Chapter 31: Toilet Director

Steel Rolling Mill ===== CHAPTER 56 =====

At five in the morning, the sky was hazy, and mist filled the air.

Cao Cao Weiguo, the Canteen Director, and the Procurement Director had already begun working.

"Eighty-five catties in total!"

The Procurement Director said with a beaming smile, "Cao Weiguo, you really have ability to be able to get so much chicken."

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "My friends in the commune have a hard life; they can only secretly get some local specialties to earn a little money to support their families."

Everyone was a sensible person; no one would dig deeper.

In this day and age, if you want to live well, you’ll engage in some "side jobs" and exploit some loopholes.

Water that is too clear has no fish, after all!

The Procurement Director handed two stacks of money and coupons to Cao Cao Weiguo. "This is 23.5 and 23 catties of meat coupons. Count them carefully."

Cao Cao Weiguo took the money and coupons and counted them on the spot. "Not a cent off."

These chickens could be sold for 2 Brother Yuan each at the pigeon market.

Selling them to the Steel Rolling Mill only fetched a little over 1 Brother Yuan each, but he could get the highly sought-after meat coupons.

These meat coupons were more valuable than money on the market.

The Canteen Director stood by with a happy smile; he had earned benefits just by acting as the go-between.

He and the Procurement Director split the 10% kickback fifty-fifty.

Although the money he got was only a few Brother Yuan, even a mosquito is meat.

And with this successful cooperation, the money would keep flowing in the future.

After the money and goods were cleared, the Procurement Director put the 12 chickens in the sack into the warehouse.

Cao Cao Weiguo and the Canteen Director walked into the canteen, chatting and laughing.

Cao Cao Weiguo used the one chicken he had kept to make a pot of fragrant chicken soup.

He called the Procurement Director to the kitchen, and the three of them shared the pot of chicken soup.

The Canteen Director ate the chicken, looking completely satisfied. "Cao Weiguo, your skills are amazing. If you opened a restaurant, you’d definitely make a fortune."

Cao Cao Weiguo laughed and said, "My little bit of culinary skill is nothing. If I really went to open a restaurant, I’m afraid I’d lose my pants."

The Procurement Director asked, "Cao Weiguo, when can you get more chicken, or other ingredients?"

Cao Cao Weiguo asked, "I can’t get chicken for a while, but I can get some pork and mutton."

After several trips to the pigeon market, Cao Cao Weiguo’s chicken inventory had almost been emptied.

However, he still had thousands of catties of pork and mutton in stock.

The Procurement Director said with surprise, "You can get pork and mutton! That’s just great!"

The Canteen Director’s eyes also lit up; pork and mutton were harder to get and scarcer than chicken.

Their value was naturally higher, and there was more profit to be made.

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "I have relatives in the countryside; with a little effort, I should be able to get some meat."

The Procurement Director said happily, "Cao Weiguo, put in some effort. The factory will take as much meat as you can bring."

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "Then I’ll take some time to visit my relatives."

The pot of chicken and chicken soup was eaten clean by the three men.

The Canteen Director and the Procurement Director went to their offices to catch up on sleep, feeling satisfied.

The energetic Cao Cao Weiguo started practicing Tai Chi in the kitchen.

He continued until the coworkers arrived one after another.

In the workshop, Seeing Shazhu looked around restlessly, anxiously waiting for the leadership to notify him to return to the kitchen.

Qin Qin Huairu said unhappily, "You don’t worry when you should, but you worry blindly when you shouldn’t."

Seeing Shazhu said with disdain, "This workshop is no place for a human to stay; I don’t want to stay here for even a second."

The First Uncle walked over and scolded him in a low voice: "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you still want to work at the Steel Rolling Mill?"

Seeing Shazhu didn’t hide his words, and his voice wasn’t low; the nearby coworkers all heard him.

A sentence full of disdain immediately made the coworkers feel unhappy.

They worked in the workshop; were they not human?

In the new era, everyone is equal; why are you nobler than others?

The Director of the Third Workshop said with a gloomy face, "He He Yuzhu, your ideology has serious problems. I will report this truthfully to the leadership, and I believe you will soon get your wish and leave the workshop."

Seeing Shazhu panicked. "Director! Don’t! I was just speaking without thinking!"

The Workshop Director didn’t even look at Seeing Shazhu and marched angrily toward the office building.

Soon, Seeing Shazhu was transferred away from the workshop and given a broom to sweep the toilets.

In an instant, Seeing Shazhu’s reputation was ruined, and he became an outcast and a laughingstock in the eyes of the coworkers.

Qin Qin Huairu was so frustrated she wanted to hit someone; her painstaking efforts had been in vain.

The First Uncle slapped his thigh in disappointment; this Seeing Shazhu was too disappointing.

His foul mouth had no filter!

Stirring up trouble everywhere!

It was all for nothing that he had helped him go find Cao Cao Weiguo to plead for mercy yesterday!

Cao Cao Weiguo had already agreed to help, and he might have returned to the kitchen soon.

But because of that foul mouth, he not only offended the coworkers but also ruined the whole thing.

Cao Cao Weiguo, who was cooking in the kitchen, learned of this and couldn’t help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

This Seeing Shazhu is truly a strange person!

Now it’s easy; it even saved him from having to go find the Canteen Director to plead for him.

The job of sweeping toilets fits Seeing Shazhu’s foul mouth perfectly.

Seeing Shazhu started his glorious new job under the supervision of the logistics department staff.

Holding a manure fork in one hand and a broom in the other.

There were over ten thousand people in the entire Steel Rolling Mill; one can imagine how big and busy the toilet was, and how strong the smell was.

Given that Seeing Shazhu was a newcomer, the previous night-soil collector was promoted to his master.

This master had both the duty of teaching and the power of supervision.

"Guo... I... Ugh!"

Seeing Shazhu was in agony in the toilet, so disgusted he nearly vomited his stomach out.

"What are you dawdling for! Get to work!"

"No slacking off, or I’ll report you!"

The night-soil collector scolded him sternly, making Seeing Shazhu grit his teeth in hatred.

"Urge, urge, urge! What are you urging for!"

"The toilet isn’t going to run away!"

Seeing Shazhu endured the disgust and started cleaning, feeling both stifled and regretful.

He also regretted his foul mouth!

Xu Xu Damao, who had returned from the countryside, was so happy to hear that Seeing Shazhu was sweeping toilets that he wanted to beat drums and gongs.

He put down his equipment and found over a dozen coworkers, marching together into the toilet.

"Seeing Shazhu, I’ve brought the brothers to support you!"

The group unbuckled their belts and started their "big moves."

The toilet that had just been cleaned was suddenly a mess again.

"Xu Xu Damao, you’re not human!"

Seeing Shazhu’s eyes turned red with anger. "I’ll fix you sooner or later!"

Xu Xu Damao shouted with a laugh, "Hey, I came to use the toilet; why are you cursing? Do you believe I’ll report you?"

Seeing Shazhu’s hand holding the manure fork trembled, suppressing the urge to beat Xu Xu Damao.

Having suffered repeated punishments, Seeing Shazhu gradually learned his lesson.

If he made another mistake, he was afraid he wouldn’t even have a toilet to sweep.

Before Xu Xu Damao left, the Second Uncle walked in, holding his big belly.

"Seeing Shazhu, why are you standing there instead of working?"

"No slacking off!"

As he spoke, he unbuckled his belt, followed by a series of "big moves." ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
