Chapter 263 There's a problem with the lumber mill
Chen Yongqiang left the lumberyard with a truck full of timber, and drove the tractor to the main street of the town.
As he passed the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, he slowed down and glanced at the roadside.
Ding Wanru was standing on the steps of the supply and marketing cooperative, her canvas bag bulging considerably, indicating that she had already finished shopping.
Chen Yongqiang pulled the car over and stopped in front of her: "You're all done buying so quickly?"
Ding Wanru walked over carrying a bag: "Yes, I bought everything I needed, just in case you were getting impatient."
"I'll have to make several more trips. After this load is delivered back, I'll have to come back again. You can look around a bit longer; there's no need to rush back." Chen Yongqiang will have to make at least five or six trips to get all the timber for building the house back.
Ding Wanru smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go back with you and help you unload the wood before coming back."
"That's too much trouble. You rarely come to town, so take your time to look around and buy whatever you want to eat. It will take me an hour or two to go back and forth, so take your time and don't rush." Chen Yongqiang guessed that she probably hadn't bought everything she wanted.
"Then... I'll look around some more." Ding Wanru accepted Chen Yongqiang's suggestion.
"Okay, go ahead and explore. I'll come back to pick you up after I drop you off here." Chen Yongqiang eased off the accelerator and continued driving towards Shimen Village.
After driving three or four miles out of town, there were farmlands on both sides of the road, and no one in sight.
He glanced around to make sure no one was there, then stopped the truck, jumped down, and walked to the side of the truck bed.
With a thought, spatial abilities were instantly activated.
The timber vanished from the truck bed in the blink of an eye and was stored in the spatial dimension.
Chen Yongqiang jumped back into the driver's seat and turned around to head to the lumberyard:
"We must finish everything today, lest something unexpected happens."
The more I think about it, the more suspicious I feel about the expression on that middle-aged man's face when he asked about Jin Lao Er at the lumber mill.
And what about the factory manager who used to keep in touch with him? Where is he today?
The middle-aged man said that the factory manager had something to do and asked him to cover for the shift, but who knows if it's true or not?
Maybe the factory manager has already gotten into trouble.
Jin Lao Er is being held in the police station. In order to get a reduced sentence, he will definitely have to implicate a few people.
Over the years, he has had dealings with timber mills, and he has multiple channels for selling stolen goods. If he were to confess, he could implicate a whole string of people.
If the timber mill gets involved, the timber I went to pick up today might also be seized. Who will I turn to then?
As long as it's taken back and used to build a house, even if someone investigates, no one can do anything about it.
When the tractor drove into the lumberyard again, the middle-aged man was supervising the workers.
Seeing that Chen Yongqiang had returned so quickly, he looked down at the watch on his wrist.
"Boss Chen, you're pretty quick here! Shimen Village isn't close to the town; it usually takes at least an hour to go back and forth, right?"
Chen Yongqiang jumped out of the driver's seat: "We need to drive fast on the road. We need the wood for the construction at home, it's urgent."
The middle-aged man just smiled and said, "Boss Chen is an impatient person."
Chen Yongqiang checked it over and, after confirming that there were no problems, instructed the workers to load it onto the truck.
"Boss Chen, take care!" the middle-aged man called out from behind.
Chen Yongqiang's tractor drove out of the lumberyard. After driving a few miles, he stored the timber back into his spatial storage.
This time, Chen Yongqiang didn't rush back.
He parked the tractor under a big tree by the roadside and took out a cigarette case from his pocket.
Chen Yongqiang leaned back in his seat, took a drag of his cigarette, and slowly exhaled.
The timing has to be right. If we go back too early, that middle-aged man will become suspicious again.
The last trip was fast enough; this time we'll dawdle for a bit, just to make it look like we're going to go.
That middle-aged man at the lumber mill—he clearly has something to hide.
The factory manager who didn't show up has probably already been called in for questioning.
Chen Yongqiang thought to himself that once the remaining batch of timber was hauled away, the matter would be settled.
From now on, I'll avoid dealing with this timber factory as much as possible.
After finishing his cigarette, he stood there for a while, calculating that it was about time.
Then he jumped onto the tractor and drove back to town.
The lumber mill workers went home for lunch as soon as the truck was loaded.
Chen Yongqiang drove his tractor to the town and quickly found Ding Wanru.
After climbing onto the tractor, she said somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, I got so lost in the time while we were walking around. Let's hurry back and cook."
Chen Yongqiang drove on, saying, "It's rare for us to go out alone together. I'll take you to a restaurant for a nice meal."
Upon hearing this, Ding Wanru's eyes widened instantly, and a blush rose to her face.
"Eating out? That's such a waste of money, why not just cook something at home!"
"Listen to me." Chen Yongqiang drove the tractor through the town's main street, heading towards the state-run restaurant.
Ding Wanru sat next to him, secretly glanced at Chen Yongqiang, then lowered her head, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
The tractor stopped in front of the state-run restaurant. This was the best restaurant in town, much more impressive than the small eateries on the street.
Chen Yongqiang jumped out of the car, went around to the other side, and helped Ding Wanru down.
As soon as I walked in, a woman behind the counter looked up. She was in her forties, wearing a clean white shirt, and was Yao Lina, the hotel manager.
As soon as she saw Chen Yongqiang, she smiled and came out from behind the counter: "Oh, what a rare guest today! Boss Chen, what local products did you bring today?"
As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Yongqiang's hands, then looked behind him. She didn't see the usual sacks and baskets, but instead saw a young woman whose face she didn't recognize.
Chen Yongqiang replied with a smile, "Director Yao, we're not here to sell local products today, we're here to have a meal."
Yao Lina was a little disappointed: "Eat? Okay, okay, please come in and find a good seat."
Chen Yongqiang led Ding Wanru to a seat.
Ding Wanru was a little reserved, sitting in the chair without daring to move, but her eyes couldn't help but look around.
A portrait of the leader hangs on the wall, and the white tablecloth on the table is spotless, with a glass plate placed on top.
"What would you like to eat?" Chen Yongqiang handed her the menu.
Ding Wanru took it, glanced at it, and then put it down again: "You order, I'm fine with anything."
Chen Yongqiang accepted the menu without hesitation and waved towards the counter.
A waiter wearing a white apron came over with a notebook and pen.
"Give me a sweet and sour pork, and a pork stew with glass noodles."
Chen Yongqiang ordered two main dishes, then looked at Ding Wanru and asked, "How about some vegetarian dishes?"
"casual……"
"Then let's have the Three Treasures of the Earth, and a hot pot of pickled cabbage and pork belly." Chen Yongqiang closed the menu and handed it to the waiter.
Ding Wanru waited until he finished ordering before speaking softly, "You've ordered so much, it'll be a waste if we can't finish it."
Chen Yongqiang picked up the teapot on the table and poured her a cup of tea. "It's a rare treat to come out like this, so eat more. Besides, you're with two people now, so you need to eat well."
