Chapter 149

At the same time, he considered how to sell this mountain of supplies for cash.

Although Liu Shan and Dong Dong Xiaoxue were helping to sell goods in the pigeon market, the pigeon market carried huge risks after all.

Selling large quantities of goods would inevitably attract attention.

The pigeon market wasn't safe, so Cao Cao Weiguo had to find ways to open up more new channels.

Now, both cities and rural areas were short of supplies, so he wasn't worried about not having a market.

But to turn the supplies into cash, a lot of operations were still needed in between.

If Cao Cao Weiguo wanted to sell supplies to factories, he had to connect internal and external joints.

While eating an apple, Cao Cao Weiguo racked his brains.

Middle Courtyard

Yi Yi Zhonghai sat quietly on a chair, holding a lit cigarette in his hand.

The First Aunt watched Yi Yi Zhonghai in a daze and couldn't help but ask: "Old Yi, what are you thinking about so intently?"

"I'm thinking about Seeing Shazhu."

Yi Yi Zhonghai said with a face full of worry.

The First Aunt was puzzled: "What's the matter with Seeing Shazhu?"

Seeing Shazhu's mother died early, and his father ran off with a widow.

Seeing that Seeing Shazhu had no parents, the First Master wanted Seeing Shazhu to support him in his old age.

The First Aunt knew about this, but many things had happened recently.

Seeing Shazhu was punished for making mistakes, and his work and life plummeted.

Seeing that Seeing Shazhu was not living up to expectations, Yi Yi Zhonghai gradually distanced himself from him.

But he didn't expect Seeing Shazhu to make a comeback suddenly.

This made Yi Yi Zhonghai's mind active again, which was why he was biased toward Seeing Shazhu again today.

After a moment of silence, the First Master, Yi Yi Zhonghai, suddenly said: "Sha Zhuzi's work has been restored. What do you think if we introduce a partner to him?"

The First Aunt: "Good idea. If this matter succeeds, it will solve Sha Zhuzi's lifelong event, and he will have to be grateful to us for the rest of his life."

The First Master nodded: "Then I'll move around these few days."

Steel Rolling Mill

The day after the salary was paid, Cao Cao Weiguo brought Chi Ping'an into the factory.

He even had Engineer Shen take Chi Ping'an as an apprentice, which made Yi Yi Zhonghai very angry.

Upon learning that Chi Ping'an was going to enter the workshop, Yi Yi Zhonghai had taken the initiative to offer to take Chi Ping'an as an apprentice.

On the surface, he said it was to look after the younger generation in the courtyard, but in reality, he wanted to have Chi Ping'an in his hands.

Previously, he had also taken an apprentice in the courtyard, preparing to cultivate that apprentice to support him in his old age.

But man proposes, God disposes; that apprentice died in an accident, making his plan go down the drain.

That apprentice's name was Jia Jia Dongxu, Jia Jia Zhangshi's son, Qin Qin Huairu's husband, and Bangeng's father.

With Jia Jia Dongxu gone and Seeing Shazhu unreliable, Yi Yi Zhonghai set his sights on Chi Ping'an.

He prepared to cultivate Chi Ping'an into a second Jia Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age.

But he didn't expect Chi Ping'an to politely refuse and then turn to apprentice under Engineer Shen.

You have to know that he was one of the few eighth-grade machinists in the factory, and countless people wanted to be his apprentice.

It's just that he was worried that if he taught the apprentice, the master would die, and he didn't want to waste his energy.

Therefore, he didn't take many apprentices in the workshop.

And he personally offered to take an apprentice, but Chi Ping'an refused, which made him feel he had lost face.

He secretly held a grudge against Chi Ping'an and also against Cao Cao Weiguo.

Who didn't know that Engineer Shen was the uncle of Cao Cao Weiguo's wife?

If Cao Cao Weiguo hadn't been playing tricks behind his back, would Chi Ping'an have refused him, an eighth-grade machinist?

Regarding Yi Yi Zhonghai's dissatisfaction, Cao Cao Weiguo didn't know and didn't care.

