Old Xie has been immersed in boundless joy recently.

Undoubtedly, nothing can be happier than promotion.

If there is, it is to be promoted to a higher position than Old Lei.

If there is still, it is to let Old Lei, who has always been high above, be suppressed by him and endure his wanton whipping.

At the thought of this scene in the future, Old Xie was filled with endless energy, wishing to bury himself in work 24 hours a day and handle everything cleanly.

He must prove that he is right!

That stubborn old idea is wrong!

However, despite Old Xie's best efforts, there are still some problems left, like lumps in his heart.

The first lump is the huge sum of money in the anonymous account, which is obviously a typical black money account of the Tian Di Bank.

Although Sheriff Lin told him after continuous soul questioning that it was a birthday gift secretly given to him by the Empire's first princess, anyone with a little brain would probably not believe a word.

Even if Sheriff Lin is really talented and extraordinary, and the first princess has a secret admiration for him but cannot have a public relationship, the secret birthday gift she sent should be extremely romantic and precious. How could she just give money directly?

Even if she gave money, how could she give black money?

And how could she use such a super black account to hide the money?

It's like using a shroud to wrap a birthday gift.

Only the legendary yandere would do such a thing. The first princess is known as the most virtuous and intelligent person in the Empire. Who dares to say that she is a yandere? At least one pursuer from an enhanced team behind her will tear him into pieces.

But for the dream in his heart.

Old Xie still worked hard and took out the gift from the shroud bag without any difference, paid for hundreds of tons of water from his own pocket to clean it, sprayed perfume, did multiple decorations, repackaged it, and moved it to the account of the County Finance Department.

Fortunately, people from the Governor's Office helped, otherwise even if they squeezed his pockets dry, it would be impossible to wash so much money.

Although the task was completed perfectly, this matter left a lump in Old Xie's heart.

The second matter is the issue of material procurement.

Old Xie worked hard to bring the materials back before the deadline, but this does not mean that it is over.

The daily consumption of materials by 300,000 disaster victims is a huge number, especially after Sheriff Lin raised the standards.

Large-scale procurement cannot meet all needs. The best way is to find a sustainable and stable supplier.

There is no supplier in Changshan County that can meet the needs, and even East Qin Prefecture does not have one.

It should be noted that the flood is not only encountered by Changshan County. All areas upstream and downstream of the Tian River have suffered losses, and there are several other areas in East Qin Prefecture that have suffered great losses. They are all busy with their own affairs, how could they still have things to sell to you?"We can only buy from other states, which creates transportation problems.

Sheriff Lin specifically requested that we cannot only buy rice, flour, or finished dry goods, but also vegetables, meat, and eggs. This undoubtedly greatly increases the difficulty of procurement.

Meat is not a big deal, since our funds are limited and the purchase quantity is not large. Also, since it is near winter, transportation and preservation do not cost much.

The key is vegetables. Transportation of vegetables is the most expensive, even the cheapest local vegetables have to increase several times when transported out.

Since the entire Tianjiang area has suffered from disasters, the cheapest water transportation is no longer possible, and we can only use land transportation.

We cannot buy them in East Qin Prefecture, which means we can only use land transportation out of the state. The distance is long, so either the vegetables will rot or the transportation fees will skyrocket, making the originally cheapest and most cost-effective vegetables become luxury goods.

If things turn out like this, Old Xie believes that his dream of becoming the owner of Old Lei will immediately be shattered, and Old Lei might even push him out when he returns.

If there was no opportunity in the first place, it would be fine. But now that there is an opportunity, we almost had it, and in the end, we lost it.

Old Xie felt that he could have a heart attack and die that night.

Except for Xihu City in East Qin Prefecture, the closest place to Changshan County is Qingcheng in Zhongzhou, which is only half a mountain away, located in the middle of the Taixu Mountains, diagonally opposite to Changshan County. As long as we pass through the famous Hangu Pass, we can reach Qingcheng.

Old Xie immediately sent someone to Qingcheng to find a supplier, but he did not have much hope. Qingcheng is also a famous backward area, not much stronger than Changshan County, relying on collecting tolls at Hangu Pass to make a living.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the people were sent over, an organization called the "民党" quickly came to them, claiming that they could provide a large amount of fresh vegetables, goose eggs, and poultry meat. The price was not only very cheap, but also included transportation.

The only requirement was to pay in cash and not accept transfers.

Old Xie was actually suspicious at first, but as soon as he heard the last requirement, he immediately believed half of it.

Those who want cash and not transfers are all secretive and afraid of being traced.

Even black households are far from this level. If the official really wants to investigate, they can investigate everything about black households.

Only cash cannot be investigated, as long as it is not brand new banknotes, it can be used anywhere.

And those who can continuously produce large amounts of cash are more than 90% official departments.

So the two sides quickly reached an agreement, but Old Xie still had a backup plan and asked them to deliver the goods first and pay on the spot.

The leader who came to negotiate for the "民党" was a young man named Chen Xingtai, no more than thirty years old, with a buzz cut and a sharp look.

