Chapter 37: Hitting a Wall

Li Yunhai rode a car, drove Lin Zhi out of the courtyard gate, and asked, "Miss Lin, where are we going next?" Where are you going? ”

Lin Zhi raised his slender jade hand and pointed to the left: "Here, I'm going to the unit." ”

"Provincial Workers' Art Troupe?" Li Yunhai said with a smile, "At the intersection of Renmin Road and Shuguang Road? ”

"Huh, how do you know?"

"The art troupe used to be the intersection of Shaoshan Road, where there was a provincial library, and when I was studying, I often went there to borrow books to read."

"Well, there it is."

"It's so late, do you still want to go to the unit? You just started working, are you so busy? ”

"I'm going to rehearse a show, and the troupe is going on tour."

"What time is the rehearsal?"

"It starts at half-past seven, rehearses for an hour and a half, and ends at nine."

"So late, you're coming home alone?"

"If you're worried about me, you can wait for me and send me home. In this way, the interest money owed to me is two cents less. ”

“……”

When he arrived at the art troupe, Li Yunhai parked his bicycle in the courtyard carport and said to Lin Zhi: "I'll go shopping around the neighborhood and wait for you." ”

Lin Zhi pursed his lips lightly and waved his hand at him: "Okay!" We rehearse in the small theater of the regiment, and you can also sit inside and watch us rehearse. ”

Li Yunhai took a walk around the neighborhood.

There are many provincial-level literary and artistic units here, such as the Provincial Xinhua Bookstore, the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe, the Provincial Drama Theater, the Provincial Library, and the Provincial Workers' Art Troupe.

It's a pity that it's night, and the bookstore and library are closed, otherwise Li Yunhai would be able to go in and spend half a day.

He walked into a green forest and heard a cricket.

Li Yunhai was in the countryside when he was a child, and on summer evenings, he often went out with his friends to catch crickets and fireflies to play.

At this moment, he heard the cricket screaming, he was childlike, first went to the neighborhood to buy a bottle of soda to drink, left the bottle and did not return, and then came to the woods, listened to the sound and identified the position, took advantage of the street lamp and the moonlight, determined the direction of the cricket, and then predicted the direction of the cricket's beating, and caught it with both palms.

Li Yunhai caught three crickets, put them in a bottle, picked a few leaves, and loosely plugged the mouth of the bottle.

It's almost time.

Li Yunhai carried the bottle, came to the Workers' Art Troupe, listened to the music, and knew the direction of the small theater, he pushed open the door of the theater and walked in.

On the stage, members of more than a dozen art troupes are rehearsing the show.

Lin Zhi was also on stage.

She danced solo at school.

Today's rehearsal in the troupe is a group dance, fifteen young women with flowers and branches, divided into three rows of dances.

Lin Zhi stood in the front row and waved at him when he saw Li Yunhai.

The teacher who led the team pointed at Lin Zhi and signaled her to focus.

Li Yunhai sat next to the door.

He felt that this group dance was too chaotic, and it was not as artistic and ornamental as Nyingchi's solo dance.

Rehearsal ends.

Lin Zhi happily ran down and said with a smile: "What are you holding in your hand?" I think I heard a scream. ”

Li Yunhai handed her the bottle: "Cricket." ”

"Huh! Did you catch it? When I was a kid, I wanted to catch it, but I couldn't! How did you get it? ”

"What's so difficult about that? I caught it as soon as I grabbed it. Gone? ”

"Well, let's go!" Lin Zhi held the bottle curiously, observed the crickets inside, and listened to their loud calls, "Hey, why three?" ”

"It's three, what's wrong?"

"Isn't there one of the three that is particularly lonely?"

"I caught it casually, and I didn't care about it."

Outside, Lin Zhi walked under the tree at the edge of the courtyard, tore open the cap of the bottle, released one, leaving only two, and then closed the mouth of the bottle, and said with a smile: "In this way, they are not alone." ”

“……”

"Li Yunhai, I didn't expect you to really wait for me." Lin Zhi was very happy.

