Chapter 0015 brother's second-hand car
There were several autumn rains in Sioux City in September. As the saying goes, one autumn rain and another cold, the hot summer is gradually leaving people, and autumn is quietly approaching with coolness and harvest.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival coincides with the National Day holiday, and another Golden Week is approaching.
Fang Feiyang was lying on the bed, looking at the calendar on his phone. The day after tomorrow was the National Day. Since he started working, he had never had a holiday during the National Day every year. He spent all of it on the assembly line in the workshop.
Except for the company which gives some front-line employees a few days off every Spring Festival, normal shift production is the norm during other holidays.
Just when Fang Feiyang was thinking about whether to use up his annual leave during the National Day to go back to his hometown in Fengcheng to visit his parents, the clear ringtone of his cell phone suddenly rang.
When I saw the caller ID, it read "Zhang Guoshan"
"Hello!"
"Hey, Feiyang, it's me." The familiar voice of his best friend came from the other end of the phone.
"I know it's you, what's the matter?" Fang Feiyang asked lazily.
Fang Feiyang and Zhang Guoshan have been studying together for four years, and the two have been in constant contact with each other during work. They know that as a fellow countryman, he always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. If he calls him so late, there must be something wrong.
"Brother, I bought a car, do you want to celebrate together?" Zhang Guoshan's voice sounded a little excited on the phone.
"That's a good thing. What kind of car is it? When can I lend it to my buddy to show off?"
When Fang Feiyang heard the news, he was a little excited. At the last class reunion, Zhang Guoshan told him that he wanted to buy a second-hand car and drive it, and now he finally got his wish.
During the summer vacation of their second year of college, the two of them had nothing to do at home. They watched their friends and relatives around them, regardless of whether they had cars or not, go to learn driver's licenses one by one. The two of them also joined in the fun and got a license in Fengcheng.
After two months of driving lessons at New Century Driving School, I got that small black leather book.
The driver's license was obtained, but it was a pity that both of them did not own a car. Now that his brother said that he had just bought a car, Fang Feiyang's first reaction was that his driver's license, which had been dormant for many years, could finally be used.
"Hi, this is a second-hand Volkswagen Polo. Our manager wants to exchange it for a new car. His hatchback Polo will be resold to me at a cheaper price. I will have the National Day holiday in two days and I want to drive it home for a spin. You can be my observer. Never
I’ve never been on the expressway, so I don’t know what I’m doing!”
"Okay, then I will put my hand on the handbrake and stare forward. If there is any movement, I will pull the handbrake hard... Haha..."
Originally, Fang Feiyang was thinking about whether to go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day. There happened to be a free bus ride, so he immediately agreed readily. When he got to Fengcheng, he could take it over and drive for two days.
"Holy shit, don't do it, everyone will be done with it..." Zhang Guoshan laughed and cursed on the phone.
.......
Finally, the two of them agreed on a time, and Zhang Guoshan would set off as soon as he got off work at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon. At this time of year, the days are still long and the nights are short. Going home from Suzhou, the whole journey is on the expressway. If there is no traffic jam, it will take more than two hours to arrive.
My hometown is Fengcheng.
After hanging up the phone, Fang Feiyang took out a backpack, simply packed a few changes of clothes and stuffed them into the bag. He planned to go out with the backpack tomorrow and go to the company to apply for leave, instead of going back to the dormitory to pack his luggage.
Fang Feiyang, who was lying on the bed, did not fall asleep. He was thinking about whether he should quit this boring assembly line job. Now he is studying under Mr. Song and is exploring the edge of the antique collecting circle. During this twelve-hour working day It's such a waste of time. Now I can only squeeze in time after work every day to learn antique knowledge. It would be great if I could find a job in the antique trading market. I can not only come into contact with these antique objects every day, but also exercise my eyesight and improve myself. .
"Hey, I don't want to. I'm going home tomorrow. After the National Day, I'll go to the antique market for more walks. Maybe there will be some jobs."
With deep tiredness, Fang Feiyang fell into sleep.
