The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 253 A Tangled Mind

Chapter 253 A Tangled Mind

Li Qin promised Wang Dawei that he would take good care of Yuan Zhi, but that did not mean that Li Qin would act as Yuan Zhi's nanny.

He only planned to take care of Yuan Zhi wholeheartedly for three days.

Over the next three days, he will guide Yuan Zhi through the purchasing process without reservation, and will also introduce him to some of the existing connections within the company.

Three days later, Yuan Zhi will need to complete the procurement independently.

Li Qin could not possibly focus too much energy on Yuan Zhi.

Yuan Zhi was mostly pleased with Li Qin's arrangement.

After all, most people wouldn't be so dedicated to guiding a newcomer like him.

After saying this, Li Qin continued riding his bicycle towards Beijing.

The villages he brought Yuan Zhi to this time were all not far from Beijing.

Therefore, although it will take some time to travel back and forth, it won't be too long.

Riding a bike with a passenger was a bit tiring for Li Qin, but it was still within an acceptable range.

When the city of Beijing was in sight, Li Qin's gaze suddenly swept over the supplies hanging on the cart.

A strange light flashed in his eyes:

"All the items we purchased today will be charged to you, so your salary won't increase at the end of the month."

However, it will be of great help to your future promotion.

For a typical purchasing agent, Li Qin purchased a considerable amount of supplies today.

But for Li Qin, this was nothing, and he didn't even care about it.

In addition, he will provide a lot of meat supplies this month, so we won't lack these things.

So I just did Yuan Zhi a favor, as a way of helping him out.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi's face flashed with a complex expression.

Although this would be a good thing for him, Yuan Zhi thought about it and shook his head in refusal.

"Brother Li, I can't accept your kindness. I'm already very grateful that you've taken such good care of me. You paid for all these things, so I can't take advantage of you any further."

Upon hearing Yuan Zhi's words, a look of surprise flashed in Li Qin's eyes.

He didn't believe the other party was unaware of the significance of handing over these supplies.

Despite this, Yuan Zhi remained rational and did not directly accept Li Qin's offer, which made Li Qin think more highly of him.

It's quite remarkable for a 15 or 16-year-old to have such willpower.

However, since Li Qin had spoken up, he had clearly made up his mind.

He spoke again:

"You also put in a lot of effort in today's purchasing, and the successful procurement of these supplies certainly deserves some credit."

Besides, my procurement task was completed long ago, so there's not much point in continuing to hand over supplies.

"Let's submit it in your name; that way, we can maximize our profits."

Having come this far, Li Qin thought Yuan Zhi would readily agree, but he didn't expect the other party to seem to be planning to decline.

Li Qin waved his hand to interrupt the other person.

"That's settled then, no need to discuss it anymore. If you still want to come with me to the countryside to buy supplies in the next few days, then you'd better behave."

Seeing that Li Qin had said so, Yuan Zhi had no choice but to shut up.

At this moment, Yuan Zhi's face was full of gratitude.

Li Qin seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and then spoke again;

"However, the payment I received after handing over these supplies will be returned to me, since I paid for all of these things myself."

Li Qin naturally didn't mind doing things that were beneficial without costing him any money.

But he wouldn't do anything that would harm his own interests.

Even though Li Qin didn't care about the cost of purchasing these supplies, he wouldn't give his own money to Yuan Zhi.

Given their current relationship, Li Qin would never do such a thing.

"That's natural!"

Yuan Zhi is also someone who knows his limits.

After hearing Li Qin's words, he nodded quickly and said with a serious expression.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Qin immediately sped up his cycling pace.

Finally, they made it back to the purchasing department before the steel rolling mill closed for the day.

When Wang Dawei saw Li Qin bring Yuan Zhi back, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

He had thought that Li Qin would take Yuan Zhi to the countryside this time and they would stay for at least a few days.

I didn't expect them to come back that same day.

"Team leader, it's good that you're here too. These items were all purchased by Yuan Zhi. The next steps, such as weighing, registering, and warehousing, will be handled by you."

I'm a little tired today, so I'll go home and rest first.

When Li Qin saw Wang Dawei, he didn't stand on ceremony at all and immediately started assigning him work.

After hearing Li Qin's words, and looking at Yuan Zhi's smiling face and Li Qin's expressionless face, Wang Dawei...

He immediately nodded and said:

"No problem, leave the rest to me. I'll guide Yuan Zhi through the relevant procedures."

Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately showed a satisfied expression.

Then he looked at Yuan Zhidao:

"That's all for today. We'll meet at the South Gate of Beijing tomorrow morning at 8:30. Then I'll take you to visit the villages to the south."

Today they went to a village north of Beijing. Over the next two days, Li Qin planned to take Yuan Zhi to explore other areas.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi immediately nodded:

"I've got it. Thank you for your hard work today, Brother Li."

Li Qin shook his head dismissively, then gestured to Wang Dawei before riding his bicycle away from the steel mill and heading home.

Only after Li Qin's figure completely disappeared did Wang Dawei turn his gaze to Yuan Zhi beside him.

"Xiao Zhi, tell me everything that happened today. Remember to tell me everything in detail, no matter how small. I'll help you analyze it."

Yuan Zhi nodded quickly:

"Yes, Uncle Wang!"

The relationship between Wang Dawei and Yuan Zhi may indeed be extraordinary.

Next, Yuan Zhizhen told Wang Dawei everything that had happened that day, without missing a single detail.

This includes even every single word Li Qin said.

As Yuan Zhi recounted the story, a faint smile first appeared on Wang Dawei's face, his eyes filled with satisfaction and joy.

But after hearing everything, a hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Dawei's eyes.

Because he also discovered that although Li Qin had taken care of Yuan Zhi, he had also noticed that Li Qin had been very kind and attentive to him.

However, Li Qin didn't say a word about his most important procurement channel.

Furthermore, it is not yet clear whether Li Qin is satisfied with Yuan Zhi or not.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, it's only the first day, and Li Qin wouldn't reveal his thoughts so easily.

Wang Dawei had no choice but to remind Yuan Zhi:

"The next two days are crucial. You need to perform well and try to gain Li Qin's approval so that you will have the opportunity to access his channels."

This will be extremely important for your future work and career development.

Wang Dawei had already told Yuan Zhi about the channels Li Qin had in his possession.

I also told him that if he had the chance, he should try to find out what was going on.

Even if you can't master it, you should still find a way to get involved.

Originally, Yuan Zhi also planned to do as Wang Dawei suggested.

But Yuan Zhi is currently very conflicted.

Yuan Zhi knew very well how Li Qin had treated him today; Li Qin had genuinely and selflessly shared his connections and purchasing skills.

Yuan Zhi was genuinely grateful to Li Qin.
