Chapter 105

Who would have thought that Li Huaide, this old fox, would play hard to get and move out of the courtyard directly.

This made Ye Xiaoning angry and a little regretful.

Because she had never considered divorcing Li Huaide.

In this situation, Li Huaide is having fun outside, but she is the one who has to stay alone in the empty room and is very depressed.

Fortunately, Qin Huairu was there to keep her company and listen to her talk every night, otherwise she would probably have been depressed during this period.

"What do you mean by vitamin protein? Besides, with you here, I don't need to go to the hospital for treatment. Can't you just press it for me?"

Ye Xiaoning didn't understand.

Nowadays, people only care about the appearance, aroma and taste of food. No one cares about the nutritional content. They have never heard of words like vitamins and proteins.

Li Jiandong also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and corrected himself, "Just eat more green leafy vegetables and eggs and lean meat. Also, the lobular hyperplasia is here. Even if you want me to help you press it, I still have to ask my wife if she agrees."

Li Jiandong pointed at his chest and Ye Xiaoning blushed immediately.

Qin Huairu was teased by her just now, and now Li Jiandong helped him win back a game, and immediately smiled and said: "I have no problem, Xiaoning, if you think it's troublesome to go to the hospital, just let Brother Jiandong help you, it's okay."

Qin Huairu said this deliberately because she felt that Ye Xiaoning would be embarrassed to agree.

Who knew that Ye Xiaoning was also stubborn? She was obviously very embarrassed, but she said unconvincedly: "Then I have to thank you two. Otherwise, Jiandong, can you come to my house tonight and give me a massage?"

Li Jiandong knew that the two of them were just being stubborn, and he was the only one who could break the deadlock.

Then he coughed and said:
"Forget it. I'm a male doctor and I'm not very good at this."

"cut."

Ye Xiaoning snorted complacently, but he was actually extremely nervous.

Due to health reasons, she hasn't had sex with Li Huaide for more than ten years.

Of course, this kind of topic is avoided as much as possible. Although it was just a verbal flirtation today, it still made her feel very excited.

"Old Li, you're finally back. I missed you so much."

At this time, He Daqing came back from outside pushing his bicycle.

"Daqing, I haven't seen you for a while. You look darker again."

Li Jiandong was in a good mood when he saw his old friend He Daqing.

He Daqing looked down at his arms and grinned, "That's right. I've been hosting a lot of banquets recently, so I'm cooking outdoors in the sun. By the way, have you eaten? If not, wait for me for a while. Come to my house tonight and I'll welcome you."

Before Li Jiandong could say anything, another voice came from the front yard.

"Lao He, count me in too. I'll bring some wine."

"Hey, Old Yan, you have a plan. Okay, you bring some wine, right? Old Li and I won't go home until we're drunk tonight. We need at least three bottles of liquor. Go buy some first."

He Daqing added, "By the way, you don't have to buy the best ones. The girl's red wine in our tavern is pretty good. You have to buy the kind that costs 6 cents a pound. Don't buy the wrong one."

6 cents per pound, three pounds is yuan.

Yan Bugui originally thought that he could just bring the half bottle of Erguotou left at home. Although the wine was cheap, it was quite delicious. He didn't expect He Daqing to directly ask for Nv'erhong, and even asked for three bottles at once, which was three kilograms.

Isn’t this a loss for Yan Bugui?
"No, Lao He, your wife is the shopkeeper of the tavern. Asking me to buy wine is like stealing the show."

Yan Bugui spoke hesitantly, as if he had forgotten that he was the one who took the initiative to buy wine.

He Daqing smiled and said:
"Old Yan, what you said is not right. You clearly said to bring wine. Besides, although my Huizhen is the second in command of the tavern, the wine in the tavern belongs to the entire hospital. My Huizhen's words don't count."

Ye Xiaoning also joked beside him:

"Uncle, you are not reluctant to part with it, are you? Master He's cooking skills are worth more than two or three dollars. I think it's worth it even if it's just for a plate of fried peanuts."

Having lived in this courtyard for so long, Ye Xiaoning has become familiar with the people in the courtyard.

She would always say a few bad words to this stingy but vindictive uncle whenever she had the chance, and would feel a great sense of accomplishment if she could force him to pay money.

