A well-behaved girl was deceived while searching for her husband; she married a childless military o

Last night, Qin Yuanzheng told Yang Wenyan, "The other party hastily transferred the stolen goods, so they probably couldn't hide them well. Therefore, he will definitely come forward again tomorrow to handle this matter personally, since he may not trust outsiders."

Qin Yuanzheng: "The other party is definitely a worker in the food factory, so he will probably ask you for leave. Cousin, just let him ask for leave. After he leaves the factory, Guan Wenjun can send someone to keep an eye on him."

As Qin Yuanzheng said this, Yang Wenyan was still thinking to himself, could that person be Du Erniu, who was in charge of delivering goods?

After all, food is scarce now, and most people are not getting enough to eat.

Theft of food by delivery workers is not uncommon.

However, the other party only dared to steal a few ounces, not too much, as it would be too obvious.

However, this time, 100 jin (50 kg) of the product was clearly stolen, and another 200 jin (100 kg) was suspected of being stolen, requiring evidence.

If it wasn't the delivery driver Du Erniu, then it must be the head of the sales department. After all, the delivery slips were issued by the head of the sales department, and he was the one who liaised with the customers. If he wanted to steal grain, it would be much easier for him than for others.

When Qiao Lanshu told him that Director Wei Zhengye was also a suspect, Yang Wenyan still harbored doubts.

Because Wei Zhengye had worked at the food factory for a long time, he was considered Yang Wenyan's right-hand man, helping him manage the workshop, and his work ability was outstanding.

Besides, he has a daughter and grandson to support, would he dare to do that?

Yang Wenyan was thinking about these things and remained silent for a long time.

Wei Zhengye thought Yang Wenyan wouldn't agree to his request for leave, so he said, "Factory manager, if it's not possible, I'll leave work early, an hour early is fine too. It's very cold outside now, and it gets dark early. If I leave work early, I can go and move the things over, and I won't have to walk in the dark."

Yang Wenyan lowered his head, glanced at the calendar on the table, and then said, "Alright, alright, do you think I don't know your family situation? If you want to take leave, then take leave. Go back and move your things as soon as possible, and get back to work right away."

Wei Zhengye smiled and said, "Okay, Factory Manager, don't worry, I'll be back to work in two hours at most."

With that, Wei Zhengye turned and left.

As soon as Wei Zhengye stepped out of the food factory, he was spotted by the management committee.

Guan Wenjun had given instructions that anyone who came out of the factory during working hours, no matter how many, should be secretly watched.

So, someone immediately followed Wei Zhengye.

……

When Qiao Lanshu left the food factory in the afternoon, she still had the delivery slip in her pocket.

Qin Yuanzheng came to pick her up early this time, because Guan Wenjun and Qiao Lanshu had been getting close recently, and Qin Yuanzheng was afraid that Guan Wenjun would harass his wife again.

As soon as Qiao Lanshu got into the car, he said to him, "Brother Zheng, I want to go to the state-run restaurant."

Qin Yuanzheng reached out and smoothed her scarf, asking, "Want to go to a restaurant for dinner?"

Qiao Lanshu shook her head, took out the receipt, and said, "I want to go to the state-run restaurant to ask and see if I can get any information."

Qiao Lanshu said in a low voice, "This morning, the delivery driver came to ask me for the receipt, but I didn't give it to him. I guess they didn't keep receipts before because the pickup slip and the delivery receipt are different; so the receipt that the sales department keeps for the finance department to check is probably the receipt from the state-owned restaurant."

Qin Yuanzheng understood; it meant one order for picking up goods and one order for receiving goods.

Qiao Lanshu guessed that the other party might have really delivered the goods to the state-run restaurant, but the state-run restaurant probably didn't want that much. For example, they might have taken 100 jin of goods, but the state-run restaurant only accepted 50 jin, and the remaining 50 jin was probably embezzled.

Qin Yuanzheng was silent for a while before saying, "They should have someone specifically in charge. If you, a complete stranger, show up, they might not be fooled."

Qiao Lanshu said in a low voice, "Go ahead and give it a try. I know what I'm doing."

She was still wearing her work clothes from the garment factory, which she deliberately didn't change out of, just to test the waters.

There was no way anything would happen in a state-run restaurant, Qin Yuanzheng thought for a moment, and then took Qiao Lanshu there anyway.

He whispered, "I'll wait for you at the door. If anything seems wrong, come out right away."

