The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

It was the first time I saw such an operation. It was really a waste of money. My uncle said politely:
"Does it cost a lot to register so many names?"

"It's a lot. But, Xiao Ming said that our products will definitely become famous, so it's money well spent."

Lou Xiao'e continued: "Although the economy on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait is much worse than that of the port city, with a population of 1300 million, the actual market size will not be smaller than that of the port city."

"We also plan to find an agency for help in advance and register some names there."

I was so impressed that I couldn't express my admiration. My uncle gave me a thumbs up and praised, "You have a long-term vision!"

Li Ming said casually: "The small island in the strait is just a casual chess game for the time being. If there are dates or no dates, you can play two strokes. Some people there have ugly eating looks. It's hard to say what happens next."

The elder brother-in-law thought of his brother-in-law's possible identity, and the two parties obviously refused to deal with it, so he agreed.

Several professional managers rushed to the company one after another, and Li Ming returned to the capital after holding a regular meeting.

In recent days, notices from above have been issued one after another.

He received one as soon as he returned to the office.

".Notice on walking issues"

'Due to the large number of people going to Beijing,..., Luding Bridge,... and other places, they are crowded together. In addition, the weather is cold, and it is extremely difficult to arrange food, accommodation, and transportation. '

'It also affects the production and life of local people. '

'besides.. '

I found many reasons.

Finally, four requirements were given.

'15. You can receive free direct tickets to take trains and ships within [-] days.If you are not on a railway line, you should walk to a nearby railway line and take a train. '

The first three are for everyone to stop walking long distances and go home quickly.

'Article 2. Visitors from other places in Beijing who have not yet paid for meals will have to pay for meals starting from February 8 and will no longer be free. '

February 2th is New Year's Eve, and there is a special statement to point it out. The meaning is obvious. We have been eating and drinking in the capital for more than half a year. Those who celebrate the New Year should go back to their homes.

The happiest people are those who have the task of hosting.

Finally sent these uncles away.

The number of people who have to stay even if they have to pay for food can only be a very small number. Without reimbursement, most people don’t have the ability to spend money for a long time.

Meals for individual people can be provided in any school cafeteria.

The reception work is finally over.

Although it will not be until March 3th that another announcement will be made to cancel the series scheduled for this year’s spring.

Because it is getting tighter and tighter, everyone is required to carry forward the fine style of hard work, plain living, thrift and thrift, and prevent extravagance and waste.

Publicity expenses and medical expenses will only be slightly subsidized when necessary.

At this time, many people have decided that there will no longer be free food and drink.

Bang bang bang bang bang.

Xu Damao also knocked on the door of the Security Section Chief's office.

"Please come in." Li Ming's emotionless voice came out.

As soon as he opened the door, Xu Damao bent down and said with a smile: "Xiao Ming. I really didn't make up the rumor this time."

Li Ming did not pretend to be inexplicably ignorant, which would appear hypocritical or show that he had no control over the security department and the steel rolling mill.

It doesn't fit in with the character he has been building.

He asked directly: "What's going on?"

He did not sit down and continued to bend down to reply. Xu Damao quickly defended:

"They all went behind my back and didn't let me know about it. I just heard this rumor, so I hurried over to you to explain it clearly."

"I have conflicts with Chen Liuman, but I don't dare to play anyone's mind with you."

"If I had spread the rumor, I would have no hope of having children in my life."

Although the original hope was slim, Xu Damao was able to tell such a vicious oath, and there was a high probability that he was really wronged.

Li Ming asked: "What's going on between you and Chen Liuman?"

Seeing that Section Chief Li believed it, Xu Damao put his heart back into his stomach.

"Chen Liuman is a petty person. When he saw that I was favored by Director Li, he tried to trip me up."

"Last time, I was falsely accused of drugging the police team. He punished me for personal revenge. It was you who saved me."

"After that, Chen Liuman probably thought that I had a grudge and targeted me everywhere. As a deputy team leader, I couldn't compete with him as the team leader, so I was often made difficult and bullied by him."

Normal people would hold grudges, and Xu Damao, who was determined to retaliate, was definitely filled with secret resentment.

However, these nonsense matters have nothing to do with Section Chief Li.

Li Ming said dissatisfied: "Okay, you go tell Director Li these things."

"Now, please explain clearly what happened this time. Why does it involve me?"

Xu Damao didn't dare to continue rambling, "I really don't know who started the rumor now. I thought about it carefully on the way here."

"Either Chen Liuman is shouting to catch the thief, or someone wants to use you to take Chen Liuman and me away."

"Everyone in our factory recognizes that your ability is enough to unseat Director Li."

