"Come in."
In the room, a middle-aged man in his forties with an elegant and thin appearance looked up at the person who came in.
Seeing that it was a young comrade, he frowned and said, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Jiang Tang said with red eyes: “Uncle Shen, don’t you recognize me?”
Section Chief Shen frowned: "Who are you?"
Jiang Tang closed the door and walked forward sadly: "My last name is Jiang, can you really not remember who I am?"
"Jiang?" Section Chief Shen went over the name several times in his mind, a little unsure, but seeing that the girl was so sincere and her eyes were twinkling, could she be the daughter of the old friend he hadn't contacted for many years?
But he doesn't have any friends with the surname Jiang.
“My dad didn’t want me to bother you, but I really have no choice.
You are the only one who can help me."
"Little comrade, what's your father's name?"
"Jiang Guangtao, don't you remember?"
Section Chief Shen was even more confused. He had made so many friends over the years that he couldn't remember who it was.
“Uncle Shen, I am a cadre from Hongguang Commune in Jiangzhou County. I came here to ask you for help to see if the department store will accept the tea in our village.
You know, our Hongguang Commune is the poorest place in the county. There are many wild boars in the mountains and little arable land. The grain harvested by the members in a year is not enough to eat, and they have to wait for relief food every year. The village has no choice but to pay back the money to the commune, so the villagers thought of using tea to pay off the debt.
We can't eat all the tea leaves we have, so we thought of asking department stores in various cities if they could buy some. That's when I thought of you, my father's old friend."
Jiang Tang didn't care whether Section Chief Shen remembered that he had a friend named Jiang Guangtao, and continued to introduce his own tea.
“Uncle Shen, this is the tea from our commune, called Zhangshan black tea. Please take a look at the quality. How about I make you a cup and you try the taste.”
As he said this, he looked around very rudely and found the kettle next to him.
He took Section Chief Shen’s cup and changed the tea leaves for him.
Section Chief Shen asked again: "Where does your father work now?"
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "Rong District."
When he was young, he worked in a supply and marketing cooperative, where people came and went every day. He was in the purchasing department and had dealings with many factories. After being transferred here, it was even more so.
Maybe I have met people from Herong District a few times.
However, some factories have a lot of flattery in order to promote their products.
Whether it's true or not, the girl directly said her father's name.
Maybe we really know each other, and the other person remembers me very clearly, but I have no impression of him at all, which makes me ashamed.
Section Chief Shen simply stopped thinking about it: "How much tea do you have? How do you sell it?"
Jiang Tang smiled and said, "A bag of tea weighs 200 grams, and costs 50 cents. This is the price we give to the Rong District."
Section Chief Shen was stunned: "Has your commune sold all its tea to the Rong District?"
Jiang Tang nodded. "Well, I just gave them three hundred bags. But those villages are all poor and can't even afford to eat. We sell these tea leaves. If we can get money, we'll do it. If we can't, we'll give them some notes or barter.
We exchanged some food and two military coats at the military area."
Section Chief Shen became interested: "You also changed into a military coat?"
"Yes, they are just defective products. They are supplies from the military area and cannot be exchanged casually."
Section Chief Shen understood and took a sip from the cup.
"It tastes good, but we're not in the Rong District. If we give you 50 cents, how can we make money?"
Jiang Tang naturally knew this, so she said in embarrassment: "Rong District took 300 bags from us, 50 cents, Uncle Shen, can you buy more than 300 bags? If so, I can adjust the price down to 10 cents for you. This is the lowest price we can bear."
Section Chief Shen laughed. Theirs was a provincial department store, with people coming and going all day long, and many counters were sold out.
Even in the tobacco, alcohol and tea areas, the daily amount is not small.
"I can take a thousand bags and we'll be fine."
Jiang Tang was so excited that he quickly calculated the money he could earn this time, and was so happy that he almost couldn't hold back his expression.
He suppressed his excitement and said, “Yes, Uncle Shen, thank you so much. On behalf of Hongguang Commune and Youcaoling Village, I thank you for your concern and support for the members.
Don't worry, I won't let you down. The quality is absolutely top-notch. I guarantee that the public will fall in love with this tea, and the department store will make a lot of money."
Section Chief Shen hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "We are all serving the people, there is no need to make a fortune."
"We can't let everyone work hard when serving the people. Even if we earn a lot and pay a lot of taxes, we are still contributing to the country."
Section Chief Shen liked what he heard, and Jiang Tang quickly took out her letter of introduction and work permit.
One thousand bags, she can't run away with this order.
The safest thing is to sign a contract.
The department store signs a lot of orders every day, so the contracts are ready.
Section Chief Shen signed a contract directly with Hongguang Commune for one thousand bags of tea.
Jiang Tang smiled after receiving the contract: "Uncle Shen, it's a pleasure to work with you. I hope we can establish a long-term ordering relationship. We have a lot of tea in Youcaoling Village and can produce more than 10,000 kilograms of tea every year."
Section Chief Shen shook her hand and said, "If the quality is good and it sells well, we are naturally willing to cooperate with her for a long time."
"Okay, I won't bother Uncle Shen. My dad asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. He said this is your favorite cigarette and asked me to bring it to you."
Jiangtang and other cigarettes are old brands bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. The price is not high or expensive, just for business talks.
Section Chief Shen was now more convinced of what Jiang Tang said, that he had really forgotten a very good friend.
So he personally escorted her out of the office.
"Uncle Shen, I'm leaving first. I'll come back tomorrow to deliver the goods." After that, he said to Team Leader Zhang beside him, "Brother Zhang, see you tomorrow."
After leaving the office area, Jiang Tang returned to Sister Zhang’s counter, smiled and took out a handful of candy from his pocket and gave it to her: “Sister Zhang, I have met Uncle Shen and will come again tomorrow. Thank you for bringing me in today.”
When Sister Zhang saw that it was a White Rabbit, her face lit up with joy, and she quickly put it away: "Hello, Chief Shen. It's almost noon. Why don't you have a meal with your uncle? The food in our cafeteria is very good."
"No, my uncle is busy. It's just as well to eat at home tonight. I have something else to do. Sister Zhang, I'm leaving."
"Hey, take your time and come often."
Seeing her being so enthusiastic towards a little girl, the salesperson nearby asked, "Who is she?"
"She's the niece of Section Chief Shen from the Purchasing Department. You'd better be careful when you see her next time."
A few people looked at each other and nodded, remembering the ginger candy.
Jiang Tang came out of the department store at this moment, laughing all the way while riding his bike. A thousand packs, haha, that’s several hundred dollars.
She is such a genius.
I came to the cultural group with a smile on my face.
This is her second time to join the cultural troupe.
Jiang Tang checked the time and walked to the guardhouse: "Comrade, I'm looking for Xia Qiu from the singing group. Could you please notify him for me?"
