Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Five: Journey to the Mountains
Yunnan, located on the southwest border of country Z, has a subtropical monsoon climate. The climate here is humid, the four seasons are not obvious, and the overall environment is relatively muggy. In addition, there are many mountains here. Excluding the big cities, there are often some villages and towns located in the dense and silky mountains.
It is true that rugged mountain roads make transportation in mountain villages and towns inconvenient, but sometimes these villages and towns are more attractive than big cities, and occasionally become tourist spots for foreign tourists.
After all, don’t modern urbanites often advocate returning to nature?
The weather is moderate and the environment is pleasant.
At this moment, on a mountainous road, accompanied by the roar of locomotives, a medium-sized passenger bus was driving slowly, proceeding cautiously along this not-so-wide road.
Staring out of the car window, staring at the roadside, looking at the lush vegetation full of vitality, Zhang Zhiyong was in a pretty good mood inside the bus. After several days of travel, everyone finally arrived in Yunnan, and was contacted by the company on the third day after arriving.
Good buses take you to visit mountainous attractions.
I have to say that the company was really generous this time. It not only gave paid leave to many employees, but also organized all the company's middle managers to participate in the trip to Yunnan for free. The company fully reimbursed the travel expenses, even for people like them in the city.
Accommodation fees are also borne by the company, and of course it is limited to these two items. Personal expenses during the trip still have to be borne by themselves. Even so, the seven people currently in the car are still very satisfied.
Since everyone was satisfied, the rest was easy. Under the leadership of General Manager Liu Dong, after arriving in Yunnan, everyone first rested in a reserved hotel for two days, and then Liu Dong rented a medium-sized bus to carry him and the other 6 people.
People went out to play in a nearby mountain, and at this moment, seven people were traveling on this mountain-ringing road with the bus.
The people in the car are:
General manager Ma Zhilong, deputy manager Zhang Qifeng, property manager Meng Fei, deputy manager Sun Chuanfa, project manager Fang Min, deputy manager Zhang Zhiyong, plus general manager Liu Dong who was driving the car, no more, no less, exactly 7 people.
………
“What a view!”
"Hey, Manager Meng, do you think this road around the mountain looks like a big winding snake? Coupled with the mist high in the mountains, it's really beautiful. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful scenery."
Seeing Meng Fei looking relaxed and happy, maybe he found an opportunity. Zhang Qifeng, who was sitting on the opposite right, had a smile on his face and complimented him casually. Then he deliberately stood up and pointed at the scenery outside the window while looking at Meng Fei opposite.
Try to strike up a conversation.
Sure enough, after all the nonsense, Zhang Qifeng successfully interrupted Meng Fei's appreciation of the scenery, and turned around following the voice instinctively. When she saw that the other party was Zhang Qifeng, the woman frowned slightly, and finally nodded in a perfunctory tone and replied: "Well, that's what Deputy Manager Zhang said.
.”
As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, and bystanders are clear-eyed. Looking at the front row, seeing Zhang Qifeng pestering Meng Fei for nothing, Zhang Zhiyong, who was sitting on the guest chair in the back row, couldn't help but show contempt. He naturally knew Zhang Qifeng and Meng Fei.
Especially Meng Fei, when Fang Min became the manager of the project department,
Before the manager, Meng Fei was the only female manager in the company, and she was quite pretty. Although she might not be as good as Fang Min in appearance, her work ability was far ahead of her. Overall, the woman was very good, even if
To this day, she is still the dream lover of many male employees in the company.
It is conceivable that since she is the lover of her dreams, there must be no shortage of suitors. In addition, Meng Fei is not too old at 28 years old and just divorced last year. Therefore, she has become Zhang Qifeng's pursuit target recently. It is a pity that Meng Fei is not interested in Zhang Qifeng.
It seems that he doesn't catch a cold very much. No matter how attentive and approachable he is, the other party always deliberately keeps a distance from him.
As for the reason?
How could Zhang Zhiyong not know the reason? Not only did Meng Fei not like this person, but there were not many people present who liked him at all. Yes, Zhang Qifeng's appearance was quite poor, with many pockmarks on his face. What do you think?
It's okay, but once you look at it for a long time, you will become more and more uncomfortable. Of course, appearance is only secondary. The key point is that this person is not only inferior to his peers in society in terms of appearance.
Such a disgrace to the society. It is said that this person's lifestyle is quite problematic. Many employees of the company have seen him hanging out with various women in private. It is conceivable that even others know that this guy has a good reputation, so the same is true in the company.
How could Meng Fei from a company not hear about it? Perhaps this is the main reason why Meng Fei didn't want to talk to Zhang Qifeng.
