On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Gao Mingcheng went to the transportation company early in the morning.
Speaking of which, he hasn't been here for a while.
After arriving here, he did not drive away immediately. Instead, he chatted with Xiao Jinfeng for a few words. From the chat, he learned that when Su Tong came back years ago, he took a truck from the transportation company. On that time, Su Tong brought ten people with him. Several rice cookers and hundreds of kilograms of dried fruits came back.
If it weren't for Xiao Jinfeng's truck, he wouldn't be able to get back so many things by himself.
Xiao Jinfeng said: "The rice cooker is easy to use. There is already someone in the county who wants to do this business. Two days ago, that person went to Su Tong's factory to see it. If the negotiation is concluded, he will ask a transportation company to help them transport the goods. .”
"That's good, the company has another order." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile.
Xiao Jinfeng suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "Oh, by the way, this return trip is mainly to pick up Fan Licheng, so Fan Chengyao rented the car for a round trip. On the return trip, the carriages were all empty. Ming Cheng, You can follow the arrangements, as long as you bring Fan Licheng back safely."
Gao Mingcheng gave a thumbs up and praised: "Boss Fan is so awesome!"
If the transportation company has other business on the return trip, then Fan Licheng will be brought back here by the way.
But now that Fan Chengyao had rented the car for a round trip, Fan Li became the host on the return trip.
Xiao Jinfeng also smiled and said: "Boss Fan has always been generous, and the carriage will not be completely empty. He will definitely let you bring back a lot of things. But among those things, there must be a share for me and a share for you." share!"
"I understand, I understand!" Gao Mingcheng nodded to express his understanding.
Fan Chengyao is doing business in Yangcheng and has not been home much all year long. Now he must bring some gifts to his parents.
After finishing speaking, Gao Mingcheng didn't delay much and got into the car under the guidance of Xiao Jinfeng.
This is a Jiefang heavy-duty truck, a pretty solid one.
"I'm leaving." Gao Mingcheng waved to Xiao Jinfeng who was standing on the ground, then focused on driving, drove the truck out of the parking lot of the transportation company, and then headed all the way towards the national highway.
He was quite familiar with this road and drove smoothly all the way.
Halfway there, he encountered someone waving at the car and saying they wanted a ride.
This kind of hitchhiking happens from time to time, but whether to accept it or not depends entirely on the driver's decision.
If you agree, then the fare can belong to the driver, but at the same time, all the hidden risks will be borne by the driver alone.
There are two types of people who stop cars. One kind really needs help, and the other kind has ulterior motives. If you don't pay attention, you will be knocked unconscious and the car will be robbed.
Gao Mingcheng glanced at the man blocking the car. He was carrying a large canvas bag and a woven bag in his hand. He looked like a traveler on a far journey.
"What's going on with you?" Gao Mingcheng stuck his head out of the car window and asked.
The man quickly said: "I took a ride to Fuzhou, and the car broke down on the way. The driver kicked me out of the car and refused to refund my money. I had no choice but to walk. I had been walking for most of the day. .”
Gao Mingcheng didn't look at him as a person with bad intentions. Moreover, even if the other party attacked him, he was not afraid, so he said: "My car is going to Yangcheng, not Fuzhou, but I can give you a ride. You see Just give me some money."
When he was out and about, when others encountered trouble, he would help if he could. Gao Mingcheng was quite generous. He opened the car door and motioned for the other person to get in the car.
Unexpectedly, after the other party got on the bus, he first thanked him profusely, and then said: "Then I won't go to Fuzhou, I will go to Yangcheng!"
Gao Mingcheng immediately looked at him warily.
I have never heard of the destination changing like this! Looking at him, he looks like a hard-working farmer. Didn't you expect that he is different from what he looks like?
The man quickly explained: "My family can no longer survive. I heard people say that some people went to Fuzhou to work and made money, so I also wanted to go to Fuzhou to work. But I have also heard about Yangcheng. Yangcheng is better, so I just decided Let’s go to Yangcheng.”
"Last year, the weather was dry and the grain harvest was poor. My father became seriously ill again. The treatment cost almost all the family's money. At the end of the year, my father left. This time when I went to work, my aunt and uncle gave me some money. The money is for travel expenses.”
"I originally wanted to take the train, but the train tickets were too expensive. Then I heard someone said that I could save a lot of money by riding in someone else's truck. But I didn't expect that I was kicked off the train after the car broke down only half way."