"Okay," he didn't mind Old Xie's conservatism.

"But let's make it clear, if the vegetables are fresh and not rotten, you cannot refuse to accept them, and the price will be according to the previously agreed form."

"If there is some damage during transportation but the vegetables are not bad, we will pay half the price."

"After all, we are taking risks. If we deliver them and you don't accept them, we have to transport them back, and the loss will be all ours."Old Xie really liked the young man's straightforward negotiation style, everything was clear and didn't care about so-called face. This way, there would be no disputes later on.

Many suppliers outside couldn't distinguish between business and personal relationships. When you talked business with them, they talked about emotions with you. When you talked about business with them, they talked about loyalty with you.

"We're all here!"

"What's the big deal between brothers?"

"I'll drink this cup first!"

"Give me some face!"

"It's not easy, forget it!"

If things went wrong, when you went to talk about emotions with them, they would talk about money with you. In the end, it became a mess, and they thought you were not trustworthy, which made Old Xie very annoyed.

The next day, the Kuomintang brought seven large trucks. Six and a half trucks were filled with vegetables, and half a truck was filled with chicken, duck, fish, meat, and eggs.

To ensure his official position was secure, Old Xie personally went to the scene. The other side brought more than fifty people, but the leader Chen Xingtai didn't come. He was replaced by a woman named Yun Qingshui.

Old Xie began to worry, he was most afraid of dealing with unreasonable shrews. But upon contact, he found that this woman was extremely capable, with a clear and organized way of doing things. She treated people and things with ease and equality, even though she was wearing gray cloth clothes, she talked to Old Xie, who was wearing official clothes, as equals.

In the past, Old Xie would have lost his temper, but now he only cared about his affairs and was too lazy to pay attention to these details.

When the goods were unloaded, Old Xie's eyes widened. He saw that each box of vegetables was extremely full and lively. He grabbed a handful of cabbage and sniffed it up close. He could even smell the fragrance of the soil, but the cabbage was washed clean, not only without any soil or stones, but even the usual watering method was not used.

He shook it hard a few times, only a few drops of water splashed out. Obviously, this was just enough moisture to keep it fresh.

Old Xie randomly picked a box and flipped it over. From top to bottom, it was all the same, with no signs of fraud. The quality of the vegetables was very good. At such a cheap price, it was probably only available locally.

Without a doubt, this was the most conscientious merchant Old Xie had ever seen, so conscientious that it was a bit silly.

"Good!"

Old Xie waved his hand.

"Inspect the goods, weigh them, and pay."

Five staff members brought up a box containing 600,000 yuan in cash. Twenty financial staff members had already set up tables nearby, ready to calculate the accounts. Fifty staff members and 100 laborers went forward to start handing over the goods. There were also several thousand disaster-stricken women waiting in the back, waiting for the food to be cooked.

Yun Qingshui seemed to want to go and get in touch with the disaster-stricken people, but was stopped by Old Xie.

"What are you doing?"

He said warily.

Yun Qingshui was a woman with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, very sharp-witted. When she smiled, she was like a long sword out of its sheath.

"Just understand the situation of the disaster-stricken people. After all, the food is for them to eat. Is that okay, Deputy Director Xie?"It was this title that made Old Xie extremely dissatisfied with her. Sheriff Lin had already promised that he would be promoted at the next general meeting, and now anyone with a bit of vision would call him Director Xie.

However, business was business, and such a good supplier could not be swayed by personal feelings.

He snorted coldly, "The disaster victims are our responsibility in Changshan County. What we buy is what they eat. What's the use of asking them?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshui's attitude noticeably cooled down.

Old Xie didn't notice and continued, "If you maintain this quality, we can have long-term transactions and even expand our trade volume. If you can also provide staple foods like rice and flour, we can purchase from you at a daily transaction volume of one million."

"Thank you. We will discuss and give you a reply."

Although Yun Qingshui's attitude was cold, both parties were clearly satisfied with each other. Sheriff Lin even praised the cabbages he bought as being big and round, with a hint of immortal aura.

Thus, the overjoyed Old Xie quickly expanded the transaction volume, which soon exceeded one million. If it weren't for some other supplies and the need to stockpile some inventory, the transaction volume between the two parties could have reached 1.2 million directly.

The local bank in Changshan County became the biggest loser, having to run hundreds of miles every day to transport cash, with deposits not increasing but plummeting.

However, although the transaction went smoothly, the other party's attitude changed from warm to cold and indifferent.

Fortunately, the quality of the goods did not change, and Old Xie didn't know why, holding back a bellyful of anger.

Until one day, the other party suddenly stopped delivering goods.

A group of people waited until 12 noon, but there was no sign of the delivery on the road from Han Valley Pass to Changshan County.

Thankfully, there was some stock left, so the disaster victims didn't go hungry.

However, due to the lack of fresh vegetables, the quality of the meal had dropped significantly. It was even rumored that Sheriff Lin, who was eating at the construction site, was very dissatisfied.

This infuriated Old Xie, who immediately made a phone call, ready to confront them.
