Chapter 175 Enough Temptation
After hearing what An Xin said, Cui Yusong saw that the little girl An Xin brought over was wearing a floral shirt, a pair of khaki pants, and a pair of cloth shoes. Her eyes were shy and evasive, and she was obviously a little girl from the countryside.
Cui Yusong didn't ask too much, and didn't even ask An Xin who the person she brought was. Just say it to Anxin.
"Now that we're here, let's get down to business."
As for who An Xin brought here? He really didn't want to know. She was just a little country girl and not worth his exploration.
Anxin nodded in agreement, pulled Dongmei up with one hand and walked inside.
"Come on, let's go in first!"
The three of them entered the warehouse, where eight trucks were neatly arranged. Dongmei looked at the trucks one by one, and cast a curious look in Anxin's direction, but did not ask much, just followed Anxin quietly.
Ever since Anxin got married, she hasn't been active in the village much, and has had less interactions with Dongmei. So Dongmei doesn't understand why Anxin brought her here.
But Dongmei is a sensible girl. She doesn't ask questions when she doesn't understand something. Instead, she stands quietly beside Anxin, waiting for Anxin to do things. She believes in the friendship between the two of them since childhood, and Anxin will naturally tell her what he wants her to know.
Cui Yusong walked forward with broad steps, his hands and fingers running across the front of the eight cars one by one, and said casually.
"Well... the cars are all here. Let's go up and check them. If there are no problems, then this matter will be settled."
After receiving Cui Yusong's instructions, An Xin didn't hesitate to open the car and got in. All the car keys were inserted in the truck. An Xin didn't say much. After getting in the car, he started the car directly. After making sure that every car could be started on the spot, he jumped out of the last car and said to Cui Yusong.
"Yes, I started all the cars. In principle, there is no problem."
As long as these trucks can start, it means that the problem of water entering the engine is not very serious. It seems that things are much simpler than she thought.
After receiving An Xin's affirmative answer, Cui Yusong spread his hands and said.
"Then I'll leave these cars to you. I can finally report to the old man."
This business of selling at a loss or getting a clearance sale is really hard to describe.
An Xin didn't waste any time. She took out a big bag from her backpack and threw it into Cui Yusong's hand.
"Okay, the payment is all here, just check it and take it back to your father!"
After paying the money and receiving the goods, and after giving the payment to Cui Yusong, all eight cars were his.
Cui Yusong took the bag that An Xin threw to him, put it directly into his pocket, and said casually.
"Okay, it's just a small amount of money, I don't trust you!"
The money from selling these eight trucks is not a big deal for the Cui family. As for the quality of Anxin, if it is not good, can the old man lend the money from his personal account to Anxin?
Therefore, Cui Yusong was not worried at all. Was the payment he gave him for the goods less than An Xin's? Instead, you don’t even have to count the money, you just believe it and feel at ease.
An Xin: “…”
An Xin's mouth twitched, thinking to herself, you really trust me, you didn't even count such a large sum of money. But then she changed her mind and realized that the Cui family was a wealthy and powerful family, they had seen all kinds of storms, it was natural for Cui Yusong not to count the money she gave. Fortunately, she had counted the money twice, and not a penny was missing.
At this time, Cui Yusong had already put the money in the bag into his pocket, zipped it up, and waved to An Xin.
"Okay, I'll leave the car to you. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he didn't care what Anxin's reaction was? As he was about to walk out, An Xin suddenly remembered something and said to Cui Yusong.
"Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."
Cui Yusong stopped, looked back with a puzzled look on his face, and then asked An Xin with a look of sudden enlightenment.
"What else? You don't want me to help you drive all these cars to the designated location, do you?"
If that were the case, he wouldn't do it. Trucks these days are not easier to drive than cars. If he drove all these trucks to the designated location, he might get into a lot of trouble.
"go!"
An Xin sneered, this guy was obviously overthinking it, so she spoke directly.
"What are you thinking about? With your noble figure, how can I dare to let you drive a truck for me? I can't afford the commission. I want to discuss with you. I will only take one truck today, and the rest of the trucks will be parked in your warehouse. When I find a suitable place to park these trucks, I will drive them away, okay?"
You made an appointment with Kaizi today to get a truck over to show Master Xie whether he could modify or repair the engine that had been flooded. The rest of the trucks would naturally have to be parked in the warehouse. She would have to wait until she found a suitable parking spot and then move them there.
There are eight trucks. Just imagine that they need to find a bigger parking lot to park them.
Cui Yusong obviously didn't expect that what An Xin wanted to say was that this matter was of no use and he waved his hand.
"Hey, I thought you wanted me to help you with something. As for parking, it's not a problem at all. This warehouse is under my father's name. You can park these cars here as long as you want."
