Should we take both paths at the same time?
Section Chief Hu and Factory Director Yang both stood there stunned.
The two exchanged a glance, their expressions a mixture of surprise and slight embarrassment.
However, they had never thought of, or rather, never considered, such a simple question.
"Da Bao, you really have a sharp mind."
Section Chief Hu pursed his lips, placed a heavy hand on Wang Dabao's shoulder, and then turned to Factory Director Yang, "Factory Director Yang, what do you think of Section Chief Wang's suggestion?"
Factory Director Yang nodded: "Section Chief Wang's suggestion is excellent. We were worried about which path to take before, but we never expected that we could take two paths at the same time."
“We place the workpiece on the red line so that vehicles on the black line can go first. Even if the information is leaked, the other party will think that the item is on a vehicle on the black line.”
"That's right."
Section Chief Hu slapped his thigh and said, "We'll set off an hour after the vehicles on the black line have left. That way, even if the enemy tries to intercept the workpiece, they won't have time to turn around and chase us."
Wang Dabao shrugged: "If we have enough vehicles, we can send two batches on the black line and one batch on the red line. That way, we can put the workpieces on the second batch of vehicles on the black line."
Factory Director Yang looked embarrassed. "Section Chief Wang, if we send three batches, we'll need six trucks and six jeeps. We really can't spare that many vehicles."
"Then let's follow the red route you two previously planned."
After staring at the map for a while, Wang Dabao said, "The black route has at least five ambush points, while the red route only has the section through the woods. Just tell the brothers to be on high alert when we get close to the woods."
Section Chief Wang nodded: "Yes, that's what I think too."
"That's right, it seems we're on the same page," Factory Director Yang added.
After finalizing the escort route, the three began discussing manpower and weapon configurations.
Around 4:30, Section Chief Hu and Wang Dabao left Director Yang's office.
Section Chief Hu rode his sidecar motorcycle with Wang Dabao to the Equipment Section. After instructing the Equipment Section to maintain the weapons properly, the two of them took a stroll around the warehouse where rare metal parts were stored.
During this time, I encountered four or five security guards patrolling the perimeter, including the young man who had exchanged cigarettes with Wang Dabao yesterday.
"Are you used to smoking Zhonghua cigarettes?"
Wang Dabao jumped off the motorcycle, patted the other person on the shoulder in a condescending manner, and joked, "Are you changing again today?"
"I'm used to smoking it, I'm used to smoking it... no, it's not that I'm used to smoking it, it's not that..."
Wang Dabao's words left the young man somewhat at a loss. If he said he was used to the cigarettes, it would be obvious that he wanted to switch. If he said he wasn't used to them, that would be even more unreasonable. He couldn't even get used to Zhonghua cigarettes, let alone the ones given to him by the section chief.
Wang Dabao didn't want to tease him any further. After telling him to "work hard," he jumped into the sidecar and went back to the security department building with Section Chief Hu.
"Old Hu, can I borrow your motorcycle for a couple of days?"
"What, are you going on a blind date?!"
Section Chief Hu glanced at Wang Dabao with a smile, "With your looks, if you reveal your identity as the head of the security department of the steel rolling mill, which young girl wouldn't be rushing to throw herself at you? You wouldn't need a motorcycle to make an impression!"
"Speaking of which, you should be settling down by now. When I was your age, my kids were almost old enough to run around. I'll bring this up with your sister-in-law again when I get back today."
Wang Dabao was speechless. Is it that as people get older, both men and women like to act as matchmakers?
"Just tell me if you'll lend it to me or not."
"I'll lend you some, and I'll even prepare a spare barrel of oil for you, okay?" Section Chief Hu walked forward without turning his head. "You still haven't told me what you're going to do with it."
"Then I'll thank you in advance, brother."
Wang Dabao followed Section Chief Hu upstairs with a smile. “I’m planning to go back to the village in a few days. As I wrote on my resume, my parents died young. My uncle wanted to take me in, but I was already ten years old then and had my own ideas. I didn’t want to live under someone else’s roof, so I refused. After that, I was taken care of by the villagers. I wouldn’t say I ate at everyone’s house, but I did receive a lot of kindness from many families.”
"People in the city can still eat their fill, but people in the countryside really have to work on an empty stomach."
Wang Dabao sighed, "I'm going to send some things to the villagers. It may not be much, but it's a small token of my appreciation, and it might help them out of their immediate crisis."
"Okay, let me know when you get back, and I'll leave the motorcycle with you and fill up the tank."
Section Chief Hu readily agreed after hearing this.
Section Chief Hu's children are all older than Wang Dabao. Seeing that Wang Dabao is so kind, he would try to find a way to borrow a jeep, let alone a motorcycle.
The two arrived at the lounge. Section Chief Hu checked the time and made a phone call to summon Feng Biao.
A short while later, there was a knock on the door, and Feng Biao came running over, panting.
"Hey Lao Feng, did you really come up here, or are you just pretending with Lao Hu and me?"
Wang Dabao sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at Feng Biao with a suspicious expression and jokingly said, "Where's the cigarette? Take it out and let me try it."
Despite being nearly forty, Feng Biao was adept at feigning innocence: "Deputy Section Chief Wang, I'm innocent! It's almost time to leave work, and I was afraid of taking up your time, so I rushed up to get your instructions."
"I bet you're just afraid of making me work overtime. Stop talking nonsense and take out your cigarettes. Let me see what kind of good cigarettes you, the security captain, smoke?"
With a bitter face, Feng Biao pulled out a box of peony flowers: "The other day, Deputy Section Chief Wang, you got some benefits for everyone, so I splurge a little too."
"But I guarantee that it will be distributed equally to all members, including the team leader, squad leader, staff officer, and other staff members. There will be no bias or favoritism."
