All the members are good people, only the host is a pervert

In the Liao Province Army Guesthouse, Lin Ruan contentedly counted the "trophies" that had almost emptied his second brother Lin Lu's savings.

Her thoughts were already racing, heading towards the Beijing Department Store thousands of miles away.

Ji Hanchuan.

This name was like a tiny thorn. Although it was temporarily blurred by the sea breeze from Liaoning Province, it still stuck in her heart.

Although she is not in the capital, she cannot stop supplying the "gifts" she prepared for Ji Hanchuan.

She leaned lazily on the edge of the bed, her consciousness sinking into the system space.

"Seventeen," she ordered coldly, "Give Ji Hanchuan another severe cold charm and a persistent low-grade fever card, making him so sick that he can't get out of bed and has to go home to recuperate."

"Okay, Ruanruan, the points deduction was successful."

Lin Ruan raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction.

Very good. When she and her second brother finish enjoying this last visit with their family and return to the capital, Ji Hanchuan should be very ill, which will be enough for her to do a lot of things.

However, a bolder and more efficient idea instantly formed in her mind - why wait until she goes back?

Isn’t this a godsend opportunity?

Ji Hanchuan is about to fall ill, and there will be a power vacuum in the third purchasing team.

And she, who was far away in the army, happened to be able to make use of the resources here, act first and report later, and get a good contract!

Her gaze went out the window.

There is a large seafood canning factory near the military base, which specializes in producing various canned fish and shellfish to supply the troops and surrounding cities.

Canned food is a good thing these days. If we can sign a supply contract with this cannery in the name of the department store...

Just do it!

She borrowed the internal phone of the guesthouse and first called the office of Group 3. After learning that Ji Hanchuan had left the office and returned home, she dialed the special line of the office of the director of the purchasing department of the Beijing Department Store.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Zhao Heping's slightly tired voice came: "Hello, who is this?"

"Director Zhao, it's me, Lin Ruan." Lin Ruan's voice came through the phone line, clear and steady, with just the right amount of urgency.

"Xiao Lin?" Zhao Heping was clearly surprised. "Aren't you visiting relatives in Liao Province? Why are you calling? What happened?"

He subconsciously thought that Lin Ruan was in trouble over there.

"Director, I'm fine. My visit went smoothly. I'm calling because I have an urgent work situation to report to you." Lin Ruan spoke quickly, sounding competent and responsible. "I learned something here. There's a seafood canning factory in Liaoning Province that produces a variety of canned fish and shellfish of very high quality. They mainly supply the troops, and the hygiene and quality are absolutely guaranteed."

She paused, giving Zhao Heping some time to digest the information, then continued, "This is at least 15% to 20% cheaper than the same type of canned food we currently purchase from Shandong and Fujian! Furthermore, the supply is stable, and the transportation distance is much shorter."

"Since you've already done your research, just sign the contract and get more orders for our building."

Lin Ruan was waiting for him to say this! She immediately took over, her tone becoming a little worried: "Director, I was just about to tell you this. This order was brokered by the military, otherwise they wouldn't have given us such a big discount. But because of the military's help, my level as an ordinary buyer is not enough. I wanted to contact Team Leader Ji to report this, but I heard that he seems to have a bad cold and a high fever. Has he asked for leave to go home and rest?"

Hearing Zhao Heping's slightly dissatisfied question, "Is he sick again?", Lin Ruan sneered inwardly, but her tone became more sincere and a little helpless on the surface: "Yes, Director, I just found out about it after contacting the team. They said that the illness was quite sudden and quite serious. I guess he needs to rest for several days."

She paused at the right moment, leaving something unsaid, allowing Zhao Heping to experience for himself the meaning of "failing at the critical moment."

Sure enough, Zhao Heping was silent for a few seconds on the other end of the phone. When he spoke again, the concern for Ji Hanchuan in his tone had turned into worry about the work progress and a subtle impatience. "Okay, I get it. Since you've already done the research, the opportunity is indeed rare, and you have the military connections, then this matter will be your full responsibility. Make sure to get the contract and get more discounts and orders for our building!"

"Don't worry, Director! I'll do my best!" Lin Ruan immediately assured him, then changed the subject and raised the key question, "But Director, precisely because of our military connections, the factory attaches great importance to the level of the contact person. If I, an ordinary buyer, go to sign the formal contract, I'm afraid the other party will think we're not serious enough, which may affect the negotiation results... You see..."

