Practice has shown that of the five words "especially able to endure hardship", Lu Xiaolin only managed the first four. As for the last word "bitter", she had already vomited it all over the floor along with the bile.
The first company the working group went to investigate was called Jinnan Chemical Factory, which is an old company specializing in the production of synthetic resins. As the name suggests, Jinnan Chemical Factory is located in the south of Jintang City, but it is far away from Jintang City.
It's a four- to five-hour drive, and it's in the middle of a huge mountain.
There are four people in the working group, and the Jintang Economic Commission also sent several people to accompany them. In total, there are seven or eight people. An ordinary small car cannot fit in it, so the Jintang Economic Commission specially borrowed a car from a subsidiary company that can seat more than ten people.
A small minivan was used to transport the working group to Jinnan Chemical Plant for investigation.
This minivan is probably a few years younger than Qin Hai. The shock absorber springs have lost their elasticity, and the engine is whirring like an asthma attack. It makes people feel worried. The driver sent by the subordinate company is even more
It's a strange thing. The car can drive fast and slow. On flat land, it can have the effect of walking on a mountain road, and on mountain roads, it can have the effect of surfing on the sea. Before the group of people had gone 20 kilometers on the road, Lu Xiaolin was already dizzy.
.
"Hey, master, can you drive slower?" Lu Xiaolin begged while vomiting.
"Okay, I'll drive slower." The unscrupulous driver replied perfunctorily, but he didn't let go of the accelerator at all.
"Xiaolu, don't close your eyes. Try to look out the window. Looking far into the distance will help eliminate motion sickness." Xia Yangjie, who was sitting in the same row as Lu Xiaolin, gave her some advice.
Lu Xiaolin tried to look out the window, but to no avail. The car was twisting and turning, and the scenery outside the window had no sense of stability at all, which only made Lu Xiaolin feel more dizzy.
"It really doesn't work... If you don't mind, you can lean on my shoulder. It might be better." Xia Yangjie said helplessly. He was not good at dealing with the opposite sex, but at this time, he could only obey the authority.
"Well, thank you." Lu Xiaolin had already wanted to lend her a shoulder to lean on. Upon hearing Xia Yangjie's invitation, she quickly leaned her head over there. However, the position she leaned on was not Xia Yangjie's shoulder, but his.
The chest that looks somewhat generous can provide a girl with a sense of security in times of crisis.
"Uh..." Xia Yangjie's face suddenly turned red, as if he had been molested by Lu Xiaolin. He didn't know where to put his hands. He put them here and there. People who didn't know better thought that
What mechanism is he simulating filament winding?
Qin Hai sat behind the two of them and watched this scene. He only thought it was funny. He turned to Zeng Zhiqiang, the chief of the Comprehensive Section of the Jintang Economic Commission who was accompanying them in the seat next to him, and said: "Chief Zeng, can you tell the driver?
If he drives slower, you won't be able to stand looking at the small road."
"The roads here are like this, there's nothing we can do..." Zeng Zhiqiang explained, but when Qin Hai spoke, it was inconvenient for him not to respond. So he raised his head and shouted to the front: "Xiao Zhao, drive more carefully."
The leader is motion sick."
"I've been driving very steadily." The driver, Xiao Zhao, replied without looking back, but then there was a bang, and the car jumped over a big pothole again, causing everyone in the car to move their butts off their seats.
Xia Yangjie was smart enough to put a hand on Lu Xiaolin's back, preventing her from flying with him.
"This kid did it on purpose!" Heizi, who was sitting on the other side of Qin Hai, said to Qin Hai in a low voice.
"Are you talking about Lao Xia?" Qin Hai was staring at the two people in front of him, thinking about all kinds of gossip in his mind. After hearing Heizi's words, he immediately assumed the role of Xia Yangjie.
Heizi shook his head slightly and said, "I'm talking about the driver named Zhao."
"Really?" Qin Hai was stunned. He also felt that the car was driving a bit strange, but he only thought about the driver's poor skills. He did not think about the driver's deliberate motives.
Deliberately...does this mean you want to give the working group a slap in the face?
Qin Hai couldn't remember where his working group had offended Jintang City, but the arrangements given to them by Jintang City were indeed somewhat unreasonable. For example, there were three chemical companies next to Jintang City.
, there is no need for the Jintang Economic Committee to let them go to the most remote Jinnan Chemical Plant first. Such a long distance, such a classic car, and a driver with an ugly face, this is obviously an attempt to embarrass the working group.
.
"Stop the car for a moment...just say you need to go to the toilet." Heizi whispered.
Qin Hai and Heizi had already formed a tacit understanding. After hearing Heizi's words, he did not hesitate and shouted directly: "Master Zhao, can you stop by the side of the road so that I can help you?"
The driver couldn't refuse such a request. The car stopped by a small forest. Qin Hai opened the door, jumped out of the car, and ran into the small forest for a walk. Heizi stood up and shouted to everyone in the car.
