Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 547 Ushered in, caught off guard

afternoon.

  Jiang Ping'an and He Yushui pushed their bicycles out of the courtyard one after the other.

  The two of them went to the small courtyard and completely let go of their intimacy. He Yushui no longer had to worry too much.

  Jiang Ping'an was naturally full of energy, and had a good time.

  The next day, the third day of the Lunar New Year.

  Jiang Ping'an originally planned to go to He Wenhui, but he never thought that someone would come to give gifts early in the morning.

  Many people came, including those from the rolling mill and its subordinate units, as well as from the urban areas and counties.

  Jiang Ping'an's network completely exploded on the third day of the Lunar New Year this year.

  From 7 o'clock in the morning, people came to Jiang Ping'an's house in an endless stream.

  By noon, there were at least a few hundred people, all of whom had some status.

   Not only the people in the courtyard were surprised, but even Jiang Ping'an was taken aback.

  Before Chinese New Year, he always went to the countryside. He really didn't know that so many people would come to give gifts.

   These people will naturally not come empty-handed, they all carry cigarettes, wine, tea, sugar and so on.

  Because of the large number of people, the people who came to give gifts were also interested. They met Jiang Ping'an face to face, exchanged greetings and left.

   Until half past eleven, the number of people who came gradually decreased.

   Throughout the morning, Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru spent the whole morning welcoming and seeing off guests.

  Many of the guests left without even drinking a sip of tea, otherwise there really wouldn’t be so many people staying at home.

   Naturally, because of the large number of people, even if Jiang Pingan tried to persuade the guests to stay for dinner, they were all declined one by one.

   Just kidding, hundreds of people came to the door, even if they dared to stay, Jiang Ping'an would not dare to really treat them!

  How many rice noodles and meals do you have to eat!

  Pursuing someone to stay for dinner is just a formality, and everyone understands it.

  After they were free, Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru came to the innermost bedroom, staring at the room full of gifts in a daze.

  Yan Bugui, who helped register and write the gift book, was also in the room, and his head was dizzy when he saw these things.

  Tobacco, wine, tea, sugar, bacon, rice noodles, etc., there are all kinds of gifts, piled up in piles.

  Just talking about cigarettes and alcohol, the quantity is more than a thousand, and they are all good cigarettes and alcohol.

   "Third Master, when I went to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, did someone come over to give gifts?"

  Jiang Pingan took a deep breath and asked with a smile.

  Yan Bugui thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "A lot of people have asked if you are there, but none of them really gave gifts."

   "I said, no one came to give gifts yesterday, but today they all came." Jiang Ping'an suddenly said.

   "It must be that someone came to inquire yesterday, knowing that I didn't go to the country this year."

  Yan Bugui said in amazement, "Tsk tsk, you have really seen your connections today."

   "Good guy, I counted the gift book just now, so far, there are 628 people who have come to give gifts."

  Outside the window, there were also people peeking around. There are so many gifts, all of which are enviable.

  Jiang Ping'an didn't hide it either. These things seemed to be a lot, but they were kept aboveboard.

   But more or less, Jiang Ping'an is still a little guilty, after all, there are too many.

  He took the gift book in Yan Bugui's hand, and muttered:

   "I'm going to take this to the factory for filing tomorrow. I really didn't expect it to happen today."

  Of course he wouldn't think of it, after all, he had gone to the countryside in the past few years.

  So many people came today, it really caught him off guard.

  There are so many gifts, if I don’t take the initiative to explain clearly to the factory leaders, someone will make a fuss about it.

  Yan Bugui smiled and said: "This is all a favor, and I will pay it back in the future."

   It's no wonder Jiang Ping'an hasn't been able to save any money these years. It costs a lot just to make so many connections.

  So Yan Bugui was envious, but he was also shocked by so many gifts.

  Obviously, these gifts are not so easy to receive. Human relations are naturally two-way, you come and go.

   "Hehe, I have been sending out gifts all these years, and many people came here to return the gifts." Jiang Ping'an laughed.

  A large part of this is that Jiang Ping'an helped people get supplies, and others returned favors.

  At the same time, he also wanted to maintain his relationship with Jiang Pingan by giving gifts.

   Others don't know, but Jiang Ping'an does.

  Twenty years later, there will only be more and more people looking for him to help with supplies, not fewer.

  And the network of contacts is slowly weaving together in this way.

   Obviously, the people who came to give gifts today are only a very small part of Jiang Pingan's network.

  Many people don't know that Jiang Ping'an didn't go to the countryside to celebrate the New Year this year, otherwise there would be more people coming today.

   Qin Jingru looked at so many things, frowned and said: "There are too many things, can't they be piled up here all the time?"

   "Haha, isn't the more supplies the better?" Jiang Ping'an laughed out loud.

   "Don't worry, I will find a way to get rid of these gifts after I go to the factory to file for the record tomorrow."

  Yan Bugui said: "It's almost dinner time, so there probably aren't many people coming."

   "You guys are busy first, so I'll go back first."

  Jiang Pingan took out a bag of peony and handed it over, and said with a smile:

   "I'm delaying your New Year's Eve today, this pack of cigarettes must be accepted."

   "Don't! I just help with writing and drawing, but it really doesn't help much." Yan Bugui quickly refused.

   Just kidding, Jiang Ping'an's favor is the rarest, he doesn't want to be dismissed by a pack of cigarettes.

  Jiang Pingan insisted on giving it to him, and said: "Third Master, you accept the cigarettes, and I will also write down the favor."

   "Whatever happens in the future, as long as you don't violate the principle, you can just speak up."

  Yan Bugui couldn't shirk it, so he had to put the cigarette away, and said repeatedly: "You're welcome, you're too polite!"

  After Yan Bugui left, Jiang Ping'an saw that the window was still full of people, and couldn't help saying loudly:

   "Don't you even eat? Don't look at it, these things are just recorded here, and they will be returned to others in the future!"

   Everyone dispersed and went home. Jiang Pingan also took the opportunity to close the curtains.

   In fact, he intended to be seen.

   It's not to show off, but because the more this matter is hidden, the easier it is to cause accidents.

   On the contrary, he is generous, and others will not say anything.

  Turning around, Jiang Ping'an murmured, "We won't be able to stay in the courtyard next year during the Chinese New Year."

   "Yeah, I've been to the countryside, it's too scary today." Qin Jingru said hastily.

  Although she is a money addict, she also knows the importance.

  Jiang Pingan received so many presents this year, he was caught off guard, as long as he confessed to the factory, it would be fine.

   But if so many gifts are received every year, Jiang Pingan, a cadre, is afraid that he will be investigated by his superiors.

   "There are at least a few thousand dollars here? Can you go to the factory and talk about it?" Qin Jingru worried.

  Jiang Ping'an thought for a while, then pondered: "It's easy to say, just report it bluntly."

   "The leaders in the factory also know that I have a wide network of contacts. This is no secret."

   "However, so many people give me gifts, it is probably beyond their expectations."

   "So these things can't be moved for the time being. I will ask people from the disciplinary department to come and count and make a record."

   This matter should not be afraid of trouble. Trouble now is to avoid trouble in the future.

   Only when the matter is cleared up at the time of the incident, no one will turn over old accounts in the future.
