Chapter 279 Colleague Asks for Help
Research into Li Qin revealed that his alchemy techniques actually shared certain similarities with the magical potion-making techniques he inherited.
However, alchemy is more like an upgrade of basic traditional Chinese medicine.
Although the pills produced were very effective, they did not involve any extraordinary powers.
However, Li Qin was still very interested in it.
Fortunately, the medicine garden in the pagoda space has a lot of medicinal herbs, so Li Qin has the means to refine some of the pills mentioned in the book.
These elixirs all require certain old medicinal herbs as their main ingredients.
As for the effects, they were varied and unpredictable.
Some are for treating illnesses, some for strengthening the body, some for nourishing the body, and some for maintaining health...
If what's recorded in the book is true, it's quite interesting.
The key point is that once it's refined, it can definitely be exchanged for a lot of gold, which is what Li Qin is really concerned about.
I want to make an impression on Li Huaide this time, so that I can bring out something special in the future.
After finishing his business, Li Qin chatted with Li Huaide for a while before leaving.
Next, Li Qin took some purchase payment receipts and went to the finance department.
He exchanged all the certificates he had for money before returning to the purchasing department.
Now, Li Qin has taken care of everything, whether it's the supplies he promised Wang Dawei to help him with or the supplies he helped his colleagues with.
Two bottles of the medicinal wine I promised Li Huaide have already been sent over.
As for the remaining medicinal wine, Li Qin naturally wouldn't send it over too quickly.
That would make people think the matter is too simple.
Li Qin thought he had mostly finished dealing with his work and wouldn't have anything else to do for a while, but to his surprise, as soon as he returned to the purchasing department, several colleagues approached him:
Li Qin knew that these people had something to say to him when they approached him.
He then gestured to the group;
"Let's go out for a smoke!"
These colleagues were all quick-witted and immediately understood the meaning behind Li Qin's words.
They all nodded in agreement.
"Okay, okay!"
The group of six or seven people left just like that.
Some of his colleagues looked puzzled, some looked enlightened, and others glanced at him indifferently before looking away.
"Tell me, what brings you here?"
After leaving the purchasing department, Li Qin and several colleagues found a less crowded spot and first shared a few cigarettes.
After lighting it and taking a deep drag, Li Qin finally spoke and asked.
Actually, when these people came to him, he already had a guess about their purpose.
However, the final truth still needs to be determined by asking around.
"Li Qin, we'd really appreciate it if you could lend us a hand this time."
The colleagues around him exchanged glances, and finally one of them spoke up.
"Tell me what it is first. If I can help, I certainly won't refuse."
Although Li Qin roughly guessed these people's purpose, he didn't reveal it, instead wanting them to speak up. The group exchanged glances again before one of them finally spoke:
"That's right, the end of the month is approaching, and we are still a little short of meeting our purchasing targets for this month."
But now almost everything in the countryside has been collected, and we really have no other choice.
We heard from Bai Wei and the others that you have a way to get some meat and eggs, and we'd like to ask for your help.
Please help us contact suppliers so we can complete our procurement tasks for this month.
After he finished speaking, everyone around him looked at Li Qin with anticipation.
At this moment, a look of "I knew it" flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
He had just guessed that his colleagues had approached him about supplies, and now it seemed that his guess was correct.
Although Li Qin had no shortage of supplies, helping these colleagues was an easy thing for him.
But Li Qin did not agree easily.
He needs to stir up these people's emotions.
One reason was to harness the power of emotions, and the other was to let these people know that this matter was not so simple.
Only in this way can one gain favor with others.
Things that are too easily obtained are never cherished.
Seeing Li Qin remain silent, the expressions of those around him gradually shifted from anticipation to disappointment.
The expression on his face also began to dim.
Just when they thought the matter was hopeless, Li Qin felt the time was about right and slowly spoke:
"We're all colleagues, so I should never refuse to help you if I can. And I do have some channels to get some things."
However, I've already made contact with quite a few things before, so I can't guarantee I'll be able to make contact this time:
However, I can try to contact them first. If I can get them, I will definitely help you get the supplies back.
Li Qin had been silent the whole time, and the people around him thought that there was probably no hope for this.
But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
Li Qin was actually willing to help.
As for the difficulties Li Qin mentioned, his colleagues could understand them.
Because they also knew that Li Qin had already handed over a lot of supplies this month.
Not to mention that they had previously helped Bai Wei and others prepare supplies.
It's normal to feel embarrassed now.
"Li Qin, regardless of whether we can ultimately get in touch with the supplies, we are grateful for your help."
The surrounding colleagues all expressed their opinions.
These people have relatively normal values; they are already grateful that Li Qin can help them.
Even knowing that Li Qin would ultimately be unable to help them, they would not hold a grudge against him.
At most, you'll just regret it;
They regretted not taking advantage of Li Qin's help when Bai Wei and others asked him to help them contact suppliers.
However, after this experience, they had all made a decision in their hearts.
If you ever need Li Qin's help in the future, ask in advance and don't wait until you miss the best opportunity.
Seeing that no one harbored any ill will towards him because of this incident, Li Qin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
From this perspective alone, these people are all fairly normal.
Unlike some people in the courtyard house.
Such contact did not make Li Qin feel disgusted.
Then everyone began to register the quantity and type of supplies they needed with Li Qin.
After recording everything, Li Qin looked at the statistics and then nodded slightly:
"In that case, I'll go to the countryside tomorrow to make some contact for you. If I'm lucky, I should be able to get some meat and eggs back."
However, whether we can meet the needs of so many of you is another matter.
Li Qin then made a promise to everyone.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, everyone showed expressions of gratitude.
Although Li Qin has not given them any absolute guarantee, at least there is some hope now.
This is much better than having no hope at all.
As for the final outcome, that depends on their own luck.
Of course, Li Qin was just being modest, after all, with the supplies stored in his pagoda, he could easily provide for just a few colleagues.
It is more than enough to supply the needs of the steel rolling mill at the same time.
