Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

"Wife, you are so hardworking."

When Sha Zhu heard Xiao Wu say that she had cooked the dish, he smiled and praised her.

After praising Xiao Wu, Sha Zhu then started to prepare for dinner:

"Now that the food is ready, let's eat."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, everyone started to get busy, some went to the kitchen to serve dishes, some went to get bowls.

After the food was served, everyone sat down and started eating.

Cai Quanwu was thinking about things while eating.

He was thinking about whether he should take the opportunity to get in touch with Director Li and get Guan Jiaqi to work at the steel mill.

Finally thought about it and let it go.

Although the steel mills performed well in the first few decades, they were no longer so after that. Overall, they are not as stable as the food system and do not have as many prospects as the food system.

If both he and his wife are in the grain system, perhaps they can produce three generations of grain people.

This was something that people later envied, jealous and hated.

Also, Director Li is not a good person. He dares to spy on Qin Huairu and might even set his sights on her wife.

After realizing this, Cai Quanwu gave up the idea and started working hard.

……

Time flies, and two days have passed since Cai Quanwu returned from the countryside.

On the morning of the third day, Cai Quanwu fished for a while in the cabin. Thinking that Director Ma had arrived, he got up and went to Director Ma's office.

It was time to deal with the wild boars he had shot.

"Director." Cai Quanwu greeted Director Ma the first thing he did when he entered the room.

"Quanwu, sit down. What's the matter?" Director Ma smiled and invited Cai Quanwu to sit down.

After Cai Quanwu sat down, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Director Ma, and then put one in his own mouth.

After lighting Director Ma's and his own cigarettes, Cai Quanwu explained his purpose:

"Director, if I can get a batch of wild boars, can I solve the problem of my wife quickly?"

Tsai went straight to the point without beating around the bush.

When Director Ma heard that it was about Cai Quanwu’s wife again, he frowned slightly.

He felt that Cai Quanwu was too impatient, as he came to him again today for the same thing he had just mentioned a few days ago.

However, when Director Ma heard Cai Quanwu say that he could get a wild boar, he did not refuse outright. He really couldn't explain the matter clearly.

How could he know everything the leader was thinking?

"Quan Wu, how many wild boars are you talking about? Are they the same as the one during the Chinese New Year last year?" Director Ma thought for a while, exhaled a puff of smoke, and asked about the details.

"Just more, no less." Cai Quanwu gave Director Ma an affirmative answer.

When Director Ma heard this, he thought, that’s quite a lot.

With so many wild boars, he definitely can't make the decision.

He was still hesitating whether to go to the institute to find the leader.

During this period, the institute and the bureau held meetings every day to discuss wage reform, and they were very busy. Director Ma really didn't want to go to the leadership at this time.

Looking at the hesitant Director Ma, Cai Quanwu decided to retreat in order to advance.

"Director, if this is really difficult, forget it."

"I originally thought that I was from the food system, so I told you first."

"Since the director is in a difficult situation, it just so happens that my nephew works at the steel mill, and he knows the logistics director there. Why don't I go find the logistics director there and see if I can get my wife into the mill."

Cai Quanwu knew that saying this might make Director Ma feel uncomfortable.

But we can't just let him do good things without asking for anything in return.

Director Ma just feels uncomfortable, but that is only temporary. As long as he still has value, Director Ma will not make things difficult for him.

Sure enough, after hearing what Cai Quanwu said, Director Ma frowned even more tightly and stared at Cai Quanwu, as if wondering whether what Cai Quanwu said was true or false.

If Cai Quanwu was telling the truth, and he was able to get in touch with the steel mill and sell these wild boars to it, he might get into trouble later.

Don’t think that just because it’s not a system, the leader won’t hear the message.

Forty-nine percent is really big if you say it’s big, but it’s really small if you say it’s small. A leader is more than just a leader.

Relatives, friends, comrades-in-arms, classmates, etc., the relationships are complicated, and who knows when the leader will hear the news from where.

When the leader hears about it, it would be fine if he has no objection, but if he has an objection, he will definitely be the one to suffer the consequences.

What leaders hate most is subordinates not reporting to them and making decisions on their own.

After staring at Cai Quanwu for a while and seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Director Ma sighed and said:

"You kid, you always give me problems."

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to report it to my superiors."

"Well, let's go to the station together."

"Hey, I just came back from the institute and now I have to run back to the institute again. I was born to be a hard worker."

After much deliberation, Director Ma decided to go to the institute.

Report the matter and let the leader decide, this way he can be removed.

If the leader doesn't agree, he will get nothing.

If the leader agrees, he will get some credit.

"Then thank you very much, Director." When Cai Quanwu heard Director Ma agreed, he immediately lowered his posture.

He really had no intention of offending Director Ma.

"Okay, let's go, stop being polite."

"If you really wanted to, you wouldn't have come to me."

I used to think he was a sensible guy, but now it seems that it was too early to make this definition.

Looking at Cai Quanwu again now, Director Ma doesn't like him as much anymore.

"okay."

Although Director Ma's tone was not very good, Cai Quanwu did not take it to heart.

He knew that he had been a little too hasty this time.

But for the sake of his wife, he couldn't care less.

At worst, once the matter is settled, I can go and apologize to Director Ma.

Afterwards, Cai Quanwu followed Director Ma out of the grain store, and the two rode their bicycles to the station.

……

After arriving at the institute and parking their bicycles, they walked towards the director's office.

Along the way, Director Ma greeted everyone he met one after another until he arrived at the director's office.

When they arrived at the director's office, Director Ma knocked on the door. After getting permission, he and Cai Quanwu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Director." After entering the director's office, Director Ma first greeted Director Chu.

"Old Ma is here." When Director Chu saw that it was Director Ma, he put down the documents in his hand and greeted him with a smile.

After Director Chu greeted Director Ma, he glanced at Cai Quanwu and said to Director Ma with a smile:

"If I remember correctly, this is Comrade Cai who brought wild boar meat to the institute last year."

When Director Ma heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Director Chu actually remembered Cai Quanwu. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he decided to come to the institute to report.

"Yes, Director, you have a great memory." Director Ma flattered Director Chu.

"Lao Ma, Xiao Cai, please sit down."

Director Chu first asked Director Ma and Cai Quan to sit down, and after they sat down, he joked:

"Comrade Cai solved a big problem for the institute last year. I have to remember it."

"It's all thanks to him that we can eat meat during the Chinese New Year."

“When you drink the water, remember the person who dug the well.”

Director Chu is worthy of being a leader. He speaks in an approachable manner, which makes people feel good about him.

When Cai Quanwu heard what Director Chu said, he quickly said modestly:

"Director, you are too kind to me. I was just doing my job. It was you who had foresight and helped the farmers solve their problems."

Director Chu was very happy to hear what Cai Quanwu said, and said to Director Ma with a smile:

"Old Ma, it seems that a strong general has no weak soldiers. Listen to what Xiao Cai said. I am embarrassed by your praise."
