"What do you think about the alliance?"

Director Cao continued to ask.

Li Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Chief Xu doesn't seem to have any ideas in this regard. It seems that I am being sentimental."

"No, he hasn't completely trusted you yet. It's too early to talk about forming an alliance. Don't worry, just take your time!"

Director Cao quickly comforted him.

Next, the teacher and student chatted for more than an hour, not only about Xu Dong but also about future work arrangements.

After Li Wei left, Aunt Cao came to the study specifically:

"Old man, how are things going?"

"Li Wei is absolutely willing, but Xiao Xu is a little hesitant. However, after some mediation between them, there should be no hostility between the two of them." Director Cao replied.

"It's good if they're not hostile, so as not to make things difficult for you in the middle." Aunt Cao was very satisfied with the result. .

"Li Wei is so unlucky!"

Director Cao couldn't help but sigh.

Aunt Cao shook her head: "Li Wei's luck is not bad. If he hadn't met you as a teacher, he might not even be a section chief. Old man, look at it clearly, you have not sorry to anyone."

Director Cao casually put out the cigarette butt.

"Don't worry, I don't feel guilty, I just feel a little regretful."

"What's there to regret? By the way, Xiao Xu, how much did you pay just now?" Aunt Cao asked instead.

"After transferring 100,000 yuan, the price is really expensive."

Director Cao was sighing.

Aunt Cao glared at her husband: "You still think it's expensive? No matter what time it is, I'd be happy with one million, let alone one hundred thousand."

"I didn't say Xiao Xu's prices were expensive. What I meant was that the current prices are too expensive, especially for food." Director Cao quickly explained.

"Huh, let me tell you the truth, Xiao Xu has been very kind to our family, so don't sit with your butt crooked. No one knows what will happen later, and the family still relies on Xiao Xu!"

Aunt Cao couldn't help but remind her.

Director Cao waved his hands and showed a wry smile:

"Xiao Xu has strong wings now. Even without my support, he can successfully take over my position."

"You just need to know it yourself. Even if Li Wei takes over your job, what can he help our family? Can he get food? Can he get meat?"

"Superficial." Director Cao muttered in a low voice.

"What? Who are you calling superficial?" Aunt Cao was angry.

"I didn't tell you."

"Bah, old man, let me remind you again. The salted fish, whale meat, and cooking oil we just ate were all the work of Xiao Xu. You should weigh it yourself."

"I now support Xiao Xu's succession. Didn't you see that Li Wei took the initiative to ask for devolution?"

Aunt Cao looked closely into her husband's eyes and realized that it didn't look like he was cheating. Only then did she feel relieved.

"Okay, you will find a chance to deal with the two buckets of milk powder that Xiao Xu brought tomorrow, and try to bring back more whole grains."

"Aren't you always complaining about back pain? Just keep the milk powder for yourself and drink it to take care of yourself!" Director Cao advised.

"I'm not sick. Drinking milk powder is just a waste of good things. The food stored in our family is still too little, and I always feel uneasy."

"How about more than a thousand kilograms? Isn't that too little for you?"

"Little, too little. I originally thought the drought would end in two or three years at most, but it's good now. I didn't know it would last until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse!"

If you look at the population of our family, let alone the second and third children, the eldest brother is already married, so he still has to rely on family subsidies, otherwise he will not be able to survive. "

The whole family was eating and drinking, and Aunt Cao was often so worried that she couldn't sleep the whole night.

"Well, you have to think about it. It's easy to change the milk powder out, but it's difficult to change it back again."

Aunt Cao waved her hand: "Think about it. Xiao Xu also said just now that the two barrels of milk powder are about to expire. They can be kept for half a year at most. If they are put away any longer, they will spoil."

"Okay, I'll make a call later. Milk powder is always a hot commodity. It's no problem to exchange it for three to four hundred pounds of corn flour."

Potatoes and sweet potatoes are not easy to store, so cornmeal is the first choice.

"When the corn flour is replaced, you can send fifty pounds to my son-in-law's family. Zhenzhen was still complaining to me yesterday, saying that there was not enough food at home."

Aunt Cao ordered.

Director Cao frowned: "I remember, didn't I just give away 30 kilograms last month?"

There are only three people in the son-in-law's family, and thirty kilograms of food is definitely more than enough.

"Her brother-in-law came over to borrow grain. He borrowed more than ten kilograms in one go. Her in-laws also provided a subsidy of five kilograms every month."

"It's nonsense. Forget it, the old man. What's the matter with my brother-in-law? You go back and call Zhenzhen and the others over. I want to have a good talk with them."

"Don't be angry. I'll notify them to come over this weekend."

"Let them come over on Saturday night. I have something to do on Sunday."

"What's the matter? You won't have to work overtime again, will you?" Aunt Cao said distressedly.

Director Cao shook his head: "This matter has something to do with Xiao Xu. Their department held a dinner party, and it's hard for me, as a boss, to be absent."

"Dinner? Do they still want to have a dinner now?"

"Let me tell you, Xiao Xu and his security department are really lucky. There is Lao Li in front of them, who helped them get seven to eight hundred kilograms of rice each.

Later, there was Xiao Xu, who would help them get some in-demand goods every once in a while, such as sugar, salted fish, emperor goose meat, etc., and he never stopped selling them. "

Director Cao took a sip of water and said with emotion:

"They are living a comfortable life!"

"So good?"

Director Cao nodded: "With this meritorious service, the security department is now very popular, and many people want to squeeze into their department.

It was hard to get a vacancy before, but because of the fierce internal competition, no one was willing to give in, and in the end it had to be given to an outsider."

Speaking of this vacancy, Sister Feng was also envious.

She had long wanted to get her little daughter in, but she didn't expect to be eliminated before she even started.

"It's a pity. My son-in-law's current job is only superficially glorious. I should have let him go to the security department of your company."

"That requires him to put down his face."

After all, in the impression of ordinary people, the so-called security department is actually a job to guard the gate, and there is no room for advancement. It is even more useless than chicken ribs.

...

Time passed quickly, and it was Sunday in a blink of an eye. The dinner time was scheduled at noon. There was plenty of time during the day, and there was no need to worry about curfew.

At 10:30 in the morning, Xu Dong drove a Mercedes-Benz with two large boxes of food to Sanhe Home Community.

The food this time was basically the same as last time, and only two large hot pots were prepared.

After putting down the food, Xu Dong rushed to Sister Feng's house without stopping. This was specially requested by Director Li. It happened to be a weekend holiday, and the other party was also free.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

Sister Feng opened the door: "Chief Xu? Why are you here?"

"I'm here to pick you up for dinner."

"What dinner?" Sister Feng looked puzzled.

Xu Dong explained: "The department organized a dinner party, everyone is here, Uncle Li will also come, and you are the only one missing at the moment."
