Zhang Shuguang did not stop and rode all the way to the entrance of the machinery factory before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Comrade, did you purchase this?"
He went in and out of the machinery factory three times in one afternoon. The guard at the gate recognized him, hurried out of the guard room, opened the big iron gate, and welcomed the hero back.
"Yes, I just got it from the hunter. Let's wait and eat the meat tomorrow!"
Zhang Shuguang rode his tricycle into the factory.
"Finally, a capable young man has arrived in the purchasing department this time."
The old security guard Chen Zongyi looked at Zhang Shuguang's back and the elk on the tricycle, and sighed with emotion.
Halfway through this year, if Old Man Chen remembered correctly, he seemed to have only eaten meat once, and that was when Director Sun couldn't stand the workers' complaints anymore, so he went to the city's meat processing plant and queued up in person.
Old man Chen was deeply impressed by that incident. A big fat pig was loaded into the bed of the Jiefang truck, with a big red flower on its body, and comrades from the Propaganda Department welcomed it with gongs and drums.
As for the purchasing department, it has not had any harvest in the past six months. Occasionally, it can collect two chickens, ducks, geese, and a few eggs, which are also supplied to the leaders' small canteen.
It was working hours and most of the workers were working in the workshop. There were not many people on the road, so Zhang Shuguang rode his tricycle directly to the office area.
“Crack!”
Zhang Shuguang pressed the handbrake on the front beam and the tricycle stopped in front of the purchasing department's office.
"Comrade Xiao Zhang is back. Come on down, drink some water and take a rest."
It was the height of summer and the doors and windows of the office were open. Liu Gangqiang would glance outside from time to time and finally saw Zhang Shuguang coming back.
"Section Chief Liu, am I done with my mission for this month?"
Zhang Shuguang wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile.
"Done, done. I'll go get Director Wang."
Liu Gangqiang looked at Zhang Shuguang with satisfaction, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.
When Director Wang first brought him here, Liu Gangqiang saw that he was just a teenager and thought he was another one who got in through the back door. He didn't expect that he was a real capable person.
Even though Liu Gangqiang was extremely excited at the moment, he did not forget Director Wang's instructions. Director Wang said that he would bring Director Sun and other factory leaders to visit and inspect the project.
No matter when, you must keep your leader in mind and remember what he says, so that you can go a long way.
"He's back, he's back. Comrade Xiao Zhang has brought the elk back."
"Director Sun, Deputy Director Li, Deputy Director Wang..."
Director Wang's office door was not closed, so Liu Gangqiang rushed in directly. As soon as he entered, he found that the three factory directors were smoking and drinking tea in the office.
"How is it? How big is the elk?"
Director Wang was also very excited, as the opportunity for the Logistics Department to show up had finally come.
Wait until the cafeteria opens for lunch tomorrow at noon, and see who dares to scold their logistics staff for being useless.
"It's so big that it won't even fit on the tricycle. All four legs are drooping on the ground. It must be more than 400 kilograms."
Liu Gangqiang opened his hands and gestured to show how big the elk was.
"Alright, alright, let's go and see for ourselves."
Director Sun is a military-to-civilian cadre. He is always decisive in his words and deeds and doesn't like to drag things out. He stood up directly from the sofa.
"Let's go together."
Since Director Sun had spoken, the other two deputy directors stopped pretending to be reserved and stood up from the sofa.
As soon as they went out, they saw that the open space in front of the office area was full of people, and from time to time there were bursts of exclamations and hearty laughter.
"What are you all doing here? Don't you have anything to do?"
Deputy Director Li, who is in charge of administration and logistics, scolded with a dark face.
The staff turned around and saw the three giants of the machinery factory right behind them.
"Hello, Director. I need to go to the restroom."
"I'll go to the archives to check some information."
"I'm going to check the sanitation conditions in the factory."
…
The office staff who gathered together each found an excuse and hurriedly left the scene, revealing the boy inside and the elk on the tricycle.
"Alright, comrades, you haven't eaten meat in a long time. It's understandable that you were excited for a while."
Director Sun knew that his deputy was embarrassed, so he immediately gave him a way out.
After the factory director said this, Deputy Factory Director Li's expression immediately became much better.
"You're the Comrade Xiao Zhang that Lao Wang mentioned, right? Sure enough, you're young and promising. You've achieved so much on your first day on the job."
Director Sun's attitude is very kind. Recently, the workers' dissatisfaction with the food has become increasingly serious.
Today's machinery factories do not have the advanced lathes and assembly lines of later generations, and most of the work has to be done by manpower.
How can they have the energy to work if they don’t have enough to eat all day? The workers in the workshop are all listless.
It is no exaggeration to say that this elk weighing more than 400 pounds solved the urgent needs of the entire factory.
Although there are more than 3,000 workers in the factory, this elk, excluding the bones and fur, is probably enough for each person to eat at least one or two pounds, but at least they can have a taste of meat.
"Dear leaders, I am Zhang Shuguang, a new buyer who just joined the company today."
Although Zhang Shuguang didn't know what their positions were, when he saw that the three of them were ahead of Director Wang, he knew in his heart that the positions of these three people must be higher than Director Wang's.
"Great! Comrade Wang Xiang, you've finally done something useful today by recruiting such a capable young employee."
Director Sun was happy and praised Director Wang for the first time. In the past year, Wang Xiang rarely saw Director Sun smile.
"In the past, we didn't do our job well enough and let down the leaders and workers."
