Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 815: Ignorant!

"Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta! Ta-ta-ta!"

"Deputy Director You! Are you free now? If you are free, let's go to the logistics warehouse together, take inventory of the materials in the warehouse, and then conduct the handover." Lin Xuemei stood at the door of You Changzheng's office, first reached out and knocked on the door, and asked You Changzheng politely.

You Changzheng, who had just finished a phone call, learned the purpose of Lin Xuemei's visit and said to her with a smile, "Director Lin! Please wait a moment. I will pack my things and come right away."

After You Changzheng had packed up his things, Lin Xuemei led him to the door of the warehouse on the first floor and introduced him to him with a smile: "Deputy Director You! This is our warehouse keeper, Comrade Shen Zijun!"

Lin Xuemei introduced this and said to Shen Zijun with a smile: "Zijun! I believe you should have heard the news. From today on, logistics will be in charge of Deputy Director You. I am here to take over with Deputy Director You. You should quickly take out the warehouse account book. I will take inventory with Deputy Director You first, and then we can take over."

The news that You Changzheng was in charge of logistics had already spread within the Trade Department right after the meeting. Upon hearing the news, Shen Zijun, the warehouse supervisor, immediately prepared the warehouse account books and waited for Lin Xuemei to bring You Changzheng to the warehouse for inventory.

After Shen Zijun heard Lin Xuemei's introduction, he immediately greeted You Changzheng politely and said, "Deputy Director You! The account book is ready. You can check the materials in the warehouse at any time according to the figures in the account book!"

As he spoke, Shen Zijun led the two of them into the warehouse and began to take inventory of the supplies stored in the warehouse.

The Trade Department had only fifty-seven employees in total, so the materials stored in the Trade Department's warehouse were not as many as those in the factory warehouse. It only took You Changzheng more than half an hour to complete the inventory and handover work.

After You Changzheng and Lin Xuemei walked out of the warehouse together, thinking of the frozen pork, chicken, duck and fish in the cold storage room, he couldn't help but sighed: "Director Lin! I didn't expect that the warehouse in our department is not big, but it is small but complete! Especially the amount of meat stored in the cold storage is actually almost the same as the amount of meat stored in the logistics warehouse of the Organization Department."

When Lin Xuemei heard You Changzheng's sigh and thought of You Changzheng's background, she looked at You Changzheng with a strange look in her eyes. She introduced You Changzheng proudly, "Deputy Director You! The meat in the cold storage is only the amount used by our Trade Department cafeteria for one month."

When You Changzheng heard what Lin Xuemei said, he was shocked and asked, "Director Lin! What are you talking about? That much meat is only the amount used by our canteen in a month. Does our canteen have many receptions?"

When Lin Xuemei heard You Changzheng's question and saw his surprised expression, she introduced him with contempt in her heart: "Deputy Director You! The canteen doesn't host many receptions. From January this year to now, the canteen has held thirteen receptions in total."

"The reason why the canteen consumes so much meat in a month is that our unit canteen provides two meat meals every other day, at noon and in the evening. On the days when meat dishes are provided, comrades in our department will take their lunch boxes from the canteen to get food and take it home to share with their families. This is an invisible benefit of our department." The canteen of the organization department where You Changzheng worked before provided meat dishes twice a week. Comrades in the organization department would also take the opportunity of the canteen's supply of meat dishes to take food home to improve their meals with their families.

You Changzheng originally thought that the food in the Organization Department canteen was already very good. But after hearing Lin Xuemei's introduction, You Changzheng realized that the food in the Organization Department canteen was nothing compared to the food in the Trade Bureau canteen!
Although he was surprised, You Changzheng quickly thought of a question and asked Lin Xuemei, "Director Lin! As far as I know, the supply from the meat processing plant is fixed. How much quota does our company have every month that we can provide two meals of meat every other day?"

When Lin Xuemei heard You Changzheng asking about the quota that the meat processing plant gave to the Trade Department, she answered without thinking, "Deputy Director You! Because we are a civilian unit, the meat processing plant only gives us 300 kilograms of pork every month. As for the extra part, it is all unplanned supplies."

Lin Xuemei paused for a moment and continued, "There is another thing you may not know. In the past, our canteen provided an unlimited supply of meat. If someone hadn't been jealous of the food in our canteen and sent a letter of complaint to the higher authorities, the director would not have changed the unlimited supply to every other day."

You Changzheng was already very surprised by the news that the canteen of the Trade Bureau served two meat meals every other day. Now, hearing Lin Xuemei say that the canteen of the Trade Bureau used to supply unlimited meat, You Changzheng was even more shocked.

After digesting the news that Lin Xuemei had revealed, You Changzheng gradually regained his composure and quickly asked Lin Xuemei, "Director Lin! I heard you say that the canteen used to have an unlimited supply of meat every day. From which channel did we purchase the unplanned meat?"

When Lin Xuemei heard You Changzheng asking about the unplanned procurement channels, she smiled and introduced to You Changzheng: "Deputy Director You! Some of those unplanned materials were purchased by our department's purchasers from the countryside, while the vast majority were purchased from outside by our director through his connections."

Lin Xuemei introduced this, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and said to You Changzheng with a smile: "Deputy Director You! I have officially handed over the logistics work of our department to you. It's getting late now. I have to pack up my things and go to the cafeteria to get food and go home."

When You Changzheng heard what Lin Xuemei said and learned the source of the unplanned meat, he felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

When You Changzheng heard what Lin Xuemei said, he smiled and said to her, "Director Lin! Since you have something to do, go and do it first! If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask you for help again."

When Lin Xuemei heard You Changzheng's words and was about to go back to the office, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stopped and said to You Changzheng, "Deputy Director You! Look at my memory. I almost forgot the most important thing. According to the regulations of the department, you are the deputy director and you have 200 yuan of reception expenses every month. You can receive guests in the small cafeteria or outside!"
