Reborn in the 60s and adopted

As soon as Li Manqing heard this, he knew that Tang Mei had misunderstood and quickly explained.

She didn't want to have any rift with Tang Mei because of such a small matter. You know, Tang Mei was her most powerful gossip partner in the commune!

"Oh? Director Li, what do you want to talk to me about?" Tang Mei asked with interest.

"Oh, you weren't in town these past two days. Let me tell you, the son-in-law that Director Guo's eldest daughter found got into trouble and was arrested! Look, his eldest daughter has returned to our town alone, looking very dishonored."

Li Manqing said mysteriously.

"How do you know about this?" Tang Mei asked with some confusion.

"Hey, last night, they had a huge quarrel! I spent half the night feeding mosquitoes in the corner of my house before I heard this result from the quarrel between her sister-in-law and her." Li Manyqing said, gesturing what happened last night.

"Then do you know what her son-in-law has done wrong?" Tang Mei asked curiously.

"Alas, I didn't hear the specific situation very clearly." Li Manyqing shook his head helplessly, looking helpless.

Tang Mei thought to herself: I guess his family wouldn't dare to spread his affairs easily.

After all, once this kind of thing gets out, it will have a great impact on their family's reputation.

"Director Li, this is really good news! His family's biggest backer has fallen!"

Tang Mei smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents, and her face was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Yes, that's great! It would be even more perfect if his precious son could suffer misfortune together." Li Manqing agreed with a smile, a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Tang Mei smiled and shook her head: "Director Li, I'm afraid your wish won't come true for the time being."

Li Manqing scratched his head a little embarrassedly and laughed dryly: "Haha, I was just thinking casually. You should go to work quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if the secretary can't find you later."

Tang Mei nodded, chatted with Li Manqing about something else, and then waved goodbye.

She turned back to the deputy secretary's office, pushed open the door, and saw her father Tang Yongli leaning over the table, writing something attentively.

"Oh, girl, why did you come just now?" Tang Yongli looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost ten o'clock, and he couldn't help but complain.

Tang Mei walked to her desk, put her bag on the chair, and explained with a smile: "I was stopped by the director of women's affairs to gossip, which delayed me a bit."

Tang Yongli shook his head helplessly. He really had no way to deal with his daughter's habit of gossiping since she was a child.

However, when he heard that work was delayed because of gossip, Tang Yongli could only smile bitterly and said nothing more.

After all, although work is important, her daughter also needs proper relaxation and entertainment, and the girl's physical and mental health is also important.

"Dad, what are you writing?" Tang Mei walked briskly to Tang Yongli's desk, her eyes fell on his crooked handwriting, and she instantly lost interest in reading.

"Oh, I'm thinking about what should I do if I want to exchange coal tickets." Tang Yongli handed the notebook to Tang Mei with a smile, but he had already guessed what her reaction would be.

As expected, Tang Mei waved her hand and said, "No need, Dad. I'd better not watch it. It's up to you to decide. By the way, when are we leaving?"

"I was planning to leave early in the morning, but you're just here now, why don't we go now and bring Xiao Jiang along."

Tang Yongli silently put the notebook back on the table. How could he not know that his daughter disliked her ugly handwriting?

"Dad, you'll have to take the lead in the next few days! I'm still young, and if I go out to do things without you leading the way, people will definitely dislike me if I rush forward alone." Tang Mei stepped forward and massaged Tang Yongli's shoulders affectionately to express her gratitude to her father.

Tang Yongli was delighted when he heard his daughter's words: "Haha, that's right! You look like a little brat. As the saying goes, a man without hair on his lips cannot do things well. You can't shoulder this job alone. You just stay here and be your military advisor. Leave the charge to your dad!"

Tang Mei nodded repeatedly to show her agreement: "Yeah, Dad is the best! I still need to learn a lot from you. By the way, Dad, do you know how much coal costs per ton now?"

Tang Yongli nodded and replied: "I asked the cafeteria in our commune before, and they said it was about 38 yuan per ton.

However, I think the prices for large factories or government agencies like ours will definitely be different. So, let's wait and see and then we'll decide."

"Okay, let's set off now?" Tang Mei asked excitedly.

"Let's go!" Tang Yongli stood up swiftly, waved his hand, and took Jiang Qing and Tang Mei to the car bound for the county town.

Everyone was conserving their energy for the next task, and they didn't talk much. They got off the bus a few kilometers away from the county town, where there were key units in the county - cement and brick factories.

With yesterday's successful experience, Tang Yongli was even more confident today. At around 2:00 p.m., a group of people came to the cement factory and found the person in charge, Director Su, and handed over the deputy county magistrate's handwritten letter, just like yesterday.

After reading the handwriting and the bright red official seal, Director Su of the cement factory was very polite and said to Tang Yongli with a smile: "Hello, Secretary Tang! How do you want to exchange these coal tickets? In addition, can you tell me how many coal tickets you have?"

Tang Yongli actually didn't find out the price of coal tickets from other places, but since he had no one to ask for the time being, he simply asked Director Su in front of him: "We have a lot of coal tickets. How much does your factory charge for a ton of coal now?"

Director Su obviously didn't expect that the other party would come to his door without even knowing the price, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I thought to myself that this secretary was really special. He dared to discuss business without even knowing the market conditions.

So he replied: "The coal used in our cement factory is basically allocated by the higher authorities, and we rarely spend money to buy it."

Tang Yongli disagreed and said, "There must be some unplanned purchases. I have quite a few coal tickets. If you don't want them, I'll go to the brick factory next door."

Director Su of the cement factory was annoyed. Why was this man playing such a strange game? It was totally out of the ordinary! Could he be a newcomer to the officialdom?

After a few words, I wanted to move to the next door.

However, what Director Su didn't know was that Tang Yongli was actually very anxious at this moment.

Because he had already decided that he must get rid of all the coal tickets in his hands today.

If the cement plant cannot digest these coal tickets, then he can only go next door to find other ways.

Comrade Xiao Jiang standing by was so frightened by the tense and solemn atmosphere that he dared not speak. After all, he had really broadened his horizons today by seeing such a tense scene.
