The next morning, after sending off Nini and He Yushui, Wu Jianguo came to work. He had just arrived at the office when Zhang Suo came looking for him.
"Director, is there something you need from me?"
"Jianguo, you know that two leaders of our branch came yesterday, right?"”
Wu Jianguo nodded.
Director Zhang smiled bitterly." Jianguo, the higher-ups have given us a mission. They want you to get some unscheduled supplies to the branch office. Whether it's food, vegetables, or meat, the more the better. Is there any difficulty?"”
"Chief, how much do they want?" Wu Jianguo frowned.”It wasn't that Wu Jianguo didn't want to get them, but that he couldn't explain the source of the supplies if he got too many. If someone asked about so many unexpected supplies, it would be difficult to explain.
Superintendent Zhang was delighted to see that Wu Jianguo did not reject him. He also hoped that his comrades could have their fill, so he probed,"Ten…Ten thousand catties of grain?”
He had a lot of food, but there was no reason for him to take it out in large quantities, so he said,"Chief, to be honest with you, I can get food. I can even get 10,000 catties of food, not to mention 10,000 catties. It's just that the source of this food is difficult to explain.”
Zhang Suo's eyes turned red when he heard that. What year was it now? Even the 49th City could not eat their fill, let alone other places. If there were 100,000 catties of grain, the entire branch would not have to worry about it. Therefore, he held Wu Jianguo's hand excitedly and said,"Jianguo, can you really get 100,000 catties of food? Then you have to help. It's not easy for our comrades. I feel bad seeing their swollen faces.”
Wu Jianguo looked at the red-eyed Superintendent Zhang and sighed in his heart. It was too difficult these days, so he said,"A hundred thousand catties of rations isn't a problem, but my friend won't meet you. When he brings the rations over, I'll inform you to do so.”
Director Zhang was excited when he heard this." Alright, I won't ask where you came from, and I won't investigate. If anything happens, I'll take care of it."”
"Alright, then listen to my news. The truck will be ready by then."”
Superintendent Zhang nodded." Don't worry about that. You go ahead. I'll report to the two leaders now."”With that, he left in a hurry.
In the bureau chief's office.
Director Huang and Director Qian were discussing something. When they saw Director Zhang enter, Director Huang smiled and said,"Old Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Suo picked up the water on the table and gulped it down. He wiped his sweat and said, Jianguo nodded."
Chief Qian was delighted to hear that." He said how much food he will get. You have to know that we have a huge shortage. Right now, other than the heavy manual laborers and the troops, we are short of food everywhere.”
Director Huang also looked at Superintendent Zhang. Superintendent Zhang wasn't in a hurry and was slowly drinking the water.
"Old Zhang, say something." Chief Qian asked anxiously.”
Superintendent Zhang then said unhurriedly,"100,000 jin."
Director Huang's cup shook and water spilled all over his body. He didn't care about his clothes anymore and exclaimed,"What? 100,000 jin!"
"What are you shouting for? Aren't you afraid of being heard?" Director Zhang glared at Director Huang.”
Director Qian hurriedly stepped out and closed the door. His face was red as he said,"Old Zhang, you didn't lie. Although you're my old class monitor, if you lie, I'll definitely punish you.”
Zhang Suo then told him what Wu Jianguo had said. Director Huang said,"What you said is not a problem. The higher-ups asked us to solve it ourselves, so in theory, we are legal. Besides, if we don't say it, who knows?”
Chief Qian also said," That's right. If the higher-ups don't give us food and let us think of a way ourselves, they won't check where the food came from. You can rest assured about this. It doesn't matter if we don't meet. Anyway, it's fine as long as we can get food. To be honest, my family has a lot of people. It's not easy now. Even if you have money, you don't have anywhere to get food."”
Director Zhang was relieved when he heard that. Although he knew that the higher-ups in the ministry had said that they would raise their own food, there was too much food. He was also afraid that something would happen. Now that there were two bureau chiefs to take the blame, he was finally relieved.
"Alright, I'm relieved to hear that. I'll go back first and inform you when there's news.”
After Zhang Suo left, the two directors looked at each other and laughed. With 100,000 catties of food, they would not have to worry about food for at least half a year.
Wu Jianguo had just gotten off work and entered the courtyard when he heard Silly Zhu's voice coming from the courtyard.
"Xu Damao, you grandson. I'll beat you to death today if I let you spread rumors in the factory.”
Wu Jianguo frowned. He knew that it was Silly Zhu who was beating Xu Damao up. Seeing that Xu Damao had a good relationship with him, he lifted his legs and walked towards the middle court.
As soon as they arrived at the middle courtyard, they saw Silly Zhu riding on Xu Damao and beating him up. Lou Xiao'e was stopped by Qin Huairu and Aunt Yi and could not get close to him. The neighbors in the courtyard were also watching the show. The three old men were nowhere to be found. Xu Damao was wailing with a bruised face.
"Stop!"
Wu Jianguo shouted and Silly Zhu immediately stopped. After all, Wu Jianguo's police uniform was still intimidating.
Xu Damao got up and ran to Wu Jianguo.""Jianguo, you have to stand up for me.”
"Grandson, if you didn't spread rumors in the factory, would I have beaten you up?"”
"You can sue Xu Damao for spreading rumors, but it's wrong to hit him," Wu Jianguo said coldly.”"Xu Damao, you're the victim. Do you want to call the police?"”
Xu Damao covered his face and said,"I'll call the police. I want Silly Zhu to go to jail."?”
At this time, Lou Xiao'e also rushed over and said,""Jianguo, let's call the police. Silly Zhu is too much.”
"Nonsense! The matters in the quad should be settled in the quad. Besides, it's not a big deal. Why call the police?”At this moment, Yi Zhonghai walked out of his house and said.
"Yes, I agree with Old Yi. If we call the police, our hospital's reputation will be ruined.”Liu Haizhong licked his big belly and said.
Although Yan Fugui was also here, he did not say anything when he saw Wu Jianguo.
Wu Jianguo ignored Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong and said to Xu Damao,""Xu Damao, it's your right to call the police or not.”
Yi Zhonghai felt awkward when he saw Wu Jianguo refusing to let go. Wu Jianguo was supposed to be kicked out of the rolling mill, but for some reason, he was transferred away to become a police officer.
But no matter what, he couldn't call the police. He couldn't let anything happen to Silly Zhu. She was his old man, so he smiled and said,"Jianguo, we're all neighbors. We can settle it in the courtyard. There's no need to trouble the police.”
Wu Jianguo looked at the old silver coin Yi Zhonghai and sneered,"" Yi Zhonghai, if everyone is like you, why do you still need us police officers? Besides, your uncle's duty is only to mediate neighborhood disputes and prevent enemy spies. When he has the right to handle the case, it's Xu Damao's right to report it to the police. No one has the right to interfere!”
