadn't spoken up, he wouldn't have wanted to go to the countryside at all.

"Let's go back and sit down."

The two went upstairs and almost bumped into someone coming out of the purchasing department's main entrance.

"Hey, watch where you're going, you almost bumped into me," Wu Shan said, glaring at her with a cold look.

Before Yan Xiao could speak, Xu Chunwang repeatedly apologized, "I'm so sorry, we weren't watching where we were going. Did we hurt you?"

"Hmph!" Wu Shan patted the shoulder she hadn't yet touched, looking at Xu Chunwang's fawning expression: "Luckily we didn't bump into each other, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Yes, yes, you're right."

"Alright, move aside!" Wu Shan said arrogantly.

Xu Chunwang pulled Yan Xiao and quickly leaned against the wall to make way for them.

Wu Shan walked away with her head held high and a long stride.

"Phew~" Xu Chunwang patted his chest, about to let out a long sigh of relief, but was suddenly stopped by the voice behind him.

"Tch! They're only good at bullying others; they're useless when things really get tough."

Then the door to the first department opened again, and a head popped out.

Xu Chunwang's neck clicked as he turned to see who it was.

boom!

The door suddenly closed.

Xu Chunwang didn't dare linger and quickly pulled Yan Xiao away, explaining as they walked, "The purchasing departments one and two are both departments of connections. The people in them all have powerful backgrounds. Not to mention us, even Section Chief Sun sometimes doesn't dare to offend them."

"We don't usually get along with them either. They know the rules and don't usually interact with us. We all live in peace. But if something really happens, just admit your mistake verbally. Don't be stubborn, or things will get messy."

"I understand, I'm not the kind of person who goes looking for trouble." Yan Xiao nodded.

"Of course. Speaking of purchasing departments one and two, we have to mention one person. That guy is really something. He actually managed to hook up with a girl." Xu Chunwang suddenly revealed a gossipy look.

This immediately piqued Yan Xiao's curiosity: "Hmm? What do you mean?"

"A couple of years ago, there was this guy named Liu... Liu Guangqi. He was a warehouse registrar back then, and he hooked up with a girl from the first section. That girl was actually the second-in-command of the grain station. You know that Station Chief Ding we were entertaining the other day, right?"

Yan Xiao nodded repeatedly, but in his heart he was wondering if this Liu Guangqi was Liu Hai's eldest son, the character who had not appeared in the drama.

"Two years ago, that Station Chief Ding was just a section chief. In front of the second-in-command, he was like a grandson."

"That Liu Guangqi is really something, he actually managed to seduce that girl. I don't know how he did it. If I could learn even one or two tricks from him, I wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of my life!"

After saying this, Xu Chunwang's feelings of admiration and envy were evident in his words.

A few years ago, grain depots were the most sought-after departments in the entire country, but in the last two years, with good grain harvests, their status has declined considerably.

A few years ago, that would have been a hot commodity.

Liu Guangqi's ability to lure people away during that difficult time demonstrates his capabilities.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about him anymore. With your abilities, you'll definitely be able to hook up with girls who aren't lacking in talent. You'll have to help me make connections and introduce me to a few girls."

"Hey, that's not a sure thing. I'm just a temporary worker right now."

"Hey~ With your abilities, you'll definitely succeed in the future, so don't underestimate yourself!" Xu Chunwang said confidently, patting him on the shoulder.

"Then I'll take your kind words, Brother Xu!"

at the same time.

Li Huaide's office.

"So it's this new kid. He's young but has a good capacity for alcohol."

The purchasing department completed two tasks in three days, which exceeded Li Huaide's understanding of Sun Yongkai and Zong Changyi's abilities. He immediately summoned the two to understand the situation.

"Yan Xiao... a sophomore in high school... only drank for the first time, and he can already drink half a jin of liquor. I hope this kid's alcohol tolerance can get even better, otherwise this is where he ends up."

As one of the top leaders in the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide naturally had a good capacity for alcohol, usually drinking at least half a catty (250ml) or eight liang (400ml) at social gatherings.

Yan Xiao's half-jin (250ml) alcohol tolerance was naturally insignificant compared to him.

But Yan Xiao is young enough that if his alcohol tolerance could increase, the situation would be different. The key point is that he could drink two ounces right away, which gave him a small surprise.

At this moment, Yan Xiao was completely unaware that his name was on Li Huaide's register.

Sun Yongkai quickly said, "Director Li, you don't know, before we came here this kid told me that ever since he drank the day before yesterday, he feels unwell if he doesn't drink a little every day. Maybe before long, his alcohol tolerance will pick up!"

"Oh? Is that so?" This news surprised Li Huaide even more.

This also shocked Zong Changyi. He didn't expect this kid to have a trick up his sleeve. He didn't know that this kid was determined to get him!

"Sun Yongkai, you have good taste."

"Thank you for the compliment, Factory Manager," Sun Yongkai chuckled.

"Alright, let's get down to business!"

Li Huaide's tone suddenly became very serious, which immediately startled the two of them.
