Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

Hearing this, Director Li felt very pleased and happily took out his account book:

"Here's the bill for this batch, take a look. To be honest, your drill bits are amazing! Now, not only in Xinjiang, but even neighboring Qinghai and Gansu are coming to pick them up, sending dozens at a time!"

He lowered his voice, a hint of regret in it, "The last batch sold out so quickly, it's completely gone. When will your friend's next batch arrive?"

These past few days, his doorstep has been practically worn down by people eagerly waiting to buy his goods, but he has no stock on hand!

Su Wanqing opened the account book and was secretly alarmed.

Worried about running out of stock, she secretly ordered another batch. Unexpectedly, it sold out almost entirely in just over half a month. She had over 400,000 yuan in cash on hand, and over 500 jin of gold! Wow, that's more than enough space for the next upgrade!

This is all her little money!

Su Wanqing closed the ledger and said calmly, "We can deliver another batch of goods tomorrow night. Right behind our group's mountain, the usual place. We can also settle the remaining payment from last time."

Director Li thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Alright, I was saying if you can wait, we can go to the warehouse now and take stock. It'll take an hour or two, and then I'll send a big truck to take you all back, money and all."

Su Wanqing waved her hand: "No need to trouble yourself, let's go together tomorrow." — Now that she's counted the money, how is she going to store the hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash and hundreds of kilograms of gold into her spatial storage along the way? It will be much easier tomorrow on the back mountain.

She paused, then added, "Oh, right, my friend also wants to produce a batch of melted gold. Except for the poor quality, it's all pure gold, and he wants to exchange it all for cash."

Director Li's lips twitched, and he thought to himself: Is there something wrong with Su Wanqing's friend? She was frantically buying gold a while ago, and now she wants to exchange it for cash? Isn't this just making things difficult for her? However, he dared not say it aloud, and only asked:

"So, should we also exchange the gold from the payment for that batch of goods we're taking tomorrow for cash?"

Su Wanqing shook her head: "That's not necessary."

Director Li: "?" So what's the point? Why all this fuss?

Oh well, he didn't lose anything anyway, it was just an extra step in the process.

Director Li had no idea that Su Wanqing's back-and-forth was all to try and get rid of the gold in the space that had lost its precious metal power. Unfortunately, the gold that had lost its precious metal power couldn't be multiplied tenfold, otherwise wouldn't she have been thrilled to multiply it tenfold again?

After finishing the important matters, Director Li changed the subject, his expression becoming serious:

"Xiao Su, after reading the letter you sent us before, Boss Jiang, under immense pressure, confronted the top leader head-on and directly set a hard target for the entire Ili Prefecture in terms of material reserves, and also mobilized the army to assist in the allocation."

He lowered his voice, "Give me a heads-up about this, is it reliable or not? If nothing comes of it in the end, Boss Jiang's position will be in jeopardy. There's still time to salvage the situation. If you think it's risky, I'll quickly give him a heads-up and tell him to keep things quiet."

Su Wanqing was startled.

She wrote that letter simply to give a heads-up, never expecting Jiang Zhiping to believe her so readily and make such a big fuss.

"Director Li, please tell me in detail, how did Leader Jiang...?"

Director Li sighed. He was also on Jiang Zhiping's side and naturally didn't want to see him capsize.

"Actually, this matter was forced upon us by the top leader. We read your letter. Boss Jiang's original intention was just to take it seriously and have the lower-level production and construction corps stockpile more supplies."

As a result, the top leader seized the opportunity to bring up the matter at the meeting, putting it under intense scrutiny, and it eventually became a crucial task requiring unified deployment across the entire prefecture and coordination from the military.

He rubbed his temples. "So now that you're back, I definitely need to get to the bottom of this. We weren't really sure what to do while you were gone."

Su Wanqing then realized that this matter couldn't be moved by just one letter from her. Jiang Zhiping had been put in this position by his opponents, and now the die was cast.

She said earnestly, "Director Li, don't worry, this winter will definitely come early, and there will be a major disaster. I have a reliable friend who used some... relatively advanced technical methods to predict it, so it can't be wrong."

If Su Wanqing hadn't sold him so many foreign drill bits, Li Aiguo would never have believed such nonsense—what kind of technology could predict the weather months in advance? Isn't that divine?

But now, even if Su Wanqing said her friend could reach for the stars, Li Aiguo would believe her!

His eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh: "Great! With you saying that, I'll go to Yili City right now and let Boss Jiang do his job with peace of mind! If this succeeds, the top position will probably be taken by someone else!"

Su Wanqing checked the time, then got up to say goodbye.

Director Li grabbed her and, without saying a word, shoved a large bundle into her hand:

"Take it, take it! These are all local specialties, new varieties cultivated by Director Wang and his team, and some receipts I've collected. Also, those customers from other provinces heard that you helped them find the drill bits, and they insisted that I thank you. These are all things they sent, and I can't explain it to you if you don't accept them!"

Su Wanqing smiled and took it. When she opened it, she found two Yunnan hams, a large bag of wild mushrooms and dried vegetables, dried beans and dried eggplants from Northeast China, two bottles of Moutai, a woolen scarf made in Shanghai, and several special supply tickets that were impossible to obtain on the market.

"Thank you, Director Li."

Director Li waved his hand and saw her out with a smile.

……

Su Wanqing came out carrying a large bundle, which Zhou Yanshen quickly took from her. He was surprised to find it heavy: "So much? It's all local specialties and ration coupons, and it wasn't just one person who sent it?"

He flipped through it and found food, useful items, and a few things that were clearly from other provinces.

Su Wanqing explained the reason with a smile.

Zhou Yanshen unconsciously straightened his back, a smile playing on his lips: "My wife is amazing, making so many people remember her well."

The two chatted and laughed as they walked toward the tractor parking spot.

……

Beside the tractor, Aunt Zhang, Li Laowu's wife, and Old Man Wu were stamping their feet and rubbing their hands, shivering from the cold.

"It's only October, why is it so cold?"

"Yeah, it was quite warm yesterday, but today it feels like we've fallen into an ice cellar."

"There's still a batch of alfalfa to harvest; we can't let it freeze..."

Aunt Zhang had no time to worry about the alfalfa; all she could think about was getting home: "Is everyone here yet? Let's hurry up and get going! Old Liu's family is so slow, and that Wang educated youth, it's just mailing something, why isn't he back yet?"
