Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

Returning to the normal process, Li Dongfang finally felt less uncomfortable. However, just when the outstanding employee representative was speaking to the end, the female worker who was speaking made a request: "Thank you leaders for your affirmation of my work, but I still have a little difficulty here. I hope the factory leaders can give me help."

The leaders present immediately looked displeased. No one had ever dared to raise any request in such an occasion. However, Li Dongfang became interested and mentally appreciated the behavior of causing trouble for the leaders of the machine repair factory.

The female worker was very smart. She stated her request without waiting for the leader to speak: "I have many children at home. It's the end of the year. I ask the factory to reward me with two meal coupons so that my children can have a full meal."

As soon as the female worker finished speaking, someone stood up and scolded, "Liang Ladi, the factory's rewards are fixed. How can we give you two extra meal coupons? Come down here quickly."

The female worker called Liang Ladi was immediately excited when she heard this: "Director Qian, I don't need other rewards from the factory, can't I just have two more meal coupons?"

"You...you are making a fuss. Can the factory leader's decision be changed just because you ask for it? Come down here immediately!"

The head of the personnel section introduced Li Dongfang to him and he found out that Director Qian was Liang Ladi's workshop director. No wonder he was so angry. He was simply trying to put him in a bad light in front of the factory leaders. It was so disorganized and undisciplined.

At this time, several factory leaders also discussed the result in a low voice. Someone stood up and said, "Comrade Liang Ladi, I am the director of the logistics department. The factory has discussed your request. I regret to tell you that it is not possible. You also know that rationing is tight these days, and the factory really can't squeeze out extra meal coupons."

Liang Ladi's eyes, which originally had a glimmer of hope, suddenly dimmed and she prepared to step down from the stage.

Li Dongfang could see clearly that besides being beautiful, she also had a very impressive figure, at least the largest he had ever seen.

After thinking about it, he felt that he had to help her no matter she was causing trouble for the leader or because of her appearance. The key point was that he had already remembered who Liang Ladi was, and he had to seize the opportunity to improve his favor with such a pretty widow. As for her four children, would they be a problem for him with unlimited resources? The key point was that these children were well educated by Liang Ladi, and they were not comparable to the ungrateful wolves like Bang Geng, so he had no reason to refuse to help.

Thinking of this, Li Dongfang stood up and said, "Wait, leaders, I also have meal coupons in our factory, right?"

Perhaps because they hadn’t introduced him yet, it was obvious that no one else knew Li Dongfang, so the head of the personnel department quickly introduced him: “This is someone who was seconded from the department, Li Dongfang, head of the department.”

Upon hearing this, all the leaders stood up and shook hands with Li Dongfang. Although they didn't know what Li Dongfang was trying to do, they had to be polite on the surface. Otherwise, not to mention what Section Chief Li was thinking, it would seem that you had disregarded the face of the department.

It was the logistics director who spoke up: "Chief Li, of course you have meal coupons, three for the canteen meal coupons per day."

After receiving a positive answer, Li Dongfang turned to Liang Ladi who had not yet stepped down and said, "Comrade Liang Ladi, since your family is in trouble, I will give you all my meal coupons in my personal name. I hope it can help you."

There are many meanings to what Li Dongfang said. First, the meal coupons were given in an individual's name and had nothing to do with the factory. The second meaning was that I was the good guy, not anyone in the factory. He did not give any face to the factory leaders present at all.

The head of logistics department could also hear the dissatisfaction with the factory in Li Dongfang's words, but he couldn't figure out how he had offended the new section chief, so he asked, "Section Chief Li, if you give out all the meal coupons, how are you going to solve your own food problem? This isn't appropriate."

Li Dongfang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I don't care. I won't starve if I skip a meal. Besides, my salary at the steel mill is still the same. At most, I can run a few steps. If that doesn't work, I can go to Minister Wang's house for a meal. By the way, this place seems to be closer to Minister Duan's house."

The factory leaders completely understood that Section Chief Li had something against them. Who were Minister Wang and Minister Duan? They were powerful leaders in the Ministry of Industry. As for Minister Duan's home being closer, that was nonsense. Both ministers lived in the same compound, and only Minister Duan lived closer to the compound gate. The straight-line distance was only 20 meters, right?

You are definitely trying to put pressure on all the leaders in the factory, but they can only watch. After all, they are just on secondment, and they can just leave if they are not happy, and you have no right to control them. Isn't that infuriating?

When Liang Ladi heard this, her face turned red with excitement. She had originally just wanted two more meal coupons, but now she had three more for each day, and they were for the small canteen. Although the food was the same, it tasted much better than the ordinary workers' canteen. She hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, thank you, Chief Li. I'll have the children kowtow to you later."

Li Dongfang smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and let her go off the stage.

The atmosphere of the subsequent meetings was not so enthusiastic. After Li Dongfang's intervention, the commendation meeting became a little unpleasant and ended in a hurry. However, the workers were very excited about this. They didn't care about the meeting at all. The main thing was to finish the meeting quickly so that they could discuss how to eat pork. After all, they had worked hard for a year and the department rewarded them with a big fat pig. There were nearly two thousand people in the venue, and a pig weighing more than 200 pounds meant that each person could only get about one or two pounds. That was a big surprise. Many people hadn't tasted meat for a year. It would be great if they could get some and take it home so that they could have meat dumplings during the New Year.

After the meeting, Li Dongfang didn't say hello to the factory leaders, he just turned around and left. He came here for the tricycles, and didn't plan to have any interaction with these people, plus he encountered the welcome pig issue...

As soon as he walked out of the venue, he saw Liang Ladi jogging towards him, which made Li Dongfang's eyes dizzy. Her breasts were plump and elastic.

"Chief Li, thank you so much. You have helped our family a lot. If you don't mind, please come to our house for lunch and let the children thank you." Liang Ladi didn't know whether she was excited or running. Her face was flushed and she didn't look like someone who had several children.

"Okay, then I'll bother you." Li Dongfang thought that the factory leaders might invite him to have dinner together, so it would be better to have dinner with Liang Ladi, the pretty widow, so he agreed after a little hesitation.
