Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Li Huaide nodded in satisfaction.

He then walked behind his desk and took out an envelope.

Handing the envelope to Xiao Shan, Li Huaide slowly said, "Besides the thousand yuan reward, there are also some industrial coupons and cigarette and alcohol coupons inside, which are extra rewards from the factory for you!"

"Don't tell anyone about the tickets, since these things are in high demand right now!"

"Don't worry, Factory Director, I understand." Xiao Shan took the envelope from Li Huaide and said without hesitation.

Li Huaide patted Xiao Shan on the shoulder, quite moved: "Xiao Shan, keep up the good work, our steel rolling mill will get better and better!"

Not only the steel rolling mill, but Li Huaide, as the person in charge of coordinating machine tools with other factories, has also made a fortune these days.

He used most of the gifts he received to cultivate relationships with his superiors.

Aside from what he used for his own food, clothing, and daily necessities, he sold everything else at the pigeon market.

Li Huaide is different from Xiao Shan; he has access to many leaders, so it is essential to cultivate relationships with them.

After all, only by stabilizing the steel rolling mill and securing his position as the mill's director can there be a continuous stream of profits to be made!

Hearing Li Huaide's sentiments, Xiao Shan echoed, "The factory director is right. The steel rolling mill will definitely get better and better, and our lives will get better and better too!"

"Xiao Shan, a lot of leaders will be coming over at noon later. They're all here because of you, so you'd better make a good impression and treat them to a good meal!" Li Huaide instructed Xiao Shan with a smile. "But don't do what you did last time with those Russians and knock out all the leaders!"

Li Huaide vividly remembered the time Xiaoshan had drunk a bunch of Russians so badly they ended up in the hospital!

Chapter 459, Afraid that Xiao Shan would drink all the leaders under the table! (Please subscribe!)

Seeing Li Huaide's somewhat frightened expression, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Factory Director, I know how to behave with my own people!"

Hearing Xiao Shan say this, Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as you know your limits!"

Li Huaide then gave Xiao Shan some instructions on the leaders' preferences, and then told Xiao Shan to go and rest in the canteen first.

After resting for a while in the small canteen on the second floor, leaders from Xiaoshan began to arrive one after another.

Because there were too many leaders coming this time, one private room was not enough to accommodate them, so it was divided into two private rooms.

The leaders of the metallurgical system sat in one private box, while the other leaders sat in the next private box.

Although the rooms were divided into two private booths, the seats were quite close together due to the large number of people, making it look somewhat crowded.

Because Xiaoshan is currently a lucky charm for the metallurgical system, the leaders of the metallurgical system are quite fond of Xiaoshan.

random.

You should know that ever since Xiaoshan brought John Bull's new machine tools, the metallurgical system has been a key target for praise at every meeting!

Thanks to Xiaoshan, the leaders of the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry not only saw improved performance but also received better benefits.

"I really didn't expect that Comrade Xiao Shan would have such a high level of skill in combat. He truly is a young hero!" A leader from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry said with a smile as he looked at Xiao Shan.

“Yes, Comrade Xiao Shan is such an outstanding talent, he is one of the best even in the whole country!” A leader from the metallurgical system immediately chimed in.

"You flatter me, leaders! If I weren't working in such a large factory as Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, where would I have had the opportunity to go to John Bull and Hong Kong?" Xiao Shan waved his hand modestly. "I believe that if it were someone else, they wouldn't be any worse than me. I was just lucky and benefited from the steel rolling mill!"

Seeing Xiao Shan's humble demeanor, a leader from the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry smiled and said, "That's truly rare. He's both capable and humble. This young man has a bright future ahead of him!"

While Xiaoshan was chatting with the leaders, almost everyone had arrived.

Li Huaide came over to greet Xiao Shan, and told him to go to the next private room to say hello to the leaders of other systems.

After greeting these leaders, Xiao Shan returned to the previous private room, ready to have dinner with the leaders of the metallurgical system.

When Xiao Shan returned to the private room, all the dishes had already been served.

Even the wine glasses on the table were already filled with wine.

The liquor served in the steel rolling mill's small canteen used to be Fenjiu.

Fine liquors like Moutai and Wuliangye are only served when entertaining important guests.

Like those Russians who, together with Xiaoshan, emptied all the Moutai stock in the small canteen.

