"What, what did you say?"
After hearing what Deputy Director Sun said, Li Cheng shouted in surprise.
Deputy Factory Director Sun quickly gestured for someone to speak more quietly, then glanced at the people behind the locust tree and continued, "Boss Li, maybe I'm overthinking it, but it can't be such a coincidence that the collapsed house happened to belong to Gao Shulin and that family. Do you think there's something going on here?"
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng looked at him with disdain, and then said, "Gao Shulin is still lying in the hospital. Tell me, if this isn't a coincidence, what else could it be? I'm telling you, this is a coincidence. No matter who asks, it's a coincidence. Do you understand?"
Deputy Director Sun had been a leader for many years, so how could he not understand what Li Cheng was saying? He nodded repeatedly and said, "I see, it's just a coincidence. They didn't block the drain when it rained, so the rainwater flowed back in and collapsed the wall, which is normal."
Li Cheng remained silent, thinking to himself, "You're right. In the past, when it rained here, every household would block the gutters under the courtyard walls to prevent the rain from entering the yard."
You might ask, if the gutter is blocked, wouldn't the rainwater in the yard be blocked from wading out? Indeed, it is blocked, and the people living here have to use dustpans to scoop it out.
So, every time it rains heavily, the area becomes very busy. Busy plugging the gutters, busy scooping water out. Normally, it's fine; domestic wastewater can flow out of the gutters and into the sewers. But when it rains heavily, drainage becomes difficult, and the first thing every household does is plug the gutters to prevent rainwater from backing up.
You say that with such living conditions, Li Cheng wanted to improve them, but there were people who strongly opposed it. Of course, Li Cheng never indulged such so-called smart people.
Since you have the ability to transfer, you shouldn't enjoy the current treatment at the tape recorder factory. If you leave, just leave, and take a female worker with you. You are a married man, why are you seducing a young girl?
Just thinking about it made me feel that this person was not a good person. Therefore, Li Cheng would rather give the same treatment to those people who were not from the tape recorder factory than to this so-called smart person.
Now, this man’s house has also collapsed, along with Gao Shulin’s house. Li Cheng felt that this was God’s will and that this man deserved his bad luck.
"Hey, what's going on over there?" Deputy Director Sun suddenly said, looking at the gate of the dormitory area.
Li Cheng quickly turned his head and saw a large bus coming in------
After a while, the bus arrived at the big locust tree. The door opened and a man wearing a red raincoat and red rain boots got out.
Seeing Li Cheng, the man shouted, "Li Cheng, you asked me to find a car to pick someone up. How about this car? Is it enough?"
Li Cheng looked at her and said with a smile: "Sister Meng, you are really powerful. Where did you find such a big guy?"
Meng Jianghong waved for people to get on the bus while saying, "Where can I find a bus in the middle of the night? Then I found a friend of mine, oh, the one driving now. She said the bus company had a bus, and here it is!"
Li Cheng walked over to the driver's seat and looked up to see a woman in her thirties sitting there. Seeing Li Cheng approaching, she opened the window, stuck her head out, and said with a smile, "Is this Mr. Li? Seeing is believing. He's quite handsome!"
Li Cheng blushed instantly and said quickly, "Thank you! I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the night."
The woman waved her hand and said, "Why thank me? I was going to test drive the car anyway, so I'll just treat it as a test drive."
It turned out that after the bus service was over, the bus had to be repaired overnight. The woman worked at the repair shop, and when Meng Jianghong contacted her, she drove the bus she had just repaired to help.
Li Cheng thanked her profusely and quickly helped people evacuate. Meanwhile, Han Daya's training car and the taxi Lao Yue had found returned, and more people boarded and left.
Li Cheng looked at these people busy in the heavy rain, and couldn't help but say in his heart: When people are united, they can move mountains.
By the time he was done, it was already past four in the morning. Li Cheng looked at the still drizzling sky and thought that the money he had earned from selling the tape recorder was now wasted.
Li Cheng had people sell tape recorders at the village fair, bringing in over 100,000 yuan. This time, they needed to pay for taxis, lodging, and food, and Li Cheng decided to use the proceeds from the tape recorder sales to cover these expenses.
Li Cheng called Deputy Factory Director Sun over and gave him a few more instructions, asking him to take people to keep an eye on the place and to keep a close eye on the door so that nothing gets lost.
Deputy Director Sun assured Li Cheng that he could take care of it.
Li Cheng knew that after daybreak, the relevant city authorities would definitely come to investigate the house collapse. He didn't want to argue with them any further, so he told Deputy Director Sun that when the relevant city authorities arrived, he would tell them the truth about the cause of the house collapse.
Deputy Director Sun was no fool; he knew how to tell the truth. So he assured Li Cheng that he would get some relief money from the city no matter what.
Li Cheng smiled and thought that Deputy Director Sun was familiar with the situation here and had been the deputy director for many years, so it would be most appropriate to let him handle these things.
After everything was arranged, Li Cheng took another look at the place and got into Han Daya's training car with Meng Jianghong.
When those people were transferred, Han Dayuzi drove a car himself. Now he is very skilled at driving and sometimes works part-time as a coach.
"Should I take you home?" asked Han Dayuzi.
Li Cheng turned his head to look at Meng Jianghong who was sitting in the back seat and said, "Aren't you hungry?"
After a night of tossing and turning, who wouldn’t be hungry? Li Cheng said again: “Let’s go to the guesthouse of the machinery factory. Lao Sun said that the breakfast there is good. Let’s go and try it.”
Upon hearing this, the other two laughed. Han Dayuzi said, "You want to go see the people living in the guesthouse?"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "The people living over there are the elderly, the weak, women and children. Let's go and see them. I'm a little worried."
Han Da Yazi smiled, started the car and drove outside...
Han Dayazi was so familiar with the route that he had forgotten how many times he had run back and forth from the guesthouse to the tape recorder factory dormitory that night.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the guesthouse. Li Cheng got off the car and hurried inside...
After Han Dayuzi and Meng Jianghong got off the car, Han Dayuzi pointed at Li Cheng's back and said, "See? Our little brother has a kind heart and a simple nature!"
Meng Jianghong laughed when she heard this and said, "Don't mess with him! If you mess with him, he's not afraid of anyone."
Han Dayuzi muttered, "Why would I mess with him? I worship him as the God of Wealth now! Didn't you see his picture hanging on the wall of the driving school?"
Meng Jianghong smiled and thought to herself, so this is why you hung Li Cheng's photo there!
After thinking about it, Meng Jianghong took off her raincoat and put it in the car, then walked towards the guesthouse...
