"Is your detachment so stingy? They only give you such a small amount of money?" Liu Shuyuan looked at the car rented by Bai Song with disdain.
"Is this still broken?" Bai Song scratched his head. "This is much better than the last one. This is the 2010 Wuling Hongguang. This car is only three years old, so it is considered very new. Moreover, this is the high-end version with a displacement of 1.4L and a horsepower of 102!"
"Yeah, you should be content." Wang Huadong patted Liu Shuyuan on the shoulder: "Last time, Bai Song rented an antique Wuling Zhiguang. That car is almost as old as me."
Hearing Wang Huadong say this, Liu Shuyuan gave up the idea of complaining. In fact, he didn't really dislike it. Sometimes he could accept staying in dirty and messy places for many days while performing tasks. It's just that he really hasn't ridden in a van for many years... Oh, no, it's an MPV.
…
It still takes some time to get from here to Nanxi Village. Everyone was in a good mood along the way, carrying large and small bags, and it felt like a self-driving tour.
This car can seat seven people, and it is quite spacious for six people. However, with three rows of seats, there is not much storage space. In order to make it more like a trip, Bai Song also bought five or six boxes of water and some food, so that it looks quite decent.
"Is it so enjoyable to be on a business trip?" Ren Xu looked around while chewing a sausage in his mouth.
"I don't know whether it's enjoyable to be on a business trip, but I know that if you keep eating like this, our snacks will soon be gone." Wang Liang looked at Ren Xu expressionlessly. He had been with Ren Xu for quite some time, and this was the first time he felt that Ren Xu was such a big eater!
"Ah? Didn't Team White say that if we eat more, it would make us look more like we are traveling?" Ren Xu then opened a bag of potato chips.
"You're not eating in the car! Who are you eating for? You've eaten away all the makeup on your lips..." Wang Huadong stroked his forehead and wanted to touch up Ren Xu's makeup, but gave up when he thought that he might continue eating.
Let’s talk about it after we get off the car.
…
Bai Song was driving the car and felt like laughing. Newbies are so happy...
Except for Ren Xu, everyone seemed to be somewhat nervous.
Bai Song and everyone else basically encountered trouble during their business trips. Even with the cooperation of the local police, there were still twists and turns. Everyone took this time very seriously.
Ignorance is bliss. It was Ren Xu’s first business trip, and everything seemed new to him, and his appetite was extremely good.
Tianhua City is extremely hot at this time, with temperatures above 35 or 36 degrees every day. Nanqian Province is a plateau area, a summer resort, and there is no need to turn on the air conditioner. In this climate, Ren Xu's appetite has improved...
The city where the airport is located is quite far from the destination. At noon, the car arrived at Nanxi Village.
Although they were well prepared, the four people who had been there before were still a little shocked when they saw the current appearance of Nanxi Village.
…
Once upon a time, there was a very remote place where many villagers planted some banned plants on the mountain. It was very difficult for the police to catch them. Whenever there was any movement, the villagers ran away very fast. So the government came up with a solution and spent a huge amount of money to build a road.
After the construction of the highway, this place is no longer a "remote" place. Police officers were sent here, the village also has the Internet, and the reporting channels are very diverse and covert. After a few people were arrested, no one planted crops illegally anymore.
The same is true in Nanxi Village. After the fraud base was destroyed, the gambling culture has not changed at all. Especially after two consecutive murders, the local police are under great pressure.
In order to demolish this building and suppress the rampant gambling here, the county government widened the road here and prepared to turn it into a major commercial area.
There are many industrial bases around here, and the foundation is not bad at all. Moreover, the reason why so many gamblers can be attracted is not because of farmers, but more because of some migrant workers, so the consumption base is also good.
In just a year and a half, several commercial districts sprang up, a police station was set up, and the original shantytown casinos disappeared.
If it weren’t for the navigation, Bai Song would have thought he had come to the wrong place!
…
Only Bai Song and Sun Jie went to look for Wang Antai, while the other four wandered around the village to see if there was anything else.
The car stopped at an old hotel, and Bai Song and the other man walked to the place where the car was repaired.
When I saw Wang Antai again, he had changed a lot.
Wang Antai can be considered as Sun Jie's enlightenment teacher in cross-country running. It was here that Sun Jie fell in love with the sport of cross-country running.
Cross-country racing is not about conquering every blade of grass and tree in nature, but about conquering oneself. When you have overcome many difficulties and conquered some cowardice and weaknesses deep in your heart through cross-country racing, you will have greater courage and ability to gain inner peace and career success.
Wang Antai was like this in the past, but now he seems to have lost his former temperament.
The Haval off-road vehicle is still there, and the modified front and rear axles, shock absorbers, and winches are still glorious, but they don’t have the same fierceness as before. Sun Jie can easily see the specific needs of each modification from the car parked at the door of the repair shop, but Sun Jie understands that this car will no longer have a soul that can conquer the wild.
The moment he saw the car, Sun Jie knew that Wang Antai really had a lot on his mind.
In just less than two years, Wang Antai's eye sockets sank by one or two millimeters, dark circles around his eyes became apparent, and his cheekbones protruded a little, making him look seven or eight years older than his actual age.
The moment he saw Sun Jie and Bai Song, Wang Antai was confused for a moment, then his pupils slowly dilated and he recognized them.
Today's disguise was very light, and Bai Song was exceptionally tall, but Wang Antai still recognized him slowly. Then he seemed to mutter something, but in the end, no words came out.
"Don't just stand there, let's find a room to talk." Before Bai Song met Wang Antai, he had already made sure that there were no eyes around.
Wang Antai was stunned for a while, then looked around and turned into the repair shop.
There is no major change in the store. If anything, it is that Wang Antai has become the store manager.
Today is Sunday. There are two cars being repaired in the shop. Several mechanics are busy working. No one noticed who the manager brought in. The three of them just sat in Wang Antai's office.
Although it was called an office, it was only about six or seven square meters. Various black gloves and screwdrivers were placed casually on the ground. Wang Antai found two chairs nearby, picked up a rag that was barely gray, wiped it, and placed it in front of the two men. Then he took out two bottles of mineral water from under his chair and handed them to the two men.
"We came here specifically to see you," Bai Song set the tone with one sentence.
After hearing this, Wang Antai shuddered for a moment, and said with a forced smile, "Two leaders, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person."
