In 1959, what's wrong with me pedaling a tricycle?

The next morning, Wang Xingguo notified Wang Yongli and Wang Xingye, asking them to hold a meeting and offer their resignations from their positions as directors.

Neither of them had any objections; in fact, they breathed a sigh of relief. The situation at the trust store was just too bad, and they didn't have Wang Xingguo's abilities to manage the store properly.

Because Wang Xingguo left, the old leader did not apply for a bank gold and silver exchange point license for the trust store, so the restructured trust store was no different from other trust stores.

Wang Xingguo stayed at home with his wife and children, occasionally visiting the trust store to reassure the employees who genuinely wanted him to return, and to encourage them to work diligently under the supervision of the supervisors assigned by their superiors.

Gan Ping was not able to stay at the trust store, but was transferred to work at the district commerce bureau.

The current Bureau of Commerce is a single entity with two names. For example, the Dongcheng District Bureau of Commerce has two names: one for the District Bureau of Commerce and the other for the District Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Gan Ping was transferred to be in charge of the district supply and marketing cooperative, which was a lateral transfer, as his administrative rank remained unchanged.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Wang Xingguo had made quite a bit of jerky in his space and brought some back home. Li Xiuping quite liked it. Although it was tough to chew, it became more fragrant the more you chewed, and it was pickled to a perfect balance of sweet and salty, making it a great way to pass the time.

Wang Xingguo returned to his workplace with a backpack containing two cans of luncheon meat, two cans of beef, three kilograms of mixed dried meat, three bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor), two glass jars of pickled radishes, four or five cucumbers, and about ten tomatoes.

As soon as he returned, Director Ma assigned him a task: to urgently escort a batch of important supplies to Malan Farm.

Wang Xingguo looked at the list of supplies. There were no names or descriptions, only specific quantities and the words "Top Secret".

He frowned and said, "Director Ma, these things are too important. Shouldn't Section One and Section Two be responsible for escorting them?"

Director Ma explained, "They have more important tasks to carry out, so they had to temporarily assign you to take charge of this escort mission. Section Chief Wang, don't worry, the organization has great confidence in you and believes you can complete this important transportation mission."

Since that's what they said, Wang Xingguo had no choice. This time, he didn't need any of the people from his fourth section. He was only allowed to lead the escort team, and the rest of the work was assisted by soldiers from the army.

These items were not handed over in Malan town, but were transported directly to the Red District.

Malan Town is the main base of the Malan Base. It contains the family quarters and the administrative and logistics area, commonly known as Malan Town. It is the core area for daily living, material transfer and administrative office work of the Malan Base.

However, the research area is located in Hongshan District, 40 kilometers away. The equipment being escorted will only make a brief stop in Malan Town before being transported to the Hongshan Research Area. Only after the handover is completed there will Wang Xingguo be considered to have completed his escort mission.

This time, a special express military train was used directly. Apart from refueling with coal and water, it would not stop at any other stations, and there were no ordinary passengers. Only a company of PLA soldiers accompanied the train as escorts.

The company commander's name was Qiu Hong, and he looked to be in his thirties.

Wang Xingguo and Qiu Hong ate dried meat and drank wine together. Qiu Hong was not a talkative person, but a very meticulous one.

Wang Xingguo smiled and said, "Company Commander Qiu, this is my first time escorting supplies to Hongshan District. I'll need your help to remind me of some of the procedures."

Qiu Hong nodded and said, "Of course, Section Chief Wang, please rest assured. There are dedicated personnel over there to handle the handover. You just need to follow them to complete the handover procedures."

Wang Xingguo nodded without saying much. Everyone had to strictly abide by the "five no's and three guarantees" requirements, so they wouldn't chat idly or ask each other about things unrelated to work.

Because there was no need to stop at any station, this train arrived at Daheyan Railway Station after seven days and six nights.

Without stopping, after coordinating with the staff here, Qiu Hong arranged for people to check the vehicle. After confirming that there were no problems, he immediately began loading the supplies onto the vehicle as required.

Without stopping at the train station, the convoy departed directly for the next stop, Malan Town.

Wang Xingguo came for the second time, and he had actually gotten used to it. Even though the vehicle was swaying and rocking while it was moving, he could still fall asleep.

Upon arriving in Malan Town, Wang Xingguo and Qiu Hong handed over the supplies to the local staff. The staff checked the supplies and made sure there were no inappropriate items. After confirming that everything was in order, they signed for the release and arranged for someone to accompany the convoy to the next stop, Hongshan Scientific Research Zone.

The convoy was originally scheduled to stay here for one night to rest, but instead it set off again.

However, the Hongshan Research Zone is waiting for the items here, so they need to be delivered overnight.

With no objections from anyone, the convoy started again and continued on its way.

Those who can participate in such top-secret missions are all people recognized by the organization, so no one complains about the hard work; they only feel it is an honor.

Wang Xingguo didn't think the hardship was a big deal. After all, what's a little hardship when you're involved in such a great cause?

When the convoy arrived at its destination, Wang Xingguo followed the handover personnel to unload each piece of equipment, inspect it for damage, and make records.

Wang Xingguo met many experts on testing equipment here, and he was actually quite excited.

These pillars of the nation are all thin, but their eyes are bright and their voices are strong and clear.

After confirming that there were no problems, Wang Xingguo breathed a long sigh of relief.

He was worried that the equipment might be damaged during transport. Although it was due to force majeure, he knew very well that this equipment was hard to buy and would cost a lot of gold to acquire.

When Wang Xingguo's belongings were inspected, the food he brought was basically untouched, so one of the people in charge asked him if he could leave his things with them.

Wang Xingguo thought for a moment and asked, "The base shouldn't be giving the experts food of unknown origin, right? I can keep this, but will there be any problems?"

The person in charge laughed and said, "No, after we make the products, we will test and taste them first, and only give them to the experts to eat if we are sure there are no problems."

Hearing this, Wang Xingguo smiled and nodded, saying, "Then it's alright. You can keep the things. I can eat the train food when I get back, instead of eating dry compressed biscuits."

The person in charge wanted to give money, but Wang Xingguo refused, saying, "Why would I give money for something so small?"

What Wang Xingguo didn't know was that for every mission he took on, there was a file on him that the relevant personnel could review.

So, is there any need to worry about the security of Wang Xingguo's products?

No, that's unnecessary. Many of the supplies recently delivered were procured by Wang Xingguo, and his name is listed on the origin certificates. So, although everyone has never met Wang Xingguo in person, they all know who he is.

This is why Wang Xingguo is directly put in charge of urgent tasks; everyone feels at ease with such a trustworthy comrade.
