Li Wenjun couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, okay. My schedule is not tight this time. I only have to go to your factory and the steel factory for official business."
Director Cai replied: "It would be better if you could bring your lover with you. Zhang Lili would like to meet your teacher Gu."
Li Wenjun replied: "She has to go to class. School has started."
Factory Director Cai: "Oh, right. That's okay. Next time, you come first this time. We agreed. You go straight to our factory after you come out of the train station and stay in our guest house. You should do your work in the afternoon.
Why, you must come to my house for dinner in the evening. I will wait for you in the office and then go home with you."
Li Wenjun replied: "I know."
------
Li Wenjun thought for a while, then picked up the phone and called Tao Guangming's office: "Hi, it's me."
Tao Guangming snorted: "What's wrong? We've only been apart for more than an hour and you already miss me?"
Li Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't talk nonsense, I have something serious to ask you."
Tao Guangming became serious: "Well, you say."
Li Wenjun: "Do you have any ready-made ornaments and pendants on hand? The smaller ones should not be of such good quality. It is best if they are made by Master Sun before. It would be better if you have two."
Tao Guangming became wary: "What for?" If Li Wenjun wanted to use it himself, he would definitely choose the best and largest piece of jade. There is no need to dig and search like this.
So he must be doing something else.
For example, take it to sell and test the water.
Li Wenjun sighed: "I want to give it away."
Tao Guangming frowned: "Who? Who deserves you to give such a good thing?"
Li Wenjun: "Don't ask so many questions now. I'll tell you when I finish the matter. I'll drive over to pick it up right now. I'll use it tomorrow."
Tao Guangming nodded: "Okay. I have two smaller ones here. They are not high-end enough to bring to the port city, and they are not affordable for ordinary people to put on the counter, so I just put them in the safe. Since you want them, you can
Take it."
Li Wenjun asked: "Well, what was the quotation at that time? I will bring the money."
Tao Guangming sneered: "Don't ask for a quotation. If you ask for a quotation, you won't be able to afford it. You should just pay me the price of the jade material plus the processing fee. It saves me having to use my brain."
Li Wenjun knew his temper. Considering that he had originally given the jade material and designed the shape, it seemed a bit strange to buy it at the selling price.
So he replied: "Okay, I'll be here right away. Wait for me in the office."
Tao Guangming muttered: "I'm so tired of hearing this sentence every day, and you made me hear it twice today."
Li Wenjun said: "I will help you make a hot water shower system when the time comes."
Tao Guangming immediately said: "Okay, come on."
-----
Li Wenjun hung up the phone, wrote himself a letter of introduction, and prepared to take the car and go directly to Tao Guangming's place.
Chen Zichen and Li Changming were still studying the picture in the yard.
When Chen Zichen heard Li Wenjun coming out, he raised his head and asked him: "Have the talks been concluded?"
Li Wenjun stopped in a hurry and said: "Chief Chen, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how many detours I would have to go through to contact Section Chief Qi."
Chen Zichen didn't look happy at all: "You're welcome, I just dialed a number. With your ability, even if I don't make the call for you, you can contact him very quickly."
Li Wenjun said hurriedly: "No, no, no. If I had to contact you myself, it would still take a lot of effort. You really saved me a lot of time."
Chen Zichen was dubious.
Li Changming said: "This is what my family often says, what is it called? Everyone shows their strengths. If you have connections and he has eloquence, this can be done. You must have helped."
Chen Zichen's face improved and he nodded: "Okay, if the factory manager needs my help in the future, just ask me."
Li Wenjun had always been suppressing him. He asked Li Wenjun for help. Now he finally had something that Li Wenjun needed his help for. It was great that he finally regained some self-esteem in front of Li Wenjun.
Li Wenjun told Li Changming: "Dad, I may not be able to come back in time at noon. Please tell Gu Zhanyan not to wait for me to have lunch."
Li Changming waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."
-----
Li Wenjun drove the car again and arrived at the office of the farmer's market at lightning speed.
Tao Guangming leaned against the door and looked at him with a half-smile.
Li Wenjun looked puzzled: "Why are you smiling so lewdly?"
Tao Guangming's face darkened: "Go away, you're so naughty. I want to make a bet with you. Your car won't be able to drive back today."
Li Wenjun frowned: "Huh? Why do you say that?"
Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet, Tao Guang pointed at the car and asked, "Do you know how far this car can run on flat ground with a full tank of gas?"
Li Wenjun thought for a while and said: "This car is a Beiji 212 medium-sized car. It has a fuel tank of 55 to 75 liters and can run more than 500 kilometers?" Then he suddenly shouted: "Fuck you."
Doing the math, after Tao Guangming gave him the car, he went to pick up the porcelain twice and drove back and forth to the county town many times. Even if Tao Guangming filled up the gas for him, it was already very difficult to survive until now.
"Out of gas." Li Wenjun smiled bitterly.
In the past, it was the driver who took care of this matter, so he didn't have to worry about it at all, and now there were no gas stations on the roadside, so he couldn't even think of checking the fuel tank.
Tao Guangming sneered: "You're a genius, you have an automatic and manual control, you're self-taught, you can't even read a fuel gauge. That's why I don't like you."
Li Wenjun touched his chin: "How to do it?"
Tao Guangming raised his hand: "Let's go and refuel. What can we do?"
Li Wenjun: "Where is the gas station? What should I do if I run out of gas halfway?"
Tao Guangming said: "I have a small bottle here. I'll add it to you first. Then I'll take you to refuel."
------
As expected, Tao Guangming took out a small tin can of gasoline and poured it into the fuel tank of the jeep, then directed Li Wenjun to the auto repair shop in the county town.
There is only such a small auto repair shop in the entire county.
Because drivers in this era have to take the car repair test when taking the driver's license test. Therefore, if there are any minor problems with the car, the driver will almost always solve it himself.
I would only come here if something went wrong and a major part needed to be replaced.
Auto repair shops are filled with various dismantled car parts, engines and frames.
Tao Guangming was very familiar with the people here. He jumped out of the car and said to the people who came out to greet him: "Director Lu, I brought a friend here today. If he runs out of gas in the future, he will come to you. Please help him fill the tank."
Just click and the price will be the same as what was given to me.”
Director Lu, a calm and loyal man in his thirties, shook hands with Li Wenjun: "He is another young and promising comrade, and he has a car at such a young age."
Tao Guangming deliberately raised Li Wenjun's identity, saying: "He not only owns cars, he also has an electronics factory, a furniture factory, a clothing factory, a porcelain factory and a handicraft factory. Maybe a new factory will be built in a few days."
