"Liang Ladi, get out of here

Hey, Comrade Li Weidong, do you know Liang Ladi?"

Deputy Director Huang's angry expression froze on his face, his fingers froze in mid-air, and he looked at Li Weidong in disbelief.

"We know each other. Last year, I drove a truck to Nanshi Town to deliver relief food. On the way back, the wheels got stuck in the mud."

"Comrade Liang Ladi from your machinery factory and driver Xiao Meng happened to be passing by."

"Thanks to their enthusiastic help in pulling out the truck, we were able to get back to the rolling mill in time."

"Just now when I went to the hut, I met Comrade Liang Ladi."

With that said, Li Weidong turned his attention to Factory Director Liu Feng and smiled: "I just wanted to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and invite Comrade Liang Ladi to have a meal with me. Director Liu, do you mind?"

"I don't mind! I didn't expect that Comrade Weidong and our Comrade Liang Ladi still have this connection." Director Liu Feng smiled and waved to Liang Ladi: "Come on, Comrade Liang Ladi, sit down quickly and wait.

I will give you a toast to Comrade Weidong."

Liang Ladi actually recognized Li Weidong when she entered the door.

It was just that she had resentment in her heart, so she didn't come forward to talk to him.

The machinery factory originally sent them to Nanshi Commune with the purpose of repairing farm machinery and bringing back a big fat pig.

Big fat pig, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at Nanshi Commune, Liang Ladi discovered that the farm machinery of Nanshi Commune had been repaired by the driver of the steel rolling mill.

And in order to thank the driver, Nanshi Commune gave the big fat pig that was originally intended to be given to the machinery factory to the steel rolling mill.

Liang Ladi felt so angry that her heart ached when she thought about helping that nasty driver to pull the truck out of the mud pit on the road.

What made her even more angry was that after returning to the machinery factory, Deputy Director Huang took advantage of the situation and severely criticized Liang Ladi on the grounds that she had not completed the task.

Damn, it's really hateful.

But why did such a hateful person become a distinguished guest in the factory?

She even took the initiative to cover herself up!

Although she couldn't understand it, Liang Ladi still sat down and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect Driver Li to still remember me outside the hut just now."

"Hey, don't call me Driver Li. Now Comrade Weidong is the workshop director of the poverty alleviation workshop of the steel rolling mill." Director Liu Feng said.

"Workshop Director!"

Liang Ladi Muran's eyes widened and she looked at Li Weidong full of admiration.

The workshop director is already considered a middle-level leader in the factory, and it is also a lifelong dream for ordinary workers.

Li Weidong looks like he is only in his twenties and has become a workshop director. His future is unlimited.

"Hey, big brother, now that you are the leader, you will have to recruit your sister in the future."

Liang Ladi's eyes moved as she looked at Li Weidong, seeming to have thought of something.

Deputy Factory Manager Huang next to him did not expect that Li Weidong actually knew Liang Ladi.

While shouting something bad in his heart, he quickly sat down, picked up the wine glass and said: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Come on, I'll punish myself with a drink."

Naturally, Li Weidong would not make Deputy Factory Director Huang look bad because of this matter.

The best way to deal with such an insidious villain is to kill him at once.

Otherwise, he will hide in the dark and keep causing trouble for you.

"Come on, Director Huang, I'll give you a drink in return."

"you are welcome."

Deputy Factory Director Huang picked up the wine glass and thought to himself, this guy seems to be quite sensible!

A quarrel disappeared without a trace.

A luncheon for all the guests.

The report in the afternoon was similar to that in the morning. The well-fed and drunk leaders sat in the audience and felt listless.

To Li Weidong's surprise, Liang Ladi also sneaked in secretly.

The way she held her chin and listened carefully was in sharp contrast to the yawning leaders next to her.

After the meeting, Li Weidong was originally planning to take Yu Haitang back to the steel rolling mill.

As soon as he went out, he was stopped by factory director Liu Feng, with a short gay man standing behind him.

The work uniform on the gay man's body was stained with organic oil dirt. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, with traces of frost cracks on his cheeks. His big eyes were piercing.

When he saw Li Weidong, his face burst into pure joy, and he rushed over with open arms: "Brother Weidong."

