Qingshi Hi-Tech gave Liu Handong a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, and even with this salary, he had to obey the orders. From the next day, he became the full-time driver of Chairman Xia Qingshi.
Early the next morning, Liu Handong came to Xia's house as usual. In the past, he drove a car and waited on the porch, but today he was called into the house by the nanny. Xia Qingshi sat at the dining table to eat, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and bean juice, all homemade breakfast. He was very happy
He greeted Liu Handong naturally: "Sit down and eat together." Without waiting for an answer, he asked the nanny to bring a pair of chopsticks over.
Liu Handong was also shameless. When he really sat down to eat, Xia's breakfast tasted different from the ones sold in breakfast shops outside. It was particularly delicious. This was because the family chef was in charge of everything from raw materials to production, and even the breakfast was eaten at home.
The vegetables are grown in specialized gardens, without pesticide pollution, and are purely natural green vegetables.
Xia Qingshi had a bad appetite and ate slowly on purpose. He waited for Liu Handong to finish devouring his food before putting down his chopsticks, wiping his hands and going out to get in the car. Liu Handong drove out of the yard and was quickly followed by an off-road vehicle parked at the gate.
He knew that the person sitting inside was the bodyguard of Qingshi Hi-Tech.
"Xiao Liu, are you still used to working?" Xia Qingshi casually talked about home affairs.
"It's okay, just a little too leisurely." Liu Handong said.
"I was negligent. Young people should live a more fulfilling life. I heard that your driving skills are very good? I have a part-time job for you. I don't know if you are interested." Xia Qingshi suddenly smiled slyly.
"What kind of job is it? How much is the salary?" Liu Handong asked impatiently.
"Test driver, the pure electric sports car produced by the company requires a test driver, because it needs to test the performance of the vehicle in various extreme environments, and the requirements for test drivers are very high, at least at the racing driver level. Can you do it?"
"I can do it."
"Then let me see the car behind you."
"Let's see." Liu Handong switched to manual mode and stepped on the accelerator. The Audi S8 rushed out like an arrow. The off-road vehicle behind quickly accelerated to follow, but was left far behind. The car intercom rang, and Lao Li's voice came from
But before Liu Handong could exert his best efforts, the road ahead was blocked and he could only move forward one meter at a time. Xia Qingshi seemed a little excited today and asked again: "Xiao Liu, is your monthly salary enough?"
"Thank you, Mr. Xia. I don't have much expenses. I have enough money. In fact, the cost of living in Omi is not high. The main pressure is housing. The company assigned me a dormitory, which solved a big problem for me."
"Then do you think life is happy?"
Liu Handong thought for a while and said: "I am happy, but I am not happy either."
Xia Qingshi smiled: "Oh, how do you say it?"
"I am happy because I have a leisurely and well-paying job, free housing provided by the company, a girlfriend, and status in the world. Based on my background and ability, I have done well enough; I am not happy,
Because I haven’t had a father since I was a child, and my mother still lives in a dilapidated house. I don’t want to live a mediocre life. The so-called contented person will always be happy, but it’s actually a lie. The pigs in the pigsty have a mouthful of wheat chaff to eat and the sun to bask in them.
The most contented people are the same. Those who have no ambitions are the happiest. But there is also a kind of real happiness, which is to constantly pursue new dreams and realize them. That feeling is not only happiness, but also the driving force for the continuous advancement of human society. Therefore, people
Only when you have pursuit can you be happy.”
Xia Qingshi was a little surprised: "Xiao Liu, I don't see that you are quite thoughtful, so what are your pursuits or dreams?"
Liu Handong said: "Like most people, I live a mediocre life and feel unwilling to do so. I always feel that I can be more awesome. In terms of specific pursuits, I want to buy a house for my mother and a house for my daughter.
It will be difficult for a friend to change his job for a while, but I will try my best. Happiness is like playing a game. The focus is on the process, not the result."
Xia Qingshi asked: "What does your girlfriend do?"
Liu Handong said: "She drives a bus. In the summer, there is no air conditioning. The temperature inside the carriage is 40 to 50 degrees. At the end of the day, she is sweating. It is really hard. I asked her to find someone to change her position. She said she is not afraid of the heat.
, just in time to lose weight, by the way, Mr. Xia, don’t just ask me, do you think you are happy?"
Xia Qingshi said: "I used to think that being a person who can change the world like Steve Jobs is the real happiness. Now I don't think so. Being able to wake up and see my daughter every morning can make my employees happy."
Happiness is my happiness. Okay, let’s not talk about happiness anymore, let’s talk about patriotism..."
After walking and chatting all the way, he arrived at Qingshi Hi-Tech at 9:30 in the morning. Liu Handong had nothing to do again. He went to the staff gym to practice with the combination equipment, went to the game room to play a game of Street Fighter, and went to the cafe to eat some snacks and drink a cup of coffee.
Looking at the vast factory area outside the window, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
He felt uneasy about doing this job. The reason why he was treated so favorably was because he had saved Shu Fan's life. As a grown man, he was resting on his laurels and not thinking about making progress. He was no different from a pig in a pigsty.
