Chapter 100: Return to Wangjia Village
Chapter 100: Return to Wangjia Village
No matter what everyone thinks, Li Kailang still lives his life as usual.
The next day, Li Kailang went straight to Li Huaide's office.
"咚咚-"
"Come in!" Li Huaide raised his head and saw Li Kailang, then invited him in with a smile on his face.
"Director Li, excuse me!"
"Master Li!" Li Huaide stood up happily to greet him.
From the address, Li Huaide knew that Li Kailang had accepted his enticement.
"Director Li, I thought about it yesterday. You are right. Young people must learn to take responsibility."
"Great, great! It's great that Master Li thinks this way!" Li Huaide praised repeatedly.
Li Kailang said modestly: "Director Li, please don't call me Master Li. Just call me Xiao Li. I am not worthy of the title of Master Li yet."
Li Huaide smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, the name Master Li is indeed too formal. Since you said so, I will call you Xiao Li from now on!"
After hearing what Li Kailang said, Li Huaide even changed his address, which meant he had completely devoted himself to his work.
However, by doing this, Li Kailang had the ability to join the master, but in reality, he did not truly gain the title of a master.
Li Kailang's skills are good, but he has not yet completed his internship. Everyone calls him Master, but it is just a respectful title because of Li Kailang's skills.
Li Kailang is still at risk of losing his driver status.
At this moment, the relationship between the two seemed to have taken a step closer, and the conversation between them became much more familiar, no longer as unfamiliar as yesterday.
After chatting for a while, seeing that Li Kailang had not left, even a fool would know that something was wrong with Li Kailang.
"Xiao Li, do you have anything else to say?"
"Director Li, didn't you give me a sewing ticket yesterday? I went to buy a sewing machine yesterday afternoon."
"But I thought about it. What if someone suspected that the sewing machine I bought was of unknown origin? So I would like to trouble you to help me get a certificate."
"Why, are you worried about someone's revenge? Tell me who it is and I'll help you solve it."
Li Kailang is now a general under Li Huaide. He has just come up and must not be allowed to get hurt.
As for calling the police, nowadays everyone is more or less unclean, and if you pull out the radish, you will bring out the mud.
Everyone has been to the black market to some extent. Generally, tickets that are not explicitly stated are bought from the black market.
"No, when I bought a sewing machine yesterday, I also bought a radio. Now I have three wheels and one ring, and I'm afraid people will say I'm of unknown origin." Li Kailang said bluntly.
"Xiao Li, that's really great. You're so young, but you've collected all three turns and one ring! Don't worry, I'll give you a certificate now!" Li Huaide said approvingly.
He didn't expect that Li Kailang was so powerful that he even bought the three turns and one ring. This would cost a lot of money, and the lack of a clear origin is indeed suspicious!
However, all this money was paid by Li Kailang himself. It was all the money left by the original owner's parents. There were more than 700 yuan in total, and he only spent more than 400 yuan.
Li Huaide quickly wrote the certificate for the gift of sewing tickets and signed his name on it.
"By the way, Xiao Li, do you want me to write you another IOU?" Li Huaide asked again.
"Okay, then I'll trouble Director Li!" Li Kailang naturally would not refuse.
Now that he has become Li Huaide's subordinate, it would be a waste if he didn't take the IOU.
And with this IOU, I can find an excuse to say that the money was borrowed, which can also alleviate suspicion.
Li Huaide quickly wrote the IOU and repayment note and handed them to Li Kailang.
As a large item, Li Huaide naturally knew the price of a sewing machine.
In addition, he also wrote a repayment note to prove that Li Kailang had repaid the money.
It must be said that Li Huaide has his own strengths to be able to sit in the position of deputy factory director. He is smooth and thoughtful in his work.
He didn't care about the mere 150 yuan, but he knew that the people below would definitely care.
What he did was tantamount to buying people's hearts with this small amount of money. It not only demonstrated his power and means, but also made the people below him grateful to him.
"Xiao Li, keep these documents well, so that you don't have to worry about people saying you are of unknown origin!" Li Huaide handed the two notes to Li Kailang and said.
"Thank you, Director Li!" Li Kailang shouted gratefully.
After the two chatted briefly, Li Huaide left because he had a meeting to attend.
Li Kailang also returned to the transport team.
Because he had to go to Li Huaide, Li Kailang asked Lu Wenjiang to help him take the task.
Fortunately, I have completed most of the tasks in the past few days. The work is not too heavy. I only need to complete daily tasks in the next few days.
Lu Wenjiang helped Li Kailang take on the task of going to the machinery factory.
There was nothing much to say, so Li Kailang took the task list and set off.
Originally, Li Kailang wanted Zhang Fen to go out with him.
"Forget it, forget it, I'm tired from going out these past few days, you go by yourself!"
