Not long after Guan Wenru returned to her office at the factory, the phone on her desk rang.
She quickly picked up the receiver. "Hello?"
He Yanzhi's deep, familiar voice came through, tinged with static, "Wenru? It's me."
"!" Guan Wenru's eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, and her voice was light and cheerful, "He Yanzhi! How are things on your end? Are you alright?"
Her anxiety finally subsided a little.
The fact that he can make phone calls means he is safe now.
He Yanzhi could tell she was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up. "Everything's fine here, don't worry. How's Grandma? Is she alright?"
"Everything's fine." Guan Wenru subconsciously touched her bulging belly, her tone natural. "Everything's fine. Don't worry about home while you're on the front lines. Take care of yourself!"
"I know. Oh, by the way, I made a phone call to my old comrade-in-arms in the capital."
"?" Guan Wenru blinked. "Why are you looking for your comrades?"
"I asked him to help me buy some things, including malted milk powder, some snacks that are only available in the capital, red dates, brown sugar, and biscuits in a tin box. I bought a bunch of random things."
Guan Wenru: "Huh? Why buy all this? It's such a long way! It's too much trouble for them!"
The main thing is... she really doesn't lack food.
He Yanzhi chuckled, "It's no trouble. He'll send a package home in a few days. Don't be surprised when you receive it. Just eat it all, don't be stingy."
Although she had plenty of food, Guan Wenru still felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears. "Commander He, when did you become so thoughtful about these things? Okay, I got it. I won't be surprised when the package arrives. Eat as much as you want!"
The two chatted for a few more minutes.
He Yanzhi was silent for a few seconds.
When he spoke again, his voice suddenly became very low, "Be a good girl and wait for me at home."
Guan Wenru's fingers tightened around the receiver, her throat tightened, and she gently placed her other hand on her lower abdomen. "Okay, we'll wait for you to come back. Please be careful!"
"Okay." He Yanzhi pursed his lips. "Then I'll hang up."
Guan Wenru suppressed her emotions and said, "Okay."
A moment later, a busy tone came from the receiver.
She slowly put down the receiver, her hand remaining on her abdomen for a long time.
The "we" she just mentioned naturally includes the three babies in her belly.
I wonder if He Yanzhi will be scared when he comes back and sees three more kids in the house!
...
Knowing that He Yanzhi was safe, Guan Wenru finally slept soundly that night.
The next day, she arrived at the factory early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, Director Liu of Hongqi Commune and Director He of Qianshan Commune were already waiting at this time.
I don't know what time they left home.
She quickly invited the two of them into her office.
There were two contracts spread out on her table.
"Come on, Director Liu, Director He, take a look first. If there are no problems, we'll sign it."
The two directors couldn't wait to pick it up and take a look.
After confirming that there were no problems, the two took out their pens, signed the contract, and stamped it.
After Guan Wenru signed and stamped the document, she gave them their share.
Director Liu, beaming with joy, held the signed contract. "Director Guan! It's a pleasure to cooperate! You know the demand of our Hongqi Commune; several livestock teams are starving! For this first batch, could you perhaps send us one ton? We've already prepared the money!"
Director He quickly chimed in, his tone earnest, "Yes, Director Guan! Although our Qianshan Commune is facing some difficulties, we're determined this time! Whatever red flag you give us, we'll grit our teeth and keep up. Give us a ton first to tide us over! Your feed is working incredibly well in our Yuejin Team! Old Wang is ecstatic!"
One ton?
Guan Wenru picked up her teacup, took a sip of water, and said calmly, "Director Liu, Director He, thank you very much for your trust. Once the contract is signed, we will be long-term partners. However, the quantity you need is too large. Our factory cannot meet the demand at the moment. We only have one ton of finished product right now."
Director Liu's smile froze. "Ah? This... Director Guan, we've come with sincerity! Money is no problem! Don't reduce our share just because of your commune's livestock team."
Director He nodded, "Yes, Director Guan! It's a long way for us, and it's not easy for us to come all this way."
Guan Wenru laughed and said, "When our feed mill was in trouble, you were the first to stand up and support our trial with the production team's precious sheep. We will remember this kindness and trust. If we have the quantity, we will definitely give it to you."
But as you can see, our factory is very small, with limited daily production. Even if you ask for a ton, we don't have it. Right now, that one ton is being divided into three parts, roughly split among the three communes.”
Director Liu scratched his head, "This... I'm afraid that when I go back, the captains under my command will definitely crush my office!"
Director He also looked worried. "Yes, Director Guan, the current feed production is just a drop in the ocean! Your factory needs to expand production as soon as possible!"
Guan Wenru smiled helplessly, “Expanding production is already in the plan, but it will take time. This first batch can only be done like this for now. Please understand, both directors, and please help to appease the production teams below. Once the subsequent production capacity comes up, we will definitely give priority to ensuring the supply of our contract partners.”
Since she had said that, the two directors couldn't say anything.
After seeing the two directors off, Guan Wenru went to the broadcasting room and gave a brief report on sales to the factory workers.
Upon learning that all the feed had been sold and that production was not keeping up with demand, the workers were full of energy!
...
With the sales issue completely resolved, Guan Wenru was finally at ease.
At noon, she took out the food from her spatial storage and waited for Baiyun and Che Xiaoni.