Not big.
Liu Handong found Xia Qingshi and asked him if what he said on the car still counts. Xia Qingshi asked if you really want to be a test driver, do you know the dangers of this job?
"I can understand that test drivers are the same as test pilots. There are always various risks in immature products, so they need brave, careful and skilled men to drive them. I don't have any other abilities, but I am not afraid of death.
I'm the best suited for this job."
Xia Qingshi laughed loudly and said that the company is not an army and will not test the car at the risk of human life. If you are willing to do it, just give it a try.
In front of the garage in the test area, the electric door slowly rose, and a black streamlined sports car parked quietly. Liu Handong's eyes lit up, and he circled back and forth a few times, marveling at the red brake calipers inside the 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels, which looked domineering and fierce.
The front of the car, because it is a pure electric car, does not have an imported grille. The shape is relatively unique. The whole car is extremely round. The door handles and lights are properly hidden in the body. The paint is as bright as a mirror. The whole car looks like it is ready to go.
A ferocious beast, fierce and domineering.
"Can I try it?" Liu Handong felt itchy.
Xia Qingshi made an inviting gesture.
Liu Handong got into the car. The seats were very well wrapped and made of breathable mesh leather. The interior was all black. There was no traditional instrument panel, but a huge touch screen, a sports steering wheel, a one-click start of the brake accelerator, and ordinary
The cars are not much different.
Two technicians came forward to explain the operating steps. Because it is a pure electric vehicle, there is no engine roar when it starts. For safety reasons, a simulated roar is designed. The vehicle also has external speakers. When you step on the accelerator, it will look like a high-end large-displacement sports car.
The roaring sound is accompanied by a slight vibration, which directly stimulates the driver's adrenaline secretion.
There was a special circular track in the test area. Liu Handong stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. He glanced at the speedometer and counted the numbers in his mind. It only took less than four seconds to reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour from the starting line. This result was for a car.
It's considered excellent for a supercar, and I'm new to it, so I guess there's still potential to be tapped.
After circling the runway three times, Liu Handong stopped the car, dejected and in a bad mood.
"Why, not satisfied?" Xia Qingshi was surprised.
"It's not that I'm not dissatisfied, I just like it too much. I'm afraid I'll get addicted to driving it and I won't be able to let it go. Mr. Xia, when will this car be launched?" Liu Handong looked back at the supercar from time to time with a look of reluctance.
"There is only one prototype car. The body is made of titanium alloy and carbon fiber. The roof is a solar charging panel. The car contains 48 high-energy fast-charging iron lithium batteries. Plus a customized control system, if you count the labor and
If we invest in scientific research, the cost of this car will be over one billion." Xia Qingshi explained with a smile.
Liu Handong immediately gave up the idea of borrowing it for a few days and asked: "Does our company plan to produce cars in the future?"
Xia Qingshi said: "Qingshi High-Tech is mainly engaged in the development of new energy. We provide batteries and energy solutions for all walks of life. At present, we have occupied half of the country's high-energy battery market. In the future, we may penetrate into deeper application fields, such as producing our own products.
Electric trams, electric helicopters, and even airplanes. Haha, I’m afraid it will take Xiaofan’s generation to complete these great ideals. We currently don’t even have the most basic fast charging technology. Look at this super sports car. Although it runs
It is fast and has sufficient battery life, but it takes two hours to charge. This alone cannot eliminate traditional cars. Moreover, there are also problems such as high temperature explosion caused by rapid charging and discharging of the battery, and the problem of battery energy decline or even failure in extreme environments. Production
The issue of cost..."
He talked non-stop, and his entourage stepped forward to dissuade him: "Mr. Xia, take care of yourself."
"Okay, let's go back." Xia Qingshi got on the electric car. This is a miniature open-top electric car used for transportation in the company's campus. It has a unique and cute shape.
Liu Handong said: "Mr. Xia, what about me being a test driver?"
"You already are." Xia Qingshi replied.
The company's human resources department signed a new labor contract with Liu Handong and hired him as a test driver in the testing department. This job has a high salary, consisting of a basic salary and various subsidies, as well as medical insurance and large personal accident insurance.
The test department not only has this supercar, but also large electric buses, household trams, electric motorcycles, etc. that are under development. Plus Liu Handong, there are a total of five test drivers, all of whom are young people in their twenties and have good physical fitness.
Well, with quick reactions, Liu Handong quickly got along with them. When everyone talked about the supercar, they all praised it, saying it was even more awesome than the Bugatti Veyron. The shape, the momentum, it was a real land monster.
"It would be great if I could borrow it to use as a float when I get married." A young man sighed.
Liu Handong also began to daydream. When he got married, he drove a land monster to pick up Ma Ling. He attracted countless eyeballs on the road and killed everyone he saw, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Jaguar.
The beep on his cell phone brought him back to reality. It was a WeChat message from Li Hui, saying that he was not allowed to go to the class reunion this weekend and that he could bring his partner but not his children.
