Era: 1962, the rise of vocabulary and related terms

Procurement Department 3.

After Sun Yongkai returned, he issued Li Huaide's orders.

"That's the situation. Everyone's current purchasing quota will be multiplied by 5! You can only rest when you reach your target!"

"If anyone is so capable that they can achieve five times the quota in ten days or half a month, they can take a break until the Chinese New Year. I will never hire you."

"Ah!" Instantly, Corey, Yan Xiao, and the other two couldn't help but let out a long "Ah!"

The minimum requirement is 10 units of grain. 2 units have been completed so far, leaving 8 units short. Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for them?

Sun Yongkai completely ignored everyone's embarrassed expressions: "What are you talking about! I don't care what your reasons are, I just want results. If you can't finish, figure it out yourself! If you can't procure the goods, go out and socialize."

If the social engagement is successful, a portion of the purchased materials will be shared based on their level and quantity, and this share will be directly converted into a purchase quota.

"This is a no-holds-barred order, and it must be completed no matter what. There are still two or three days left until the end of the month. Next month will officially begin, so take advantage of these few days to rest and think about how to make the purchases."

"In the next few days, the factory should issue us some supplies for purchase and replacement. Everyone should pay close attention these days. On the last day of the month, everyone should come to the department to report for duty, get together, and discuss solutions."

The factory knew that to purchase such a large batch of materials, it was impossible to rely solely on money; it also needed to rely on the factory's own resources.

Finally, Sun Yongkai concluded, "Think it over carefully. By the way, Xiao Xu, you've done a good job with your purchasing these past few months. Starting next month, your purchasing limit will be increased to 50 yuan, and the total purchasing amount will be increased fivefold."

After saying that, he returned to his office, where he also had to think about how to make up for the shortfall of 4 catties of grain and at least 21 catties of coal.

This was something he and Zong Changyi had agreed upon: they would split the difference 50/50 and each complete their share.

"what!"

Xu Chunwang could have been quite fortunate and remained a bystander, but now he looks like he's stepped in dog poop.

He originally had a monthly purchase quota of 30 yuan, and even if it were four times that, it would only be 150 yuan.

Now, if we mention 50 yuan, that's 250 yuan. The difference is 100 yuan, which is almost his original purchase amount for 3 months.

"You only have 250 yuan at most, we two are the worst off! We only have a 100 yuan limit each month, that's only 500 yuan in total!" Zheng Shuangxi cried out, holding up four fingers.

Zhu Fugui, standing to the side, was in no better shape.

"Sigh, I thought the employee performance review was just a rumor, but it actually happened!"

"It's too late to say anything now, let's think of a solution."

The group exchanged glances, then looked at Yan Xiao. "You've really hit the jackpot. You've only just arrived, and with a monthly allowance of 15 yuan, that's only 75 yuan."

"Yes, you've come at just the right time. A credit limit of 75 yuan is just a matter of trying."

For a moment, the others looked at him with envy.

Yan Xiao didn't think he had gotten lucky. If he hadn't drunk Station Master Ding under the table at the social gathering that day, he wouldn't have been able to get the job.

He looked at Xu Chunwang and said, "Brother Xu, I'll help you out after I've reached my purchase quota."

Zhu Fugui and Zheng Shuangxi were unmoved by Yan Xiao's words, as Yan Xiao couldn't help them much at the moment.

"Thanks, Xiao Yan." Xu Chunwang patted him on the shoulder. "But the most important thing right now is to complete your own quota. If you don't, you won't have a way out."

After a brief respite, Xu Chunwang suggested, "Alright, alright, there are still a few days left. Let's take a good rest before the time is up."

"By the way, Xiao Yan has been here for a few days now, and he hasn't had much time since. How about we find a small restaurant tonight and get together for a few drinks? What do you think?"

"Great!" Zheng Shuangxi readily agreed.

"Alright, it's time to welcome Xiao Yan." Zhu Fugui nodded.

"Okay, then it's settled."

......

Night.

A small tavern.

Xu Chunwang pulled Yan Xiao to the back and said, "Little Yan, you'd better help me get them all drunk, just like yesterday."

"Don't worry, Brother Xu." Yan Xiao didn't say much, but just patted Xu Chunwang's hand and gave him a look.

"Okay." Xu Chunwang's face lit up with joy. He looked at Zhu Fugui and Zheng Shuangxi, who were still walking briskly ahead, and waited for the two of them to make a fool of themselves.

