Chapter 321 The Third Aunt's Request
Seeing how much Li Qin cared about his affairs, Li Huaide was touched, but he also knew that Li Qin was right.
This incident is significant for him, and he certainly cannot afford to relax.
Li Huaide then patted Li Qin on the shoulder;
"Then I'll let you work hard for a few days, Xiaoqin. Once this is over, I'll give you a few days off so you can have a good rest."
Your aunt has been saying you haven't visited her in a while. Come over to my house sometime, and we can have a meal together.
Li Qin's strong affinity is no joke.
After visiting Li Huaide's home several times, Li Huaide's wife became extremely close to Li Qin.
It feels like he treated Li Qin even better than Li Huaide did.
They treated him exactly like their own nephew or niece.
Most importantly, Li Qin was able to clearly perceive that the closeness between him and Li Huaide was different;
Li Huaide is now very close to Li Qin, and Li Qin can sense that there is genuine affection in this closeness.
However, some vested interests still play a role in this.
But Li Huaide's wife was close to him, and there was absolutely no self-interest involved.
I genuinely and simply like Li Qin, my "nephew".
Therefore, after hearing Li Huaide's words, Li Qin also showed a genuine smile on his face;
"It's all my fault for being so insensible. I haven't gone to check on it for so long. I'll go and apologize after this matter is over."
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, Li Huaide shook his head with a smile.
The two chatted for a while longer before Li Qin got up to say goodbye.
Li Qin first went back to the courtyard house.
He might be gone for several days this time, so he still needs to show up at the courtyard house and let the people there know that he's going to the countryside to buy supplies.
"Xiao Li, are you back from your trip to the countryside?"
Li Qin had just stepped into the courtyard house when he ran into the third aunt of the Yan family.
Although Li Qin disapproved of some of the Yan family's actions, he still responded very politely when they greeted him.
"Yes, I just got back from the steel rolling mill. I'm just here to pick up some things before heading to the countryside again."
Li Qin took the opportunity to tell everyone that he had been sent to the countryside.
Upon hearing his words, a glint of light flashed in the third aunt's eyes.
She immediately walked to Li Qin's side and then whispered:
"Xiao Li, when you go to the countryside this time, could you do Auntie a small favor?"
Upon hearing what the three women said, Li Qin immediately looked puzzled:
"Tell me what it is first. If I can help, I definitely will."
Li Qin neither directly refused nor readily agreed.
After all, if the other party's request is tricky or has hidden dangers, Li Qin has to be careful.
As for why they didn't just refuse outright...
That's because Li Qin still needs to live in the courtyard house. If he refused outright without even listening to their advice, people would definitely say he's heartless.
Of course, if what the third aunt said wasn't a big deal and wouldn't affect Li Qin much, he wouldn't mind helping her.
It's because he's been in a good mood lately.
At this moment, the three women first looked around to make sure no one was there before speaking in a low voice;
"Xiao Li, I heard that when you're a purchasing agent, you don't need receipts when you collect supplies in the countryside. Could you please help us purchase some supplies?"
Whether it's grain, dried goods, or other supplies, anything is acceptable.
As she said this, the third aunt's eyes gleamed with shrewdness.
When she looked at Li Qin, her face was full of anticipation and excitement.
However, Li Qin's face darkened upon hearing what the third aunt said.
He sighed helplessly in his heart;
"As expected of the Yan family, they are indeed quite shrewd."
Li Qin didn't know what to say.
Purchasing staff can indeed take advantage of their work to purchase items that are not normally available for their own homes.
But that was only a small amount, and it was all for their own family use.
If you're helping others, it's fine if the amount is small, but if the amount is large, it's definitely setting yourself up for trouble.
At that time, no matter who it is, as long as they report it, they will definitely be caught red-handed.
Based on Li Qin's understanding of the Yan family, they were all insatiably greedy, and once Li Qin agreed...
Even though the supplies we asked Li Qin to help purchase this time were not many, it's hard to say what will happen next time.
Moreover, if other residents of the courtyard come looking for help after helping the Yan family, will Li Qin help them or not?
Gangs pose a significant hidden danger;
If I don't help, people will say I'm heartless and cold-hearted...
Knowing the consequences, Li Qin didn't even need to think. After the third aunt spoke, he simply shook his head and said;
"I'm sorry, Auntie, I really can't help you with this. Recently, after the steel rolling mill was expanded, in order to prevent the purchasing department from doing anything wrong;
They were very strict about the purchasing agents' trips to the countryside; everything they brought back had to be handed over to the steel rolling mill.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, the third aunt subconsciously revealed a displeased expression.
She instinctively thought that Li Qin simply didn't want to help.
She didn't care about the reasons Li Qin gave.
Zuo You is just a housewife, and a member of the Yan family at that. To put it bluntly, reasoning with her is like talking to a brick wall.
The third aunt looked at Li Qin with great dissatisfaction and said:
"Li Qin, we're all neighbors living in the same courtyard. It's a bit unreasonable that you can't even help with this small favor that Auntie asked you to do."
Fortunately, the third aunt knew that she needed their help, so even though she was very dissatisfied, she didn't say anything unpleasant.
Li Qin, however, remained calm as he looked at the three women in front of him. After they finished speaking, he said indifferently:
"Auntie, this isn't about whether I'll help you or not; it's about risking my job by doing this."
You all know what price I paid for this job.
If I lose my job because of helping you, will you be responsible for paying for me to find a stable new job?
"If you agree to this, and promise it in front of the whole hospital, then I will help you."
Seeing that Li Qin made the matter sound so serious, the third aunt immediately fell silent.
After all, Li Qin spent several hundred yuan to get into the steel rolling mill, and he is still a full-time employee.
If Li Qin really loses his job because of this, we'll find him a new, permanent job.
The price to pay would be too high.
The "shrewd" Yan family naturally knew how to make the right choice.
The three women immediately spoke up:
"Li Qin, if you're not willing to help, fine. What's the point of saying all this?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qin immediately became somewhat displeased.
Although it is true that he was unwilling to help the Yan family, the reasons he just gave were also true.
The three women didn't want to take any potential risks and blamed Li Qin, which made him very uncomfortable.
Li Qin glanced indifferently at the third aunt, then said coldly;
"I've already explained the reasoning clearly. As for what you think, Auntie, I don't care."