"Xiao Meng!" Li Weidong's eyes widened in excitement, he opened his arms and gave him a bear hug.

This is a common way of greeting experienced drivers.

Yu Haitang, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene with a look of surprise on his face. It felt a bit strange for the two grown men to hug each other.

After a warm hug, Li Weidong looked at Xiao Meng carefully.

I haven’t seen him for more than a year, and the tenderness on Xiao Meng’s face has disappeared without a trace, replaced by a kind of confident tenacity.

He is like a pine tree on the hillside, not afraid even in the face of the strongest mountain wind.

Factory Director Liu Feng explained from the side: "Comrade Xiao Meng happened to be away from the car today. When he heard that you were coming, he insisted on coming over because he wanted to catch up with you."

It seems that this guy still has no intention of giving up. Li Weidong understands what Director Liu Feng is thinking.

He admired the director from the bottom of his heart who wanted to revive the machinery factory.

However, he has decided not to step into this quagmire.

He could only pretend to be ignorant and smile, nodding towards Liu Feng: "Thank you, Xiao Meng and I haven't seen each other for a long time. As you know, we are truck drivers and drive around all day long.

Run west."

"That's good, you can take this opportunity to catch up on old times." Liu Feng said with a smile: "It just so happens that you will continue to give reports tomorrow, and you can stay in the guest house of our machinery factory at night."

Li Weidong looked at Yu Haitang with some embarrassment: "Director Liu, your idea is very good, but Comrade Yu Haitang has to rush back and write a press release about what he saw and heard today. As a driver, I naturally have to

Send her back."

"What's the point of this? It's just a gift. I'll just ask my driver to give it to Comrade Yu Haitang."

After listening to the two reports, Factory Director Liu Feng was sure that the workshop director in front of him was the leader he had been waiting for for a long time.

Yu Haitang originally planned to spend some time alone with Li Weidong on the way back, but now seeing Director Liu's firm attitude, he could only nod in agreement.

"Director Li, I'll leave first."

"Bon Voyage."

After seeing off Yu Haitang, Li Weidong, led by Xiao Meng, came to the guest house of the machinery factory.

It is said to be a guest house, but it is actually a dilapidated tube building. Judging from the age, it should have been built for experts from the Soviet Union.

Due to the lack of cleaning all year round, the corridor is covered with substances, which is dark and even a little sticky when you step on it. The waxy yellow doors and window frames are made of wood, and some have been cracked. If they were placed in the countryside, they might be chopped and used as firewood.

.

The room is also very small, less than twenty square meters, and the furnishings are standard for a guest house, with a bed, a table and a cabinet.

To Li Weidong's relief, the room had been cleaned in advance, the bedding had been replaced, and it smelled like sunshine.

Xiao Meng pulled the light cord, and the incandescent light bulb hanging on the roof flickered twice before settling down.

The furnishings in the house looked even more dated under the dim light.

Xiao Meng smiled sheepishly: "Our machinery factory has limited conditions, please don't be offended."

"Oh, what's the point? When I was a driver, didn't we often use it as a bed? It's like a quilt!"

Li Weidong sat down on the chair and poured a cup of tea.

Xiao Meng also became excited when he mentioned being a driver.

"Hey, Brother Wei Dong, let me tell you something strange." A strange look appeared on Xiao Meng's face, and he lowered his voice: "Last summer, the factory had heavy transportation tasks and there were no extra drivers to follow the car. The team sent me

One person went to Xiangxi to deliver a batch of tractor parts."

"It was summer, and you know the weather over there is very hot. Sitting in the cab during the day was like staying in a steamer."

"And, because of the high temperatures, the water tank often boils."

"So, I thought of a way to find a forest to sleep in during the day, and after the sun went down, I would travel all night."

"When we enter western Hunan, there are mountains everywhere. When driving on a mountain road in the dark, the only light on the mountain road is the headlights of the car.

"But there are few people on the road and my speed is not high, so there is no danger."

"Just when I was secretly glad that I could earn a few more yuan this time, suddenly there was an old woman on the roadside in front of me."

"The old lady was wearing that old-style gown, holding a basket in one hand and a cane in the other, walking staggeringly forward."