She deliberately appeared embarrassed and cleverly kicked the ball back to Zhao Heping.

Zhao Heping wanted nothing more than to seize this high-quality source of goods quickly, avoiding unnecessary complications. He made a decision immediately: "Xiao Lin, you're in the field right now. Can you use a fax machine? Give me the number. I'll issue you a letter of authorization immediately, authorizing you to represent the purchasing department of the Jingshi Department Store and negotiate and sign a supply agreement with the Liao Province XX Seafood Cannery! I'll stamp the letter and fax it to you! With this, you'll have the confidence!"

This was exactly what Lin Ruan wanted! She suppressed her inner ecstasy and said calmly, "Director, I'm at the military guesthouse. There's a fax machine here. The number is... Great! With your authorization, I'll definitely be able to negotiate the most favorable terms!"

"Okay! Just wait! I'll do it right away! Keep the line open!" Zhao Heping hung up the phone decisively.

Lin Ruan put down the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief, a triumphant smile finally showing on his face. Remote control, the Imperial Sword in hand, the plan worked!

She didn't have to wait long. Less than half an hour later, the old-fashioned fax machine in the guesthouse began to buzz as it received a signal, and then a piece of paper with the scent of ink slowly spitted out.

Lin Ruan picked up the fax paper. On it was clearly printed the contents of the authorization letter: "Comrade Lin Ruan, Secretary of the Purchasing Department of our company, is authorized to represent the Jingshi Department Store in negotiating and signing relevant agreements with the Liao Province Huaxing Haihuo Canning Factory regarding the supply of various canned products..."

At the end of the signature is the red official seal of the Purchasing Department of Beijing Department Store and Zhao Heping's personal signature.

But in fact, it doesn’t matter whether there is this thing or not——

The cannery order was proposed by Lin Ruan when she was commended and the military leader asked her if she needed any help.

Because the military was in the lead and the Jingshi Department Store represented by Linruan was not a private transaction, the order was negotiated smoothly.

The contract will even be officially signed tomorrow morning.

Of course, she didn't call Zhao Heping to ask for such a thin authorization letter.

Lin Ruan returned from Liaoning Province with a full load.

In her luggage were not only a staggering number of new clothes and shoes, and various Liaoning Province specialties, but also a heavy, generous supply contract signed with the Huaxing Haihuo Cannery, as well as certificates of commendation from the army and the local government and a considerable bonus.

Returning to the purchasing department of Beijing Department Store, she clearly felt the difference in the atmosphere.

Her colleagues looked at her with a touch of admiration and inquiry, even a hint of cautious flattery. Director Zhao Heping even personally called her into his office and enthusiastically poured her a cup of tea.

"Xiao Lin! You've made a great contribution on this trip to Liao Province!" Zhao Heping's face was beaming, clearly extremely satisfied with the canned goods contract. "I've seen samples of Huaxing canned goods, and they're truly excellent! And the price is incredible! Your negotiation skills are truly remarkable!"

He gave a thumbs up.

"Director, you are too kind. It is because of the leadership's trust that I have been given opportunities and support." Lin Ruan smiled modestly and skillfully distributed the credit to the leadership.

"Well, it's your credit!" Zhao Heping waved his hand, his tone becoming more formal. "I've discussed your performance this time with the higher-ups. As for Team Leader Ji... he's been in poor health, and now he's fallen ill again. We can't always have no one leading the work of Group Three. After careful consideration, we've officially appointed you as Deputy Team Leader of Procurement Group Three! You'll assist Team Leader Ji in managing group affairs. Of course, you'll primarily be responsible for more."

Although he had expected it, Lin Ruan still felt happy when he heard the appointment in person.

Deputy team leader! This meant that she was no longer an ordinary clerk, but had a real position and power. Although Ji Hanchuan was still above her, everyone knew that a sickly team leader could not compete with the deputy team leader who was in the limelight and had outstanding achievements.

She finally managed to make a comeback.

"Thank you for your trust and cultivation, Director! I will work hard and will never let you down!" Lin Ruan stood up and expressed his position solemnly.

"Okay! Do a good job!" Zhao Heping encouraged.

The news of his promotion to deputy team leader spread quickly, and Lin Ruan's status in the purchasing department rose rapidly.

