Chapter 259 The bullet shot back at me again (Please subscribe!)
March 3.28, Saturday.
At this moment, a group of drivers sat together, their eyes focused on Zhang Jinwu, anxiously waiting for the result.
Zhang Jinwu looked focused, with one hand firmly pressing on the heavy account book, and the other hand flying flexibly on the abacus.
The beads flew up and down with his fingers, making a "clicking" sound.
This voice seemed to have magical power, causing every master present to hold their breath and nervously wait for the result.
"Click!" With the last wave of the beads.
Zhang Jinwu stopped what he was doing and let out a long breath, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Lao Zhang, what's going on?" Master Zhao asked cautiously, his face full of nervousness and anticipation.
Other masters also gathered around, their eyes fixed on Zhang Jinwu's face, hoping to read the answer from his expression.
Zhang Jinwu looked around and saw everyone's nervous and expectant expressions. Suddenly, a big smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"We did it. We completed the purchase of 5 kilograms of food!"
As soon as the words fell, the whole air seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then, cheers that resounded through the sky broke out.
"Okay!"
"Finally completed the mission!"
"Great! I can finally get some good sleep!"
Master Zhao was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. The other masters also hugged each other and cried, their faces filled with unprecedented joy and relaxation.
The gloomy mood that had been lingering on everyone's face for nearly a month finally dissipated, and nearly a month's hard work finally paid off.
"Thank you everyone, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
After saying this, Master Zhao knelt down in front of everyone to express his gratitude.
"Hey, hey, hey, Master Zhao, it's over, it's over!" Everyone hurriedly helped Master Zhao up and stopped him from kneeling.
"We are all from the same transport team, we are all one family, there is no need to be like this, we have all gotten through this!" Master Lin consoled.
"How can I accept everyone's help for nothing? I..."
Master Zhao was so grateful that he couldn't express it in words. He wanted to give something to express his gratitude, but he had nothing to offer.
Zhang Jinwu came over, patted Master Zhao on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Okay, Lao Zhao, we are all family, there is no need to be so formal. If anyone has difficulties in the future, just help them."
Then, Zhang Jinwu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone has been working hard for almost a month. Tomorrow is the weekend, so everyone should have a good rest."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not get up tomorrow. I will just stay home and sleep." A master said with a smile.
"Me too!" echoed another master.
Recalling the difficult journey of the past month, they couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
In March, the entire transport team was busy, not only completing the transportation mission, but also purchasing food.
One person wishes he could be split into two.
They hardly have time to rest and are always rushing to purchase.
Joining them in the rush to buy food were not only the purchasers, but also people from all walks of life in the city.
Even when Master Zhao came out of the security department's detention room, no one had time to celebrate and they dragged him along to join the rush to buy things.
After a busy month, the purchase of 5 kilograms of grain was finally completed, and everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jinwu originally planned to use his own grain to make up for the shortfall if the purchase was not completed. Unexpectedly, he actually completed the purchase and even had 5 kilograms more.
"Okay, it's getting late, everyone should pack up and get ready to go off work." Zhang Jinwu said.
"Okay! Let's go home!"
Everyone cheered and packed up to go home.
On the other side, in the third purchasing department, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Fuck you, look at what you have done! We are short of 5 kilograms of food and we can't even complete the procurement. Do you all want to eat for free?"
"Five thousand kilograms of food, five thousand kilograms of food is missing!"
Sun Yongkai was cursing at the people from the third purchasing department, his words filled with anger and disappointment.
As he spoke, he walked around the office, pointing at a buyer and loudly questioning him from time to time.
"Speak up! Why aren't you talking?"
Sun Yongkai became even more angry when he saw their reactions.
He glared at everyone and suddenly pointed at one of them: "And you, didn't you say before that we couldn't complete the mission because we were short of 5 kilograms of food?"
"Now look, is this a slap in the face?"
"What? You don't want to talk anymore?" The buyer's face turned pale and blue when he was pointed at by him, but he didn't dare to refute.
"Pa!" Sun Yongkai slapped him angrily.
