The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 53 Work Plan

After a long day of work, Li Qin needed to replenish his energy, so he used the magic spell of life to treat himself to a sumptuous meal.

Many dishes were previously impossible to make due to a lack of ingredients.

However, while we can't say that we have everything in the planting space, we generally have all the common types available.

Therefore, his menu has suddenly become much more extensive.

While the kitchen was automatically preparing the food, Li Qin drank tea in the living room and took out the old items he had picked out at the recycling station in the east of the city from his storage ring.

With each release of the restoration and cleansing spells, the old items, which had some minor damage, were restored to their original state and became completely clean.

Upon seeing this, Li Qin placed these items in the corresponding areas of the courtyard.

Finally, he took out several watches that were so badly damaged that they were beyond repair.

Looking at these watches, Li Qin couldn't help but think of the kind lady's gaze and expression when he met her at the recycling center.

I was a little confused at the time, but now I understand it a bit better.

"A watch this badly damaged, let alone an experienced repairman, even sending it back to the factory probably wouldn't be able to fix it."

Li Qin inspected each of the watches one by one.

Finally, a conclusion is reached;

If he hadn't used magic to repair these things, they would have had to be sold back to the recycling center as junk.

As Li Qin cast a spell on these watches, the watches that were originally just trash suddenly changed.

One of them looks neither new nor old on the outside, but the inside has been restored to new condition if someone were to take it apart;

You might even find that the internal parts are exactly the same as when it left the factory.

Li Qin intends to wear this watch himself in the future.

This slightly worn-out style is more in line with his status.

As for the remaining watches, Li Qin restored them all perfectly using a magic spell.

Although Li Qin didn't know much about watches, and the watches he bought were basically in terrible condition when they were purchased.

Therefore, he couldn't tell what brand these watches were.

But after he used a spell to repair them all, he discovered that none of his watches were ordinary.

Two of them are Shanghai brand and Zhongshan brand;

The remaining two are actually foreign brands, and very famous ones at that: Omega and Longines.

As for the piece that Li Qin chose to keep for later use, it was even more famous.

Rolex.

If these watches were kept for decades, each one would be worth at least several million dollars, or even more.

However, Li Qin only played with it casually for a while before putting it away in the study in the courtyard.

Ordinary people might find these things very precious, but for Li Qin at this moment, they are just something new and exciting.

Once he had the watch, Li Qin immediately calibrated its time.

Previously, while at the recycling station, Li Qin synchronized the timer system developed by the god with the real world.

Therefore, setting the time on a watch is now very simple.

"Now that all the conditions have been basically met, the next step is to get the job sorted out."

Li Qin sat on a stool in the living room, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes;

"Although I could find a job in many places with my current abilities, I can only choose the steel rolling mill in order to gain more emotional power."

Although in this world, the fortune of a steel rolling mill certainly cannot compare to that of a courtyard house, it is definitely not lacking.

Given that the number of people in the steel rolling mill far exceeds that in the courtyard, the emotional power they can obtain must also be enormous.

"According to the information I've gathered from the black market these past few days, a job quota at a steel rolling mill is now worth about 500 yuan."

The money problem is relatively easy to solve. I have several hundred yuan on me right now, and if I go to the black market a few more times, I can get at least one or two thousand yuan.

The key now is deciding who to start with.

Although there were people secretly selling workstations at the steel rolling mill, Li Qin did not want to get into the mill through this method.

Because the potential risks are too great.

Apart from this method, the only option left is to approach the leaders of the steel rolling mill.

The steel rolling mill is about to expand, and in addition to the normal recruitment, the factory leaders will also allocate some work positions.

As for whether these leaders use the money to arrange things for their relatives and friends, exchange it for money, or use it to do favors, it's a matter of perspective.

The factory won't care.

This can be considered a kind of hidden benefit given to the factory's leaders, and also a kind of unspoken rule.

There are quite a few leaders in the steel rolling mill, and Li Qin is now considering which leader to start with.

"Although we gained some understanding of the steel mill from the plot, that was a steel mill eight or nine years later. It's definitely different now."

Li Qin was a man who planned things out before acting, so he intended to pay close attention to the situation at the steel rolling mill in the next few days.

At least understand the basic situation of the internal organizational structure.

This will make it easier for him to act in the future.

In fact, Li Qin already had some ideas in mind;

"When the story begins, Li Huaide is already the deputy factory director in charge of logistics. Based on this timeline, Li Huaide has most likely already entered the factory by now."

If possible, it would be possible to get into the steel rolling mill through Li Huaide's connections.

Although from the perspective of He Yuzhu and others in the story, Li Huaide is not a good person, but from Li Qin's perspective...

Li Huaide, however, is a good leader.

And they can actually get things done, provided the benefits are right.

As for why he didn't choose Yang Damin, the factory manager in the story, it's because Li Qin didn't have much affection for Yang Damin.

Despite Yang Damin's seemingly upright and genuinely good character in the storyline, it's hard to believe he's actually a good person.

However, Li Qin had a different opinion on this.

The fact that Yang Damin allowed He Yuzhu to take leftover food from the cafeteria home is problematic in itself.

In those days of scarcity, there were hardly any leftovers.

He Yuzhu was able to take home leftovers because he saved them by having the factory workers stir-fry them.

How could Yang Damin not know about such a thing?

Moreover, if Yang Damin were truly selfless, would he have thought of bringing He Yuzhu to cook for the high-ranking leader in the story?

There are other things that show Yang Damin is not as "upright" as he appears on the surface.

Compared to such people, Li Qin preferred to deal with genuine villains like Li Huaide;

Furthermore, the purchasing agent position that Li Qin wanted to join belonged to the logistics department, which was also the department that Li Huaide would be in charge of in the future.

Most importantly, during that turbulent decade, Li Huaide rose to prominence and remained in a position of power.

If Li Qin could establish a connection with Li Huaide early on, it would be of great benefit to his future.

Although Li Qin possessed extraordinary power, he still had to abide by the rules of this world most of the time.

Unless one day he can reach the point of ignoring the state apparatus.

"In that case, for the next few days, besides operating the planting area normally, we will infiltrate the steel rolling mill to observe."

Li Qin immediately made a decision.