"It's a piece of cake to deal with Chen Liuman and I, just one sentence."

His posture was very low, Xu Damao really didn't dare to offend Section Chief Li.

In addition to good luck and high theoretical level, the key is that he is also good at playing!

There is a rumor among the people that even the entire Security Department cannot defeat Section Chief Li.

At this time, unless there is a special instruction from a great mentor that is not conducive to Section Chief Li, most people have nothing to do with Section Chief Li.

Such instructions are impossible.

Section Chief Li, who controls the security department and the inspection team, has a transcendent status in the steel rolling mill.

This is also the reason why Director Li and Deputy Director Nie did not allow Section Chief Li to resign as a committee member.

If the person with the most power in the factory does not join the Duo Committee, the employees in the factory may have other considerations.

Xu Damao may not be able to do anything else, but he can bend and bend when facing Section Chief Li.

After blocking Xu Damao's flattery, Li Ming ordered: "This task will be left to you. Find out who is sowing discord."

Xu Damao still has some self-awareness, "Xiao Ming, you know my abilities. How can I find out."

Li Ming said impatiently: "It's not difficult. Just ask them to pass the test one by one and ask them where they heard it and who they heard it from."

"Go and tell Vice Captain Jin that it was me who said it. In addition to completing the tasks assigned by Director Li, the first priority for you and Chen Liuman is to find out who is instigating the trouble."

Afraid of offending Section Chief Li, Xu Damao did not dare to say any more, and responded with a low eyebrow, "I'll go right away."

Take advantage of the fact that there are no meetings in the factory.

Li Ming drove his beloved minivan to Zhou Xiaobai's house to deliver New Year's gifts.

I didn’t go in the morning because Zhou Xiaobai’s parents were not at home.

At this time, it may be more suitable in the afternoon to be inconspicuous.

Everyone already knows that there will be no holidays during the New Year, so he should keep a low profile.

The reasons for not taking a holiday are indeed very valid and marketable at this moment.

After all, there is always a lot of eating and drinking during the Chinese New Year. There is a lot of drinking, gambling, praying to gods and ancestors, and a lot of extravagance and waste.

It is considered to be a time when these old customs and habits are overflowing.

It is obviously contrary to the new customs and habits of diligence and thrift.

Li Ming also agreed that bad habits such as alcoholism, gambling, extravagance and waste should indeed be eliminated.

Coupled with the nature of their work in the security department, it makes no difference whether they take a holiday or not.

We all face difficulties together, we all work together, no one takes a day off, he supports us with both hands and feet.

In addition to the requirement to be thrifty and create new trends.

In fact, there is another very important objective factor.It can be said to be the most fundamental factor.

At this time, production planning, command and dispatch, enterprise production, transportation, etc. are all out of order and chaotic.

There are already difficulties with normal material supply.

If we celebrate the Spring Festival with a lot of food and drink like in previous years, and the supply cannot keep up, the shortage of materials in the market will be even more obvious.

I couldn’t buy anything during the holidays, which made me feel even more unhappy.

Just keep going to work!
Of course, no matter how short of supplies the market is, it can’t be done by Li Ming.

The minivan had a pass and drove directly to the door of Zhou Xiaobai's house. After getting off the truck, Li Ming carried two full cloth bags.

Zhou Xiaobai heard the sound of the pickup truck and ran to the door.

"Where's uncle and aunt?"

"My mother said she would come back, but she hasn't come back yet. My father doesn't know when he will come back."

Li Ming stopped Zhou Xiaobai who wanted to help carry the bag.

"One bag is from land, and one bag is from the sea. You can't even lift it."

Zhou Xiaobai was very interested and said coquettishly: "I want to see what's inside."

"Go back to the house first, and I'll let you check them one by one later."

"Ah."

In addition to the cold outside, Zhou Xiaobai also knew that he shouldn't stay outside for too long to avoid attracting attention.

"Don't we have a meeting in the factory in the afternoon?"

"There is no need for a meeting. Even if there is a meeting, I will take leave."

"It's better to ask for less leave, so that the factory leaders won't have any opinions on you."

"Haha. I need more leave to reassure the factory leaders."

Zhou Xiaobai asked strangely: "Why?"

"People who keep asking for leave when they have nothing to do have no ambition and would not think of pulling them down."

Li Ming said proudly: "I'm not bragging to you. If your man and I oppose anyone in the factory, that person will definitely go down."

"So if I take leave and don't get involved in factory affairs, the factory leaders will feel more at ease."

Zhou Xiaobai said with a smile: "I know you are the best."

On the living room table.

Zhou Xiaobai took out two pieces of bacon wrapped in plastic bags, "What are these?"

