Wu Changfeng was also taken aback when he received the call.
What could possibly happen to the factory?
To put it bluntly, it was arranged through the factory's own work arrangements and regulations.
The team leader is online as long as there are raw materials in the warehouse.
Even without any leaders in the factory, the production line can still operate for a short period of time.
The workers were trained to be like robots.
Just do your job according to the rules and get paid.
Wu Changfeng asked, "Something happened? What happened? Was it a workplace injury?"
There's no way you could get a workplace injury assembling an electric toothbrush.
Unless someone poks at the power strip with their finger during the testing process.
Only a fool would do that.
Huo Jiaqi said dejectedly on the other end of the phone, "There's a whole host of annoying things going on, but the most important thing is that a group of thugs are blocking my way to work and charging me a fee!"
“I called the police during the day and they dispersed, but they came back at night.”
Wu Changfeng frowned: "Charging a toll on the road? On what grounds?"
In this era, charging tolls for obstructing traffic is a common occurrence.
Even in later generations, in the Dongsheng Fugu area, due to the congestion of coal trucks on the national highway, many trucks would take off the highway.
When passing through the village, the villagers will also charge a fee.
It's understandable; the driver gave it to him because he was in a hurry.
Surprisingly, there were five to six toll booths in one village...
Wu Changfeng had walked this road several times in his previous life.
A month ago, villagers wearing tattered coats, with bicycles scattered all over the ground, gathered around a bonfire to collect fees.
A month later, all the villagers had cars!
This shocked Wu Changfeng immensely.
But what puzzled Wu Changfeng was that the road into the factory was only used by workers and did not block anyone's door, so why was there a charge?
Huo Jiaqi stammered and couldn't explain it clearly.
As a highly educated intellectual, he had never dealt with worldly affairs.
Wu Changfeng could only say, "I'll handle it when I get back."
Factory Director Hao entered the room at this moment and insisted on having a drink with Wu Changfeng.
However, Wu Changfeng had no choice but to politely decline, explaining that he indeed had matters to attend to and needed to depart that very night.
All Director Hao had to say was, "If you have the chance to go to Northeast China, you must look me up."
"Don't worry," Wu Changfeng said as he climbed into the car. "I really want to experience a public bathhouse in Northeast China."
"Little brother, you've really got some tricks up your sleeve." Factory Director Hao waved goodbye.
Wu Changfeng set off overnight.
We took a break once along the way and continued north on the dilapidated roads.
Two days later.
Wu Changfeng rushed back to Chishui County as the sun was setting.
After thinking about it, I realized that the factory had already closed for the day, so there was no point in going.
They parked the car directly in front of the county government building.
Gu Yuanming, who had just gotten off work, rushed over and asked in surprise, "You're back so soon?"
"The factory encountered some problems, and we originally wanted to do some research in the window city."
"What's wrong?" Gu Yuanming asked with concern.
Wu Changfeng hesitated and didn't speak. It would make him seem a bit low-class to bother him with such a small matter.
He simply said, "I can handle it myself; I'll come to you if I can't."
Gu Yuanming didn't ask any further questions, and then said, "By the way, how was your trip to the Canton Fair? I didn't dare bother you these past two days, for fear of causing any trouble."
"County Chief Guo was extremely anxious."
Wu Changfeng said with considerable confidence, "More than 20 million! That's nothing."
Gu Yuanming almost fell over, his eyes wide with shock: "So many? Don't lie to me, this is one of the best in the province."
"The provincial level?" Wu Changfeng smiled. "There's no one there who can fight as well as I can."
Gu Yuanming took a deep breath and slammed his hand on the bicycle: "Well done!"
"I'll be laughing in my sleep now."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wu Changfeng walked home.
Wu Changfeng was very excited to see Lin Xiaoru, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
He pounced straight at it.
"Oh my god! You scared me to death!" Lin Xiaoru tidied her hair. "You just got back?"
"We just arrived in the county town and chatted with Director Gu for a while." Wu Changfeng hugged Lin Xiaoru and spun her around.
Lin Xiaoru patted him: "Put me down and change your clothes. You smell awful."
Wu Changfeng changed into dry clothes and said, "The weather in the south is really torturous. The north is much better."
Lin Xiaoru picked up her apron and started cooking, replying, "The South is much more developed than here."
"Oh, right," Lin Xiaoru said while picking vegetables, "My father-in-law came by a few days ago and brought some eggs."
Only then did Wu Changfeng recall his father's image.
He was old, with calloused hands, a simple and honest farmer.
Wu Changfeng used to be so utterly repulsive.
My father also worried a lot.
Wu Changfeng asked, "Is there something wrong with my dad? He usually doesn't bother to see me."
“It’s nothing serious. I just heard you… owe some debts and wanted to ask if you need any money. We have an old ox at home that we can use to pay off the debts.”
Lin Xiaoru continued, "I told my father-in-law that you've been very motivated lately, that you've paid off your debts and even opened a factory."
Wu Changfeng shrugged: "My father definitely won't believe it."
Lin Xiaoru pursed her lips: "I really don't believe it. I even told you to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't do anything reckless again."
Wu Changfeng sighed: "It's better if you don't believe me. All my relatives are the worst kind of people."
“When I was in a bad situation, they even suggested kicking me out of the family tree. It was unbelievable.”
Lin Xiaoru snorted: "You were indeed a bit of a jerk before."
Wu Changfeng chuckled, "I'm a scoundrel now too, why bother cooking? I'll feed you!"
"Eat your fill, you need to eat to have energy. Stop fooling around!"
"I'm full of energy now, and my waist is as strong as iron. If I don't sharpen it, it will rust."
