Director Ma thought Zhang Xudong wanted some benefit after hearing what he said, and said quickly:
"Commander Zhang, we are family now. Just tell me what you need."
Zhang Xudong took out two documents and handed them to him, saying:
"I don't need anything, I just need you to sign this document.
This proves that I submitted those materials to your management committee today.
If any problems really arise in the future, I can use this as an excuse and say that I have no idea what happened next.
I guess I've left myself a way out, after all, the risk of this matter is too great.
This document is in duplicate and I have signed it. You can sign it and take it away."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Director Ma cursed in his heart:
"What a little fox, so thoughtful."
Despite cursing, he took a look at the contents of the document and saw that it was the same as what Zhang Xudong said, so he signed it obediently.
Zhang Xudong took his document and said:
"Okay, I don't have anything to do here, you can go back and discuss it.
By the way, tell your people about this.
But the people who go there need to bring several months' worth of food.
We don’t have enough food to feed so many people until the fields are harvested.”
Director Ma quickly agreed, this was not a big deal.
These people need to eat wherever they go, so their food just follows them.
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Xudong did not raise any other conditions.
Just quit while you're ahead, your goal has been achieved.
Don't ruin big things for those petty gains.
When Director Ma came back again, the public trial was almost over.
"Commander Zhang, our director asked me to thank you on his behalf.
The situation was urgent, and he was anxious to catch the scum and recover the stolen goods.
So I can't come to thank you in person, please don't mind."
Zhang Xudong waved his hand and said, "Is this all for work? I don't mind these things. You are just too polite."
"Commander Zhang, our director has already made arrangements, and the dispatch certificates for the first batch of 100 people will be issued this afternoon.
Other formalities will be processed as soon as possible.
However, we are now going to conduct a comprehensive review of the team members, so the available manpower is a bit tight.
He hopes that your comrades will take the trouble to help send the person over tomorrow.
The team leader also said that we don’t have a suitable place to store those things.
After those items are recovered, please take away the stolen goods and other unrecorded items for safekeeping.
As for compiling and recording these things, this task is also given to you.
After the register is completed, you will keep it temporarily. Is that okay with you?"
After saying this, he winked at Zhang Xudong and whispered:
"I will try to pick out as many ownerless gold and silver jewelry for you.
You can decide how to register it yourself. We have so many things and so few people here that we don’t have time to keep records.”
Zhang Xudong's mouth twitched when he heard this. What was he trying to do?
Is this a disguised bribe? Am I that kind of person? You're looking down on me.
"Director Ma, forget about those gold and silver jewelry. They're useless. Just send them all to the bank.
We are poor in the countryside, so just let me take some of those porcelain bottles, bowls, jars, etc. home to pickle vegetables.
And if you have any old books, paintings, etc., please let me take some away.
There are no kerosene stoves in the countryside, so it is very troublesome to light a fire and cook every day.
It is very convenient to start a fire with those calligraphy and paintings.
If there are any old tables, chairs, beds, etc., we will also take them home and chop them up for firewood."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, Director Ma's cheeks twitched for a long time.
He is really a country bumpkin, so stubborn.
You don't want the benefits that are delivered to you, and instead want some junk. Where has your intelligence gone?
"How about that, Commander Zhang, if you have time these few days, you can go to the warehouse and choose for yourselves.
You take these two keys. All the miscellaneous items are stored in these two warehouses.
You can pull whatever you want. These things are not only useless but also take up a lot of space.
It would be great if you could help us deal with all of this. We are still worried about the lack of energy in the warehouse.
Those calligraphy and paintings are being prepared to be sent to the paper mill as raw materials.
Bottles and cans are also going to be smashed and sent to the landfill.
The furniture factories took away those old chairs and broken beds to use as materials, but they didn't even want them.
They said it had to be disassembled and processed, and that the wood was too hard to work on.
They would rather use new wood than this old stuff.
If those things weren't so hard to take apart, I would have taken them apart and burned the pot long ago."
After Director Ma finished speaking, it was Zhang Xudong's turn to have his face twitch.
How wasteful these people are! Don’t they know how valuable those things will be in the future?
What kind of wood is too hard and too heavy? If it is not hard and not heavy, can it be valuable?
Zhang Xudong quickly grabbed the two keys and said:
"Okay, no problem. We have everything in the countryside except soil and stones.
I just took these things away and gave them to my fellow villagers without giving them a share.
It's better to put those papers in the toilet to wipe your butt than to burn them.
You don’t know that many villagers are reluctant to buy toilet paper and use dirt and rubbish instead.”
Zhang Xudong's words made Director Ma's face turn green. It was not a very pretty scene.
"By the way, Director Ma, it's not very convenient for so many people to take the train.
Can you send a car? If not, I will contact our place to send a car to pick me up."
