Chapter 30: Deputy Factory Director Li's Bicycle Coupon

Jingcheng

Pigu Hutong

This was a place Cao Weiguo had passed by before, a location he mentioned casually.

After leaving the pigeon market, Cao Weiguo walked toward Pigu Hutong.

The transaction with the old man was risky, and Cao Weiguo had the intention to back out and give up on the way.

In the pigeon market, in the pitch-black environment, no one could see anyone clearly.

Even if Cao Weiguo backed out, the old man had no way to do anything.

But the benefits within reach were too tempting!

He wanted a relatively stable shipping channel.

Cao Weiguo arrived near the south entrance of Pigu Hutong at nine-thirty.

He hid in a small alley and stared at the south entrance.

At nine-fifty, an old man arrived at the entrance with a tall man.

Cao Weiguo observed until ten-ten before putting on a facial mask and walking quickly to the entrance, carrying two large sacks.

The man was tall, but Cao Weiguo wasn't afraid of him robbing him.

The secret Tai Chi Chuan rewarded by the check-in wasn't just for show.

"Old man, take a look at the goods."

Cao Weiguo walked quickly to the old man and handed the two sacks to the tall man.

The old man smiled and handed the money to Cao Weiguo: "Young man, you have quite a few schemes."

Cao Weiguo said: "I'm a naturally timid person."

The man opened the sack and took a look, then lifted it and weighed it: "Second Uncle, no problem."

The old man swallowed his saliva and asked expectantly: "Young man, do you have any other good things recently?"

Cao Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "I can't say for sure now, but I will go to the pigeon market in the future."

The old man said expectantly: "Then I'll wait for you at the old place in the pigeon market."

Cao Weiguo didn't say much and left in a hurry.

He walked into a small alley and wandered toward the Sihe Academy.

When he returned to the Sihe Academy, the clock on the wall was already eleven-twenty.

"Must hurry and buy a bicycle."

He washed up, brushed his teeth, and had a beautiful sleep.

The next day, Cao Weiguo found the cafeteria director and asked about the bicycle coupon.

The cafeteria director told Cao Weiguo about a channel, but the cost was not cheap.

Money!

Cao Weiguo really didn't lack it!

The next day

After work

Cao Weiguo carried three white-striped chickens and knocked on the door of Deputy Factory Director Li's house.

"Ding! Daily check-in successful!"

"Obtained 5 jin of white sugar, 1 jin of chili seeds!"

"Hello, I am a worker at the Rolling Steel Factory. I came to visit Factory Director Li. I'm sorry to disturb you, please forgive me."

A middle-aged woman opened the door, and Cao Weiguo said politely.

Politeness costs nothing!

Looking at the three chickens Cao Weiguo brought, the woman was beaming with joy:

"No disturbance, no disturbance. Hurry and come in."

The woman shouted toward the study: "Old Li, a worker has come to see you."

Cao Weiguo followed her into the room and handed the chickens to the woman:

"A little token of my heart, please don't look down on it."

The woman took the chickens and smiled happily:

"Coming is enough, why bring gifts? Hurry and sit."

Deputy Factory Director Li, who came out of the study, was somewhat surprised to see Cao Weiguo and the chickens in his wife's hands.

He knew Cao Weiguo, but the two rarely had contact and hadn't even spoken a few words.

Besides, he had never looked down on a cook.

However, for the sake of the three chickens, Deputy Factory Director Li began to smile:

"Weiguo, what made you think of coming here?"

The woman happily carried the chickens to the kitchen, and Cao Weiguo got straight to the point:

"Factory Director Li, I heard you have a bicycle coupon, so I came to bother you."

Deputy Factory Director Li said in surprise: "You want a bicycle coupon?"

Cao Weiguo took out 10 ten-yuan bills from his pocket and placed them on the coffee table with a smile:

"I know bicycle coupons are very scarce, but I heard that you treat workers like brothers, so I had the thick skin to come and ask you for help."

The ten ten-yuan bills made Deputy Factory Director Li's eyes light up.

Cao Weiguo had taken out one hundred yuan right away.

A bicycle coupon wasn't worth that much money.

This was clearly giving him benefits.

"Weiguo, helping each other among workers is what should be done."

"You're being too much of a stranger. Hurry and sit; I'll go get the coupon."

Deputy Factory Director Li happily invited Cao Weiguo to sit down and turned to the study to take out the bicycle coupon.

"Factory Director Li, thank you so much. You are the best leader I have ever met."

Getting the bicycle coupon, Cao Weiguo thanked him excitedly.

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled happily: "Hahaha... Weiguo, you are sensible. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."

Cao Weiguo said hurriedly: "Definitely, definitely. Having a leader like you who is willing to help is my good fortune."

Having obtained the bicycle coupon, Cao Weiguo flattered him a few times and then left.

Coming out of the family building, it was already dark outside.

The state-run store was already closed, so he would have to wait until tomorrow to buy the bicycle.

The next day, as soon as he went to work, Cao Weiguo found Deputy Factory Director Li and got a unit certificate.

After lunch, Cao Weiguo asked for leave from the cafeteria director and headed excitedly to the state-run store.

Walking into the simply decorated state-run store, he saw the warning sign "No beating customers."

"Give me a Permanent brand 28-inch bicycle!"

Handing the bicycle coupon to the salesperson, the nearby customers showed surprised and envious eyes.

The salesperson checked the bicycle coupon: "185 yuan!"

Cao Weiguo took out a stack of banknotes generously, making several female customers' eyes light up.

Young, handsome, and rich!

Marrying him would definitely be happy!

Confirming the money and coupon were correct, the salesperson pushed out a brand-new Permanent brand 28-inch bicycle.

After getting the bicycle, Cao Weiguo didn't stop, took the purchase receipt and unit certificate, and went to handle the "Bicycle License."

After stamping the steel seal on the handlebars, the main beam, etc., receiving the bicycle license plate, and installing it in the designated position, he received a "Bicycle License."

After all the procedures were complete, Cao Weiguo rode the bicycle, drawing side-glances from passersby.

"So young and already has a bicycle—truly capable." ===== CHAPTER 32 =====
