Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

28

"Only a mule would work week after week.

"Yang Jun hit back unceremoniously.

The grain station is different from other institutions. It also requires staff to be on duty on Sundays. Because in Li Tiezhu's eyes, ensuring the people's livelihood issues is a priority, and holidays are also normal.

"I think you are the beast. If I were Feng Yangjiao, I would not be able to hold on if this batch of grain is not taken away today. Many departments are eyeing it.

"

Yang Jun was a little surprised. In just a few days, they had collected 70,000 kilograms of grain. Li Tiezhu was quite quick in his work.

"Didn't I tell you to send it over here?"

"I'm giving you your head! We have ten vehicles, five of which are used to transport grain from other places, three are used to collect grain from rural areas, and one has a problem. How are you going to deliver so much grain and supplies?" Li Tiezhu became emotional when he talked about the vehicles.

After listening to his words, Yang Jun thought for a while and then said to Li Tiezhu:

"Okay, I got it. I will report it to my supervisor immediately and have a car go there to get it.

Boy, you better keep a close eye on them. There must not be any shortage of food before I come."

"Hurry up!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Jun went straight up to the third floor and entered the office of Deputy Factory Director Li.

More than ten minutes later, Deputy Director Li sent Yang Jun out with a smile on his face.

Back in the office, Yang Jun instructed Lao Wei to take people to store the previously purchased grain in the steel mill warehouse, and asked the people from the purchasing department to take the purchase list to the driver's team to dispatch vehicles.

Half an hour later, Yang Jun came downstairs with two colleagues.

A total of ten first-generation Jiefang trucks had been waiting for a long time, and they were manned by more than thirty strong workers who were temporarily dispatched from various work sections.

When the workers saw Yang Jun appear, their spirits suddenly became high and they vied with each other to move the grain as soon as possible.

In the past, giving each person one pound of flour was considered generous, and it was rare for them to eat two pounds at most. This time, Yang Jun announced 70,000 pounds, and the steel mill was in a state of excitement. If nothing unexpected happened, each person would be allocated three pounds of flour, which, combined with the storage at home, would be enough for a sumptuous dumpling banquet.

Yang Jun examined the vehicles and thought that ten Jiefang trucks with a loading capacity of 4.5 tons should be enough, but to be on the safe side, he still assigned ten.

He waved to the workers to wait, and they waited patiently.

Not long after, a man and a woman in dirty work clothes came running over, with a heavy wooden box hanging across their waists.

These two people were technicians temporarily transferred from the machine repair workshop. They were originally there to help Li Gangtou solve a truck breakdown at the grain station, which also helped him out of his urgent need.

As soon as Yang Jun saw the two people arrive, he asked them to get in the car, and then took the two employees from the purchasing department into the jeep.

The jeep was specially approved by Deputy Director Li to enhance the image of the steel mill.

Accompanied by Yang Jun, the clerks were two women - Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan.

Considering the gender differences, they naturally cannot be squeezed into the same car with a group of rough men.

Yang Jun started the vehicle and drove out of the steel plant, followed by ten trucks, forming a huge convoy heading to the grain station.

When they arrived at the destination, he asked the steel plant workers to stay where they were, and then led Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan to Li Tiezhu's office.

When facing their respective subordinates, Yang Jun and Li Tiezhu maintained formal courtesy and never called them by their nicknames.

After a brief discussion, the two decided on a plan. Then, Li Tiezhu summoned the head of the grain station's finance department and took the two ladies to handle the relevant handover procedures.

Next, the two left the office area and came to a huge grain warehouse, asking the administrator to open the door. The mountains of grain in front of them were neatly arranged like small hills, and packages of packaged grain were waiting for their inspection.

Under the supervision of the administrator, Yang Jun gave a decisive order, and a team of nearly forty people from the steel plant ran excitedly towards the food.

Seventy thousand jin of grain is a considerable amount. Each bag weighs fifty jin, and at least one thousand and forty bags are needed to pack them all. The task of each person carrying at least fifty bags is not an easy one.

