Chapter 165

What kind of bizarre logic is this?

Did Cao Cao Weiguo tell you to steal? Trick you into stealing? Force you to steal?

"Brother! How could you be like this?"

"What kind of twisted logic are you spouting?"

"You were caught by the Security Section because you stole things!"

"Even if Brother Cao Weiguo hadn't become deputy director or worked at the Steel Rolling Mill,"

"stealing is still wrong. How can you blame it on someone else?"

He He Yushui's words made He He Yuzhu lose face, and he shouted in a fit of shame and anger:

"He He Yushui! I am your brother!"

"You don't help your own brother, but instead speak for an outsider."

"I see, you've been bought off by that villain Cao Cao Weiguo!"

"I raised you from a child in vain!"

"Is this how you treat your brother?"

"You are an ungrateful wretch!"

He He Yushui's eyes immediately turned red, and she shouted in both sadness and anger:

"Seeing Shazhu! You are just a fool who can't tell good from bad!"

"Get out!"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"He He Yushui! You! You! Fine! Your wings have hardened, haven't they!"

"I'm a fool, am I? Fine! From now on, we'll live our own lives!"

"Don't come looking to me for money or food; I don't have an ungrateful sister!"

Seeing Shazhu slammed the door and left with a livid face, while He He Yushui lay on the bed crying in sorrow.

Steel Rolling Mill.

Cao Cao Weiguo hadn't been in the cafeteria for even 10 minutes when Deputy Factory Director Li's secretary came looking for him.

The date for the exchange meeting was approaching, and the factory had already hung up banners.

The cafeteria was also becoming busy, processing some ingredients in advance.

For example, smoking preserved meat, making sausages, rendering lard...

Deputy Factory Director Li got straight to the point: "Cao Weiguo, I'm looking for you because I want to ask for a favor."

Cao Cao Weiguo said readily: "If the Factory Director has something to say, just give your orders."

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled and said: "It's like this, I have a relative holding a wedding banquet, and there will be quite a few guests, so these ingredients..."

The matter Deputy Factory Director Li mentioned was simple: he wanted Cao Cao Weiguo to source ingredients.

Mainly meat, and in quite a large quantity.

If the quantity wasn't large, Deputy Factory Director Li wouldn't have come to Cao Cao Weiguo.

Cao Cao Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "Since you've asked, Factory Director, I'll go out on Saturday and try my best to gather the ingredients."

"Good! Then thank you for your hard work, Cao Weiguo!"

Deputy Factory Director Li said with satisfaction: "I just love this sense of responsibility you have."

After thinking for a moment, he walked to his desk, took a stack of money and coupons from the drawer, and stuffed them into Cao Cao Weiguo's hand.

"I know it's not easy for you to get supplies, and I can't let you suffer a loss."

"Take this money and these coupons to use; if it's not enough, come to me for more."

Cao Cao Weiguo declined for a bit, but under Deputy Factory Director Li's insistence, he accepted them.

After returning to the cafeteria, Cao Cao Weiguo counted the money and coupons; they were more than enough.

The ingredients Deputy Factory Director Li wanted were quite a lot, but for Cao Cao Weiguo, it was just a drop in the bucket.

The supplies in his hands were piling up like a mountain, and he was actually worried about how to solve the issue of his storage being over capacity.

After lunch, Cao Cao Weiguo arranged the cafeteria's work.

He signed an exit permit with the procurement director and left the Steel Rolling Mill under the guise of procurement.

Riding his bicycle, he turned left and right, heading toward Dong Dong Xiaoxue's residence under the sun.

As he neared the place, he took a piece of pork belly and a chicken from his space.

He also took out two packs of osmanthus cakes he had obtained from checking in.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The place where Dong Dong Xiaoxue lived was an independent small courtyard with three dilapidated bungalow rooms.

Against the west wall was a shed piled with quite a bit of clutter.

A young girl was sweeping the courtyard and was startled when she heard the knocking.

Then, holding the broom, she called out crisply: "Who is it?"

Cao Cao Weiguo replied: "My name is Cao Cao Weiguo, I'm here to see Dong Dong Xiaoxue."

The girl turned and ran into the house: "Sister, there's someone outside named Cao Cao Weiguo looking for you. Do you know him?"

"He's my friend."

Dong Dong Xiaoxue put down the old clothes in her hands, walked quickly outside, and opened the gate.

The girl followed Dong Dong Xiaoxue out, and after opening the gate, she saw a young man pushing a bicycle.

Dong Dong Xiaoxue said warmly: "Brother Cao."

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and said: "I came over without notice; I hope I'm not disturbing you."

"No disturbance at all, Brother Cao, please come in."

Following Dong Dong Xiaoxue inside, Cao Cao Weiguo saw the young girl.

Her features were somewhat similar to Dong Dong Xiaoxue's; she must be Dong Dong Xiaoxue's sister.

He had investigated Dong Dong Xiaoxue and knew she had a sister.

Dong Dong Xiaoxue introduced her: "Brother Cao, this is my sister, Dong Dong Xiaoshuang."

Dong Dong Xiaoshuang was thin and small, but her features were delicate; she was a natural beauty.

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and handed the pastries to Dong Dong Xiaoshuang: "Hello, sister Dong Xiaoshuang, this is a gift I brought for you. Just some osmanthus cakes; they taste pretty good."

Dong Dong Xiaoshuang was 11 years old this year and hadn't finished elementary school yet.

Living a frugal life with Dong Dong Xiaoxue, her eyes lit up as soon as she heard it was osmanthus cake:

"Thank you, brother."

She said sweetly and happily accepted the pastries.

Dong Dong Xiaoxue welcomed Cao Cao Weiguo into the house: "Brother Cao, is there something you need?"

Cao Cao Weiguo handed the pork belly and chicken to Dong Dong Xiaoxue: "I came here to see how you're doing, and also to expand our cooperation."

Hearing Cao Cao Weiguo's words, Dong Dong Xiaoxue's eyes lit up.

During this time, she had been helping Cao Cao Weiguo sell supplies and had earned some money.

But who would complain about having too much money?

Expanding cooperation meant she could earn even more.

Cao Cao Weiguo asked: "How many people do you have on hand right now?"

Dong Dong Xiaoxue put the things on the table and answered truthfully: "7 people."

Cao Cao Weiguo: "7 people is a bit few. I've decided to double your compensation. Find more people; there will be more supplies in the future, and your current team won't be able to handle it."

Double the compensation!

That would be ten percent of every transaction.

Ten percent might not sound like much, but Cao Cao Weiguo's volume of goods was huge.

Dong Dong Xiaoxue said excitedly: "Thank you, Brother Cao. I will find people as soon as possible and will definitely not hold you back."

Cao Cao Weiguo took a stack of ten-Brother Yuan notes from his chest: "Besides expanding your team, rent a quiet courtyard to use as a warehouse."

Dong Dong Xiaoxue accepted the money: "I'll get it done as soon as possible."

At this moment, Dong Dong Xiaoshuang ran over with a piece of osmanthus cake: "Sister, the osmanthus cake Brother brought is delicious, try some."