With 5 kilograms of food missing, the burden on everyone's shoulders was lightened a little, so naturally they became a little lazy and rested for a few days.
They didn't expect that they wouldn't be able to complete the purchase.
Someone said stubbornly: "Chief, the people in Section 4 haven't finished their purchases yet!"
"Pa!" Sun Yongkai slapped him again in anger, grabbed his collar, and said ferociously:
"How dare you say that? The fourth department is only short of 1,800 kilograms of food. What's the big deal? Even if we can't complete it, what's the big deal?"
"We are still short of 3 kilograms, which is more than three times the amount of the Fourth Department. They didn't lack 2 kilograms of food, but they were able to do this. Look at how you did it. How dare you raise the Fourth Department?"
"what!"
Sun Yongkai looked around and saw the buyer who was like a turtle hiding in his shell.
"Do you feel relieved, at ease, and less anxious when you have less food?"
Everyone knew in their hearts that they were indeed like that.
The lesson was enough, and Sun Yongkai was too lazy to waste his breath. The most urgent task was to solve the problem rather than complain.
"There are only three days left until the end of the month. I don't care what method you use, but at least you have to fill the gap of 2,000 kilograms of food for me!"
Some people just wanted to refute and explain, but were interrupted by Sun Yongkai.
"You brought this upon yourselves. If you didn't take it seriously in the beginning, you'll have to make up for it later. I don't care what method you use."
"Whether you use your own food to make up for the loss or spend money to buy food on the black market, I don't care. I just want the result!"
As soon as the words fell, someone naturally refuted.
One employee summoned up the courage to try to explain:
"Chief, it's not that we don't want to purchase, it's just that food is too scarce right now. Not only is there no food in the countryside, but even the black market is out of food. How can we make up for it?"
"Yes, it's all the fault of those drivers. They bought all the food for our territory. Otherwise, we wouldn't have failed to complete it."
"Not to mention nearby areas, they have even visited distant areas. They drive there by car, so how can we compare with them?"
The drivers can go to places that their buyers may not be able to go to. Since their purchasing range is wider, they are naturally faster than their buyers.
"Also, the people from Section 4 can ask for help from Transport Team 2, but we from Section 3 can't. When the people from Team 1 heard it was us, they picked up their weapons and chased us away."
"Also, it's fine that Team One didn't help us, but he also asked Team Two not to help us. How can we compare with him?"
"Yes, it's all Team One's fault!"
A group of buyers were scolding the transport team and trying to shift the blame.
Suddenly, Li Si, the first person to find the transport team and then kicked out, asked the question that had been hidden in his heart:
"Section Chief, what did you do? Why is it that the transport team, which helped us share 5 kilograms of food, treats us so badly?"
"During this period, if anyone goes to the transport team and reports that they are from the third purchasing department, they will be rude to us and even want to beat us up!"
Li Si's question left Sun Yongkai at a loss for words.
Could it be that he, Sun Yongkai, had obtained it by using despicable means in exchange with Zhang Jinwu?
The only buyer who knew about the situation had no idea how to respond. In order not to offend Sun Yongkai, he had to keep his mouth shut.
"What? You two can't make any purchases, and now you're blaming me?"
Since he couldn't answer them, Sun Yongkai naturally turned the tables and asked them back.
"If I hadn't helped you reduce the 5 kilograms of grain, you would be short of 8 kilograms now. By then, you wouldn't have to do procurement anymore, and you could all go to the workshops!"
When they heard about going to the workshop, everyone shut up instantly.
Working in the workshop is so tiring, the work is heavy and hard, it is far less easy and profitable than purchasing.
Sun Yongkai looked at their frightened expressions, but he didn't feel any sympathy in his heart.
"There are only three days left until the end of the month. I don't care what method you use, you must fill the gap of 2,000 kilograms of food for me!"
"You only have three days. If you fail to complete it within three days, you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"
After saying that, Sun Yongkai went into his section chief's office, leaving everyone looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
The people in the third purchasing department thought that they could relax because of the reduced food supply? In fact, they just transferred the 5 kilograms of food to the transport team.
