Cui Daya was so angry that he slapped himself hard across the nose. Then he mocked himself, "Wasn't I just being a jerk? How could I possibly believe Lei Zi?"
Soon, Cui Daya's news was confirmed: Lao Gou, Luo Zi, and Liu Tu had been dragged out from different places by Zhao Aiguo and Zhang Jianjun.
Just like with Cui Daya, the three of them were taught a lesson by Zhao Aiguo and Zhang Jianjun. Not only were their grain coupons confiscated, but they were also thoroughly disciplined, leaving all three cursing under their breath.
"I don't know which bastard leaked the information, but when I find out, I'll skin him alive."
Zhao Aiguo and Zhang Jianjun disregarded their personal grudges. Based on the information they had, the target's overall characteristics matched Cui Daya's description: around 40 years old, with rat-like eyes and a thin build. He spoke with a local accent.
But no matter how useful it is, the information is gone.
However, the collected grain coupons were recorded by two people in one day. Anyway, when Director Wang reported the case, he claimed that the missing documents were missing, and he didn't mention the grain coupons at all.
After returning, I drew a diagram based on the clues I found. That was it; there was nowhere else to look for this kind of thing.
Zheng Dayou looked at Zhao Aiguo and Zhang Jianjun's report and those horrific portraits, which contained no facial information at all, only a pair of eyes.
"That's it? After all that searching, this is all you found? Where is this person, what's their name, what do they do?"
Zheng Dayou posed three questions about their character. Zhao Aiguo and Zhang Jianjun, on the other hand, knew nothing about any of them.
"Director Zheng, this is all the information we have right now; there's really nothing else."
Zheng Da waved his hand impatiently. "Go out and print out a notice for assistance in the investigation, then send it to the surrounding counties and cities, asking them to help investigate as well."
Zhao Aiguo and Zhang Jianjun received the order, turned around and left, both of them beaming with joy. And so the matter was dropped.
Upon hearing the news, Director Wang's large, fat face was filled with regret. He regretted not reporting it to the police if he had known it wouldn't be found. Instead, he caused a huge uproar, lost his position, and now could only work as a deputy factory director in this run-down factory.
Meanwhile, Wang Qiang and his group had no idea what was happening in the area. After traveling for about 10 days, they finally returned to Beijing.
Wang Qiang returned to the steel mill with a truckload of sheep to report back. Li Huaide was almost frantic with worry when Wang Qiang finally came back, but when he saw the truck full of sheep, Li Huaide's face froze from smiling.
"Wang Qiang is not bad. I knew you could get this done. Now that we have the factory's welfare benefits, we can give everyone some mutton for the New Year."
However, when Li Huaide saw He Yuzhu jump off the truck, an unhappy expression appeared on his face as he recalled the day He Yuzhu had beaten him.
But when he saw He Yuzhu shivering from the cold, his lips turning purple, and his face covered in cracks from the wind, he felt secretly pleased.
My impression of Wang Qiang has improved considerably. I heard that this guy is quite capable and helped me punish He Yuzhu.
So Li Huaide called to the workers to unload the sheep and find a place to pen them up.
Seeing the bustling scene, Li Huaide quietly pulled Wang Qiang aside.
"Thank you for your hard work this time."
Wang Qiang understood what Li Huaide meant. He took out 3,000 yuan from his pocket, and quietly slipped it into Li Huaide's hand when no one was around. Li Huaide happily put the money away.
"Wang Qiang, just tell me what you need."
Wang Qiang said, "Director, this is really too difficult. I want to rest for a few days and have a few days off."
Li Huaide thought to himself that this was no problem; it was just a holiday, and Wang Qiang had indeed worked hard.
"No problem, you can rest for a week first, and we can talk about it after a week."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Li Huaide, Wang Qiang led Li Man and Chen Jing to the finance office. Chen Jing and Sister Chen from the finance department were sisters.
The two were very enthusiastic when they met, holding hands and chatting non-stop. Li Man was also very happy to hear that Chen Jing had come to keep her company.
However, Li Man's monthly salary is only 18 yuan, which may not be easy to support the two of them.
The two talked for a while, and then Li Man took Chen Jing to her residence. Sister Chen also sent the other people in the finance office out under some pretext.
Now only Wang Qiang and himself remain.
She looked at Wang Qiang with a smile. "How was the trip, brother? Did it go smoothly?"
Wang Qiang nodded. Seeing that no one was around, he took out 1000 yuan and gave it to Sister Chen.
"Sister Chen, this trip was a bit tiring; the journey wasn't smooth."
"Yes, it's so hard, especially in this cold weather."
As Sister Chen spoke, she casually took the money into her hand and counted it. A smile spread across her face. She wrapped the money in a handkerchief, unbuttoned her blouse, and put it in the inner pocket of her shirt, hiding it close to her body.
"Brother, if you have any good things like this in the future, don't forget your older sister."
Wang Qiang chuckled: "Look at what you're saying, how could I possibly forget you?" Wang Qiang glanced at Sister Chen's recently unbuttoned shirt, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.
Seeing Wang Qiang's expression, Sister Chen deliberately shifted her body and bent down, allowing Wang Qiang a clearer view. The two women, one from the purchasing department and the other from the finance department, had frequent contact and were quite familiar with each other.
He would also crack jokes from time to time.
"Sister Chen, what are you doing? I can't see very clearly."
As Wang Qiang spoke, his eyes darted toward Sister Chen.
"If you can't see it, then don't look. You little brat, trying to take advantage of me." Sister Chen sat up straight and buttoned up her clothes.
Wang Qiang grinned. "Tofu? You can't find tofu these days."
After talking for a while, Wang Qiang wanted to go back to the courtyard house.
Just then, Sister Chen called out to him. "Wang Qiang, since you live alone anyway, we're having a welcome dinner for my sister tonight. Why don't you come along?"
"Is it appropriate for me to attend? This is your family dinner."
“What’s inappropriate about it? I think the way Li Man looks at you is wrong. Maybe you’ll be family in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang sighed inwardly at the woman's cunning; she could see right through him.
"Alright then, I'll be sorry."
Sister Chen had already stood up and started packing her things. Anyway, it was almost time to leave work.
"Alright, stop dawdling. Come with me now, let's go buy some groceries."
The two left the finance office. Sister Chen had a bicycle, but Wang Qiang's bicycle was in the courtyard.
Sister Chen pushed the car in front of Wang Qiang. "Please, do me a favor and be my driver."
Wang Qiang took the bicycle. He was tall and strong, and he easily mounted it.
"Sister Chen, come up here, are you ready?"
As Wang Qiang gave his instructions, Sister Chen sat sideways in the back seat, her hands resting on Wang Qiang's waist.
"Alright, let's go."
"Sister Chen, shouldn't you be riding up to the front crossbar? That's the correct way. You come in front and I'll ride the bike together from behind."
"Get lost, you brat, you're taking advantage of me again."
Wang Qiang pedaled his bicycle, and the two of them left the steel rolling mill.
