60s: I have a store

Chapter 158 Director Huang of the Research Institute

Zhang Jianshe took Zhou Yimin and others directly to the research institute, but did not bring them in.

Not everyone can enter a research institute casually.

Ordinary research institutes are fine, but theirs is not ordinary.

"Wait for me here for a while."

After that, Zhang Jianshe hurriedly rode his bicycle inside, leaving Zhou Yimin and the others near the door. There were still people standing guard at the door, holding guns.

This time, Zhang Jianshe went directly to find the person in charge of the canteen.

Their research lab can’t even eat two wild boars!

He knew that his colleagues in other research laboratories were also suffering from malnutrition.

Anyway, their research laboratory is beneficial to the people, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so there is no need to worry about having nothing to eat. After the experience of going to Zhoujiazhuang the day before yesterday, he also understood a little bit of his future son-in-law's thoughts.

"Director, a comrade from the institute is looking for you." someone reported.

Director Huang, who was in charge of logistics, was stunned: "Looking for me? Who?"

Although he was the head of the institute's logistics department, he was not very familiar with the researchers there. The main reason was that they could not talk to each other. They had no topics to talk about. All they talked about were profound scientific theories, and he could not get a word in.

"Comrade Zhang Jianshe."

Director Huang thought about it and then he remembered something about Zhang Jianshe.

There are many comrades in their research institute, with more than 20 to 30 research laboratories, and the largest one has dozens of people. Director Huang was unable to remember every researcher.

This is normal, after all, the two sides don’t have much interaction in normal times.

Director Huang followed his subordinates out.

"Comrade Zhang Jianshe, what do you want to talk to me about?" Director Huang stretched out his hand.

His mind was full of doubts now. He looked at Zhang Jianshe and wondered if he was asking him for extra food again.

A few days ago, the head of the research laboratory came to him and asked to improve the food in the cafeteria, saying that the comrades were doing mental work and if the food was not nutritious, the project research would be delayed.

He could only say he tried his best.

Nowadays, the whole country is trying to save money and eat frugally. In comparison, although the food in their research institute is not that good, at least they don’t let everyone go hungry, right?
Some of the comrades who did not have enough to eat did so because they took some food home and did not finish the portion they were given in the cafeteria.

He is also helpless!

The leaders above said that we should do everything possible to ensure the food and nutrition of our scientific researchers. But he almost begged for help every day, contacting grain stores, slaughterhouses, etc., hoping to get more food.

Before Zhang Jianshe could speak, someone rushed over and said, "Director Huang, it's great to see you."

Director Huang looked helpless, as this guy was the one who came to see him two days ago.

He said that some colleagues in his research laboratory were starting to show signs of color blindness and asked the institute to provide them with more nutrition.

"Comrade Liu, the cafeteria will give everyone an extra egg today. For now, this is all we can do. Please hold on, hold on." Director Huang immediately shut the visitor's mouth with words.

An egg was added. Is that an explanation?
In the current environment, you can't ask for too much.

As expected, the visitor was a little disappointed but also slightly relieved when he heard it. Adding an egg is better than nothing. He didn't want to bother Director Huang, but the project they were researching was more important and required to be completed within this month.

Can’t delay!

"Thank you Director Huang for your consideration."

Director Huang waved his hands repeatedly: "I should thank you for your kindness. I know that you are dedicating your knowledge to the country, and what you are doing is also very important. My job is to provide you with logistical support. If you don't eat well, I have a responsibility."

He dared not complain about these researchers. Last time, he just complained and was scolded by his superiors. Director Huang also realized his wrong thinking and reflected deeply.

That's why he has been frantically trying to use his connections these days, hoping to get more food for everyone.

Hearing Director Huang say this, the visitor felt even more embarrassed to say anything.

Director Huang turned to look at Zhang Jianshe: "Comrade Zhang Jianshe, the cafeteria will add eggs for lunch."

Obviously, he also thought that Zhang Jianshe had the same purpose in looking for him.

Zhang Jianshe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Director Huang, one of my descendants killed two wild boars in his hometown. I want to ask you if our research institute wants them. If..."

Before he finished speaking, Director Huang was overjoyed: "Yes, yes! Comrade Zhang Jianshe, where is your junior? I'll find someone to pick him up right away."

Even Liu Zhiyong, who had not left yet, was delighted.

"Comrade! Are you serious? That's great."

Zhang Jianshe nodded: "Really? They're waiting at the door! Last night, wild boars came down the mountain from their village and destroyed their crops. They killed 11 of them. They knew I might want some, so they left two for me."

Director Huang pulled Zhang Jianshe towards the door and said, "Let's go and take a look."

He was so happy.

They like this kind of meat that is not in the plan the most. We have all the funds for scientific research, so we are not very poor, but now you can't buy materials just by having money!

Even if they are a research institute.

There are more than one research institute in the imperial capital. Some of them are much more important than theirs.

The only pity is that they only got 11 out of 2 wild boars, but it is better than nothing.

When they arrived at the door, they were surprised to see Zhou Yimin and others, especially the two dead wild boars on the ox cart.

Director Huang immediately took out cigarettes and handed them to Zhou Yimin and the two villagers from Zhoujiazhuang.

"Countryman, have a cigarette first. Our research institute wants your wild boar. Don't worry, you won't get a bad price." Director Huang wanted to build a good relationship. It would be even better if he could provide them with some game in the future.

Zhang Jianshe introduced: "Yimin, this is Director Huang from our research institute."

Zhou Yimin shook hands with him: "Hello, Director Huang!"

Soon, Director Huang also knew Zhou Yimin, who worked as a buyer at the steel plant.

They were tempted and wanted to recruit Zhou Yimin to work as a buyer for their research institute. If he was their buyer, they would have at least 11 wild boars, right?
Zhou Yimin declined.

"Comrade Yimin! Don't be so quick to refuse..." Director Huang told Zhou Yimin about the benefits of his research institute again, hoping to attract Zhou Yimin.

Zhang Jianshe said, "Director Huang, please don't make things difficult for him. He is a popular employee at the steel mill. If our research institute wants to recruit him, you may not be able to withstand the pressure from the steel mill."

He understood it to some extent.

If Zhou Yimin were poached, wouldn't the steel mill go crazy? It would be like stirring up a hornet's nest.

That was the capital's number one steel plant, a large factory with tens of thousands of employees. It was of a very high level and was directly under the Ministry of Industry.

"However, let me tell you this! Give him a purchasing agent position and let him take it back to the villagers. His village is raising a large number of chickens and growing vegetables," Zhang Jianshe revealed a little.

It is also helping Zhou Yimin. The more units he is bound to, the safer he will be in the future.

After hearing this, Director Huang's eyes lit up.