The resources and territory of the buyers are limited. If the transport team does not have purchasing pressure, they will not be able to purchase much from these territories.
But once the task came, they had to complete both the transportation and procurement tasks, and the villages closest to the city of Sijiu were in trouble.
Most of all the food purchased takes up the purchaser's resources.
Sun Yongkai thought that he could live a carefree life by sharing the pressure, but in fact he ended up losing more than he gained.
The bullets fired 26 days ago are just hitting them again.
"Damn, what a bunch of trash!" Sun Yongkai threw the enamel cup on the table.
The outside buyers have to bear the consequences themselves, and he, the section chief, is not much better.
"Damn it, why am I so unlucky? I was relegated last year, and after finally getting promoted, I encountered something like this!"
Sun Yongkai kept cursing, and then he continued to think of ways to solve the problem.
In stark contrast to the depressing atmosphere in Section 3, Section 4 was filled with laughter and a celebratory atmosphere.
"Aiya, I finally get to rest after working so hard for so long. This month has been really exhausting for me."
"Yeah, I'm exhausted this month. I go to the countryside to purchase goods every day. I'm exhausted."
Someone suddenly mentioned the situation of Section 3: "What do you think is going on over there? They are short of 5,000 kilograms of food, so they should be much more relaxed than us, right?"
Someone retorted: "That's not certain!"
"What do you mean?" Everyone couldn't help but look at him curiously, even Section Chief Souichi Suenaga was no exception.
"When I came back just now, I heard Section Chief Sun scolding them. His voice was so loud that I could hear it clearly even when I was standing outside!"
"Really? That's impossible?" someone asked in disbelief.
"How is that impossible? If you go and listen now, the scolding is really bad. I guess they must not have finished their shopping."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone walked towards the direction of Section 3 curiously, wanting to eavesdrop on what was going on there.
Everyone huddled together and listened attentively, even Zong Changyi was no exception. Everyone left a good position for him to eavesdrop.
They heard, "You won't have to do purchasing anymore, just go to the workshop!"
Sun Yongkai's furious curses reached their ears clearly.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and they all smiled proudly.
They began to mock the people in Section 3: "It seems that the people in Section 3 are no good either. They are short of so much food and haven't finished purchasing it yet. It's really shameful!"
"Yeah, we worked so hard and they were the ones who got the job done. They deserve it. Let them rest!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
Zong Changyi listened to Sun Yongkai's furious curses and felt extremely happy. His joy was beyond words!
No matter what language or words are used, they cannot describe his happiness at that moment.
At first, they envied Sanke very much, as they could have a much easier time with so much less food.
But they couldn't do that. They tried to ask people from the third department for help indirectly, but they couldn't get less food. They could only go to the countryside to purchase it every day.
"I don't know why, but when I heard Section Chief Sun's scolding, I couldn't help but feel happy!"
"Me too. We worked so hard for a month, and they were either procuring or on the way to procure. They basically had no rest, not even on weekends."
"Now we have finally come to the end of our hardship! We can have a good rest now!"
Zong Changyi listened to their expressions and couldn't help but feel happy for them.
When he heard that Section Three would be short of 5 kilograms of grain, he of course went to find Sun Yongkai.
He asked him if he could help share some food with them to reduce the pressure on the four subjects, but this was naturally rejected by Sun Yongkai.
"Although we are all from the purchasing department, I can't guarantee that we can complete the task assigned by the higher-ups, so let's just forget it."
"After all, three subjects are three subjects, and four subjects are four subjects. Of course, if there is any extra at the end, I can give you some."
Hearing Sun Yongkai's tone that sounded like almsgiving, Zong Changyi hesitated for a moment and then refused, "If that's the case, then forget it."
Everyone worked hard to purchase, and finally the hard work paid off and it was time to enjoy happiness.
Zong Changyi straightened his clothes and said seriously, "Alright, what's the point of eavesdropping here? If someone sees us, how will they look upon our four departments?"
Everyone rolled their eyes at him. She had just been enjoying what they had just said, but now she was criticizing them.
"Ahem!" Zong Changyi was also a little embarrassed.