Yan Bugui felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and could only say:
"Three pounds is three pounds, but I have to make it clear that you can't waste it."

"Look at what you're saying. Wine won't go bad if you don't finish it. Go buy some. I'll go buy some groceries first."

He Daqing didn't even sit down, he pushed his bicycle and went to buy groceries.

Yan Bugui had no choice but to go to the tavern to get some wine.

After a while, everyone else in the yard came back.

Liu Haizhong and Xu Fugui entered the compound one after the other. When they saw Li Jiandong, Liu Haizhong stopped his bicycle and greeted him very solemnly.

"Uncle, you are finally back. I have important information to report to you."

When Liu Haizhong was speaking, he deliberately glanced at Ye Xiaoning. Li Jiandong immediately understood what important situation he was talking about.

Nodding to him: "We'll talk about work tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll report to you in your office tomorrow."

Xu Fugui followed closely.

He was pushing the department's bicycle with a large box containing a projector tied to the back seat. Li Huaide had previously said he would transfer him to the workshop, but apparently he failed to do so.

After all, he was the only projectionist in the steel mill, and the leaders were not on the same page as Li Huaide.

"Old Li, I heard that your electric car research was successful. To celebrate, I will show a movie tonight for free to our theater. Everyone should come out early after dinner to help hang the curtain."

Xu Fugui's words caused cheers, and in order not to miss the movie, the women hurried home to cook.

People from other theaters were envious when they knew that Theater 40 was showing movies.
The people in this theater eat well, dress well, and there is a projectionist who shows movies in the theater for free. What a fairy-tale life this is.

The days passed one by one, and in the blink of an eye it was September.

The autumn breeze brings coolness, and the hot days are finally over.

Although Nanluoguxiang does not have as many large shops as the neighboring Dazhalan and Qianmen streets, it also has some small stores. The superiors mean that cooperation cannot be forced, and encouragement, rewards and persuasion should be the main approach.

At the same time, tasks were also issued to the streets, requiring them to complete a certain number of win-win conversions in stores before the New Year.

The task had to be completed without compulsory enforcement, which put the street in a difficult position. The staff had nothing to do every day and went from street to street to persuade merchants to cooperate.

But these days, as long as you have something to sell, you won't have to worry about selling it. Opening a shop means making a steady stream of money. Small businessmen are making good money, and if they are suddenly asked to let the government have a share, how can they be happy?
So the win-win situation did not go smoothly.
That morning, just as Li Jiandong was about to go to the steel rolling mill, he saw the street official Guo walking in from outside the yard.

Seeing Li Jiandong, Secretary Guo forced a smile on his haggard face: "Director Li, you are going to the steel mill, right? I rushed to catch up with you. Can you give me a few minutes to talk to me?"

Li Jiandong had already guessed that it should be about Heying.

Although the tavern is a collective asset and different from a private shop, it is also not public property.

At the beginning, the street probably didn't understand the definition of a tavern, so it didn't plan to allow the tavern to participate in a win-win situation.

However, now that the public-private partnership is not going smoothly, in order to complete the task, we can only focus on the tavern that we had not taken seriously before.

Li Jiandong nodded and asked:
"Is it about the tavern?"

Secretary Guo smiled bitterly and said, "Director Li, you are right. It is really about the tavern. You are a senior leader and you should know that Heying is the intention of the higher-ups. Our street is just doing things according to the leaders' requirements, so you see..."

Li Jiandong feels sorry for these people who work there. They do the most tiring work, endure the most anger, and yet they never get any benefits.

Seeing Secretary Guo's embarrassed look, he must have been scolded many times for persuading small merchants to win together, and he doesn't even have the confidence to speak.

However, this is normal, after all, Heying is robbing small merchants of their money.

Li Jiandong was not in a position to comment on the pros and cons of Heying. The wheel of the times was not something that a director of the political department like him could resist.

Since there is a correct policy from above, he can only choose to obey it actively or passively.

Knowing that there would be a comprehensive win-win situation in two years, Li Jiandong would of course choose to be more proactive.

"Secretary Guo, you don't have to say anything. I will hold a meeting for the hospital this weekend and try my best to convince them to support our street's win-win situation."

