Chapter 89
Cao Weiguo took the envelope and said with a smile: "Thank you, Clerk Gu. I said I would go get it when I was free, it's troubling you to make a trip."
Clerk Gu said diligently: "Director Cao bears heavy responsibilities and is busy and tired with work. What is me running an errand? Besides, running an errand for you is my honor."
Cao Weiguo laughed: "Clerk Gu, you speak too harshly. We are all comrades struggling for the prosperity of the motherland. There is no high or low in work, just different divisions of labor."
Clerk Gu quickly said: "Director Cao is right. I must learn well from the director. Director, you are busy. When you have time, you must give more guidance to my work."
The people in the kitchen looked in surprise at Clerk Gu, who was showing such great diligence to Cao Weiguo.
The finance department manages the money bag, and everyone is a master with their nostrils facing the sky.
In front of Cao Weiguo, he was like a shop assistant, so enthusiastic in fawning and pleasing.
Cao Weiguo signed his name, and Clerk Gu left quickly.
Seeing Cao Weiguo casually put the envelope into the inner pocket of his jacket, Shazhu said sarcastically: "Director, don't you look at how much salary you were issued? Are you afraid we will borrow from you?"
Cao Weiguo said seriously: "Master He is underestimating me too much. If any fellow worker is really in difficulty, whether they lack money or coupons, just say it, I will never be stingy."
Li Dong immediately shouted: "Director is righteous!"
Ma Liang mocked: "Master He, stop using the heart of a petty person to measure the belly of a gentleman."
Liu Lan laughed: "Shazhu, do you think the director is the same as you? In the whole factory, who doesn't give the director a thumbs up?"
Shazhu was so angry his face turned green, and he chopped the radish hard with resentment.
After lunch, because the meals were not improved, both the canteen director and Cao Weiguo were implicated.
The two directors, one principal and one deputy, were criticized in turn by the factory director and deputy factory director.
The principal and deputy directors of the procurement department didn't escape either.
Procurement and the canteen are a pair of "difficult brothers."
The higher-ups allocated funds and approved coupons, but the workers didn't eat a single bite of meat.
They didn't let the hardworking worker brothers feel care and reward.
This is the dereliction of duty of the two departments of procurement and the canteen!
The four directors who took the blame were also quite helpless.
Material scarcity is nationwide, they can't get or grab ingredients, what can they do?
Fortunately, the two factory directors also knew the actual situation, and the criticism of the four directors was just a formality.
Then came a wave of circular criticism throughout the factory to soothe the mood of the worker brothers.
The four directors holding important positions became fresh scapegoats.
Hearing that Cao Weiguo was criticized by circular for "ineffective work," Shazhu couldn't close his mouth from joy.
The Second Uncle also gloated in the workshop: "Being a leader is not that easy. Cao Weiguo is still too young."
In the broadcast room, Yu Haitang had complex feelings, both secretly happy and worried.
Secretly happy because Cao Weiguo was criticized, venting the anger of being treated coldly.
Worried because Cao Weiguo was criticized, would it affect his future?
Because of various things, she had a strange emotion toward Cao Weiguo.
If it weren't for her momentary negligence, perhaps Cao Weiguo's wife now would be her.
Nowadays, looking at the entire Rolling Steel Factory, there is no young man who can compare with Cao Weiguo.
Yang Weimin, who is dating her now, is no exception.
If Cao Weiguo was willing to date her, she would definitely kick Yang Weimin away without hesitation.
Pity!
Cao Weiguo is already married!
She missed a good man!
In the procurement director's office, the four difficult brothers sat together sighing.
Director Feng said with sorrow: "Alas, everyone covets my position, but who knows how hot this seat is!"
Cao Weiguo leaned against the back of the chair: "As one drinks water, one knows whether it is cold or warm!"
Canteen Director Zhao said with a bitter face: "This is just the beginning. After Labor Day, there is National Day, and after National Day, there is Spring Festival. If we don't handle the task well, we will be criticized."
Director Feng said with grievance: "Food is scarce everywhere! What can I do! Can that chicken, duck, fish, and meat fall from the sky!"
The three years of natural disasters have just passed, it's good enough to have food to eat.
If you want to eat meat, you can still manage to cut a catty or ten catties.
But tens of thousands of people in the whole factory want to eat meat. Whoever can get thousands of catties of meat is the ancestor!
If you can get a pig, the whole factory will have to celebrate with gongs and drums.
Director Feng looked at Cao Weiguo with hope: "Brother Weiguo, you have wide paths and great ability. If you can get a pig before the Spring Festival, you will be our benefactor, and all four of us can be rewarded."
Cao Weiguo said with a bitter smile: "Brother Feng, you think too highly of me. Ten or twenty catties of pork, I can run to the countryside a few more times, and if I'm lucky, I can get it. Want a pig? Even if you give me wings, I can't get it."
The deputy director of procurement said: "Relying on wild paths to get pigs is unrealistic. If we want to get pork, we have to start from two places: the meat processing plant and the commune's collective pig farm."
Director Feng said unhappily: "You think I haven't put in the effort? I'm almost calling them grandpa, but they don't even look at me straight."
There are as many units in Jingcheng as there are hairs on an ox.
The Rolling Steel Factory is not small in scale, but there are plenty of units with higher levels and greater power.
Hundreds or thousands of units are staring at one pig.
What number are you, a Rolling Steel Factory, in Jingcheng?
Not to mention far away, just the few brother units of the Rolling Steel Factory.
Can you grab it from the car factory!
Can you grab it from the parts factory!
Can you grab it from the steel factory!
You can't even grab it from a group of brother units, let alone units higher up.
The deputy director of procurement said: "Director, if there is no way, we will think of a way. I heard that the director of the Red Star Commune farm is a glutton, and that mouth is very greedy. If Director Cao can handle him, then there will be hope for pork."
Instantly, Director Feng and Director Zhao looked at Cao Weiguo with green eyes.
Cao Weiguo was under great pressure, and said with a bitter face: "Don't look at me like that. I can only say I will do my best for this matter, and I am only responsible for cooking. You still have to do the matchmaking."
Director Zhao patted his thigh with his hand and said: "Leave the matter of inviting people to me. Even if I have to use an eight-bearer sedan chair, I will carry that farm director over."
Cao Weiguo said: "Fine, as long as the person arrives, I will definitely use my eighteen martial arts to serve him."
Cao Weiguo really didn't expect pork to be so scarce and popular.
If the risk wasn't too great, he really wanted to take a few big fat pigs from the farm.
Why would he have to be criticized for pork, and have to rack his brains to fawn over people. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
