"Let's go to my office and sit for a while."
Lin Tian and Zhang Wei arrived at the office area of the logistics department. The layout here was similar to that when Lin Tian was in the Second Bureau before, with a small office nested inside a large office.
"Brother, are you here in our factory to see Director Li?" After they sat down, Zhang Wei poured Lin Tian a cup of tea and asked.
"Well, I would like to ask Director Li to help me with a small favor. I want to get a tricycle recently, but you know I really don't have any connections in this area." Lin Tian nodded and said.
"Are you using it in your store or for yourself?" Zhang Wei asked.
"For your own use, if the store uses it, I won't be so troubled. I can just apply for it directly." Lin Tian said helplessly.
Zhang Wei nodded to show his understanding. After all, the non-staple food company was a wealthy department that controlled the supply of materials. Even if the supply of tricycles was tight, they had to supply them.
"I thought it was a big deal. You don't need Director Li to do it. I will do it for you." Zhang Wei said, patting his chest.
Lin Tian's eyes lit up. Indeed, Zhang Wei, the purchasing chief of the steel mill, must have connections. He was different from himself. He had access to every aspect of the steel mill. Maybe the bicycle factory had to rely on the steel mill for supplies.
"Really? Brother, if you can do it, I won't go to Director Li." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm very familiar with the bicycle factory. I'll make a call for you later and you just need to take the note with you." Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"But I don't have a ticket." Lin Tian said.
"It's okay, just pay the normal price. No ticket is needed. We are family, don't worry about those things. You can just go there when the time comes." Zhang Wei said casually.
"Oh, that's great. It seems I came to the right place today, and we just happened to meet each other." Lin Tian said happily. Lin Tian did not expect that this matter would go so smoothly, and Zhang Wei solved it for him so easily.
"Haha, brother, where are you working now?" Zhang Wei asked.
"I was previously loaned to the first team of the second bureau, and then the leader took a fancy to me and asked me to return to the store to be the deputy director in charge of logistics." Lin Tian said.
"Congratulations on your promotion, brother. You have a bright future. You've become the deputy director at such a young age." Zhang Wei said.
“Haha, my title of deputy director sounds nice, but I’m still a long way from your title of section chief.” Lin Tian responded modestly.
"Don't worry. I'm already very old. In a few years my son should be as old as you." Zhang Wei said.
"Brother, didn't you say before that you would have a chance to move around when you come back?" Lin Tian asked. When they were in the meat processing factory, Zhang Wei was quite close to him, so Zhang Wei mentioned to Lin Tian that if everything went well, he could come back and find a way to move around. After all, he had been in the position of purchasing section chief for several years.
"Well, this is a long story. At the beginning of the year, I had a chance to make a move, but who would have thought that a deputy director of logistics would be parachuted in from above and he would be mainly in charge of me. Don't you think this is disgusting? They didn't even give me a chance to compete." Zhang Wei couldn't suppress his anger when he mentioned this.
"Whose employee is this deputy director?" Lin Tian asked.
"It's the factory director. He proposed to his superiors that it would be best to transfer some elite soldiers to support the logistics work in the future. Director Li almost fought with him, but he couldn't be stopped. He really caused me a lot of trouble in the past six months." Zhang Wei said helplessly.
"What about other posts? Have you found a way to move them?" Lin Tian asked.
"There aren't any good positions left. The only better position in the factory is in logistics. Otherwise, I might as well continue to be the purchasing section chief, don't you think?" Zhang Wei asked.
"That's right. If nothing good happens, we might as well wait." Lin Tian said.
"That's exactly the case. Fortunately, the deputy director is a fool and has to rely on me to do the work. Otherwise, I would be miserable." Zhang Wei said with a wry smile.
"That's not bad, Cao Bao is good, haha." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Humph, now we are just causing trouble for each other. Unfortunately, no matter how stupid we are, we can't squeeze them out." Zhang Wei said. It is true. The current leaders are all appointed by the higher-ups. Unless they make mistakes of principle, anyone can work in the position until death, and they have the support of the factory director.
"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. It makes me angry just thinking about it. Let's have a couple of drinks together at noon." Zhang Wei invited.
"I'm not going to drink anymore. I have to go back to work after finishing my work. There's someone causing trouble in my unit now. It's not good to go to work after drinking." Lin Tian said with a smile. Zhu Siyuan has been like this recently, always causing trouble for Lin Tian.
"Okay then, wait a moment, I'll call you." After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he went out to find a phone to help Lin Tian with his errands.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Wei came back and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll write you a note and you can go find someone to pick up the car."
"Haha, thank you very much." Lin Tian said with a fist clasped.
Zhang Wei found a pen and paper on the table and wrote two notes, one to the bicycle factory and the other to Lin Tian telling him where to find someone to do the work.
After finishing his work, Lin Tian put away the note and said, "Director Li is here, I'll go over and say hello. Since I'm here, he might start to cause trouble later."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Zhang Wei took Lin Tian to Li Huaide's office. They were both in the logistics department, so their offices were not far from each other and they arrived there in just a few steps.
The door of Li Huaide's office was open, and Li Huaide saw Lin Tian and Zhang Wei as soon as they showed their heads.
"Lin..." Li Huaide was stunned for a moment after seeing Lin Tian, and he was a little doubtful whether he had seen it wrong.
"Brother Li, it's me." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Brother, come in, come in." Li Huaide was still very enthusiastic when he saw Lin Tian.
"Why are you here at the steel mill?" Li Huaide asked puzzledly.
"I originally wanted to ask you to help me with something, but then I met Brother Zhang Wei, and he has already done it for me." Lin Tian said with a smile.
Li Huaide glanced at Zhang Wei who was following beside him.
"What's the matter? Do you need my help?" Li Huaide asked.
"I've been wanting to get a tricycle recently, and I originally wanted to ask you, brother, but now Brother Zhang has done it for me." Lin Tian said.
"Well, it's right to find Zhang Wei for this matter. He must be very familiar with that place." Li Huaide nodded after listening. If this matter was brought to him, he might have to order Zhang Wei to handle it.
Lin Tian chatted with Li Huaide for a while. Li Huaide and Zhang Wei wanted to keep Lin Tian here for a while and have lunch together, but Lin Tian refused.
After coming out of the steel rolling mill, Lin Tian took the note given by Zhang Wei and went straight to the bicycle factory to pick up the bicycle.
