Chapter 130: The gap between Xu Damao and the others
Chapter 130: The gap between Xu Damao and the others
Sure enough, as soon as Li Kailang returned to the transport team, Li Huaide's secretary Wen Peixin found him.
"Secretary Wen, what does Director Li want to talk to me about?" Li Kailang asked.
Wen Peixin looked at Li Kailang meaningfully, "Nothing, there's just a problem with the amount of cement, Director Li wants to ask you about the situation."
"That's right! I haven't had the chance to tell Director Li about the cement matter." Li Kailang said believing it.
Soon, the two arrived at Li Huaide's office.
"Dong dong!"
"Please come in!"
"Director Li, Li Kailang is here!" Wen Peixin said.
"Xiao Li is here!" Li Huaide said while sitting on the chair.
When Li Huaide saw Li Kailang come in, he did not stand up to greet him.
Seeing this, Li Kailang still didn't understand what Li Huaide meant.
"Director Li, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?" Li Kailang asked calmly.
Li Huaide took Li Kailang's invoice for the past five days, frowned, and asked:
"Nothing. I saw you went to the cement factory again these days. Why is the cement you brought back so different from last month?"
"Here's the thing, Director Li, the cement factory changed the rules this month."
Li Kailang briefly explained the changes at the cement plant.
"Since there are changes, you should tell me in time!" Li Huaide said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Director Li, I was planning to tell you as soon as I got back, but Director Lu wanted to talk to me about something, so I had to deal with him first."
"Besides, transporting cement is the task you assigned to me. Each time I transport back only half of the fixed amount, which is already a lot." Li Kailang replied indifferently.
"Then why did you only bring back 100 bags last time?" Li Huaide asked again.
"This is not the result of the Second Factory's despicable tactics, but the big money is taken away by them!" Li Kailang replied.
In an instant, Li Huaide also understood the whole story and realized that he had misunderstood him.
"Is that so? That's not your fault. The people in the Second Factory are really capable. They are not afraid of any accidents when doing this!"
Li Kailang also did not tell Li Huaide that he had secretly given 100 bags of cement to the First Factory. He did not believe that Li Huaide would check those 100 bags of cement.
"I misunderstood you. Please sit down!" Li Huaide said quickly, and then glanced at Wen Peixin.
Wen Peixin immediately understood what he meant and poured Li Kailang a glass of water.
"Speaking of which, I wonder what Director Lu and the others want to talk to you about?"
This was exactly why Li Huaide came to find him, and he was not asking Director Lu, but the senior leader.
"It's nothing. It's just that the senior leader encouraged me in person and asked me to make more inventions and obtain more patents," Li Kailang explained.
"Is that all? Anything else?"
"What? Director Li, don't you believe me? I'm just a small employee. How can I have the ability to get the leader to give me special advice?" Li Kailang said dissatisfiedly.
"How could that be? That's not what I meant!" Li Huaide explained quickly.
Seeing that Li Kailang looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, Li Huaide believed it a little.
This might really be the case. Li Huaide learned from his father-in-law that the top leader had gained a lot of benefits because of Li Kailang's patent.
"Since that's the case, I misunderstood you, Xiao Li. Your boss values you so much, so you should work hard and make more inventions."
Li Huaide patted Li Kailang on the shoulder and encouraged him.
The more inventions Li Kailang made, the more benefits his father-in-law received.
The two chatted for a few more minutes, and Li Kailang stood up and prepared to leave.
"Director Li, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. The transport team still has tasks waiting for me."
"Yes, yes, yes, you go and do your own thing first." Li Huaide stood up and saw Li Kailang off.
Watching Li Kailang walk away, Wen Peixin walked up to Li Huaide and asked in a low voice: "Director, is what Li Kailang said true?"
Li Huaide pondered for a moment and said, "It should be true! You have also seen that with Li Kailang's personality, what great things can he do?"
"It seems that I misunderstood him." Wen Peixin nodded thoughtfully.
Wen Peixin hesitated and said, "Director Li, you can see the tone of Li Kailang's voice when he spoke to you just now. He was very dissatisfied. I am worried."
