Chapter 424 Li Huaide's Dilemma
With Chang Xia's help, Li Qin finally managed to unload the wild boar from his bicycle.
Just then, Wang Dawei, who seemed to have heard the commotion, also came out of the office.
As soon as we came out, we saw the wild boar that had been unloaded, as well as the wild rabbits and pheasants.
A smile immediately appeared on Wang Dawei's face:
"Good job, Xiao Li!"
Upon hearing Wang Dawei's praise, Li Qin repeated what he had said earlier at the gate of the steel rolling mill.
As for Wang Dawei, Chang Xia didn't believe Li Qin cared.
"Li Qin, you've worked hard in the countryside. I'll arrange for someone to take care of the rest for you. Go and rest for a while."
Wang Dawei said to Li Qin with a concerned expression.
He knew that Li Qin had some connections and could obtain a lot of supplies.
Therefore, they are naturally very tolerant of Li Qin.
Li Qin did not refuse Wang Dawei's kindness, and nodded gratefully.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, team leader and Sister Xia!"
Afterwards, Li Qin first pushed his bicycle to the bike shed and put it away, then returned to his workstation in the purchasing department to rest.
Purchasing the goods was not difficult, but Li Qin did put in some effort to get the wild boar and other items back to the steel mill.
I do feel a bit tired right now.
He doesn't need to worry about the follow-up matters now, so he can take this time to rest.
After resting for a while, Li Qin remembered that now that he was back, he should go and say hello to his uncle, Li Huaide.
He then left the purchasing department.
When he left, the wild boar and other items he had purchased had already been moved away by people arranged by Wang Dawei.
Based on Li Qin's experience, the goods had likely already been transported to the warehouse and were ready for registration.
Li Qin didn't care about these trivial matters.
He staggered into Li Huaide's office;
"Uncle Li, are you busy?"
Finding no one in Li Huaide's office, Li Qin casually knocked on the door and went in without waiting for a response.
Upon seeing Li Qin, Li Huaide's face immediately broke into a smile;
"You're back from your trip to the countryside? How was the harvest?"
Li Qin sat down directly in the chair opposite Li Huaide, then nodded slightly and said:
"Just got back. This time I caught a wild boar, some rabbits, and pheasants."
He showed no surprise at all when he heard that Li Qin had only caught a wild boar.
Li Huaide was very clear about Li Qin's abilities; he knew that if Li Qin wanted to, he could easily obtain more supplies.
"Was the journey smooth? Did you encounter any unexpected incidents?"
Li Huaide asked with a concerned expression.
He knew very well that things were not peaceful at this time, especially in the countryside.
With Li Qin alone and a wild boar, someone might be tempted to rob him.
Li Qin smiled and shook his head at his concern.
"Uncle Li, don't worry. I hired a few people to take me all the way to the vicinity of Beijing, so I didn't encounter any accidents on the way."
Seeing Li Qin's quick wit, Li Huaide immediately smiled with satisfaction.
Just then, Li Qin suddenly took out two familiar lunch boxes from his satchel.
Li Huaide's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing this.
Li Huaide had some guesses about what was inside the lunchbox, but he couldn't be completely sure until he opened it.
Before Li Huaide could even ask, Li Qin spoke up:
"When we went down there this time, we got two more lunchboxes of rabbit heads from those hunters. Uncle Li, you can take them back and eat with your aunt."
Li Qin could tell that both Li Huaide and his aunt Mingyu liked to eat this.
So I took this opportunity to send them two more lunchboxes.
Upon hearing that there was indeed a rabbit head in the lunchbox, Li Huaide subconsciously swallowed.
He nodded to Li Qin and, without any hesitation, reached out and put the two lunchboxes away.
Seeing this, Li Qin couldn't help but smile to himself.
When he recommended spicy rabbit heads to Li Huaide, he actually intended to promote the dish.
This stuff has a unique flavor that can easily irritate people.
In this way, he can acquire a certain amount of emotional power.
However, Li Qin later discovered a better way to obtain emotional power, and then abandoned his initial idea.
Of course, looking back now, the idea of gaining emotional power through spicy rabbit heads was an immature one.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that so many rabbit heads were taken out at once is a major flaw.
Next, Li Qin made up some experiences after going to the countryside and told them to Li Huaide.
After speaking, Li Qin suddenly remembered seeing Li Huaide's worried face when he entered the office earlier.
Li Qin immediately asked curiously:
"Uncle Li, did something happen to you? You seemed a little off earlier."
If anyone else had asked this question, Li Huaide would certainly not have given them a pleasant look, but since it was Li Qin, it didn't matter.
Li Huaide, who had been all smiles, lost his smile upon hearing Li Qin's words, and his face immediately fell, revealing a worried expression.
Li Huaide didn't hide anything and said directly:
"It's all because of the upcoming National Day!"
Upon hearing that it was because of National Day, Li Qin's heart skipped a beat, and a strange expression immediately appeared on his face.
He looked at Li Huaide, then asked somewhat uncertainly:
"Is the steel rolling mill planning to give out employee benefits for National Day as well? The Mid-Autumn Festival just passed. Won't this cause problems?"
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Li Huaide's expression froze.
He knew that Li Qin must have misunderstood because he hadn't explained himself clearly earlier.
Li Huaide quickly shook his head and said:
"You've misunderstood. The steel rolling mill has no plans to give out welfare items to its employees on National Day."
Li Qin then nodded;
"I was saying, the Mid-Autumn Festival was only a few days ago. If we're still distributing supplies for National Day, putting aside everything else, just the question of where those supplies will come from is a huge problem."
Li Huaide also agreed with Li Qin's words.
Of course, Li Qin was faking it just now.
For him, preparing a mere few thousand kilograms of meat supplies was a piece of cake.
But he can't do that.
Li Qin looked at Li Huaide again, then asked with a puzzled expression:
"If that's not the issue, then Uncle Li, what are you worried about?"
He was genuinely curious about what it was all about. It was related to National Day, and it could cause Li Huaide such distress.
"Why"
Li Huaide first sighed, and in order to avoid Li Qin misunderstanding, he chose to explain clearly this time;
"National Day is just around the corner, and all the factories in Beijing are preparing for it, including ours."
"We'll definitely need to prepare a show then, and I'm currently worried about what to do with it."
After listening, a look of sudden realization flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
Unexpectedly, Li Huaide was worried about the National Day program.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; the National Day celebrations today are quite different from those of later generations.
In later generations, many things were liberalized, so people could act freely.
But not at this time.
The program has very strict requirements regarding its content and depth.
The key issue is that there are only a few days left until National Day, and time is tight with heavy tasks, so it's no wonder that Li Huaide is so worried.