Secretary Guo ran around for several days and finally found someone who was willing to agree to a win-win situation.

At this moment, he cried with joy, his mouth trembled, and tears could not help but flow down: "Director Li, thank you so much for your support."

"Alright, alright, why are you crying about such a small thing? Just go to the next store. I'm almost late and I have to go to work."

"Okay, Director Li, you go ahead and do your work. Thank you."

Secretary Guo thanked them repeatedly, thinking that it was worthy of being an advanced compound for several consecutive years.

Li Jiandong came to the steel rolling mill and called Liu Haizhong and others together during lunch.

The problems in the tavern may seem simple, but if they are not handled properly they can easily cause big problems.

After all, many residents in the courtyard rely on the dividends from the tavern to improve their lives. Once the joint venture wins, their dividends will be directly reduced to one-fourth. By then, public funds will definitely be cancelled, and residents like Li Huilan who need assistance for serious illnesses will also have to be considered.

Therefore, Li Jiandong must consider carefully and listen to other people's opinions first.

This is also the reason why he did not fully agree to Secretary Guo’s request, but instead suggested holding a meeting first.

If the people in the hospital disagree,

Then Li Jiandong can only wait for two years until the comprehensive cooperation is achieved. At that time, it will be mandatory and Li Jiandong will not have to worry about it.

"Director Li, do you have something to tell us?"

Liu Haizhong asked humbly.

When he was in the hospital, he called Li Jiandong "Uncle", but when he got to the factory, of course he changed his address to Director Li.

Including Xu Fugui and others in the factory, they also call Li Jiandong Director Li. Only He Daqing, Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng still call him according to the address they use in the hospital.

Li Jiandong gestured for everyone to sit down first, and then he said, "You should have heard about the recent street cooperation. Today, Director Guo came to me and hoped that our tavern could respond to the street's correct policy. Let me first tell you my views and opinions."

Seeing that everyone was concentrating, Li Jiandong continued:

"As far as I know, this public win-win will be divided into two stages. The first stage is voluntary win-win, and the second stage is comprehensive win-win. It is hard to say when we will enter the second stage, but what I have heard is that the comprehensive win-win in the second stage is mandatory. In other words, even if we don't agree, we can only delay it for a while."

When Li Jiandong said this, Xu Fugui next to him suddenly spoke:
"Director Li, if you say so, why don't we just reject the joint venture? Anyway, we can earn one more day if we can. When we achieve a comprehensive joint venture, we can hand over the tavern."

Liu Haizhong also nodded:

"I think what Lao Xu said is right. Our tavern makes a lot of money every month. After the joint win, our dividends will be reduced by half. Isn't this just stealing money from us?"

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng didn't say anything. They were juniors, and although they were cadres, they could only listen here.

"Old Li, what do you think?"

He Daqing suddenly asked.

The others also looked at Li Jiandong. No matter what their opinions were, Li Jiandong's words carried the most weight here.

“I think what you said is right, but we are an advanced compound, we can’t just look at the benefits, we have to consider other factors.

For example, we had the support of the street when we opened a kindergarten and built a dormitory building, and this was where personal connections played a role.”

“After the joint win, each small shop will have a public representative, who is equivalent to the shopkeeper of a shop. The work is not much, but the income is not low.

Although it is not a permanent job, there is no threshold for entry. It all depends on the arrangement of the street cooperation office. "

“So, my opinion is that we should actively respond to the call of the street. In exchange, we can let the street cooperation office arrange more public representatives for our hospital.

In this way, we can set an example for the street and protect the interests of our hospital as much as possible. What do you think?"

Although the subdistrict office had not contacted Li Jiandong in the past few days, Li Jiandong had already made preparations for Heying.

If the tavern is handed over, the shareholders will definitely receive a significant reduction in dividends.

However, if more public representatives are arranged, then the losses and profits will be mixed.

It's almost the same.

Moreover, after handing over the tavern, Qin Huairu will be able to spend more time with her children. Xiao Xunfu is already two and a half years old, and Li Jiandong has not yet had a second child. In addition to personal reasons, it is also related to the fact that the tavern is too busy.