"Alas!" Li Huaide waved his hands repeatedly, "If I were suspected, I would do the same. If Li Kailang didn't do this, people might really suspect that he was bought off!"
"Alright, let's just leave it like this from now on. Just pretend that what happened today never happened. Just keep doing what happened before."
After saying this, Li Huaide was about to return to the office when he suddenly stopped.
"By the way, the canteen will be slaughtering pigs tomorrow. Go get a few pounds of meat for Li Kailang then."
"Okay, Director!" Wen Peixin said.
This meat is an apology to Li Kailang.
Li Huaide returned to his seat and looked in the direction of Director Lu.
"If I didn't know Xiao Li's character, I would have almost fallen into your trap."
"However, we have to be careful with Li Kailang. After all, if he shows his face in front of the big boss, it will be difficult to control him in the future."
"Zhang Jinwu's position cannot be changed. It will be difficult to deal with if he is promoted!"
"This Li Kailang is really stupid. He actually asked other masters to go with him. Doesn't this mean that he should be replaced by other masters?"
"Luckily, Li Kailang is still in the internship period, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with him."
"Alas, I don't have anyone under my command, it's really difficult to deal with it"
Li Huaide was thinking about the next plan, and everything was not favorable to Li Kailang.
This is where the rift between the two began.
----
After leaving Li Huaide, Li Kailang returned to the transport team.
Li Kailang told Zhang Jinwu everything that had happened. After listening to his explanation, Zhang Jinwu nodded.
"You have a lot to do today! You just came back from delivering cement and your boss called you away again. I'm still not as good as you! You've worked so hard!" Zhang Jinwu joked.
"Master. You're still in the mood to joke at this time." Li Kailang complained.
"Okay, isn't this exactly what you want? In the future, they won't come to you for help whether they have something to do or not, so you can have some free time." Zhang Jinwu patted Li Kailang's shoulder.
"That's true, but the intricacies inside are difficult to deal with. I still can't figure it out." Li Kailang sighed.
"What's so confusing about this? Li Huaide has already started to doubt you, and he won't use you in the future."
"Now there are other masters who can replace you in transporting cement, and you become unimportant." Zhang Jinwu explained patiently.
"If you hadn't handed in the invention, Li Huaide would still value you and wouldn't let you go. Now that's just what he wants."
"Master, do you think Li Huaide will really believe me?" Li Kailang guessed.
When Li Kailang said this, he himself didn't believe it.
"Just give up. With someone like Li Huaide, once he suspects you, it will be useless to save him unless you can provide greater help," Zhang Jinwu explained.
"That's true!" Li Kailang nodded.
This is Li Huaide's character. He values ability over nepotism.
"By the way, Master, you said I should go to Director Lu, what do you think?" Li Kailang asked.
Zhang Jinwu shook his head. "Not very good. You won't get any benefit from going to Director Lu now!"
"Besides, given the personalities of Director Lu and Deputy Director Yang, they care about the production workshop, not our logistics department."
"They definitely can't do this. They must have been instructed by the top leader." Zhang Jinwu flatly denied.
"Why do you think so?" Li Kailang asked puzzledly.
"Stupid! If they really did it, they wouldn't have left you aside during the meal." Zhang Jinwu gently tapped Li Kailang's head.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Everything will be fine in the future." Zhang Jinwu comforted.
"We drivers are technically qualified and don't need to deal with administrative issues. You should finish your internship period first," Zhang Jinwu continued.
"Yes, Master!" Li Kailang replied.
"I have another task here. Since you are free, just go and do it!" Zhang Jinwu handed a task list to Li Kailang.
Having something to do will prevent Li Kailang from thinking too much.
Li Kailang went out with the task list.
-
After transporting the supplies back to the factory, it was time to get off work shortly afterwards.
"unity is strength!"
"unity is strength!"
"This power is iron!"
"This power is steel!"
"Brother, Brother Zhang, aren't you leaving?"
"No, you go first. Brother Lu and I will go to the training ground to practice more!" Zhang Fen replied.
"Then you practice, I'll leave first!"
After saying that, Li Kailang rode away on his bike. When he left the gate, there were very few people. It was obvious that everyone was practicing in the factory, working hard for promotion and salary increase.
