Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Just as Lou Xiao'e turned around dejectedly and was about to return the same way, a bicycle bell rang out.

Sha Zhu rode his bike to the factory gate. When he saw the woman in front of him was Lou Xiao'e, he said in surprise, "Lou Xiao'e?"

"Why are you in our factory? Are you here to look for your spouse? I'll go in and shout for you."

After saying this, without caring whether Lou Xiao'e agreed or not, he pushed the cart into the gate of the steel rolling mill, then got on his bicycle and rode towards the Propaganda Department.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Propaganda Department, the head of the Propaganda Department just came out to get some water. Seeing Sha Zhu, he greeted him enthusiastically:

"Master He, who are you looking for so early in the morning?"

After all, he is the chef who cooks the best food in the cafeteria. It would be convenient if you can build a good relationship with him in case you need his help.

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "I'm here to look for Xu Damao. His wife is waiting for him at the factory gate. Chief Chen, where is Xu Damao?"

It is common knowledge in the factory that Xu Damao and Sha Zhu do not get along.

Section Chief Chen was a little surprised that Sha Zhu actually came to find Xu Damao. Could it be that the relationship between these two people has become better?

As if seeing his confusion, Sha Zhu said with a smile: "Hey! I am in a good mood because of good things happening to me, so I am happy to help others."

Section Chief Chen suddenly realized, "Master He, what good thing has happened to you that makes you so happy? Tell me about it."

As soon as he finished saying this, Sha Zhu immediately told the story that his wife was pregnant and he was about to become a father.

After that, he smiled and asked, "By the way, Chief Chen, why didn't I see Xu Damao? Where is he?"

"Xu Damao just said that his wife is not feeling well and he wants to take a leave to accompany her to the hospital for treatment. I approved his leave. I guess he has left the factory by now."

After hearing what Section Chief Chen said, Sha Zhu really thought that Xu Damao had gone out to look for Lou Xiao'e, and he didn't take the matter to heart anymore.

On the other side, Lin Donglai just arrived at the office and saw Section Chief Su standing at the door with a serious face. Only when he saw him did a smile appear on his face.

"Good morning, Chief Su!" Lin Donglai greeted him and planned to go back to his seat to get some water and wait for everyone to arrive before starting the meeting.

Before he could even sit down, Section Chief Su called him into his office to discuss something.

After Lin Donglai entered the section chief's office, Section Chief Su told him to close the door, motioned for him to sit down, and then said:

"Xiao Lin, you have been in the factory for a while. You have done an excellent job during this period, and the factory leaders have a good impression of you."

"It's like this. The factory held a meeting and decided to give everyone some food for the Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think should be given?"

Lin Donglai's heart skipped a beat. The steel rolling mill was a large factory with tens of thousands of employees. It was obvious how much food was needed to make enough food.

Normally, mooncakes or fruits should be distributed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but there are so many people in the factory, even if each person only gets one mooncake or one fruit, that would be enough.

It would be difficult for the supply and marketing cooperative to provide so many mooncakes, so the factory canteen could only make them themselves.

He should be able to get the flour for making mooncakes. After such a long time, a lot of wheat has been stored in the space.

However, the amount of nuts needed for the mooncakes was not small, and he was not sure he could get them in a short time.

Not to mention fruits. It’s hard to eat an apple these days, let alone get so many fruits.

Lin Donglai hesitated and didn't reply. Section Chief Su waited for a while and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Lin, what do you think?"

"Chief Su, I have an idea, but I'm afraid you won't be happy to hear it."

After Section Chief Su signaled him to continue, Lin Donglai said, "I was thinking that since the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, why not give everyone some mooncakes to celebrate the occasion."

"But mooncakes are not real things. They require too many ingredients. It's hard for our purchasing department to get them all in a short time."

"I think the factory should just give everyone some money or tickets, so that everyone can buy what they need themselves."

As soon as Lin Donglai finished speaking, Section Chief Su waved his hand, because he had mentioned this plan during the meeting, but it was rejected by Deputy Director Li on the spot.

He believes that distributing some appropriate food during the Mid-Autumn Festival can better reflect the leadership's care for employees than giving out cash notes.

It is also strongly recommended that the factory distribute moon cakes, fruits, etc. to everyone during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After listening to Chief Su's retelling, Lin Donglai sighed: If you walk on the road at night too much, you will always encounter that kind of thing. What you fear will come true.

Seeing Lin Donglai's embarrassment, Section Chief Su also sighed: "Xiao Lin, the task given to our department by the factory this time is not small."

Then he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Let's have a meeting together and see if anyone else has a better idea."

It didn't take long before all the people from the purchasing department arrived. After Section Chief Su explained the leader's arrangements, it turned out to be just as Lin Donglai had expected.

No one stepped forward to offer a good solution. The entire office was in total silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Section Chief Su said angrily, "With so many of you, is there no one who can help give us some advice?"

After a while, someone said slowly, "Chief, we are lucky enough to complete the task at hand. We don't have the ability to interfere with other things."

The other people nodded in agreement, but kept complaining like nagging women.

It simply means that after Li Rongfeng was transferred, his work was shared among them, and they had to run around to many more places and spend a lot of time to complete the task.

Section Chief Su didn't like listening to these people's complaints, and in anger he shouted, "That's it for today, disband." Then he went back to his office.

Only after a few old hands left the purchasing department did Section Chief Su come out of the office. At this time, Lin Donglai had not left yet.

He planned to pack up his things and go to the cafeteria to talk to them and see if they had any good suggestions on the matter.

"Xiao Lin, it seems that we are the only ones left to handle this matter. You are young and smart, so go back and think of a solution, okay?"

Section Chief Su thought for a moment and looked at Lin Donglai: "Don't worry, Xiaolin, this matter must be handled smoothly. I will never treat you unfairly."

"Chief, I will do my best. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

After saying hello, Lin Donglai left the purchasing office and walked towards the cafeteria.

When passing by the parking place, I saw Xu Damao sitting astride his bicycle, neither getting off nor pushing it out, and he looked like he was in a daze.

He deliberately cleared his throat. Xu Damao heard the noise and turned around. Seeing Lin Donglai's evasive eyes, he pushed the bicycle out in panic.

"Hey, Brother Damao, are you going to the countryside?"

Just after he finished speaking, before Xu Damao could reply, Sha Zhu popped out from the corner and looked very excited when he saw Xu Damao:

"Hey! Didn't Xu Damao ask for leave to accompany your wife to the hospital? Why are you still in the factory at this hour? Your wife must be waiting anxiously at the factory gate."

After saying that, she squeezed his shoulder hard and said, "Tell Master Zhu quickly, did you two go for a physical examination? Is it related to having a baby?"

Xu Damao gasped in pain, and after shaking off Sha Zhu's hand, his donkey face turned from white to black visibly.