After handling Chi Ping'an's affairs, Cao Cao Weiguo found Deputy Factory Director Li.

The two closed the door and talked for more than twenty minutes; no one knew what they said.

The next day, Lu Jinpeng pedaled a flatbed truck full of vegetables to the steel mill.

After unloading, the procurement section weighed it nimbly, and the procurement director and cafeteria director inspected it in person.

Although this truck wasn't meat, they were all top-quality ingredients.

It could satisfy the superiors and improve the workers' meals.

After inspection and weighing, the procurement director readily settled the bill for Lu Jinpeng on the spot.

Everyone had a tacit understanding, and no one asked about the source.

Although this truck of vegetables was slightly lower than the market price, Cao Cao Weiguo easily pocketed 310 Brother Yuan.

Lu Jinpeng received a 5-Brother Yuan hard work fee and couldn't stop smiling.

Earning three or four days' wages in one trip—if people knew about this, they would probably fight to do it.

Bags of vegetables were sent into the warehouse and the kitchen, and Cao Cao Weiguo personally cooked the dishes.

Liu Liu Limin and Li Fei studied seriously on the side, making Fatty and Ma Hua envious.

Although Seeing Shazhu had returned to the kitchen, he had no intention of teaching them his skills.

If this continued, Fatty and Ma Hua wouldn't be able to take charge of the cooking even after being apprentices for three or five years.

Fresh ingredients combined with Cao Cao Weiguo's cooking skills made the workers eating the meal praise it endlessly.

Many people took another portion with their lunch boxes after eating, preparing to take it home for dinner.

Compared to the dishes cooked at home, this work meal had more oil and tasted better.

Qin Qin Huairu also wanted to take a portion home, but Seeing Shazhu wasn't serving at the window.

And Seeing Shazhu's grain coupons had been emptied yesterday, so even if she found Seeing Shazhu, he couldn't produce any grain coupons.

However, Qin Qin Huairu's fish pond had more than just Seeing Shazhu.

With a wave of her hand, she got Guo Guo Dapiezi to happily pay for her grain coupons.

This made the nearby workers secretly curl their lips, and many female workers cursed Qin Qin Huairu for being shameless.

In this era, the social atmosphere was simple, and there was no such thing as laughing at the poor but not at the prostitute.

Bad conduct would lead to people pointing fingers at your spine, and in serious cases, you would be labeled a "broken shoe."

But Qin Qin Huairu didn't seem to care about these disdainful gazes at all.

Cao Cao Weiguo shook his head secretly at this and didn't make any evaluation.

If you really want to talk about conduct, he wasn't a good person either.

A crow landing on a pig's back—don't call each other black.

After lunch, Deputy Factory Director Li gave Cao Cao Weiguo a few instructions.

Recently, the cafeteria's work was heavy and there were many ingredients, so he should strengthen management and keep a close eye on the kitchen.

Mainly, don't lose anything; after all, in addition to vegetables and grain, there were seven large wild boars.

After giving instructions, he also drew a big pie for Cao Cao Weiguo.

Cafeteria Director Zhao was retiring at the end of the year, and he was preparing to take the opportunity to promote Cao Cao Weiguo to Cafeteria Director.

Promoting him from deputy section level to section level.

Cao Cao Weiguo naturally expressed his loyalty and attitude toward this.

After arranging the cafeteria's work and letting Ma Liang watch the kitchen,

Cao Cao Weiguo went to the security section and knocked on the section chief's office.

At this time, Section Chief Guo of the security section was taking a nap.

The knocking woke him up, and he felt a bit of anger in his heart.

Opening the door and seeing it was Cao Cao Weiguo, the displeasure on his face immediately turned into a smile:

"A rare guest! Director Cao, come in quickly."

Saying this, he greeted Cao Cao Weiguo into the room with a smile, taking out a cup and tea leaves from the filing cabinet.

He brewed a cup of tea for Cao Cao Weiguo: "Director Cao must have been busy lately."
