Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 237 Personally comforting the widow

"Why are you so embarrassed to do this?"

Xu Jichang was happy in his heart, but on the surface he still said, "It's just about selling fertilizer."

"No, no, this is a bit of sincerity on our part."

Li Yulin said resolutely, "I only hope, comrade, that you can represent the unit and sell us this meal of fertilizer."

"If I don't sell it to you, who else can I sell it to?"

Xu Jichang laughed and said, "Then the matter is settled."

"Director Li, please get busy, we still have things to go back to."

"No, no, stay for a meal. I'll ask the cafeteria to cook two dishes."

Li Yulin persuaded him to stay.

"No need, we really have something to do."

"By the way, the state-stipulated sales price of fertilizer is [-] per ton, do you know that?"

"As for the money, there's no need to give it to us right away. It's not convenient for both of us to carry so much money. I'll call your commune when I get back to the city and let you know the delivery time."

"Just send the money to the unit five days in advance."

Xu Jichang shook his head and declined, got up and walked to the office door with Chen Xiaoen.

"I know, I know. We will definitely deliver the money on time."

Li Yulin also followed him out of the office, and after trying to persuade them to stay twice more, he sent them out of the commune compound together with no results.

"Whenever you have free time, come and visit our Lotus Township."

"Notify us in advance when the time comes and we'll cook you a pig-killing dish."

At the gate of the compound, Li Yulin said goodbye with a smile.

"Okay, I'll tell you when I'll come over. But don't waste it too much."

Xu Jichang waved his hand and prepared to leave.

As a result, Li Yulin called Zhang Youtian again at this time and asked him to send Xu Jichang and Chen Xiaoen to the place where they got into the car.

"Isn't it a bit unsatisfactory?"

After getting on the bus, Xu Jichang and Chen Xiaoen sat side by side and asked calmly.

Seeing the frankness of his question, Chen Xiaoen simply told the truth: "It's a little bit."

"The prices are fixed and there is no room for negotiation."

"It's normal, that's it for now."

Xu Jichang said calmly, "Maybe I will let go slowly later, haha."

Chen Xiaoen looked like she wanted to say something more, but two more passengers got on the seat in front of her, so she had to swallow her words to avoid being heard.

After a while, the car started and headed for the county town, and there were constant bumps along the way.

Xu Jichang could adapt to it, but Chen Xiaoen couldn't stand it. It didn't take long for her face to turn pale.

"Want to vomit? I'll find you a bag."

Xu Jichang said with concern.

Chen Xiaoen shook his head with difficulty: "No, thank you, leader. I can still bear it."

Finally arriving at the place, Chen Xiaoen followed Xu Jichang out of the car and felt much better after breathing fresh air.

"Please wait a minute. I will take you to report to the factory leaders later."

Xu Jichang said to Chen Xiaoen.

"No, I can do it now."

Chen Xiaoen said very strongly.

"Okay, let's go."

After speaking, Xu Jichang led Chen Xiaoen to the factory director's office.

In the office, Director Gao was discussing something with Qian Jinsong, and his secretary asked Xu Jichang to wait outside for a while.

"Squeak."

After a while, the room opened and Qian Jinsong walked out.

"You also come to the factory director."

Qian Jinsong saw him and greeted him with a smile.

"Yes. Report on the work."

Xu Jichang smiled and nodded, and entered Factory Director Gao's office with Chen Xiaoen.

"Hello, factory director. I have reached an agreement with the Lianhua Township Commune regarding the flexible supply of fertilizers."

After Xu Jichang sat down, he reported the report without any nonsense.

"How to say."

Factory Director Gao asked with a dull head while approving documents.

The two have become familiar with each other after working together for more than a year, so they don't need too many polite words.

"Pay first and then deliver goods. This will provide us with some convenience in the supply of non-staple food."

Xu Jichang understood that Director Gao was very busy at the moment, so he chose to report the report very quickly, "He proposed the convenience aspect himself, so I can't ask too detailed questions."

Director Gao put down his pen when he heard this: "Well, you did the right thing."

"Catch the big ones and let go the small ones, and choose to trust others."

"That's natural. He's a very down-to-earth person."

Xu Jichang nodded and said, "I'll take a pen and a piece of paper and write a memo to you, the factory director."

"The specifics are up there."

After saying that, he took out a pen from the pen holder, took out a piece of paper from Director Gao, and scribbled it down.

Including the payment amount, specific payment time, and Li Yulin's name and position are all written on it.

