The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 85 Procurement Department Recognition

Although Li Huaide had some issues with his personal morality, his abilities were undeniable.

Moreover, their abilities are quite strong.

After learning about the dangers of purchasing agents going to rural areas to make purchases, Li Huaide came up with a solution;

That means having purchasing agents carry weapons when they go to the countryside;

pistol!

Although each person can only receive a limited amount of ammunition, and is warned not to fire indiscriminately, they must return it intact to the security department upon returning to the factory.

Once the ammunition runs low, the firing process needs to be recorded in detail.

However, having firearms has indeed greatly improved the safety of purchasing staff.

Unless they encounter a vicious person or enemy agent, they will all retreat voluntarily when they see the purchasing agent pull out a gun.

Li Qin is going to the countryside tomorrow, and Li Huaide naturally wants to remind him;

"Before you leave tomorrow, don't forget to go to the security office and get a gun for self-defense."

Li Qin was quite curious about firearms. Before transmigrating, he lived in the modern world, where firearms weren't something he could just come into contact with whenever he wanted.

I never expected to have such an opportunity after transmigrating.

Although Li Qin has mastered a more convenient spell, he will not refuse firearms.

If given the chance, he would even like to try it himself.

After telling Li Qin everything he could think of, Li Huaide fell silent.

At this moment, Li Qin suddenly spoke;

"Uncle Li, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to finalize things by tomorrow, and at the latest, I should be able to bring back the wild boar and other things the day after tomorrow."

However, there were more than a dozen wild boars, as well as wolves, rabbits, pheasants, and other animals.

Those hunters definitely won't be able to deliver it to the steel mill, so we'll need to find a way to bring it back. You might need to make arrangements for that in advance.

Although Li Qin could directly deliver wild boars and other items to Beijing, the process had too many loopholes.

It was simply impossible for him, as a hunter and a lowly purchasing agent, to accomplish this.

If you manage to do that, it will only raise suspicions.

It's even possible that he could be linked to enemy agents or other special elements.

That would be troublesome.

Li Qin didn't want that kind of scene to happen, so the transportation problem needed to be solved by Li Huaide.

Fortunately, the Transportation Section was under the jurisdiction of the Logistics Department, so it wasn't difficult for Li Huaide to make the arrangements.

Li Huaide said with a relaxed expression;

"You don't need to worry about the transportation. I will arrange it in advance. As long as you take care of those hunters and put the items in a fixed location."

I would then have someone drive over and haul the goods directly back to the steel rolling mill.

Seeing Li Huaide's confidence, Li Qin was immediately relieved.

He had great trust in Li Huaide's abilities.

After finishing his business, Li Huaide glanced at his watch and realized there was still some time before he left work. After thinking for a moment, he spoke again.

"I was originally planning to take you to the purchasing department tomorrow, but considering you have a lot to do tomorrow, I'll take you there now to say hello."

In the future, Li Qin will mainly be involved in meat processing.

Li Qin now has stable channels, so he can complete the steel rolling mill's tasks even without going to the countryside to purchase.

However, Li Qin is now a purchasing agent and still needs to interact with other colleagues in the purchasing department.

Even if it's not for actually buying anything, it's still necessary to go to the countryside occasionally.

Otherwise, people will talk behind your back.

This is very detrimental to Li Qin's future development.

That's why Li Huaide thought of taking Li Qin to the purchasing department to familiarize himself with the business.

Li Qin did not refuse his kindness and immediately nodded in agreement.

Soon, Li Huaide brought Li Qin to the purchasing department.

"Boss, what brings you to the purchasing department?"

As soon as Li Huaide entered the purchasing department, the department head, Liu Changqing, greeted him with a broad smile.

"If there's anything you need, just call me and I'll come to your office. That way, you won't have to make the trip."

Li Huaide smiled when he saw Liu Changqing.

Then he joked;

"Old Liu, you really don't want me to come, are you hiding in the purchasing department slacking off? Or are you doing something you don't want me to find out?"

Li Qin, who was behind Li Huaide, overheard their conversation and knew that Liu Changqing was definitely one of Li Huaide's men.

And it's someone I trust quite a bit.

Otherwise, their conversation wouldn't have been so casual.

Liu Changqing then pretended to look aggrieved and said;

"Boss, look at what you're saying. The purchasing department is under your leadership, and I dare not slack off, nor have I done anything shameful."

"I was mainly thinking that you, sir, are very busy, and I was worried that it would take up too much of your time to come in person."

Although he knew Liu Changqing was flattering him, Li Huaide was still very satisfied.

However, he would not forget the main reason for his visit;

Li Huaide spoke again;

"I did come here today because I have something to discuss with you. Let's go to your office to talk."

Upon hearing this, Liu Changqing's expression immediately turned serious, and he then led Li Huaide toward the office.

Li Qin followed at the very back.

After entering the office, Li Qin, who was walking last, gently closed the door behind him.

Upon hearing the commotion, Liu Changqing noticed Li Qin walking at the back, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Although he had seen Li Qin following behind Li Huaide, he hadn't thought much of it.

But seeing that Li Qin had followed him into the office and Li Huaide hadn't reacted at all, he knew that the relationship between Li Qin and Li Huaide wasn't as simple as he thought.

He then asked instinctively;

"Sir, who is this young man?"

Li Huaide casually sat down in the office before speaking;

"Old Liu, let me introduce you. This is a distant nephew of mine. He is also an employee of the steel rolling mill and will be working in the purchasing department from now on."

Please take good care of him/her.

Since they were all on the same side, Li Huaide didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

Upon hearing that Li Qin was actually Li Huaide's nephew, Liu Changqing's face immediately lit up with a friendly smile.

"Boss, you're too kind. Now that you've joined the purchasing department, we're family, so I'll naturally help take care of you."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide did not speak, but simply nodded slightly.

But Li Qin couldn't remain silent;

"Hello Section Chief Liu, I am Li Qin. From now on, I will be your subordinate. Please take good care of me."

Seeing how sensible Li Qin was, Li Huaide smiled even though he didn't say anything.

But Liu Changqing had a genuine smile on his face at this moment;

"Xiao Li, don't be shy. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me and I will try my best to help you."

"Thank you, Section Chief Liu!"

Li Qin quickly expressed his gratitude.

At this moment, Liu Changqing looked at Li Huaide again;

"Boss, which team would you like Xiao Li to join?"

The current purchasing department is mainly divided into three groups, each with a different purchasing focus;

One group was responsible for the procurement of materials within the plan;

The main task is to liaise with meat processing plants and other entities to ensure the daily procurement and supply of materials for the steel rolling mill.

Because there are fixed partners, it's relatively easy.

The second group is responsible for purchasing additional supplies;

The supplies that meat processing plants and other similar facilities can provide are limited, barely enough to ensure the normal operation of the steel rolling mill, which is commonly known as ensuring that the plant doesn't starve.

However, most of the workers in the steel rolling mill do heavy labor, and simply not starving to death is not enough.

Therefore, we need to find a way to purchase more items;

Rice, noodles, grains, oil, meat, eggs...
