Wang Tianxiao observed from the sidelines, and the more he watched, the more he felt that although Liu Jun had questionable character and some despicable methods, he did have his own ideas and was quite capable.
No wonder he was able to suppress everyone at the station after he became the station manager in his previous life, and he held that position for many years.
Relying solely on clever ideas is clearly insufficient to be a good leader.
However, the more Wang Tianxiao thought about Liu Jun, the more he hated him.
Having already suffered oppression in his past life, he is experiencing it again in this one. Wang Tianxiao is no longer the kind-hearted man he once was, while Liu Jun remains the same greedy and treacherous villain.
Let's start today and make him pay for his two lifetimes of despicable behavior.
Wang Tianxiao watched as Liu Jun entered the water and stood in it, with just enough space for his head to stick out of the ice cave.
The tripod was pulled slowly to the cave entrance, then its head was pulled back under the ice cave. The tripod's flashlight shone directly into the cave entrance, and the surrounding ice surface was also illuminated by the flashlight into a pale milky white. If you disregarded what Liu Jun was doing at that moment, it looked like a beautiful painting.
Wang Tianxiao waited quietly.
Two or three minutes after Liu Jun went down, he took out a flashlight from his pocket, picked up the fishing rod standing next to him, and hummed a Qinqiang opera tune as he walked onto the ice.
The Qinqiang opera music came to an abrupt end.
He was very surprised and quickly ran to the cave entrance. Looking down, he exclaimed, "Hey, is anyone down there? Is anyone down there?"
At first, nothing happened.
"Brother Jun, are you down there? You didn't fall, did you?"
When no one responded, he muttered to himself, "The stuff is still there, but I don't see anyone. Brother Jun must have gone to do something else. I'll just stay here and fish for a while."
Wang Tianxiao squatted happily at the entrance of the cave, slowly arranging the items and starting to prepare the ice fishing rod.
After a few splashes in the water, a head emerged. It was Liu Jun, looking embarrassed and with a face turning purple from the cold. He called out helplessly to Wang Tianxiao, "Tianxiao, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
"Ah!" Wang Tianxiao was both surprised and delighted, and asked excitedly, "Brother Jun, didn't you also come to the water to catch fish because you couldn't sleep at night? Me too! You know what, I was living here just fine before, but for some reason, after not sleeping on the kang (heated brick bed) at our station for a while, I suddenly couldn't sleep anymore."
"Brother Jun, isn't it strange? People get like this when they get a certain age. When we were kids, we never got enough sleep. We felt like we could sleep all day if no one was watching us. But now, we can't even sleep when they want us to. It's really unsettling."
"Tianxiao..."
"I was lying on the kang (heated brick bed) tossing and turning, unable to sleep. I was thinking about what to do when I suddenly remembered seeing you fishing here during the day. Then I thought, 'That's right, I can come fishing here,' so here I am."
"Tianxiao..."
"By the way, Brother Jun, I heard that if you shine a flashlight into an ice cave at night in winter, fish will come to the entrance. I thought someone was just teasing me, but it turns out it's true. So, how was your catch?"
Wang Tianxiao became very eloquent and talkative all of a sudden.
Liu Jun couldn't get a word in edgewise.
He tried to interrupt Wang Tianxiao and tell him to move away from the cave entrance so he could come up and catch his breath, but he failed several times.
Normally, Wang Tianxiao's mouth is like it's wrapped in a rag; he can't say more than a few words in a long time.
Now look at her, with that eloquent tongue, who knows how long she'll keep going.
"Ah, I remember now, Brother Jun, you were in the water, right? Check if my jade pendant that I dropped into the water during the day is still there. It shouldn't have been washed away yet, right?"
"I was worried at night, thinking that I'm not a good swimmer, so how could I go down and fish it out? The water was so cold, unless you're someone like Brother Jun who's used to fishing in the water, you probably wouldn't be able to hold on."
While rambling on like a broken record, Wang Tianxiao began preparing his fishing rod.
He stood guard at the cave entrance, and Liu Jun couldn't get up at all.
"Thank you, Brother Jun. Could you go and touch it for me? I'll give you a reward after I get out."
"Tianxiao!"
Having no other option, Liu Jun could only shout.
"Oh, what's wrong?"
"Please move aside, I'm freezing down there. Come up and warm up first."
Wang Tianxiao stared at him curiously, "Is it really cold?"
"Of course it's cold, it's below zero. Why don't you come down and try it?"
"Hehe, I thought Brother Jun wasn't afraid of the cold," Wang Tianxiao laughed. "Look, in the middle of the night, who else would crawl under the ice just to catch a few fish?"
"this……"
"So, stop being modest and hurry up and touch the pendant for me."
"What the hell is it of my business if your pendant falls down? If you want to find it, come down and find it yourself."
Liu Jun felt his legs were a little numb. His long experience in the mountains told him that his body was on the verge of being frostbitten.
Originally, I was planning to finish in two or three minutes and get out of the water immediately, but Wang Tianxiao kept messing around with me, and now I've been in the water for at least seven or eight minutes.
Even through the raincoat, where the water doesn't directly touch the body, the icy temperature still penetrates the entire body like a piercing chill, especially the legs, which feel as if they're about to become numb.
He could no longer feign politeness with Wang Tianxiao and started cursing directly.
"Hey, what's the rush?" Wang Tianxiao looked at him in confusion, seemingly not knowing why he had turned on him. He stood up and looked down at him with a helpless expression, saying, "If you're not going to help me get it, then don't. Why are you getting so angry?"
