Chapter 162 Reconnaissance!

"I didn't expect that Section Chief Jia was promoted again just a few days after taking office!" In the forging workshop, Liu Haizhong heard the news of Jia Dongming's promotion and an envious expression appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself.

"Master Liu! From what you said, do you know Director Jia?" A worker nearby heard Liu Haizhong mumbling and asked him curiously.

When Liu Haizhong heard the worker's question, he remembered the relationship between him and Jia Dongming, and his face immediately showed a smug expression. He immediately showed off: "Chief Jia and I, no, it should be Director Jia. Director Jia and I live in the same compound. I am the second uncle in the compound. Usually, Director Jia calls me the second uncle when he sees me. We even had drinks together twice last week."

When the worker heard Liu Haizhong's boasting, he believed it and said to Liu Haizhong with envy, "Master Liu! Who has the most power in our steel mill? It's definitely Director Jia. After all, even the factory director can be arrested if Director Jia says so. You have such a good relationship with Director Jia. In the future, as long as Director Jia says so, you will be promoted to a leader sooner or later. You must take good care of us workers when the time comes!"

Liu Haizhong is not only a bureaucrat fan, but also a fool. Facing the flattery of his coworkers, he was extremely proud, as if he could become a leader immediately. He assured his coworkers: "Xiao Wang! If I can really become a leader, I will definitely take care of you."

For the members of the security department of the steel rolling mill, the week when Jia Dongming took office was undoubtedly the happiest week for them, because not only did they get to eat the pork they had been craving for, but they also received a bonus of 70 yuan. This made everyone in the security department, from top to bottom, admire Jia Dongming, the top leader.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, people from the personnel department of the General Administration came to the steel rolling mill and then took Jia Dongming to the Dongcheng Branch.

"Director Zhou! Welcome to our Dongcheng branch to guide our work!" When Li Xidong saw Director Zhou who was in charge, he immediately stepped forward and greeted Director Zhou enthusiastically.

When Director Zhou and Li Xidong heard what Li Xidong said, they smiled and said to Li Xidong, "Director Li! I am not here to guide your work at the Dongcheng Branch today, but to bring you talents."

After hearing Director Zhou's introduction, Jia Dongming saluted Li Xidong and said seriously, "Hello, Director Li! From now on, I will be your soldier. Please give me your guidance!"

Seeing Jia Dongming saluting him, Li Xidong also saluted back and said with a smile: "Director Jia! I have been looking forward to seeing you here for so long. Come! Let me introduce you!"

After hearing Li Xidong's introduction, Jia Dongming greeted the leaders of the Dongcheng Branch one by one, and then walked into the Dongcheng Branch under the leadership of Li Xidong.

After having lunch at the Dongcheng Branch at noon, it was already past 1:00 p.m. Jia Dongming, who was idle, thought of the blacksmith shop that Qian Quezi confessed to. His intuition told Jia Dongming that there must be something wrong with this blacksmith shop, so he rode his bike back to the steel mill, changed into his usual clothes in the office, rode his bike out of the steel mill, and rode towards the blacksmith shop.

According to Qian Quezi's instructions, it took Jia Dongming more than twenty minutes to ride to the blacksmith shop. When he heard the sound of "ding ding dang dang!" coming from the blacksmith shop, Jia Dongming did not stop his bicycle, but rode past the blacksmith shop like a passerby.

After passing the blacksmith shop, Jia Dongming rode forward until he reached the corner of the road, then he stepped on the brakes, held the bicycle with his feet, and turned to look at the blacksmith shop not far away.

Jia Dongming looked at the blacksmith shop in front of him and immediately activated his Eagle Eye skill to start checking the situation in the shop. The result was just as Jia Dongming expected. There was a basement in the backyard of the blacksmith shop, and in the basement was a radio and several boxes of weapons and ammunition.

