Siheyuan: Picked up by a goddess in 48 years

Chapter 286 Analysis of Lu Zhenyuan

"Don't talk nonsense to me, kid!"

"You have no joke."

After staring at Lu Zhenyuan for a while, Director Li suddenly smiled and pointed at Lu Zhenyuan, "Boy, I don't know whether to say you are bold or cautious."

"Okay, I won't ask you where your stuff comes from. As long as the quality of the stuff is good, I don't care what it is. As long as you can get it, I'll give it to you! I'll buy the food at the market price."

"If you can get anything else, I'll charge you the market price as long as it's valuable!"

Lu Zhenyuan twitched the corner of his mouth. It seemed that Director Li was more open-minded than he had imagined.

He also understands the current situation.

As long as you have the ability, no matter where it comes from, as long as you get it and sell it, it is a legitimate thing!

I'm not afraid of you getting something, I'm just afraid of you not getting it!

The starting points are different. The people below care about petty gains, while the people above consider the overall situation.

He knew it, but he was afraid that Director Li would not understand it. After all, those who hold high positions are not necessarily good-for-nothings. Who can guarantee it?

For now, the results appear to be good.

All products are purchased at market prices. This is not Director Li trying to pressure the price. Purchasing at market prices means that the supply and marketing cooperative will not make any profit. Not only will they not make any profit, but they will also have to pay for labor costs.

But can you say this is a losing business? Don't forget what the nature of the supply and marketing cooperative is?

The current market can be said to be in short supply. There are too many people who cannot get enough food or eat well. Some places are willing to say that at most they will not starve to death.

Even decades later, who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?

These are all taught in elementary school textbooks.

The first thing that those in power need is stability of the situation, and only then can they consider other issues.

What matters is your contribution, not your methods. As long as your contribution is great, who can say you are wrong? If you destroy the plaster flag, not to mention reopening the family tree for you, everyone who sees you will bow to you.

Those in power never care about the means; they only want the results. If the results are good, then everything will be good.

It's not that there are cases of people getting rid of their employees after they have done their job, but it also depends on the timing. The situation now is far less intense than it will be during the booming development stage a few decades later.

After all, there were more people who had enough to eat at that time, and their pursuits were different.

It turns out that Director Li has a very clear mind.

Lu Zhenyuan smiled slightly, "For now, we only have food. I'll see if I can get some pigs later. I'll think of other things."

Director Li nodded secretly and muttered "little fox" at the same time, but he also knew that he had to show his attitude at this time.

"Okay, you try your best. As long as it's not a matter of principle, then it's not a problem. If you need any support, just ask."

Lu Zhenyuan secretly thought that this was what he was waiting for.

"Leader, I don't know if there will be more unplanned purchases in the future, but it will definitely be a lot. The planned purchases haven't been completed yet. Can I use this person's hands..."

Director Li understood.

"Well, there are a few people short. So, I won't tell you a limit on the number of people you need. You can recruit as many people as you want." He believed that Lu Zhenyuan knew what was going on and would act with discretion.

Fortunately, he was not given a number of workstations and was left to figure it out on his own.

After all, there are only so many jobs, and everyone knows how many workers to hire.

Just don't go too far. After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it.

After negotiating for a while, Lu Zhenyuan was about to leave with satisfaction when he was stopped by Director Li.

"Ahem, that Xiao Lu, the cigarette he took out last time..." Director Li felt a little embarrassed. It was not what a leader should do to ask for benefits from his subordinates, but he felt really uncomfortable when the urge to smoke came.

Lu Zhenyuan was stunned, "Leader, have you finished that box?"

Director Li was unusually embarrassed, and this scene made Xiaowen, who was standing next to him, open his eyes wide in disbelief.

"Alas, my husband also has this hobby, so we finally have similar interests. But in the end, well..." As he spoke, Director Li smacked his lips, looking regretful.

The corners of Lu Zhenyuan's mouth twitched.

