Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 58

Chapter 58: The Meaning of Coming Here

Song Chu didn’t beat around the bush.

“I’d like to ask for your help in introducing me to the logistics director of the clothing factory.”

“Introduce the logistics director? What do you want to do?” Guo Xia asked, puzzled.

Song Chu quickly explained the matter of exchanging oil for goods, including their cooperation with the four other factories.

Guo Xia was surprised. She had indeed heard that the textile and other factories had received a batch of oil in the past two days and had given out some items under the name of assistance. She hadn’t expected it to be the work of Song Chu and her village.

“You want to exchange oil for clothes with our factory?”

Song Chu nodded. “Yes, so I want to talk to the logistics director here.”

Guo Xia looked at her silly, sweet, and innocent younger sister beside her, feeling a bit speechless. She brought someone over without even saying hello first.

She thought for a moment and agreed, “Alright, you two wait in the office for a while. I’ll go ask first. If it’s possible, I’ll take you over.”

“Okay, thank you, Big Sister Xia.” Song Chu felt that the people of the Guo family were all quite nice. Even though they didn’t like her family, they would still help out for Song San Sao’s sake when needed.

Ten minutes later, Guo Xia returned.

“The logistics director happens to have time now. I’ll take you over.”

“Okay.”

When they went to the logistics department, because Guo Xia was a cadre of the labor union, the logistics director, Director Wu, was quite polite to Song Chu.

She used the same “workers and peasants are one family” approach as she did with the sugar factory, convincing Director Wu to agree to the oil-for-clothes agreement.

Director Wu had heard about the other factories exchanging oil. Coupled with Vice Director Guo’s face, he was happy to facilitate this matter.

After all, they had to be frugal with their monthly oil consumption. Now, with this exchange, everyone could get a share, and they wouldn’t have to be so tight anymore. The workers would also be very happy.

After the discussion, Director Wu personally saw them out of the office.

“Comrade Xiao Song, you can come directly to me if you need anything in the future, or you can call.” He gave Song Chu his phone number.

Song Chu smiled and took the paper with the number, putting it away. “Okay, goodbye, Director Wu.”

After leaving the building, Guo Xia’s gaze towards Song Chu changed.

She hadn’t expected Song Chu to be so composed and eloquent when facing Director Wu. Her words were smooth and persuasive, making people feel comfortable and inclined to agree to the exchange.

Honestly, even if it wasn’t her who brought Song Chu over today, this matter would have been settled regardless of who it was.

Downstairs, Song Chu asked Song San Sao, “Third Sister-in-law, I need to go to the machinery factory. Do you want to stay a while longer, or do you want to come with me?”

“You go ahead. I’ll sit with my sister for a bit before leaving,” Song San Sao said with a warm smile. “Remember to come over for dinner next time you’re in town.”

“Okay,” Song Chu nodded, then turned to Guo Xia, “Big Sister Xia, thank you so much for today.”

Guo Xia noticed that her younger sister’s once-annoying little sister-in-law had changed a lot. She was more polite now, and at least she didn’t find her annoying anymore.

She smiled and said, “What are you talking about? We’re family. Come over and play whenever you’re in town.”

“Alright, then I’ll be going now.” Song Chu said goodbye to the two and left.

After she was far away, Guo Xia pulled her sister into the office. “Your little sister-in-law has improved a lot.”

“Of course, she was just young and immature before.”

Guo Chun proudly leaned in and asked with a smile, “Third Older Sister, isn’t my little sister-in-law very competent?”

When she saw her little sister-in-law and Director Wu going back and forth in their conversation, she felt that her little sister-in-law was really impressive. If it were her, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it.

◈◈◈

But she was also very proud that her little sister-in-law was so capable. As expected of her man’s younger sister, just like her man, smart and capable.

Guo Xia smiled and tapped her head. “I see you’re very protective of her now.”

Before, whenever this little sister-in-law was mentioned, her younger sister’s expression was usually very complicated. Now, her actions were close, and her words were protective. This change was so fast that she was stunned.

Guo Chun smiled and said, “She’s my little sister-in-law. Who else would I protect if not her?”

“Besides, she’s also my lifesaver.”

Guo Xia was puzzled. “Lifesaver?”

Guo Chun then recounted what had happened on the road earlier. Guo Xia was shocked to hear it.

“Then it’s really thanks to her. You’re really lucky.” Guo Xia patted her younger sister, and after confirming she was okay, she finally felt relieved.

This girl was really carefree. If it were her, she would probably still be in shock today and wouldn’t have had the mind to bring someone here.

“I heard before that your little sister-in-law was the Village Bully. I thought it was just a joke. Now it seems it might be true. She’s actually so good at fighting,” she exclaimed again.

Guo Chun nodded vigorously. “That’s right. You didn’t see it. She kicked that strong and burly thug flying into the wall with one kick. My little sister-in-law is not your average kind of impressive.”

“I’m your older sister, and I haven’t seen you defend me like this,” Guo Xia said with a smile, noticing a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Guo Chun held her sister’s arm and said, “Who says I don’t defend you? I always think of you first when I have good things.”

“Chu Chu gave me three pheasants and a few bags of sugar today. I’ll bring you half a pheasant and a bag of sugar after work.”

Guo Xia chuckled. “Your little sister-in-law has been very generous lately.”

Before, it would have been good enough if she didn’t come to take meat coupons. In just the past half month, she had sent meat twice. It was really rare.

“She was just young before. Now she’s grown up and sensible. My little sister-in-law is very good,” Guo Chun immediately defended.

Guo Xia laughed, “Alright, alright, whatever you say. I see she’s so polite and knows how to behave now. You should interact with her more in the future.”

It wasn’t about the meat. She heard that Song Chu was very favored at home. Getting along well with her little sister-in-law meant getting along well with her husband’s family.

Besides, judging from Song Chu’s performance today, as long as she didn’t revert to her old ways, it was hard to say how successful she would be in the future, but she probably wouldn’t be too bad off.

The two sisters chatted for a while, and then Guo Chun went back to work.

When Song Chu arrived at the machinery factory, Gu Yue was still giving technical guidance. She wandered around nearby.

She noticed that the steel and materials used in the machinery factory were a bit low-end. She wondered if she should find an opportunity to organize the relevant materials she had collected in the library and then find a way to improve the materials.

If they could produce them, they could definitely surpass other countries. They wouldn’t have to be controlled by foreign countries in many technologies and could instead make them come begging for technical cooperation.

Looking at the workers working hard in the factory, Song Chu felt that although this era was backward and had undergone some changes, the people were also very simple and hardworking, able to unite for the construction of the motherland.

She suddenly felt a surge of motivation to change the future.

She possessed so much advanced knowledge that it would be a pity to let it go to waste. It would be better to boldly find opportunities to gradually introduce it and change the technological productivity. The scientific researchers who were struggling on the front lines would also be able to take fewer detours.

With stronger technology, the country could also become stronger. Making our country’s technology lead the world is the right way. She suddenly felt that perhaps this was the meaning of her coming here.

I’m sorry, it’s still very noisy at home. I brought my laptop out, but the coffee shop near my neighborhood was closed, so I came to the mall. That’s why I was delayed~~ Today’s update is complete. Thank you for the tips and votes~~·