This caused the factory's small canteen to stop supplying Moutai for quite some time.

However, now that the factory has money, the main drinks they're serving this time are Moutai.

Li Huaide raised his glass and smiled at the leaders of the metallurgical system at the table, saying, "Comrade Xiaoshan drank those Russians to the hospital right here last time! So everyone, don't hold back, drink as much as you can!"

As soon as Li Huaide said this, everyone burst into laughter.

Xiao Shan looked at Li Huaide speechlessly. He told himself to be careful, but he told these leaders not to hug him. Isn't this a clear double standard?

Fortunately, I have a high alcohol tolerance and nothing to worry about.

At this moment, Zhou Bangqiu, the foreign trade department director of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, continued Li Huaide's words: "At that time, I was cursing Xiaoshan in my heart, saying that the order that had come so hard was ruined by this kid!"

"But guess what happened next?"

"Hey! Those Russians were actually won over by this kid! After they came out of the hospital, they were crying and begging to sign a contract with us right away!"

Upon hearing Zhou Bangqiu's words, everyone present burst into laughter again.

It was precisely because of Li Huaide and Zhou Bangqiu's words that these leaders did not show any favoritism towards Xiaoshan.

However, Xiaoshan welcomes all comers!

After a few rounds of drinks, all the leaders were completely drunk!

Fortunately, Xiao Shan remembered Li Huaide's instructions to him, otherwise many of these leaders would have been lying on the floor.

Seeing that the leaders from the metallurgical system had drunk enough, Li Huaide led Xiao Shan to the next private room, intending to let the leaders from other systems also eat and drink well.

After all, today is a celebration banquet for Xiaoshan. How could Xiaoshan not come and have a few drinks with these leaders?

By the time Xiao Shan had finished drinking with the leaders from other systems, it was already past 2 p.m.

The celebration banquet was considered a complete success only after all the leaders had left.

With the end of the workday approaching, Xiao Shan wasn't in a hurry to go home.

So I waited in Ding Qiunan's office for a while, and then went home with Ding Qiunan after get off work.

The following day, the steel rolling mill broadcast a notice promoting Xiao Shan to deputy director of the mill.

Upon hearing the announcement, the workers in the welding workshop naturally offered their congratulations to Xiaoshan.

They also inquired whether Xiaoshan would continue working in the welding workshop in the future.

After hearing the workers' questions, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Of course I still have to work in the welding workshop! Right now, I'm the only level eight worker in the welding workshop. If I don't work in the welding workshop, what will happen to those level eight workpieces?"

Upon hearing Xiaoshan's reply, the workers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The workers were well aware that the welding workshop was safer than the other workshops mainly because Xiaoshan was located there.

That's why they're so worried that Xiaoshan will leave the welding workshop.

"Xiaoshan, if you're still working in the welding workshop, what's the point of your promotion to deputy factory manager?" a worker asked Xiaoshan curiously.

Another worker laughed and said, "He used to be called Xiaoshan, now he should be called Deputy Factory Director Xiao!"

"No need for that, just call me Xiaoshan!" Xiao Shan waved his hand with a smile. "The benefit is that it can increase my salary! And I'll have my own office, so I can go to my own office to read when I'm off!"

When we went to the canteen for lunch, everyone who knew Xiao Shan congratulated him on his promotion to deputy factory director.

Even Director Yang, who was assigned to clean, congratulated Xiao Shan.

Looking at Director Yang, whose face showed absolutely no sign of resentment, Xiao Shan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "There's a reason why he was able to hold on until he was re-promoted in the TV series!"

When Xiao Shan got off work that evening, he smiled at Ding Qiunan, who was sitting on the back of his bicycle, and said, "Honey, how about I buy you a bicycle too? That way you can ride to work by yourself!"

"No!" Ding Qiunan said with a smile, "Riding in your car is much easier than riding my own bike, I'm not that stupid!"

Hearing Ding Qiunan say that, Xiao Shan laughed and said, "Alright then, you can ride in my car!"

“We made a lot of money in Hong Kong this time. Yesterday, the organization and the factory gave us a bonus of 1,000 yuan. We have a holiday tomorrow, so let’s go to the department store together!”

Hearing Xiao Shan's suggestion, Ding Qiunan pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Your Zhongshan suits are all worn out, let's go to the department store and buy a few new ones."