Early the next morning, Fang Feiyang came to the factory first and went through a leave application procedure. He used five days of annual leave and asked for two days of personal leave. He took seven days of leave and the approval of his leave application procedure was signed by the squad leader. From the supervisor, to the manager, to the general manager. After walking around the factory for several times, the final signing procedures were completed.
After leaving Fukang Electronics, Fang Feiyang saw that it was already ten o'clock in the morning. He didn't know what to do and wandered around the factory aimlessly.
"Why don't you go to Zhang Guoshan's company for a walk, take him to work now, and see if you can drive his Volkswagen Polo out for some practice."
Thinking of this, Fang Feiyang got on a bus going to the city.
Brother Fang Feiyang’s workplace is located on the 22nd floor of the Phoenix Building in the city center. It is a medium-sized auction company. Zhang Paoshan changed two jobs after graduation, and finally came to this company to do administrative work. Now.
It is said to be administrative work, but it is actually the service department. What Zhang Guoshan usually has to do when working is to follow the boss, arrange cars and book hotels for the big customers in the marketing department. The busiest time of every month is when the company holds events For a special auction, you need to print invitations, contact the hotel, decorate the venue, arrange the schedule, etc.
When Zhang Guoshan first joined this auction house, his salary was not high, only 2,000. After working hard in the company for two years, his manager felt that this young man was easy to use because he was quite generous and hard-working. Within two years, his salary was The level has also increased step by step, and it was just adjusted to 4,000 in the second quarter of this year. So this guy got excited and saw his boss getting a new car, so he took over the previous one.
It took more than an hour for the bus to drive from the industrial park to the bus stop near the Phoenix Building in the city.
Fang Feiyang made a call to Zhang Guoshan downstairs. Without saying a word, this buddy went downstairs and gave him a remote control key with a VW stamp on it. At the same time, he told Fang Feiyang to pay attention to safety and go around the venue first. After a few laps to find the feeling from before, I took him in the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Because today is the last working day before the National Day holiday, almost all colleagues in the company are talking about holiday plans and where to go for vacation. Everyone is too busy with things and has no intention of going to work. There are a few guys from the marketing department who are taking advantage of the absence of their leaders. , he skipped work directly on the pretext of meeting clients. Seeing this situation, Zhang Paoshan was not in the mood to work. He happened to receive a call from Fang Feiyang and took him to the parking lot to find the second-hand Volkswagen Polo.
On the second underground floor, a white hatchback Polo parked quietly inside the yellow parking space line.
"How's it going, brother? I just got it yesterday!" Zhang Kuoshan proudly showed off in front of his brother.
"Well, the maintenance is OK, 80% new." Fang Feiyang answered as he walked around the car.
"That's why I took action. The manager of my department has owned it for three years. He treats it like a wife and washes it at least twice a week."
Zhang Paoshan opened the car door, let Fang Feiyang get into the front cab, and then he sat in the passenger seat.
Start the car, fasten the seat belt, and with the encouragement of his brother, Fang Feiyang gently lifts the clutch and slowly applies the gas. Under his control, the little polo spins around the underground parking lot.
"Okay, Feiyang, I thought you would have to turn off the engine at least three times, but I didn't expect you would find the feeling so quickly!"
Zhang Guoshan quickly got started with Fang Feiyang and drove in a decent manner. His worries were relieved. After all, driving is not a child's play. This is a major matter where safety is paramount. It is not allowed to happen.
A little sloppy.
While Fang Feiyangyi was practicing circles in the parking lot at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour, a black Honda Accord slowly drove out of the parking space beside it, turned on its headlights, and looked like it was about to go out.
By chance, Fang Feiyang blocked its direction with his small Polo.
The Accord seemed to be on stimulants. It kept honking the horn and kept flashing its headlights behind it. Fang Feiyang was startled by the harsh honking sound and quickly pulled over to let it go.
The car was tense and the clutch was lifted too fast. The car hummed and stalled. When this guy drove the Accord past Fang Feiyang on the left, he rolled down the window arrogantly and shouted at Fang Feiyang, "Do you know how to drive?"
