Jiang Tang was very angry. He stepped on the accelerator, turned the car, and drove out of the gate steadily. "Team Leader Chen, do you believe it now?"
"I believe it." He pointed in a direction and said, "Go that way."
"What's your name, little comrade?"
"Ginger candy, ginger brown sugar."
"Your name is well chosen. It sounds like you are blessed. Where did you learn to drive at such a young age?"
"Rong District."
Captain Chen, who had been somewhat nonchalant just now, sat up straight when he heard her say: "Are you a soldier?"
"No, I'm a secretary of a commune in Xinliangjiangzhou."
"From the provincial capital? Then why are you applying for a job here?"
"I'm asking on behalf of my cousin. Since you're not hiring, I'm driving the car back."
"No, turn right at the next intersection. The cotton mill is a short distance away. Come with me to haul some goods."
"Ah, you're treating me like free labor?"
"Although our team is not recruiting externally, it doesn't mean we don't have any internal staff."
Jiang Tang took the opportunity to glance at him, wondering how reliable this man's words were.
Team leader Chen said, "We have five vehicles that run long distances, and recently one of the guys who was following us injured his leg."
Jiang Tang immediately understood what he meant and said with a bitter face: "Team Leader Chen, what a pity, my cousin doesn't have money to buy a job?"
"We only require proficiency in driving. We're hiring internally, so there's an exam. The time is next Tuesday morning. If your cousin is interested, he can come over."
"Very good."
"Drive well, can you help me load the truck today, little comrade?"
"Yes, Captain Chen, you are absolutely capable."
Captain Chen noticed that the young woman had excellent driving skills. She wasn't at all shy about driving such a large truck. She said she was helping with the loading, but in reality, she was just checking the contents.
As Jiang Tang worked on the loading, he became a close friend of the warehouse's older brother. Through him, he was able to get a lot of scraps of fabric. It was enough to make a pair of pants or a shirt. Jiang Tang bought several pieces for five yuan each. Team Leader Chen also bought two pieces, spending three yuan. Three yuan is enough to make a whole set of clothes.
When they came out, Team Leader Chen gave her a thumbs-up and said, "Comrade Jiang, I've noticed you're quite capable. With just a few words, you got Lao Niu to sell you so much cloth. You heard him say they were scraps, but they were actually good cloth. They were deliberately cut into pieces to be sold as scraps."
"Is that so?" Jiang Tang touched her chin proudly while driving. She felt that she was lucky.
"Team Leader Chen, does our team have any idle trucks? Can I rent one?"
"Pay to rent it?" There had never been such a case before. "What do you need a truck for? If you're transporting goods, you can just pay and wait in line."
"I want to teach my cousin how to drive."
Team leader Chen, who had just taken a sip of water, spat it out with a "Puff" sound. "Ahem, can your cousin drive?"
"ah."
"You must be kidding. Your cousin doesn't need to come on Tuesday."
"No, Team Leader Chen, I guarantee that by the time Tuesday comes, my cousin will definitely be a veteran."
"The masters in the team also have apprentices, and they have been driving with them for half a year. Do you think your cousin can surpass them in a few days?"
"There's a week from today to Tuesday. During this week, I guarantee that my cousin will be no worse than the masters' apprentices in terms of driving and transporting goods. Or does Team Leader Chen have an apprentice?"
"I don't usually drive a sports car, and I don't have any apprentices."
"Why don't you take me in as an apprentice?" Jiang Tang said, pulling over to the side of the road and pulling out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket. "Team Leader Chen, if there's a spare car, or if you need to transport goods around the city these days, can I bring my cousin along? Or you can just assign it to me."
After saying that, he hurriedly took out his letter of introduction from his pocket and said, "This is my letter of introduction."
Team leader Chen looked at her file: "Team cadre, commune collective liaison officer."
"Yes, yes, here's our commune's phone number. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask. I can also leave you my letter of introduction. Also, my cousin is the son of Director Cheng of our state-owned teahouse."
"Hey, it's Cheng Suozi."
"Do you know him?"
Team Leader Chen laughed. "I don't know him, but he's a famous locksmith in our city. He's always on the job, not on personal relationships. Could he have asked you to come?"
"No, alas, I came here to buy tea, but unfortunately, he didn't give me a chance."
"Haha, if he was so easy to talk to, he wouldn't be called Cheng Suozi."
Jiang Tang simply told the truth to Team Leader Chen.
He told the whole story.
After listening to this, Team Leader Chen showed a playful smile on his face, "So, you want to help his son so that he will compromise and serve your tea? Haha, I bet you will definitely get nothing." The tone was a bit sarcastic, as if he was watching a farce that was doomed to fail.
"What if I succeed?" Jiang Tang was unwilling to give in, with a stubborn look in his eyes.
"It's done, haha. If you can do it, it will definitely become a big fun thing in our Shenzhou. It's been ten years, and it will set a precedent. In the future, I can give you priority in your tea transportation work." Team leader Chen laughed so hard that he fell over, as if he thought this was a fairy tale.
"Deal, Team Leader Chen?" Jiang Tang's eyes lit up and she seized the opportunity. Since there was a promise, there was hope.
