The Rice Arrives

On August 12, before leaving get off work, Section Chief Li called everyone together again, because the rice issue was finally settled.

“Every person has 15 bags, each bag is 50 catties, and the total is 750 catties. The rice is hybrid rice, and the taste is not very good. Please bear with me.”

Gao Yuemei was the first to speak: “Section Chief, you are out of touch now. You are very lucky to be able to buy rice. Who cares about the taste.”

Others also expressed their gratitude one after another. The 750 catties of rice was one or two hundred catties more than previously expected. Everyone was too late to rejoice, so how could there be complaints.

“Section Chief, how much is the total? I’ll transfer the money to you right away.” Xiang Xin said carelessly.

Section Chief Li smiled and replied: “Everyone is lucky this time, the other party is eager to make a move, and 2,800 yuan for a bag of rice will do.”

2,800 yuan is indeed a conscience price. Xu Dong bought rice for his family before. Even for the cheapest hybrid rice, the official price has risen to 10 yuan per catty.

As for Panjiayuan, they are often several times the official price, and it is not surprising that it costs seven or eighty yuan a catty.

“Section Chief, what is the origin of this seller?”

Xu Dong wondered curiously, at such a time, the other party still has so much rice in their hands. Either this person is a reborn person like him, or he has great energy.

Section Chief Li hesitated for a while, and finally said: “Originally, this matter should be kept secret, but the other party is going to go abroad soon, so it’s okay to tell you.”

Everyone listened attentively.

“This seller, his family used to own a large supermarket. Otherwise, this businessman is more sensitive than us. When he saw that the momentum was wrong, he immediately stockpiled dozens of tons of rice.

Only recently, the situation has become less and less optimistic. The other party no longer wants to stay in the country, and plans to emigrate to New Zealand with his family.

But the export of grain has been completely banned from above, and this batch of grain must not be taken away, so the other party can only find acquaintances to sell slowly.

I was also lucky, I happened to know this big boss, that’s why I got this batch of rice, if we were later, we probably wouldn’t even get a hair. ”

“Section Chief NB!” Many people followed suit.

“Okay.” Chief Li waved his hand and said:

“I rented a warehouse near the South Fourth Ring RoadKu, all the rice was delivered last night.

When I get off work, I’ll take you there. I only rented the warehouse for two days, so hurry up and take your share back! ”

“Thank you, Chief.”

Next, everyone began to transfer money to the section chief. One bag of rice was 2,800 yuan, and 15 bags was 42,000 yuan.

But everyone discussed it, and everyone transferred 45,000 yuan. After all, the section chief spent extra money for renting the warehouse and shipping goods, and it was impossible for everyone to let the section chief pay back.

“You guys!” Chief Li smiled and shook his head, but he didn’t refuse.

…

After get off work, the five vehicles from the security department drove straight to the South Fourth Ring Road.

The warehouse that Kechang Li rented is not so much a warehouse, but actually a front room. Recently, all businesses have been depressed. This kind of vacant front room can be seen everywhere on the street.

“Xiao Xu, Xiao Gu, Lao Jin, and Lao Liu, Xiang Xin and the others don’t have a car, please give them a ride.” Section Chief Li ordered.

“No problem.” Xu Dong and the others nodded in agreement.

The power company paid them well. It’s not that Xiang Xin and the others couldn’t afford a car. The main reason was that they were reluctant to spend a lot of money on repairing their cars.

Xu Dong and Gao Yuemei have a good relationship, and the first person to send them off was her home.

===Section 51===

“You are Xiao Xu, thank you for the milk powder.”

Gao Yuemei’s lover stepped forward and handed her a cigarette. Judging by her attire, she should be an engineer.

“You’re welcome, I didn’t help much.” Xu Dong said politely.

After exchanging some pleasantries, everyone started to move the rice. Gao Yuemei’s house was on the fifth floor. Fortunately, there was an elevator, and the move was completed within ten minutes.

Gao Yuemei poured a glass of water for Xu Dong: “Xiao Xu, I’m bothering you again this time. You have a lot of family members. Would you like me to give you a few bags of rice?”

“No need, I also bought a lot of food in Panjiayuan, enough to eat.”

Xu Dong quickly waved his hands, these rice might be life-saving food in the future, he didn’t dare to get his hands on it, not to mention that there is no shortage of food in his own family, so there is no need for it.

“Alright then, come and talk to Eldest Sister when you need it.” Gao Yuemei insisted.

Xu Dong took a sip of water and said casually, “Let’s talk about it later!”

After delivering the first house, the second house is my colleague Lao Chen, who lives with his son’s family. The house at home is quite big, it seems to be two hundred square meters.

“Xiao Xu, sit down and rest.”

Xu Dong wiped his sweat and sat down on the sofa: “Uncle Chen, why didn’t you see Auntie?”

“She’s gone shopping, Xiao Xu, stay and have dinner together in the evening.”

“No, Uncle Chen, there is still rice in the car, and I want to go home early!” Xu Dong shrugged.

“What’s the rush, it doesn’t matter if you go back later, uncle has something else he wants to discuss with you.” Uncle Chen stayed.

In this way, Xu Dong was left behind.

At a little after 7 o’clock in the evening, the dinner at Uncle Chen’s house began. There were eight people sitting at a big round table.

Because I still have to drive, I didn’t serve alcohol.

After the meal, Uncle Chen called his eldest grandson to him:

“Chen Yang, this is your brother Xu, hurry up and say hello.”

“Hello Brother Xu.”

“Hello, Xiao Chen, which university did you graduate from?” Xu Dong asked.

Chen Yang seemed a little embarrassed: “Yanjing City College.”

“Good… school.”

Xu Dong has never heard of this school at all, so it is probably not a prestigious university.

After chatting with each other for a few polite words, Uncle Chen finally revealed his thoughts:

“Xiao Xu, Chen Yang just graduated this year. I want him to join our security department. Lao Li and I have agreed that you just have a vacancy at the North Gate. Please take care of him in the future.”

The establishment of power companies is generally a fixed number.

Uncle Chen planned to let his grandson join the company first, and after working for two or three years, he would just be able to take over his own class, so that he would be able to get the official establishment in a legitimate way.

“Uncle Chen, I agree to this, so don’t worry!”

Well, Xu Dong certainly knows what to do.

“Chen Yang, thank you Brother Xu.”

“Thank you Brother Xu.”

Xu Dong thought for a while. With such a big fanfare, Uncle Chen must have other ideas, so he came along:

“That’s good, we still lack a vice-captain at the North Gate, why don’t we let Xiao Chen take over!”

“Thank you Brother Xu.” Chen Yang thanked again without Uncle Chen’s reminder this time.

Xu Dong patted the young man on the shoulder, and said a few words of encouragement: “Work hard, our security department can also produce talents.”

Until after eight o’clock, Xu Dong took a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of moss wine from Uncle Chen, and finally drove away in a big car.
