Chapter 194 Invitation from the Textile Factory!
Chapter 194 Invitation from the Textile Factory!
"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"
At around ten o'clock in the morning, a rapid telephone ring suddenly rang. Jia Dongming heard the ringing, reached out and picked up the phone on the desk, and asked politely: "Hello! This is the security department of the steel rolling mill. I am Jia Dongming. Who is this?"
"Hello, Comrade Dongming! I am Zhang Huanchun. Are you free today at noon?" As soon as Jia Dongming finished asking, Zhang Huanchun's polite voice came from the phone.
When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Huanchun's question, he showed a surprised expression on his face and asked curiously, "Captain Zhang! I don't have anything to do at noon. What's the matter with you looking for me?"
Zhang Huanchun learned that Jia Dongming was free at noon, and smiled and introduced Jia Dongming: "Comrade Dongming! The situation is like this. Didn't we disrupt the theft case in the Finance Department and help the textile factory recover the stolen wages? Director Liu of the textile factory invited us to dinner in the textile factory cafeteria at noon to thank us."
When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Huanchun's introduction, he immediately understood why Zhang Huanchun called him, and replied with a smile: "Captain Zhang! The case was solved by the First Brigade. If the textile factory wants to invite guests, it should be the First Brigade. It has nothing to do with me."
When Zhang Huanchun heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately said to him, "Comrade Dongming! Although the thief was caught by the First Brigade, he was silenced due to the negligence of the First Brigade. If you hadn't discovered the cause of the thief's death and proposed a solution, the First Brigade would not have been able to catch the real culprit and recover the stolen wages from the textile factory. If we have to talk about merit, you should be the first."
Seeing that Zhang Huanchun had said so much, Jia Dongming naturally had no reason to refuse, so he smiled and said to Zhang Huanchun: "Captain Zhang! Since you said so, I will respectfully obey your order!"
Jia Dongming was very happy to see Zhang Huanchun agreed to go to the textile factory together. He said to Jia Dongming: "Comrade Dongming! Let's meet at the entrance of the textile factory at 11 o'clock in the morning."
When Jia Dongming heard the time Zhang Huanchun had agreed with him, he looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was already 10:23 in the morning. He replied, "Okay! Captain Zhang! I'll ride my bike to the textile factory now, and we'll meet at the entrance of the textile factory."
Jia Dongming made an appointment with Zhang Huanchun, put the phone on the landline, packed up his things, picked up his briefcase and walked out of the office.
When Jia Dongming reached the stairs, he saw Zhang Guoping, who was bringing back supplies. He smiled and asked the rolling mill, "Guoping! Have you brought back all the supplies?"
Zhang Guoping was about to go to Jia Dongming to report on his work. When he saw Jia Dongming coming downstairs, he thought of the reward given to them by the branch office and quickly reported to Jia Dongming: "Director! We have already brought back the supplies from the branch office. Director Li of the branch office said that our security department should be credited with the greatest merit in this enemy spy case, and they rewarded us with a freshly slaughtered fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms."
When Jia Dongming learned that the branch office had rewarded us with a big fat pig, he showed a surprised expression on his face, and then he instructed Zhang Guoping: "Guoping! Since the branch office has rewarded us with a big fat pig, then the canned beef I told you about before will not be distributed for the time being. Instead, each person will be given half a pound of pork. After all, canned beef can be stored for a long time."
Zhang Guoping heard Jia Dongming's arrangement and felt that it was very reasonable. He immediately nodded and replied, "Chief! I understand. I will ask the chef in the canteen to divide the meat and then notify the comrades to go to the canteen to get the meat."
Thinking of the three injured subordinates, Jia Dongming did not forget to instruct Zhang Guoping: "Guoping! For the three injured comrades, remember to select three pieces of pork belly and arrange for someone to deliver them to their homes. For my piece, please help me deliver it to the logistics warehouse and give it to my sister-in-law."
After hearing Jia Dongming's special instructions, Zhang Guoping immediately assured Jia Dongming: "Director! Don't worry, I promise I will make proper arrangements."
