Ye Zhiqiu was also helpless. His little sister was really good at this!
He sighed and said, "Forget it. When she grows up, I'll just find a husband to marry her off to and let others worry about her."
At this time, Wang Xiaolan pushed the door open and came in. She asked curiously, "Boss, I seem to have heard something that gives me a headache? Is anyone sick?"
"Hey, no one is sick, you heard it wrong."
"Mom, my little sister ran away halfway through washing the vegetables, so you can do it. I kneaded the dough myself, and it probably needs to rise until seven o'clock before it can be steamed."
"Okay, let's make stir-fried cabbage tonight."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't dare to have any objections. They ate meat every day. Even if he dared to bring it back, they wouldn't dare to eat it like that!
The two brothers chatted and went back to the living room. Ye Tianya was drinking water in the living room. No wonder he didn't follow them into the kitchen. He must have been thirsty.
"Boss, you're back just in time. Secretary Zou asked me to tell you something. The negotiations have been completed over there. Please be patient and proceed according to the agreed plan."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this. Don't be so curious. I'm helping Director Wu and the others, so I can't tell you."
Ye Tianya, with a look of curiosity on his face, snorted and stopped being curious about this matter. He went to the kitchen to help Wang Xiaolan cook.
Zou Langtao had given all the credit for this matter, distancing himself from the matter of obtaining the supplies. He didn't want to tell Ye Tianya, after all, he was a big mouth. It wouldn't be surprising if he bragged about this to his colleagues one day!
Wang Fugui came back at this time. After saying hello, he pulled Ye Zhiqiu aside and whispered, "Grandson, the amount of supplies is not only not less, but it's a little more. Did they make a mistake?"
Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile: "Grandpa, do you know what an intermediary is? I am the intermediary between them and you. The extra money is my profit.
But since I heard you say the unit was so short of vegetables, I didn't take the money this time. After all, I'm also a member of the unit, so it can be considered my contribution!
Wang Fugui exclaimed in surprise, "Grandson, there are fifty more kilograms of fish, twenty more rabbits, and a full two hundred kilograms more cabbage and radishes! You helped them with all this, and you managed to get so much profit just by helping them?"
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't you see how big a risk I'm taking? If the things are not weighed enough, the company will ask me to make up for it!
If the money isn't enough, they'll ask me to make up for it! With all the risk involved, is this little bit of profit I make really that much?
Wang Fugui nodded, then shook his head and said, "If you put it that way, then this amount really isn't that much!"
"That's right, let them eat without worry. I worked hard to get them. They don't have to worry about the excess quantity."
Wang Fugui felt relieved after understanding the reason for the extra supplies. As for Ye Zhiqiu's reduced income, it didn't matter to him. He would definitely leave some money for everyone in the future anyway, so he could just consider it as saving money for him.
After dinner was ready, Ye Zhiqiu told his family that he had to help his leader with some work the next day and that he had left dinner for him that night, and that he might not be back until very late.
Wang Fugui frowned. As soon as he heard it, he thought it was about trading supplies.
After dinner, they went to the bathhouse to take a bath. It had been several days since they had taken a bath. If they didn't go to the bathhouse, they would feel weak all over. So Wang Fugui and Ye Zhiqiu were the only ones left at home.
Wang Fugui then asked with a worried look on his face, "Grandson, are you going to sell supplies to others again tomorrow? Don't get addicted to this. I'm afraid you'll be blinded by money!"
Even if you can make a few hundred bucks doing this, the risk is too great. There's really no need for it. We're not short of money at home!"
Ye Zhiqiu knew that this was out of concern for him and that he was afraid that he had taken the wrong path! So he just kept listening with a smile, and only started to explain after Wang Fugui had finished speaking.
"Grandpa, this matter really has nothing to do with me. The director of our factory is my immediate superior. His secretary is the descendant of his fallen comrade, so he's like a godson, right?
He wanted to make some moves to earn himself a permanent position. I thought it was a good idea, as you know I used to work in purchasing, so they approached me.
It's not that I was asked to get supplies, but to help make connections so that he can get the credit and get promoted."
What he didn't expect was that after listening to his explanation, Wang Fugui actually said with approval: "If that's the case, then you should go and help. I won't try to persuade you on this matter."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and asked with a strange look on his face: "Grandpa, don't you think this..."
Wang Fugui sighed and said, "Son, I know what you want to say. But don't forget, I also lost countless comrades and left behind many children without a father!"
Everyone has selfish motives, and there's nothing wrong with helping the descendants of fallen comrades. He wasn't corrupt; he was simply using the little power he had to help the child live a better life.
"I think this is a harmless matter. This is just a small amount of compensation for the man's father who gave his life. Of course, if he makes a mistake in the future, he should be arrested and executed."
Ye Zhiqiu raised his thumb and said, "Grandpa is so insightful! I was worried that you couldn't stand this and was worried about how to tell you!"
"Human nature is selfish. We cannot expect everyone to be selfless. However, some selfishness is acceptable."
The two were chatting when Ma Banghua's voice came from outside.
"Are you home, bro? We're here to drink with you!"
"Hey, it's in the living room!"
Ye Zhiqiu agreed and went to open the living room door. He saw Ma Banghua and He Yongjun walking in carrying things.
As soon as the two came in, they took care of Wang Fugui and put the things they brought on the table, and then they began to take off their hats and scarves.
Ye Zhiqiu helped them hang up their things, and Wang Fugui made tea for them. They sat down and took the teacups.
Ye Zhiqiu asked with a smile: "What's going on? You're here drinking so late, why don't you come over at dinner time? Do you think I can afford to give you a meal?"
He Yongjun explained with a smile: "Hehe, how could that be? Banghua is in such a good mood because he has been confirmed as a successor that he has to have a couple of drinks, right?"
Ye Zhiqiu also asked happily: "Wow, they just brought the stuff back yesterday, and it's confirmed today, so the leaders in your factory are all quite efficient!"
Ma Banghua grinned and said, "It's all thanks to my brother that tomorrow we will have a banquet to commend our achievements and inform you of my promotion to the rank of Section Chief.
I was able to accomplish this because of your help, so if I don't have a couple of drinks with you, I really won't be able to sleep!"
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "We should celebrate, but Xiao Ma, you have to know that a promotion means greater responsibilities, not a chance to slack off!"
"Hehe, the old man is right. I will definitely serve the people wholeheartedly in my new position!"
"Oh, you guys are such a fool! We're at home, why are you being so formal..."
