He hadn't helped the wrong person after all; he only needed to say a few words for the other person to understand his meaning.
"We can pretty much explain it over the phone. Let me put it this way."
Zhou Yongming coughed lightly and briefly explained the gist of the matter to Jiang Sheng.
After listening to Zhou Yongming's explanation, Jiang Sheng had a better understanding of the situation.
No wonder Zhou Yongming just said that this matter is not easy to handle.
Jiang Sheng also felt that this matter was somewhat tricky, but now that he knew the whereabouts of the packaging machine, he naturally would not give up so easily.
"Xiao Sheng, that's the gist of the matter."
Zhou Yongming sighed helplessly and said apologetically, "Uncle, if you can help, you certainly will, but the problem is that I have some issues with that Director Liu. If I really want to help, he definitely won't agree."
"Therefore, you have to handle this matter yourself, and most importantly, you must not let him know about our relationship."
Jiang Sheng understood the reasoning behind this and nodded, saying, "I know your difficulties, Uncle. Thank you for today. I will definitely treat you to a meal another day."
"It's nothing," Zhou Yongming said with a smile. "You go ahead and get busy. I've been swamped with work these past few days. Let's have a meal and drinks together when I have some free time."
After saying goodbye to Zhou Yongming and hanging up the phone, Jiang Sheng's mind was filled with the words Zhou Yongming had just said to him.
The sealing machine has indeed been found, but it is currently in the hands of a section chief named Liu Shanshu at the grain station.
Liu Shanshu is currently in the business of sealing machines, because the grain station has a quota for him to work on grain-related matters.
The sealing machine is currently under tender, but there is some past conflict between Liu Shanshu and Zhou Yongming.
Although Zhou Yongming didn't explain it clearly over the phone, only giving a vague answer.
However, Jiang Sheng didn't ask any more questions, knowing in his heart that he could only rely on himself in this matter.
Since Liu Shanshu has this quota in his hands, he needs to find a way to get it done as soon as possible.
But then again, even if we got the news about the sealing machine, actually getting the quota isn't as easy as it sounds!
What should we do next?
Jiang Sheng sat on the sofa, preoccupied with his own thoughts.
“Brother Sheng,” Zhao Defu came closer and asked curiously, “I heard it was your uncle who called you. What did he say to you? Did something go wrong with the factory?”
"The factory license has definitely been obtained; you just told me that."
Jiang Sheng shrugged, sighed, and told Zhao Defu about the sealing machine.
"Oh, it was about the sealing machine."
Zhao Defu nodded, looking helpless as well: "Since even your uncle can't help, there's nothing I can do either."
Jiang Sheng didn't expect Zhao Defu to be of any help; he simply poured himself a cup of tea.
"This matter is not too difficult to handle, but I have to find a way to convince Liu Shanshu that I can run the business successfully after I get this quota."
This alone makes it even more difficult.
Just as I was pondering what to do next, the phone in the living room rang again.
"It must be my uncle calling again. I'll go answer it first."
As Jiang Sheng spoke, he stood up and went to answer the phone. To his surprise, it wasn't Zhou Yongming who called, but his older sister Zhao Nianmeng.
"Hey sis, aren't you at work right now? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"
Zhao Nianmeng sounded a little embarrassed: "It's like this, I need to work overtime tonight to polish the quarterly summary of the financial statements."
Jiang Sheng immediately understood and said, "Then I'll wait for your call tonight. As soon as you call, I'll come to your factory and help you install the accounting software."
"Thank you very much, Xiaosheng. I've already spoken to our leader about this, and he approves."
"He has also reviewed the relevant financial statements and found no errors, so he wants you to install all the software."
“No problem,” Jiang Sheng nodded without hesitation. “I’ll install it for you tonight, and I’ll teach you all the operating techniques.”
"Okay, I'll explain the rest to you in detail when you arrive. It's too complicated to explain over the phone in a short time."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sheng's mind was filled with thoughts of his two older sisters, and the rest was about the sealing machine at the canning factory.
Several things were intertwined, making his brain feel like it was about to explode from overthinking.
He sat on the sofa with a headache on his face. Zhao Defu could tell that Jiang Sheng didn't seem to be in a good mood: "Brother Sheng, you seem a little unhappy. What did your older sister say to you?"
"It's nothing serious."
Jiang Sheng shook his head reluctantly: "It's just that the factory needs reforms. I came up with a solution for my older sister, and I'll go over tonight to help her solve the problem."
"I see."
Zhao Defu nodded and stood up tactfully: "This matter must be very complicated. I won't bother you any longer, Brother Sheng. You should get some rest."
When Zhao Defu was about to leave, Jiang Sheng didn't try to stop him. He only reminded Zhao Defu to let him know as soon as he left, so that he could contact him immediately if there were any issues with the factory.
After seeing Zhao Defu off, Jiang Sheng, who hadn't slept well all night, fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.
When he finally woke up, he was awakened by his second sister, Zhao Xuehui.
Looking at the dim sunset outside, Jiang Sheng realized that he had actually slept until evening.
"I noticed you have dark circles under your eyes this morning," Zhao Xuehui said, quickly cleaning the chicken she had bought. She then glanced at Jiang Sheng and said, "Hurry up and wash up. Your second sister will make you chicken soup today."
Seeing the happy smile that Zhao Xuehui couldn't help but wear on her face, Jiang Sheng's heart stirred slightly, and he slowed down his handwashing.
"Second sister, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen at your workplace?"
Zhao Xuehui was overjoyed and answered Jiang Sheng's question without hesitation.
"Of course it's good news. The anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China is coming soon. Our company has organized an event and we plan to have a get-together with the TV station on the evening of the anniversary."
Social party?
Upon hearing his second sister's answer, Jiang Sheng's mind instantly returned to a scene that occurred at this point in his previous life.
