My courtyard shelter

After finally getting to the end of the get off work day, Xu Dong ran out of the office like he was escaping for his life, leaving behind a bunch of disappointed people.

This "Xu Dong" is so slippery that he just won't nod his head no matter how many nice words he said, even when a beautiful female colleague came over. He is really heartless.

At the same time, the section chief's office was busy. Section Chief Li just hung up the phone with Assistant Liao, drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then immediately called Manager Wang of the Finance Department.

"Hello, is this Manager Wang? I'm Li Baoguo from the Security Department."

"Oh, it's you, Old Li. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Section Chief Li has been in the power company for decades. He is a typical old acquaintance and knows almost everyone in the company.

"Here's the thing. I have an employee who got a batch of margarine from somewhere. It's said to be produced in the bear country and made from whale oil. Do you need it?"

Manager Wang immediately perked up: "Yes, how much do you have?"

"Manager Wang, I can only give you five kilograms."

In fact, Section Chief Li had already divided the standards in his mind. The big leader Mr. Liao got ten kilograms; the managers got five kilograms each; the remaining directors and supervisors got only two kilograms.

As for the section-level cadres and ordinary employees, I can only say sorry, because I really can't divide them.

"Can't you give more?"

In fact, five kilograms of butter has exceeded Manager Wang's psychological expectations, but people are greedy.

"It's really not much. There are so many leaders in our company. I dare not favor one over the other. Please be more considerate."

"Who is that subordinate under you? He is very capable?" Manager Wang asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Section Chief Li did not dare to hide it, nor could he. "His name is Xu Dong, he is in his thirties. His family runs a big company. He may know many people and occasionally get some scarce products."

"Xu Dong? Well, I've made a note of this person. Introduce him to me later."

"Sure."

"Okay, five catties is five catties. What's the price?" Manager Wang continued to ask.

"Well, Manager Wang, this thing can only be exchanged for grain now. You also know the current situation..."

Manager Wang didn't care: "Okay, just tell me how to exchange it?"

"Rice is 20 catties for one catty, corn flour is 30 catties for one catty."

"It's not expensive. I'll send you the location of my community later. Just call me when you get there."

Section Chief Li immediately agreed: "Okay, I can't guarantee that it will be delivered within three days."

"Old Li, thank you for this!"

"Manager Wang, you are too polite."

...

After returning home, Xu Dong took advantage of the time in the evening to divide several portions of margarine, and then drove a small truck to deliver goods from house to house.

The first place he came to was Aunt Wang's house. This time he finally met Deputy District Chief Zhang, whom he had never met before.

"This is Xu Dong from your Aunt Zhang's family. The dried shrimps we had before were given to us by her." Wang Xiujuan introduced.

Zhang Kai stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Dong, smiling and saying, "We are about the same age. From now on, I will call you Lao Xu, and you can call me Lao Zhang!"

"How can this be done? You are older than me. I'd better call you Brother Zhang!" Xu Dong said modestly.

"Just call me Brother Zhang. It's more intimate to call me brother."

Wang Xiujuan strongly agreed. Although her son has a high official position, he is really not as good as Xu Dong in some matters, especially in terms of food.

"Okay, whatever you want." Zhang Kai is a more easy-going person.

"Brother Zhang, Auntie Wang, I got a batch of margarine these days. My mother asked me to send some to you to try. I wonder if you are used to it."

Wang Xiujuan took the beef and asked curiously: "Margarine? This is the first time I have heard of this thing!"

"Hey, it is actually made from whale oil, which is no different from ordinary cooking oil." Xu Dong introduced with a smile.

"This is a good thing, Xiao Xu, thank you! How much is the butter? Auntie will transfer the money to you." Wang Xiujuan said immediately.

Recently, the upper level has been stricter. Xu Dong also knows that people like Auntie Wang are very taboo about accepting gifts, so he quoted a fairly normal price:

"Then I will charge the cost price, a total of ten kilograms, and give fifty thousand yuan!"

Auntie Wang immediately transferred the money, and then pulled Xu Dong to chat for a long time.

After leaving Auntie Wang's house, Xu Dong went to Director Cao's house again. This time he didn't stay for long, and finally took away 150 kilograms of corn flour.

The next stop was Director Su's home. It was Xu Dong's first time here. Director Su and his family of three were all at home.

"Xiao Xu, thank you for your hard work." Director Su brought Xu Dong a cup of black tea.

Xu Dong quickly took it with both hands: "It's not hard. Your place is not far from my home. It takes at most half an hour."

"That's great. Come visit more often in the future."

"Of course."

After drinking tea, Xu Dong left.

At the same time, there was an extra 160 kilograms of rice in the car, and it was good quality Northeast rice.

Xu Dong knew that the other party must have misunderstood, but he didn't point it out. The other party was willing to exchange, which meant that they recognized the price. Why should he do this?

The last stop was Zhao Jian's home. Xu Dong called in advance, and the transaction process was faster this time, less than ten minutes.

Ten kilograms of butter were given away, and three hundred kilograms of corn flour were harvested.

Zhao Jian's side was crowdfunded.

Only by himself, he could not collect so much corn flour. Since the superior department strengthened supervision, the internal welfare of their company has almost plummeted.

…

In the next three days, Xu Dong was busy all the time, running around with Section Chief Li, almost all over the city of Yanjing.

Tonight, he finally delivered to the last one.

Although it was very hard these days, he also gained a lot of connections. At least he got to know almost all the middle and senior management of the company, and added a lot of private WeChat.

After sending Uncle Li home, Xu Dong helped him carry ten kilograms of butter and two watermelons upstairs.

"Uncle Li, I'm going back first. See you tomorrow."

"Go back and have a good rest. You've worked hard these days." Section Chief Li said with concern.

Xu Dong immediately frowned: "Then can I take a day off tomorrow?"

"What for?"

"Nothing, just want to have a good rest."

Section Chief Li laughed and scolded: "My old bones haven't rested yet, why should you, a young man, rest? Go to work honestly tomorrow."

"Alas, I was born to work hard." Xu Dong sighed.

Li Ke didn't even want to say anything, and closed the door directly.

Back to the courtyard, Xu Dong dragged his tired body, drove a forklift, and moved all the corn flour in the small truck into the basement.

After some sorting, he harvested more than 4,500 kilograms of corn flour and more than 400 kilograms of rice this time, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

With this batch of food, Xu Ma has enough to raise 100 chickens.