"A manly man, once he says it, the horse is hard to chase!"

"Do you have time for me tomorrow night?"

"Tomorrow night? I'm going to fix the copier. Do you still have to come to rehearsals? ”

"Yes. Half a month in a row! Will you pick me up? Good no good? Anyway, it can be worth two cents of interest, right? ”

"I'll take a look, I'll come when I'm free."

"Hey, send me home! I like to ride in your bike, you ride steadily. ”

The night breeze is as cool as water.

Lin Zhi's melodious singing voice sounded:

"Our hometown,

On the field of hope.

Cooking smoke wafts over newly built houses,

The creek flows beside the beautiful village.

A piece of winter wheat, that, a piece of sorghum,

Ten miles, yo, lotus pond, ten miles of fruity ......"

This song was the accompaniment song to the dance they had just rehearsed.

Lin Zhi's voice is as tactful and crisp as a lark.

She suddenly stopped singing and pulled the hem of Li Yunhai's clothes: "When will you go back to your hometown one day?" ”

Li Yunhai said: "Let's go a while!" I have to report back to Meishan Machinery Factory. ”

"I want to go to your hometown, okay?"

"What's there to see in the countryside?"

"That's where my dad worked, and where you were born and raised. I want to see the jujube grove in front of your house and see the aroma of jujube flowers, flowing like the wind! ”

"Do you have time?"

"Well, I can always find the time! You tell me the address of your house, and I'll go and look for you directly. ”

"After I go back, there is a high probability that I will work at Meishan Machinery Factory."

"The address of your home is a state secret? Ineffable? ”

Li Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course not." Shiban Village, Baixi Township, next to the old ancestral hall of the Li family, where there are three wells, is my home. ”

"Well, I made a note of it!" Lin Zhi chuckled, "I'm going, is there a bed for me to sleep in?" ”

"Huh? No! ”

"So where do I sleep? Doesn't necessarily take the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed? Sleeping in your family's date grove? ”

"Are you really going to my house? I thought you were joking. If you go, I'll arrange for you and my two sisters to squeeze together. ”

"Yes, yes. That's it. ”

Lin Zhi sang a cheerful song again:

"Hey, hey, hey!

We have lived on this field for generations,

Rich for her, prosperous for her......"

Her singing voice is so beautiful that it reminds people of the fields of her hometown, and the fragrance of rice and grass on a summer night.

Sending her to the door, Li Yunhai said goodbye to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi smiled and said, "Li Yunhai, thank you for accompanying me!" Good night! ”

It's this familiar good night again, which seems to be able to get people drunk!

Shen Xiulan would never say goodnight to him.

People in this era also say good night from time to time. I don't know where Lin Zhi learned it?

Li Yunhai nodded and waved his hand: "Goodbye!" Good night! ”

Back in the store, Li Yunhai sorted out the photocopiers.

There were several photocopiers, which were not worth repairing, and could only be used to disassemble parts, so Li Yunhai disassembled them, leaving useful parts and stacking the shells in the corners.

With such a tidying up, the room is much more spacious.

Li Yunhai carried a bucket of water, went to the courtyard under the tree to take a shower, washed his clothes, and hung them on a long rope pulled under the eaves in front of the door.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Li Yunhai woke up.

He tried the five copiers again and made sure there were no problems.

He then proceeded to disassemble and repair other copiers.

According to Li Yunhai's estimate, 20 photocopiers can assemble 12 working photocopiers by disassembling parts and repairing them!

With the experience of the past few days, Li Yunhai's technology and techniques are becoming more and more mature, whether it is dismantling, modifying circuits, or replacing parts, they are getting faster and faster.

In the morning, he repaired another photocopier.

In the middle, I also received two maintenance jobs, helped people repair a TV and a refrigerator, and earned five yuan.

It's strange that Liu Shitao didn't send anyone to find him!

Li Yunhai beat a drum in his heart.

Things can't change again, right?

At half past two in the afternoon, Li Yunhai couldn't sit still, came to the street, found a public phone, and called Liu Shitao's office.

