"Comrade Li, you must have heard that our driver position is highly sought after. Besides the high salary, there's also a lot of extra income."
"For example, supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores are not secrets in the transportation team. As long as they are not kept in the open, it is fine. I wonder what Comrade Li thinks about this?"
Li Baichuan didn't expect Master Lu to tell him about this so quickly; the people of the border town had already told him about it.
He came to the transportation department for this very reason, and he originally planned to talk to Master Lu about it after the New Year.
When he went to the family quarters last time, he saw how they were dealing with the backlog of goods, and that gave him an idea.
However, it has to be done step by step. He plans to go to the supply and marketing cooperative after the New Year and then discuss it. It seems that Master Lu had already planned this.
Or perhaps this is something he used to do, and now that he has a new partner, he definitely needs to discuss it with him.
"Master Lu, I'll listen to you." Li Baichuan knew that Master Lu brought this up so quickly because he wanted to make more money.
"Comrade Li, in our transport team, everyone makes money through their own abilities. Whenever I go to the supply and marketing cooperative or the department store, if there are any damaged goods, we will keep them."
"Of course we pay for it, but the price is much cheaper, and we can handle these goods ourselves."
“We have one vehicle now, so if there’s any cargo in the future, can we split it in half?” Master Lu didn’t hide anything from Li Baichuan.
It's not that he's particularly generous, but rather that he feels people might not even care about these things.
Besides, the goods sold by the supply and marketing cooperative weren't involved in any speculation or profiteering. Even if someone reported it, he still bought them with his own money.
It's just a broken product, and it was a bit cheap. Nobody can really say anything about it. As for what's wrong with it and how they dealt with it, only insiders know.
"Okay, Master Lu, I won't lie to you. I came to the transportation department because I heard there's a lot of money to be made there. Like you, I'm married, my wife is pregnant, and I have a small family to support."
"You know I'm from the countryside. I can't do anything except use my strength. I just want to earn more money and support my family with my own skills."
What Li Baichuan said was also what he really felt. Although he didn't intend to follow Master Lu or steal his path, he still needed to make his position clear.
"That's good, Comrade Li. Our transport team pays well and offers good benefits. You'll definitely be able to support your family."
Master Lu didn't expect that Li Baichuan also had the same problem of supporting his family. Thinking about it, it makes sense. He must have been very uncomfortable when he first came to Beijing.
Considering his family background, Master Lu figured he must be quite uncomfortable. Thinking of this, Master Lu felt much more at ease with the man.
After saying what he wanted to say, Master Lu felt much more at ease. Everything was going smoothly, except that Li Baichuan drove as slowly as a snail, so he had no complaints.
Master Lu figured he'd finished delivering the goods and had nothing else to do at home, so he left him alone and just let him practice driving.
It was almost four o'clock when the two returned to the transportation department. Li Baichuan had been driving the whole way, while Master Lu had been sleeping all the time.
He wasn't afraid of getting into trouble at all. Li Baichuan was almost as fast as a bicycle, and he was even more cautious and valued his life even more than him.
When they arrived at the transport team, several drivers ran over.
"Brother Chuan, why are you only coming back now? Did something happen on the way?" Biancheng had been worried sick all day.
He thought that Brother Chuan and the others would be back by noon, but he didn't see them after lunch.
Even the director has come to check on him several times. Biancheng is worried that something might happen to his brother Chuan on his first time driving on the road.
"It snowed, so the roads were slippery and difficult to drive on, which caused a delay." Li Baichuan looked at the person who was about to cry, thought for a moment, and then offered a word of comfort.
Master Lu, standing to the side, didn't say anything. Yes, it was all because of the snow.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Biancheng nodded when he heard his brother Chuan's words. It was indeed difficult to drive in the snow.
He completely forgot that the roads were slippery and difficult to drive on after the snowfall and the ice formed. But it was snowing right now, so it didn't really affect the roads much.
Biancheng was simply used to listening to Li Baichuan, and he never realized that anything he said was wrong.
As soon as Li Baichuan returned to Biancheng, it was as if he had found his pillar of support. People kept circling around him and following behind him to clean the car.
They chattered on and on, and Li Baichuan occasionally replied, but he didn't seem impatient.
Yu Qingfeng observed carefully from the side and saw that Biancheng kept circling around Li Baichuan. Just as others had said, it was he who had pestered Li Baichuan relentlessly.
Yu Qingfeng roughly knew what to do. So this is what Li Baichuan likes?
“Brother Chuan, let me tell you, after you left today, that guy surnamed Yu kept talking to me, but I ignored him, and he acted like he couldn’t understand me.”
"I got annoyed later, so I told him not to follow me. Then that little punk pretended to be wronged, as if I had bullied him."
"It almost disgusted me to death. A grown man, acting so pitiful, just like the girls who used to have a crush on me. Even when I didn't like them, they would still give me the same look."
"Brother Chuan, do you think this guy might actually have something wrong with him? Could he be interested in me? What should I do?"
Biancheng surrounded Li Baichuan and told him everything Yu Qingfeng had said to him that day, word for word.
Brother Chuan said this person had a problem, and now it seems that the problem is serious.
Li Baichuan: "..."
"You're overthinking it." Li Baichuan looked up at Biancheng, then glanced at where Yu Qingfeng was.
Their eyes met. Yu Qingfeng hadn't expected him to look over, so he quickly put on a flattering smile, which startled Li Baichuan.
"Brother Chuan, what do you think he's planning to do?" Biancheng was still feeling uneasy.
"He's trying to curry favor with you." Li Baichuan pointed out the problem incisively. He wasn't blind during this time; he had seen Yu Qingfeng's behavior all along.
No one is truly without temper, unless they have ulterior motives. In just a few days, the people in the transport team have become enemies with him.
However, as far as Li Baichuan is concerned, unless he continues to be so humble, if he changes his attitude in the future, those people will still have a falling out with him.
How can a person pretend forever? If you put yourself in such a humble position from the beginning, you can forget about standing up later.
"Huh?" Biancheng nodded thoughtfully when he heard what his brother Chuan said. No wonder, that makes sense now.
There are plenty of people who fawn over him, but none as disgusting as him.
"Brother Chuan, why isn't he trying to curry favor with you? No, I still think he's plotting something. I need to get some of my brothers to scare him tonight."
Biancheng felt something was wrong. Everyone in the transport team knew Brother Chuan. If anyone was going to curry favor, it should be Brother Chuan.