Li Ming introduced: "The bacon comes from Guangdong Province. It is a bit hard after being dried. I cut a little bit at a time and use it for cooking. It is delicious."

"Tell your mother later that you need to store it in an unheated kitchen, otherwise it will go bad soon."

Zhou Xiaobai pointed at the bag and said, "I know bacon, but I have never seen this kind of bag."

Li Ming explained: "It is a bag made of plastic. I will take this away later. Foreign things are not suitable to be left at your home."

In 59, Sten Gustav Turin, a packaging designer from Ruijie, because people used a large number of paper bags, the raw materials of paper bags are trees, consuming a lot of forests.

In order to reduce the felling of trees, a bag was designed that is both lightweight and durable, and can be used again and again.

Plastic bags were born and quickly became popular.

People's usage habits are to blame for white pollution. Designers cannot be blamed for treating items that have been used multiple times as disposable.

Zhou Xiaobai was surprised: "You can even get foreign things now?"

Li Ming deceived and said: "I exchanged greenhouse vegetables for others. It's a mess outside now, and no one cares about many things."

"Oh."

It was reasonable, Zhou Xiaobai did not continue to ask, and then looked through the gifts. There were hams, sausages, etc.

"Are these snacks wrapped in paper?"

"Yes. Egg waffles, pineapple buns, pineapple cakes, let your parents try some southern snacks."

Zhou Xiaobai was a little curious, "Egg Waffle?"

"Eggs, flour, sugar, cream and other ingredients are made into a paste, then poured into a mold and baked into an egg shape. You can also call it egg cake or egg cake."

"taste good or not?"

"good to eat."

"You said it tastes good. Then we'll eat the egg waffles first."

"You don't have to wait for your parents to come back?"

"I didn't expect you to bring so many good things here. I can't let my father know about it. I'll let my mother collect some of them later."

Li Ming said with a smile: "Then you, mother and daughter, will eat secretly at home from now on?"

Zhou Xiaobai explained: "My dad doesn't care about the family or the money. The food is placed on the table. No matter whether it's good or bad, he never cares about what he eats."

"Your dad is easy to support."

"Actually, it's not just my dad who is like this, but many uncles and aunts in the courtyard are like this."

While chatting, Zhou Xiaobai opened another bag, "So many dried fish, sea cucumbers, and many more that I don't recognize."

"So much food is enough for our family to eat for a whole year."

Li Ming arranged it according to the two-month supply of the small courtyard in the west of the city. "How is this possible?"

Zhou Xiaobai said while watching: "My dad is often not at home, so my family doesn't actually cook much."

"We often go to the agency canteen next door to buy food and vegetables. The food there is good and the price is affordable."

"So that's it." Li Ming was a little embarrassed.

The two of them occasionally talked on the phone during the day, usually in the afternoon. He would only ask Zhou Xiaobai if he had a good lunch break.

He was very busy in bed at night and had no time to ask her what she had eaten during the day. Besides, it was not the right time to ask her in that situation.

Li Ming really didn't know the cooking situation of Zhou Xiaobai's family.

"No wonder your mother's cooking skills are average and she lacks opportunities to practice."

Zhou Xiaobai said with a guilty conscience: "Actually, it's not bad."

“I don’t know how to get these unfamiliar dishes to eat!”

Li Ming thought of the recipe Sha Zhu was still writing, "There is a chef in my courtyard. He is the chef of our factory canteen. His cooking skills are not bad."

"He listened to my suggestion and has been writing recipes when he has free time recently. I asked him to write down the recipes for these ingredients and then bring the recipe over so that he can try it out."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said: "This is a good method. I will make it for you after I learn it."

"Don't go learn it, let your mother learn it. Housework such as cooking and washing dishes will hurt your little hands. You can just read and study at home."

Zhou Xiaobai said angrily: "How can it be like that? I will pay more attention."

Li Ming hugged her from behind and said with a smile: "Your soft little hands are comfortable for me to touch."

No longer looking at the gift, Zhou Xiaobai leaned in her boyfriend's arms and said in a soft and sweet voice, "If you spoil me, I won't be able to do anything in the future."

"I have already thought about it for you. If you study well, you can become a scientist in the future. I will arrange for people to do the housework."

"What kind of scientist do you want me to be?"

"I haven't thought about this. Physics, chemistry, astronomy, geography, biology, electronics, mechanical engineering, etc., you can do whatever you like."

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Zhou Xiaobai is also arrogant. She feels she is competent in scientific research.

Since she was confident, she also thought of doing something that could help her boyfriend.

Li Ming asked doubtfully: "Help me?"

Zhou Xiaobai held his hand and said, "Yes, what can I study that can help you?" (End of Chapter)
