The next day, Liu Dashan personally brought a short-haired middle-aged man with a military aura to the Purchasing Section 3. There were only two people in the Purchasing Section 3, Su Wen and Zhu Minghua. Su Wen had already consciously moved his desk from the section chief's office. Moved out.
"You two, stop for a moment. This is Comrade Li Aiguo, the new section chief of the Purchasing Section 3. He is a combat hero. He has achieved second-class merit once and third-class merit three times. The reason why he is assigned to our Purchasing Section instead of the Guard No, it's because Comrade Li Aiguo still has shrapnel that has not been removed from his body. I hope you can cooperate with Comrade Li Aiguo in future work."
"Comrade Patriot, this is Comrade Su Wen, the deputy chief of the Purchasing Section Three. He is very capable and can complete the procurement tasks on time and exceed the quota every month. This is Comrade Zhu Minghua, the statistician. Su Wen, your cadre status is questionable, Factory Li The president will solve it for you as soon as possible. You should familiarize yourself with it, I will go back beforehand."
"Hello, Section Chief Li, I am Su Wen. I will be your soldier from now on. If I need anything, just let me know."
Li Aiguo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say that, we are all revolutionary comrades, helping each other and learning from each other. Since we are all in the same department, we will be a family from now on, and a family will not speak two different languages."
Both Su Wen and Zhu Minghua expressed their support for Li Aiguo's work, and Li Aiguo also asked them for advice on some work issues. Although Li Aiguo had a rich military career, he had never done procurement work after all, and he needed to relearn many things.
Soon it was lunch time, and Li Aiguo, who was reading information in the office, came out and said, "Su Wen, Minghua, let's go together. I'll invite you to the cafeteria for lunch at noon."
Su Wen and Zhu Minghua were both a little surprised, but they quickly agreed with a smile. The three of them left the office together.
They walked to the canteen together. On the way, Li Aiguo asked Su Wen and Zhu Minghua some details and precautions about the purchasing work. Both Su Wen and Zhu Minghua answered his questions very seriously and shared their experience and skills accumulated in their work.
After arriving at the canteen, the three of them went to get food together, and Li Aiguo paid the bill. They sat down together in a corner of the cafeteria and began to enjoy lunch.
During the lunch, Li Aiguo chatted with Su Wen and Zhu Minghua about his experiences on the battlefield. His vivid and touching story deeply admired them. They were not only moved by Li Aiguo's heroic deeds, but also infected by his humility and easy-going. They consider it an honor in their career to work with such a combat hero.
Li Aiguo also asked them about their opinions and suggestions on procurement work. Su Wen and Zhu Minghua both spoke actively and shared their opinions.
"The section chief's current procurement work is easy to do, as long as we buy back the supplies. It is difficult to say, and there is nothing that is in short supply now. You should have many comrade-in-arms leaders when you come back from the army. Contact them more. , maybe you can find some scarce supplies for us."
Li Aiguo nodded, thought for a moment and then said: "Indeed, I have accumulated some connections in the army, which can also bring some convenience to the procurement work. However, favors cannot withstand consumption, and it will definitely not work to keep asking for them. Only mutual benefit can last long. .”
Su Wen and Zhu Minghua both nodded in agreement, they understood what Li Aiguo meant.
Li Aiguo continued: "I'm new here, and I still need to learn a lot of things from you. Su Wen, I read the reports for the past few months. You came half a year earlier than me and got a lot of good things."
Su Wen smiled sheepishly and said, "Thank you, Section Chief. I relied on the help of the villagers in my hometown to get a lot of things. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, our village was full of hunters. After the land reform, we can survive by farming. Not many people are willing to risk going into the mountains to hunt, and our family is the last hunter in the village. Good things are bought with our own lives."
Two buyers came back in the afternoon, and they didn't care about the new section chief. It didn't matter who became the section chief as long as they completed the task. If they couldn't complete the task for a long time, they would be demoted. After handing over the purchased materials to the warehouse, they left.
Li Aiguo came out of the office and saw only two leaving figures. "Section Chief, they are too tired to go back and rest." Zhu Minghua explained for them because he was afraid that Li Aiguo would be unhappy.
Li Aiguo waved his hand and said he didn't care, "It's really hard to go to the countryside to purchase. You have to travel across mountains and rivers all year round. Su Wen, if you plan to go to the countryside to purchase someday, take me to see it on the spot."
"Section Chief, you won't see much when you follow me to the countryside to purchase. I suggest you go with Xu Damao, the projectionist in the factory. He knows the local customs better and has visited more places."
"Xu Damao?"
Su Wen explained: "Xu Damao is a projectionist in the factory. He often goes to the countryside to show movies and has a good understanding of the situation in the countryside. I live in a courtyard with him, and I can help ask him when he will go to the countryside to show movies. "
Li Aiguo nodded, indicating that he understood. He decided to go shopping with Xu Damao in the countryside. "Su Wen, ask for it for me. Give him this box of cigarettes." Li Aiguo handed Su Wen a box of cigarettes.
Su Wen took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Okay, Section Chief. I'll go see Xu Damao this afternoon and discuss the time with him."
Li Aiguo nodded gratefully, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Su Wen successfully found Xu Damao in the finance room, and Xu Damao was having a lively chat with several elder sisters. "It's not easy for Brother Damao to find you. Come out and I'll tell you something."
Xu Damao smiled reluctantly and said to the elder sisters, "You guys talk first, I'll go out for a while."
"What's the matter with Su Wen? Tell me quickly. I have something else to do."
Seeing Xu Damao's impatient look, Su Wen directly explained the purpose of his visit, "Brother Damao, Li Aiguo, the new section chief of our Purchasing Section 3, wants to go to the countryside with you to purchase and learn about the situation in the countryside. He wants you to take him with you. Take a trip to see the real situation in the countryside. Section Chief Li was sent by Logistics Director Liu personally. You should take advantage of the time to go to the countryside to keep in touch. This kind of good thing does not happen every day." Su Wen gave Li Aiguo The cigarette was stuffed into Xu Damao's hand.
Xu Damao looked at the cigarette in his hand with an expression of joy on his face. "Chief Li? I didn't expect him to go to the countryside to do the shopping in person. Well, I will go to the countryside to play a movie tomorrow, and I can take him with me. I don't care if I can buy things."
Su Wen said happily: "No problem, Brother Damao. Section Chief Li is a fighting hero. He just came to the steel rolling mill. You should keep in touch with him and build a relationship. Maybe he can promote you in the future. By the way, he still has shrapnel on his body." Don’t take him to too remote a place before taking it out.”
Xu Damao said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong with me. I'll call him in the purchasing department after work tomorrow."