Therefore, Yang Jun left Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan in charge of the account records, while he and Li Tiezhu went to the office to rest and drink tea.

"Old Yang, you've been back for so long. Have you contacted your old comrades?" Li Tiezhu blew the foam of the tea leaves in the cup and rarely called Yang Jun by his nickname.

Yang Jun was startled when he heard this, and felt that something seemed wrong.

"Not yet, what's going on?"

“In order to raise this batch of food, I used the connections of many old comrades.

When they heard it was your request, they immediately allocated money to it. Your charm, Mr. Yang, cannot be ignored." Li Tiezhu put down his teacup, raised one foot, and explained with narrowed eyes.

"Since you knew you were going back to the army, everyone has been eager to try, hoping to see comrades whom they haven't seen for many years. Maybe we can find some time to get together with all the old brothers in Beijing." Li Tiezhu continued.

After understanding the meaning of Li Tiezhu's words, Yang Jun understood.

It was customary for old comrades to get together, but he knew in his heart that the people at the gathering might not just be random comrades, but must be prominent figures, perhaps those who held positions in the army or those who still had great influence after returning to the local area.

People without positions or qualifications are probably not on the invitation list.

This reflects the real social law: those with official positions and those without official positions are like two separate groups.

It is rare to see civilian soldiers at leadership gatherings, and even if they are there now, they may be excluded next time.

Comrades’ gatherings allow people to strengthen their relationships, rekindle old friendships, and exchange contact information so that they can support each other if they encounter difficulties at work in the future.

However, this relationship is beneficial within the framework of moral laws and does not disrupt the balance of society.

"Leave the party to me. I'll let you know once the date is set," Yang Jun told Li Tiezhu.

(

=3D=3D=3D=3DTwo and a half hours later, Luo Xiaomei came up and said the car had been loaded.

Yang Jun and Li Tiezhu went downstairs together to check and confirm that the money and goods had been delivered correctly.

Then they went back to visit two mechanics who were repairing the machines. It would probably take another hour, so Yang Jun gave them some brief instructions and told them to go back as they pleased. He then drove the convoy loaded with grain back to the steel plant.

As soon as the group returned, the whole factory was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Looking at the trucks loaded with food, everyone felt sincerely happy about the upcoming hearty New Year's Eve dinner.

Luo Xiaomei and Wang Haiyan, who stayed behind, were busy storing grain in the warehouse, while Yang Jun returned to his office alone.

I had just made a cup of tea and hadn't had time to taste it when Deputy Director Li came to visit in a hurry.

"Xiao Yang, thanks to you for solving such a big problem for me.

On behalf of all my fellow workers, I would like to express my deep gratitude to you.

"

Deputy Director Li held Yang Jun's hand tightly and spoke with a smile on his face, and it seemed that he was still not satisfied.

"Brother Li, why are you being polite? Your business is my business! Besides, as the head of the supply department, this is my responsibility. We don't have to be so rigid about etiquette."

Li Huaide slapped his hand slyly and said, "Not only everyone in the factory is grateful, but I am also grateful to you personally. You have helped me a lot. Tell me, what kind of return do you want?"

"Brother Li, this is what I should do. If you must show some appreciation, just a ticket for a bicycle will be enough and I will be satisfied.

"

Yang Jun knew very well that Deputy Director Li was truly grateful.

If he kept refusing, it would show a gap, and he was afraid that his refusal would make the other party misunderstand that he was just doing his duty and not trying to be considerate.

So he made a clever request, hinting at his expectations while also really needing a bicycle ticket to solve his personal travel problem.

“Xiao Yang, you are so thoughtful. Even if you didn’t tell me, I was going to leave a bicycle ticket for you.

How about changing your request?

“Thank you, Brother Li. I will be satisfied with just a bicycle ticket.

"

At the end of each year, the steel mill always gets a few extra bicycle tickets to reward managers who have performed outstandingly, of course not just ordinary employees on the production line.

For example, old man Yi Zhonghai, who has a technical level of eight and has worked hard for many years, still cannot get this small gift.

Those bicycle tickets have become hot items among senior executives in various positions, and it may take several years before one comes along.

