The highest leader of the transport team is their captain, and under him are several team leaders, each leading a fleet.
The captain's surname is Qi, and his name is Qi Hongguang. He is a middle-aged man in his forties with sparse hair. As soon as Li Hongru came in, he saw a head that was as bright as a light bulb.
Qi Hongguang has a handsome and dignified appearance. When you see him, you feel safe and it is easy for you to let down your guard.
Li Hongru first introduced himself and then stated the purpose of his visit. He did not give cigarettes directly, but wanted to exchange them for several thousand kilograms of grain, which was not something that could be obtained with a few boxes of cigarettes.
As expected, Captain Qi directly stated his difficulties, such as lack of food and food shortage everywhere. In short, there was no food.
Li Hongru had already guessed his answer, but he did not rush into it. Instead, he complimented him:
"Captain Qi, I understand what you're saying. Our jobs are not easy, so I won't make things difficult for you."
Li Hongru stood up and left. Before leaving, he said:
"Captain Qi, our factory's logistics department is currently short of an officer. Do you have anyone suitable to recommend?"
"Oh? Do you have any requests?" Qi Hongguang immediately became excited. These days, every family has relatives or friends looking for jobs.
"The educational requirement is high school graduation, and there are no other special requirements."
Qi Hongguang thought for a moment before saying:
"Xiao Li, thank you for the job offer. I have a nephew who is looking for a job."
"That's great. Just ask him to come to the factory office to see me tomorrow." Li Hongru readily settled the matter.
Qi Hongguang felt a little embarrassed at this moment. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Xiao Li, you see, I can't take advantage of your factory either. By the end of the year, I will find a way to transfer an extra 2,000 kilograms of grain to the textile factory."
"Really? Thank you very much, Captain Qi. You are such a good leader."
Half an hour later, Li Hongru left with the transport team's note and handed Captain Qi a cigarette before leaving.
After finishing his work, Li Hongru went home humming a song, his shoes squeaking on the snow, composing a pleasant song.
As soon as he got home, Li Hongru happily hugged Zhang Weifang:
"Weifang, the food issue has been resolved. The transport team has agreed to provide 2,000 kilograms."
"Really, you're amazing. Let's have hotpot tonight to celebrate!"
Li Hongru was also very happy. He narrated the whole process in a vivid and emotional way. In the end, he even admired himself.
"Hongru, is there really a job opening in the logistics department? Would the factory director agree?"
"Is it just a matter of a word from the factory director? A job in exchange for 2,000 kilograms of grain, the factory director will definitely agree. Otherwise, there's no such thing as a free lunch."
The next morning, after work, Li Hongru went straight to the factory director's office. He lit the stove and filled the thermos with water before Director Ling walked into the office.
"Xiao Li, it's so early in the morning. Stop busying yourself and sit down. Is there any progress on the food issue?"
"Yes, Director, I'm here today to report this matter. Captain Qi of the transport team has promised to give us an extra 2,000 kilograms of grain by the end of the year."
"Really? You even found Captain Qi's way. That's not easy." When Ling Tianming looked at Li Hongru now, there was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.
"Director, I don't have that ability. I'm just relying on you. I told Captain Qi that our factory's logistics department is short of an officer."
Ling Tianming suddenly realized what was going on. He withdrew his gaze and deliberately cursed:
"Xiao Li, you really shouldn't have done that this time. How could you promise someone a job without permission? If everyone follows your example, will our factory still be able to operate?"
"Yes, yes, leader, I was not thoughtful enough this time. I will definitely correct it in the future." Li Hongru quickly seized the opportunity to admit his mistake.
Ling Tianming scolded Li Hongru a few more times and let him leave. Before leaving, he wrote a note to the logistics department and let Li Hongru take it away.
"Xiao Li, this job quota is my extra subsidy, but this won't happen again."
"Yes, Director, I understand."
Li Hongru took the approval note and left with his head down. Everyone knew at a glance that he was criticized by his leader, and those who were good at gossiping spread the news among the people below.
Li Hongru didn't care. He could get his work done by being scolded a few times. He even wished he could be scolded every day.
At around 9 o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the door and came in looking for Li Hongru. As soon as Li Hongru saw the young man in front of him, he knew that it was the person introduced by Captain Qi.
He took the young man directly to the logistics department to report. The logistics director had a good impression of Li Hongru and quickly completed the procedures.
The young man's name is Qi Jingye. He is only 18 years old this year. He just graduated and is very innocent.
Because of Captain Qi's relationship, Li Hongru also taught him a lot of workplace rules and things that newcomers should pay attention to. When Qi Jingye left, he was full of gratitude.
After get off work, Li Hongru met with Wang Yang again. He told Wang Yang that his mission was completed and expressed his gratitude to Wang Yang and Zhang Wei again.
Li Hongru brought Wang Yang to his home and gave him some sausages, dried mushrooms and fungus. He also asked Wang Yang to take Zhang Wei's portion back.
Wang Yang returned home with a bunch of stuff, and his mother asked curiously:
"Where did it come from?"
"Someone gave it to me, Mom. There's another one for my cousin. I'll send it over first. I'll make fried sausages tonight."
At dinner, Wang Yang ate half a plate of sausages by himself. The crispy skin and soft and glutinous bacon had a salty and fragrant taste.
Father Wang drank a few glasses of white wine with the bacon with great interest.
"Yangyang, this bacon is really good. If you have any connections, buy more."
"Dad, this was given to me by our colleague. I'll go ask about it tomorrow."
Li Hongru's dinner was also very sumptuous. The two of them ate white rice with braised pork. Zhang Weifang almost shed tears after not having eaten rice for a long time.
Li Hongru was even worse off. It was the first time he had eaten rice in his life. Before that, the best thing he had eaten was white flour. He fell in love with its soft, glutinous and fragrant taste at once.
"Weifang, can we eat rice more often from now on?"
"You wish. We don't have many points left. We need to save them."
"Oh, then how do I exchange the points?" Li Hongru showed a look of grievance and looked unhappy.
"I forgot to tell you before, this system is the Matchmaker system. You can earn points by introducing others to suitable partners or preventing them from finding unsuitable partners."
"Oh, so that's the case. After the New Year, Hongqin will be 19 years old. Let's introduce someone to her first!" The only unmarried person around Li Hongru is his sister. In order to earn points, he can only marry his sister off first.
She will have to get married sooner or later anyway, so just let the system match her with a suitable one.
