Shi Tao was transferred to the office to be mainly responsible for vehicles, canteens, and guards, as well as personnel, salary, files, documents, and related desk work for drafting.

Usually I only go out occasionally, and I don't travel as often as I do when I am supplied.

The supply job was replaced by Nanping, and the two of them had a period of work handover.

Nanping, a young man a few years younger than Shi Tao, is medium-sized, with short hair, a red nose, and a slow and coherent speech, but it gives people an honest and reliable impression.

However, he is also slow to do things, and is often criticized by leaders and workers for not purchasing materials in a timely manner.

This also made Nanping very distressed, and often complained to Shi Tao and learned from him how to purchase goods in time.

Supply procurement was supposed to be a relatively simple business, with money in one hand and goods in one hand.

During the period of Shi Tao's management and supply, the company's construction funds were relatively sufficient, and the contradiction of fund shortage had not yet been highlighted.

With the progress of construction, the stall is getting bigger and bigger, the debts are increasing, the head office is already very difficult to fund, and the support for the westward migration company is getting smaller and smaller. This makes it difficult for the westward migration company to pay for the goods.

As a supply business, it costs money in itself, and it is inevitably becoming more and more difficult to do in the case of a shortage of funds.

It was at this stall that Shi Tao left the supply and threw the ball to Nanping.

Nanping has never done supply procurement, he is a novice, and he has caught up with such a situation, he is a stranger in the local area, and he is not allowed to take the money to buy goods, which is indeed a bit embarrassing for him.

After all, Shi Tao has been here for a while, and he is relatively familiar with the supplier.

In order to let Nanping adapt as soon as possible and make his work easier, Zhen Youcai asked Shi Tao to take Nanping to familiarize himself with the supplier, which is conducive to the future procurement work.

So Shi Tao led Nanping to Shanbei City to meet with various suppliers and introduce them to each other.

Nanping has also purchased materials a few times and has been in contact with one or two of these suppliers. When it was learned that Shi Tao was no longer dry, one of the suppliers planned to entertain them.

Originally, Shi Tao didn't plan to go to this meal, but considering the smooth development of Nanping's future work, he decided to go anyway.

Nanping didn't want to go, he was afraid that the leaders would accuse him and make irresponsible remarks about him when they found out. He told Shi Tao about this idea.

"You said that a merchant invited us to dinner, should we go or not? Go, as if there was some shady business between us. If you don't want to go, people sincerely invite, and you will have to deal with it in the future, I always feel that it is not to give face. Let me be in a dilemma, you can give me an idea. ”

"As long as it's not too much, it's not a big meal every day, a ceremonial banquet still has to be attended. If you want to say that there seems to be some shady collusion between you, then let me ask you, is there any collusion between you?" Shi Tao intends to enlighten Nanping.

"Of course not!" Nanping was sure.

"That's the end of it. Since you don't, what are you afraid of? If you don't go, it will seem that you are not close to people, and people will feel bad to deal with, which will make the supplier have a sense of distance from you, and it will be a bad colleague in the future. Shi Tao told Nanping about his experience.

"Then let's go!" Nanping heard Shi Tao say this, and he figured it out.

There is always a drink to be prepared during the banquet, and this boss Zhang didn't drink much, but he took the initiative to drink a little out of etiquette.

Nanping excused himself and said that he didn't drink much, so don't drink it.

Seeing this situation, Shi Tao found that Nanping was not very mature, so he enlightened him again.

"You're in this position, and you're going to have a lot of drinking occasions in the future. People treat you as a host or guest, and if you don't drink, you'll ruin their fun. If anyone else was present, the interest of the people at the table would be gone. This is very impolite. ”

Nanping heard it and felt that it was the same thing.

"Then let me ask you, don't you drink any alcohol at all, are you allergic to alcohol?" Shi Tao asked Nanping.

"Drink a little occasionally, but I am not allergic to alcohol, but I dare not serve it with limited alcohol. Nanping told the reason why he didn't drink.

"If you're not allergic to alcohol, and you've not drunk it, then you should drink it. It doesn't matter if you drink a small amount of alcohol, practice slowly, as long as you don't get drunk every time, the amount of alcohol will slowly grow. ”

Under Shi Tao's persuasion, Nanping agreed to drink. He took Shi Tao's seniors and believed in his words, so he did what Shi Tao said.

In this way, at Shi Tao's suggestion, a table of people drank wine in a happy atmosphere, of course, they didn't drink too much, and the whole dining process seemed very pleasant.

Even Shi Tao didn't expect that it was this opportunity to eat together that made the supplier closer to Nanping.

In terms of material procurement in the future, Boss Xiao Zhang provided great help to Nanping and made Nanping's work much easier. However, this also caused the young boss to break through the south wall in order to collect accounts.

Nanping did it according to Shi Tao's guidance. In the future, I will work hard to practice my drinking, and I feel that I am good at drinking.

One night, Shi Tao went to the toilet to relieve himself, and heard an uncomfortable sound in the squatting compartment, like Nanping, so he asked through the door, "What's wrong?" Are you sick?"

"Oh! I'm not sick, I've drunk too much and I'm throwing up. It's uncomfortable in my stomach at this time!" Nanping also heard that Shi Tao was concerned about him.