"My husband is now the deputy factory director, so he has to dress smartly and presentably for work!"

Although the suits Xiao Shan bought in Hong Kong were nice, he didn't wear them again after returning home.

After all, everyone wears Zhongshan suits now, so it's a bit too conspicuous for you to wear a Western suit!

"Yes, buy them all, buy them all. Anyway, your husband has money now!" Xiao Shan said with a smile as he pedaled his bicycle.

The next day was the weekend, and Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan both slept in, which was quite rare for them.

The main reason is that Feng Chunlian lives here now, and someone helps her make breakfast and take care of the children.

Otherwise, given Xiao Jingyan's restless nature, it would be difficult for them to sleep in.

After finishing their breakfast, the two rode their bicycles out.

Upon arriving at the department store, after locking the bicycle, Ding Qiunan took Xiao Shan's arm and entered the department store.

After she got married, she often came to the department store with Xiao Shan.

But most of the time, Xiao Shan bought her clothes, but today Ding Qiunan also had her own little scheme.

Thinking of this, Ding Qiunan couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling into a bright and cheerful smile.

She would give her monthly salary to Xiao Shan, and Xiao Shan would give her ten yuan of pocket money every month.

She usually doesn't need to spend money, so she saved up all her pocket money and planned to buy Xiao Shan an outfit today.

Otherwise, how could she not show any appreciation if her husband bought her clothes every day?

The couple went to the second floor of the department store, where ready-made clothes were sold.

"Come on, let's pick out some clothes for you first." Xiao Shan enthusiastically pulled Ding Qiunan to the women's clothing section.

Anyway, at that time, there were only a few styles of Zhongshan suits for men, so there was really nothing to choose from.

Upon arriving at the women's clothing section, Xiao Shan discovered that there were also quite a few high heels on display.

However, these high heels are mostly handmade, so there are relatively few styles and designs.

Most of them are mid- to low-heeled black high heels for the workplace, and the styles are very simple.

Xiao Shan picked up a pair of black mid-heel leather shoes and said to Ding Qiunan, "These are perfect for you to wear to work, try them on!"

Seeing that Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan were well-dressed, the saleswoman standing nearby smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Hello, comrades, these high heels are our best-selling style."

As she spoke, the saleswoman lowered her head, slightly raised her right foot, and showed the shoes on her feet to Ding Qiunan: "We all wear this kind; the quality is excellent, and they are very comfortable to wear."

At that time, the department store was state-owned, and the sales clerks inside did not have any performance requirements; they had a secure job with the government.

The salesperson was willing to give Xiao Shan so much information simply because she could tell that Xiao Shan must be some kind of leader.

After all, these days, what else could someone wearing a Zhongshan suit, leather shoes, and a watch be but a leader?

Moreover, she was very observant and immediately noticed that the watches Xiao Shan and Ding Qiunan were wearing were not cheap.

Although it was a brand she had never seen before, she could tell it was quite valuable.

Therefore, she naturally did not want to offend someone as influential as Xiao Shan.

After all, there are countless leaders in Beijing.

Offending just one of them could cost you your job.

Hearing the sales clerk's recommendation, Ding Qiunan smiled slightly, then took the shoes from Xiao Shan, used the paper the sales clerk brought as a mat, and tried on the pair of high heels.

After putting it on, Ding Qiunan found that it was indeed similar to what the salesperson had said; it was very comfortable to wear and she did not feel any discomfort.

Xiao Shan was very satisfied with the black high heels, so he said to the sales clerk, "Great, I'll take these."

The sales clerk thought Xiao Shan was about to pay and said with a smile, "Comrade, this pair of high heels costs 80 yuan, plus a shoe voucher."

Upon hearing the price quoted by the salesperson, Ding Qiunan tugged at Xiao Shan's clothes and whispered, "Let's not get this, it's a bit too expensive!"

"Don't worry, your husband can afford it!" Xiao Shan patted Ding Qiunan's hand and said with a smile in a low voice.

Hearing Xiao Shan say this, and with a salesperson present, Ding Qiunan knew better than to say anything more.

"Comrade, please wrap up these for me first. I want to pick out two more pairs!" Xiao Shan said to the sales clerk with a smile after he had convinced Ding Qiunan.

Ignoring the sales clerk's reaction, Xiao Shan continued browsing the shelves.
