Chapter 157: Zhao Gang’s thanks, written by Zhou Zhenghua.
Xu Dongsheng returned to the courtyard. Everyone was asleep at that time. Xu Dongsheng knocked on the door and it was Old Xu who opened the door. After entering the yard, Xu Dongsheng came back and sat down and drank two more cups with Old Xu before going into the room to sleep. Because the divination he got today did not show any skills or pills, Xu Dongsheng did not care.
The next morning, Xu Dongsheng and Lao Xu rode their bicycles out and arrived at the steel rolling mill early. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and Xu Dongsheng would not spend Laba Festival at home. According to Xu Dongsheng's estimation, his purchasing task this time might be very heavy.
Xu Dongsheng and Lao Xu had just arrived at the steel mill when they saw Wang Guoying, a lathe operator who had sobered up and came to the steel mill. Xu Dongsheng looked at Wang Guoying, greeted her, and then went to the purchasing department.
"Dongsheng, Dongsheng, wait for me."
Before Xu Dongsheng arrived at the purchasing department, a voice sounded from behind. Xu Dongsheng turned around and saw that it was Zhao Gang. This guy had been owed tasks for several weeks since he and Xu Damao were screwed. Later, Xu Dongsheng didn't care whether he had completed the tasks or not. But Xu Dongsheng guessed that this guy would not come to him for no reason. He suddenly came to him. Could he be trying to do something again?
Thinking of this, Xu Dongsheng did not stop his pace, Zhao Gang accelerated to the side of Xu Dongsheng. Erhei saw Zhao Gang and barked twice, which scared Zhao Gang, but because he had known that Xu Dongsheng had two good dogs, he saw that Xu Dongsheng comforted the dogs and they stopped barking, and immediately praised them for being good dogs. Xu Dongsheng was very upset and asked him what was wrong.
"Brother Dongsheng, don't be afraid. I know that some of my past actions have caused you to misunderstand me, but this time you really misunderstood me. I came here to thank you. Damao told me that a large part of the credit for Damao and I coming back is due to you.
Moreover, after the incident came out, there was no gossip in the factory. I knew that brother Dongsheng was a man who could accomplish great things. Although I, Zhao Gang, did not hesitate to use any means to get the job of a purchasing agent, I am a person who will repay a favor.
Brother Dongsheng, I'm going to say this today. If you need my help, just speak up. No matter if it means risking my life or going through fire and water, as long as you say the word, I, Zhao Gang, will not hesitate."
Zhao Gang came early today on purpose to wait for Xu Dongsheng, but he didn't expect Xu Dongsheng to arrive even earlier, so he had to chase him to catch up. Zhao Gang was still grateful to Xu Dongsheng. Fortunately, he didn't succeed in his attempt to deal with Xu Dongsheng, otherwise he would have ruined himself this time.
If the news of him and Xu Dongsheng being detained were to spread to the factory, he would definitely be fired. Even if he was not fired, he would certainly be criticized in a notice, and then there would be no way for him to be promoted in the factory. Blocking someone's future is like killing their parents. Zhao Gang would not ignore this life-saving favor.
That's why he came to Xu Dongsheng to say this. His words also shocked Xu Dongsheng. Zhao Gang really didn't come to cause trouble, but to thank him, and he also made such a big promise. Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Xu Dongsheng felt very comfortable after helping others and getting a thank you.
"We are all comrades, so I won't talk about these. I am also helping Xu Damao. Xu Damao and I are from the same courtyard. Although we are not close, we grew up together in the courtyard. And the big head was brought to you by your family, so I am not a big help. Okay, let's go upstairs. I think the section chief will be here soon.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I think the workload this week will be a bit heavy. I am a little worried whether I can finish it by then. "
Xu Dongsheng smiled and said to Zhao Gang, saying that it was just something that happened conveniently.
"Isn't it? I thought of that, but I believe that Brother Dongsheng will be able to do it. Brother Dongsheng has never done a particularly bad job in completing the tasks in the past few months, and I think there will be no problem this time. And I heard that we have a few more buyers who have been regularized in the past two days, so they should help share the difficulty of our tasks, right?"
Zhao Gang was also distressed when he heard this, but then he remembered that there were several new regular buyers in the purchasing department. He estimated that even if their tasks this week were difficult, some of them would be shared.
"Hopefully."
Xu Dongsheng nodded, but he felt no pressure at all. Then the two of them went to the door of the purchasing department and waited for the arrival of the section chief.
After a while, the registrar, the buyer who helped move the goods, and Zhou Zhenghua arrived at the purchasing department one after another. Seeing Xu Dongsheng and Zhao Gang waiting at the door of the purchasing department, Zhou Zhenghua nodded to Xu Dongsheng and then entered the purchasing department.
