Chapter 1359 This Way, You're Good, I'm Good, and Everyone's Good
Now that she had been blessed with a special advantage, she wanted to do her part and thought that if her uncle could handle the aftermath, she should ask him for help.
After all, when his family returned to the city, his grandfather said that the courtyard would be given to his family, and his uncle didn't complain at all, nor did his aunt utter a single grumble. This favor must be repaid.
So after settling things at home, he told Fu Yancheng that he was going to the city to take care of some business.
The next morning, I took a bus back to the city, since there were some things that were not appropriate to discuss over the phone.
Xiao Changjiang was somewhat surprised to receive a call from his niece.
Upon seeing the first snow: "Have you encountered some difficulties?"
Chu Xue glanced outside and, seeing no one was coming this way, closed the office door. "Uncle, I have a friend who can get a large batch of watermelons and wants to donate them to the disaster area, but like last time, he doesn't want to reveal himself. Do you have any ideas?"
Upon hearing his niece's words, Xiao Changjiang asked with a puzzled look, "Donating things without wanting to leave your name, is there some problem?"
Chu Xue quickly waved her hand and said, "Uncle, there's nothing wrong with the items, it's just that their origin is hard to say. Besides, if such a large quantity of watermelons were donated in his personal name, wouldn't that cause trouble?"
Xiao Changjiang realized what was happening and said, "That's true."
He coughed lightly: "This thing should be fine, right?"
Chu Xue nodded: "Don't worry, I wouldn't harm anyone but you, Uncle. Let me put it this way, these watermelons were grown by them deep in the mountains. They were originally going to go to the black market, but with such a big disaster, they wanted to do their part. They were originally going to just dump them at the gate of some government office, but I was thinking that instead of letting others benefit, it would be better for you, Uncle, so I came to ask if you could handle the aftermath?"
Xiao Changjiang felt a surge of warmth in his heart upon hearing Chu Xue's words.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Uncle won't stand on ceremony with you. Right now, all units are raising supplies, and our bureau is no exception. The dried fish and chicken and duck eggs you sent before helped us a lot."
As she spoke, she took an inbound receipt from the drawer: "Take this to the finance department later to collect the money. Consider it as if our company purchased it from you."
Chu Xue was about to refuse when Xiao Changjiang said, "How could your uncle use your things to gain fame for his unit? The fact that you thought of your uncle and brought the things over is already a great help to me."
Before Chuxue could say anything more, she said, "Listen to me, this way it's good for you, good for me, and good for everyone."
Chu Xue thought about it and agreed, then nodded and said, "Alright then."
Seeing that she agreed, Xiao Changjiang then asked, "How many watermelons does your friend have?"
I estimated it before the first snowfall: "It's about 10,000 jin (5,000 kg)."
Upon hearing the number, Xiao Changjiang couldn't help but gasp. If there really were that many, their bureau's task would be half completed. However, watermelons were not like grain or other supplies, and he couldn't make that decision on his own. "Wait for me a moment, I'll go and discuss it with someone."
Chu Xue naturally understood this as well. After all, the initial disaster relief supplies were mainly for filling people's stomachs. Watermelons were easily damaged and not durable for storage and transportation, and they were not life-saving supplies. It was indeed somewhat inappropriate at the moment. However, besides fish, these watermelons were the only other things she had in her space.
Xiao Changjiang returned shortly after: "Our bureau will take those 10,000 jin of watermelons, at four cents a jin. Is that acceptable?"
Chu Xue thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, watermelons can't fill our stomachs after all. I was just thinking about whether sending them over would have any negative effects."
Unexpectedly, my niece had thought of something deeper: "As expected of my niece, we have discussed it and decided to sell these 10,000 jin of watermelons to the employees at five cents per jin, and then use the money to buy supplies to send to the disaster area."
