Chapter 288 Yuan Zhi, Devastated
When Yuan Zhi saw Li Qin, a bitter look flashed in his eyes, and his heart was filled with shame.
When Li Qin was mentoring him, he was completely dedicated. He even helped him open up procurement channels in some villages.
In addition, they also purchased some items during those days:
At that time, Yuan Zhi had a misconception that the job of a purchasing agent was not difficult.
It's even a bit simple.
He even fantasized that he could do what Li Qin could do.
But when he actually started purchasing independently, he realized how wrong he had been.
At first, he went to the villages that Li Qin had already taken him to and was familiar with.
Because of Li Qin's initial introduction, and because Yuan Zhi remembered Li Qin's advice:
Not only are they good at handling things, but they also offer very reasonable prices when purchasing supplies, so they were able to procure some items.
But after making purchases in these familiar villages, when Yuan Zhi went to a new village, he immediately felt that he could hardly move an inch.
Even though he was very good at handling things, and even though he guaranteed that the villagers wouldn't be taken advantage of when purchasing, the price was still reasonable.
However, the results were still not very good.
Even when there are some gains, they are not many.
The more villages Yuan Zhi visited, the more he felt the difficulty of procurement.
Only then did he realize how shallow he had been.
More than half a month has passed, and the supplies he has purchased are not even a third of the required amount.
Yuan Zhi naturally felt immense pressure.
At the same time, some delusions were also shattered by reality.
Li Qin waved to Yuan Zhi, indicating that he should not stand on ceremony and should sit down to talk.
However, Yuan Zhi insisted on sitting down only after Li Qin had sat down.
After being tempered by reality, Yuan Zhi understood even more the kindness Li Qin had shown him back then.
She felt increasingly grateful to Li Qin.
Although Li Qin himself was not one to be overly concerned with formalities, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Yuan Zhi's actions.
After all, the help he gave Yuan Zhi back then was genuine.
It is gratifying that Yuan Zhineng has a grateful heart.
No one wants to be ungrateful for someone they've helped.
How's work lately? Is everything going smoothly?
After Yuan Zhi sat down, Li Qin immediately asked.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi's face immediately showed a bitter expression again.
He didn't speak, he just shook his head.
Although he didn't say anything, his actions and expressions made everything very clear.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin immediately knew that Yuan Zhi's procurement work was probably not going smoothly.
After a brief silence, Li Qin spoke again.
"You've just started working as a purchasing agent, and you haven't opened up many of your relationships yet, so it's normal to find it difficult at first."
Be patient, don't rush, things will get better and better.
Li Qin looked at the boy in front of him; if this were in modern society, he would still be a high school student.
I couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort.
Upon hearing his words, Yuan Zhi's expression softened slightly.
At this moment, Li Qin spoke again and asked:
"So, how's your purchasing target going this month?"
Yuan Zhi first sighed, then said helplessly:
"We've only completed less than a third of the target so far. It seems unrealistic to expect us to meet this month's procurement quota," Yuan Zhi thought dejectedly.
He thought he was going to show off his skills, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson by reality in the end.
Li Qin gave Yuan Zhi a deep look and realized that the other party did not mean anything by saying those words.
This surprised Li Qin.
He initially thought that Yuan Zhi's purpose in saying this was to ask him for help in completing the task, just like his other colleagues.
But now it seems that Yuan Zhi doesn't have that intention.
Li Qin, however, was unaware of this.
Yuan Zhi was a newcomer, and apart from Wang Dawei, he was only slightly familiar with Li Qin in the purchasing department.
In addition, most of my colleagues are working on the ground.
Therefore, he rarely interacts with others.
Therefore, the other colleagues naturally wouldn't tell Yuan Zhi that Li Qin could help with purchasing supplies.
Of course, there may be other colleagues with their own selfish motives as well.
For example, having one more person would affect the amount of supplies they could get from Li Qin.
This, in turn, affects their ability to complete tasks.
Seeing Yuan Zhi's worried expression, Li Qin thought for a moment and then spoke up:
"I can get some meat and eggs through some channels. Just let me know if you need any help."
Since he had already helped many colleagues, Li Qin didn't mind helping one more.
Li Qin had some appreciation for Yuan Zhi, this young man.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a glimmer of hope immediately appeared in Yuan Zhi's eyes:
The amount of salary a purchasing agent receives at the end of the month is directly related to how well they complete their tasks for the month.
Especially now that Yuan Zhi hasn't been officially hired yet, his salary is only a little over half of that of a regular purchasing agent, and if another portion is deducted...
Even fewer will be available by then.
If it were just Yuan Zhi alone, he could certainly tolerate it.
However, he also has an elderly grandmother at home who needs to be taken care of.
If their wages are low, they will have a very hard time.
Yuan Zhi is a filial child. He can accept living a hard life himself, but he doesn't want his grandmother to suffer as well.
Based on this, Yuan Zhi had already decided not to trouble Li Qin any further.
But after hearing Li Qin's words, Yuan Zhi thought for a moment and finally nodded, saying:
"Thank you, Brother Li. I do need your help."
Li Qin nodded casually at first, then continued, "Please give me a list of the quantities and types of supplies you need. It should be ready in about three days."
I'll take you to pick up the supplies then. As for the money for the supplies, you can pay me back after you receive the payment.
Nowadays, many colleagues are even willing to give Li Qin advance the purchase funds so that he can help them purchase supplies.
This way, we can ensure that there are no problems with the supplies we need.
Li Qin did not refuse.
He knew that only by accepting the deposits from his colleagues could they feel at ease.
However, Yuan Zhi's family was not well-off, and Li Qin trusted Yuan Zhi's character.
Therefore, Li Qin did not mention the deposit, but instead allowed Yuan Zhi to give him the money after receiving the purchase payment.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a gleam of joy flashed in Yuan Zhi's eyes.
The look of distress on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of delight.
Yuan Zhi looked at Li Qin with a face full of surprise, then said to Li Qin with eyes full of gratitude:
"Thank you so much, Brother Li! Thank you so much!"
For Yuan Zhi, Li Qin's actions were a godsend.
For purchasing staff like Yuan Zhi, who haven't yet been officially hired, whether they can complete their monthly purchasing tasks is not only related to their end-of-month salary.
Most importantly, it also relates to his future promotion to a permanent position.
