Fan Xiaofan squatted by the roadside counting ants; she counted so many that she couldn't even remember how many there were.
Moreover, my legs are a bit numb, and I can't stand up.
I grimaced as I prepared to stretch my legs.
A hesitant girl's voice suddenly rang out from above: "Is that Comrade Fan Xiaofan?"
Fan Xiaofan looked up.
She knew that the person who was to pick her up had arrived.
Although his legs were numb, he couldn't lose face. Taking advantage of a moment when he looked up, he composed himself with a grimacing expression and adopted a cool and aloof demeanor: "So what if it is?"
She now regrets squatting down; she has to look up at others and has no presence at all.
But now I want to stand up, but I can't, sob sob sob.
A hint of disdain flashed in Wu Li's eyes. Oh, so this is a questioning of her. She was indeed a little late, but so what?
However, it wasn't appropriate to offend someone so directly, so he forced a smile and said, "Oh dear, I was going to pick you up a long time ago, but something came up and I was sent to deliver an important document, which is why I'm late. You're very understanding."
It must be said that Wu Li's words were indeed quite skillful. If Fan Xiaofan were really just a country bumpkin from a small town, he would have been fooled by her and would have felt sorry for being unreasonable.
She was on her way to handle some important business, so what's wrong with taking a little longer to pick her up?
The refrigeration plant didn't really know much about Fan Xiaofan's situation. They only knew that a young educated youth from Qingcheng had somehow gotten a letter of introduction from their unit and even had someone specially come to the train station to pick her up.
The refrigeration plant in Beidu is different from the small-scale textile factory in Qingcheng. It is a state-owned unit, located in Beidu, a place that is like a gold mine. It is a prestigious job, and those who can get in are capable in both hardware and software aspects, so they naturally have high aspirations.
In Wu Li's eyes, Fan Xiaofan was just a country bumpkin dressed in a rustic way. How could someone like that be allowed to visit their refrigeration factory? She didn't even know if Fan Xiaofan could recite the periodic table.
Fan Xiaofan's legs finally recovered, and she suddenly stood up, almost knocking Wu Li off balance.
She chuckled for a moment, then immediately realized that her gloating was inappropriate. She quickly composed herself, adopting a haughty demeanor: "Oh, you are a magnanimous person. I am just a woman and do not understand."
Holding grudges is definitely a must.
She casually raised her wrist, glanced at the watch that had been hidden by her sleeve, and thought, "Tsk tsk, I'm a full two hours late..."
Wu Li also noticed the watch on her wrist, paused for a moment, and then thought, what's so special about it? It's just a watch. Some people say they spend all their money on this one respectable item, but they dress in a dowdy way. They probably just used all their money to pretend to be rich.
Fan Xiaofan didn't care what Wu Li was thinking at the moment. She came to Beidu because of the refrigerator. Although it was something that couldn't be said openly, Secretary Wang had said that he had arranged someone to take charge of the matter for her in private.
She said calmly, "Please wait a moment while I make a phone call."
In those days, public telephones were almost nonexistent, only found at train stations or some important institutions. Fan Xiaofan's plan was to borrow a telephone from the train station.
Before Wu Li could react, Fan Xiaofan's figure had already disappeared in front of her.
I stomped my foot, ready to chase after him, but unfortunately, there were people coming and going, and soon I couldn't see him anymore.
After looking at the letter of introduction in Fan Xiaofan's hand, the people at the train station lent her the office phone.
