Chapter 138 Hurry, catch up with him
It was noon at this time, and most drivers were eating and resting.
Tian Xin was about to go out when her cell phone suddenly rang. It was a text message.
[How's it going? Are you done? I'm at the gate of your factory!]
Why is Lin Zhou here?
She quickly replied, "Not yet, waiting for a driver!"
【Don't worry, take your time, I'll wait for you! 】
She was about to reply when the outsourced driver appeared at the window. She had seen this man at tea that day, so she recognized him at a glance.
But the driver obviously didn't recognize her and asked, "Are you new here?"
"Um!"
"Where's Zhang Feng?"
"He's out!"
"Oh, what about Li Meng and Zhang Ni?"
"Oh, Zhang Ni asked for leave, and Li Meng just went out too!"
"Are they all gone?" The driver seemed embarrassed and kept looking into the weighing room for a long time.
"I'm here, aren't I?" Tian Xin smiled at him, quickly recorded the weighing data, and held out her hand: "Ticket!"
"Huh?" The driver looked at her alertly: "What?"
"I said ticket, give it to me quickly!" She stretched out her hand again.
"I don't have it, you haven't opened it to me yet!" The driver spread his hands.
"Okay, Zhang Feng told me everything when he left. Hurry up, or someone will see us!" She looked out the window with pretended vigilance.
"What did he tell you?"
"Hurry up, don't waste time! Someone will be here soon!"
The yard was bustling with people, many carrying bowls as they headed towards the dormitories. The driver, perhaps afraid of being seen, quickly pulled out a ticket and handed it in.
Tian Xin glanced at the ticket stub, memorized the date, crossed it out and changed it to today's date, then handed it over again: "Drive slower!"
The driver took the ticket, looked at her again, smiled, and drove away!
As soon as he left, Tian Xin immediately wrote down the data and date she had just seen on a piece of paper, closed the door of the weighing room and ran out quickly.
Lin Zhou's car was parked in an open space in front of the factory gate. She saw it as soon as she went out and quickly ran over to get in the car.
"What's wrong with you..." Lin Zhou saw that she was running out of breath and was about to ask when he was interrupted.
"Don't talk, hurry up and follow the truck in front!"
Seeing her anxious, Lin Zhou was stunned for a second, then drove out quickly to chase her.
The speed of the Mercedes-Benz is indeed incredible, even on mountain roads, it runs quite fast. Lin Zhou was worried that Tian Xin would be scared, so he reminded her to sit still.
"I'm not afraid. Drive faster and catch up with him before he passes the meter station!"
"Is it an outsourced car?" Lin Zhou asked.
"Yes, I just looked at his previous ticket. He definitely didn't go to the cement factory we supply with this ticket."
Tian Xin took out the copied receipts and statistical tables and looked at them again: "These people are too bold. Five vehicles, they actually reused old receipts to deceive the public."
Lin Zhou hesitated for a moment and said calmly, "There must be someone backing them up. There's something wrong with the upper management of your factory!"
It wasn't like Tian Xin hadn't suspected this, but the section chiefs at the top rarely showed up, and aside from Liu Shengli, the others were cold and distant. It was hard to say who she suspected.
"I've thought about this, but Li Baiwan doesn't allow me to get too close to these people. Now many people in the factory are relatives or friends of these leaders. If we investigate, none of them will be clean!"
"Who is Zhang Feng usually close to?"
"Who is he close to?" Tian Xin thought for a moment: "I haven't noticed that! I don't go there often, and he's basically always in the weighing room. I haven't seen him get particularly close to anyone! Besides, he's a..."
She thought back to what happened at the factory gate that day and frowned: "Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore!"
Lin Zhou stopped talking halfway through, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay!" Tian Xin breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in her chair, and stared at the car in front.
The car quickly arrived at the weighing station. Since the car didn't need to be weighed, Lin Zhou parked it on the side of the road and waited for the truck to leave before following it.
"Is this the one?" Lin Zhou asked.
There was only one truck in front, and the license plate number was the one Tian Xin saw last.
"It's him! Don't follow him too closely. He's quite alert. He was very cautious when I asked him for the ticket just now."
Lin Zhou slowed down and turned to look at her: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing!" Tian Xin looked down at herself.
"Did anything happen this morning?"
"No!" She leaned her head against the backrest and turned to look at Lin Zhou's profile. The man had a stern expression, sharp features, and was gentle when he smiled, but calm when he didn't.
Every time she was with him, her heart would calm down and she would no longer be so impetuous.
Lin Zhou did not ask any more questions, his eyes were fixed on the truck in front. When he reached the county town, the truck turned and went into an alley.
Entering this alley, there is an industrial park with several factories of various sizes.
Lin Zhou followed slowly and saw the truck pull into a cement factory. The factory looked newly built, with new cement floors and few trucks entering or leaving.
Tian Xin watched the truck enter the cement factory and took out her camera to take a picture. Once the truck was inside, she asked Lin Zhou to stop the car and get out to investigate.
Who knew that Lin Zhou drove the car directly into the yard and parked it in a parking space nearby.
"Wait here, I'll go in and take a look!" She took off her bag and got out of the car with her camera.
Lin Zhou got out of the car right after her. She was so hurried forward that she didn't notice him catching up with her.
"Don't be in a hurry!" Lin Zhou chased after her and said.
"Why are you following me? Didn't I tell you to wait?" she said as she walked, her eyes fixed on the direction the truck was heading in.
"Don't worry!" Lin Zhouyi grabbed her and said, "Even if he leaves, it doesn't matter. There's no need to follow him!"
"No need to follow?" Tian Xin was immediately confused: "What do you mean?"
"Just follow me later, don't worry about anything else! Now..." He paused and looked at Tian Xin's back.
"What's wrong?" She turned her head and glanced behind her: "Is there something on my back?"
Lin Zhou said nothing, walked over and patted her back gently: "Your clothes... are dirty!"
"Clothes?" She turned around and took another look: "Oh, maybe I didn't pay attention when I was busy this morning, and it got rubbed somewhere! It's okay, I can do it myself!" She reached out her hands in panic and patted her back a few times.
"Don't move!" Lin Zhou said in a deep voice, his voice full of doting: "Why are you always so flustered?"
He gently brushed the dust off her clothes, then looked up at her hair and said with a smile, "It's a little messy!"
"Ah? What's... messed up?" She looked panicked.
"hair!"
Her hair was indeed very messy. She didn't tie it into a ponytail today, but just let it down. After a morning of tossing and turning, her short hair that reached her ears was completely let down!
"Uh..." She was extremely embarrassed. She quickly reached out and tucked the loose hair behind her ears. She raised her head and asked him, "Are you done?"
Lin Zhou didn't respond, but reached over and helped her straighten it out: "Okay!"
"Oh!" She turned around quickly, her face slightly hot.
"Let's go!" Lin Zhou stretched out his hand, took her arm and went directly to the office area of the cement factory.
"What are you doing here?"
As they approached the office area, Tian Xin couldn't help but ask him, "Do you know anyone here?"
"Yes!" Lin Zhou replied, "I know him, and I'd like to... introduce him to you!"
"Oh!" Tian Xin saw that he was serious and didn't ask any more questions.
The two of them walked along the office area and went straight to the factory director's office!