Upon entering the tavern, several side dishes were served shortly afterward.

"Here you go, Brother Zhu, Brother Zheng, thank you both for taking care of me these past few days. I'll drink this, you can drink as you please."

With that, Yan Xiao downed the six-qian cup in one gulp.

[The "100-gram Unbreakable" effect is in effect...]

"Good lad! What a bold fellow!" Seeing this, Zhu Fugui also drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

Seeing that the two of them had drunk their drinks, Zheng Shuangxi couldn't refuse them either, so he also drank his fill.

After finishing their drinks, the two rubbed their slightly burning stomachs, their faces flushed.

Yan Xiao refilled his glass: "Come on, Brother Zhu, Brother Zheng, Brother Xu, let me toast you all again. I hope you will continue to guide me in the future. If there is anything I have done wrong, please point it out."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp again.

Seeing the two hesitate, Xu Chunwang immediately raised his glass: "No problem, no problem. From now on, we're all part of the purchasing department. We'll all have our difficulties, so let's help each other out. I'll drink this, you two can drink as you please."

Xu Chunwang downed it in one gulp.

Zhu Fugui and Zheng Shuangxi exchanged a glance. With Xu Chunwang's intervention, they still had to drink the wine.

"Ah! Heartburn!" the two exclaimed after finishing their drinks, rubbing their stomachs.

Yan Xiao filled the wine glass for the third time.

"Hey, hey, that's enough already. I can't hold my liquor, I'll throw up if I drink like this," Zhu Fugui said hurriedly.

Zheng Shuangxi quickly chimed in, "Me too, but never mind, we're all colleagues, this won't work!"

Seeing their embarrassed and awkward expressions, Xu Chunwang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you can't drink anymore? You two used to say I could drink a lot, what's wrong with you now?"

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately understood: "You're using someone else to do your dirty work, using Xiao Yan to get revenge on us!"

"I never expected this! You, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a little scheme in mind! I never knew!"

As they spoke, the two men grabbed Xu Chunwang by the neck.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, big brother." Xu Chunwang admitted his mistake at the right time.

"Hmph!" The two then released each other.

Zhu Fugui looked at Yan Xiao: "Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to be such a heavy drinker."

"This is nothing yet, we haven't even had the third cup," Xu Chunwang interjected, clarifying everything that hadn't been made clear before.

"Alright! You little brat, you deliberately sent Xiao Yan to mess with us, take this!" Zhu Fugui was so angry that he used the Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Move.

Zheng Shuangxi used the story of the monkey stealing peaches.

Xu Chunwang was so frightened that he tried to block and slap the ground, but he was still grabbed a few times.

"Ooh!"

"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

"N-nothing...it's nothing..." Xu Chunwang's forehead was slightly sweaty, and his face looked somewhat pained, but he still forced himself to remain calm.

After a while, Xu Chunwang finally calmed down.

"It's alright, it's alright, let's eat our vegetables."

After such a minor incident, the two naturally ended up having to drink a couple more glasses of alcohol.

After several rounds of drinks...

The group of people each drank about two ounces of liquor.

"You can see that now, right? Xiao Yan has an amazing alcohol tolerance. He's still not flushed or nervous."

"That's right, I didn't expect Xiao Yan to have such a high alcohol tolerance. It seems we underestimated him," Zhu Fugui said in surprise.

"Don't drag me along when you drink with Xiao Yan in the future. I don't want to throw up every time I drink," Zheng Shuangxi chimed in.

Having witnessed Yan Xiao's drinking capacity firsthand, both of them became interested in him.

With someone who can drink on top of you, dealing with social engagements will be much easier.

"When I have social engagements, Xiao Yan, you'll have to help me out," Zhu Fugui said directly.

Yan Xiao said, "No problem, no problem. We're in the same department, so it's only right that we help each other out."

[A promise kept is in effect...]

"That's right, we'll help each other out." Zheng Shuangxi chimed in, "Don't worry, once the social event is over, things will be handled as they should be, and you won't suffer any losses."

"As the saying goes, even close brothers keep clear accounts. We should also make sure things are agreed upon beforehand, so as not to damage our relationship."

"That's right." Zhu Fugui and Xu Chunwang nodded in agreement.

Yan Xiao nodded without saying anything.

With the entry already in place, he actually prefers more social engagements, since it makes it easier to meet his purchasing quota. But he certainly won't forget to go to the countryside to make purchases, since he still has the entry for "abundant harvests".

"Come on, let's keep drinking!"
