Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 4 Head of Procurement Section

The reason Zhang Weiguo said these words was that he wanted to be assigned to an easier position. He didn't want to be assigned to a particularly busy position.

After all, Zhang Weiguo just wanted to find a place to develop in peace and security. He didn't want to climb up the ladder and just wanted to get through the ten years of turmoil in peace. There was no need for him to be too proactive.

"Is it that serious?"

Deputy Director Li said with concern: "Weiguo, I will bring you an old mountain ginseng from my home tomorrow. You should go back and take good care of yourself. You still need to rest well."

Zhang Weiguo knew that this was a method used by Deputy Director Li to win people's hearts. It must be said that such a method made people feel very comfortable. What's more, considering Deputy Director Li's identity, this old ginseng was at least fifty years old.

"Thank you, Brother Li."

Li Huaide was very happy that Zhang Weiguo could accept it, so he could bring Zhang Weiguo to his team.

"Chief Yang, are there any important leadership positions vacant at our Red Star Steel Mill?"

"Director Li, I wonder what the administrative level of Comrade Zhang Weiguo will be after his transfer?"

"The administrative level of a battalion-level officer who has retired is 16th in our factory, which is the level of a section chief."

"There are four positions at the section level: the captain of the public security brigade, the chief of the third purchasing department, the chief of the warehouse management department, and the canteen director. A total of four positions are vacant."

These four positions all belong to departments with real power. It seems that Deputy Factory Director Li has already informed Deputy Section Chief Yang in advance.

Otherwise, Deputy Section Chief Yang would not have mentioned these four departments at once.

"Weiguo, let me tell you about the work directions of these four positions. Do you think which one is suitable for you?"

"The public security brigade has a total of 120 people. Their main job is to mediate conflicts and disputes among workers. If any workers cause trouble, they are handed over to the public security brigade for handling."

"The Purchasing Department has three departments in total."

The main task of Section 1 is to strive to get more planned materials every year.

The main job of Section 2 is to allocate materials with other factories.

Finally, there is the third department. Our factory is a large one, so we have to deal with some personal relationships and entertainment. These materials cannot be purchased from the planned materials, so we have to purchase them by ourselves.

In this way, three departments came into being, which were responsible for the supplies for entertaining guests, purchasing some supplies, replenishing the shortage of planned materials, and improving the food problems of workers.

After hearing this, Zhang Weiguo decided to become the head of the purchasing department. For others, purchasing supplies might be a little difficult, but Zhang Weiguo had a portable space.

I'm worried about how to digest these supplies.

This job is really suitable for Zhang Weiguo.

The Warehouse Management Department manages all the warehouses of our steel rolling mill. All incoming and outgoing materials must be registered every day, and there cannot be any mistakes.

The last position is the canteen director. This director is in charge of all the canteens. However, the previous canteen director was found to have embezzled money while on the job, so no one has been appointed to this position.

There are now three canteens in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and the canteen director is responsible for managing these three canteens.

"So, which position do you want to go for?"

"Brother Li, I want to go to purchase three departments."

"I have some connections in Sijiu City and can get supplies."

"Okay, since you are confident that you can get the supplies."

Now that the work problem has been solved, the only problem left is accommodation.

"Our steel mill cadres are all allocated housing. There are simple buildings for them to live in. Section-level cadres can live in 50 square meters. How about that?"

To be honest, people of this generation are very eager to live in a building.

I feel like I live in a building and am superior to others.

However, this does not include Zhang Weiguo, as he has long been tired of living in a building.

The term "simple building" sounds nice, it is actually a tube-shaped building with a corridor connecting one room to another. There is no water supply or drainage, and there are no toilets in the rooms.

Everything is shared, and apart from living upstairs, it is no different from a slum.

Zhang Weiguo said he wanted to live in a courtyard house and didn’t want to live upstairs.

Deputy Factory Director Li was surprised that there were still people unwilling to live in apartment buildings in this day and age.

Since you don't want to live in an apartment, there happens to be a room at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, so I'll give it to you.

"Chief Yang, take Comrade Zhang Weiguo to the Third Procurement Section to get to know the route and the people first, then go to No. 95 Nanluoguxiang. There is an empty room in the backyard, which will be given to Comrade Zhang Weiguo."

"Yes, Director Li."

"Brother Zhang, get familiar with the environment. It will be Monday in three days, so you can come to work on Monday."

"See you on Monday, Brother Li."

After saying that, Zhang Weiguo and Deputy Section Chief Yang left the office together.

The Purchasing Department is a very large unit with three sections. There are still a lot of purchasers. The director of the Purchasing Department is not here, and there are not many people in the three purchasing sections. They are all out purchasing.

Zhang Weiguo looked at the door, and when he saw that no one was there, he left.

As for going to the Siheyuan, Yang Ping is not suitable to follow. After all, Yang Ping is a woman, and it will have a bad influence if she follows Zhang Weiguo to look for a house.

He found a male colleague for Zhang Weiguo, rode a bicycle, and rushed to the courtyard.

At the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, Zheng Weiguo and Xiao Zhou pushed their bicycles inside. They went into the backyard together and pointed to a house with its door open.

This is a side room. Although it only has one room, it is still very large, covering an area of ​​50 square meters.

Chief Zhang, this is your house now. When the time comes, you can ask someone to renovate it and partition out a small room that can be used as a kitchen.

Xiao Zhou pushed open the door and went in to find some furniture and daily necessities. It seemed that someone was moving in.