"I think we still have less than a thousand kilograms of food. Anyway, we can't buy all of it in the remaining three days, so everyone can have a good rest tomorrow."
"Don't go to the countryside to buy anything. Take a rest and don't get tired. We are not in a hurry."
"Okay! Thank you, Chief Zong!"
"Zong Keda Yi!"
Hearing everyone's praise, Zong Changyi accepted it with pleasure.
"Okay, everyone, please tidy up your clothes. We'll go in later and ask them if there's anything we can help with."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, "Chief, we haven't even finished our own shopping, how can we help others?"
"Pa!" Zong Changyi slapped him lightly on the head and said unhappily, "Do you think I'm going to help them?"
"Think carefully!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed a malicious expression, immediately straightened their clothes and put on a smile.
"Chief Sun!" Zong Changyi smiled and opened the door to go in.
"Hey, where is Section Chief Sun?" Zong Changyi was immediately puzzled. How come he disappeared? He just heard him talking.
The buyers from the third department looked at each other, and then at the buyers from the fourth department who came into the office one after another. There was a hint of inexplicable nervousness on their faces.
When Sun Yongkai heard the noise outside, he didn't have time to think about it and hurried out of the section chief's office.
"Chief Zong, why are you here? What a rare guest!" Sun Yongkai tried hard to force a smile.
All the purchasing agents from the four departments, including Zong Changyi, smiled. The situation has changed!
Zong Changyi looked at Sun Yongkai with a playful smile on his face.
"Oh, nothing. I just heard some noise over there and thought something happened, so I came over to check it out."
"Seeing that you are all right, I feel relieved. I won't bother you anymore. I'll leave first."
Sun Yongkai grabbed Zong Changyi and said, "Hey, Chief Zong, since you're here, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Zong Changyi pretended to be busy: "How can this be good? I am still working. I won't disturb you."
"Hey, there's no delay. It's almost time to get off work and there's nothing else to do." Sun Yongkai held Zong Changyi's hand and refused to let him leave.
Zong Changyi broke free from Sun Yongkai's hand and said jokingly, "Section Chief Sun, why are you holding me back? I have something else to do, so I won't delay you. I can't help you with anything!"
Sun Yongkai's face darkened. He naturally heard the sarcasm in Zong Changyi's words.
"Chief Zong, you are here not just to see us, right?"
The clan leader said righteously: "Well, don't tell me, I really came here to see you purely, I don't have any ulterior motives!"
Hearing Zong Changyi's joking words, how could they not understand what he meant.
I was suddenly ashamed and embarrassed. In the past, they begged me, but now the situation has changed and it is my turn to beg them.
Now, not only has my wish not been fulfilled, but I’m also being ridiculed and made fun of by others.
Sun Yongkai's face turned pale: "Since you have seen it, then you can leave quickly. We have things to do in the third department, so we won't entertain you."
Zong Changyi smiled proudly, "That's right, Chief Sun is right, let's go immediately."
"But I have to say one more thing. When dealing with people and doing things, you still have to be honest. Using those dirty tricks will not get you anywhere near good."
"Ah, you said so, Chief Sun!"
There was something ambiguous in Sounaga Yoshi's words, which were full of sarcasm and provocation towards the three departments.
"a ha ha ha--"
The purchasing agents from the fourth department laughed even more wildly after listening to Zong Changyi's words.
Listening to their ridicule, Sun Yongkai's face turned red and he looked at the group of buyers behind him.
They finally had a chance to show off. They had been suppressed by the people from Section 3 this month, and now they could finally turn around and mock them.
Sun Yongkai looked at their backs and his expression became even uglier.
He turned around and looked at the buyers behind him, and said coldly: "What are you still standing here for? Why don't you go to the countryside to buy!"
"You guys did this yourself, and I'm too lazy to clean up after you. Anyone who doesn't complete their purchasing tasks will be sent directly to the workshop next month!"
After saying that, Sun Yongkai rushed out and left the office directly.
The purchasing agents from the three departments were left looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
The purchasing agents from Section 4 were laughing even more wildly outside.
