Chapter 138 Complaint
Hua Honeysuckle smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed. "Don't worry, everyone. I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll call my friend and ask her later. My friend is a very honest person. The price we agreed on before will definitely not change. No matter how much you want, it will still be the same price. But I heard her say a few days ago that a batch of wild tea trees were found on the mountain this year, and the tea leaves they roasted are better than the last batch. We sent some to the agricultural supply cooperative before, and the cooperative gave us 100 yuan per pound. My friend said that there wasn't much anyway, so it's better to drink it yourself or give it to others at this price. If you want it, I can ask her."
"Yes, I'll take as many as I can get. As long as the product is good, the price is not a problem."
As soon as Hua Rendong finished speaking, those people shouted for it without even hesitating. Hua Rendong raised the corner of her mouth and said, "That's why we in the Women's Federation are good at judging goods. We are better than those agricultural supply cooperatives that only know how to bargain for prices."
Hua Honeysuckle took out a small box of tea leaves from his pocket and said, "Let's taste it first."
Fan Xiuxiu ran to get the thermos, and everyone took the tea boxes and poured a little into their own teacup.
After Fan Xiuxiu brought in two thermoses and filled everyone's teacups with water, the whole conference room was filled with the rich and pleasant aroma of tea, which made people feel relaxed and happy just by smelling it.
Hao Min's eyes lit up even more. She had packed the tea that Hua Rendong had sent her last time and most of it had been sent to Beijing. Even her father-in-law, who was used to drinking good tea, said it was good. She had used the tea to get through several connections, and it was indeed as the man had said. After drinking the tea, their health improved, especially several old leaders who were strictly required by doctors to control their diet. After drinking the tea, they not only no longer had to avoid certain foods, but even the amount of medicine they took was slowly reduced.
Because of that batch of tea, her husband Ma's transfer order is almost certain. If they can send tea of the same quality as today, they and their wife will definitely become popular in the eyes of Beijing's leaders.
Because Hua Jindong said that the quantity of this tea is small, it is impossible for everyone to buy it by several kilograms. At most each person can get half a kilogram.
So after drinking the tea, everyone gave a new price: thirty yuan per two taels of tea, and each person wanted half a pound.
Hao Min was not in a hurry to go forward. She knew that no matter how much others wanted, Hua Honeysuckle would leave some for her alone.
Sure enough, after Hua Rendong wrote down the quantities needed by everyone, she followed Hao Min to her office. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "Sister Hao, my friend heard me talk about how Sister Hao took care of me, so he mailed the tea to Sister Hao this time. I will go home to pick it up later and deliver it to Sister Hao's home at noon."
The smile on Hao Min's face was so sincere, "Then I won't be polite with you. I will give you the money you deserve."
Hua Rendong said angrily, "Sister, aren't you being unfaithful to me? How can I accept your money? If you ask me for money, it means you don't treat me as your own sister."
Hao Min pointed at Hua Rendong and said with a smile, "You, why are you so honest? What can I say about you? This is just to me. Don't be sincere to everyone in the future."
Hua Rendong nodded repeatedly, "I'm very smart outside. I know that I'm good to you, so I'm like this in front of you."
Hao Min took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Hua Rendong, "Take a look at this."
Hua Rendong took it and looked at it. It turned out to be a letter of recommendation, recommending Hua Rendong to take over the position of director of the Women's Federation. The signature below was Hao Min.
Hua Rendong looked at Hao Min in surprise. She was really just here to take up a position, so why did they recommend her to be the director of the Women's Federation? At her age, would the people in the Women's Federation obey her?
Even if the people in the Women's Federation obey her, if she really becomes the director of the Women's Federation, won't she be trapped in the Women's Federation in the future? How can she complete the department's tasks then?
Hua Rendong hurriedly pushed the letter back and refused, "Sister, I'm just here to take up a position, this is really not okay."
Hao Min thought Hua Rendong was just being polite and pushed the letter back, "Everyone is familiar with me. If I say you can do it, then you can do it!"
Hua Rendong pushed the letter back again and let out a little hint, "Sister, I'm just holding a position in the Women's Federation. Actually, I have my own unit."
Hao Min was stunned. This was something she had not considered carefully. She had previously thought that Hua Rendong was too lazy to go to work and was looking for a sinecure. Later, when she saw that she was doing a good job in the countryside, she did not expect that she had other purposes for taking up the post in the Women's Federation.
Having spent so many years in Beijing, Hao Min guessed that Hua Rendong might be from some confidentiality department, so she gave up the idea of recommending her. However, she thought more highly of Hua Rendong in her heart, as she never knew when she would need her help.
After saying this, Hua Rendong went straight to the topic of today's visit, "Sister, does your brother-in-law have a driver named Du?"
Hao Min thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this. The driver who drove him before retired. I heard that he was replaced by a new one. I didn't ask for his last name. What? Do you know him?"
Hua Rendong said, "This is what happened. Yesterday my mother brought a man to go on a blind date with me. He said he was the driver for a top leader in the city named Ma. I thought, could this guy named Ma be my brother-in-law? But my neighbor said that he had seen a driver for a top leader, and he didn't look like the guy yesterday at all. So I thought of asking my sister about it. The main thing is that early this morning, my mother came over and said that the guy had chosen me, and asked me to go get the marriage certificate with him today. I thought, what if that guy is a liar, and I am still working in the Women's Federation. If I really get cheated, it will be our Women's Federation members who will be embarrassed if the news gets out."
Hao Min frowned. "Your brother-in-law is indeed a top official in the city, but from what you said, either your neighbor was wrong, or someone is trying to cheat you into marriage. Can you tell me what that person is like?"
Hua Rendong described Du Xu's appearance to Hao Min. "He said his name is Du Xu, he's tall, handsome, and generous. He invited me to a state-owned restaurant for dinner yesterday. I brought a neighbor with me, and he didn't say anything."
Hao Min shook her head. "No, although I haven't met him, I heard your brother-in-law mention that his new driver is not tall, not handsome, and has pockmarks on his face. Your brother-in-law didn't want him at first, but his parents used their connections, so your brother-in-law couldn't refuse. Thinking that he would be transferred back to Beijing soon, he let him stay. Don't worry, I'll call your brother-in-law and ask."
As he spoke, Hao Min picked up the phone on the table and dialed.
When the call was connected, Hao Min asked directly: "Lao Ma, who drove you to the provincial government for a meeting yesterday?"
Secretary Ma's voice came from the other end of the receiver, "That's the new Xiao Du, is there something wrong?"
"He was with you in the province yesterday? Didn't he go back to the city?"
Secretary Ma's voice on the other end of the phone turned serious. "Yes, we just returned to the city last night. You're asking these questions. Is there something wrong with that Xiao Du?"
Hao Min then told Secretary Ma what Hua Rendong had just said. Secretary Ma was silent for a moment and then said, "Don't alert the enemy yet. Let Comrade Xiaohua pretend to agree to get the marriage certificate with him, trick him out first, and then ask him thoroughly... Chengfeng and her colleague are next to me. She said she would go with Xiaohua. If that person is a liar, let Chengfeng arrest him. If it is Xiaodu's family who wants to cheat on marriage, I can't use such a morally corrupt person anymore."