"The fan fiction of Siheyuan is really true to me. I didn't expect that this blacksmith shop is really an enemy spy's hideout as described in the novel. However, according to the description in Siheyuan's novel, the enemy spies in this blacksmith shop also have a secret arsenal on the mountain in the suburbs of Sijiu City. It seems that we need to spend some time to keep an eye on this blacksmith shop."

Jia Dongming was very excited about this discovery, but he did not stay here for long, but rode his bicycle towards the trust store. "Comrade! What do you want to buy?" Jia Dongming parked his bicycle and walked into the trust store. A clerk immediately came forward and greeted Jia Dongming enthusiastically.

When Jia Dongming heard the clerk's question, he took out a pack of Peony cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to the clerk before he said, "Comrade! Do you have any wooden doors for sale?"

"Comrade! Thank you for the cigarettes!" When the clerk saw the Peony cigarettes handed over by Jia Dongming, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly reached out to take the cigarettes, thanked Jia Dongming, and quickly put the cigarettes to his ears. Then he began to introduce: "Comrade! We have several kinds of wooden doors here. I wonder if you are going to install them outside or indoors?"

When Jia Dongming heard the clerk's question, he immediately introduced himself to the clerk: "Comrade! I want to open a small door in the wall of my house so that it will be convenient for me to go in and out on weekdays. Do you have any good recommendations?"

When the clerk heard Jia Dongming's introduction, he immediately smiled and said to him, "Comrade! For doors that are often exposed to the outside, I suggest you choose oak or mahogany. These two types of wood are highly resistant to water and corrosion and are most suitable for installation outside. We happen to have several such wooden doors here. I will take you to the warehouse to have a look."

The clerk said hello to another clerk, then took out a bunch of keys from the counter and led Jia Dongming towards the warehouse.

Not long after, Jia Dongming, led by the clerk, came to a warehouse. Jia Dongming looked at the furniture placed in the warehouse. Although he didn't know what kind of wood these furniture were made of, he knew that in later generations, golden nanmu, red sandalwood, and huanghuali wood were all very expensive woods. If he stockpiled some now, it would definitely be a considerable fortune in the future.

"Comrade! The doors here are very suitable for outdoor installation. These two doors are made of mahogany, and the other three are made of oak." The clerk led Jia Dongming to the area where the wooden doors were placed, and immediately introduced the materials of these doors to Jia Dongming enthusiastically.

After hearing the clerk's introduction, Jia Dongming looked at the wooden doors in front of him and said to the clerk a little embarrassedly: "Comrade! I don't know which material is good when buying wooden doors. Can you give me some recommendations?"

Perhaps because of the cigarette, the clerk immediately introduced Jia Dongming when he heard his question: "Comrade! Oak is a material with high hardness and strength. It has good water resistance and corrosion resistance. It is very suitable for outdoor doors and other doors that are often exposed to rain."

"Mahogany is also a high-quality material for making durable doors. It has very high water resistance and corrosion resistance, is not easily corroded or deformed, and has a high hardness, so it is not easily cut or worn. I personally think that if you don't have enough money, choose an oak door, and if you have enough money, choose a mahogany door."

When Jia Dongming heard the clerk's recommendation, he immediately had the answer in his mind. He pointed to a wooden door in front of him and asked the clerk with a smile: "Comrade! How much does this wooden door made of red wood cost?"

The clerk saw the wooden door that Jia Dongming pointed at and said to him with a smile, "Comrade! This wooden door has been specially waterproofed, so the price will be a little higher. The door and the door frame will cost a total of thirty-seven yuan."

When Jia Dongming heard the price quoted by the clerk, he didn't think much about it and replied with a smile: "Comrade! I want this door. Also, if you have any better furniture, please recommend some to me."

When the clerk heard what Jia Dongming said, he naturally understood what he meant. He smiled and asked Jia Dongming, "Comrade! What kind of furniture do you want to buy?"

When Jia Dongming heard the clerk's question, he took out the pack of Peony cigarettes he had just opened from his pocket, stuffed it into the clerk's hand, and replied with a smile: "I only buy what I like. As for the price, there is absolutely no problem."