After writing these messages, Xu Jichang handed the memo to Factory Director Gao and left after making sure he had no questions. Chen Xiaoen followed him out of the office.

"Were you nervous just now?"

After leaving the factory director's office door, Xu Jichang asked her.

"I'm not nervous. The factory manager is quite kind."

Chen Xiaoen shook his head and said.

"Just don't be nervous. There will be many big scenes in the future."

Xu Jichang said.

If nothing goes wrong, Xu Jichang will bring Chen Xiaoen to discuss any business in the future.

Whether it is cash in Dongfang Fertilizer Factory, or one day leaving the factory and going out alone to travel far and wide.

As for whether Chen Xiaoen is willing to go with him then...

Xu Jichang believes this is not a problem.

She comes from an overseas Chinese family doing business, so she will naturally understand what the right choice is when the time comes.

After sending Chen Xiaoen back to the office, Xu Jichang went to the production department and talked with their director about supply.

Obviously, the people in the production department had received the notice from the factory and were not surprised by Xu Jichang's arrival. They promised that all the fertilizers would be loaded into trucks within a week and sent to Lianhua Township.

It can be done within a week, which sounds a bit outrageous.

However, considering that this batch of fertilizers was unplanned, it is understandable: even with flexible sales, all departments in the factory must still adhere to the planned production tasks first, and the autonomous parts must be delayed slightly to avoid Being blamed by superiors.

Xu Jichang knew this very well, so he was very satisfied with this statement and did not ask for more.

After talking here, Xu Jichang returned to his office at the dealership and informed Li Yulin.

On the other end of the phone, Li Yulin was very happy after receiving the news, saying that he would definitely deliver the payment on time.

……

After get off work in the evening, Xu Jichang helped her deliver her luggage that was temporarily stored in the factory to the female staff dormitory.

"Is the clothes, quilt, etc. enough?"

Downstairs in the dormitory, Xu Jichang said caringly.

"Well, thank you for your concern, leader. Everything is complete."

Chen Xiaoen smiled slightly. "Okay, then go up and say no more."

Xu Jichang turned around and left without talking to her for a while.

Because this is a dormitory for female employees, if you stay here for a long time, it will easily lead to gossip.

As for helping Chen Xiaoen move up, that is naturally even more impossible. Basically, avoiding suspicion is still necessary.

After leaving the female workers' dormitory, Xu Jichang returned to the factory and rode his bicycle home.

It was already pitch black, and you could feel the biting coldness even if you held your hands on the handlebars.

Not long after Xu Jichang returned home, snowflakes began to fall outside.

"Why did you come back so late today?"

Lan Qimei put the beef and radish stew on the table together with the earthenware pot and asked casually.

"Help the new colleague move, woman."

Xu Jichang put a large piece of beef into the bowl and said without raising his head.

The weather was cold and she had been running back and forth to the countryside. She was really hungry.

In a short while, he had wiped out two large bowls of rice and beef.

Heroes in ancient novels often eat three to five kilograms of beef in one meal, which seems a bit exaggerated.

In fact, people can really do it when they consume a lot of physical strength and are tall and strong.

After eating, Xu Jichang asked Lan Qimei to boil several thermoses of water and pour it into the large wooden bucket in his bathroom, hoping to take a comfortable hot bath.

Originally, Du Xiaojing's house was the only one with a bathroom in the whole yard.The bathroom here is from Xu Jichang's new home when he went back to expand the yard.

Entering the bathroom, Xu Jichang immediately took off his sweater and top, only to find someone else in the steaming mist.

It was Lan Qimei. She was testing the water temperature for Xu Jichang.

Hearing the noise, Lan Qimei turned around and saw Xu Jichang, who was already naked from the waist up, revealing a well-developed, strong and angular tendon.

Lan Qimei blushed and wanted to get out of the way, but Xu Jichang stopped her: "Give me a bath."

"You're the only one with more ideas."

Lan Qimei said shyly, but she stayed obediently.

……

After taking a comfortable bath, Xu Jichang got dressed and ran back to the bedroom.

"Hiss, it's cold."

Even after getting under the quilt, he couldn't help but sigh.

This winter has not had as much snow as last year, but the temperatures have been much cooler.Even Xu Jichang, who is thick-skinned and thick-skinned, can't stand it.

The night was extremely quiet, except for the occasional snort from flying electricity in the courtyard, there was no other sound.

Under the quilt, Xu Jichang gradually became warmer.

He wrapped himself in the quilt comfortably and planned to sleep until dawn.

"Tuk Tuk..."

