Siheyuan: This is really immoral

"No need to wait for me to get off work. Once these goods are unloaded and the accounting is done, I can go out."

"alright, got it!"

Then Lin Zhuang came to the side where these people were busy moving the goods. Lin Zhuang said to Deputy Director Li, "Director, after these goods are unloaded and the weight is calculated, I will continue to purchase and strive to deliver more food to the steel mill next time!"

Deputy Director Li would never disagree, and he didn't care whether this statement was true or not. This was originally Lin Zhuang's job, and it also brought him prestige and benefits. He patted Lin Zhuang on the shoulder and said:

"Well, you really are worthy of being the son of a martyr. You are going to the countryside to purchase supplies even at this time. Da Biao, you must propose to the factory to award Linzhuang the title of model worker. This work attitude is worthy of learning for all of us!"

Li Dabiao nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, Director, I will report this proposal and Lin Zhuang's spirit right away."

"No, no, Director, Section Chief, this is not necessary. There are so many workers in the factory who are worthy of our learning. I think this honor should be proposed to those who work harder..."

After a long wait, two people came over and reported to Deputy Director Li and Li Dabiao, saying:

"Director, Section Chief, the weights of rice and pigs have all been weighed and counted."

"How much in total?"

"The rice weighs 2268 kilograms in total, and the six pigs weigh kilograms in total."

Li Dabiao's eyes kept rolling. After hearing this, he silently calculated in his mind. For 800 kilograms of rice, the price difference of one kilogram is as much as 2300 or cents per kilogram. This... this is close to yuan in profit? The pig is close to kilograms. How much money can be made... I can't figure it out, but it must be a lot!

Deputy Director Li also silently pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose. If this happened a few more times, he would be able to earn a net worth of ten thousand yuan. The excitement on his face was completely concealed.

At this time, Deputy Director Li first pulled Lin Zhuang aside and said to him, "Lin Zhuang, the quantity this time is really too large. The price set by the factory can only reach 0.2 yuan per pound. It's not that I didn't tell you in advance. I have been meeting with the people above these days and still haven't been able to get the original price. The steel rolling mill is not very rich."

Lin Zhuang was very puzzled and asked, "Has our steel mill been in such trouble?"

"That's not the case. The main reason is that the market price is only 1.9 cents per pound. It was fine before because we didn't have that many, but now it's good to be able to get 2 cents for this volume. This extra 200 is 200 more!"

Li Dabiao explained to him patiently, and Lin Zhuang just asked out of curiosity. Anyway, the money would be in his hands. As long as it could be sold normally, one or two cents should not be his concern. But he still said deliberately:

"So that's how it is. I have to communicate with them about this. It shouldn't be a big problem, but Director and Section Chief, you still have to tell me about this kind of thing in advance, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it."

"Okay, we certainly didn't do a good enough job on this matter. By the way, what's the price of this pig?"

"Pork on the market is 78 cents a pound, but the price we get from the steel mill is 73 cents a pound."

Deputy Director Li calculated silently in his mind that as for meat... the price at the steel mill would definitely be 79 cents per pound. This price difference is incredible. He said:

"Okay, this is a great deal... The food for the people in our steel mill can be improved once in a while!"

Of course, these six pigs will not be slaughtered at once. It is estimated that they will only be given to the workers of the steel mill to eat during festivals or other important days.

Then Li Dabiao said: "Linzhuang, the money for the pork and rice will not be given to you until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, because the quantity needs to be reported to the higher authorities for verification of authenticity..."

At this point, Li Dabiao looked around and then whispered to Deputy Director Li and Lin Zhuang, "The price of pork is more negotiable than that of rice. Let's go back and discuss it."

Deputy Director Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is all so that we can find more pork for our steel mill workers next time. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. Our workers cannot be weak and stay at their posts."

After all the goods were moved, Li Dabiao instructed several workers to fetch a few buckets of water and rinse the truck loaded with pigs. He also poured a bucket of cold water on the pigs. It was a hot day and the pigs were tied up. It would be bad if they got heatstroke.

Lin Zhuang didn't expect that Li Dabiao, who looked big and strong, could be so thoughtful. Fortunately, the matter here was over, so he turned to the two of them and said with a smile:

"Then I will go purchase supplies first, and work hard to get more food for our steel mill!"

At this time, Deputy Director Li pulled Lin Zhuang and winked at Li Da Biao. Li Da Biao suggested knowingly: "Lin Zhuang, Deputy Director Li has something private to tell you. I will go and direct the workers to put these things into the warehouse first, you two can talk."

Then Li Dabiao sent away several nearby workers, leaving enough space for Deputy Director Li and Lin Zhuang to talk.

After seeing the idle personnel nearby clear out, Deputy Director Li whispered to Lin Zhuang, "Lin Zhuang, when can the next batch of supplies be delivered?"

Lin Zhuang was very surprised to hear this. Although Deputy Director Li was very greedy, it was impossible for him to be so eager to know the next batch of rice after just receiving this amount of rice. He couldn't help asking:

"Director Li, we just made a deal, what is this...?"

Deputy Director Li said with a bit of pride: "It's like this. Our steel mill has been having extra food recently. Some of my friends in the factory asked me about it. When I told them, they kept asking me for you. How could I give you anything? You are an important talent in our factory, but under their pressure, I had no choice but to ask you if you have any extra food for them."

"Director, this doesn't follow the procedures..."

Lin Zhuang was delighted, as this was a timely help, but he could not agree to something that was against the rules.

Deputy Director Li raised his eyes and immediately assured him:

"These are all old friends. Although they know you exist, they don't really know your specific information. Rules are rigid, and we also want the people in other state-owned factories to eat a little better."

"This... won't someone report it or something?"
