Chapter 320: The Bully in the Team

The state-owned restaurant was filled with employees, staff from nearby units who were there for a bite to eat, and even a few of their colleagues. It was not a good place to talk.

They changed the subject and talked quietly about their engagement tomorrow.

Fang Yuan had just returned from a business trip, so he had two days off. He planned to take his children to the supply and marketing cooperative in the afternoon to buy some things for the engagement tomorrow. He didn't know much, so he consulted several sisters-in-law in the team in the morning and asked a friend to find out what was needed for the engagement in the compound.

After dinner, they went to the small park again. Fang Yuan sat on a stone bench and said what happened just now with a serious look: "The competition in the transport team is very fierce, because the tasks we take are short-distance or long-distance transportation, so we often encounter some gangs blocking the road.

You have to leave some of your goods behind, or pay a certain amount of tolls, otherwise your tires might be punctured, your goods might be stolen, or you might be beaten half to death.”

An Zhixia was a little shocked when she heard this. "Didn't they say that the public security is good, doors are open and people don't pick up things on the road?"

He smiled and couldn't help but ruffle her hair: "No matter what the world is, there will always be bad people who want to get something for nothing, otherwise the police station can be disbanded. The gangs blocking the road may be villagers or criminals. People in the team don't want to get involved, so they usually choose to pay some tolls. This is also the default amount when the higher-ups allocate travel expenses."

An Zhixia understood and said, "It's just like when a bodyguard in ancient times encountered robbers. You are a big escort agency, and the other party doesn't want to confront you head-on, so they thought of a compromise method of charging a toll?"

"Yes," Fang Yuan nodded, and said helplessly, "Our country's current technological level is not high, transportation is backward, and there are farmlands everywhere. It is impossible to catch all such things. And sometimes the whole village is mobilized, men, women, young and old, the number is more than the comrades in the police station, how can we control it?"

She is also worried, "National development is not a matter of one or two days, or even one or two years. The ignorance of the people and their lack of correct values have, to a certain extent, slowed down the pace of development."

Xiahua Country is developing rapidly, but it is still fifty years away from the era she traveled through. The ups and downs in between make the time seem long.

"Aren't you doing very well now?" Seeing that there was no one around, Fang Yuan held her hand and smiled softly, "The whole country knows that the TV station has started recruiting people. The improvement of the spiritual level will bring about the demand for materials, which will affect the economic development of the whole country. Even the demand will promote the improvement of science and technology. Have you heard of the butterfly effect?

You will be the most beautiful and dazzling butterfly. We just need to do our best, and the rest is for the leaders to worry about and regulate. We still have our own little life to live, right, wife?"

An Zhixia wrinkled her nose at him, pulled back her hand and hummed: "Since I have single-handedly promoted the country's economic, technological and cultural development, what about you?"

"Your wife is so outstanding, as your man, I naturally cannot lag behind too much," Fang Yuan said with a smile, "You open up the spiritual path for the people of Xiahua, and I will open up the path under my feet. If transportation is developed, the people's lives will be more convenient in the future, which will naturally bring about earth-shaking changes!"

An Zhixia nodded in agreement: "Many places developed because of convenient transportation, which attracted many industries to settle down. Workers and their families needed to make a living, so the life chain was established and developed accordingly."

"Yes, but unlike culture and entertainment, the real economy is not constrained by many objective conditions. Its development is gradual. If it develops too quickly, it will have irreversible and destructive effects." He narrowed his eyes slightly. "The opportunity for a leap forward will be at least five or six years later. Maybe because of you, a little butterfly, it will come earlier?"

An Zhixia asked what happened to those people. "You have only been working for a few days, how did you offend them? They seem to be the bullies in the company."

Fang Yuan's face was a little cold, and he patiently explained to her: "I have said before that no matter long-distance or short-distance transportation, there are all kinds of dangers. Therefore, those who can become team leaders, squadron leaders and team leaders must not only have strong skills, connections, and smooth dealings, but also be able to mix well in the underworld.

Captain Guan was the squadron leader of the second brigade, his wife was the director of the material department of the transport team, and he was sworn brothers with several underworld brothers, so he could act arrogantly wherever he went. He led a group of people to secretly collect protection fees in the team, and almost took away all the performance bonuses of everyone.

I came here by air and attracted their attention within two days. The protection fee I collected was 10% more than others. If this kind of thing is weak from the beginning, they will definitely intensify it in the future.

So I not only did not agree to the extra 10%, I also stopped paying the protection fee, and that led to my journey north."

An Zhixia was filled with anger when she heard this, her pink cheeks puffed up slightly, "Did they control the transport team?" Think about the many children in the tube building, the burden is almost all on the shoulders of the men. Captain Guan and his group used the money for their own enjoyment, but put countless families in dire straits, and even affected the future of many children.

Fang Yuan poked her cheek and said with a smile, "Isn't this me? Don't worry, if you don't like this kind of atmosphere, neither do I. The emergence of 'roadblocks' has greatly inhibited the development of long-distance transportation. Sooner or later, a major rectification will be carried out, but the atmosphere in the transportation team must be changed first."

She nodded vigorously: "Why should we give up what we have worked so hard for? However, if you touch someone else's cheese, will you be retaliated against with greater force? Are the children safe at home by themselves? Why not send them to my grandmother's house?"

"They don't dare to act recklessly in the team. There will be no problem as long as we are not left alone," Fang Yuan comforted, without saying anything more.

The two chatted for a while and then it was time to go to work. An Zhixia first went to the studio and walked from the first floor to the sixth floor. Although the rectification has not officially started yet, other channels have undergone considerable changes under the influence of the overseas channel team. At the very least, the programs are carefully selected and recorded, and each episode strives to have one to two or three highlights. The purpose is also to try to be closer to the national collective, either to help people establish correct outlooks on life, life and aesthetics, or to allow the audience to learn knowledge while being entertained.

As the quality of the program improved, the ratings naturally rose.

She gave everyone some chicken soup, and then returned to the office to start issuing recruitment test papers. In An Zhixia's opinion, no matter what industry you are in, if you don't have a solid cultural foundation, your starting point, jumping ability, and sprinting power will be greatly limited.