Moreover, in this way, Li Huilan's problem can also be solved. As long as she is allowed to be a public representative, the money she earns will be enough to pay for her medical treatment and medicine.

"I think what Director Li said is right. There is no good outcome if you go against your leader. I support Director Li's suggestion."

Liu Haizhong was the first to express his opinion. His personality is that whatever the leader says is right and he always follows the leader.

Although, he is one of the major shareholders of the tavern.

If the two sides win together, he, as a major shareholder, will suffer the greatest loss. However, compared with being an official, Liu Haizhong does not care much about that little dividend.

If, I could use this opportunity to get closer to Li Jiandong and the street.

For him, this is definitely much more cost-effective than earning a dozen dollars more every month.

"I also agree with Lao Li's arrangement. The tavern was originally allocated to us by Lao Li. At that time, he was fully capable of opening a tavern on his own.

We have made a lot of money in the past few years. Since the leaders above have spoken, we cannot make things difficult for Lao Li and the street."

He Daqing was the second to make a statement.

"I listen to Master."

"I am the same as my senior brother. We will do whatever the master says."

Jia Dongxu and Yan Jiecheng undoubtedly support Li Jiandong.

Not to mention just giving up the tavern, even if they were asked to give up their cadre status and go back to the workshop and drive a truck, these two brothers would never hesitate.

They firmly believed that Li Jiandong would never harm them.

Secondly, even if we take a step back and say that Li Jiandong really wanted to harm them.

That was just taking away something that was given to them before. They had made a lot of money by using it for such a long time, so why should they complain about it being taken away?
It has to be said that Li Jiandong of these two brothers is still very loyal.

Now only Xu Fugui is left.

Xu Fugui was still reluctant to give up that little bit of dividend.

But he also knew that he was no match for the powerful. Compared with the benefits of the tavern, Li Jiandong could obviously give him more.

After all, when he invested in the tavern, he was a little hesitant and only invested a little bit, not as much as Yan Bugui. The income was only a few dollars a month, so there was no need to have an unpleasant argument with Li Jiandong over this.

So Xu Fugui nodded and said, "I also agree with Director Li's opinion."

"Okay, in that case, let's split up."

Li Jiandong took a deep breath and said:

"After you get off work today, go talk to your family first, and then do your best to persuade the neighbors around you, and tell them the pros and cons of all aspects. Then, I will talk to Director Zheng and try to get the greatest benefit for our hospital."

"Row."

He Daqing nodded.

"Then do as Director Li says."

Liu Haizhong also agreed.

The other people also agreed with Li Jiandong's arrangement. It was almost time for the afternoon work to start, so Li Jiandong asked them to go back and continue working.

Soon it was time to get off work.

After get off work, Li Jiandong did not return to the courtyard, but went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some gifts and went directly to Director Zheng's house.

Director Zheng has also been looking a little haggard lately.

Although he did not have to go to the shops in person, Heying had not been able to move forward, and as the head of the street, he was under a lot of pressure.

When Director Zheng saw Li Jiandong, his eyes lit up and he quickly welcomed him into the house.

"Jiandong, you came to see me today because of the tavern, right? To be honest, I'm really afraid to hear you disagree."

Director Zheng said with a wry smile.

If even Li Jiandong does not support his work, then this win-win situation may not be implemented.

Li Jiandong said:

"Director Zheng, you know more about the win-win situation than we do, and you must know why it is difficult to implement.

However, I personally am very willing to support the work of the streets.

But you also know that this tavern is not mine personally.”

Li Jiandong's expression was very sincere. Indeed, if it was his personal pub, he would have agreed to join the competition by now.

But this is the collective property of the entire hospital, and Li Jiandong cannot have the final say.

"You are right. I believe you are aware of this. So, if you have any difficulties in the courtyard, you can also tell us. The street and I will try our best to meet the needs of the residents in your courtyard."

Director Zheng is also a seasoned veteran, and he understands the meaning of Li Jiandong's words very well.

Since Li Jiandong is not opposed to public-private partnership, the natural issue to be resolved is the interests of the residents.

Other small businesses are also unwilling to cooperate because of their own interests.

However, since Li Jiandong has come, based on Director Zheng's understanding of him, he believes that his requirements must be different from those of other small businesses and should be something that the street can do.
