Of course, there was no shortage of short-sighted families who, in their blind devotion to the factory, would eat less just to save food. They'd then take those savings to other work units and exchange them for grain tickets or other goods at exorbitant rates.
In any case, the amount of grain left in the warehouse was more than enough to convince everyone. No one would question the numbers.
"Yes, we'll transport this last batch of grain ourselves, bit by bit," Chu Shenyu said with a soft chuckle. "The research institute in our engineering department is quite large. It'll be easy to clear out an abandoned warehouse. That way, even if we're discovered, we'll have a plausible story."
Director Wang nodded repeatedly. The young men who had transported the largest batch of supplies had been borrowed from the military, an arrangement he'd made with the factory director. Every one of them was capable and extremely tight-lipped, so there was no fear of leaks.
