Ma Yulian returned home, only to find the house empty!
Li Junsheng and Li Xiaoyu were taking care of Li Chunya across the hall, and the aroma of chicken soup wafted out from there. Meanwhile, Ma Yulian's kitchen was deserted, and no one cared whether she was hungry or not.
This infuriated Ma Yulian, who stood at her doorstep and made veiled insults.
In the evening, Chen Dazhu didn't want to lose face in front of Ma Weidong, so he made a point of meeting his son Chen Zhiyuan outside the factory after he got off work!
"Dad, why are you still thinking about those pieces of scrap metal?"
Chen Zhiyuan was getting impatient and didn't want to deal with Chen Dazhu's messy affairs!
Chen Dazhu simply said, "If you've accepted their bribes, shouldn't you do them a favor? If this goes through, there will be plenty of benefits to come. You don't need to worry about that. Just find a way to get me into your factory. I'll find out the rest myself."
"How can I sneak you into the factory? The old man at the gate is very strict."
Unlike textile factories, machine factories are easy targets for thieves. They can easily make a fortune by stealing iron and copper items!
Chen Dazhu had been thinking about a way to sneak in for a while.
"I see someone in your factory is in charge of taking out the trash at this time. Why don't you go in and help him push a trash can, and I'll hide inside the trash can and go in!"
"That stinks!"
Chen Zhiyuan was disgusted, and Chen Dazhu's face darkened. He hid in the trash can without complaining about the smell.
He complained when his own son asked him to push him into the trash can!
"Do you want endless money? If so, do as I say!"
Chen Zhiyuan immediately perked up at the mention of money.
He went back to the factory to find the old man in charge of taking out the trash. Sure enough, he saw the old man struggling to push a trash can out of the factory to take it out. Chen Zhiyuan pretended to be kind and went over to help!
He pushed the trash can out of the factory gate to empty it, and was even inspected by the old gatekeeper.
Chen Zhiyuan could only leave after confirming that there was nothing hidden inside!
Using the trash can as a cover, Chen Dazhu successfully infiltrated the machinery factory.
After entering the factory, Chen Dazhu had a clear goal and went straight to Old Zhao, who was guarding the warehouse!
Chen Dazhu, posing as an old worker, struck up a conversation with Lao Zhao, flattering him, "Brother Zhao, have a good cigarette. It must be pretty boring watching over the warehouse by yourself, right? There's no one to talk to."
Old Zhao remained expressionless, completely ignoring Chen Dazhu's attempts to befriend him!
"Smoking and drinking are prohibited in this warehouse. Do you want me fired?"
Chen Dazhu's fawning smile froze. He hadn't expected there to be so many things to be aware of when he was just looking after a warehouse.
"Sorry, I forgot!"
Chen Dazhu was a shrewd man. Seeing that Lao Zhao couldn't smoke or drink, he immediately started thinking of other ways to please him.
Noticing that the teacup next to him was almost empty, Chen Dazhu diligently refilled it for Lao Zhao and told Chen Zhiyuan to hurry up and buy a good pack of tea!
Buy some sunflower seeds and snacks for Lao Zhao, and most importantly, buy a big roast chicken!
Chen Zhiyuan was reluctant, but for the sake of money, he still bought everything as Chen Dazhu had said.
Chen Dazhu pushed the large roast chicken and various snacks directly in front of Lao Zhao!
"Brother Zhao, it's almost lunchtime, and you still have to watch the warehouse. You're really working hard. I bought you some food, so please don't be shy and eat and drink as much as you like."
Chen Dazhu broke off a big chicken leg and stuffed it into Lao Zhao's hand. Lao Zhao was surprised and gave Chen Dazhu a meaningful look!
This person is certainly willing to spend money.
Well, he's bound to be grateful for what he's given.
Old Zhao took the big chicken leg and took two bites, his mouth immediately filled with the aroma of meat.
His attitude towards Chen Dazhu has also improved considerably.
"Alright, I see you've had a tough time. Let's be frank. What do you want from me? Tell me first, and I'll see if I can help. If I can't, don't blame me!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dazhu was overjoyed. He served him tea and water and bought him food, finally managing to get the guy to open his mouth.
"Brother, I'm not here for anything important, I just wanted to ask you how your factory handles all this waste!"
“I have a relative who runs a scrap metal recycling station. He heard that our factory has these scrap materials and is thinking of partnering with us for recycling! Who should I ask about this?”
Upon hearing this, Old Zhao said with a half-smile, "Your relative is quite shrewd. Although the leftover stuff in the factory is scrap, it's actually still valuable stuff!"
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have let me watch over it so closely. If your relative wants to buy these scrap materials, they'll have to ask Section Chief Zhou of the Equipment Department. He's in charge of this and has the authority to dispose of these scrap materials."
"At most, I can give you some pointers. Also... I can tell you're not a factory worker. Otherwise, how come you don't even know Section Chief Zhou? How did you sneak in?"
Chen Dazhu was only interested in finding Section Chief Zhou of the Equipment Department, so he gave Lao Zhao a perfunctory answer: "My son works at the factory, so I'm benefiting from his job!"
Old Zhao nodded meaningfully and said, "How could this person have gotten in? It turns out there were some workers who didn't follow the rules."
Chen Dazhu didn't notice that Old Zhao's gaze was strange. He had received guidance from Old Zhao and was secretly excited!
After greeting Lao Zhao, Chen Dazhu pulled Chen Zhiyuan aside to secretly plan their matchmaking.
"Have you met Section Chief Zhou from the Equipment Department? You can talk to him about this. If that doesn't work, arrange to meet him, and I'll discuss the purchase of scrap metal with him!"
Chen Zhiyuan curled his lip, "I've met Section Chief Zhou before. He's quite arrogant. He's just a junior section chief; I really don't know what he has to be so arrogant about..."
Just as Chen Zhiyuan was complaining about Section Chief Zhou, the father and son suddenly saw several large trucks drive up to the door.
Chen Dazhu couldn't help but ask in surprise, "As expected of a machinery factory, what a grand display! So many large trucks parked at the gate, are they here to deliver something?"
Chen Zhiyuan was also seeing such a large scene for the first time, and said to Chen Dazhu, "It must be. This is also the first time I've seen so many large trucks. Each of these trucks is very expensive!"
"When will our family be able to buy a car? I see the factory leaders all riding in cars when they come and go from the factory, it's so impressive."
"I'll be able to buy a car sooner or later. I'm leaving now so the security guard doesn't find me!"
Just as Chen Dazhu was about to leave, he heard a familiar voice.
"Hey gatekeeper, open the gate for us, we need to come in and pick up some goods!"
Chen Dazhu suddenly stopped walking, his expression one of astonishment and confusion.
Why do I think I hear Li Junsheng's voice?
Chen Dazhu turned around and saw that it really was Li Junsheng at the gate of the machinery factory, offering a cigarette to the gatekeeper and trying to come in!
Chen Dazhu rubbed his eyes and realized he wasn't seeing things; it really was Li Junsheng.
Chen Zhiyuan was also quite puzzled!
"Dad, why is Li Junsheng here?"
Chen Dazhu shook his head. "I don't know. Did he become a driver? But... Li Junsheng really is a case of 'out of sight, out of mind.' After the job was transferred to you, even the gatekeeper didn't recognize him. Otherwise, why would he offer cigarettes and say nice things to people?"
Chen Zhiyuan was quite pleased to hear this. The father and son were certain that Li Junsheng couldn't get in and wanted to watch the show from the sidelines!
