Chapter 168 Future Plans
After having lunch at home, Li Qin rested for a while before riding his bicycle to the steel rolling mill.
More than ten days have passed since Li Qin officially moved into the backyard of the courtyard house.
During this period, although Li Qin often left early and returned late, and sometimes even disappeared for several days in a row, the people in the courtyard gradually accepted his presence after he came and went so often.
At least unlike in the beginning, when Li Qin's comings and goings would attract attention.
Moreover, through observation over this period of time, many people in the courtyard began to change their attitude towards Li Qin.
They noticed that Li Qin was always smiling and polite to everyone.
Over time, the people in the courtyard naturally let go of their worries.
Nowadays, some residents in the courtyard house have started to greet Li Qin proactively when they encounter him.
Although Li Qin looked down on some of the people in the courtyard, he had no hostility towards these ordinary, unassuming people.
So I don't mind giving these people a smile and kindness.
However, after so many days, some people still have considerable opinions about Li Qin.
For example, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi from the Jia family in the Intermediate People's Court:
Qin Huai was so clever that he always felt that there was something hidden beneath Li Qin's ever-present smile, something unsettling.
As for Jia Zhangshi, it was purely out of jealousy;
They were jealous of Li Qin's easy job, jealous of Li Qin's house, jealous of Li Qin's bicycle, and jealous of Li Qin bringing back pheasants and rabbits every now and then.
Within the court, there was another person who not only wasn't close to Li Qin, but also harbored considerable hostility towards him:
That was He Yuzhu.
Ever since He Yuzhu suffered a loss at Li Qin's hands the first time, he has held a grudge against Li Qin.
He tried to take revenge on Li Qin several times, but failed each time, and even ended up looking like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This intensified He Yuzhu's resentment towards Li Qin.
Therefore, no matter what, He Yuzhu would never give Li Qin a friendly look.
Fortunately, Li Qin didn't care about such things.
Although every time Li Qin encountered He Yuzhu, he could guess that the other person was either cursing or swearing at him.
However, as long as He Yuzhu doesn't say it out loud, Li Qin won't do anything based on what the other person is thinking.
Moreover, He Yuzhu's actions will not only have no real impact on him, but will also provide Li Qin with a lot of emotional support.
Li Qin would be even less likely to intervene in such a matter.
Besides He Yuzhu, there are two other people who also harbor considerable hostility towards Li Qin.
They were Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman who had been tricked by Li Qin with words.
The deaf old woman also called Yi Zhonghai to conduct an in-depth analysis of Li Qin.
The conclusion was that Li Qin and they were not on the same side.
And he's a troublemaker.
If we can't suppress Li Qin's momentum, it might affect the thoughts of some people in the courtyard.
This is very disadvantageous for Yi Zhonghai, who is determined to be the ancestor of the courtyard house and to control it.
Although the two were determined to take action against Li Qin.
Unfortunately, Li Qin did not give them the chance.
The two of them could only endure it.
Speaking of Yi Zhonghai, we have to mention an older woman.
Although the two were family, the older woman didn't seem to have any hostility towards Li Qin.
Even when she encountered Li Qin, she would greet him with a pleasant expression.
It was clear that the older woman genuinely meant him no harm; on the contrary, she even showed some kindness.
Li Qin was also somewhat moved at that moment.
Yi Zhonghai's old silver coin has really caused a lot of harm.
They actually used such a kind-hearted person to bear the stigma of being unable to have children.
Li Qin even considered that if Yi Zhonghai provoked him in the future, he would spread the word about it.
Then Yi Zhonghai will be killed.
Li Qin rode his bicycle toward the steel rolling mill, thinking to himself;
"Tomorrow happens to be Sunday. We'll see how things go then and meet with the forces behind the black market to finalize the cooperation as soon as possible."
This matter concerns the collection of gold and silver, so starting early is beneficial.
After making the decision, Li Qin's eyes immediately became firm.
Li Qin arrived at the steel rolling mill after riding for more than ten minutes.
Nowadays, he is rarely stopped from entering and leaving the steel rolling mill.
The guards at the gate of the steel rolling mill are all from the security department, and the personnel are relatively fixed.
Li Qin has come and gone so many times that he now knows almost all of these people.
In addition, Li Qin had previously knocked out the head of the security department at a dinner party, which made Li Qin even more notorious in the security department.
Upon arriving at the steel rolling mill, Li Qin first went to the purchasing department to clock in.
Then I got the paperwork for the last purchase from Wang Dawei.
Li Qin immediately went to the finance department to collect the money.
After doing that, Li Qin had nothing else to do.
At first, he chatted with his colleagues in the purchasing department.
With only about ten days left until the end of the month, most of the purchasing staff from the third purchasing team have gone out to make purchases.
There are only a few people in the group.
After spending some time in the purchasing department, Li Qin left and then went to Li Huaide's office for a while.
After finishing a few packets of cigarettes, he left.
Li Huaide has quite a few things to do.
He can't stay there forever.
He then began to wander around the steel rolling mill.
"It seems that the expansion of the steel rolling mill is basically complete, and the next step should be to increase recruitment."
While strolling around, Li Qin saw many newly completed workshops.
Once the recruitment drive ends, the number of employees at the steel rolling mill will more than double.
It will become a large factory with six or seven thousand employees.
Even within the entire city of Beijing, it was considered a fairly large factory.
However, Li Qin knew that the steel rolling mill would expand its workforce again in the future.
Only then will the steel rolling mill reach its peak, becoming a large factory with nearly 10,000 employees.
Moreover, the time interval between the second and third expansions of enrollment was not very long.
It is now 56. If Li Qin remembers correctly, the third expansion of enrollment will likely be in 58.
This is a rather special time.
In the autumn of 58, there was a widespread grain shortage across the country, and 59 marked the beginning of a three-year period of disasters.
At that time, the pressure on supplies will be enormous for steel mills, other units, and even the entire country.
Li Qin had already decided to take advantage of that special period to complete some plans.
If successful, the gains will be substantial, whether in terms of emotional power or gold and silver.
To accomplish Li Qin's plan...
Or to be more precise, to gain more emotional power, one needs a massive amount of material support.
This is why Li Qin was in a hurry to build the alchemical pagoda in order to obtain more resources.
"Although time is a bit tight, I believe that with the accumulation of these two years, achieving the plan should not be a problem."
Li Qin was very confident.
Li Qinwen then continued to wander around the steel rolling mill.
As he passed by the security department, he was unexpectedly spotted by the department head, Wei Kai, who insisted on making him sit in the security department for a while.
Through Wei Kai's introduction, he gained some understanding of many people in the security department.
This will be of considerable benefit to Li Qin in his future work at the steel rolling mill.
