1994: Starting with unpaid leave

After leaving the director's office, the three of them walked out of the school gate.

Even as he stood outside the school gate, Dong Weiguo was still in a daze.

"Rui, pinch me..."

The kickback of over ten thousand yuan was saved in less than ten minutes when his younger brother went in to talk to him.

Even if it were someone else, let alone him, no one would believe it!

His wife, Zheng Rui, didn't hold back and pinched his waist.

He was in so much pain that he grimaced and couldn't speak.

Dong Jianguo smiled and patted his second brother on the shoulder:

"Brother, I've secured the shop for you."

"Although the business at No. 3 Middle School seems good, there's basically no business during the winter and summer vacations. Your sister-in-law is devoted to education and may not be able to help you much, so if you want this business to make more money, you'll have to put in a lot more effort..."

"Sister-in-law, my brother is a bit stubborn, so you should keep an eye on him. As long as a couple is of one mind, there's no hurdle they can't overcome."

Dong Jianguo believes that his second brother and sister-in-law's divorce in his previous life was most likely due to economic problems.

When you have money, even big problems become small problems.

When you don't have money at home, even small problems become big problems.

I've done all I can. As for what happens to the two of them later... that's up to them.

Realizing what had happened, Dong Weiguo was visibly excited. He reached out and grabbed his younger brother's hand, shaking it frantically.

"Jianguo... I really didn't expect you to be this amazing..."

"I……"

Dong Jianguo waved his hand:

"You don't need to say nice things here. Just remember to praise me a couple of times next time the family eats together. Just don't stay silent when your sister-in-law criticizes me."

"By the way, do you have enough money to buy the goods?"

Second sister-in-law Zheng Rui remembered that she hadn't thanked Dong Jianguo yet, so she quickly interrupted, "Jianguo, you don't need to worry about that. We two still have the money to buy the goods."

Dong Jianguo nodded, took his backpack off his back, opened the bag, took out a red envelope he had prepared beforehand, and handed it to his second brother:

"Brother, this is your first time trying to do business, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Hey, Jianguo, what are you doing? You've already helped me so much... how could I possibly take your money?"

"Oh, Guangxing, you gave me money, can't I at least give you a little something in return?"

Dong Jianguo glared at him and stuffed the money directly into his second brother's pocket.

Seeing this, Zheng Rui, the second sister-in-law, suddenly remembered something: "Jianguo, although we didn't give Director Bai any benefits this time, what do you think about... when we make money?"

"No need. Director Bai will be transferred in about ten more months... There's no point in trying to please her."

Zheng Rui was taken aback, not understanding how her brother-in-law knew so much about what was happening at their school.

"I learned about this from other leaders. Don't worry, the information is definitely accurate. Just keep your distance from her at school."

After giving his instructions, Dong Jianguo revealed his plan to sell some of his factory's products at his second brother's convenience store.

"But don't worry, all the food we sell has a certificate of conformity, and we will never cheat you."

"Wait, when did you start another food factory?"

Dong Weiguo looked at his younger brother in surprise.

It felt like every time they met, Jian Guo could give him a different kind of surprise...

……

Meanwhile, the truck carrying Tsuru no Mi braised eggs also arrived in Harbin smoothly.

The railway workers responsible for receiving the train unloaded boxes of braised eggs and delivered them to the temporary warehouse of the passenger transport section.

Over there, the train attendants on the passenger train can register to receive the goods, which means they have entered the normal sales process.

Because there were three extra boxes of goods, Deputy Director Wan's secretary, Xiao Wang, personally made a trip to bring the three boxes of pickled chicken feet back to the railway bureau.

Since Director Zhang wasn't in his office, he had no choice but to temporarily keep Director Zhang's share of chicken feet for himself.

Then, carrying a box, he knocked on Deputy Director Wan's door.

"Enter……"

Xiao Wang entered the office and saw only Deputy Director Wan there, holding a box and smiling.

"Director, look, that young Dong brought you something last time."

"Giving gifts again? So young, why are you always doing this?!"

Director Wan frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Previously, they would just send a bag of braised eggs home, which wasn't a big deal.

But this time it's a box full of unknown contents. If word gets out, it won't sound good...

As a leader's secretary, Secretary Wang's daily task was to decipher the meaning behind his leader's words. He understood his leader's concerns and smiled knowingly, saying:

"Don't worry, Director, I retrieved it myself; it didn't pass through anyone else's hands. Besides, Factory Director Dong said there was no other meaning; it's just a new product from their factory, and he wanted you to try it..."

"A new product? This young Dong..."

You really understand me...

Upon hearing that it was food, Director Wan immediately lost his temper...

The braised eggs that were delivered to his home last time were long gone, but he still can't help but smack his lips whenever he thinks of their rich and delicious flavor.

He also had his wife try braising eggs at home. Although he added pork and pork skin to increase the oil flavor, his wife was really not good at it. The braised eggs were too greasy, and she lost her appetite after eating just one.

I wonder what new tricks Xiao Dong will come up with this time.

"Xiao Wang, just open the box and take a look."

"Huh? Director Wan isn't going home to open the box?"

"You open it. If there's anything you shouldn't have inside, just send the box back. That will also serve as proof that I didn't do anything wrong."

Since Director Wan had said so, Secretary Wang nodded.

I used a utility knife to cut open the box containing Crane Flavor. Inside, there were only a dozen or so bags of pickled chicken feet, nothing else.

Director Wan walked over, picked up a bag, and looked at it: "What's this? Chicken feet?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've ever seen this thing."

Looking at the white chicken feet and pickled peppers crammed together in the transparent, sealed packaging, mixed with a lot of white brine, Secretary Wang shook his head immediately:

"By the way, I heard from Factory Manager Dong on the phone that he hasn't received the certificate of conformity for this new product yet. Director Wan, would you like to wait until the certificate is issued before trying it?"

"What are you afraid of? This little bit of food won't kill anyone. Will his factory even stay in business?"

"eat!"

As it was nearing the end of the workday, Director Wan was also getting a little hungry.

Since it's just a few bags of chicken feet, it's not a big deal to eat them.

After all, when the house was sold to Dong Jianguo and his wife, that brat managed to bargain down the price by 1000 yuan.

Thinking of this, he grabbed a package and tore it open with a whoosh.

He's become quite experienced at eating sealed braised eggs, and this time not a single drop of the braising liquid from the chicken feet spilled.

As soon as you tear open the packaging, a rich and refreshing sour aroma wafts out.

That's not all; there's also a rich and spicy aroma mixed with wild chili peppers.

Director Wan sniffed, looking suspicious.

"What's this smell? It's so strange!"