: "Everyone, please get off the car and take a rest. Lao Xia, help Secretary Lu to stand down there for a while and have a rest."
Lu Xiaolin really wanted to get off the car and stand for a while. After hearing Heizi's suggestion, she stood up and groped her way to the car. Xia Yangjie quickly reached out to help her and helped her get out of the car.
Several people from the working group got out of the car, and several accompanying people from the Economic Commission could no longer sit in the car, so they got out of the car one after another. Some people followed Qin Hai and ran into the woods for convenience.
Some people stood next to the car, took out their cigarettes, puffed away cigarettes, and chatted about the weather and current affairs.
Heizi bypassed everyone and came to the driver's side. Without the driver's consent, he opened the door of the cab, handed over a cigarette, and said, "Master, come down and have a cigarette and rest."
"Why rest? There's still a long way to go." The driver responded with a dark face, not reaching out to catch Heizi's cigarette, obviously unwilling to communicate.
"Brother, you better come down, I have something to tell you." Heizi said with a smile.
"What can you do to me?" the driver muttered, but still got out of the car.
"Come on, let's talk here." Heizi put his hand around the driver's shoulders, and regardless of how the driver struggled, he pushed him to the woods on the other side. Heizi has eaten well this year, and
I did some physical work in the factory and gained a lot of strength. The driver was a head shorter than Heizi, and his body was obviously not as strong as Heizi, so he had no ability to resist.
"Hey, what do you mean?" the driver yelled angrily. No matter who it was, it would not feel good to be forcefully pulled aside like this. He shook his shoulders desperately, trying to break away Heizi's hand.
, while protesting angrily.
"I just want to ask you one thing, can you drive?" Heizi let go of the driver's shoulder and looked at the driver with a half-smiling expression.
The driver was stunned and immediately wanted to turn around and leave. He felt that there was no need to discuss this issue with Heizi, and this place was not the place to discuss such issues.
Heizi reached out and grabbed one of the driver's arms with a snap, holding him firmly, then stared at him and asked again: "I'll ask you again, do you know how to drive?"
"What do you want to do?" The driver was a little scared. He didn't know if he should shout and let others come to save him. But in broad daylight, it seemed a bit inappropriate for him, a grown man, to shout for help. Or so.
In embarrassment, he softened his tone and argued: "The road is so bad, what can I do?"
Heizi clamped the driver's neck with one hand and pressed him against a tree. Then he clenched his other hand into a fist, shook it in front of the driver's eyes, and said, "You are so brave. You know the car?"
Who is that girl? Do you know who her father is? I don’t care who told you to cause trouble, I only warn you, if you don’t drive well for me in the next half of the journey, after I return to Jintang, I
I’ll crush you to death.”
When he said this, there was a kind of indifference in Heizi's eyes, which he had developed when he was a loan shark in Pingyuan County. The words he used to scare the driver were also carefully designed by him. In fact, he
He didn't know what Lu Xiaolin's family background was, but he believed that such words could scare a young driver in a small place.
Just now, he had carefully observed the driver's words and deeds, and knew that this man was not a bloody man, but the kind of villain who was good at speculation. To deal with such villains, inducements and threats were the best ways, among which
Threats are more effective.
The passengers in the car were all smoking and chatting on the right side of the car. Heizi and the driver were talking in the woods on the left side of the car without attracting anyone's attention. When everyone returned to the car and the car restarted, everyone was surprised to find
, the car drove smoothly, and there was no longer the roller coaster-like feeling before.
"It seems that the car is also tired. It will be fine if you rest for a while." Qin Hai said to Zeng Zhiqiang with a smile.
"Yes, yes, hehe, hehe." Zeng Zhiqiang responded with a smile.
"Okay, the car is running smoothly. I don't have to rely on it anymore. Thank you." Lu Xiaolin sat up straight and said to Xia Yangjie while arranging the messy hair on her head.
Xia Yangjie grunted and said, "You're welcome. It's a man's bounden duty to protect women."
"I can't tell, you, a science nerd, are quite a bit of a chivalrous person." Lu Xiaolin commented with a smile.
Xia Yangjie said sternly: "I'm not a nerd. Don't discriminate against those who study science."
"Oh, when I vomited just now, did it splash on you?" Lu Xiaolin looked at the few stains on Xia Yangjie's pants and said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay, it was an honest mistake," Xia Yangjie said.
Lu Xiaolin said: "When you get here, I will help you wash it."
"No, no, I can wash it myself."
"Help each other, you are a big man, why are you so shy..."
"I'm not shy..."
"You are so shy..."
"I do not……"
"Uh..." Qin Hai sat in the back and couldn't help but feel a little motion sick. Please, don't let the relationship between you two develop so fast. This is a public place! (To be continued...)