Qiao Lanshu nodded, got out of the car, took the receipts and went to the counter of the state-run restaurant. She smiled and said, "Hello, comrade, I'd like to talk to your purchasing agent to check an order. I work at the food factory."

As she spoke, she showed her work badge to the receptionist.

Upon seeing this, the receptionist immediately said, "Don't you usually come at the end of the month? It's only the middle of the month."

Qiao Lanshu: "This situation is a bit special..."

Then, she gave a hesitant look.

The receptionist didn't ask any further questions, just said, "Go straight to the office, Procurement Manager Liu hasn't left work yet."

Before Qiao Lanshu could say anything, the receptionist directly mentioned Liu, the purchasing agent.

It seems that Liu, the purchasing agent, is the one who is in contact with the food factory.

Qiao Lanshu followed the receptionist's instructions without making a sound and arrived at the office of the state-run hotel.

In the office, several people were working at their respective workstations. The state-run restaurant was very large and was specially used to entertain leaders from various departments, so it was usually very busy and the requirements for ingredients were also very high.

When Qiao Lanshu entered, everyone in the room looked up at her.

She stood there confidently and asked naturally, "Excuse me, comrades, may I ask who this Purchasing Manager Liu is?"

At that moment, a middle-aged man in blue overalls stood up from the window and said, "That's me, young man. You're... from the food factory?"

Qiao Lanshu smiled and nodded. She walked over to Liu, the purchasing agent, and deliberately whispered, "Purchasing agent Liu, it's like this, there was an order yesterday..."

She paused deliberately, staring at Liu's expression, and said in an even lower voice, "Director Wei asked me to come and get the receipt from you. He said it was a bit urgent and that I must get it from you in person."

When Liu Caigou saw Qiao Lanshu, he found that she was a young girl he didn't recognize.

Actually, I was a little hesitant.

However, Qiao Lanshu's expression, voice, and the fact that he mentioned Director Wei again...

Of course Liu, the purchasing agent, knows about yesterday's orders. Could it have been discovered?

Purchaser Liu's expression turned slightly serious. He looked at Qiao Lanshu, narrowed his eyes, and sized her up before asking, "Which department are you from? I've never seen you before?"

Qiao Lanshu pretended to be nervous and stammered, "I, I'm a temporary worker, I haven't been working here long."

Looking at her innocent appearance, Liu Caigou thought that he was probably overthinking it.

The food factory never keeps a copy of the delivery slip when it delivers goods.

The finance department reviews the goods receipts.

He can simply hand the receipt to Factory Director Yang Wenyan without any problems.

After all, his receipts were processed according to the proper procedures of state-owned restaurants, and in the past, a regular sales department employee would come to collect the receipts every month.

However, I heard that the sales department employee was arrested and sent to a labor camp for committing marriage fraud.

That's why a younger girl was brought in to collect the order.

Liu, the purchasing agent, thought it wasn't a big problem, so he pulled out yesterday's receipt for the twisted dough sticks and handed it to Qiao Lanshu, saying, "Just this one receipt? Do we need to take back the receipts for the first half of the month?"

He has more than a dozen orders here, all from food factories, a jumbled mess of things like pickled vegetables, bread, pastries, soy sauce, vinegar, and so on.

Qiao Lanshu certainly didn't want it, since those forms were useless to her; this was the only useful one.

She took the order and glanced at it briefly. She noticed that the weight of the twisted dough sticks listed on the receipt was only 20 kilograms.

That's forty jin!

Of the 100 jin (50 kg) of fried dough twists, the state-run restaurant only accepted 40 jin (20 catties). Where did the other 60 jin (30 kg) go?

The order form has the stamp of a state-owned restaurant, and the receiving clerk's signature is that of someone surnamed Liu, presumably the purchasing manager Liu.

Qiao Lanshu stuffed the form into her pocket, looked at Liu, the purchasing agent, with gratitude, and said, "Purchasing agent Liu, thank you so much. Director Wei needs this form urgently, so I won't take the others for now. I'll ask Director Wei when I get back, and if he wants them, I'll come back to you tomorrow."

With that, she turned and left, saying politely before she went out, "Thank you, Purchasing Manager Liu. I won't disturb your work any longer. I wish you all the best in your work and good fortune."

Purchasing Manager Liu: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Liu, the purchasing agent, muttered, "It's not even Chinese New Year yet, what's there to congratulate?"
