Back in Li Aiguo's office, Su Wen asked anxiously, "Section Chief, what should we do?"
Li Aiguo was silent for a moment, looking deeply out of the window. He took a deep breath, and then spoke slowly, "We can't sit still and wait for death. I'll call the commune below to contact the purchaser who will go to purchase. We must fully comply with the laws and regulations in future procurement work. As for what happens in the factory? It’s not up to the two of us to explain to the workers.”
After Su Wen heard this, a flash of understanding flashed in his eyes, "Section Chief, what do you mean?"
Li Aiguo turned around, looked at Su Wen and said: "Su Wen, this incident has taught me a profound lesson. I am the section chief, and I used to be a company commander. I will not give up my soldiers. Li Chang The director has given up on Sun Bingbing. To put it more seriously, the three departments of procurement have been abandoned. If we want to save Sun Bingbing, we are also saving ourselves. The factory cannot do without unplanned material procurement. Director Li is trying to make us official, so let’s You can also reply to him in an official tone for future procurement tasks."
Su Wen nodded, "I understand, Section Chief. So what should we do next?"
A hint of cunning flashed in Li Aiguo's eyes, "Su Wen, in the future, all purchases must be made by the seller, with the seller writing a written list, marking the price, and stamping it with the official seal of the village or unit. As for the tasks of the purchasing department, isn't it my responsibility? "
After Su Wen heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, "Section Chief, aren't you afraid that they will settle the score later?"
Li Aiguo smiled slightly, with a trace of determination in his eyes, "After the fall, we can't survive the summer, so there will be autumn. I don't know what Factory Director Guo is thinking. I only know that our purchasing department has no way out. I can also find the troops. It should be no problem for the old leader to protect me, but what about you? Sun Bingbing was caught after doing something wrong. Our direct leaders, Logistics Director Liu and Factory Director Li, no longer care about us. Is there any better way besides forcing the palace? ?”
Su Wen was infected by Li Aiguo's determination, and his worries dissipated a lot, "Section Chief, I understand. I will follow your instructions, strictly abide by the procurement regulations, and ensure that every purchase is legal and compliant."
Li Aiguo nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and rescue Sun Bingbing."
After get off work, Su Wen rode his bicycle through the factory gate and couldn't help feeling filled with emotion. He recalled his conversation with Li Aiguo and felt deeply pressured. Their entire procurement department was facing an unprecedented dilemma.
Suddenly a jeep stopped in front of him. Logistics director Liu's head stuck out of the car window, "Awen, get in the car."
Su Wen's heart tightened, wondering what Director Liu wanted to do with him. He quickly put the bike in the trunk and got in the car.
"Director, what do you want from me?" Su Wen asked cautiously.
Director Liu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Awen, there has been a lot of commotion in your purchasing department recently, I have heard about it."
Su Wen's heart sank and he didn't know how to respond.
Director Liu paused for a moment, and then continued: "Awen, have you ever thought about changing departments?"
Su Wen was shocked, he understood what Director Liu meant. He wanted to leave the purchasing department. "Brother Liu, can't you protect me?"
Director Liu glanced at Su Wen and sighed softly, "Ah Wen, I know everything about you. The situation now is very complicated, and it's difficult for me to keep you. The new guy named Guo is very good. Jin, he only talks about rules and regulations, Factory Director Li has nothing to do now, Director Yang even tried to talk but was pushed back."
"Brother Liu, I don't plan to leave the Procurement Department like this."
After hearing this, Director Liu looked at Su Wen with some surprise, "Awen, have you really decided?"
Su Wen nodded firmly, "Yes, Brother Liu."
Director Liu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Awen, you have to understand that the current situation is very serious. The new Director Guo is very insistent on rules and regulations, and he will not change his attitude easily. Moreover, Director Li has not changed his attitude now. The better way is to avoid the edge temporarily."
After Su Wen heard this, he said firmly: "Director Liu, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I have long been deeply bound to the Purchasing Section 3. If Director Guo can give Director Li face, I will leave the Purchasing Section 3." It’s safe, but as he doesn’t give face to anyone now, I think our Section Chief Li’s approach will be better.”
Director Liu was silent for a moment after hearing this. He sighed softly, "Awen, now that you have decided, I will support you. If you need help, come to me at any time."
Su Wen looked at Director Liu gratefully, "Thank you, Director Liu, I will remember your words."
Later, Director Liu chatted with Su Wen on some other topics and was concerned about his work and situation. Finally, he told Su Wen to be careful and to ask him for help at any time if he encounters difficulties.
After thinking about it all night, Su Wen decided to solve the hidden danger of unclear sources of the supplies he purchased.
The next day, Su Wen came to Cuizhuang Commune and paid for half of the inventory in his space. Su Wen got the supply purchase list issued by the secretary of the commune and the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and solved several large-volume purchases, leaving only some It's a small batch. For small batches, you can go back to several villages near Sujiazhuang to get a certificate. Fortunately, every purchase back to the factory has detailed records, so the quantity will not be wrong.
In the next few days, Su Wen was busy dealing with these small batch purchases. They contacted several villages near Sujiazhuang one by one, hoping to get their help and issue legal certification documents.
After communicating with these villages and paying some costs, Su Wen successfully obtained all purchase certificates.
Su Wen, who no longer had any worries, completely relaxed. He felt an unprecedented sense of relief and ease, as if a long-standing burden had finally been lifted.
Su Wen, who was in a happy mood, returned to his parents' home in Sujiazhuang and saw the old village head of Su Wen returning to the village and came to Su Wen's house. "Awen, how can you turn your elbows outward?"
"What happened to Second Grandpa? I just came back, why did my elbow turn outward?"
"Awen, when I went to the commune for the meeting, the village chiefs of several villages in Dawangzhuang told me that you bought a lot of purchase certificates from them. If you need a purchase certificate, just go back to the village and I can give it to you. Come on, if you don’t make money for our own village, aren’t you turning your elbows outward? The old village chief scolded Su Wen angrily.
"Second Grandpa, please keep your voice down. I am not turning my elbows outward. There is a new deputy director in our factory. The new officer has three fires when he takes office. The first fire is in our purchasing department. I don't know what I am doing." Can you pass the test? You also know the tricks in unplanned material procurement. He insists on using rules and regulations to deal with us. There is nothing we can do. Give me this certificate. If nothing happens to me, I will be fine. If something happens to me, the village will too. Being involved, you know that the steel rolling mill is a department-level unit, and our commune is just a minion in front of others."
When the old village chief heard Su Wen's explanation, he frowned and fell silent. "So how are you doing now? He hasn't caused you any more trouble, has he?" the old village chief asked with concern.
"Second Grandpa, it's okay now. Who knows what will happen in the future. If it's okay, I'll go home first."
