The person who said on the phone that he would send people to guard the Corps’ industry in Huacheng was Minister Gao, who lives next to Minister Li.
Liaison with external units is within his management scope.
The external liaison department of the Construction Corps has been doing well recently.
With the little bit that Minister Li next door missed, their external liaison department now stands tall and straight, and finding people to do things is quick and efficient.
To use a joke that Minister Gao told his subordinates in private - he hasn't been as generous as he is now in decades.
Old Li next door also changed from being a "stingy old man" and a "money-grubber" to being the timely rain Song Jiang in the eyes of these old brothers.
No matter how shameless you are, you can at least get some extra fees from Old Li.
The reason why Minister Gao was so excited and impulsive when he heard the news about Huacheng was mainly because they were too optimistic about this kid Zhang Hongcheng.
Everyone knew that Old Li liked to scold that kid, but they all secretly had the sinister intention of poaching Xiao Zhang from Old Li one day.
This gave Minister Gao an opportunity to do Comrade Xiao Zhang a good favor.
Besides, even if we can't dig Xiao Zhang out, we can't let outsiders bully him.
Apart from anything else, Minister Gao used the money he withheld from Old Man Li to buy a new Zhongshan suit for everyone in his department.
At least now no one will laugh at the liaison personnel from their department who fled from the Northeast to escape famine.
Minister Li also noticed Minister Gao's "dark" thoughts. However, he was too busy at the moment and had no time to bother Gao.
In the office, Minister Li was holding a meeting with a few people.
"Come, let's confirm it again."
"Xiao Zhu, has Mr. Cheng decided on his itinerary for tomorrow?"
"It's already been decided. I just received the latest notice. Mr. Cheng has canceled half of his scheduled itineraries for tomorrow."
"The itinerary for the memorial hall and martyrs' cemetery remains unchanged."
Minister Li grabbed the document in his hand and drew a heavy stroke.
"Director Ma, please tell me about security work."
"Where does the special doctor from the Corps Hospital live?"
"Have you contacted Mr. Cheng's health care doctor?"
…
The meeting lasted until after 1:00 p.m. before Minister Li allowed Secretary Zhao and his group to go for lunch.
Originally, Minister Li did not need to arrange the reception for Mr. Cheng who came from the capital, because this was not within his job scope.
However, the Corps still handed this important reception task to Minister Li.
It is because Mr. Cheng was Minister Li’s guide and political commissar when he first joined the revolution.
With Old Man Li taking charge, if any of the staff on Old Cheng's side were dissatisfied, they would just let it go for the sake of Old Cheng's old subordinates.
Old man Li did not leave the office. He took the steamed buns left over from the morning and ate them in a few mouthfuls with boiled water. He finally had time to busy himself with his job.
For example, he finally had time to take a good look at the documents sent from Huacheng yesterday, trying to find out what surprise or shock that boy had hidden for him between the lines.
Minister Li looked at the top page of the document.
[The Bingtuan Light Bulb Factory shipped all defective light bulbs on August 3rd...]
[That same afternoon, Secretary Zhao assigned the department's task to Comrade Zhang Hongcheng of the Huacheng Guesthouse.]
[Note: Comrade Zhang Hongcheng complained on the phone for over ten minutes.]
On August 12, the cargo successfully arrived at Huacheng Freight Station after three transfers.
At 7:50 AM on August 14th, all defective light bulbs were picked up by the Huacheng Supply and Marketing Company.
…
On August 16th, the Huacheng Guesthouse received two old houses that had been transferred to the Huacheng Supply and Marketing Company and deposited 27,000 yuan into its account.
August 22, Huacheng River Transport Company...
August 25th, Huacheng Guesthouse. We traded the eleven abandoned dock rooms we had just acquired for the river transport company's newly constructed four-story, twelve-room building near Liuhua Bridge...
[On August 27th, we received a payment of 17,000 yuan from the Huacheng Guesthouse...]
After deducting the original costs of the light bulb factory, the profit of 12,421.7 yuan has been deposited into the special welfare account of the Corps.
Pah.
The pen in Minister Li's hand fell directly onto the table, and then slowly rolled away.
The old man stared at the words on the document, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and fumbled in the corner of the table for a long time.
After a lot of effort, he finally found the small medicine bottle he wanted.
I was just a little busy this month, and thinking that I had assigned such a difficult task to that kid, I always felt that he could have a peaceful month.
The result, wow!
This second most difficult task, which gave the entire Corps Headquarters and the light bulb factory a splitting headache, was not taken seriously by this kid at all.
Look at the time written on this document.
Those headache-inducing defective light bulbs arrived in Huacheng for just two days before this guy packed them up and sold them to the Huacheng Supply and Marketing Company at a higher price.
The total cost of the item was just over six dollars, but he easily sold it for ten dollars.
But that’s not all.
At most, I blew a breath on this kid, but he took it as the east wind and flew into the sky.
Tinkering with light bulbs and batteries was just the beginning. For the other half month, he actually did voluntary labor in Huacheng, filling holes for others!
It’s said to be a good deed, but after this guy filled the hole, the value of the house he owned immediately increased several times.
The river transport company was seduced into giving its newly built district branch office to the Corps Guesthouse.
He even had some extra money and sent 17,000 yuan to the Corps, and there was also more than 10,000 yuan in the account of the Huacheng Hotel.
