Chapter 44 Security Department Canteen!

At around eleven o'clock in the morning, when the steel mill broadcast sounded, Qin Huairu immediately turned off the machine in front of her, took out two lunch boxes from the cloth bag beside her, and walked out of the workshop.

"Huairu! Where are you going with these two lunch boxes?" Yi Zhonghai, who was about to go to the cafeteria to eat, saw Qin Huairu holding two lunch boxes and walking out of the workshop, and immediately asked Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huairu heard Yi Zhonghai's question, she immediately introduced him with a smile: "Uncle Yi! Banggeng's uncle helped the Security Department get a big fat pig back from Changping Commune yesterday. The Security Department's canteen provided meat dishes for lunch today. Uncle gave me a meal coupon this morning and asked me to go buy some meat at noon and send it back home to satisfy my mother and Banggeng's cravings."

Ever since Jia Dongxu died, Yi Zhonghai planned to bring together Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu so that they could take care of him in his old age. However, what Yi Zhonghai did not expect was that the Jia family actually had an eldest son who had been lost for many years, and this eldest son had become the security chief of the steel rolling mill.

The appearance of Jia Dongming directly disrupted the retirement plan that Yi Zhonghai had set in advance, which made Yi Zhonghai very dissatisfied. However, due to Jia Dongming's identity, Yi Zhonghai could only temporarily stop his opportunities and planned to wait and see what Jia Dongming's character and personality would be like.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Yi Zhonghai's face showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He smiled and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! This morning, I was wondering why Section Chief Jia came to the workshop to look for you so early in the morning. So this is what happened. Since there is meat available in the small canteen of the Security Department at noon, you should go and get some food!"

The Security Department is quite far from Workshop 2. Qin Huairu walked for seven or eight minutes before she reached the small canteen of the Security Department.

"Isn't this Widow Qin? Why are you running to our security department's small canteen instead of going to the cafeteria to get food at this time? Do you know we have meat here and come here specifically to get meat?" A security guard asked Qin Huairu curiously as he looked at her holding two large lunch boxes in her hands.

Jia Dongxu had just passed away for more than a year, and Qin Huairu had not yet completely evolved into a white lotus. Facing the questioning of the security personnel, Qin Huairu shyly took out the meal coupon from her pocket and answered: "This is the meal coupon my uncle gave me. He asked me to come here to get food."

The security guard saw the meal coupon in Qin Huairu's hand and heard what Qin Huairu said. He asked her in surprise, "Widow Qin! Who is your uncle? How come he has a meal coupon for our security department?"

"Comrade Qin Huairu! You're here. I'm Zhang Guoping, the chief of the logistics section of the Security Department. Chief Jia told me everything before he went to the countryside this morning. Now I'll take you to the canteen to get some food." Qin Huairu heard the security guard's question and was about to answer when Zhang Guoping came out of the canteen and said to Qin Huairu politely.

When the security guard heard what Zhang Guoping said to Qin Huairu, he showed an incredible expression on his face and asked Zhang Guoping quickly, "Section Chief Zhang! Could this widow Qin's uncle be our new Section Chief Jia?"

When Zhang Guoping heard the security guard addressing Qin Huairu, he immediately showed dissatisfaction on his face, and reminded the security guard seriously: "Xiao Wang! Comrade Qin Huairu is the sister-in-law of our Section Chief Jia. Besides, great men have said that women hold up half the sky. How can you address Comrade Qin Huairu as Widow Qin?"

Guard Xiao Wang, upon hearing Zhang Guoping's introduction and learning that Qin Huairu was Jia Dongming's sister-in-law, showed an incredible expression on his face, and quickly apologized to Qin Huairu: "Comrade Qin Huairu! I'm sorry! I shouldn't call you the widow Qin. I hope you can forgive me this time." Xiao Wang's apology made Qin Huairu feel a little flattered, and she quickly replied: "It's okay! It's okay! I am a widow, and it's not wrong for you to call me that."

After Zhang Guoping led Qin Huairu into the cafeteria, he introduced her to the chef who was in charge of serving the food: "Lao Zhao! This is our Section Chief Jia's sister-in-law, Comrade Qin Huairu! Section Chief Jia had to go to the countryside for some business, so he gave his meal coupon to Comrade Qin Huairu. Hurry up and serve the food to Comrade Qin Huairu, because she has to take it back home to satisfy the cravings of the children at home."

When Old Zhao saw Qin Huairu carrying two lunch boxes and walking into the canteen, he was wondering why Qin Huairu came to their canteen.

Now, after hearing what Zhang Guoping introduced, Old Zhao's eyes flashed with surprise. He quickly picked up the big spoon in his hand and filled two boxes of braised pork for Qin Huairu.

If it were an ordinary day, Qin Huairu would definitely swallow her saliva when she saw so much braised pork. Since Jia Dongming came back, the Jia family has never been short of meat. When Qin Huairu saw the two boxes full of meat, she immediately handed the meal ticket to Master Zhao and thanked him politely: "Master Zhao! Thank you!"

The scene of Qin Huairu serving food made the relationship between Jia Dongming and Qin Huairu spread like a gust of wind within the security department of the steel rolling mill.

"Comrade! Who are you looking for?" Jia Dongming rode his bicycle to the gate of Mentougou Commune. The gatekeeper in charge of the gate saw Jia Dongming riding a bicycle and immediately stepped forward to stop Jia Dongming and asked him vigilantly.

Now, almost all the doormen in all units in the city are veterans who have returned from the battlefield. Seeing the doorman's alert expression, Jia Dongming immediately stepped on the brakes, took out his work ID from his pocket, and politely introduced himself to the doorman: "Hello, uncle! I am the security chief of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant, and this is my work ID!"

After hearing Jia Dongming's self-introduction, the gatekeeper took the work permit from Jia Dongming. When he saw the photo and official seal on the work permit and confirmed that they were correct, he handed the work permit back to Jia Dongming. Only then did he let down his guard and politely asked Jia Dongming, "Chief Jia! What are you doing here in our Mentougou Commune?"

Jia Dongming put his work permit into his pocket, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his other pocket, handed a cigarette to the doorman, and then introduced himself to the doorman: "Uncle! I want to borrow your phone. Is it convenient?"

When the doorman saw the cigarette that Jia Dongming handed over, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took the cigarette, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and said to Jia Dongming enthusiastically: "Chief Jia! The phone is over there in the office. Please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to help watch the gate for a while, and then take you to the office to make a call."

When Jia Dongming heard what the doorman said, he immediately thanked him: "Uncle! Thank you very much."