After Zhou Zhenghua entered the purchasing department, he came out after a while and handed an envelope to Zhao Gang and Xu Dongsheng respectively.
"Xiao Zhao, Dongsheng, this is your task for this week. I think you have guessed it. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. The factory has decided that on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone in the factory cafeteria will have four hot dishes. I think you know what this means. It means that you need to get a lot of meat, otherwise these four meat dishes will only be on paper.
If you can complete the tasks assigned to you, you should complete them. If you cannot complete them, you should also find a way to complete them. Of course, if you really cannot complete them, it is normal to fall short. If you complete them excellently or even exceed the target, the factory will reward you.
Okay, time waits for no one, go ahead, by the way, Dongsheng, you stay, I have something to tell you."
After handing the envelope to the two men, Zhou Zhenghua seriously told them that this week's task was indeed difficult and asked them to try their best to complete it. If they did, they would be rewarded. Then he let Zhao Gang leave and walked towards the stairs on the other side with a cigarette in his mouth.
Seeing this, Xu Dongsheng followed and looked at what was in his envelope as he walked. Unexpectedly, it was directly 300 yuan. Even if he got top-quality meat, it would take more than 400 kilograms. Then Xu Dongsheng took out the tasks inside, which were 100 kilograms of white wine and 250 kilograms of top-quality meat.
Wine can only be taken from the hemisphere space. As for pork, let's go to the countryside first and get as much as we can. However, Xu Dongsheng is also prepared to let the hemisphere space take out all the pork, because Xu Dongsheng is going to Dawangzhuang, because there is a black blind man in this village, and the four claws came from there.
This thing is full of treasures, and Xu Dongsheng doesn't want to let these things go to waste, so he plans to take some things to the countryside and exchange all the black blind things for some, some to make wine, some to use as medicine. In short, this good thing can't be wasted like this.
"Dongsheng, I know that this week's mission is difficult, especially the 100 kilograms of wine, but this mission was assigned by the director himself, saying that we must get it. That's what the canteen is used for discussing things.
If you fail to get it, you will probably have fewer orders next year, but if you do get it, you will have more orders next year. Even if your contribution is not credited, your hard work will be credited, and you will definitely be promoted to a level seven clerk at the beginning of the year.
But you still have to accumulate the results for next year's Level 6 or even Level 5 clerk qualification, so do you have the confidence that you can do this successfully?
However, if there is really no other way, you have to get 50 kilograms of liquor, and it has to be high in alcohol content. If it is low in alcohol content, you will be considered unsuccessful. In our purchasing department, there are three people who have received tasks like yours, but I don’t have much hope for them. It mainly depends on you.”
Zhou Zhenghua saw Xu Dongsheng take out the contents of the envelope, and knew that Xu Dongsheng knew about this week's task, so he told Xu Dongsheng that this task must be completed.
"Don't worry, Director. Even if I run myself to pieces, I will find a way to get the stuff. Grain is precious, but there are people who make wine. At least there should be some mixed grain wine. I'll go to more places to check, and there will definitely be some news."
Seeing Zhou Zhenghua entrusting him with an important task, Xu Dongsheng cooperated and promised Zhou Zhenghua that he would get the things.
"Not bad, you are energetic and courageous. In addition, I have something personal to attend to. The New Year is coming soon, and I have a few good friends here. I would like to ask you to get me some rare things. The time is not fixed, just get them before the New Year. The quantity is not limited, and more than two kilograms is a lot."
After praising Xu Dongsheng, Zhou Zhenghua also stated his request. Xu Dongsheng immediately knew Zhou Zhenghua's real purpose. It turned out that he wanted Xu Dongsheng to help him carry his personal belongings.
"Don't worry, Director. You know, I basically ask about these things when I go to the countryside. I will get the news for you. After all, you won't treat me unfairly, right?"
Xu Dongsheng nodded without thinking too much. After all, Zhou Zhenghua and Li Huaide were quite generous and anything they gave them was not an ordinary item. For example, the bicycle Xu Dazhuang was riding today was made by Zhou Zhenghua. He paid for the ticket and the money as well.
Xu Dazhuang started riding the bicycle two weeks ago. When it appeared in the courtyard, it caused a sensation. However, people in the courtyard are still digesting the previous events, so it did not cause much trouble.
"That's right. I promise you won't suffer any harm. Now go ahead. Your two dogs are tied down below. They bark at everyone they see. It's scary. Take them away quickly."
When Zhou Zhenghua saw that Xu Dongsheng agreed, he smiled and said something to Xu Dongsheng, then let Xu Dongsheng leave. Xu Dongsheng did not delay, went downstairs, rode his bicycle and headed towards Dawangzhuang.