"Today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, hold on for another day, then it's Sunday."
Li Kailang hummed a little tune and rode his bike towards the courtyard.
"I feel relieved when I have nothing to do!"
Li Kailang returned home and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
It's not too late yet, and the water in the tank is still hot, perfect for taking a bath.
Ever since Li Kailang was rejected by Yan Bugui, no one else asked him to borrow the toilet.
Watching them running outside to use the toilet one by one and fighting for the toilet, Li Kailang felt how worthwhile it was for him to build the toilet!
While others are rushing to use the toilet, you can still lie at home and sleep a little longer.
"Wow, so cool!" After taking a shower, Li Kailang came out of the bathroom wearing only shorts, all wet.
Looking at my own muscular body, who wouldn't be confused?
It’s a pity that he can’t expose his body casually now, otherwise he would be charged with hooliganism and Li Kailang would have to spend three years in jail.
"It's a pity to have such muscles. I don't know which woman will be lucky enough to have them in the future?" Li Kailang said narcissistically.
"Knock knock!" At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Li Kailang was startled and shouted hurriedly, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Xu Damao!"
"It's Brother Xu! Wait a minute!" Li Kailang quickly put on his clothes. He didn't have the habit of meeting people naked.
"What are you doing? You haven't opened the door for so long!" Xu Damao shouted outside.
"Squeak~"
"Why are you rushing me? The hour has started. What do you want from me so late at night?" Li Kailang said unhappily.
"What's the matter? I'm looking for you to eat and drink!" As he said that, Xu Damao raised his hand and served Xifeng wine and roast chicken.
"Hey! What wind brought Brother Xu here? It's not a festival, but he's eating such a sumptuous meal!" Li Kailang said in surprise.
"Just tell me whether you want to eat it or not." Xu Damao said.
"Eat it. It would be a waste if you don't eat it! There's no reason not to eat the meat that's delivered to your door." Li Kailang said.
Li Kailang was not worried that Xu Damao would ask him to do something. The relationship between the two was rather dull and they basically had no intersection.
The most important thing is that there is no conflict of interest.
"Okay, you won't let me in. What's the point of blocking me at the door?" Xu Damao complained.
Hearing this, Li Kailang moved aside to let Xu Damao in.
"Hey! Wait! Put on your shoes first!" Li Kailang pointed to the slippers on the ground.
In recent days, when Li Kailang had free time, he built a shoe cabinet.
Although they are not big, they are enough for him. He has only three pairs of shoes in total: leather shoes, slippers and cotton shoes.
"I'm carrying something here, so it's hard to change my shoes. Forget about it."
"Oh, please don't. I'll help you get the things. Please don't dirty the floor. I'm too lazy to clean it by myself!" said Li Kailang.
"If you are so lazy, why don't you find a wife?" Xu Damao said unhappily.
"You haven't found a wife yet, have you? Do you want to wear it? If not, don't come in. I'd rather not eat than change my shoes." Li Kailang replied.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xu Damao said helplessly, "Here, take the thing." He handed the thing in his hand to Li Kailang.
On the one hand, Li Kailang did this because he was too lazy to clean, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use Xu Damao's big mouth to enforce rules in the yard.
The most important thing is to be on guard against this kid Banggeng. Given his character as a thief, he will definitely not wear slippers.
Li Kailang let Xu Damao in only after he put on his shoes.
The two walked to the dining table and sat down. Li Kailang asked:
"Tell me, why are you looking for me for no reason? I don't believe you would come to me for no reason."
"Hey, Xiao Li, how can you say that? Can't we two brothers get to know each other better?" Xu Damao asked back.
"Oh, I don't believe it!"
"Hey, I really can't escape your eyes. It's nothing, just thank you for sending me back." Xu Damao explained.
"Is that all?" Li Kailang asked.
Xu Damao was talking about the last time Li Kailang dropped him off.
"That's it! Do you think there is something else?" Xu Damao said.
"I thought it was something else, but it's not a big deal, there's no need to be so polite."
"That's enough. These two dishes are not enough for the two of us. I'll go get some more. Just wait. It will be ready soon!"
