Chapter 244 First Contact with Yuan Zhi
After agreeing to have lunch together with Bai Wei and Lu Quan, Li Qin greeted Chang Xia and then headed straight for Wang Dawei's office.
When I arrived at the office door, I found that the door was open.
At this moment, Wang Dawei was sitting at his desk, talking to someone across from him.
The person had their back to Li Qin, so Li Qin couldn't see their face clearly.
However, judging from his build, he seems to be a young man.
Just as Li Qin was preparing to come back to find Wang Dawei later, Wang Dawei happened to see Li Qin standing at the door.
Wang Dawei immediately stood up from his seat and then greeted Li Qin:
"Xiao Li, come in quickly, we've been waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately stopped in his tracks and turned to walk into Wang Dawei's office with a smile.
As Wang Dawei stood up, the young man sitting opposite him also stood up and moved away from his seat.
As Li Qin entered the office, he got a clear look at the young man's appearance. And indeed, Li Qin's judgment was quite accurate; he was indeed a young man.
They're even a bit too young.
She looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
Li Qin glanced at the other person but then paid no more attention to them.
He then turned his gaze to Wang Dawei;
"Team leader, I'm sorry I'm late. I made you wait."
Normally, Li Qin arriving at the steel rolling mill at this time would be considered early.
But Wang Dawei just said he was waiting for Li Qin, so even if it's just a superficial project, Li Qin still needs to show some appreciation.
Wang Dawei, however, smiled and said nonchalantly:
"No need to be so polite, I was just saying."
Li Qin simply smiled and nodded, without saying anything.
Actually, he was just being polite, giving the other party face.
Given his demonstrated abilities and Li Huaide's backing, he doesn't really need to pay too much attention to Wang Dawei.
Li Qin has always advocated being low-key in his personal life but high-profile in his work.
Even when dealing with the oddballs in the courtyard, he would maintain a polite facade as long as they didn't provoke him.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
Wang Dawei suddenly became serious.
Li Qin understood what the other person meant and nodded in agreement.

However, Li Qin still had a smile on his face, but his eyes became serious and earnest.
At this moment, Wang Dawei suddenly looked at the young man next to him;
"Yuan Zhi, this is the senior colleague I found for you. You need to learn from Li Qin and strive to become a full-time employee as soon as possible."
The young man, even younger than Li Qin, immediately walked up to Li Qin upon hearing this:
"Master, I am Yuan Zhi. I will be troubling you from now on."
After saying that, he looked at Li Qin.
When Li Qin saw the young man's appearance, he already had some guesses in his mind.
Wang Dawei's words confirmed his guess; the young man was indeed Yuan Zhi.
Li Qin first gave Yuan Zhi a deep look, then said with a smile on his face:
"No need to call me master. This is a new era with new trends. We don't follow the old ways anymore. Besides, we're not that far apart in age."
You can just call me by my name, Li Qin, or whatever else you like; it's just a form of address.
The title "Master" is quite special.
Especially in the old days, a master was like a father.
Once Li Qin accepts this title, the relationship between him and Yuan Zhi will no longer be a simple colleague relationship.
Li Qin was even responsible for many of Yuan Zhi's affairs.
Li Qin was naturally unwilling; at least for now, before he was certain of Yuan Zhi's character, he didn't want to complicate the relationship too much.
It's better to keep it simple.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Yuan Zhi's face showed a look of bewilderment.
He subconsciously glanced at Wang Dawei beside him.
At this moment, a hint of disappointment flashed in Wang Dawei's eyes.
Yuan Zhi addressed Li Qin as "Master" as soon as he opened his mouth; this was actually taught to him by Wang Dawei.
The purpose was to deepen the relationship between Li Qin and Yuan Zhi.
I thought Li Qin was young and wouldn't understand the deeper meaning behind it, so he just agreed without thinking.
Unexpectedly, Li Qin refused outright, and his excuse was quite plausible.
Even Wang Dawei couldn't refute it.
Asking Yuan Zhi to address Li Qin as "Master" was merely a test; success would be ideal, but failure wouldn't matter.
Although Wang Dawei was disappointed, he still had to continue doing what needed to be done.
"Yuan Zhi, since Li Qin doesn't care about these things, you can call him Brother Li from now on. After all, he's a bit older than you."
Wang Dawei then said to Yuan Zhi.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi nodded quickly, then looked at Li Qin again:
"Brother Li, I don't know anything, please bear with me in the future."
This time, he didn't call him "Master," but rather "Brother Li."
Li Qin nodded after hearing this, and then said with a smile, "I only joined the company two months earlier than you, so I don't actually know much. Let's be tolerant of each other and help each other improve."
Although Li Qin had a smile on his face, his attitude was neither close nor distant.
What he said was also quite official.
Upon realizing this, Wang Dawei's face flashed with disappointment once again.
However, Yuan Zhi clearly didn't understand these things, at least not yet. After hearing Li Qin's words, Yuan Zhi subconsciously touched his head and a simple smile appeared on his face.
Although Li Qin didn't seem to have any closeness to Yuan Zhi, nor did he show any appreciation or admiration for her.
But actually, his first impression of Yuan Zhi was quite good.
From Yuan Zhi's tone of voice, eyes, and expressions, Li Qin could tell that he was a rather honest, obedient person with no ulterior motives.
Perhaps one's mind isn't as quick-witted, but that has its advantages.
That means they won't easily turn into cold-blooded scoundrels.
Of course, Li Qin knew he wasn't a god, and it was impossible for him to see through a person at a glance.
To determine exactly what kind of person Yuan Zhi is, we need to get to know him better.
"Our purchasing staff spend most of each month in the countryside buying supplies. Have you made all the necessary arrangements at home?"
Although Li Qin knew that Wang Dawei had other ideas for arranging for him to mentor Yuan Zhi.
But before acknowledging Yuan Zhi's abilities, Li Qin would only treat Yuan Zhi as a newcomer and mentor him normally.
At the very least, they will familiarize the other party with the work of a purchasing agent.
Regardless of whether Yuan Zhi is ultimately approved, at least he can now proceed with the procurement.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Yuan Zhi was taken aback at first, but then immediately nodded:
"There are only my grandma and me in my family. Although my grandma's health was not very good before, she is much better now after treatment."
My grandmother can take care of herself even when I go to the countryside, so I don't need to worry about her too much.
Li Qin had previously heard Wang Dawei briefly describe Yuan Zhi's family situation and knew that Yuan Zhi lived with her grandmother.
Now that Yuan Zhi had made arrangements for his grandmother, Li Qin nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I'll take you to the countryside tomorrow to experience firsthand the work of a purchasing agent."
