My Courtyard Refuge

: Milk Powder Again

“Mr. Xu, I don’t know what you mean by this call?”

Xu Dong got straight to the point, without going around in circles:

“I want to sell this batch of electric fans. I wonder if you want to buy them back, Boss Wang?”

“Yes, of course!”

Boss Wang quickly expressed his opinion that with the current hot market conditions, even if you buy it at a high price, you can still make money.

“Okay, since I want to sell and you want to buy, let’s make an appointment to talk in detail?” Xu Dong suggested.

“Yes, I have time here anytime.”

Xu Dong considered that he would have to go to work during the day tomorrow, so he said:

“Then at seven o’clock tomorrow night, you can come to my house, or I can go to yours, whatever you choose.”

“Let me come over in person!” Boss Wang replied immediately.

In fact, he had a small calculation in his heart, and wanted to take the opportunity to confirm the batch of electric fans, so as not to be deceived.

“Then it’s settled. Seven o’clock happens to be dinner time at our house. Let’s chat while eating. I’ll send the address to your phone later.”

“Okay, see you tomorrow night.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Dong made an OK gesture to his mother, then talked about the meeting and asked Xu’s mother to cook a few more dishes.

…

Early the next morning, Xu Dong, as usual, drove the Cocoa sisters to school and went to work on the way.

This year’s May Day holiday, because the reconstruction work is far from over, the country only took a symbolic day off.

Besides, there is a shortage of supplies on the market, and people all over the country are in panic, and everyone is not in the mood to travel.

Arriving at the north gate of the company, as soon as Xiao Wang saw the boss running, he immediately opened the retractable door, and Xiao Cheng, who was on guard, also gave a military salute to Xu Dong.

Xu Dong lowered the car window and nodded to the three of them.

Came to the parking lot, parked the car, put the car cover on Daben, then went to the office, checked in for attendance, made a cup of green tea, and chatted with colleagues.

Near nine o’clock, then put on the security uniform and go to Ximen.

After getting along for more than half a month, Xu Dong has completely integrated into the TV series.I am also used to commuting to and from get off work on time every day.

“Brother Xu, morning!”

“morning…”

After saying hello, according to the usual practice, Xu Dong distributed a cigarette to each of the three subordinates. This can be regarded as a small benefit of the guard room!

After a simple arrangement of work, Xu Dong leaned back on the chair and read the book. It was not a physical book, but an online novel from a certain point, which Xiao Huang specially recommended to him.

Xu Dong fell in love immediately. This thing is very suitable for passing the time. It is much better than playing games. After all, games tend to lose their freshness after playing for a long time.

Just when he was enjoying watching, Xiao Huang suddenly came up and said:

“Brother Xu, I want to ask for two days off.”

Xu Dong put away his phone, raised his head and asked in concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No.”

Xiao Huang shook his head, and then explained: “The police station near my home is recruiting auxiliary police officers. I signed up before, and I will have a written test tomorrow.”

As the drought continues, in order to cope with the increasingly severe public security environment, major cities across the country are urgently expanding their police force, and the auxiliary police is a good supplement.

“This is a good thing, you can rest assured to go to the exam, I agree to ask for leave.” Xu Dong said with a smile.

“Thank you Brother Xu!”

“Thank you? Take the exam well, and I’ll wait for your good news.” Xu Dong encouraged.

Xiao Huang smiled wryly: “I hope, but with my body, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pass the physical examination.”

“Huang Yan, it’s best to find a relationship with your family. It shouldn’t be a big problem.” Xiao Wang had similar experience, so he suggested from the side.

Xiao Huang nodded: “My mother said the same thing. My uncle happens to work in a hospital, so I don’t know if it will work.”

===Section 31===

“Why do you think so much, let’s talk about it first after passing the written test.” Xu Dong was afraid that the other party would think too much, so he quickly comforted him.

Xiao Wang also echoed: “The recruitment of auxiliary police is not very strict, it will definitely work.”

Xiao Huang regained a little bit of confidence, and then nodded solemnly.

The morning time passed quickly, and soon it was lunch time, Xu Dong came to the cafeteria with his hands behind his back.

Compared to half a month ago, the food standard in the cafeteria has dropped a lot. There used to be seven or eight meat dishes, but now there are only five left.

After a while, it is estimated that these five meat dishes will not be able to keep. By then, you can eat whatever you have, and you don’t have to worry about choosing dishes anymore.

“Brother Xu, this way!”

Xu Dong took a closer look, it turned out that Xiang Xin was waving to him, and there were two other female colleagues at the same table.

Although he was reluctant, Xu Dong still walked over bravely, this time it might be something troublesome again.

Xiang Xin looked at Xu Dong’s dinner plate, and said strangely: “Brother Xu, it’s hard to have meat today, why don’t you order shredded pork with green peppers?”

As the saying goes, scarcity is the most expensive thing, and pork is much more expensive than seafood right now.

“I hate green peppers.”

Xu Dong made up a reason casually. The real reason is that his family has never been short of pork, and bacon and ham are almost inseparable.

On the contrary, seafood is not easy to buy. The family has not eaten seafood for more than a week, and the twins have long wanted to eat prawns.

“That’s such a pity.” After Xiang Xin finished speaking, he immediately picked up a small piece of shredded pork and put it on Xu Dong’s dinner plate, “Come on, have a taste!”

Alarm bells were ringing in Xu Dong’s mind, and he was courteous for nothing. It seemed that the three female colleagues must have something important to ask for.

“Try mine too.”

“I’ll give you a bigger piece of meat.”

Xu Dong hurriedly covered the dinner plate, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching, and said with a bitter face: “How many times have I told you, my snacks are really finished, so don’t worry about it.”

Gao Yuemei is the oldest of the three female colleagues. She is 52 years old this year and will retire in three years. In terms of seniority, she is second only to Section Chief Li in the department.

She shook her head and said:

“It’s not about the snacks, this time it’s the eldest sister who wants to ask you for something.”

Xu Dong saw that the other party’s tone was low, it should be a serious matter, and immediately corrected his attitude: “Sister Gao, if you have anything to say, just tell me, I will help if I can.”

“It’s not urgent. Let’s eat first, and we’ll talk after we’re done.” Gao Yuemei said politely.

“Also!”

Xu Dong intentionally sped up his eating speed. In less than ten minutes, all the food was wiped out. After sending it back to the plate, he even took a slice of watermelon.

“Miss Gao, can I talk now?”

Gao Yuemei nodded, and said, “Xiao Xu, Eldest Sister knows you are capable, can you help Eldest Sister get a can of milk powder?”

In fact, Gao Yuemei is also a dead horse and a living horse doctor. Among the people she knows, only Xu Dong is a real rich man. Rich people must have more channels than ordinary people.

Xu Dong was a little crazy, why is it about milk powder again, he never mentioned the triplets in the company, at most he mentioned it.

It’s broken!

“This…” Xu Dong faltered, “I can only say to help and ask if there is any, I don’t dare to guarantee it.”

Rejection is definitely not a direct rejection, otherwise it will appear insincere and easy to offend people. As for whether to help or not, I will talk about it later.

Xiang Xin immediately interjected, “Brother Xu, if you can help me, please help Sister Gao, her grandson has just been weaned, crying every day, and not eating well, Sister Gao was almost dying of worry. ”

“Hey, Xiao Xu, Eldest Sister only needs a can of milk powder to get through this month. You must help Eldest Sister. The price is not a problem. Eldest Sister is willing to pay for any amount.” Gao Yuemei pleaded.