Looking at the arrangements and listening to the words, Meng Fei already showed displeasure, but Zhang Qifeng still kept asking for words. Behind him, Ma Zhilong, who was sitting side by side with Zhang Zhiyong, finally couldn't stand it any longer. He coughed, then raised his head and said to Zhang Qifeng: "
Qi Feng, are you thirsty? I have water here, do you want a drink of water while we chat?"
The result was predictable. When someone interrupted him, Zhang Qifeng, who was frothing at the mouth, immediately became unhappy and quickly turned around. Then, for some reason, when he found out that the interrupter was Ma Zhilong, the man's unhappy expression disappeared instantly and was replaced.
With a smile on his face:
"Haha, no need, Manager Ma, I'm not thirsty just yet."
He waved his hand to express his refusal, and finally turned around and sat back in his original position, but...
Although on the surface it seemed that Zhang Qifeng finally became honest after Ma Zhilong's deliberate reminder and stopped pestering Meng Fei, in fact at this moment the man was very angry and unhappy. As soon as he sat down, the man's smiling face disappeared and was replaced by
He had a gloomy look on his face and at the same time said something in his mouth
He also muttered something in a voice that was so small that only he could hear it: "Yeah, isn't it just that you are older? What's the big deal? You are almost 50 and you still like to meddle in your own business. If I hadn't been with you
Be your deputy, otherwise I won’t be afraid of you..."
Putting aside Zhang Qifeng's muttering and displeasure, seeing the other person sitting back and no longer harassing him, the oldest person in the back row sighed, and Ma Zhilong whispered to Zhang Zhiyong next to him with a helpless tone: "Zhang Qifeng
This guy's job is okay, but he has some problems with his personal life style. I really wonder if he will be able to secure his position as department manager after I retire in a few years."
After the manager in front of him, who had always been strict and senior in the company, sighed, out of professional habit, Zhang Zhiyong quickly said insincerely to comfort him: "Brother Ma, you are worrying too much. I don't think Brother Qi Feng is like you."
It’s so serious, it’s just that I said a little too much, it’s nothing.”
"Xiao Zhang, don't try to comfort me. I have been working in the company for so many years and I have always been very accurate in judging people."
Some people are happy and some are worried. Just like what they just experienced, seeing that Zhang Qifeng finally stopped harassing her and stroked her long hair, Meng Fei hurriedly nodded slightly to the old horse in the back row to express her gratitude. She thanked the other person and was about to continue to enjoy the scenery outside the window.
Unexpectedly, Fang Min, who had been sitting next to him, tapped him with his hand.
"Um?"
Ben Ben turned around and looked at the other party, and saw that Fang Min had already put on a curious expression, shaking the ponytail on the back of her head, and then patted Meng Fei while saying something loud: "Sister Meng Fei, why do you think there are always some things in this world?"
The toad wants to eat swan meat?"
Pointing at the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree, if there is any point.
As soon as Fang Min said this, there was a burst of snickers in the car. After all, the above remarks were too obvious, or anyone could tell who the woman was referring to. Sure enough, as the words fell, others snickered.
Laughing, Zhang Qifeng's pockmarked face turned into the color of pig liver in an instant. He looked away and looked at Fang Min opposite, who was clearly on a trip but still put on makeup carefully. At this moment, the pockmarked man was furious!
However...
Unfortunately, anger is just anger after all, and that's all. I suppressed my anger forcefully, and finally acted like I didn't hear anything.
Faced with a woman criticizing her, Zhang Qifeng actually chose to endure it? Just like he did when he faced Nao Ma Zhilong just now, he chose to swallow his anger.
how so?
If Ma Zhilong was his direct superior, it would be understandable that he would not dare to refute, but Fang Min was actually from another department and could not control him no matter what.
The answer is self-evident. It's not that he doesn't want to fight back, but that he doesn't want to offend the other party.
Like most people in the company, Zhang Qifeng looked down on this woman who succeeded in seducing the chairman. He also hated the woman's pretentiousness. Although he was right, he still knew that the chairman was behind the scenes.
Fang Min's unlucky deputy, Zhang Zhiyong, could only swallow his anger. He, who worked in other departments, could not offend the woman.
The so-called taking a step back to open up the world, let alone, he really did it. At this moment, after fully understanding this point, Zhang Qifeng decisively swallowed his anger and actually showed a noble temperament of a good man who does not fight with women.
Opposite, Fang Min, who was wearing a red casual suit, saw the pockmarked man was silent and glanced at him with disdain. Finally, under the pressure of a certain irresistible physiological function, he made a request to Meng Fei: "That's right.
, Sister Meng Fei, can you get off the car with me later for convenience? I dare not go alone in the barren mountains and mountains."