"Tuk Tuk..."

At this time, there were two faint knocks on the door outside the yard.

Xu Jichang's closed eyes suddenly opened.

However, he did not immediately get out of bed and open the door, but instinctively wondered whether he had heard wrongly.

It's freezing cold at night, who can come to find me?

Could it be Lan Qimei's sister Lan Bamei?

Xu Jichang wondered in his heart and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

"Tuk Tuk."

This time, the knocking on the door became clearer, accompanied by a voice that lacked confidence, "Jichang...are you asleep?"

"Open the door for me."

It's Fang Runsu.

Why is she coming here so late at night?Could it be that the child in the belly is in danger?

Xu Jichang suddenly had countless possibilities in his mind. He quickly stood up, grabbed the bearskin coat hanging on the chair and put it on his body. He didn't even bother to put on his slippers and ran towards the door.

Lan Qimei also heard the noise and got up. Seeing Xu Jichang in a hurry, she quickly picked up her slippers and chased him.

After Lan Qimei caught up, Xu Jichang put on his slippers hastily and ran into the yard: "What's the matter, Runsu?"

While he was talking, he had arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, opened the door and saw a frightened Fang Runsu.

"Wei Shulin, he...he..."

Fang Runsu was out of breath, with a confused look on his face.

"Don't worry, go inside and talk. Don't freeze."

Xu Jichang said distressedly, his eyes falling on her big belly, and he and Lan Qimei quickly helped her into the house, poured her a glass of hot milk, and lit the fireplace.

"Gudu... Gudu."

Fang Runsu quickly drank the milk and spoke again, "Wei Shulin is dead!"

"Dead? It's hard for you to handle being alone. Come to me for help, right?"

Xu Jichang reacted immediately, "But to be honest, you didn't handle this matter properly."

"You should go find his sisters first, not me."

It is true that Wei Shulin is an only son, but he still has older sisters.

Fang Runsu came to him immediately when something happened. If word spread, it would arouse the imagination of many people.

"Um……"

Fang Runsu almost buried her face in her chest, her pretty face full of shame.

People tend to act on instinct in critical moments. This time she instinctively found Xu Jichang without thinking too much.

Xu Jichang didn't bother to comfort her and thought for a while to make arrangements.
"In this case, Qimei, you will send Runsu home later."

"As soon as you leave, Runsu will go find her neighborhood committee and ask those uncles and aunts to be responsible for notifying Wei Shulin's surviving relatives and work units."

"I'll pretend that I don't know about this for now. I'll tell Yingzi when I get the notice, and we'll go to Runsu's house to help."

When something happens to an employee's family these days, especially in a special situation like Fang Runsu's, it is normal for the company to send someone to help.

However, it would be inappropriate for Xu Jichang to be the first person to know the situation and arrive at the scene.

So he had to make this special arrangement.

After hearing this, Fang Runsu agreed.
"I'm so anxious that I'm dizzy."

"Just do as you say."

After saying that, she was about to get up and go home.

Xu Jichang stopped her: "Have a rest, eat something to warm yourself up, and recover before leaving."

……

After a while, Fang Runsu completed her recovery. Lan Qimei helped her out. Before leaving, she did not forget to find a piece of her own thick clothes and add an extra layer of warmth to her.

Near home, Fang Runsu followed Xu Jichang's arrangement and first found the neighborhood committee after Lan Qimei left, asking the uncles and aunties to help him deal with the matter.

These days, the aunts and uncles in the neighborhood committee are basically retired workers. They belong to a group of people with better economic conditions in society, and most of them are usually enthusiastic.

After hearing about Fang Runsu's situation, they immediately notified the Wei family's family members and sent news to Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang pretended to be surprised when he heard the news, and quickly took Yu Yingzi to visit and help in the name of a colleague and leader of the unit.

In the spacious room of Fang Runsu's house, Wei Shulin's body was lying stiffly on the bed. His face was pale, and his nose and mouth were filled with solidified purple-black blood.

Yu Yingzi was startled by this situation and quickly shrank behind Xu Jichang.

Beside the bed, Wei Shulin's elder sister and younger sister were cleaning up blood stains with ugly expressions, looking as stiff as possible.

They had never received any benefit from their brother since they were young, and now they had to come over to collect his body after he was gone.

If it weren't for the sake of the deceased, they would never be willing to take this job.

Fang Runsu was helped to the next room and was alone.

Xu Jichang entered the room in the name of his boss and comforted her, while Yu Yingzi was responsible for guarding the door.
