After solving Wang Yingming's problem, Lin Tian had nothing else to deal with.
So for the next period of time, I will just work with peace of mind and concentrate on slacking off.
Things at the unit were handled smoothly. Lin Tian, Li Wenhua, and Wang Mingyu were on the run for about a week.
Almost everything produced in the capital was supplied normally, and some factories even agreed to make up for their previous debts.
"Finally done it. This week has exhausted me. Some parts are really difficult." Lin Tian said as he slumped in his chair on Saturday afternoon.
"It's because of the shortage of supplies a while ago. There's nothing we can do about it. If it were the same or similar situation, no one would care." Li Wenhua said with a smile. Everyone was very happy that such a big thing was settled.
"That's right." Wang Mingyu was also a little tired. He hadn't slacked off much this week and had been running around almost all the time. The children of the big courtyard had extensive connections and it was much easier for them to get things done than ordinary people.
Wang Mingyu thought for a moment and invited again: "I'm getting married next week, you guys can come with me!"
"Let's not go. It's not convenient to enter your place. Let's not go and make trouble. I'll help you arrange people in the store the next day." Li Wenhua said.
"Yeah, your family is not suitable for being too high-profile. And if everyone knows about your family situation, how can you continue to work here in the future! By then, you will probably be in a lot of trouble. It's better not to bother with it." Lin Tian said.
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask Fang Ping and my mother!" Wang Mingyu thought for a long time, and Lin Tian wondered what he was going to say.
"Okay, then you go and ask. Just say that we have already discussed it in our store. This will mainly save you from the trouble. It's also nice for colleagues to have a meal together." Lin Tian said with a smile.
Wang Mingyu didn't say anything else, and it was obvious that he took Lin Tian's words to heart.
However, Lin Tian thought about it carefully. If Wang Mingyu's family really wanted to train him, he might be transferred next year. What future could he have here? Now that he is married, it is estimated that Wang Mingyu will not always stay with Fang Ping.
The next half month was indeed a very leisurely time. Lin Tian just drank tea and read newspapers in the office every day.
That day, Jiang Shufen finished her work in the accounting office and sat there with the report.
"Something seems to be wrong these days?" Jiang Shufen suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Li Wenhua put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Jiang Shufen.
"The number of goods delivered in the past few days has been decreasing, while the number of items sold has been increasing. I feel like we won't be able to hold on for much longer if this continues!" Jiang Shufen said as she looked at the report.
"That can't be. We just made an agreement with them a while ago, and now it's like this again? Isn't the Great Steelmaking Campaign almost over now? Logically, production should have resumed normally, and there shouldn't be any shortage!" said Li Wenhua.
Lin Tian had a bad feeling in his heart and said, "I don't think this is right. Bring it to me for a look."
Then Lin Tian and Li Wenhua checked the data in detail. It was just half a month's data and it was very simple and clear.
There haven't been enough supplies delivered for five days in a row, and the amount is almost one-third to one-half of the original amount.
"This?" Li Wenhua was a little confused when looking at the statistical reports of the past few days. He had just finished his work and hadn't had a few days of leisure.
"I think this matter is a little hard to say!" Lin Tian said after thinking for a while.
"What do you mean?" Li Wenhua asked with some confusion.
"I think it's the aftereffect of the two events. Now there may be a shortage of food and various supplies everywhere. The previous harvest data in the newspapers must be false." Lin Tian leaned over to Li Wenhua's ear and whispered secretly.
Hearing Lin Tian say this, Li Wenhua was shocked and said quickly: "It's enough for us to know it ourselves, but don't tell anyone!"
"I'm not stupid. Anyone who dares to tell others about this must want to die. Besides, anyone with a discerning eye can see it." Lin Tian said.
Jiang Shufen and Wang Mingyu in the office looked at the two guys who were playing gullible games and did not ask any further questions.
Jiang Shufen just asked: "What should we do now?"
"No other way, just let it go." Lin Tian continued to lie on the chair, drank a sip of water, and prepared to lie down.
"How about the three of us make another effort and visit each factory to take a look?" Li Wenhua suggested.
Lin Tian didn't have any objection: "Okay, let's go, I have nothing to do anyway."
Wang Mingyu has become much more honest since he got married. At least he knows how to work hard.
The three of them discussed it and then took action separately.
Lin Tian's first stop was to visit the sugar factory, a major supplier, but when he passed by the steel rolling mill, he saw two familiar figures.
Lin Tian thought, aren't these Wang Yingming's uncle and grandmother? They are still blocking the entrance of the steel mill. How long has it been?
Looking at the miserable appearance of the two people, they must be making a living by picking up scraps.
However, what they could never have imagined was that Wang Yingming was living a good life thousands of miles away.
But Lin Tian didn’t think much about it, they were just two strangers.
After arriving at the sugar factory, I went in to ask about the goods. After walking around twice, I found that the raw materials were indeed not sufficient, and even one-third of them were not available for production.
After figuring out what was going on, Lin Tianxia and his family prepared to go to the sesame oil factory. This was something they thought of after seeing the mother and son.
I sneaked in under the same name and found that the situation here was indeed better, but not much better. Half of the workshops were idle.
Normally, this year's new supplies should have been delivered to the warehouse by now, but there are not many here.
After visiting two stores and having a general idea of what to look for, Lin Tian decided not to continue shopping and went straight back to the grocery store.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Tian found that Wang Mingyu and Li Wenhua had not returned yet.
Jiang Shufen asked, "What happened?"
Lin Tian shook his head and said, "Not very optimistic. It looks like next year will be tough."
Soon the other two came back.
"I'm not very optimistic, what about you?" Lin Tian asked.
Li Wenhua also said with a gloomy face: "Not good, I feel like there will be trouble next year."
After all, Li Wenhua came from the old era, so he knew very well what would happen.
Lin Tian raised his head and gestured to Wang Mingyu again.
Wang Mingyu said: "I asked a friend I know and found out that there are raw materials now, but the allocation from above is less than half of the original amount. Some factories even only have one-third."
Everyone in the office understood as soon as they heard it!
"But I read in the newspaper that this year there is a bumper harvest!" Jiang Shufen said with some disbelief.
"Oh, this silly child!" What could Lin Tian say? He could only shake his head and sigh.
Because of the activities, too many places have falsely reported their production this year. The rural communes were busy with steel production in the second half of the year, which delayed too much labor. In addition, the commune canteens were wasteful and extravagant.
"Then what should we do?" Jiang Shufen asked when she saw that everyone in the office was silent.
"Report it and follow the leader's arrangements!" Lin Tian said helplessly. This is the general trend and no one can change it.
