Chapter 276: This Guy Has Potential
The County Government was highly efficient in its actions. Once the meeting had concluded, orders were issued, and all the factories and communes promptly responded. When it came to flood relief, everyone was united, recognizing that time equaled life—delivering supplies one day sooner could save another person.
Shen Meng wasn’t idle either. After returning home in the evening, she took stock of her resources in the space. Except for some purchased items that she couldn’t touch, the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, sheep, as well as fruits and grains, could all be used for disaster relief—after all, her space was almost overflowing.
It was easy to take things out, but explaining them was difficult. She hesitated in her space for a long while, unable to come up with an excuse. After washing up in the space, she turned her head upon emerging and saw a headband hanging on the wall. Her eyes lit up with an idea.
She went straight to the County Government first thing the next morning.
When she arrived, Li Chuan was in a meeting. Secretary Guan saw her and brought over a cup of hot water.
"Why are you here so early? The Secretary is in a meeting, the conference room is full of people, and it probably won’t be over for a while. You’ll have to wait!"
"I’m here about something important, something very critical. Remember Jesse, Old John’s daughter? Her companion, a foreign man named Mark who is her fiancé, is a farm owner—by our standards, a landlord. He once mentioned to me the possibility of exporting grain to our side. At the time, I didn’t grasp his meaning and didn’t respond. After returning to the bus company yesterday, I called the number Jesse gave me. It turns out Mark’s men had smuggled grain over here, afraid to get caught. Now, the grain is piled up near the Provincial City. Mark’s men have already fled, and he has decided to abandon the grain since no one knows about it anyway, leaving it there. He boarded the plane with Jesse this morning, and I thought, since the grain is already there, why waste it when no one else would notice?"
"Grain? Actual grain? Are you serious?"
