Li Siyu is now beside Tao Dan, listening to what they said about what happened in recent days, especially what Gao Yuan said made her doubtful.
"Recently, we have a large amount of coal on the black market. I don't know where it came from. It is estimated to be several tens of thousands of kilograms."
Gao Yuan whispered: "I came across them a few days ago, and they were all newly mined, but I haven't heard of any mines being discovered anywhere."
Ye Chun pushed up his glasses and said, "I've heard about it too. I don't know if it's a black mine, but I don't know where it comes from."
Li Siyu watched them all agree, it seemed that the news had been circulating for many days.
However, Zhang Xuewen didn't tell her. This was the first time she heard about it.
Suddenly, she thought about Hao Jianhong and Liu Caixia. With such a connection, many things seemed suspicious.
But there was no time to think about it now, as they started to change the topic again.
"The foundation has been laid, and it should be going smoothly so far." Ye Chun said about the recent start of construction of the grain factory, with a very happy expression on his face.
Tao Dan looked at Li Siyu and said, "The mining plant will be put into trial operation next month. You don't plan to buy a house?"
Li Siyu nodded, "Well, I have a plan. I'll see when the time comes."
Tao Dan sighed, "We don't have that many gay men here. Most of them are women, so we don't build houses. Moreover, our factory still has many vacant houses."
Li Jian looked at Li Siyu and said, "How can you, a lesbian, get a house? I heard that you are from a rural area. Do you have so much money at home?"
Several people were stunned by what he said. Li Siyu looked at him and didn't know what he meant.
Tao Dan was not happy anymore, how could he bully my little sister?: "I said Li Jian, if you are a cadre family, you can have money. Others who come from the countryside must have no money? What do you think?"
Li Jian pouted, crossed his arms and said, "I didn't say anything, I just asked, but I'm afraid to ask."
Li Siyu didn't know where his hostility came from, so he said: "Secretary Li is joking. You can ask whatever you want, but I don't have to answer."
Li Jian was choked by her words. Others did not expect Li Siyu to be so upright, and they all laughed out loud for a while.
Gao Yuan took a deep look at Li Jian. This man was becoming more and more unreliable. He had never noticed it before, but he really didn't want to continue to interact with him recently.
"Huh? We haven't gone out to get together for a long time. Let's go out to get together?" Gao Yuan suggested to break the embarrassment.
Li Jian thought about things at home, so he didn't go. Everyone else said they should go.
Li Siyu said that he can go wherever he wants, as long as he has money and tickets now.
The door of the conference room was opened, and everyone went to the construction site of the grain factory.
Some workers building houses are working in full swing. These houses are bungalows, so they are built quite quickly.
Most of them have two houses in one house, and a fence is enough in the middle. A house is more than 40 square meters, and two houses can be separated.
There are also larger ones with two units per room, each with an area of more than 60 square meters. The red brick and tile houses are all red, and the eyes of the workers passing by are burning when they look at them.
Li Siyu is also very satisfied with this kind of house. There are no buildings built in the city yet, and the resources are still not rich enough.
But she can't change this kind of thing, the times are advancing. She doesn't know how to make building materials, nor how to study technological progress.
So I can only let myself and the old lady have enough food and clothing, and that's enough.
Li Siyu felt that he did not have such great ambitions, and it was not easy to survive in the changing times.
If you are too radical and people notice it, you will lose more than you gain.
It doesn't matter if I eat something good at home and have my mother to protect me, but it won't work if I let her act too much outside.
Before leaving, Lin Cheng said a few words to Zhang Xuewen alone and gave him a letter.
Zhang Xuewen looked at Li Siyu in surprise, then nodded and left.
Li Siyu naturally saw it. She smiled gratefully at Lin Cheng and followed Zhang Xuewen away.
This scene was seen by Gao Yuan who was not far away. His eyes lit up and he immediately turned around and walked away.
Back at the mine, Zhang Xuewen took out the letter Lin Cheng gave him and said, "I didn't expect you to still have a relationship with Deputy Director Lin."
Zhang Xuewen's tone was not exploratory. Seeing her take the letter, he said: "I will say hello to the night school first, and you can report there at the beginning of the month."
Li Siyu said gratefully to Zhang Xuewen: "Then thank you, Deputy Director Zhang!"
Zhang Xuewen had long known that Li Siyu was going to attend night school, but there were no places in the mine. This time Lin Cheng came to help.
After get off work, Li Siyu went home first and told the old lady that she was not at home for dinner, changed her clothes and went out.
The state-owned hotel where we met this time was the same one we went to last time. It was not far from home, which was very convenient.
As soon as Li Siyu arrived at the door, she met Gao Yuan, who was standing at the door smoking. When he saw her coming, he waved his hand.
"Secretary Gao is here so early." Li Siyu greeted him with a smile.
"Yes, Secretary Li came second."
Gao Yuan nodded with a smile, and then said, "Is Secretary Li interested in attending our weekend exchange party?"
"Exchange party?" Li Siyu looked confused. What kind of party is this? Why haven't I heard of it?
Gao Yuan stamped out the cigarette butt and said to her: "Let's go into the house to talk. There are many people here."
Are you still afraid of crowds?
Although Li Siyu was confused, he did not refuse. He followed Gao Yuan into the house and then went to the private room on the second floor.
It was right at the time of dinner and there were quite a few people.
After entering the private room, Gao Yuan poured her a glass of boiled water and sat across from her.
"Thank you." Li Siyu did not drink, but was very interested in the exchange meeting he just mentioned.
Gao Yuan knew she was interested and said: "The exchange meeting is between our secretaries. There are people from various factories in the city. There is one on the weekend at the end of every month.
It’s the exchange of resources between secretaries. There are many defective products in large and small factories, and there are benefits. If you don’t use them all, you can sell them out.”
Is there such an operation?
Li Siyu said that he would pass cigarettes to your boss.
Gao Yuan continued: "There are defective products here, and there are also good ones, but the prices are a little higher, and most of them don't require tickets. You can sell whatever you want, and you can."
"This is really good. To be honest, I just came to work and I don't have many bills. It's very inconvenient to buy things." Li Siyu nodded and expressed that he wanted to go and asked for help!
Gao Yuan took a sip of water with a smile and continued: "This is internal digestion. There are certain risks in going to the black market. Selling to relatives and friends cannot raise the price. This exchange meeting does not need to take these issues into consideration."
Indeed, just like their factories with many benefits, if the benefits you receive at the end of the month include defective products, and if you sell them to friends for a high price, people will say you are evil-hearted.
It’s not easy for family members to ask for too much money, so good welfare is just for the benefit of others.
And it's also very emotionally hurtful. It's different at exchange meetings. You can ask for whatever price you want, and people will buy it if they think it's suitable. If it doesn't, they won't buy it.
