Chapter 41: Milk powder again
"Mr. Xu, I wonder what you mean by making this call?"
Xu Dong went straight to the point without beating around the bush:
"I want to sell these electric fans. I wonder, Boss Wang, if you want to buy them back?"
"Yes, of course I do!"

Boss Wang quickly stated that with the current hot market conditions, you can still make money even if you buy it back at a high price. read
"Okay, since I want to sell and you also want to buy, let's make an appointment to discuss it in detail?" Xu Dong suggested.
"Okay, I'm always available here."
Xu Dong considered that he would have to go to work during the day tomorrow, so he said:
"Then let's go to seven o'clock tomorrow night. You can come to my house, or I can go to your place. It's your choice."
"I'd better come here in person!" Boss Wang replied immediately.
He actually had a small calculation in mind and wanted to take the opportunity to confirm the batch of electric fans to avoid being cheated.
"Then it's settled. Seven o'clock happens to be dinner time at our house. Let's chat while eating. I'll send the address to your mobile phone later."
"Okay, see you tomorrow night."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong made an OK gesture to his mother, then talked about the meeting and asked Xu's mother to cook more dishes.
…
Early the next morning, Xu Dong drove the Daben to send the Coco sisters to school and went to work on the way as usual.
During this year's May Day holiday, because the reconstruction work is far from over, the country only took a symbolic day off.
Besides, there is a shortage of supplies in the market, people are panicked all over the country, and no one is in the mood to travel.
When he arrived at the north gate of the company, Xiao Wang saw his boss running and immediately opened the retractable door. Xiao Cheng, who was standing guard, also saluted Xu Dong with a military salute.
Xu Dong lowered the window and nodded at the three of them.
Come to the parking lot, park the car, put the car cover on Daben, then go to the office, check in and clock in, then make a cup of green tea and chat with colleagues.
Near nine o'clock, I put on my security uniform and went to the west gate.
After more than half a month of getting along, Xu Dong has completely integrated into the power company and is used to commuting to work on time every day.
"Brother Xu, morning!"
"morning…"
After saying hello, as usual, Xu Dong gave each of his three subordinates a cigarette. This was considered a small benefit in the guard room!
After briefly arranging his work, Xu Dong leaned on his chair and read a book. It was not a physical book, but a certain online novel that Xiao Huang specially recommended to him.
Xu Dong was hooked immediately. This thing is very suitable for killing time, much better than playing games. After all, games tend to lose their freshness after playing for a long time.
Just when he was enjoying watching, Xiao Huang suddenly came up and said:
"Brother Xu, I would like to take two days off."
Xu Dong put away his phone, raised his head and asked concernedly: "What's wrong, are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
Xiao Huang shook his head and immediately explained: "The police station near my home is recruiting auxiliary police officers. I signed up before and will take the written test tomorrow."
As the unemployment rate rises sharply, in order to cope with the increasingly severe public security problems, major cities across the country are urgently expanding their police teams, and the auxiliary police are a good supplement.
"This is a good thing. You can go to the exam without worries. I agree to the leave." Xu Dong said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Xu!"
"Thank you for what you are doing? Take the exam well and I'll wait for your good news." Xu Dong encouraged.
Xiao Huang smiled bitterly: "I hope so, but with my body, I might not be able to pass the physical examination."
"Huang Yan, it's best to find some connections in your family. It shouldn't be a big problem." Xiao Wang had similar experience, so he suggested from the side.
Xiao Huang nodded: "My mother said the same thing. My uncle happens to work in the hospital. I don't know if it will work."
"Why are you thinking so much? Let's pass the written test first." Xu Dong was afraid that the other party would think too much, so he quickly comforted him.
Xiao Wang also echoed: "The recruitment of auxiliary police is not very strict, it will definitely work."
Xiao Huang regained a little confidence, and then nodded solemnly.
The morning passed quickly, and soon it was lunch time again. Xu Dong came to the cafeteria with his hands behind his back.
Compared with half a month ago, the food standard in the canteen has dropped a lot. There used to be seven or eight meat dishes, but now there are only five left.
After a while, it is estimated that these five meat dishes will not be preserved. By then, you will be able to eat whatever is available, and everyone will no longer have to worry about choosing dishes.
"Brother Xu, this way!"
Xu Dong took a closer look and saw that it was Xiang Xin waving to him, and there were two other female colleagues at the same table.
Although he was reluctant, Xu Dong still walked over. This time it was definitely for snacks.
Xiang Xin looked at Xu Dong's dinner plate and said strangely: "Brother Xu, it's hard to have meat today, why don't you order some shredded pork with green pepper?"
As the saying goes, rare things are more valuable, and pork is much more expensive than seafood right now.
"I hate eating green peppers."
Xu Dong made up a reason casually. The real reason was that there was no shortage of pork at home, and bacon and ham were almost always available.
On the other hand, seafood is hard to buy. The family has not eaten seafood for more than a week, and the twins have long been clamoring for prawns.
"That's such a pity." After Xiang Xin finished speaking, he immediately picked up a small piece of shredded pork and put it on Xu Dong's plate, "Here, have a taste!"
Alarm bells blared in Xu Dong's head. He was being courteous for nothing. It seemed that the three female colleagues must have something big to ask for.
"Taste mine too."
"I'll give you a bigger piece of meat."
Xu Dong quickly covered the plate, his mouth twitching, and said with a bitter face: "I've said it so many times, my snacks are really finished, don't worry about it anymore."
Gao Yuemei is the oldest of the three female colleagues. She is 52 years old this year and will retire in three years. In terms of seniority, she is second only to Section Chief Li in the department.
She shook her head and said:
"It's not about snacks. This time, my elder sister wants to ask you for something."
Xu Dong saw that the other party's tone was low, it should be a serious matter, and immediately corrected his attitude: "Sister Gao, if you have anything, just tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
"There's no rush for this matter, let's eat first and talk after we finish eating." Gao Yuemei said politely.
"Okay!"
Xu Dong deliberately sped up his eating speed. In less than ten minutes, the food was eaten up. After returning the plate, he also took a piece of watermelon.
"Sister Gao, can you tell me now?"
Gao Yuemei nodded and said, "Xiao Xu, I know you are capable. Can you help me get a can of milk powder?"
In fact, Gao Yuemei was also trying her best. Among the people she knew, only Xu Dong was a real rich man. Rich people definitely have more channels than ordinary people.
Xu Dong was a little crazy. Why is it about milk powder again? He never mentioned triplets in the company. At most, he just mentioned it.
This is weird!
"This..." Xu Dong hesitated, "I can only ask for help. I dare not guarantee whether there is one."
You can't refuse directly, otherwise it will seem insincere and it is easy to offend people. As for whether to help or not, we will talk about it later.
Xiang Xin immediately interrupted and said, "Brother Xu, please help Sister Gao. Her grandson has just been weaned and cries every day. He doesn't eat well. Sister Gao is almost worried to death."
"Hey, Xiao Xu, Sister only needs a can of milk powder to get through this month. You must help Sister. Price is not a problem. Sister is willing to pay any price." Gao Yuemei begged.
