Zou Langtao was overjoyed. He nodded repeatedly and assured, "Don't worry! This matter will definitely be arranged for you. The leader didn't want to speak up because he felt that you had been away for two years, and it would be too difficult for you to contact those people again.
I'm shamelessly coming to you to ask, because seeing the leader lose his appetite and don't even want to drink makes me sad. After all, I'm the son of a fellow leader, and I can't bear to see him in such a difficult situation!
Ye Zhiqiu was very surprised to find out that Zou Langtao was also a descendant of Wu Shengli's comrade-in-arms.
There is nothing much to say about this. Human beings are emotional animals. We love our comrades and take care of their children because they have sacrificed their lives. This seems unfair.
But for those who sacrificed their lives, is this kind of treatment from their descendants, or the personal preferential treatment from their comrades, really unfair?
It's only those who receive preferential treatment without doing anything that feel truly unfair! What they have is earned through the sacrifices of their parents, so why should those descendants who bow down and become traitors feel that it's unfair...
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Brother Zou, these are all trivial matters. Just ask the old leader what he needs. I'll take care of it. But I can't pay for it myself. Damn, it's too expensive to move some supplies now. I don't have that much money."
Zou Langtao said happily, "How can I let you pay for it yourself? It's great that we can get the supplies. I know how expensive supplies are now, and I definitely can't let you pay for it. Then this is settled. I'll go back and talk to my boss about this now."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Okay, you go ahead. I'll go back and warm up first. It's still too cold outside."
"Okay, go back quickly. The temperature won't rise much until the next two days."
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the office of the transport brigade. Everyone's faces were frozen from being outside, and they all started rubbing their faces with their hands.
He lit a cigarette, and everyone here knew he was generous, so they all came up to him and asked for cigarettes!
Ye Zhiqiu didn't care and just handed the cigarettes to them, letting them divide it among themselves. In no time, they had divided up most of the pack of cigarettes.
There were very few cigarette coupons distributed these days, and everyone had not enough to buy cigarettes for themselves. If Ye Zhiqiu really relied on his own cigarette coupons, he would not have enough to buy cigarettes for himself, let alone give them to others!
"Captain, I'm sorry, I've distributed all the cigarettes."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's a small matter. I don't mind smoking a few cigarettes. By the way, everyone will inspect the vehicles this afternoon. We must take this matter seriously. After all, it concerns the safety of our brothers."
"Don't worry, Captain, we care more about our cars than our wives!"
"Damn, stop talking nonsense! Look at Wang, you bastard, you don't even have a wife!"
"I'm just using a metaphor! Not having a wife doesn't stop me from using it like that."
As everyone was laughing and joking, Ye Zhiqiu also learned that these drivers were very familiar with the cars, after all, they were all experienced drivers.
As long as the car makes any unusual noises, they will know what the problem is. Moreover, the car driver is also a car mechanic at this time, and will not be able to drive but not repair.
Even when Ye Zhiqiu was there, he first learned how to repair vehicles and understand the various structures of cars before getting in the car and learning how to drive.
It’s not like people in later generations who can only drive but not repair vehicles. They have to go to the repair station for any minor problem and get ripped off by them.
The office is cleaned very quickly. After getting hot water, everyone just wipes the table and sweeps the dust on the floor.
When it was time for lunch, Ye Zhiqiu took his lunch box and went to get his meal. There were fewer people queuing for the cadre meal, so he got his meal quickly.
He returned to the office with his lunch box. People came back one after another and everyone started to eat lunch together.
I had just finished lunch and went to wash the lunch box when I came back. Zou Langtao was already waiting here. After greeting me, he went into Ye Zhiqiu's own small office.
He opened a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Zou Langtao. They both lit up and smoked. Zou Langtao took out the note from his pocket and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu.
I took it and looked at it. Actually, the requirements were not high! Four chickens, two ducks, four pounds of pork, two pounds of eggs, and four carp. That's all.
Ye Zhiqiu asked with a smile, "Boss, are you planning to prepare four tables of food?"
Zou Langtao nodded and explained, "Supplies are in short supply right now, so having four tables of dishes like this is already quite good. Most of the guests are the leader's comrades-in-arms, relatives and friends over there. We didn't dare invite the leader's old bosses."
There are some prepared ingredients over there, and if we can get some of these, we can enrich the food and add a lot of luster to the banquet."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and replied, "No problem. I'll help you get these things. Should we send them to the leader's home or take them back to the factory?"
After hearing the first sentence, Zou Langtao smiled, but after hearing the whole thing, he was dumbfounded!
He was shocked and said, "Ah? Xiaoye, this document is listed to show you what I can help you with, but from what I heard, you mean you can help you with everything?"
Ye Zhiqiu smoked a cigarette and shrugged, "Although it's a bit troublesome, I can indeed help get these ingredients. Brother Zou, don't underestimate me! When I was a buyer, I knew a lot of people from all walks of life. This little thing is not difficult for me!"
Zou Langtao said happily, "It's my fault. I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so capable and be able to tinker with everything! This is great. In fact, many things leaders have to use favors to get, and the cost is too high. Now that I have your help, I can finally rest assured."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled, then thought of Liu Cuihua's work. He asked in a low voice: "Brother Zou, is our factory going to expand? Will the leaders have work targets by then?
My father has a brother who helped raise me when I was a child. If there is a job opening, could he sell one to me?"
Zou Langtao laughed while smoking, then choked. He coughed several times before recovering.
Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused. Was what he said so funny? He didn't say anything wrong!
After Zou Langtao recovered, he smiled and explained, "Silly boy, the factory does want to expand a workshop, but that won't happen until the spring of next year. But have you forgotten your identity?"
Ye Zhiqiu was even more confused. He pointed at himself and asked in confusion, "No, Brother Zou, why are you confusing me? What other identity do I have?"
"Xiao Ye, sometimes you're very smart, and sometimes you're so confused! During this expansion, section-level cadres are allocated work quotas!
You can get your work quota by yourself by then, so why would you bother asking your boss for help? So, you said you're making me laugh like this, how can I hold it in without choking?"
"Ah? I also have work quotas assigned to me?"