The allocation of tickets has never been related to personal performance. Those who have worked hard all their lives may only get a bunch of empty titles of advancedness, while those who are only interested in profit often get more tangible benefits.

"Brother Li, I will have no problem completing my grain task. As for the pork, it will take some time. Don't worry. If I can't accomplish it within four days, you can just fire me from my position as section chief.

"Yang Jun took the opportunity to bring up the pork issue in advance, so that Deputy Director Li could rest assured.

He checked the space early in the morning. After six days of copying, there are now more than 4,800 kilograms of pork. In another four days, it will reach 80,000 kilograms. When the time comes, after paying 50,000 kilograms, he will still have 13,000 kilograms as his own private property.

“Xiao Yang, I’m most assured in your work, as long as you can distribute the benefits in time before the New Year.

"During the holiday, the factory will be closed on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Now there are less than ten days left until this day, and the date given by Yang Jun is more than enough.

"However, Brother Li... pig feed is private property after all. I asked someone to collect it from the village, so it cannot be reimbursed from the public account.

What are your plans? "Considering the arrangements four days later, pork cannot be circulated publicly, Yang Jun took advantage of the deputy factory director's good mood to bring up the matter.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Li laughed heartily and said:

"It's a small matter, you don't need to worry about it.

Our factory has 20% over budget every year.

This part of the budget is used to buy food.

We will directly provide you with the delivery location when the time comes.

"

He paused for a moment, then continued:

“Of course, you have to explain it to your friends in advance. If you don’t use the official account, you can’t pay with the meat coupons. But we are also willing to pay 10% more in cash.

Xiao Yang, do you think this is a good approach?

“This arrangement is fine, no problem.

"Yang Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

“How did you know…?”

Zhuzi was so frightened that his mouth was half open, and his expression was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost.

In the morning, he was racking his brains in the cafeteria to think about how to meet with Teacher Ran. As an educated person, he did not want to lose his composure, so he thought about imitating the scenes in costume dramas, pretending to be a teacher and speaking some fashionable words.

He had never mentioned this matter to anyone before, but he didn't expect that the other person could tell what he was thinking right away.

"Hey, Zijun, you are really a god, I now completely believe that what you said is true.

"

In excitement, Zhuzi held Yang Jun's hand tightly and said, "You really have the ability to predict the future, right? Can you tell me whether Teacher Ran and I can be together?"

Yang Jun shook off his hand with annoyance, thinking that judging from the direction of the original drama, this would most likely not work.

After traveling through time and stopping Sha Zhu from selling the old man's wheels, everything seemed to have changed, and Ran Qiuye's impression of Zhu was no longer bad.

However, according to the original plot, even though he knew that Zhuzi had done this, he still asked him to help prepare the banquet, which shows that he was quite satisfied with Zhuzi.

If that part of the plot wasn't there, I'm sure the impression would have been better.

Maybe there is a real possibility between the two of them.

"Can!"

Yang Jun replied firmly, taking advantage of Zhuzi's superstitious mentality and giving him timely encouragement so that he could pursue Ran Qiuye wholeheartedly.

“Okay, that’s enough, I’ll go back and prepare now.

"

After getting the promise, Zhuzi was overjoyed and immediately stood up and went back to prepare.

"and many more.

"

Yang Jun handed over a bath ticket and said, "Go take a bath first, change into clean clothes, and don't forget to shave.

"

From a distance, the pillars are filled with the smell of oil smoke, and anyone who gets close to them will suffer.

“Brother Zhuzi, go home directly after taking a shower. I’ll go buy the ingredients.

"

"Junzi, this... this isn't good. How can I trouble you again?"

Zhuzi seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Yang Jun waved his hand to interrupt him and said:

“It’s not a waste of time. I also want to let my girlfriend taste your cooking skills.

"

"Okay, then I'm getting a great deal, right?"

After saying that, Sha Zhu turned around and left the office.

Yang Jun stayed in the office for another hour. Seeing that it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, he turned off the stove, put a new coal ball in it, locked the door, said hello to his neighbors, and left the factory.