"How much alcohol can you drink, and can you still drink spit?" Shi Tao could hardly imagine that Nanping would drink a lot of wine.

"Oh, Brother Shi, I said I didn't drink it, but you let me drink it, and I listened to you. Don't underestimate me, I couldn't drink half a tael before, but now I can drink half a catty. Nanping felt that the increase in his alcohol volume was due to Shi Tao's encouragement.

"Oh, I didn't think you'd drink so fast! Wine is not something that can grow all at once, you have to take it slowly, otherwise it will spoil your stomach. ”

Shi Tao warned Nanping not to drink too much for the sake of a long amount of alcohol.

"Yes, I thought half a catty was fine today, but I suddenly exceeded half a catty, and I ended up drinking too much. ”

"How is this going? Shall I get you some water, or will I find you some medicine?" Shi Tao was very worried about Nanping.

"No, it's much better. I've been squatting here for half an hour, and I'm almost throwing up, and I don't have anything to vomit. It's just that I'm weak at this moment, so I'll go back and rest later. You don't have to worry about it. ”

"Okay, go back and rest in a while, drink some water, go to bed early, then I'll go. Shi Tao went back to the dormitory.

After staying for about ten minutes, Shi Tao went to Nanping's dormitory, but did not see Nanping, and quickly returned to the toilet and knocked on the compartment door.

"Hey, are you still in there?"

"I'm still here!" Nanping's voice came from behind the door.

"Hurry up and open the door, and I'll help you back to the dormitory." Shi Tao was worried that something would happen to Nanping.

The door finally opened, and Nanping stood up with difficulty, it seemed that he had been squatting for too long, and his legs were numb.

Shi Tao carried him back to the dormitory. Nan Ping fell on the bed with a bang, as if he had fallen apart. Shi Tao covered him with a quilt and poured another glass of water for him to drink.

"Sleep, just get some sleep. After that, Shi Tao turned back to his dormitory workers and said, "Look at him, let me know if there is anything." The dormitory worker agreed. Shi Tao arranged for Nanping to return to the dormitory.

When he saw Nanping the next day, Shi Tao was relieved to see that he had returned to normal.

One day near noon, Hu You came to the office to find Shi Tao with a sigh, looking very anxious, waving his right hand, almost saying a word, "You put down the work at hand, hurry up to the provincial capital, go there to contact Nanping, hurry up and transport the steel back, the company is in a hurry." ”

Hu You is slightly chubby, with a short figure, a white skin, and likes to gesture when he speaks.

Shi Tao put down the document and listened confused.

"Isn't Nanping in the provincial capital? What else am I going to do?"

"He's been there for three days, he's not stupid! He hasn't ordered the goods yet, and he's been waiting on the construction site for three days. You hurry up and take a look, help him get it, no one will help him and he doesn't know how long he will have to wait. Everyone who works here is in a hurry. ”

"Oh, oh, I see, you mean that I will help him transport the steel back, is that what you mean?" Shi Tao wanted to find out the purpose of his trip.

"Yes, that's it, the sooner the better. The tickets have been bought for you, and the company has also sent a car, waiting for you downstairs, go now, and take the train to Shanbei City immediately. Saying that, Hu You took out the train ticket and handed it to Shi Tao.

Shi Tao took it and took a look, there were still two hours to drive, and he had to set off now, otherwise it would be late. "Alright, I'll go. ”

Fortunately, I still have some money on me, so I don't have to borrow money financially. Shi Tao came to the door downstairs, and there was already a vehicle waiting.

In an hour and a half, Shi Tao rushed to Shanbei Railway Station, and after boarding the train to the north, Shi Tao began to call Nanping.

"I understand the general situation, there are a few details that I don't know very well, let me ask you a few questions. First, have you found the source of goods?"

"Most of them were found, and a small number were not found. Nanping replied on the phone.

"You don't have all the supplies, what am I going to pull?" Shi Tao didn't understand, why he couldn't find all the supplies after so many days.

"Ah, the rest can be purchased in Shanbei City, it's not that there is nothing in the provincial capital, but I didn't order it. Nanping said.

"Well, let me ask you the second question, is the payment secured? That is, can you pay at any time?"

In fact, this is Shi Tao's biggest concern, no matter what economic situation you buy from the seller, they won't sell it to you if they don't give money, especially in the provincial capital.

"I haven't sent me any money yet. Nanping said.

"I didn't send you money, you bought it with your fart! Now quickly contact the company and ask them to pay you today." You receive the money today, and tomorrow we can load the truck to bring the goods back, otherwise it will be useless for me to go. Shi Tao was a little anxious when he heard this.

"Okay, I'll get in touch in a moment. Nanping agreed.

"Let me ask you one last question, have you contacted the vehicle that pulled the goods?"

"Not yet, it's useless to contact the goods before they are ordered, and I don't know who to contact. Nanping said.

"This is also, your supply is uncertain, the payment is uncertain, when you pull the goods will definitely not be determined, and this car is also difficult to decide. In this way, you will first implement the payment issue, and then we will talk about it in detail when we arrive. ”

Shi Tao is really worried about Nanping's business ability, many key things can't be implemented, how can he pull back the goods?
