"Salary? Look, if it's a salary, you only get paid if you work. Why should I pay you if you don't work?
We only receive subsidies when we work, and we don't have a fixed salary.
Including your identity as a railway police officer, it can only provide you with some conveniences and you don't get any salary.
The country does not support idle people. If you want to get paid, get to work.
I have explained everything that needs to be explained to you, and it is time for me to leave.
By the way, you will be directly responsible to me from now on. I will have Director Liu contact you if there is anything."
After the old Taoist finished speaking, he left Zhang Xudong, who was sitting there in a mess, and walked out of the meeting room with his three followers.
"Wow, you really let the horse that pulls the cart and runs errands find grass to eat on its own!
How poor will this investigation be? This old Taoist is so cunning! "
Zhang Xudong looked at the old Taoist's disappearing figure and felt a little regretful. He just didn't know if he could get off this pirate ship.
After Zhang Xudong met the old Taoist priest, he returned to his daily life of learning foreign languages and playing with dogs.
Anyway, there is no salary to be earned, so we have reason to complain about not working hard.
Zhang Xudong is not in a hurry to find something to do, but often when you don't look for things, things will find you.
That night, as soon as Zhang Xudong entered the space, He Jingxian said anxiously:
"Brother Dong, something happened to my brother. I'm going to the southwest to see him."
"Jing'er, don't worry. What's going on? Only after you explain it clearly can we know what to do."
Seeing that He Jingxian was so anxious that she was about to cry, Zhang Xudong hurriedly asked.
"My brother was injured, and his leader called to ask someone from home to come over.
My parents can’t take a long vacation, so I have to go over and see them first.”
"Did the telegram say what kind of injuries your brother suffered?" Zhang Xudong asked.
"No, there were only a few words in the telegram, nothing more.
I bought a train ticket to Beidu for tomorrow. I think I’ll be there in two days.”
"Don't panic. The more you panic, the more chaos you'll experience. Find a deserted place to enter the space tomorrow."
"I'll take you out here. Doesn't that save us over 3,000 miles and a few days of travel?" Zhang Xudong arranged for He Jingxian.
"Yeah, I forgot about it when I was in a hurry."
He Jingxian said in surprise. But then she said worriedly:
"Even if we take the train from here to Tibet, it will probably take at least 70 or 80 days to get there."
Zhang Xudong thought for a while and said, "Let's borrow a car tomorrow. If we can take the train, we'll take it. If we can't take the train, we'll drive the car. If the car can't be driven, we'll just put it away and run on foot."
We can go straight across the mountains and hills without taking any detours.
Go open the map and draw the route. As long as we don't get the wrong direction, we should be able to get there in four or five days."
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, He Jingxian asked in surprise: "Brother Dong, do you want to go with me?"
"What you said is so fresh! How can I be at ease letting you run thousands of miles alone?
Your parents let you go because they knew we would stay with you after we found out about this. They've calculated everything!" Zhang Xudong said with a pout.
He Jingxian didn't care that Zhang Xudong was teasing her parents anymore, and said anxiously:
"Then you have to go early tomorrow to get a letter of introduction, and you also have to explain everything to grandma and settle the family down.
Be sure to bring enough winter clothes. I heard it's even colder there than in Northeast China.
Can you borrow a car? Or should I bring the farm car out?"
"Can you drive? And what's your reason for driving out? Are you planning to drive to the southwest?
Forget it, you don't have to worry about it, just take care of yourself and leave the rest to me."
Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian discussed it for the whole night, and finally left the space when the sky was about to brighten.
Zhang Xudong took advantage of the fact that there was no one outside early in the morning and ran to the woods outside the city and collected a large pile of firewood into the space.
After I got home, I put it in the firewood shed. I saw that it was enough for the family to use for half a year, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
While having breakfast, Zhang Xudong told his grandmother about his trip to the southwest.
Grandma repeatedly told him to take good care of He Jingxian, but she didn't give him any instructions.
Zhang Xudong was so depressed that he didn't know what to do. Whose grandmother was this?
After dinner, Zhang Xudong ran to the Public Security Bureau to find Director Liu.
Director Liu should have a general idea of my background, so there is no need to trouble others.
After much persuasion, Zhang Xudong not only agreed to Director Liu's request to take a closer look at the blue book, but also paid for the car rental and gas.
Then he drove a GAZ truck and carried a barrel of gasoline out of the Public Security Bureau.
This GAZ car looked older than Zhang Xudong. But the products made by the big brother were tough and durable. It ran smoothly and hummed.
Zhang Xudong returned home first, leaving enough food for his family. He said goodbye to his grandmother and sister, and then set off with his butt smoking.
As he was driving, he didn't notice the little fox lying on the roof, waving its paws and imitating his previous behavior, also saying goodbye to his grandmother and little sister.
Zhang Xudong checked the space and didn't see He Jingxian. He didn't care and drove south to catch up.
After driving for more than an hour, Zhang Xudong arrived at the junction of the two counties.
Although it was almost noon, Zhang Xudong didn't want to stay here.
The border area between these two regions is often a no-man's land, sparsely populated and very chaotic.
Zhang Xudong was afraid that someone would waste his time, so he wanted to pass through this place in one go before taking a rest.
As the saying goes, "What you fear will come true." Just as Zhang Xudong had this thought, he saw a tree as thick as a bowl lying across the road ahead.
Okay, I can’t be afraid of wasting time anymore, I’m being blind.
Zhang Xudong parked the car but didn't turn it off. It was so cold, and if the car froze, he'd have to rely on his own two feet to get on.
Just as Zhang Xudong parked the car, two people jumped out of the woods.
One of them was a little older, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine, holding an old socket in his hand.
The other one was younger, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, holding a hatchet in his right hand, and following the older one tremblingly.
The two of them didn't look like those vicious robbers, but more like those honest young men in the village.
"You, get out of the car. If you behave, we won't hurt you."
The older man, holding the old sleeve, stammered and shouted towards the cab.
Zhang Xudong watched the man carefully holding the old barrel, the muzzle of the gun tilted so that it was almost pointing to the sky.
This is so fucking unprofessional, a debut? Zhang Xudong was immediately amused.
Zhang Xudong smiled, but he still opened the car door and jumped to the ground. He didn't want to waste time, and he had to continue on his way after solving the problem.
