Chapter 119 Unsung Heroes
While Li Qin was queuing for food, he could hear the constant chatter of the surrounding employees.
About 90% of the discussions revolved around Labor Day benefits.
Regardless of any previous grievances these employees may have had against the steel rolling mill, they were now praising the mill's leadership.
Every time these people discussed the topic, Li Qin's smile would become even more pronounced.
Because these people provide him with emotional support.
Although each person contributes only a small amount each time, the steel rolling mill has several thousand employees.
With such a large base, he acquired a considerable amount of emotional power.
"Give me a steamed bun, a shredded potato, and a green vegetable."
Soon it was Li Qin's turn to get his food.
He glanced at today's dishes.
It turned out to be just ordinary big pot dishes, although they were a bit oily.
He casually ordered two dishes and a steamed bun.
It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but rather that he planned to eat something casually and find an opportunity to go into the space later to eat better food. Since He Yuzhu was on leave and didn't go to work, there was naturally no commotion when Li Qin got his food.
After getting his food, he took his lunchbox and found a quiet corner to sit down.
He ate while listening to the conversations of the people around him.
Suddenly, he heard something interesting;
Have you heard?
An employee suddenly asked the person next to him.
The surrounding employees looked at this person with immediate confusion:
"What did you hear?"
The employee who spoke first suddenly showed a strange look on his face, and then raised his voice slightly.
"As you all know, my brother-in-law works in the logistics department;"
I heard him say that the reason the steel mill was able to give us a pound of meat this time was entirely thanks to Director Li Huaide of the Logistics Department.
Upon hearing this, many of the surrounding employees immediately showed expressions of admiration and gratitude.
"It seems we really should thank Director Li."
"Yeah yeah!"
Listening to their conversation, a strange light flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He had some guesses in his mind.
"I always said that Li Huaide was busy pushing this matter forward, how could he possibly be willing to be an unsung hero?"
Li Qin ate his food while thinking to himself.
Li Huaide intends to use this incident to remove the title of "Deputy" from his name.
How could he gain such great prestige if the workers at the steel mill hadn't known about his contributions?
If he wasn't mistaken, the person who had just spoken must be related to Li Huaide.
Even if it wasn't a direct instruction from Li Huaide, it must have been arranged by one of Li Huaide's subordinates.
Moreover, Li Qin was certain that there was more than one person like this.
Other canteens, workshops...
There must be similar things happening here.
It's believed that this matter will spread throughout the steel rolling mill very soon.
Li Qin was also happy to see this happen.
After all, whether in the eyes of others or in Li Huaide's heart, he is now the other party's confidant.
The higher Li Huaide's position, the greater the benefits for these people.
"Xiao Li, you're eating in the cafeteria too?"
Just as Li Qin was deep in thought, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ear.
Li Qin subconsciously looked up and immediately saw Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu standing in front of him, each holding their own lunchbox.
Li Qin was taken aback at first, but then a smile appeared on his face again:
"Yes, Uncle, Brother Jia, you guys eat at the cafeteria too? Why don't you sit with us?"
Although he was certain that Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu had intentionally approached him, he didn't say anything.
Since we all live in the same courtyard, no matter what scheming is behind it, we still need to maintain appearances before we completely break off relations.
Moreover, he has not yet had a direct conflict with the two people in front of him.
Then there's even less reason to be a hedgehog.
"Then let's sit together."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Yi Zhonghai remained smiling and, without any hesitation, sat down directly opposite Li Qin.
Upon seeing this, Jia Dongxu sat to Yi Zhonghai's left.
"Xiao Li, have you been very busy these past few days? I noticed you haven't been back to the courtyard house for several days."
Yi Zhonghai had just sat down and taken a few bites when he suddenly asked, seemingly casually.
Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately thought of the time when he had been opened.
Previously, he had no one to suspect, but now he was starting to suspect Yi Zhonghai.
Because the other person is paying too much attention to me.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but he quickly suppressed them.
It was a trivial matter, and besides, it was just his guess without any concrete evidence, so he didn't want to investigate it further.
He was thinking to himself, but that didn't stop Li Qin from speaking.
"Yes, it is indeed very busy, but that's just how the purchasing department is. It gets especially busy at the end of each month."
On my first day at work, I was sent to the countryside to make purchases, and I only recently returned to the steel rolling mill.
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have misunderstood.
He brought up the old matter again;
"Xiao Li, now you know how hard it is to work in the purchasing department. That's what I thought of before, which is why I suggested you transfer to another position."
"If you're willing, I can go with you to see the manager later. With my connections, I can definitely help you get a transfer."
Yi Zhonghai's words were really nice to hear.
His words were all for Li Qin's good, and if he agreed to this, he would owe the other party a huge favor.
Jia Dongxu, who was eating with his head down, froze when he heard these words.
However, it recovered after a short while.
Because Jia Dongxu had his head down, no one saw the fleeting hatred in his eyes.
It might be aimed at Yi Zhonghai, or it could be aimed at Li Qin.
It's more likely that it's both.
Yi Zhonghai thought that Li Qin would immediately agree after he spoke up.
Unexpectedly, Li Qin shook his head with a smile:
"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but no need. Although the purchasing department's tasks are quite tiring, I find them quite interesting."
I have no plans to change positions at the moment.
Yi Zhonghai's confident expression froze instantly.
He instinctively wanted to say something more.
But when he caught a glimpse of Jia Dongxu beside him out of the corner of his eye, he hesitated for a moment before swallowing his words.
Just then, Yi Zhonghai overheard people around him discussing Li Huaide's efforts to purchase meat for the employees.
A look of curiosity flashed across his face.
Look at Li Qin again;
"Xiao Li, Director Li from the Logistics Department is buying meat as a welfare benefit for everyone. You're also in the Logistics Procurement Section."
Are you aware of this?
Yi Zhonghai didn't have any complicated thoughts this time; he was just simply curious.
At this moment, Li Qin smiled slightly to himself;
No one knew the truth about this matter better than him, the person who personally handled it, but he couldn't tell Yi Zhonghai the truth.
He could only mumble:
"I've naturally heard about this big matter, but Director Li is a leader, and I'm just a small purchasing agent, so my knowledge is very limited."
It's probably only a tiny bit more than what you guys know about old men.
Yi Zhonghai did not doubt Li Qin's words.
Because in his mind, Li Qin was indeed an ordinary person with no background.
Although it is unknown how they entered the steel rolling mill, it is likely that they had no access to the leadership.
Thinking of this, he didn't say anything more.