Jia Dongming was riding his bike when he saw Zhang Huanchun and two other people riding bicycles in front of him. He quickly sped up and caught up with them. He smiled and said to Zhang Huanchun, "Captain Zhang! I thought I would get to the textile factory faster than you, but I didn't expect you to be ahead of me." Zhang Huanchun subconsciously turned his head when he heard Jia Dongming's words. Seeing Jia Dongming catching up from behind, he smiled and replied, "Comrade Dongming! I almost set off after I called you. Plus, our branch is close to the textile factory, so naturally we are much faster than you."
Lin Minghua, who was following Zhang Huanchun, saw Jia Dongming riding a bicycle and caught up with him. Thinking of the theft case at the textile factory, he greeted Jia Dongming with gratitude and said, "Deputy Captain Jia! I was thinking of inviting you to dinner in a few days after the case is closed. I will borrow some wine from the textile factory at noon today. I must toast you a few glasses. Thank you for helping us solve the case at the most critical moment."
When Jia Dongming heard what Lin Minghua said, he immediately smiled and said to Lin Minghua: "Comrade Minghua! I was just a blind cat that found a dead mouse. I just happened to know that the fragrance of flowers can trigger asthma. I provided you with a clue. As for whether the case can be successfully solved, the key still depends on your comrades in the first team."
Zhao Baoguo heard Jia Dongming's modest answer and said to him with a smile: "Deputy Captain Jia! If there really is such a dead rat, let us bump into it a few more times in the future. This way, we don't have to worry about the case becoming an old case because the clues are broken."
While chatting, the four of them soon arrived at the textile factory. Upon seeing the four of them coming, Director Liu of the textile factory quickly led several leaders of the factory out of the factory gate, extended his hand warmly, and greeted the leader Zhang Huanchun, "Hello, Captain Zhang! We have been looking forward to seeing you here for a long time."
After shaking hands with Director Liu, the rolling mill immediately introduced him to Director Liu with a smile: "Director Liu! Let me introduce you. This is Comrade Jia Dongming, the deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of our Dongcheng Branch and the head of the security department of the rolling mill. The successful resolution of the theft case in your textile factory is all thanks to Deputy Director Jia."
Zhang Huanchun introduced this and turned to Jia Dongming: "Comrade Dongming! Let me introduce you. This is Liu Xiangqian from the textile factory, the factory director!"
When Jia Dongming heard Zhang Huanchun's introduction, he immediately lowered his posture, politely extended his hand, shook hands with Liu Xiangqian, and humbly greeted Liu Xiangqian: "Hello, Director Liu! It's a pleasure to meet you."
Although it was the first time that Liu Xiangqian met Jia Dongming, he had heard of Jia Dongming's name a long time ago. After all, the enemy spy case at the steel rolling mill had made the bosses in the department furious. What Liu Xiangqian did not expect was that this famous killer at the steel rolling mill would be so young.
When Liu Xiangqian saw Jia Dongming's outstretched hand and his respectful attitude, he quickly reached out and shook Jia Dongming's hand, shaking it vigorously and saying enthusiastically, "Director Jia! You are the head of the steel mill security department. You have just taken office for a few days and uncovered a conspiracy of enemy spies against the steel mill and successfully saved the special workshop of the steel mill. The bosses in our department praised you a lot at the meeting because of this incident."
After hearing what Liu Xiangqian said, Jia Dongming pretended to be flattered and quickly replied, "Director Liu! You must not say that. I am the head of the security department of the steel mill. It is my job to ensure the safe production of the steel mill. This is my responsibility."
After hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Liu Xiangqian smiled and said to Jia Dongming, "Director Jia! You can't say that. If you didn't have the ability, you wouldn't have discovered the enemy spies hiding in the steel mill and successfully captured them before you had a thorough grasp of the security department. So you must not underestimate yourself."
When Jia Dongming heard Liu Xiangqian's praise, he replied modestly, "Director Liu! In front of you, I am just a new recruit who has just started working. I still need the support and encouragement from you big brothers."
When Liu Xiangqian heard Jia Dongming's polite words, he naturally did not take Jia Dongming's words seriously. He then introduced the leaders of the textile factory to Jia Dongming and others one by one. After both sides greeted each other, he led everyone towards the small canteen of the textile factory.