"Boss, we don't have it now. The production of that thing is too low. But if you just have a strong addiction to smoking, I'll get you a good thing tomorrow that will definitely make you smoke less!"

Director Li was a little disappointed to hear that there was no such cigarettes, but he also felt it was reasonable. After all, the feeling of smoking that kind of cigarettes was different, so it was normal to have less of them.

"Okay, then don't say that I, your leader, took advantage of you. I'll pay you what you deserve."

"It's just a few boxes of cigarettes. If the leader is satisfied, you might as well exchange it with tea from me. No need to pay." Lu Zhenyuan noticed that although there was tea in Director Li's office, there was not even a trace of tea foam in the cup.

It is obvious that tea is only used to entertain guests, and he himself has little interest in tea.

For leaders, the things they have no shortage of at home are wine, tea and cigarettes.

Exchanging unwanted tea leaves for desired cigarettes, this deal couldn't be better.

Sure enough, Director Li's eyes lit up, "Xiao Lu, do you like tea?"

"It's just a little hobby."

"Okay! That's settled then. And don't forget, if you have any more of that kind of cigarettes in the future, remember to give me a few. I have a few boxes of good tea at home."

Lu Zhenyuan also agreed with a smile, creating a win-win situation.

After Lu Zhenyuan left, Director Li gradually put away his smile, but there was still a curve at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head secretly and muttered something about this little fox.

"Uncle..."

"Tsk, I've reminded you so many times that when you're working it's called position!"

Xiaowen opened his mouth. Didn’t he tell him last time that he should call him uncle in private to appear closer?

Seeing Xiaowen's expression, Director Li seemed to recall the incident, and his face immediately turned serious. He said, "From now on, you can call me position at work, and call me uncle when you go home."

Xiao Wen thought to himself that he would not live in your house either, but he did not dare to say it. Instead, he asked, "Leader, do you think highly of Section Chief Lu?"

Director Li sighed and asked, "Then tell me, what kind of impression does he give you? Be direct and intuitive."

Xiaowen did not answer immediately, but recalled Lu Zhenyuan's behavior since he entered the room.

Seeing this, Director Li nodded secretly.

This younger generation is at least steady, otherwise he would really be too lazy to take care of such distant relatives.

Xiaowen calls him uncle because Xiaowen is the child of his wife's younger sister. At most, he is half of his wife's family, and has nothing to do with him.

This child is also very capable, and his mother-in-law has spoken up, otherwise...

"The impression Chief Lu gives me is that he is bold, cautious, dignified, and a little bit... rebellious?" Xiao Wen said, looking at her uncle's face.

Director Li smiled. "Not bad, more or less. He is capable and has the courage to take the lead, yet he can still maintain composure. This is rare. But there is one thing. When you say he is unruly, you are referring to the way he calls me, right?"

Xiaowen nodded and pretended to listen to the instructions.

Director Li lit a cigarette, took a deep puff and then said, "He is not unruly. He is stubborn, undisciplined, disrespectful and arrogant. He must have at least two of these four qualities to be called unruly."

"There's one thing you didn't mention. That is, ever since he came in, he has always been confident in front of me. This confidence is not something he pretends to have, but comes from the heart. It's like a quality he was born with. Because it's so natural, you overlooked this most important point."

"So, he is not unruly, but neither humble nor arrogant. He does not feel inferior to people of higher status than himself, nor is he arrogant to people of lower status than himself. He treats people with a proper attitude and knows when to negotiate."

"This kid must have quite a background." Director Li said this at the end as if he was sighing.

"Leader, how do you know that Section Chief Lu is not pretending?"

"Pack?"

Director Li smiled and said, "Do you think he is pretending?"

Xiao Wen remained silent. He had asked that question only because he was a little dissatisfied with his uncle's high opinion of Lu Zhenyuan.

"You can have more contact with him in the future. It won't do you any harm."

Xiaowen nodded. He was not stupid. The other person looked to be about the same age as him and was already the section chief. This alone was enough to explain a lot of problems.

Making friends with such people will also be beneficial to his future career.
