In a society where favors are required, all kinds of requests are made. In this era, even buying coal briquettes or flour requires favors. Every seemingly ordinary position has considerable power. If you offend them, they will use all kinds of methods to block you to death.

In this era, interpersonal relationships still follow ancient traditions. You help me and I help you, just like a spider weaving a social circle. The larger the network, the stronger the ability.

The root cause is still the buyer's market.

So in this era, there is a kind of people who are very successful. Although they are not leaders or high-ranking officials, they have ways to get to know all kinds of people. No matter who has something to do, they will come to him, and he will definitely get it done.

There is a sense of chivalrous spirit.

In the future, with the development of society and the high development of commodities, the relationship between people has been completely changed. People are no longer willing to owe favors to others, and they all understand that free things are the most expensive.

But now, it is difficult to move forward without knowing people. Qin Huai and Director Sun of the Materials Bureau only exchanged a few words, but they were noticed by someone with ulterior motives. The manager of the agricultural machinery company actually came to him in person to beg him. It was probably because he was desperate and wanted to seek help from anyone.

Qin Huai was reborn from the future, and he understood the reason after a little thought.

Coincidentally, I met Director Sun of the Materials Bureau on the same evening I received the request from the agricultural machinery company. His car broke down and he came to repair it.

Qin Huai asked Qin Zhonglin to fix the car, and invited Director Sun into the house, poured him a cup of tea, and placed all the gifts from the agricultural machinery company in front of him.

Director Sun was puzzled and said, "Qin Huai, what are you doing?"

"Director Sun, this is a gift from the agricultural machinery company. They asked me to pass a message to you."

Director Sun was a little surprised: "Ask you for help?" He probably didn't expect this.

"Manager Yuan said he has an application card with you. He'd like to treat you to a meal at your convenience to explain the situation. I'm just a car mechanic. The items must have been sent to you through me. Anyway, they're all here, so you can handle them. It's up to you whether you want to see them or not."

In this relationship, Qin Huai is in a weak position. If he wants to manage the relationship, he must put himself in the right position and explain the gifts and reasons clearly. This is also a way of survival.

If I eat the food silently, I can't hide it from others and it won't happen again.

Director Sun was very pleased with his frankness and smiled. "I understand. He gave it to you, not to me. You don't have to give it to me. I know about the agricultural machinery company. Tell him that I'm free tomorrow night and we can go to the county guesthouse."

"Director, it's not right for me to take the money someone else asked you to do." After refusing several times, Qin Huai saw that he really didn't want it, so he thanked Director Sun and finally accepted it.

Then he said to Director Sun, "I'll tell Manager Yuan when I get back to you."

After finishing the talk, he changed into his work clothes and started repairing the car with Qin Zhonglin. He also asked Qin Zhonglin to clean the car. Director Sun was very satisfied with what he saw and kept chatting with Qin Huai.

"Director Sun doesn't seem difficult to talk to. Why didn't the agricultural machinery company find it themselves, but had to buy a gift and ask an outsider like me to do it? It seems there's something unknown inside."

"Director Sun, thank you for your kindness. I'll tell them later."

After Director Sun left, Qin Huai took out the things and let him and Qin Zhonglin take them as they pleased.

Old Man Qin has been a farmer all his life. Every farmer has a desire to become an official. The old man's desire had long died because of the incompetence of Qin Dashu and Qin Dagen, but it was rekindled because of Qin Huai. His grandson is so capable, if he can get an official position, he will be able to see his ancestors after his death.

He said to Qin Huai with a hint of meaning, "Get closer to Director Sun and the others in the future."

Qin Huai had no idea of ​​the old man's complicated thoughts and said, "I'm just a car mechanic. How can an official look down on me?"

The old man suddenly became angry after hearing this. He never spoke when he was angry, but Qin Huai was busy and didn't notice.

A few days later, Manager Yuan came over happily to thank him and said, "Brother, I really want to thank you. I asked so many people for help but nothing worked. I didn't expect that you would be able to do it all at once."

Qin Huai was very curious about what was going on, so he asked him, "Manager Yuan, I think Director Sun is very easy to talk to. Have you ever offended him before?"

Manager Yuan said, "I should thank you. A relative of Director Sun, who was a commune leader, came to us to buy a tractor. I wasn't the manager at the time, and tractors were in short supply. We only had one, so we didn't give it to him first, which embarrassed Director Sun and created a grudge."

Qin Huai said, "Wouldn't it be alright if we just talked it out?"

Manager Yuan said, "I do want to, but I don't have the chance. If Director Sun hadn't mentioned it himself, I wouldn't have known about it."

"Then why did you say it again this time?"

"Aren't you there as lubricant? Everyone started talking."

Qin Huai thought to himself, "Working in this world of human relationships is like walking on thin ice. Who can be so smooth and flawless? If you're not careful, you might offend someone without even realizing it."

Manager Yuan has become Qin Huai's loyal customer again. There is a driver in their unit named Ma Liangcai, who is not very old, only 25 today, and is very close to Qin Huai.

Speaking of Ma Liangcai, he is very handsome, about 1.8 meters tall, and his face is more beautiful than that of a celebrity.

His family was well off. His father was a cadre in Lin County and his mother was also a leader. When he sent his car for repair for the first time, he was accompanied by a beautiful girl.

When I came again not long after, there was another one.

Ma Liangcai said proudly: "You don't know her, but she's the prettiest girl in the textile factory, Li Li."

When the two stood together, even Old Man Qin praised them, saying, "This man is talented and this woman is beautiful."

Qin Huai certainly wasn't stupid enough to ask him about his last girl, so he asked, "Is this your girlfriend? When are you getting married?"

Ma Liangcai said: "I'm still young and don't want to date."

This attitude surprised Qin Huai. What era was this? It was an era where anyone who touched someone's hand could be arrested. Ma Liangcai was just relying on his good looks to do whatever he wanted.

Li Li's face turned pale after hearing what he said. She immediately shook off his hand and said, "Speak clearly to me. What do you think of me?"

The atmosphere suddenly changed. Qin Huai regretted being too talkative. Ma Liangcai said, "Didn't we agree that we should just get along first and talk about other things later?"

"I knew it. You've always remembered that little devil from the hardware factory, right? Ma Liangcai, I'm telling you, you're a hooligan."

Ma Liangcai said, "It's so serious. If you don't want to play with me, then we shouldn't meet again."

"You bastard." Li Li ran away crying.

Qin Huai said, "Old Ma, go and coax her back quickly. Don't let anything happen to a girl."

Ma Liangcai said, "What could go wrong? If we can't play together, then we don't play."

But soon, something happened to him.
