Guan Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then a look of vigilance appeared on his face.
However, this look of vigilance was fleeting. After a quick thought, he asked with a smile in his eyes, "Brother, you know, my position is very sensitive. The Logistics Department is a really lucrative job, and the Task Management Office has considerable authority to allocate resources independently. So, I don't know how many people in the company are watching me.
I trust you won't cheat me, brother. What exactly is this so-called business like? If you're asking me to embezzle company assets, then forget it. I wouldn't dare, and I absolutely don't have the guts to do it. Even if I did, neither you nor I would be able to escape the company's supervision. It would all be for nothing, and there would be no point at all."
Chen Yan drank the coffee in his cup and said with a smile, "Deputy Minister Guan, I certainly won't make things difficult for you. But from what you said just now, I can tell that you are also very troubled by the resource allocation of the Task Management Office.
The board of directors must meet their daily needs while not affecting the company's overall strength. However, the board of directors doesn't care how hard you work, only the results of your work. How unfair is that?
If you use all your resources on tasks that have a positive impact on the overall interests of the company and ignore the daily enjoyment of the board of directors, then even if you do a good job, the board of directors will still be dissatisfied with you, right?
Guan Wei sighed and nodded helplessly, "That's right. The bigwigs are so high up there that they don't care how difficult our work is. But the board's thinking is actually quite reasonable. If they can't get better material comforts, then what's the point of them risking their lives to become the rulers?"
My job is to find the right balance between the two. I need to ensure that the directors have adequate material comforts while not impacting the company's normal operations and releases. There can be some shortcomings on both sides, but one cannot be severely lacking. I have to strike a balance."
Chen Yan nodded and said, "I understand. Vice Minister Guan, don't worry. The zero-pollution water outlet has been temporarily closed. I know it's impossible to reopen it in a short period of time. After all, water is the source of life and is indispensable. However, when the number of people is small, the actual consumption is actually limited.
Furthermore, there are low-level substitutes. The contaminated water isn't unusable for the elite, it's just not as pleasant to use. Therefore, it's difficult for the elite to abandon their principles for the sake of uncontaminated water. Ultimately, there simply isn't enough water.
Having said that, Chen Yan suddenly reached into his arms.
Taking advantage of the cover of clothes, he took out a piece of loose chocolate from his arms and handed it to Guan Wei.
Bulk chocolate made with cocoa butter substitutes costs only twelve dollars and fifty cents per pound in the supermarket.
But when Guan Wei saw the chocolate, his eyes lit up.
Subconsciously, she reached out and took the chocolate that Chen Yan handed to her, hesitantly saying, "Chocolate? Can I...try it?"
"Of course, I'm bringing it out for you, Vice Minister Guan, to taste and see if it meets the collection standards of the Mission Management Office."
Chen Yan smiled and nodded.
When Guan Wei heard this, he immediately threw the chocolate into his mouth.
After chewing it and feeling the chocolate melting in his mouth, Guan Wei's face showed hesitation.
He said, "Brother, I'm not lying. This piece of chocolate definitely meets the standards for completing the collection mission. However... the chairman once gave me a piece of his favorite chocolate. From a taste perspective, the chocolate the chairman likes is obviously richer than the one you found."
So if all the chocolate you find is this kind, I can have the Task Management Office deliver the task for you, but the quantity will definitely be limited. I need to give it to the chairman to taste first to see if he can accept this slightly inferior taste. What do you think?
kindness?
Is the chocolate the chairman likes richer than this bulk one?
Doesn't that mean that the chairman of Kahn Company doesn't eat chocolate made with cocoa butter substitutes, but chocolate made directly with cocoa butter?
Tsk...it's been fifty years since the Cataclysm, and they still receive such treatment. This is even more shocking than the luxurious life of the rich...
Thinking of this, Chen Yan shook his head and said, "No need to go to so much trouble. Since this kind of chocolate doesn't meet the chairman's requirements, I won't use it to hand in the task. I'll just give it all to Deputy Minister Guan. As for the kind of chocolate the chairman likes, I can find it over there too. I'll use that kind of chocolate to hand in the task later."
Guan Wei was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "Give it to me?! Seriously?! Brother, don't tease me... This chocolate may not be as good as the one the chairman gave me, but it's still chocolate after all. If I sell it to others, it will definitely fetch a sky-high price!"
Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "Deputy Minister Guan, you're being polite. I've been so successful in the company these days thanks to your care. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to thrive so well. It's just a little chocolate. How can it compare to the love we share?"
Guan Wei was overjoyed when he confirmed that Chen Yan was not joking.
He directly put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulders, patted him vigorously, and then asked cautiously: "Brother, I wonder... how much are you going to give me? Can you give me... uh... 500 grams? Although the reward for the chocolate collection task is not high, this thing is really too difficult to get.
If I hadn't turned in the task at the Task Management Office, I could definitely sell it for a premium. Of course, I couldn't possibly sell the chocolate you gave me, brother. I was mainly using it as a gift and a way to build relationships. So if there were too few, it wouldn't be easy to sell..."
Chen Yan extended a finger directly towards Guan Wei. Facing Guan Wei's puzzled look, he said magnanimously, "Deputy Minister Guan, I never give gifts by the gram. This "one" doesn't mean one catty, nor ten catties, but one hundred catties. I will give you a full one hundred catties of chocolate."
"One...one...one hundred pounds?!"
Guan Wei was shocked.
The whole person's breathing also became rapid.
He was confused and thought he had misheard.
Things like chocolate are real luxury goods in the wasteland today.
Even if the quality is not that high, generally speaking, if you can get dozens or hundreds of grams, it is not a small amount.
He suddenly said he weighed a hundred pounds...are you kidding me?!
Although one hundred kilograms is not particularly exaggerated when measured by the price of the collection task, the problem is... the company's collection task price is actually out of stock!
