Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 413 Liu Minghua's Suspicion! (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
Walking out of the compound where the supply office is located, thinking about what happened just now, Zhao Bingkun felt a little regretful, and quickly thanked Wang Weimin: "Old Wang! Fortunately, you stopped me in time just now, otherwise you will be exposed."

Hearing Zhao Bingkun's thanks, Wang Weimin thought of his inner judgment and said to Zhao Bingkun with a smile: "Old Zhao! Director Wu just met us, and he gave us more than 2000 catties of pork, plus five thousand catties of stick noodles. This is enough to illustrate Director Wu’s magnanimity and broadmindedness.”

"Liu Minghua's uncle and Director Wu are colleagues in the same unit. Logically speaking, based on Director Wu's personality, let alone providing food, even pork must be more than ours. In the end, Director Wu only gave us five thousand The pound of stick noodles is enough to show that the relationship between Director Wu and Uncle Liu Minghua is not very good. Director Wu will give these five thousand catties of grain just for the sake of the face of being in the same unit."

Hearing Wang Weimin's analysis, Zhao Bingkun nodded in agreement, then put up his thumb, and replied: "Old Wang! You are right, although we only had a drink with Director Wu once, but Director Wu's This is definitely the way you behave, Director Wu is so enthusiastic even for people we know so well, how could he treat his colleagues badly?"

Hearing Zhao Bingkun's words, Wang Weimin thought about the pork eating in their factory today, and he did not forget to remind Zhao Bingkun: "Old Zhao! When you go back later, you must remember to tell the workers in the factory not to disclose the extra lunch at noon to the outside world. The matter, and the source of our pork and the source of our food, must not be passed on.”

Zhao Bingkun heard Wang Weimin's reminder, nodded in agreement, and replied: "Old Wang! I know about this."

Liu Minghua took Wu Aiguo's approval slip, completed the formalities at the Supply Department of the General Administration of Grain, and then walked out of the Supply Department with the bill of lading.

As a result, when Liu Minghua walked out of the supply office of the General Administration of Grain, a truck stopped in front of him.

"Director Liu! What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here." Zhou Haitao greeted Liu Minghua with surprise when he saw Liu Minghua coming out of the supply department.

Seeing Zhou Haitao, Liu Minghua asked Zhou Haitao in surprise, "Xiao Zhou! Why are you here?"

Before Zhou Haitao was transferred to the knitting factory as the logistics director, he was the head of the procurement department in the canning factory. At that time, Liu Minghua was the director of the logistics department of the canning factory and Zhou Haitao's immediate boss.

Zhou Haitao was very surprised to see Liu Minghua who came out of the purchasing department. Facing Liu Minghua's answer, Zhou Haitao quickly introduced: "Director Liu! Two days ago, I asked a friend to get five thousand catties of stick noodles. I came here specially to go through the formalities of exiting the warehouse.”

When Liu Minghua learned that Zhou Haitao got the unplanned five-thousand-jin stick noodles, he immediately remembered the encounter with Zhao Bingkun and Wang Weimin. A strange thought immediately appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help asking Zhou Haitao: " Xiao Zhou! I didn’t expect that after changing to a new working environment, your ability in procurement will become stronger and stronger, and you will be able to get five thousand catties of stick noodles from the General Administration of Grain.”

Hearing Liu Minghua's praise, Zhou Haitao felt a little embarrassed, and replied modestly: "Director Liu! I also asked my friends to help me to get this batch of supplies."

Hearing Zhou Haitao's answer, Liu Minghua tentatively asked Zhou Haitao, "Xiao Zhou! Who is that friend of yours? He can actually help you get five thousand catties of stick noodles?"

Hearing Liu Minghua's question, Zhou Haitao replied with a smile, "Director Liu! I don't know Director Wu very well. I only met him through Deputy Director Li of the rolling mill. Director Wu really has nothing to say, the first time we met, he gave our factory 100 catties of stick noodles, plus more than [-] catties of high-quality pork."

"Xiao Zhou! Is the Director Wu you just mentioned Wu Aiguo? Did he really help your factory get two thousand kilograms of pork?" When Liu Minghua heard Zhou Haitao mention Director Wu, he was obviously stunned until he When he learned that Wu Aiguo had helped Zhou Haitao obtain more than 2000 kilograms of pork, he immediately became a little uneasy and immediately confirmed the news to Zhou Haitao.

Seeing Liu Minghua's reaction, Zhou Haitao was slightly taken aback for a moment, until he heard Liu Minghua ask about the pork, and immediately realized that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said.

Feeling that he had said something he shouldn't have said, Zhou Haitao quickly thought of a way to make amends: "Director Liu! The food was obtained by Director Wu for me, and the pork was obtained by Deputy Director Li of the steel rolling mill. For Director Wu's sake, It was given to our factory."

In Liu Minghua's subconscious mind, his uncle is the person in charge of No. 67, and Wu Aiguo is just a deputy director of No. 67. Under this premise, as long as his uncle comes forward to find Wu Aiguo, Wu Aiguo will definitely He rushed to please his uncle.

Because of this, Liu Minghua learned that Wu Aiguo had only food and no meat on hand. He instinctively thought that Wu Aiguo did not have any meat on hand. Now that he heard Zhou Haitao's introduction, Liu Minghua realized that Wu Aiguo had no meat on hand. Meat, but just unwilling to give it to him.

Realizing this, Liu Minghua thought of the scene where he met Zhao Bingkun and Wang Weimin earlier, which made him immediately realize that besides getting food, Liu Minghua must also get pork from Wu Aiguo, which means they The relationship between my uncle and Wu Aiguo is probably not very harmonious.

Wanting to understand the ins and outs of this, Liu Minghua smiled and said to Zhou Haitao: "Xiao Zhou! If you have anything to do, go ahead and I'll go to the warehouse to pick up the grain."

Zhou Haitao watched Liu Minghua walk out of the supply place. Thinking of what he just said, he slapped Zhizhi on the face, and said to himself angrily, "Zhou Haitao, Zhou Haitao! Why are you so stingy?"

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Liu Minghua returned to the cannery with five thousand catties of stick noodles. Thinking of meeting Zhao Bingkun and others at the General Administration of Grain in the morning, in order to confirm his inner guess, Liu Minghua reached out and pressed the phone on his desk. After shaking the phone handle a few times, he picked up the receiver and said, "Hello! This is the canning factory. Please help me connect to the second workshop of the textile factory."

"Hello! This is the second workshop of the textile factory. May I ask who you are looking for?" The call was connected not long after. Before Liu Minghua could speak, a young man asked politely.
Hearing the young man's inquiry, Liu Minghua immediately asked him: "Comrade! Hello! Please help me ask your Director Zheng to answer the phone."

"Comrade! Our factory cafeteria serves braised pork at noon today. Director Zheng went to the cafeteria to get food. Who are you? When Director Zheng comes back, I will ask him to call you back." The young man learned that Liu Minghua wanted to talk to Director Zheng. After hearing the news, he told Liu Minghua the whereabouts of Director Zheng.

When Liu Minghua learned that braised pork was available in the textile factory cafeteria in the afternoon, he immediately confirmed his inner suspicion and said, "Since Director Zheng is not here, I will call him later."
