The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 84 Returning to Li Huaide's Office

Master Sun has renovated countless houses and met countless people.

There are quite a few oddballs too.

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, one could tell that the situation of this courtyard house was somewhat complicated.

However, he is not worried about it.

After all, when they come to work, it's not just one person, but several, or even a dozen.

They're all grown men; most people wouldn't dare mess with them.

Especially after receiving the renovation permit from the street office provided by Li Qin, there was even less to worry about.

In fact, Li Qin was taking precautions to prevent problems from arising.

Although Jia Dongxu hasn't sent it yet, Yi Zhonghai's retirement plan, which he was worried about, has been settled, and many people and things are not as outrageous as they were later.

However, Li Qin did not believe in the true nature of these people.

If no one causes trouble, that would be best. But if someone does, he wouldn't mind showing his skills.

After the matter was settled, Li Qin and Master Sun left the backyard.

Before leaving, Mr. Sun locked both rooms again.

After seeing Master Sun off from the courtyard, Li Qin suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about the labor protection supplies he had received from the Labor and Personnel Department in Li Huaide's office.

Li Qin glanced at the time and realized that there was still about an hour before the steel rolling mill closed.

Therefore, instead of returning to the main building, he headed back towards the steel rolling mill.

In addition to retrieving the labor protection supplies, we also handed over the files we retrieved from the street office to the archives department of the steel rolling mill.

Having resolved his long-standing concerns about work and housing, Li Qin was in a very good mood.

Therefore, even their walking steps seem very cheerful.

A faint smile remained on his face.

The speed has improved.

This time, it took Li Qin less than half an hour to arrive at the steel rolling mill again.

Having already completed the onboarding process, Li Qin now possesses an employee ID card.

Although he wasn't wearing a factory uniform, Li Qin was able to enter the steel rolling mill smoothly after showing his employee ID to the security guard at the gate.

He first went to the archives department to file the documents, and then came to Li Huaide's office again.

With less than half an hour left before the end of the workday, Li Huaide was still in the office, but he didn't have any important business to attend to.

He was sitting at his desk, drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

Upon seeing Li Qin, he immediately put down what he was holding;

"Xiao Qin, is everything settled regarding the house? Have you encountered any problems? Do you need any help?"

Li Qin smiled at this moment, then shook his head;

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Li. The house has been taken care of. I've also contacted the construction team from the neighborhood committee to help tidy up the house."

Li Huaide wasn't the kind of person who didn't know about civil affairs and people's livelihoods, so he naturally knew that the rooms in the tenement, especially those that hadn't been lived in for a long time, must have some serious problems.

If it is not dealt with, although it is still habitable, it will be very inconvenient.

It's perfectly normal for Li Qin to tidy up the house before moving in.

At this moment, Li Huaide spoke again with concern;

"Renovating the house will definitely cost money. Do you have enough money on you? If not, let me know and I'll get you some more."

Although Li Huaide was greedy for money, he valued talent even more.

Especially talented people like Li Qin, who can bring him great benefits.

He was still very willing to spend money to win over Li Qin.

Li Qin shook his head again at this moment;

"No need, Uncle Li. You gave me the money to buy the house, and I still have plenty of money on me. It's enough to do a simple tidying up of the house."

Li Huaide also knew that Li Qin's friend must have given a lot of money.

So he didn't insist.

"Uncle Li, I've come here to pick up some work safety supplies, and also to discuss something with you beforehand."

Li Qin's expression changed, and his face became serious.

Li Huaide immediately knew that this was about to get down to business, so he nodded.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Here's the thing, I plan to go to several surrounding counties and townships tomorrow to contact those hunters and discuss the wild boar issue, so I might need you to give me a certificate then, Uncle Li."

If he were to act in secret, Li Qin could use his Phantom Shift ability to go anywhere he could without anyone noticing.

But this time he wanted to openly and legitimately visit the areas surrounding Beijing.

Therefore, a certificate issued by the steel rolling mill is required.

During this special period, in order to guard against enemy agents and for other reasons, people mainly leave their place of residence.

Then proof is needed.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make any progress.

Without it, even if Li Qin left Beijing, he would likely be arrested by the local militia as a suspicious person.

Li Huaide knew this was a serious matter, so he nodded immediately without saying a word.

"No problem, you can just come to me tomorrow when you go to work to get the certificate."

After saying this, Li Huaide paused briefly before speaking again:

"You definitely can't rely on walking to get to the countryside. I'll prepare another bicycle for you tomorrow. It won't be brand new, but it'll be perfectly fine for getting around."

Although there are still some old bicycles in the logistics department, it doesn't mean that all the logistics staff can get one.

Even now, many purchasing staff in the purchasing department still rely entirely on walking when they go to the countryside to make purchases.

If the other purchasing staff knew that Li Qin was being given a bicycle right now, they would be incredibly envious.

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

Li Qin thanked him with a smile.

Although after leaving Beijing, he could freely use teleportation in deserted areas, which was not only convenient but also very efficient.

However, there are still some hidden dangers.

With the bicycle as cover, things become much easier.

Moreover, this trip to the countryside also allowed him to make an appearance in some of the surrounding villages, which can be seen as preparation for his future trips to the countryside.

Li Qin could indeed complete the steel rolling mill's procurement tasks entirely through the planting space.

However, he still needs to go to the countryside from time to time. How much he can buy is secondary; the main thing is to prevent people from suspecting the origin of the things he hands over.

Li Qin thought the matter was over, but he did not expect Li Huaide's expression to turn serious at this moment.

"Xiao Qin, since you've chosen to be a purchasing agent, there are some things I need to remind you of in advance."

Whether you go to the countryside tomorrow or in the future to purchase goods, you must pay special attention to one thing: your own safety.

Since I took over the logistics of the steel rolling mill, there have been many instances where purchasing staff have been robbed by strangers while making purchases in rural areas.

If it were just robbery, that would be one thing, but worse, they might injure or maim the purchasing staff, and in the case of a vicious individual, they could even be killed.

Li Huaide's expression didn't look too good when he said this.

The purchasing department is under the jurisdiction of the logistics department, and he is the leader of the logistics department. If something happens to someone in the purchasing department, he, as the leader, will naturally have to take responsibility.

It would be one thing if the purchasing staff were only robbed of their money or injured.

If disability or even injury occurs, the situation becomes very difficult to handle.

In order to resolve this matter, Li Huaide also came up with some solutions.

This ensured a certain level of safety for purchasing agents who went to rural areas to make purchases.
