398 Forgery
The two of them exchanged a few more pleasantries. Seeing that Yu Bing really didn’t blame him, Mr. Wang pushed his mat and left.
He wanted to go to the supply company to sell the mat. Thinking about how the money in his pocket was enough to treat his grandson, Mr. Wang felt invigorated.
At this moment, Zhang Chao was driving a light truck to the Yangqiao Commune. Because it was empty and there was no need to pick people passengers like a bus, the truck drove very quickly and arrived in two hours.
When Xiao Sheng saw the car stop, he walked to the front passenger seat and sat in the driver’s seat.
Zhang Chao asked impatiently as he drove, “How many pounds did you receive for you to mock me?!”
When Xiao Sheng heard this, he turned around and raised his eyebrows at Zhang Chao as he reported the number with a smile.
“Oh my god!” Zhang Chao didn’t expect Xiao Sheng to receive so much in quantity even when he went to an unfamiliar place, so he was shocked.
When Xiao Sheng saw Zhang Chao’s dispirited appearance, he was a little worried. Yu Bing was going to sit inside later, so he said in disdain, “Drive carefully.”
Zhang Chao came back to his senses and focused on driving. He failed to beat him in terms of purchasing quantity, but he couldn’t be criticized for his driving skills as well.
When the car entered the village, many children ran with the car. When Xiao Sheng and Zhang Chao were moving the goods, they even enthusiastically helped carry some light flour bags. After that, Yu Bing took out the candies she had brought and distributed them to the children present.
Then, the car left under everyone’s gaze.
Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng originally thought that the return trip would be smooth-sailing since the flour collection wasn’t smooth-sailing. Unexpectedly, when they left the city, they encountered the police checking cars at random times. Zhang Chao took out the transportation document he had prepared and handed it over.
The person who checked Zhang Chao’s car was a young police officer in his twenties or thirties. After looking at the documents and knowing that it was a compliant transport car, he still didn’t let it pass immediately. Instead, he looked at the back of the car and asked, “What goods are in the car?”
The police officer would know once he checked it later, so Zhang Chao definitely couldn’t lie. “It’s just some flour for the food factory.”
The police officer frowned when he heard this. “Are there employees from the food factory in the car?”
After Xiao Sheng and Yu Bing exchanged looks, they got out of the car together.
Yu Bing walked forward and greeted loudly, “Hello, I’m the director of the food factory, Yu Bing.”
The police officer looked at Yu Bing suspiciously. “Are you the factory director?”
Yu Bing nodded and said fearlessly, “I’m the factory director. Don’t underestimate me just because I’m young. I’m responding to the country’s call to build a new countryside! Women are just as capable as men, so why can’t I be the factory director?”
Yu Bing said this to give the other party the impression that she wasn’t to be trifled with.
As expected, the police officer didn’t say anything else when he heard this. Instead, he changed the topic. “Where did you get the flour? Nowadays, the country is rationing flour, so where do you buy your flour?”
Yu Bing’s mind raced as she thought of an excuse.
At this moment, Xiao Sheng interrupted, “This is specially approved flour.”
Zhang Chao hurriedly handed the special approval slip he had just obtained before setting off to the police. The police officer looked at them suspiciously and took the special approval slip. After confirming that there was indeed no problem, he handed it back and waved his hand to let them pass.
After the few of them returned to the car, Yu Bing sighed in relief and relaxed a little.
After the car drove past the toll station, Yu Bing finally picked up the special approval slip. As she flipped through it carefully, she said in admiration, “Zhang Chao is not bad. This forgery technique is quite realistic!”
As Yu Bing spoke, she raised her thumb.
Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment. He knew that Yu Bing was bold, but he didn’t expect her to even think of forging a military approval slip!
Xiao Sheng said helplessly, “Forgery? To think that you could even think of it. Do you think everyone is as bold as you?”
“The day before yesterday, after we discussed collecting flour, I entered the city to get a car. I happened to hear from my subordinates that the inspection of cars had become stricter than before, so I specifically asked Zeng Li to get this approval slip. I didn’t expect it to really come in handy.”
At that time, Yu Bing was also anxious that she didn’t think of the connection between flour rationing and car inspections.
