Chapter 20 First Communication with Li Huaide



"Brother Li, I'm here to bring you medicine."

After entering the house, Li Huaide first arranged for Jia Dongsheng to sit down, and then poured him a glass of water.

From this we can see that Li Huaide is indeed unique in dealing with people.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is a large state-owned enterprise with about 10,000 employees. The deputy director is at the deputy bureau level. However, Li Huaide was so polite to Jia Dongsheng. Even if it was because of the old Chinese doctor, it was also because of his own personality.

Working in the steel rolling mill, Li Huaide is a man who is good at networking. All the communications with various factories and departments are handled by Li Huaide.

It was also because of this that Li Huaide was able to take over the steel mill so smoothly and become the head of the steel mill during the storm.

Moreover, one thing that Jia Dongsheng admires about Li Huaide very much is that Li Huaide really values talents when it comes to employing people.

Who are Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong in the play?

Xu Damao, an egoist, a typical selfish character; Liu Haizhong, a power-hungry person with high aspirations but low skills, Li Huaide can use both of these people very well.

The most important thing is a silly pillar.

You know, in the play, Sha Zhu beat Li Huaide severely and never gave Li Huaide a good look. But even so, just because Sha Zhu has a good cooking skill, Li Huaide didn't care at all and still employed Sha Zhu.

Of course, having worked as a chef in a steel rolling mill for most of his life, Sha Zhu's chef level has always been low. It was not until the 1950s and 1960s that he was promoted to an eighth-level cook. This was probably due to Li Huaide.

You know, there are only ten levels of cooks. After three years of temporary apprenticeship, you will be promoted to level ten. In theory, an eighth-level cook will be promoted in two or three years. After all, the lower the level, the easier it is to get promoted.

But Sha Zhu's cooking skills are very good, but he is stuck at the eighth level of cook. There is no other explanation except that he offended someone.

"Thank you, Brother Dongsheng. Look, I can just go to the pharmacy to get it when I have time. Thank you for the trouble, Brother Dongsheng."

Looking at the medicine bottle on the coffee table, Li Huaide smiled. This was the basis for him to maintain a happy life, and he couldn't help but be happy.

"Brother Li, I came here this time mainly to tell you something."

Jia Dongsheng had a bitter look on his face. Seeing this situation, Li Huaide couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"What's going on?"

Li Huaide quickly asked, "If there's anything I can help with, Dongsheng, please don't be polite to me. I will definitely help."

"well."

With a light sigh, Jia Dongsheng said sadly: "Last month, my master passed away."

"What?"

This news really shocked Li Huaide. He stood up instantly and asked, "Old man, why..."

"My master was 90 years old, so he died of old age," said Jia Dongsheng.

"Hey, Brother Dongsheng, why didn't you inform me? I should have attended the old man's funeral."

Li Huaide couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. If the old Chinese doctor was gone, what would happen to his happiness?

"Master doesn't like crowds. Before he left, he told me not to hold a big ceremony, so I didn't notify anyone."

Jia Dongsheng said, "There are twenty pills in here. Master prepared them for you, Brother Li."

"The old man still remembered me before he left, but I didn't get to see him for the last time. I feel so ashamed!"

Li Huaide's expression was also extremely painful, as if it was his master who had passed away. Jia Dongsheng saw this and muttered in his heart: "You are so sad and miserable, do you think this medicine will be discontinued in the future?"

Little did he know that Jia Dongsheng had guessed right. Li Huaide really thought so, especially since he sent twenty pills this time. You know, Li Huaide wanted to buy more at one time before, but the old Chinese doctor refused to sell them to him, fearing that he would eat too much.

But he only prepared twenty pills at this time. It must be because they would run out in the future that he gave him so many at once.

"Brother Dongsheng, is your medicine shop still open?"

The medicine shop that Li Huaide mentioned was the two-story shop on Qianmen Street, but this shop had been closed by Jia Dongsheng.

"No, my medical skills are much worse than my master's, so I don't dare to sit in the clinic."

Of course, this was Jia Dongsheng's humble words. His medical skills were certainly not as good as those of the old Chinese medicine practitioners, but what he lacked was just some experience. He had no problem prescribing ordinary medicine according to prescriptions.

It’s just that this era is a bit chaotic, and doctors are not as good as workers and farmers. He still needs to change jobs to live a more stable life.

"Brother Li, don't worry. Although I've been asked to close the shop, I will be responsible for making your medicine in the future. My master has already taught me before he left."

"real?"

The surprise came so suddenly that Li Huaide was overjoyed: "Brother Dongsheng, can you really make this medicine?"

"Yes."

Jia Dongsheng nodded confidently: "Of the twenty pills I sent you this time, ten were made under my guidance before my master left."

"That would be great."

Although Li Huaide was happy, he couldn't show it in front of Jia Dongsheng because the old Chinese doctor had just left. He forced himself to suppress his joy, then went to the cabinet beside him, took out a stack of money and put it on the coffee table.

"Brother Dongsheng, here's the money for twenty pills. Please count them."

A pill costs ten yuan, and there are twenty big black tens on the coffee table. Jia Dongsheng knows the number at a glance.

"Brother Li, how can I not trust you?"

Jia Dongsheng put the two hundred yuan into his pocket and said with a smile.

"By the way, Brother Dongsheng, now that you've closed your pharmacy, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Huaide was very impressed by Jia Dongsheng's trust in him, but when he thought about the store closing, what should he do if he needed medicine urgently but couldn't find Jia Dongsheng for a while?

This is a matter of happiness and must not be taken lightly.

At this time, when Jia Dongsheng heard Li Huaide ask this, his heart moved. As the saying goes, it is not a good deal if you chase after someone. Wouldn't it be better if Li Huaide could speak first and invite him to work in the steel mill?

"I don't have any plans."

Jia Dongsheng smiled and said, "I have been learning from my master for ten years. During these ten years, I have never been home. Now I am back home to serve my mother."

"Go home and serve me?"

This really scared Li Huaide. He quickly asked, "Brother Dongsheng, where is your home?"

"Hi, Brother Li, this is Sijiucheng. I live in the Nanluoguxiang area."

"Nanluoguxiang?"

The name was familiar. There were many workers at the steel mill, and they all lived in that area. Li Huaide smiled and said, "That's good. We're still in the city, so we can keep in touch. If we lived out of town, it would be hard to meet in the future."

"Brother Li is right."

Jia Dongsheng nodded: "I haven't been home for ten years. I don't think too much about it now. I'll take care of my mother for a while."