Zhang Fen first followed Lu Wenjiang out of the city, and then followed the other masters. He was physically and mentally exhausted, so he took advantage of the light workload today to rest.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest!"
Li Kailang delivered the steel to the machinery factory. On the way back, Li Kailang remembered that he wanted to buy a grinding wheel.
"Which village should we go to?" Li Kailang thought for a moment and came up with the answer.
"It's a good opportunity to go to Wangjia Village. There are a lot of good things there!" Wangjia Village is the village that Li Kailang agreed to sell black pork.
"Rumble--"
Li Kailang drove into Wangjia Village. When the villagers saw the license plate, they thought of Li Kailang.
"Master Li is here, everyone go and take a look!" a villager shouted.
Li Kailang is one of the few drivers who comes to their village, and everyone remembers Li Kailang's license plate.
Village chief Wang also received the news and rushed back to the village immediately.
Soon, Li Kailang arrived at the center of the village.
"Village Chief Wang, long time no see!"
"Master Li, long time no see!"
The two hadn't seen each other for almost half a month.
"Why didn't Purchasing Manager Wang come?" Village Chief Wang looked at Li Kailang who was alone.
"Wang's purchasing has been upgraded and there are new purchasing routes. I have been busy with the new routes during this period."
Li Kailang did not hide it. After all, Wang Changjun would never have come here if he hadn't driven here.
Hearing this, Village Chief Wang felt a little disappointed.
Having tasted the sweetness of the first time, they are now very greedy for Wang Changjun, but it is only fleeting. After all, it is very common for no buyers to come.
"I wonder what Master Li wants to do to come here?"
"It's not a big deal, I just want to ask, Village Chief Wang, do you have any extra millstones? Can you sell me one?"
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Wang immediately said, "That's easy. There are many millstones in our village that are unused. I'll just give you one!"
"That won't do. I want more than one. Let's do it the way we want!" Li Kailang said.
"Okay! I'll take you to see it."
Village chief Wang didn't say anything else and took Li Kailang to each house to look at the idle millstones.
The millstones come in different sizes, with the smallest one meter in diameter and weighing about 450 kilograms.
The largest one is about two meters in diameter and weighs about 1200 kilograms.
"Village Chief Wang, I need three millstones. Is that okay?"
"It's okay. These are unused and unused. Take them if you want!" Village Chief Wang said nonchalantly.
Even if these millstones are useful, it doesn't matter if they are given to Li Kailang. They can make a new one themselves.
"Okay, then these three. Please help me move them to the car."
"Okay." Everyone responded.
These idle millstones are of no use to them, so it's just right that someone is willing to buy them.
So everyone followed Village Chief Wang to help him move the millstone onto the cart.
"Village Chief Wang, please calculate how much it is and I will give it to you!" Li Kailang said.
"How about this, just give me 20 yuan." Village Chief Wang said directly.
Li Kailang didn't waste any time and just took out 20 yuan.
Neither of them cared about the money. Since Li Kailang dared to buy a pig, he must be rich.
"By the way, Master Li, do you know when Wang the Purchaser will come next time? Our village has stored a lot of things these days."
Li Kailang thought for a while and to be honest, Wang Changjun would never come again without him driving, not before, let alone now.
But the supplies here are quite abundant, and it is far away from the town, so it will not cause any trouble. It is an excellent place and Li Kailang does not want to give it up.
"Village Chief Wang, may I have a word with you?"
The two walked to a corner.
"Village Chief Wang, you know that Wang the Purchaser rarely comes here. I can drive here from time to time. I plan to have private purchases in Wangjia Village in the future."
"I wonder if it will work? Of course the price will be based on the factory's purchase price."
"Okay, no problem!" Village Chief Wang agreed without hesitation.
Are you kidding me? If we keep these supplies, which we can neither eat nor use, and wait for them to spoil, isn't that a waste?
Besides, it doesn’t matter who you sell it to, you might as well sell it to Li Kailang.
Li Kailang did this because all the supplies in his ring were gone and he felt empty. If he bought too much in the city, he would attract unnecessary attention.
It is now 5 months, and it is not long before the famine, just a few months, and it will cost only a hundred dollars at most.
The two briefly discussed some details. Li Kailang came about once every two weeks, and transactions were only in cash, without tickets.
After all, if there were tickets, transactions would be too troublesome!
"By the way, Master Li, we have a lot of supplies on hand now. Why don't you purchase some now?" said Village Chief Wang.
"Okay! That's exactly what I meant!"
Li Kailang started purchasing according to Wang Changjun's purchase price, and the villagers didn't say anything.
Soon, Li Kailang left Wangjia Village with ten yuan worth of purchased supplies and three stone millstones.
Li Kailang drove to an empty road, put all these things into the ring, cleaned the carriage, and drove back to the steel mill.
