Reborn in 1977, I will no longer be my brother's blood bag.

Lin Xiuhe arrived in the county early the next morning.

The person who came to pick her up was Deputy Director Jiang from the factory.

As soon as they met, he delivered some bad news.

"Mr. Lin, that order from yesterday has been moved up again."

"Not ten days?"

"Still ten days."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang tied her bag to the back of the bicycle, but his expression didn't soften.

"The problem is that there's one part that we can only make for three days at most."

Lin Xiuhe asked:

"Is everything else complete?"

"together."

"Where are the workers?"

"That's enough."

"Is this all that's missing?"

"That's all that's missing."

As Deputy Factory Director Jiang recounted this, he himself felt indignant.

"The order has been received, the materials have been delivered, and the personnel are here."

"It just so happens that it gets stuck on this little thing."

Upon arriving at the factory, Lin Xiuhe first looked at the orders.

The first batch consisted of 120 items.

Pick up the goods in ten days.

She asked:

Who made this component before?

"The hardware factory next door."

"Can't it be done now?"

"They also have a lot of work to do."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang pulled out a chair and sat down.

"I spent half the day yesterday trying to negotiate, and the earliest it will be is seven days later."

"Are there any other factories that can do it?"

Deputy Factory Director Jiang opened his mouth.

"I used to contact them all the time."

Lin Xiuhe looked up.

"So you didn't ask about the other companies?"

Deputy Factory Director Jiang was a little embarrassed.

"I've always done it this way, it's just become second nature."

"Then ask now."

"Who else in the county can make these small items?"

"A farm implement factory should be able to."

"Call up."

The call was made quickly.

After hearing the quantity, the other party only asked one question:

"Who will come up with the prediction?"

Deputy Factory Director Jiang frowned.

"You guys didn't expect this?"

"It can be done, but we don't have any in the warehouse."

After hanging up the phone, Deputy Factory Director Jiang leaned back in his chair.

"That still won't work."

"What are they missing?"

Deputy Factory Director Jiang reported it.

Lin Xiuhe found the name familiar.

In another document the province gave her yesterday, it was mentioned that a small hardware factory in the east of the county had submitted a report about a batch of materials that were temporarily unusable.

She pushed the phone back to her.

"Ask at another one."

"Who?"

"County East Small Hardware Factory".

Deputy Factory Director Jiang didn't immediately grasp the idea.

"They do that too?"

"First, ask if they have any substance."

The second call was made.

The warehouse was checked.

Really.

And there are enough of them.

Deputy Factory Director Jiang immediately sat up straight.

"Could you spare some for us first?"

The person on the other end of the phone asked:

"When will you return it?"

Deputy Factory Director Jiang subconsciously looked at Lin Xiuhe.

Lin Xiuhe took out a blank sheet of paper and pushed it in front of him.

Write it clearly.

Deputy Factory Director Jiang immediately spoke up.

"Make it up before the end of the month."

"Write the quantity and date into the transfer order."

"If we can't make up the difference by then, we'll settle the payment at your purchase price."

The other party answered readily this time.

"We'll send someone to discuss this this afternoon."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Deputy Factory Director Jiang grabbed his coat and was about to leave.

"etc."

Lin Xiuhe called out to him.

"What's wrong?"

"We have the materials, but who will cook them?"

Deputy Factory Director Jiang slapped his forehead.

"Agricultural implement factory".

The third call was made.

Things went much more smoothly this time.

If the raw materials can be secured, the agricultural implement factory is also willing to take on the project.

The first batch will be given out in three days.

More to be added later.

Deputy Factory Director Jiang took out his pen and wrote it down sentence by sentence.

As he finished writing, he stared at the paper for a long time.

"I chased after the hardware factory for three days."

"You've been here for half a day and found the other two companies."

Lin Xiuhe smiled.

"You used to only focus on one company."

"If they can't spare the time, you can only wait."

"There's more than one factory in the county."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang looked down at the records in his hand and chuckled to himself.

"Too."

"Why didn't I think of anything else?"

"Once you get used to something, it's easy to stick to the same old methods."

Lin Xiuhe pushed the order towards him.

"Put things down on paper this afternoon."

"Write down the quantity and date clearly."

"Don't let everyone remember that things are different in a couple of days."

"That's for sure."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang took his coat and went out the door.

In the afternoon, people from the small hardware factory and the farm implement factory came.

The three factories sat down at the same table for the first time.

The small hardware factory first allocated a batch of materials.

The daily necessities factory will replenish the supplies by the end of the month.

The farm implement factory was responsible for processing the tools, and the first batch was delivered in three days.

After writing it clearly on several sheets of paper, one red stamp after another was applied.

With the last stamp completed, Deputy Factory Director Jiang placed the three forms side by side on the table.

"Now I can sleep tonight."

The people at the farm implement factory laughed at him.

"It's just a little bit of stuff, why are you so anxious?"

"Of course you're not in a hurry."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang pointed to the orders.

"One item will be missing in ten days, and they're looking for me."

The people at the table laughed.

When they first entered, they were calculating their own time, but now some people have already started discussing how to transport the first batch of materials this afternoon.

Deputy Factory Director Jiang picked up the three forms and looked at them again.

"If I needed something before, I would keep pressing the same company for help."

"After today's ordeal, I've realized that those with real talent may not have the time or resources, and those who are capable of doing something may not have the talent."

"By putting them together, things actually got done."

Lin Xiuhe closed the project book.

"Next time, ask two more places first."

"I've got it."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang smiled and carefully put the order away.

Just as he finished speaking, someone came in from outside the door.

He was holding a letter that had just been delivered.

"Director Jiang, he's from the county department store."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang disassembled it.

After watching it the first time, I watched it again from the beginning.

"Another order?"

The people from the farm implement factory asked first.

"It's an order."

Deputy Factory Director Jiang placed the letter on the table.

"But not this one."

Lin Xiuhe took it.

It is another very ordinary daily necessity.

The quantity is not large.

The delivery time is even shorter.

There's another sentence at the very bottom:

If our factory is unable to produce, we can assist in contacting other production units.

When Deputy Factory Director Jiang saw that line, he smiled first.

"Did they know we brought together three families today?"

The people from the farm implement factory reached out and took the order.

"We can do part of this."

People from the small hardware factory also gathered around.

"What kind of material should we use?"

After saying those two sentences, the group turned to Lin Xiuhe almost simultaneously.

Deputy Factory Director Jiang presented her with a new order.

"Forest worker."

"There haven't been any problems this time."

He pointed to the order.

"Take a look first."

Who should we ask to handle this order?
