My courtyard shelter

"Lao He, you are here, who is this?"

He Jinfeng quickly introduced: "This is Director Zhang of our branch. Director, this is Section Chief Xu."

"Chief Xu, hello!"

Director Zhang looked friendly.

Xu Dong reached out and shook hands with the other person, and then handed out a cigarette to each of them.

"Director Zhang, nice to meet you!"

"Chief Xu, I heard from Lao He that you have a batch of sugar here that you want to sell to our branch?"

After Director Zhang took the cigarette, he went straight to the point.

Xu Dong smiled and shook his head: "I don't have sugar. Our company got the sugar through internal relationships. I'm just an errand boy at most."

"Chief Xu, you are too humble." He Jinfeng complimented.

"Is it so obvious?" Xu Dong said humorously.

"Hahaha……"

The three of them laughed at the same time.

After the laughter, Director Zhang put on a serious expression: "Chief Xu, let's not talk secretly. Can sugar really only cost 3,000 yuan per pound?"

"Yes." Xu Dong nodded.

"No other conditions attached?"

"No, our company is sincere, Director Zhang, don't think too much about it!"

Director Zhang took a long puff of cigarette.

"Chief Xu, I would like to thank you on behalf of our branch. You don't know how scarce food is here in Rehe. This batch of sugar came in time."

"Yes, our family has no jobs, and now we only eat one meal a day. We try to save an extra bite of food, but we are afraid that our two children will suffer." He Jinfeng said bitterly.

Xu Dong quickly echoed: "Life is not easy for us over there. Everyone is pretty much the same, but fortunately we still have some connections in our company, and occasionally we can get some small benefits."

"This time it is our branch that takes advantage." Director Zhang said with emotion.

"It's not a blessing." Xu Dong waved his hand, "It should be said that there is mutual benefit. Gu Haiyuan's matter is thanks to your help."

"Yes, mutual benefit. Chief Xu, how do you think we should deal?"

Xu Dong had already thought about it.

"It's definitely inconvenient to go to the bureau to make a transaction. How about this? My car will be parked here for the time being. You can call home and notify your family members to come and buy. Director Zhang, what do you think?"

"This method is good, Chief Xu, just do as you say!" Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, but I still have two small requests. I hope you can agree to them."

"Chief Xu, you...just say it. If we can agree, we will definitely agree." He Jinfeng stuttered, fearing that the duck in his mouth would fly away.

Xu Dong smiled and persuaded: "Lao He, don't be nervous. It's not a big deal. The first request must be a cash transaction."

"This is totally fine, but what about the second one?"

"The second requirement is that you'd better bring your own container for sugar. I have nothing prepared except an electronic scale."

"This is easier. Are there any other requirements?"

Director Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party had changed his mind temporarily, but it turned out that they were just two small requests.

"No, I will be here before twelve o'clock noon. You can arrange the order of purchase. Don't come around all at once. It is better to keep a low profile for this kind of thing."

"No problem, we will arrange it."

Director Zhang quickly assured.

Only an hour later, the first buyer appeared. She was a middle-aged woman in her early forties. Her face was a little sallow, but her overall complexion was pretty good.

"Are you Section Chief Xu?"

"I am, eldest sister, are you?" Xu Dong said politely.

"My surname is Hu, please call me Sister Hu. I heard that you sell sugar here, and our boss Zhang specially asked me to come over." Sister Hu introduced herself.

It was none other than the director’s wife.

In fact, there is nothing surprising. As the head of the branch, he still has this priority.

"Hello, Sister Hu. Sugar is in the car. Let's get in the car and talk!"

Xu Dong immediately opened the car door and welcomed the other party into the car. There were many people talking on the street, so it was more convenient to go in the car.

"Chief Xu, your car isn't cheap, is it?"

"A second-hand car doesn't cost much." Xu Dong responded casually, "Sister Hu, how much do you want to buy?"

Just before they parted, Director Zhang had already hinted that the bureau would not make a big deal, and they would allocate their own shares. Xu Dong only had to "act according to the rules."

"Lao Zhang said it's ten pounds."

Xu Dong nodded, it was not too much.

"Where to pretend?"

Sister Hu took out a few black plastic bags from her handbag and said, "Put them here. Put a few more layers in them. I'll pack them back later so they won't be scattered."

Xu Dong nodded.

The sugar packaging bag had been opened in advance. Xu Dong started to put the sugar into the plastic bag. When it felt about the same, he put it on the electronic scale and weighed it.

It wasn't heavy enough, so I added a few more cups.

"Sister Hu, look, no more, no less, exactly ten pounds." Xu Dong pointed at the display screen of the electronic scale and said.

"Thank you, Chief Xu."

Sister Hu looked at the big bag full of sugar, and her whole body was shaking slightly with excitement. She thought she was trading "flour"!

"You're welcome. It's a fair sale."

Sister Hu patted her chest to calm down, then took out a bag from her handbag and handed it over with a smile:

"Chief Xu, there is thirty thousand yuan in it."

Xu Dong took it casually, checked it briefly, and threw it directly into the paper bag beside him.

"Money is fine."

Sister Hu picked up the plastic bag, took another look at the remaining sugar, and finally got off the car with gritted teeth.

"Chief Xu, if there is a chance next time, you must take care of my old Zhang more!"

"Definitely!" Xu Dong nodded.

Then, almost every ten minutes, a family member came to trade, and the smallest share was four kilograms.

Among them, He Jinfeng, as the main contributor, got a share of eight kilograms. This woman who only ate one meal was so thin that only a layer of skin remained on both sides of her cheeks.

...

It was close to noon, and only the last three family members were left. Xu Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead. The previous female family member had made a move after getting on the car, trying to take advantage of him.

The purpose was nothing more than to buy more sugar.

Fortunately, he was determined and did not get confused, so no dog-blood plot happened.

"Uncle Xu, hello..."

Another family member came over. This time, it was a girl of 16 or 17 years old. After a brief introduction, it turned out that she was the daughter of the deputy director.

The girl's mother was busy with work, and she happened to be at home during the summer vacation, so her father drafted her into the army.

The girl was very cheerful, and Xu Dong couldn't help but chat with her for a few more words.

But he didn't expect that.

This chat actually caused trouble.

Suddenly, a group of aunts surrounded him and pressed Xu Dong to the ground without saying a word.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Xu Dong was confused.

The leading aunt ignored Xu Dong and pulled the girl over to comfort her.

"Little girl, don't be afraid, auntie will take care of it for you."