Seeing that the other party asked him to accompany him to relieve himself, perhaps because he was afraid of delaying the trip, he looked up at the driver in front of him, hesitated for a moment, nodded and replied: "Okay, but we still have to hurry up. After all, we can't let everyone wait in the car.
us."
"Haha, it's okay. Do you want to go now? If you go now, I will stop the car immediately."
It seems that I heard the conversation between the two women. In front of me, Liu Dong was concentrating on driving. He smiled and said that there was no problem, looking like a gentleman.
Seeing that the general manager didn't care and smiled bitterly, Meng Fei asked Fang Min helplessly: "Do you want to go now?"
As mentioned above, out of good intentions, both Liu Dong and Meng Fei said they could get off the car at any time. However, Fang Min did not nod directly as expected this time. He looked up through the car window and looked at the surrounding environment, and finally
While pointing forward, he said to Liu Dong: "Uh, Mr. Liu, wait, wait until the car turns the curve in front and then stop."
"OK."
Liu Dong silently agreed, turned to Sun Chuanfa, who was sitting in the passenger seat and ordered: "I'm a little tired after driving all the way. I'll stop the car after I turn the corner in front, and you'll be driving the rest of the way."
Question?"
"No problem, no problem Mr. Liu, just leave it to me later."
Upon hearing his boss's inquiry, Liu Chuanfa, who was wearing a pair of highly myopic glasses and was thin, nodded in agreement. In fact, Liu Chuanfa's presence in the company has never been high. Although he is a deputy manager, he has not had any leadership style for a long time.
More than 30 years old and not married yet
, not only has a popular face, but he is also short-sighted. He wears myopia glasses all day long and works diligently in the company to do his job. This person is not very good at talking and is relatively honest. He has always been Meng Fei in the finance department.
The deputy, along with other managers, participated in the trip this time.
Admiring the beautiful scenery, circling the mountain road, the buses moved forward one after another, and there was no trace of people wherever they passed.
A minute later, after turning the corner, the roar disappeared and the bus stopped by the roadside.
Meng Fei and Fang Min both got out of the car and walked toward the woods on the roadside.
"Don't go too far, or you'll get lost!"
"Ah hoo."
Watching the two women disappearing into the woods one after another, through the car window, Liu Dong shouted to the two of them, yawned, slowly got up from the driver's seat, walked to the back seat and sat down, feeling relieved.
Obviously, driving is not an easy job, not to mention driving on a mountainous road. The hard work is self-evident. It is difficult for a single driver to persist. If he hadn't heard that Liu Chuanfa also had a B permit, he might have had to drive before setting off.
Hire an extra driver.
Putting aside Liu Dong's hard work, he looked around, looked up and saw that the two women were no longer in the car, and saw Liu Chuanfa walking to the driver's seat. Zhang Qifeng, who had been unhappy for a long time, finally found the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction and turned back.
Platoon Zhang Zhiyong joked in a slightly meaningful tone: "Brother Zhiyong, I finally realize how difficult it is for you! Tsk, tell the truth, it must be hard to be a deputy under a woman, right?"
As mentioned above, after confirming that only men were left at the scene, Zhang Qifeng opened his mouth without any scruples. Unexpectedly, before Zhang Zhiyong could answer, Liu Dong, who had just sat down, shook his head and reminded him: "Qifeng, don't say such things, be careful.
Disaster comes from the mouth."
Out of good intentions, the general manager gave a reminder, and Ma Zhilong also held the same view as Liu Dong. Sure enough, after Liu Dong spoke, Ma Zhilong followed closely and echoed: "Mr. Liu is right, be careful of the disaster that comes from your mouth.
Look at people who are smart and brave, and they will always talk more."
After saying that, he paused, and maybe something suddenly occurred to him. After hesitating for a moment, Ma Zhilong specifically added: "There is also Meng Fei who has no feelings for you at all. Can't you tell? I suggest you do it in the future.
Just stop pestering others."
If the words of Liu Dong and Ma Zhilong just now could make Zhang Qifeng nod his head frequently, then when Ma Zhilong's last suggestion was uttered, the pockmarked man immediately became unhappy. He spread his hands, curled the corners of his mouth, and made a
A funny expression that says you can't care less.
Seeing that Zhang Qifeng refused to listen, Ma Zhilong sighed slightly, while Zhang Zhiyong was even more lazy to talk to Zhang Qifeng, glanced out the window, and finally asked Liu Dong a question prompted by some sudden idea, a question that he had cared about for a long time.
:
"Mr. Liu, this road is so quiet, and I noticed that our car seems to be the only one on the road?"
