My courtyard shelter

When he saw the news of the evacuation, Xu Dong quickly contacted Gao Yuemei, who was far away in the beautiful country. If the other party regretted it, this was the best opportunity to return to the country, and it was free.

After a while, Gao Yuemei replied: "Xiao Xu, eldest sister has also seen the news, but we have submitted the application for investment immigration and will not go back in the future."

What else could Xu Dong say, except to send blessings.

Then he asked curiously: "Sister Gao, what projects have you invested in?"

Gao Yuemei: "A local indoor farm is said to be the largest in the world in terms of design scale and the most technologically advanced, with a total investment of more than 50 billion US dollars!"

Xu Dong praised: "The project is quite good, almost guaranteed profit."

Gao Yuemei: "Indeed, two-thirds of the factory has been completed. I heard that it will be put into trial operation in August this year."

Xu Dong admitted that he was envious: "Congratulations, Sister Gao, just sit at home and wait to receive the money!"

Gao Yuemei: "Zhang Fan and his uncle helped find the project. I heard it was not open to the public. We had to go through a lot of connections before we got an investment quota."

Xu Dong gave a thumbs up in return, then chatted a few more words, and the chat ended.

When it was lunch time, Xu Dong took his lunch box and prepared to go to the cafeteria to get some food.

The food in the cafeteria was getting worse and worse. Every day there was only clear soup and little water, forcing him to go back to the office and turn on a small stove.

After returning from the meal, Xiang Xin was already waiting aside with a lunch box.

"You obviously left later than me, why did you come back earlier than me?" Xu Dong asked strangely.

"I'm a pregnant woman, so I don't have to queue." Xiang Xin said proudly.

Xu Dong patted his head and almost forgot about this.

"Boss, take out the pickles quickly. We're just waiting for dinner." Xiang Xin urged from the side.

Xu Dong looked at the door first, and then took out a bottle of pickles from the drawer. The pickles were fried by Xu's mother herself, using home-pickled Chinese cabbage and adding a little diced pork.

"Didn't you bring pickles yourself?"

"My pickles are not as oily as your pickles. The pickles made by my aunt are the best pickles I have ever eaten in my life."

It's not that Xiang Xin's in-laws are reluctant to give up. No matter how stingy they are, they can't wrong a pregnant woman. There is really no need to give up.

Unless it's the New Year or the holidays, there won't be any oil or water on the ration card all year round.

Pregnant women can get extra rations, and occasionally a little sugar and pork, but forget about anything else.

In fact, there are tens of millions of tons of soybean reserves in the country, but these soybeans are mainly used to make tofu. In the era of meat shortage, tofu is people's main source of protein.

Oil extraction is too luxurious and can only be supplied on a small scale.

"Pour it yourself!" Xu Dong unscrewed the bottle cap.

Xiang Xin carefully poured a little pickle, for fear of pouring too much. A person must know how to measure, only in this way can the water flow smoothly.

Xu Dong couldn't stand it: "I'll do it!"

He took the bottle of pickles, pointed it at Xiang Xin's lunch box, pulled it twice with a spoon, and poured a big dollop directly.

"Thank you, boss." Xiang Xin almost smiled.

"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank the baby in your belly!"

Xiang Xin took the opportunity to suggest: "Boss, how about you become the 'godfather' to the baby?"

"Don't!" Xu Dong quickly shook his head and said, "There are already five debt collectors in my family, and I don't want one more."

"Maybe I have a little princess?"

"It's useless for the little princess. There are already two in my family. The noise every day makes me dizzy. You should find someone else. I really don't have the luxury to enjoy it." Xu Dong declined.

"Don't you regret it?" Xiang Xin said proudly. Mothers always think that their children are the best in the world.

"There's nothing to regret. You'd better eat quickly and don't let others see you. I don't have enough pickles."

Xiang Xin could only give up this plan temporarily.

…

After get off work, Xu Dong came to Section Chief Li's office carrying gifts prepared in advance, mainly to thank him for helping Xu's father a lot when he was in prison.

As for Aunt Wang, Xu Dong visited her yesterday. Through this incident, the relationship between the two families was greatly shortened.

"Uncle Li, I brought strawberries to my aunt." Xu Dong said and put down the gift.

Section Chief Li stepped forward to take a look, frowned and asked, "Why are there still cigarettes and alcohol?"

"Thank you for your help with my dad's matter last time. If you have a little thought, please don't refuse." Xu Dong explained.

"What happened last time was just a few phone calls. I didn't put in much effort at all. I just accepted the strawberries and milk powder. You should take the other things back!" Section Chief Li waved his hand.

"Uncle Li, how much you contribute is secondary. Your consideration is the most important. I must express my gratitude. This is also what my father meant."

Speaking of Father Xu, Section Chief Li asked with concern: "How is Mr. Xu? He's not suffering in there, right?"

As expected, this Xiao Xu's family owns a company, which is quite large, and is also an important partner of Qixing Xiachuang. It seems that he has a good background at first glance.

"No, thanks to those phone calls you made, everyone in the police station took good care of my dad."

"It's okay if you don't. Please ask Mr. Xu to pay attention to it recently. I think someone is obviously deliberately framing your company this time." Section Chief Li reminded.

Xu Dong nodded: "Don't worry, we already know who is behind this. Manager Yuan from Qixing Xia Chuang has already said that he will not let the other party off easily this time."

In fact, the most angry person in this matter is not Xu Dong and his son, but Manager Yuan.

Manager Yuan has recently performed well at work and is very likely to be promoted to department manager. At this critical moment, someone is actually tripping him up. It would be strange if he is not angry.

"This kind of person really needs to be dealt with." Section Chief Li echoed.

Xu Dong saw that the time was almost up, so he said hello to Section Chief Li and was about to leave, but he didn't expect the other party to stop him again.

"Wait..."

"Uncle Li, is there anything else?"

"There is something I almost forgot to tell you. There are 17 passenger ships coming to Tianjinmen Port tomorrow.

The local police force is a bit insufficient, and the General Administration has transferred us to support. I think you should lead the team tomorrow!" Section Chief Li ordered.

The reason why Xu Dong was asked to lead the team was purely to give credit to the other party. Section Chief Li knew that he would retire in a few years, so he wanted to train a successor.

"Where did the ship come from?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"It came from the Philippines. They have already started the operation there. This is the first batch, with more than 100,000 people in total." Chief Li replied.

"Do you need to bring guns?"

"What are you thinking? You are just auxiliary and help. Why bring guns? You are too timid."

Xu Dong smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Li, it's not that I'm timid. It's really that there are too many guns in the Philippines. I'm afraid that there are some criminals among these people."

"Don't worry, those who can get on the ship must have been screened in advance, and nothing will happen."
