21: Pre-inspection of warehouse

Liu Xiaolin walked for five or six minutes before reaching the warehouse.

Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong was currently leading his two subordinates in cleaning the warehouse.

All of them were sweating from the effort, but they were full of vigor.

“Supervisor Xiao, are you busy?” Seeing them engrossed in their work and not noticing him, Liu Xiaolin took the initiative to greet them.

Hearing the sound, Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong looked up and saw that the young General Manager Liu had graced them with his presence.

He quickly replied, “Yes, production is about to start soon! We're cleaning up the warehouse to store raw materials. At this time, our warehouse cannot hold things up.”

Liu Xiaolin was very pleased that they were so proactively cooperating with various departments’ work: “Supervisor Xiao truly put thought into this. How is the cleaning going?”

Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong said, “We consolidated the raw materials based on their original storage locations. After communicating with Minister Yang, we stored all the raw materials needed for this production run in one large warehouse, making it convenient to retrieve them quickly when picking materials.”

“This is a good method! Whose idea was this?” Liu Xiaolin said with surprise.

“Hehe, this was an idea I came up with together with Minister Yang,” Supervisor Xiao said somewhat proudly.

“Hmm, this idea indeed greatly facilitated the workshop’s material picking work,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“Yes, it's all for everyone’s convenience. After this effort, our Warehouse No. 3 and Warehouse No. 4 are basically almost empty. So, we plan to store all the raw materials required for the new product in these two warehouses,” Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong said.

“Take me to see Warehouse No. 3 and No. 4,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“Alright, come with me,” Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong said as he led Liu Xiaolin towards Warehouse No. 3.

Pulling open the large door of Warehouse No. 3, a warehouse of three to four hundred square meters appeared before their eyes. Many lines were drawn on the warehouse floor, dividing it into many grids. In front of each grid stood a sign, with the name of the raw material written on it.

Liu Xiaolin walked and observed. A small number of grids had remaining raw materials, which were also well-maintained. Some unopened outer packaging was wiped clean, while some opened ones were wrapped in transparent plastic sheeting to prevent oxidation.

It was clear at a glance that the work was done with great care.

Liu Xiaolin looked around Warehouse No. 3, specifically noting the storage location of the Cylinder block, but he didn't find it.

He guessed that the storage location for the Cylinder block was likely in Warehouse No. 4.

So he said to Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong, “Let’s go take a look at Warehouse No. 4.”

Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong then took him to the adjacent Warehouse No. 4.

Upon entering Warehouse No. 4, the area here was even larger than Warehouse No. 3. This warehouse was only divided into four areas, with only four raw material signs.

One of the signs had “Cylinder block” written on it.

Now Liu Xiaolin knew the storage location of the Cylinder block. After the employees got off work in the evening, he would start “receiving goods”!

“Supervisor Xiao, a batch of raw materials might arrive tonight. Please hand over the warehouse keys to Gatekeeper Zhang Shifu so it doesn't delay your time off work,” Liu Xiaolin prepared in advance.

“Okay, Warehouse No. 3 and No. 4 are cleaned up. I’ll have Li Yuhu hand over the warehouse keys to Zhang Shifu later,” Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong said.

“Okay, it’s good for everyone to look out for each other.” Liu Xiaolin made this decision because he had his own plans.

“But, can Zhang Shifu count the raw material data? Or should I stay and wait?” Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong was still a bit worried.

“No need, I get off work late anyway, I can count it together with him.” Liu Xiaolin naturally didn't want Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong to stay: “Or, don’t give the keys to Zhang Shifu, just give them to me directly. I’ll handle this matter specifically.”

Liu Xiaolin had a change of thought. It would be troublesome to ask Zhang Shifu for the keys later; it was better to do it in one go and keep the warehouse keys himself.

Seeing how General Manager Liu considered the employees so much, Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong was very moved: “General Manager Liu, you are truly too good. You work overtime yourself but don't make us work overtime!”

“I’m young, and I don’t have much to do at home,” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

“Okay, I’ll give you the keys now. Which warehouse keys do you need?” Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong asked.

“Just give me the keys to Warehouse No. 4. The raw material arriving tonight should be the Cylinder block,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“Okay, I have a spare key for Warehouse No. 4. I’ll go get it for you,” Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong said.

The two walked to the warehouse entrance. Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong locked the large door and led Liu Xiaolin towards the warehouse office.

The warehouse office was at the very front of the warehouse. Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong walked in, took a key, and handed it to Liu Xiaolin: “Here is this spare key for you.”

“Okay, I’ll return it to you after work tomorrow. At that time, I will also give you the inbound data. You just need to check it once then,” Liu Xiaolin said.

“Then we’ll trouble General Manager Liu,” Warehouse Supervisor Xiao Guodong said happily.

After getting the keys, Liu Xiaolin returned to his office.

The current task was to wait until the employees got off work and then go “receive the goods” himself.