She enjoyed the feeling of being in control and handled her work more easily. She was too lazy to even put in any extra effort for Ji Hanchuan who was still on sick leave.

Just when her career was getting off to a good start, good news came from home - her elder brother Lin Shen was engaged!

The target is Su Wanqing, the daughter of the cousin of a deputy director of the Agricultural Bureau where Lin Shen works.

The deputy director admired Lin Shen's ability and composure and wanted to bring them together. The parents of both sides were very satisfied after meeting each other.

Su Wanqing also works in a cultural unit. She has a good appearance, a gentle personality, and a clean family background. She is a good match for the Lin family.

The Lin family was filled with joy.

Wang Juan was overjoyed. Her eldest son had a stable career and now had secured such a good marriage. Lin Jianguo was also beaming with joy.

Even my bedridden grandfather Wang Aidang and grandmother Miao Qing looked much more energetic.

With this double celebration coming their way, the Lin family decided to celebrate. Wang Juan prepared a sumptuous family dinner and invited close relatives and the deputy director's family.

Lin Ruan looked at the lively scene at home, and her heart began to get excited. Celebrating naturally required some "big noise".

She thought of the most fashionable "big item" that best reflects a family's strength and status - the TV.

Nowadays, if a family has a TV, they will be the envy of the whole street.

There were televisions, two of them, placed on the top floor of the department store. But money could be saved up, but television tickets were hard to come by.

Lin Ruan just happened to have five TV tickets.

She immediately called the system in her mind: "Seventeen, redeem a Holy Mother buff card."

"Okay soft."

The next day, Lin Ruan went to the electronics counter in the department store. There was only one type of TV here—

A Beijing brand 14-inch black-and-white tube TV. Price: 450 yuan, and requires a special TV ticket.

She paid the money and the ticket without blinking, and under the envious and surprised gazes of the salesperson and other customers, she completed the formalities and agreed on a time for home delivery.

On the day of the weekend family dinner, when the delivery worker carried the huge cardboard box containing the TV into the living room of the small white building, the entire Lin family was in an uproar!

"This...is this a TV?" Wang Juan walked around the box several times, unable to believe it.

Lin Jianguo pushed up his glasses and looked carefully at the words on the box: "Beijing brand...it's really a TV!"

"Xiaobao! How much...how much will this cost?" Wang Juan was surprised and felt sorry for the money.

Lin Ruan enjoyed the shocked and delighted looks of his family, a sweet and sensible smile on his face. "Big brother got engaged, and I got a promotion, so it's a double blessing! Someone just happened to exchange some TV tickets for other tickets, and I have enough bonus money, so I bought them right away."

Suddenly, the gratitude of the family came like a tide.

Wang Juan was so moved that her eyes turned red. She held her daughter's hand and said, "Oh, my little treasure! How can you be so sensible and willing to give up so much!"

Lin Jianguo nodded vigorously.

Just as this joyful and grateful atmosphere reached its climax, system prompts sounded in Lin Ruan's mind:

"Ding! Detecting a high level of collective family gratitude! The Virgin Mary buff card triggers a critical hit!"

"Critical hit calculated... Based on the item value (high) and family member satisfaction (very high), super critical hit triggered!"

"Reward: Receive a set of top-tier household appliances of the era (including: a 14-inch Panda TV, a single-door Snowflake refrigerator, two Watson desktop fans, a Red Lantern tube radio, and a Baiju double-tub washing machine)."

"Reward: 4,800 RMB."

"Reward: Receive a set of foreign exchange certificates worth 4,800 yuan."

Lin Ruan was so happy.

If nothing else, the foreign exchange coupons alone were worth a fortune, not to mention the whole set of electrical appliances.

She suppressed her excitement and maintained a decent smile on her face as she directed the workers to install the TV and antenna.

When the TV was connected to the power supply and clear images and sounds appeared on the screen, the atmosphere in the Lin family's living room reached a climax, and the neighbors were attracted to watch and admire.

That night, the Lin family's small white building was filled with laughter and joy.

Lin Ruan had already returned to his own courtyard. Televisions of that era were too small and black and white, so Lin Ruan had not considered installing it at home.

But she had already installed the washing machine in the bathroom.

The bathroom is next to the kitchen. When the robot was used to decorate it, sockets and drains were reserved. Now that they are installed, it seems abrupt. Everything is just right.
