Chapter 45: Three things to do when a new official takes office!
Jia Dongming didn't have to wait long. After the doorman arranged for someone to help him guard the gate, he led Jia Dongming to an office and introduced him to a middle-aged man sitting in the office with a smile: "Director Lin! This is Section Chief Jia from the Security Department of the Steel Rolling Mill. He wants to borrow a phone from us, so I brought him here specially."

After hearing the doorman's introduction, Director Lin said to him cordially and respectfully, "Uncle Guo! Chief Jia, please leave the matter to me. You can go back and get busy first!"

When the doorman heard what Director Lin said, he smiled and nodded, and replied, "Okay! Then I'll go back to the duty room first."

After watching the doorman leave, Director Lin politely introduced himself to Jia Dongming: "Chief Jia! Hello! I am Lin Zhonghua, and I am glad to meet you. The phone number is right there, so feel free to call."

When Jia Dongming heard what Lin Zhonghua said, he first took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Lin Zhonghua, then smiled and thanked him: "Director Lin! Thank you!"

Jia Dongming walked to the desk where the phone was placed, reached out to the phone in front of him, shook the phone handle vigorously a few times, then picked up the receiver and asked politely, "Is this the switchboard? Could you please transfer me to the Security Department of the Steel Mill, the Logistics Office?"

"Hello! This is the logistics office of the steel rolling mill. Who is this?" The call was connected not long after it started. Before Jia Dongming could even open his mouth to speak, a middle-aged man's voice with full energy came through the phone.

Jia Dongming knew from the voice that the person who answered the phone was not Zhang Guoping, so he introduced himself: "I am Jia Dongming, let Comrade Guoping answer the phone."

"Hello, Chief Jia! Section Chief Zhang has been feeling uncomfortable in his stomach since he ate braised pork this afternoon. He just went to the bathroom. Please wait a moment. I will call him to answer the phone for you." The middle-aged man who answered the phone heard Jia Dongming's self-introduction and hurriedly and respectfully told Jia Dongming where Zhang Guoping had gone.

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Jia Dongming immediately realized that Zhang Guoping had diarrhea because he had not eaten meat for a long time. Suddenly eating meat caused gastrointestinal discomfort, which led to diarrhea.

"Chief! I heard from Lao Liu that you have something to talk to me about. Did you catch any prey?" Jia Dongming didn't have to wait long before he heard Zhang Guoping's weak voice asking over the phone.

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Guoping's question and felt Zhang Guoping's weak voice, he immediately asked Zhang Guoping: "Guoping! How many comrades in our department have diarrhea because of eating meat today? Have you asked the factory doctor to come and prescribe some medicine for the comrades?"

When Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming asking about the situation in the department, he immediately remembered the scene that happened in the security department after they had eaten the braised pork at noon.

In response to Jia Dongming's inquiry, Zhang Guoping immediately reported to Jia Dongming: "Chief! Some comrades in the department had gastrointestinal discomfort in the afternoon because they had not eaten meat for a long time. The factory doctor examined us and prescribed antidiarrheal medicine. The doctor said that they will be fine tomorrow."

Zhang Guoping said this, thinking of the rumors in the steel mill that afternoon, and he hesitated to speak. Finally, he thought for a while and said to Jia Dongming, "Chief! The situation is like this. Many comrades in the department have gastrointestinal discomfort due to the meat at noon."

"As a result, some people with ulterior motives spread the saying in the factory that a new official should start with three things, and your first move was to use pork, which made all the comrades in the department sick."

Jia Dongming on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing when he heard Zhang Guoping's introduction. He asked Zhang Guoping, "Comrade Guoping! If this is my first fire after taking office, ask the comrades in the department if they would like me to burn it every day?"

Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's question and answered without thinking: "Section Chief! If it were me, I would hope you would light this fire every day!" After hearing Zhang Guoping's answer, Jia Dongming immediately changed the subject and ordered Zhang Guoping: "Comrade Guoping! Contact the fleet immediately and ask them to send a car to Mentougou Commune, at the foot of the West Mountain. I will wait for you there. Also notify the people in the cafeteria to stay and work overtime tonight."

When Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he remembered the purpose of Jia Dongming's trip to the countryside today. He immediately showed an ecstatic expression on his face and quickly asked Jia Dongming: "Chief! Did you catch any prey when you went to the countryside today?"

When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Guoping's question, he thought of what he had gained in the mountains today, and replied with a proud look on his face: "Comrade Guoping! If I hadn't gained anything, would I have asked you to borrow a car from the fleet? I'll be waiting for you at the foot of the West Mountain, so come over early."

When Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he immediately nodded and replied, "Section Chief! I will contact the team right away and ask them to pick you up at the foot of the West Mountain."

When the staff in the logistics section heard the conversation between Zhang Guoping and Jia Dongming, one of them immediately asked Zhang Guoping, "Section Chief! Did our section chief catch any prey in the mountains?"

After Zhang Guoping hung up the phone, he immediately reached out and pressed the phone, shaking the handle while saying, "If our section chief doesn't catch any prey, will he let me borrow a car from the fleet?"

"Switchboard? This is the Logistics Section of the Security Department. Could you please help me connect the convoy and let Captain Jiang answer the phone?" As he spoke, the call was connected, and Zhang Guoping shouted to the switchboard with a happy face.

After Jia Dongming finished the call, he put the receiver back on the landline and politely thanked Director Lin: "Director Lin! Thank you!"

When Director Lin heard Jia Dongming's thanks, he replied politely, "Chief Jia! We are all serving the people, so don't be polite to me."

After saying goodbye to Director Lin, Jia Dongming left Mentougou Commune on his bicycle and rode towards the place where he had agreed to meet with Zhang Guoping.

After arriving at the agreed location, Jia Dongming found a place to sit down and began to take stock of what he had gained in the mountains that day.

Today in the mountains, Jia Dongming used super bait to successfully attract three roe deer, seventeen wild boars of all sizes, thirteen wolves and a bear.

Jia Dongming planned to keep two of the silly roe deer and one wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms. After returning to the yard, he would ask Sha Zhu to kill it and give some to the residents in the yard. The rest would be made into bacon and eaten slowly. As for the wild wolves, he would take out three of them first, and the brown bear would be temporarily stored in the space and dealt with when he found a chance.

After making up his mind, Jia Dongming found a deserted place and took out all the prey he planned to transport back to the factory. He then took out some food from the system space and ate while waiting for the factory's car.