The man told all his experiences and ended with a sigh.
Gao Mingcheng glanced at him and continued driving.
He kindly reminded: "Okay, sit tight then. You can reach Yangcheng in the afternoon. You'd better think about what you can do. You are unfamiliar with this place. You can't even understand the words spoken in Yangcheng, let alone Looking for a job.”
The man was silent, and after a while he said: "Getting out is a way to survive."
Okay, there was a desperate tone in his tone, so Gao Mingcheng didn't say much more. Anyway, it was just an extra person.
Along the way, the two occasionally chatted, which was more interesting than when he was driving alone.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the truck drove smoothly into Yangcheng and arrived at Fan Chengyao's warehouse.
There were people guarding the warehouse. When they saw the car coming, they immediately called a few more people, and someone else went to notify the boss Fan Chengyao.
Gao Mingcheng got out of the car and opened the door of the carriage so that the unloaders could unload the goods.
About seven or eight minutes later, Fan Chengyao arrived.
Fan Chengyao was accompanied by a kid who was dressed very fashionably, wearing a small suit, a beret, and a pair of shiny leather shoes.
"Uncle Gao, you finally came to pick me up!" Fan Licheng quickly ran to Gao Mingcheng's side. When he saw Gao Mingcheng, he felt a little warm.
He and Gao Mingcheng had only been together for three days, but he just felt that Gao Mingcheng was very reliable and safe.
"Yes, I promised that I would pick you up!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, and praised Fan Licheng for his handsome appearance.
But Fan Licheng didn't appreciate it and curled his lips.
Because the clothes he was wearing were bought for him by his new mother, Aunt Yan.
When he first came here, his father asked Aunt Yan to take him shopping for clothes. He bought several sets from both inside and outside, but Aunt Yan picked them all. Even though he thought they were good, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
This may be a kind of subconscious rebellion, but Fan Licheng is too precocious and knows how to suppress his negative emotions, unlike ordinary naughty children who make trouble.
"Brother Mingcheng, I feel relieved that you are here. How was your journey?" Fan Chengyao also came over and extended his hand to Gao Mingcheng. This is a popular handshake.
Gao Mingcheng shook hands with him and said, "Have a good trip."
When Fan Chengyao heard this, the expression on his face became even more relaxed. But when he glanced at it, he saw a strange face among the people unloading the goods.
"Did you... bring that man?" Fan Chengyao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked Gao Mingcheng.
"Oh, his name is Marin. He is a hitchhiker on the road. He said he was coming to Yangcheng to find something to do. He is diligent and helped others when he saw others unloading the goods. Marin, I don't need your help. You should go find somewhere. Let’s settle down!” Gao Mingcheng greeted Marin who was unloading the goods.
Ma Lin came over and said to Fan Chengyao: "Boss, do you want someone to work here? I can do anything. Just give me a bite to eat and I will work for you."
This Ma Lin is a little smart, and he can tell at a glance that Fan Chengyao is the big boss.
Gao Mingcheng told him to leave, but he hit the snake neatly and got on the pole.
Fan Chengyao smiled, looked him up and down, and saw the desperate and desperate aura in him. Although he didn't know the details of this person, Fan Chengyao liked to use this kind of person.
Because if this kind of person is used well, he will be a very loyal subordinate.
It doesn't matter...he doesn't have to worry, someone will take care of it for him.
Fan Chengyao said pointedly: "Okay, since you are the one brought here by Brother Mingcheng, I will use you first."
When Marin heard this, he was so excited that he was at a loss.
He thanked him repeatedly and thanked Gao Mingcheng again.
Gao Mingcheng smiled bitterly. He understood what Fan Chengyao meant. Fan Chengyao wanted to use this Marin, but still insisted on pulling favors from him.
Fan Licheng was not interested in his father's dismissal of his subordinates, but said to Gao Mingcheng: "Uncle Gao, you went to the clothing factory to purchase goods last time, do you want to go this time too? Take me there, I want to go too." have a look!"
Gao Mingcheng looked at Fan Chengyao.
Fan Chengyao said immediately: "Let's do this. You drive my car and take Licheng there. As for the goods from the clothing factory, let them deliver them to my warehouse, and then I'll pack them for you here."
Now that Fan Chengyao has made arrangements, what else does Gao Mingcheng have to say? Naturally, he drove the latest Santana and took Fan Licheng for a ride!
