Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Steel rolling mill, Li Huaide’s office.

"Is it done?"

Wang Hongtao nodded: "Yes, Director Li, the child's household registration has been transferred, and Master Yi has taken the child back home."

"Well done." After saying that, Li Huaide waved to Wang Hongtao:

"Please take the money for the pills first." Li Huaide handed over eighty yuan, and explained that Wang Hongtao might not understand. "The extra twenty yuan is for the porcelain bottle."

Hmm? 12X5=60.

Four small porcelain bottles for twenty?

Ok, Ok.

Wang Hongtao took it with satisfaction.

Then Li Huaide said in embarrassment: "One more thing, can you get a few more of those red ones?"

More? It's only been a week since I last bought ten pills. How come you finished them so quickly?

Wang Hongtao frowned: "Director Li, I'm not being stingy."

"The effects of this medicine are not yet apparent, but if you take too much, there will definitely be side effects."

"It's okay to deal with emergencies occasionally and adjust it."

"If I keep eating, my body may not be able to bear it."

Hearing Wang Hongtao say this, Li Huaide felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"Xiao Wang, you are thoughtful."

"I've been exercising recently. I don't even ride a bike anymore. I run to and from work."

"Also, this time I didn't ask for it myself. Minister Zhang came to me."

"As usual, can you give me ten?"

"The ready-made ones are sold out, but since Minister Zhang wants them, I will try my best to get them. Just wait for my good news."

"Okay, whether I can get it or not, I'll accept your favor." Li Huaide said with a smile

"I'll give you the money this time first. I can't let you pay for it every time."

As he spoke, Li Huaide took out another hundred and handed it over.

"That's not right, Director Li. Shouldn't ten pills be fifty? Why are you giving me a hundred?"

Wang Hongtao was surprised for a moment, but then he quickly reacted: "Oh, I understand. It must be because I told you last time that there was not much stock of this medicine, and then Director Li and Minister Zhang raised the price!"

"Well, I won't take advantage of you. Let's split the extra fifty into five, so how about twenty-five each?"

Li Huaide: "How can that be possible? With this extra money..."

"Even if we each get half, you're not even going to give me that? Director Li, you're going too far, aren't you? I treated you like a friend and gave you all the money at cost, but you made a profit and you won't even give me half of the difference?"

"Okay, since you're the factory director, you'll be thirty and I'll be twenty! This is my bottom line, you have to give me some face, you can't just give me some soup and send me off!"

After all, subcontracting and increasing costs at every level is a normal thing in the situation.

It is like the reward on a certain novel website in later generations. The readers give a 128-yuan great writer certification, after deducting the iOS recharge channel fee, website share, personal tax, etc.

The author was left with only a pitiful fifty-eight yuan, which made his already poor life even worse.

.....

By analogy, Wang Hongtao believed that Li Huaide paid him 100 yuan for ten pills because he was afraid that he would talk nonsense and Minister Zhang would know the real price, so he used money to keep him quiet.

I only sold you five dollars for a small pill that costs one dollar each, but you turned around and doubled the price. Let's not say 50-50, but 40-60 is not too much, right?

If it really doesn't work, then try a 30-70 ratio. If there is one, then try a 20-25 ratio. This is still better than long-term transactions.

.....

Li Huaide's expression became increasingly awkward, and he could only interrupt the "angry" Wang Hongtao with a cough:

"Ahem, Xiao Wang, the extra fifty is your hard-earned money for massaging Minister Zhang. Minister Zhang is waiting for you in the room inside."

Karma?

Is that the fee for the massage?

And Minister Zhang is waiting in the inner room.

Didn't he hear everything that was just said?

You know, in order to fight for his interests and argue his case, Wang Hongtao did not lower his voice at all.

Just then, the door of the inner room opened, and Minister Zhang looked at Wang Hongtao with a smile.

Now it was Wang Hongtao's turn to be at a loss, but this bastard's brain circuit was still very fast. He immediately argued: "Don't get me wrong, Minister Zhang. I was actually testing Director Li just now to see if he would abandon his original intention and betray the organization under the temptation of interests, and whether he could stick to his principles and not be corrupted by capital."

"The result is obvious. Director Li has perfectly resisted the temptation of money. This fully proves that your training of Director Li is worthwhile and he is worthy of your trust."

After saying that, Wang Hongtao grabbed the hundred yuan from Li Huaide's hand and put it into his trouser pocket.

Four or six? Ugh, they're all mine!

Li Huaide turned his head and couldn't bear to look at him: Is this still a human being? He has no shame at all!

Minister Zhang was stunned for a moment, then said with a complicated expression: "I say, Lao Li, it's a pity for you as a driver not to pursue a career in politics."

Li Huaide nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I have never seen anyone better than him at being shameless."

Wang Hongtao grinned and said, "Leader, you know I'm not well-educated, so I'll take it as a compliment."

Minister Zhang and Li Huaide looked at each other, and finally shook their heads helplessly, walked into the room and lay down obediently.

Wang Hongtao also used all his martial arts to beat Minister Zhang, causing his joints to crackle. After the cracking, his whole body felt refreshed.

Minister Zhang stood up and stretched himself, then said with emotion: "Xiao Wang, with your skills, you will never have to worry about having a job!"

"Minister Zhang, you are too kind. If you think my massage can still have some effect, come over a few more times. I won't play tricks on you! I will do as much as I can!"

Minister Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I believe that you are honest, but can you guarantee that you will not team up with Lao Li to cheat me?"

Wang Hongtao scratched his head: "Minister Zhang, please don't laugh at me. I know I'm wrong, isn't it enough..."

"Haha, let's go play a game."

After the massage, Minister Zhang felt refreshed and wanted to practice his ball skills with Wang Hongtao.

"It just so happens that I also want to ask Minister Zhang for some advice. I've been looking forward to your absence these days. I feel uncomfortable if I don't get your teachings for a day!"

……

After an exciting hour, Wang Hongtao continued to lose with a score of 19:21.

This time, Minister Zhang didn't say anything. He just smiled and nodded at Wang Hongtao a few times, with a meaningful expression.

Those who can reach the position of minister are naturally smart people. If they fail to discover it once, twice, and still cannot discover it for the third time, it would be unacceptable.

Minister Zhang deliberately held back halfway through the game today, but the team still won by a narrow margin of two points.

How could he not understand Xiao Wang's intention at this point?

But even though he understood it, looking at Wang Hongtao who was sweating profusely in front of him, he not only did not blame him at all, but instead took him more seriously.

"Xiao Wang, you are great. Xiao Zhang, the secretary of Director Li, is my nephew. If you can help me take care of him, I will owe you a favor."

"Ah?" Wang Hongtao was stunned for a moment after hearing Minister Zhang's incoherent words.

Let me take him?

you sure?

If you go astray, don’t come back to settle the score with me!
