Chapter 120 Refusing the Reward
Perhaps because he was an outsider, Yi Zhonghai did not notice the abnormality in Li Qin's expression, eyes, and tone.
However, Jia Dongxu, who had been eating with his head down while secretly observing Li Qin out of the corner of his eye, sensed that something seemed off about Li Qin.
However, when he tried to recall exactly what was wrong, Jia Dongxu couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Uncle, Brother Jia, please enjoy your meal. I'll be going now."
Li Qin had only ordered two dishes and a steamed bun. Since he had arrived early, he hadn't forgotten to eat while Yi Zhonghai was speaking.
Therefore, they finished eating very quickly.
Although Yi Zhonghai wanted to keep Li Qin talking, he couldn't find an excuse, so he could only nod helplessly.
Jia Dongxu nodded in agreement.
Li Qin smiled slightly upon seeing this, then took his empty lunchbox and left.
After leaving the cafeteria, Li Qin took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and casually used a cleaning spell on the lunchbox in his hand.
The lunchbox and chopsticks were instantly cleaned.
Li Qin then returned to the third purchasing team with his lunchbox.
There weren't many people in the three groups at this time; they must have all gone to eat.
Seeing this, Li Qin went straight to his workstation.
This is a spot near the window, which not only provides good lighting but also offers a view outside.
It's a pretty good location.
This was of course arranged for him by Wang Dawei; otherwise, such a good position would not have been available to a newcomer like him.
He casually put the lunchbox into the cabinet.
Li Qin then left the purchasing department again.
He didn't have a fixed goal; he just wandered around the factory.
At that moment, a thought suddenly occurred to him;
The steel rolling mill has not yet completed its expansion, and the purchasing department is still just a department. Once the expansion is completed, the steel rolling mill will be much larger.
The purchasing department should also expand its recruitment at that time.
After all, the procurement department is responsible for the livelihoods of thousands of people in the steel mill, and even the people in the surrounding area.
The current manpower is definitely not enough.
At that time, the Purchasing Section will likely become the Purchasing Office, and Groups One, Two, and Three may become Sections One, Two, and Three.
Of course, these are all just Li Qin's guesses, and it's hard to say how things will actually develop in the end.
Before he knew it, Li Qin arrived at the building where the leader's office was located.
He checked the time and guessed that Li Huaide should have already finished eating and returned.
They then went directly to the door of Li Huaide's office.
"Uncle Li!"
When Li Qin arrived at the office door, he saw that there was no one else inside except Li Huaide. He didn't stand on ceremony and didn't even wait for Li Huaide to speak.
He went straight into the office.
Seeing this, Li Huaide showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever; in fact, a smile even appeared on his face.
"Have you rested well?"
Li Huai asked casually.
He thought Li Qin had only just woken up.
"I've rested well, and I even ate at the cafeteria earlier."
I must say, the food cooked in the cafeteria is actually quite good; it's much better than what I used to eat.
Li Qin was referring, of course, to what the original owner of this body had eaten.
While speaking, Li Qin had no concept of politeness and took out a box of tea from Li Huaide's cabinet to brew himself a cup.
As for Li Huaide, he didn't need it.
Because Li Huaide already had one in front of him.
After brewing the tea, Li Qin sat down opposite Li Huaide with his teacup in hand.
Then I leisurely took a sip.
Seeing that Li Qin treated him like family, Li Huaide felt no dissatisfaction whatsoever.
Now that it was confirmed that Li Qin was fine, Li Huaide naturally paid even more attention to him.
Just then, Li Huaide suddenly took an envelope out of the drawer;
"Your wild boar was weighed last night. It weighed 279 jin (184.5 catties), at 85 cents per jin, for a total of 237.15 yuan."
To round it up, I'll give you two hundred and forty yuan. Count it yourself.
Li Qin casually put the envelope into his pocket;
"What's the point of counting? Do you think I, Uncle Li, don't believe you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Huaide immediately smiled.
However, Li Huaide then produced an even larger and thicker envelope:
"Besides your wild boar, the rest is a total of 3,988 catties of meat, which, according to the agreed price, is 3,389.8 yuan."
Rounding it up again, it's three thousand three hundred and ninety yuan.
As he spoke, Li Huaide pushed the envelope in front of Li Qin;
"Take some time to deliver this money to those people, lest things get complicated."
This amount of money is not a small sum. If any problems arise, it won't be something that can be resolved simply by paying compensation.
Li Huaide's reminder was entirely out of good intentions.
Li Qin knew, so he nodded seriously.
Li Huaide was unaware that all the money actually belonged to Li Qin.
However, in order to make things work out, Li Qin still needs to take some time to go to the countryside once.
Just when Li Qin thought the matter was over, Li Huaide spoke up again.
"You deserve a lot of credit for this employee benefits matter. Someone mentioned giving you a reward during the meeting this morning, but I declined."
As he said this, Li Huaide stared intently at Li Qin.
I wanted to see how the other person would react when they heard that.
I thought that Li Qin would show an expectant, happy, and joyful expression when he heard about the reward;
After hearing their rejection, they will show expressions of dissatisfaction, anger, and disappointment.
But to his surprise, Li Qin's expression remained quite calm throughout, with no change in his eyes or expression.
Even the hand holding the teacup didn't tremble at all.
It was as if they hadn't heard anything.
This made Li Huaide very curious;
Aren't you angry?
At this moment, Li Qin took a sip of tea with a smile on his face, and then slowly said:
"Why should I be angry? Since Uncle Li did this, I believe there must be a reason."
After saying this, Li Qin paused briefly, then spoke again;
"Although I haven't known Uncle Li for long, I'm certain from our interactions that he's the kind of person who would never let his own people suffer a loss."
Uncle Li's decision to reject the proposal indicates that he must have other ideas in mind, although we don't know exactly what they are.
But I believe Uncle Li wouldn't harm me.
Li Qin's words can be said to be a mixture of truth and falsehood.
Whether in the past or present, he has never been very familiar with the rules within the system.
Therefore, they are unclear about the ins and outs of the matter.
But Li Huaide was different.
This person has been deeply involved in the system for several years, and also has a father-in-law in a high position who provides guidance.
He definitely knows the rules of the system better than he does.
Therefore, it's best to leave the matter to Li Huaide to handle, which will avoid a lot of trouble.
Besides that, it was Li Qin's observation over this period of time, coupled with his understanding of Li Huaide through the plot, that led to this understanding.
He knew very well that Li Huaide treated his own people quite well.
Especially trusted confidants and close associates.
Now, on the surface, he is Li Huaide's distant nephew, a relationship that inherently links the two together.
Given that he had just helped Li Huaide, Li Qin didn't think the other party would harm him.
