Chapter 245 The Promise to Go to the Countryside
Compared to empty talk about theory, Li Qin believes more in the truth that practice leads to knowledge, but of course he does not ignore the importance of theory.
However, for a purchasing agent, no matter how much theory is taught, nothing beats the real experience of purchasing firsthand.
Therefore, he planned to take Yuan Zhi with him and let him become familiar with the job of a purchasing agent through hands-on practice.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a look of surprise flashed in Yuan Zhi's eyes.
He also had some understanding of the purchasing agent's job, knowing that when going to the countryside to purchase goods, one could take advantage of the job to get some benefits.
For example, under normal circumstances, you need meat coupons to buy meat.
However, meat purchased in rural areas does not require meat coupons, and the purchasing staff can purchase meat directly from the farm.
If you wish, you can keep some for yourself.
Although his grandmother has recovered a lot after treatment, she still suffers from malnutrition.
If they could get some meat, his grandmother would recover even better.
"Team leader, has Yuan Zhi been assigned a bicycle yet?"
Li Qin suddenly thought of something else and looked at Wang Dawei again.
Going to the countryside is no easy task. If you have to walk there, not to mention the fatigue, the efficiency alone is a huge problem.
Wang Dawei's face showed a helpless expression at this moment:
"Our purchasing department doesn't have many bicycles to begin with, and even the veteran employees aren't guaranteed to get one."
Not to mention new employees.
Actually, there's one more thing Wang Dawei didn't say.
That is because there are quite a few new purchasing staff in the purchasing department this time, and even if there are spare bicycles, Wang Dawei cannot directly give them to Yuan Zhi.
Even if their relationship is different, it generally won't work.
Li Qin frowned slightly;
"That would be troublesome, since it's not so convenient to go to the countryside without a bicycle."
Although Li Qin knew that he could definitely resolve the matter by going to Li Huaide.
But he wouldn't do that; his relationship with Yuan Zhi isn't very deep right now.
At most, we can only be considered colleagues.
Li Qin would never ask Li Huaide for help just for the sake of a colleague.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Yuan Zhi again:
"In that case, you'll have to ride my bicycle, but the roads to the countryside aren't very good, so it won't be very comfortable to sit on the back."
You should be prepared.
Li Qin recalled how his backside had suffered quite a bit when he rode his bicycle to the countryside before.
That was with him having applied a cushioning spell to the bicycle, while there was no spell on the back seat.
Yuan Zhi, however, said with a determined expression:
"Don't worry, Brother Li. Being able to ride a bicycle is already a very fortunate thing. As for the rest, they are not problems."
He was speaking from the heart.
Yuan Zhi has suffered a lot because of his family situation.
He wasn't the kind of pampered young master.
Seeing this, Li Qin nodded in satisfaction;
"In that case, let's meet at the steel mill tomorrow and get all the paperwork for going to the countryside sorted out."
And then we set off again.
Yuan Zhi naturally had no objections to Li Qin's arrangements.
He nodded repeatedly to indicate that he understood.
"Team leader, now that everything is settled, I'll head out."
Li Qin could tell that Wang Dawei probably still had something to tell Yuan Zhi.
Therefore, after arranging the trip to the countryside for tomorrow, he voluntarily left the office.
Wang Dawei didn't try to stop him, and nodded as he let Li Qin leave.
Li Qin was not interested in what Wang Dawei and Yuan Zhi were going to say next.
He didn't use any means to eavesdrop.
"Li Qin, what did the team leader want to see you about?"
As soon as Li Qin returned to his workstation and sat down, Bai Wei and Lu Quan came over.
Their purchasing department's work is different from other departments; most of the time they spend in the department is spent finding things to do to pass the time.
In the past, when there were many people, they could play cards or chess.
However, the workload this month has increased significantly, and everyone is under a lot of pressure, so naturally no one is interested in playing cards or chess.
However, my love for gossip will not diminish.
Bai Wei and Lu Quan arrived earlier than Li Qin, so they naturally saw Wang Dawei call a newcomer into the office.
Now Li Qin has been inside for so long.
They were naturally curious.
Li Qin glanced at the two of them, then said softly:
"We just got a new member in our team, and the team leader wants me to mentor one to help the new colleague get familiar with purchasing quickly."
Li Qin naturally wouldn't reveal everything.
However, he didn't remain completely silent.
Instead, they chose to say what they could say.
Besides, this kind of thing isn't exactly a secret. Even if he doesn't say anything, other people will find out in a few days.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, the two men first showed a look of realization, and then a look of emotion.
Lu Quan went even further and said:
"You've only been with the company for two months, and I didn't expect you to be assigned to mentor a new employee."
He wasn't looking down on Li Qin, or having any complaints about Li Qin mentoring newcomers; he was simply expressing his feelings.
After all, when they joined the company, they were basically mentored by senior employees who had been there for at least a year and a half. Li Qin also sighed helplessly, and then said:
"There's nothing we can do about it. Ever since the monthly targets were set, you senior purchasing staff have been running around all the time."
I'm the only one who's relatively free.
These newcomers can't wait forever, so they had to put me on the list too.
Lu Quan and Bai Wei both agreed with Li Qin's statement.
They also felt that if the workload hadn't suddenly increased, these new employees would definitely have been assigned to mentor older employees who had been with the company for a long time.
They won't let Li Qin, a relative newcomer, mentor them.
Of course, they did not doubt Li Qin's abilities and believed that Li Qin would definitely be able to guide the newcomers to become familiar with the work of a purchasing agent.
The three of them chatted idly while waiting for lunchtime to end.
Of course, although it was called casual conversation, it was actually mainly Bai Wei and Lu Quan who did the talking, while Li Qin was mainly responsible for listening.
The two mainly talked about what they encountered during their recent trip to the countryside to purchase goods.
From their conversation, Li Qin realized that their recent shopping trips to the countryside had yielded fewer and fewer results each time.
Especially in areas closer to Beijing, they've almost been completely wiped out.
In order to complete the mission, they had no choice but to go to those remote rural areas that they had never been willing to go before.
Even so, with the end of the month fast approaching, they are still far from completing their procurement task.
When they talked about these things, their tone became full of sighs.
Listening to their conversation, Li Qin became even more certain of their purpose in inviting him to dinner.
With this assurance in mind, Li Qin immediately relaxed.
While they were talking, Yuan Zhi also came out of Wang Dawei's office.
Yuan Zhi found an empty workstation not far from Li Qin and sat down.
He did not gravitate towards Li Qin just because he was assigned to study under Li Qin.
Rather, it's about understanding and respecting boundaries.
Li Qin was very satisfied with Yuan Zhi's actions.
This location is not too far from Li Qin, but not too close either; it's just right.
