Chapter 247: Recruitment
The next morning, Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun appeared in the office of Mr. Ning, the administrator of the East Mall again.
This time they greeted the lady at the information desk downstairs, and she enthusiastically took them upstairs. It seemed that the gift they received last time touched their hearts.
She also quietly told Yu Duoduo that if he had arrived half an hour later, President Ning would have gone to the command center for a meeting, and they might not be able to see him today.
When Yu Duoduo walked in, the administrator, Mr. Ning, was holding a cigar close to his nose and smelling it. When he saw someone coming in, he stood up and greeted him with a smile.
Yu Duoduo didn't beat around the bush, "Boss Ning, we got a batch of good stuff this time, and we wanted to ask if you would accept it.
I heard someone say that this thing can't be found in the base mall, I don't believe it, so I quickly brought it to you to take a look and see if it's true!"
President Ning was intrigued by Yu Duoduo's words and raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Oh~? Something that's not available in my mall? Let me see what it is."
Yu Duoduo smiled and placed a large cardboard box in front of President Ning and opened it in front of him.
All I saw inside were vegetables and fruits packed in plastic boxes!
There were a total of 6 plastic boxes in the cardboard box, each containing 4 large sweet potatoes, 6 carrots, a handful of green beans, 4 tomatoes, 30 kumquats and 80 blueberries.
These were the fresh agricultural products that Le Yan distributed to everyone before they left the bunker. There was quite a lot of them, but Yu Duoduo only took a small portion and packed it in a box.
There weren't many things in the box, so Yu Duoduo used the most common method of reselling goods - over-packaging, to show the high-end and scarcity of these goods.
President Ning, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed on the cardboard box. This was simply unbelievable.
"Where did you get these fruits and vegetables?"
As Mr. Ning was talking, he had already opened the box of green beans.
The beans still retain the freshness of the day they were picked, and are so tender that you can hear a crisp sound when you break them.
Yu Duoduo said casually: "This was sent by a neighbor across the street from us, who said he grew it himself.
Because we moved to the base, we picked them all. But they are difficult to preserve and we can't eat them all at once, so we sent these over.
Mr. Ning, do you like this batch of goods?"
Yu Duoduo stared at Mr. Ning's face, watching the micro-expressions on his face. It was obvious that he was very moved!
"You guys really surprised me! Yesterday and today too!
How about this~ I'll make a price, and you guys decide if it's suitable. If it's suitable, I'll buy the goods for you. What do you think?"
President Ning lowered his voice and this time he was really asking for their opinions.
"Mr. Ning, that's too polite. Just make your offer!"
"One box is ten thousand, a total of 60,000 points. Do you think it's appropriate?" Mr. Ning asked seriously.
President Ning is so domineering! The boss of the base mall is so generous!
Of course, Yu Duoduo would not be so stupid as to think that a few boxes of vegetables and fruits were worth this price.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are indeed scarce or even extinct, but the 60,000 yuan does not represent the price of the physical materials, but the added value that this batch of materials can bring to General Ning, such as official awards and recognition.
According to Yu Duoduo, the base has three major players, namely base guards, base supplies, and base research and development and construction.
They are the three official units that are equally important within the base. There is no hierarchy between them, and they are all directly under the dispatch and appointment of the official command center.
Therefore, the purpose of the batch of fruits that Yu Duoduo exchanged today is the same as the research results reported by Leyan’s leaders to their superiors.
In a broader sense, it is for the long-term survival of the base; in a narrower sense, it is for the leaders to seek credit.
The leaders of the research center know the importance of vegetables and fruits to the development of the base, and Mr. Ning, who is in charge of materials, certainly knows it too.
Le Yan, that liar leader, had to show off in front of everyone, saying that the vegetables were grown by himself.
Then she would let the vegetables and fruits skip the research and development stage and put them directly on the shelves in the mall, leaving the liars nowhere to hide.
Yu Duoduo pretended to be incredulous and asked, "Boss Ning, is this thing really so valuable?"
President Ning smiled and looked at Yu Duoduo, "You little girl, you are so cunning, why would you give me something that is not worth money!
Okay, from the moment you took out that box of Cuban cigars last time, I knew you were not ordinary people.
Later I looked at it carefully and found that it was a commemorative collector's edition, which was rare even before the end of the world.
I don’t care what you did before coming to the base, but you are really capable!
I wonder if you two are interested in joining my team and working in the procurement office at the base?"
Yu Duoduo and Xie Yun were stunned by this question. President Ning was extending an olive branch to them to join the official team of the base!
Yu Duoduo looked at Xie Yun and saw rejection in his eyes... He was almost about to say the word "I don't want to".
I almost forgot that he didn't even want the title of doctor anymore. How could he want to be bound by the work at the base when living in the same room with her?
"Mr. Ning, we were just ordinary businessmen before, wandering around everywhere, used to being free and undisciplined. I'm afraid we'll let Mr. Ning down!" Yu Duoduo said with a hint of apology.
"Oh~! This is the first time I've been rejected so directly! It seems that you two young people are very thoughtful and confident!"
President Ning squinted his eyes, looked at the two of them, and chuckled for a while.
"Okay, then you don't have to join, but what you said last time when you came to my office, that you want to become a member of our mall's internal channels, should still count, right?"
"Of course! Of course we will! Whenever we receive something good in the future, we will bring it to you, Mr. Ning, for your review first!" said Yu Duoduo.
After listening to this, Mr. Ning turned his gaze back to the cardboard box, opened the blueberry box next to it, took out a large blueberry, and put it directly into his mouth.
The long-lost sour and sweet taste instantly exploded between the teeth, making Mr. Ning swallow several mouthfuls of saliva. His appetite was aroused, and he couldn't help but pick up the second one...
After eating five pills in a row, he realized his mistake, coughed twice strategically, and said:
"These are really good things. It has been extremely cold for more than half a year, and I thought they would become extinct.
The research center has spent a lot of manpower and material resources on planting and researching for more than half a year, but the result is just a bunch of wilted green beans. They are nothing compared to what you have!"
Yu Duoduo couldn't help but want to laugh, because it had been a few days since Le Yan picked the beans, and it was normal for the beans to wilt.
Moreover, the only two things he gave to the leader were beans and tomatoes. Probably because the tomatoes were bumped and squeezed on the way to the base, and some of them were bruised and crushed, and the leader was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he only handed over the beans.
After all, all of her supplies are stored in a space that can preserve them indefinitely, which is why they are so fresh.
"You said before that this was a gift from your neighbor. How much stock does your neighbor have? If he is willing, I can buy all of them at a high price!"
Yu Duoduo could see that Mr. Ning was serious.
