Chapter 174: Chapter 167 Detour (Two Chapters Combined)

Fan Jianguo went back and pondered; he still needed to find the Director of the Freight Office.

Without the director’s approval, no one below would dare to assign him a freight wagon.

He bought two bottles of good wine and two packs of good cigarettes and went directly to the director’s house.

After all, his train was at midnight.

He knocked on the door of the Freight Office Director’s house.

"Who is it?"

"Sister-in-law, it’s Xiao Fan, here to see Director Yao."

The door opened, and the director’s wife stood at the doorway and glanced at Fan Jianguo, especially noting the items he was carrying. She wasn’t too pleased.

People come bringing gifts, and yet her husband told her to turn them away.

But she understood that if her husband said so, it meant this was a tough situation to handle.

As a good wife, she had to do it well nonetheless.

"Xiao Fan! Your Brother Yao, he’s not home; he’s on a business trip. You see, I’m busy alone at home and can’t entertain you. Maybe next time, you should come back in about a week, when Brother Yao is likely to return."

Just as Fan Jianguo was about to say something nice, she closed the door.

He withdrew his hand from the door, thinking that it seemed they were determined not to help, giving him no chance at all. Trying to smooth things over was useless.

What to do now? He couldn’t transport the 5000 jin of grain, and if this went on, how would he bring back the timber from the forest farm?

A week could delay many things.

Fan Jianguo scratched his head, feeling anxious.

If the grain couldn’t be transported, what would he do?

With no other option, Fan Jianguo had to go back and call his friends.

Since this route was blocked, he thought of finding another way.

The Supply and Marketing Director wouldn’t allocate a wagon to him, but would certainly provide one to others.

Was there only one freight company? Couldn’t he get a wagon allocation from other places?

So he would have to ask others to help, exchanging favors for favors.

Credit to Fan Jianguo for being quick-witted.

After a few calls, he immediately reached one of the directors at a foreign trade bureau.

Without a word, the director sent a deputy to get a pass, and they loaded the 5000 jin of grain onto the wagon.

Their cover was under the foreign trade bureau’s name, and the freight station compliantly finished the task.

Freight stations generally couldn’t afford to offend such foreign trade units, which wielded significant power and connections across the city.

A freight station wasn’t going to make things difficult for them.

After all, there was no reason to offend them.

Fan Jianguo smoothly received the freight receipt from the station.

When the goods arrived, he could directly use the receipt to claim them.

He thanked them profusely, knowing it was mutually beneficial—they wanted a lot of lumber from him.

It was only then that Fan Jianguo went home to pack his bags, preparing to visit his niece.

Of course, he couldn’t go empty-handed; he had significant tasks at hand beyond his purchase orders and prepared to pave the way for Jiang Xiaoxiao.

The child was young, and as her uncle, he had to be vigilant and attentive.

When Old Mrs. Fan and Mr. Fan heard that their son was going to visit Xiao Xiao,

they were both worried.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had been in the countryside for over six months, without any news except for two letters she wrote at the start to say she was safe.

After the heavy snow blocked the roads, they hadn’t heard a word and were really concerned for the child.

The main worry was that the child might not be able to endure the hardships of rural life, especially given how cold and harsh it was.

Upon hearing that their son’s destination was the farm where their granddaughter was, the elderly couple prepared a lot of items for Fan Jianguo to take, packing four bags full.

Fan Jianguo looked at the four bags with a bitter smile; he wouldn’t have mentioned it if he’d known. Seeing all these bags, he looked like he was going on a family visit.

Faced with the elderly couple’s earnest expressions, he couldn’t refuse and took the four bags with him onto the train.

Before leaving, he asked the couple to call Jiang Xiaoxiao’s production team.

He also told Jiang Xiaoxiao about the timing of the 5000 jin of grain’s arrival, suggesting they have the forest farm send transport to pick it up, as this wasn’t a minor quantity.

He managed to get the grain to the destination, but couldn’t take it further to the forest farm.

The rest was up to the leadership at the forest farm to handle.

When Jiang Xiaoxiao received the call, she was thrilled. She had been worrying about finding a good excuse, and didn’t expect her uncle to just deliver the grain directly.
