Chapter 20: Opening up a way out for Deputy Director Li
After finishing his meal, Lin Hao was about to go to the kitchen to look for Sha Zhu, but before he even entered the room, he heard Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu talking:
"Help you get ten kilograms of corn flour? No way, this is a question of professional ethics! I really can't do it, sister!" Sha Zhu said in a low voice.

Qin Huairu obviously didn't believe it. Sha Zhu had given her corn noodles before, so she said, "Come on, you're usually not so lucky!"

Sha Zhu said seriously: "How can you say that? When did I ever take any food? All I took were the leftovers from the meal the factory director and his friends treated me to! That was what I should have taken."

Then, he continued indignantly: "Oh, he is allowed to drink the workers' blood, but I am not allowed to drink some soup!"

"Good idiot, just help your sister!" Those big watery eyes, those expectant little eyes, wow.

"Comrade Qin Huairu, this is a beauty trap, we have to be serious about it!" At this time, Sha Zhu started to talk nonsense again.

Qin Huairu said seriously: "Come on!"

"Come"

At this time, Sha Zhu thought Qin Huairu was just teasing him!

"Come on! Take it off!"

As she spoke, Qin Huairu really started to take off her clothes. In fact, she was sure that Sha Zhu would not dare to do it for real here, because you know, someone might come in here at any time.

"Don't, don't do this! Don't scare my sister!"

Sure enough, when Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu really start to take off her clothes, he got scared and quickly begged for mercy and moved to the side.

Qin Huairu saw Sha Zhu avoiding her, so she pestered him and shouted, "Come on, take off your clothes! I'm telling you, if you don't take them off today, you're not a man."

Lin Hao also admired Qin Huairu. In order to get something to eat, she really used all her skills! But he was not going to listen to their advice anymore. He still had something important to do!
So she went straight into the kitchen and said, as if she had just discovered something, "Hey~ Sister Qin, you are looking for a man!"

When Qin Huairu saw Lin Hao coming in, she stopped talking. She knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes. Some methods might be useful against Sha Zhu, but might not be effective for others.

Sha Zhu was also afraid of bad rumors, so he quickly said, "It's okay, your sister Qin! She's just joking with me!"

Lin Hao said to Sha Zhu: "Oh, is that so? I thought Sister Qin was going to let you treat her as a man!"

Lin Hao didn't want to get involved in their flirting, so he continued, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot something important. How's the matter of finding Deputy Director Li that I told you about the day before yesterday going?"

Sha Zhu had actually forgotten about this matter and slapped his head:
"Oh~ I forgot about selling fish. How about I take you to find him now!" Sha Zhu reacted immediately and said quickly to make amends.

Lin Hao didn't care, as long as someone could introduce him: "Okay! Then I'll go out and wait for you! You should finish dealing with Sister Qin's affairs first!"

Lin Hao also did not forget to remind him about the matter between Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu said to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, you really can't take the things from this factory. I'll buy you some cornmeal later and send it to you in the evening, okay?"

"Well~, then okay!" Qin Huairu blinked her peach blossom eyes, but what she was thinking about was the matter of selling fish that they had just talked about.

Then he looked at Sha Zhu lovingly and whispered, "Sha Zhu, what does Lin Hao want you to do?"

"Hey! Don't look at me like that! It's nothing!"

"It's like this, I don't know where Lin Hao got a batch of fish from, and he wants to sell it to the factory." Sha Zhu did not hide anything, in his opinion it was just a small matter.

"Oh, so that's it! It's the eight or nine kilograms fish from last time! So it's for this matter!" Qin Huairu thought of the big fish she ate the day before yesterday. There was so much meat on it!

"That's about it! I didn't go into details!" Sha Zhu said indifferently.

Qin Huairu thought that Lin Hao had some fish and wanted to sell them to the factory. Is that possible~!

"Then Sister Qin, let's go out first! There's no one in the kitchen right now, and I'm not here either. It would be bad for others to see you alone in the kitchen!" Sha Zhu said with concern.
Qin Huairu had achieved her goal, so she stopped pestering Sha Zhu and said she would discuss other matters with him when she met him in the evening. Then she left the kitchen and went back to work. Sha Zhu then brought Lin Hao to the door of Deputy Director Li's office.

"Knock, knock, knock!" Sha Zhu knocked on the door.

Then the voice of Deputy Director Li was heard from inside the room.

"Please come in!"

"He Yuzhu, what can I do for you?"

"Leader, this is like this. This is a worker from our factory. He contacted us for a batch of fish and wanted to ask if our factory would accept them!" Sha Zhu stated the matter straightforwardly!
"Oh! Then tell me what the situation is!"

Generally speaking, you won’t be able to find him if you want to buy three or two fish. Now that he has come, the quantity should be quite a lot, so I’d better understand the situation first.

"Leader, only Lin Hao knows the specific situation. I still have things to do in the kitchen, so I'll leave first. You guys can discuss the details!" After saying that, he left. He actually didn't like this deputy factory director. He knew about the affair between him and Liu Lan.

Seeing Sha Zhu leave, there were only himself and Deputy Director Liu left in the office. Lin Hao said, "Director, I am an employee of our factory, my name is Lin Hao!"

"Here's what happened. When I was drinking with a friend of mine, he told me that when his village was cleaning up several ponds, they caught a lot of fish, all weighing four or five kilograms!"

"I heard that someone in our factory fainted at work, and the workers complained that the dishes were not oily enough. I thought that if our factory received this batch of fish meat, it could also provide some nutrition for our workers!"

Deputy Director Li nodded and said, "You, young comrade, are very progressive in your thinking!"

"Just ask them to deliver it directly! By the way, how many fish are there in total?"

When Deputy Director Li heard that the fish were caught from the pond, he didn't care much. He thought it was at most a few hundred kilograms. Although it was a small amount, it was worth buying, even if it was just to make fish soup.

Lin Hao said: "I went to check it out the day before yesterday and estimated that it was about 2,000 kilograms!"

"Oh! So much?" When Deputy Director Li heard that there were almost two thousand kilograms, he immediately became interested. Not only can it be used to make soup, but it can also be made directly into a dish!

Lin Hao replied: "Director, it's like this. Their village is quite far from the city, and they are still short of some things. They want to ask if we can exchange part of the money for other things."

"Oh, what do they want to change?" asked Deputy Director Li.

"Food coupons, cloth coupons, and other non-staple foods are in small quantities, so I asked them to write a list. Take a look!" As he said this, he handed the stamped list from Village Chief Li to Deputy Factory Director Li.

Afterwards, Deputy Director Li looked at the list of results and saw the seal of Lijia Village on the back, which seemed to be not an individual act.

Seeing that Deputy Director Li was just looking at the list and didn't say anything, Lin Hao continued, "But they said that if this matter is difficult, they won't force it!"

After reading the list, Deputy Director Li pondered for a while and said, "These are all minor issues. When can they be delivered?"

"Director, their village is a bit far away. I'll make a trip there later and I guarantee it will be delivered early tomorrow morning!" Lin Hao replied.

Deputy Director Li said solemnly: "Okay, then you'll have to take the trouble to make this trip for all the employees in the factory!"

At this time, Lin Hao also flattered him at the right time: "Director, you are too polite. It is my duty to do things for you. If you have any questions in the future, just tell me!"

Seeing that Lin Hao was so sensible, his words and deeds were not timid, and his speech was also clear and logical. When he saw that the factory had difficulties, he could take the initiative to think of solutions, so he became interested in him and asked:
"By the way, which workshop are you from?"

"I'm Lin Hao, a fitter in the second workshop. I just passed the assessment today!"

"Okay, I see. Go do your work first!"