After saying that, Li Kailang went to the kitchen.
There happened to be some wine, so I could give Xu Damao a drink and make him blurt out what he had said.
After watching Li Kailang go in, Xu Damao finally had time to look at Li Kailang's house.
"This is a really nicely decorated house!" Xu Damao looked around and exclaimed
The room was brightly lit, almost as bright as day.
I looked at the sofa, fireplace and other furniture and couldn't help feeling a little envious.
"Why don't I find some time to make one?" Xu Damao thought.
"This guy Xiao Li looks careless usually, but I didn't expect that his home is so stylish." Xu Damao secretly admired in his heart.
While Xu Damao was thinking, Li Kailang was planning what dish to cook in the kitchen.
"There are still some steamed buns in the space. I can just take them out. And then make some spicy and sour potato shreds, fried cabbage and peanuts. It will be almost the same." Li Kailang thought to himself.
Xu Damao came too suddenly and he was not prepared. There was only staple food and peanuts to go with the rice in the ring, no other dishes.
After thinking it over, Li Kailang started cooking.
"Da da da~~~"
The sound of cutting vegetables came from the kitchen, waking up Xu Damao who was lost in thought.
Hearing the sound, Xu Damao walked into the kitchen curiously.
I saw Li Kailang busy there, cutting quickly with the kitchen knife in his hand, accompanied by the rhythmic sound of cutting vegetables.
"Wow! Your skills are really good! You're almost as good as Sha Zhu!" Xu Damao exclaimed.
To him, Sha Zhu is the best cook among the surrounding courtyards, and few people can surpass him.
Although I don't like Shazhu, I have to admit his cooking skills.
Sha Zhu's cooking skills are indeed good. After all, he is the descendant of Tan family cuisine and he also learned it in a restaurant. Although he only learned a hodgepodge, he is better than many chefs.
It's a pity that he didn't know how to control his words and ended up killing himself.
After a while, Li Kailang prepared the spicy and sour potato shreds and fried cabbage, and then took out the steamed buns and peanuts that were placed aside.
"Okay, four dishes, enough for us."
The portions of food Li Kailang cooked were quite large, enough for the two of them to have a meal.
"Enough, enough! This amount of food will take me a whole day to eat." Xu Damao said.
He picked up the glass and poured white wine into it, saying, "Come on, let's have a drink first!"
He clinked glasses with Li Kailang and then drank the wine in one gulp.
Then Xu Damao looked at Li Kailang and said doubtfully, "Could it be that you are not capable of this?"
"It's not something I can just say!" Li Kailang also drank it all in one gulp.
"You have a good alcohol tolerance!" Xu Damao filled Li Kailang's glass again.
Seeing this, Xu Damao poured Li Kailang more wine. Li Kailang naturally did not dare to show weakness and drank three glasses in a row.
After three cups, Xu Damao's face began to turn red.
"Okay, let's eat. Drinking alone is not a good idea, right?"
"Well, eat some food!" Li Kailang also didn't like drinking alone because it would hurt his stomach.
The two of them ate and chatted.
As Xu Damao ate and drank, he gradually became drunk and started talking without thinking, saying everything.
"Looks like he really is here to drink!" Li Kailang muttered to himself, "I thought he really came to see me for something?"
"Xiao Li, let me tell you something." Xu Damao's voice became weaker and weaker, and he began to snore.
Apparently asleep.
"Xu Damao, Xu Damao!"
Li Kailang pushed Xu Damao and saw that he didn't respond. He really fell asleep.
"Yes! We have to drag Xu Damao back!"
Li Kailang didn't intend to keep Xu Damao, so he dragged Xu Damao's arm and tried to help him go home.
Although he drank a lot of alcohol, Li Kailang was not drunk. His modified body gave him an amazing alcohol tolerance.
Most importantly, Li Kailang discovered a little trick when drinking.
He can collect the wine into the ring, which means that when the wine enters his mouth, the wine can be collected into the ring instead of entering Li Kailang's mouth.
This way you won’t be afraid of drinking or getting drunk. With this ability, you won’t be afraid of others forcing you to drink!
