Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 982 He Doesn't Distinguish

They were all in plastic baskets, and the crabs were tied up and stacked inside. They were soaking in the metal trough on the truck, and they looked alive, still spitting out saliva.

Director Liu seemed a little embarrassed as he only then remembered to introduce them to everyone. He said to Xiao Wei and Chen Hui, "General Manager Zhang and General Manager Chen, this is Lao Wu, who is in charge of logistics and procurement in the supply and marketing department. Lao Wu, these are my two bosses, this is General Manager Zhang, and this is General Manager Chen."

Old Wu paused for a moment, then reached out to shake hands with Xiao Wei and Chen Hui, probably not expecting them to be so young.

Director Liu said, "General Manager Zhang, if you could get Director Hu and the others to poach Lao Wu, I would be much more relaxed. I'm far inferior to Lao Wu in terms of purchasing daily necessities; he's practically my mentor. This year, I almost forgot about things like scallions and cabbages, and it was Lao Wu who reminded me."

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Welcome! If Brother Wu agrees, I'll call Director Hu tomorrow. He should be able to give me face."

After unloading, the driver closed the truck door and came over to Old Wu, saying, "Director Wu, it's all done."

Old Wu said goodbye to Xiao Wei and Chen Hui: "Okay, I've completed my mission. Goodbye then. Goodbye."

Xiao Wei said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Wu."

Old Wu waved his hand and got into the car: "No, no. I'm leaving." The van turned around and drove away.

Director Liu said, "President Zhang, I'm serious. Old Wu is a reliable person. He's been in the procurement of daily necessities for over ten years and has connections all over the country. If possible, bringing him over would definitely be the right thing to do."

Xiao Wei said, "Sure, he can come anytime he wants. I'll just let Lao Hu know; it won't affect anything else."

Chen Hui squatted down to look at the crabs, then turned to Xiao Wei and asked, "What do we do with these? Where do we put them? Will they die tomorrow?"

Xiao Wei asked Director Liu, "Sister Liu, how did you arrange this?"

Director Liu counted them and said, "Eighteen hundred. Let's divide them up. I just asked Lao Wu to get some for us, but I didn't expect him to get so many."

Xiao Wei said, "You calculate how many people are over there in the mall. We don't need to divide it up here. Ten for the manager, five for each employee. Is that enough?"

Chen Xiao and Li Na ran over screaming, "Big crab! Where did it come from?" Geng Hui followed behind with a Zen-like smile.

Sister Jin was squatting next to Chen Hui, poking at the bubbles one by one with her fingers. She turned her head and said, "Come on, come on, it's so much fun, they're blowing bubbles."

Director Liu said, "Over there, there are eight people above the department manager, that's eighty; there are 130 employees, that's 650. That's 685, so we have 1115 left. Is that enough here?"

Xiao Wei said, "Local employees can each take five and leave, and the rest can be taken to the cafeteria. We can all eat there tomorrow at noon, so there's no need to divide them up."

The employees who had been watching exclaimed "Oh!" and the local employees excitedly lined up to get their hands on the crabs. There were a few local employees in the office, only about thirty, and they took away less than two hundred.

Chen Hui said, "What about Shan Hongmei's family, Mi Liya's family, Dawei, Dawei's family, your family, Lao Xia's family, Xiao Fu's family, Wang Ge's family, and Li Wen's family? Aren't you going to give them a few?"

Hao Juan was standing nearby; she and Hao Dawei lived here and only went home occasionally. She said, "We won't take any; we'll just try some in the cafeteria tomorrow."

Xiao Wei said, "And Huang Suona. Hongmei, come here."

Shan Hongmei said, "Forget it, I won't take any. I'll have to cook it anyway, and it smells fishy. I'll just take a few home when the cafeteria makes them tomorrow."

Xiao Wei said, "Nonsense. Take five back and send five to Huang's family; this is a bit too few."

Chen Hui said, "Come here, Xiao Fu, come here."

Zhang Fu ran over with a grin, and Chen Hui said, "You run errands, find a few bags, ten for Huang Su's family, ten for Lao Xia's, five for Hongmei's family. Hongmei, you can't eat them, you'll be in big trouble if you do. Xiao Fu, take ten back yourself. And deliver five to Milia's family."

Zhang Fu ran to the store, grabbed a bag, divided it into several portions, packed them up, and ran upstairs.

They called for bread from the food factory, loaded 685 loaves onto the truck, and sent them to Zhongjie. They gave ten loaves to Director Liu. Chen Hui thought for a moment and asked Xiao Wei, "Did you forget anyone?"

Xiao Wei said, "I can't think of anything right now. Let's carry it to the cafeteria. Don't untie the rope, or they'll run away. Find some basins to soak it, and we'll make it for everyone tomorrow at noon."

Chen Hui said, "What if we can't divide it all up? What will we do with the leftovers?"

Xiao Wei said, "The restaurant doesn't care where we are. We'll calculate how many people there are and send them over first thing tomorrow morning, one for each person."

Chen Hui did the math: "We still can't distribute them all; the restaurant only has about two hundred people."

Xiao Wei asked, "How much more?"

Chen Hui said, "There are dozens, maybe forty or fifty."

Xiao Wei said, "Huang Laowu and Hao Xiaodong are coming tomorrow, that's fifteen, and Brother Long's family will take five more."

Li Na said, "If Jin Jie and I take ten, one won't be enough for me."

Chen Hui said, "Ten of you two? Aren't you afraid you'll overwhelm yourself?"

Sister Jin laughed and said, "Just take five. They're so big, they'll go bad if we don't finish them in one meal."

Li Na said, "Ten of them, and there's also Xiao Liwen."

Chen Hui ran to the old man's convenience store, grabbed a few bags, handed them to Li Na, packed fifteen for himself, and said, "That's about enough, that'll do."

Li Na laughed and said, "Hong Liang, you forgot about him."

Chen Hui said, "I haven't forgotten, he doesn't distinguish. Li Bing can't eat it." The group laughed. Li Bing was usually a very gentle person, but this pregnancy made her seem like a completely different person, with an incredibly bad temper.

After the noisy distribution of the crabs, a fishy smell still lingered in the air. The crowd dispersed, chanting that they would eat crabs again tomorrow. The onlookers began to discuss how good the company's benefits were, saying that even the employees got a share of big crabs.

In Liaodong, people eat sea crabs and hairy crabs, so it's quite rare to see a lake crab this big.

Chen Hui nodded and said, "It turns out they're quite free in this regard. They can make something for everyone whenever they feel like it, but it's all the leaders who get some; ordinary employees don't. I'll talk to Sister Liu about this tomorrow. It's not necessarily wrong."

Xiao Wei said, "It seems these veteran supply and marketing personnel still need time to work on their mindset. Let's hold a meeting with all the middle and senior managers when we get back and talk about it."

Geng Hui said, "Let's wait a little longer. Let's hold the event all at once after all the rules and procedures are finalized. We should also publish the authority and responsibilities of each position so that everyone will have a clear understanding."

Chen Hui nodded: "That works too."