The phone rang, but no one answered.

Li Yunhai pulled it again.

After a long while, a deep voice came from there: "Hey, who one?" ”

Li Yunhai smiled: "Hello President Liu, I am Li Yunhai." ”

Liu Shitao laughed and said, "Comrade Xiao Li, you can be considered calm!" Call me at this time. It's settled! You can send a photocopier directly to our bank! ”

Li Yunhai was ecstatic!

After all, this is the first big business he has done in his life!

Can he not be happy?

"Thank you, President Liu! I'm going to find a car and send a photocopier to me. ”

"Good! You're here, come to the office and come to me. ”

Li Yunhai hung up the phone, thinking about where to find a truck, and suddenly thought of Ding Qiang, so he dialed Ding Qiang's phone in Xizhou.

The person who answered the phone was the doorman in the communication room.

Li Yunhai asked him to find Ding Qiang, who was driving a truck.

The doorman said please wait.

After a while, Ding Qiang's voice came from the phone: "Who?" ”

"Brother Ding, I'm Li Yunhai!"

"Oh! It's you! ”

"Brother Ding, are you free now? Help me deliver the goods. I'll treat you to a meal by the way. ”

"Okay, I happen to be free, I haven't been out of the car for the past two days. Going to your store? ”

"Yes, I'm in the store, do you remember the place? Nine such as lane. ”

"Yes, come right away!"

Li Yunhai returned to the store, and when Ding Qiang came over, the two of them moved five photocopiers into the car.

Ding Qiang asked where to go?

Li Yunhai said the address and got into the car with Ding Qiang.

The car soon arrived at the bank office building.

The security guard stopped the car.

Li Yunhai got out of the car, handed a cigarette to the guard, and said with a smile: "We are here to deliver the photocopier, and President Liu Shitao ordered the goods." ”

The security guard seems to have received a call from Liu Shitao and asked Li Yunhai to let them go as soon as they registered.

Liu Shitao brought people to accept the photocopier.

These five photocopiers are even better than Liu Shitao imagined!

The appearance is eighty percent new, except for some less obvious scratches, there are no major flaws.

After trying the machine, the bank's professionals said that the photocopier is very good, the copying speed is fast, the printed handwriting is clear and neat, the operation is also very convenient, and the functions are very complete.

After listening to the report, Liu Shitao was very satisfied.

Of course, he would not embarrass Li Yunhai, and after acceptance, he immediately signed a purchase contract with Li Yunhai and issued a receipt order.

Li Yunhai rushed to the finance department to receive the money.

Enterprises and institutions, procurement and finance are separated, and they are all independent departments, belonging to different leadership and management, working side by side with each other, rather than directly cooperating with each other.

Li Yunhai is well aware of the truth, and he did not ask for money arrogantly and naturally because he sold the machine to the bank.

However, as soon as he spoke, the financial comrade shook his head: "Your account can't be settled today, and the bill of more than 50,000 yuan has to wait for our senior director to sign it." Director Gao went on a business trip and won't be back until three days later. ”

Li Yunhai thought that people were fooling him, such a big bank, settling a bill of tens of thousands of yuan, what director should wait for to sign?

He said a basket of good things: "Comrade, can you please be accommodating?" The photocopier has been signed by your unit, and this is the handwritten signature of President Liu. I'm waiting for the money to turn! ”

The comrade from the finance department waved his hand, didn't look at him for a moment, and dropped a sentence: "Then you go to the procurement department to ask for money!" ”

Li Yunhai ran into a wall, so he had to turn around and find Liu Shitao.

Liu Shitao explained: "Comrade Xiao Li, our unit does have this regulation, why don't you come back to settle the bill in three days?" ”

When Li Yunhai heard this, his heart was half cold, knowing this money, he was afraid that it would not be so easy to get his hands on it.

The more large the unit, the more the financial eyes are above the top, and the more difficult it is to settle the bill!

He had no choice but to go back and ask for money three days later.