The warehouse has been idle anyway, and Mr. Cui hasn't put anything into the warehouse in the past two years, so it might as well give this favor to Anxin.
After getting the answer she wanted, An Xin didn't waste any time and said to Cui Yusong.
"Okay, I get it. Go ahead and get busy. I'll invite you for tea when I have time."
Cui Yusong is still a staff member of the provincial government. He can't just sit here and chat with her all day.
Cui Yusong stretched out his finger, pointed in the direction of An Xin, and said with an ambiguous look on his face.
"You said so. Please treat me to tea when you have time."
An Xin agreed with a smile.
"Of course, I'll have to urge the young master to show his favor when the time comes!"
Only after Cui Yusong's figure disappeared at the door of the warehouse did Dongmei step forward with a nervous look on her face and said anxiously.
"Don't worry, you bought all these cars."
When the two were talking just now, Dongmei stood beside them and listened to the conversation. She roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter.
Dongmei, who had guessed the truth, was completely confused at the moment. Anxin grew up with her in the same village, and they got along very well. She didn't expect that after just a short period of not seeing each other, Anxin would be so courageous that she bought so many cars at once. Such distance and change made Dongmei feel uneasy.
Seeing the uneasy look on Dongmei's face, Anxin thought about it and did not deny it. She just nodded and admitted it.
"Yes, I borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from the bank to buy these cars all at once. I plan to use them to build a fleet. I will make money from these cars in the future."
No matter what happens in the future, An Xin does not want to deceive this childhood friend who grew up with her. What's more, Dongmei is now at a crossroads in her life. She shares her life plan with Dongmei, hoping that the little girl can benefit from it.
Thinking of this, An Xin continued to explain.
"By the way, I don't want anyone else to know about this. You have to keep it a secret for me for now."
An Xin's words made Dongmei stunned on the spot. It took her a long time to come back to her senses and she spoke timidly.
"What? You borrowed more than 100,000 yuan from the bank to build a fleet? Oh my God, how can you be so bold?"
As for the confidentiality, Dongmei naturally ignored it, because she would never talk about the things between her sister and Anxin. The two grew up together and maintained a tacit understanding.
What she cares more about now is the loan of more than 100,000 yuan that An Xin mentioned. More than 100,000 yuan? What does it mean to a rural girl? Dongmei knew better than anyone that it was an astronomical figure that was out of their reach, and the money was only used to buy trucks. What would they do with the trucks after buying them? Dongmei said she had no idea at all.
Dongmei's reaction was completely within Anxin's expectations. She spoke slowly, her voice calm but firm, as if she was telling someone else's story.
"Yes, I plan to set up a fleet of cars and transport goods for people in the provincial capital. After earning the freight, I will use the money to repay the loan. If I keep working hard, the money will be repaid, the car will be mine, and my life will gradually get better in the future."
Compared to Anxin's calmness, Dongmei felt like she was about to get angry. She almost pulled Anxin's hand and asked anxiously.
"But how do you know you can make money? That's a loan of more than 100,000 yuan."
Now that I have bought the car, where can I get the goods? Besides, can Anxin drive?
Dongmei felt that she was in a state of fantasy. Compared with the life she had experienced in the past ten years, everything she experienced today with Anxin was like a roller coaster, which overturned her perception of Anxin and her imagination of the freight industry.
An Xin, however, spoke to Dong Mei in a soothing tone.
"Dongmei, as long as we have a truck, we can find the source of goods ourselves. You don't have to worry about that."
Dongmei, who was comforted, obviously still disagreed with Anxin's opinion and asked in return.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, can you drive a truck?"
"Yes, I can. Do you remember when we were little, we often went out to the mountains with the tractor drivers in the village? At that time, I noticed how those tractor drivers drove their tractors. In my spare time, I even drove a tractor myself. The structure of this truck is not much different from that of a tractor."
Dongmei: “…”
Dongmei was speechless. She also grew up in the village and had also ridden in the village tractor drivers. Why wasn't she as smart as Anxin and learned how to drive a tractor in private?
I have to say that Dongmei is really naive. She has never doubted any of the doubts in Anxin's words. Even when Anxin forced the connection between driving a tractor and driving a truck, she never considered whether there were loopholes or doubts in Anxin's words. Perhaps, this is what is called a good friend, with unconditional trust.
Seeing Dongmei was unusually silent, Anxin changed the topic to her.
"By the way, let's talk about you first. This morning I asked you what plans you had for your future life. Have you thought about it?"
Dongmei obviously didn't expect Anxin to turn the topic to herself so quickly. After a moment of silence, she slowly responded.
"I haven't thought about this yet."
An Xin looked at Dong Mei calmly and thought for a moment before speaking out what was in his mind.
"Dongmei, since you haven't made up your mind, how about this? You can see that I bought so many trucks at once, so I definitely need people to drive them for me. In a few days, I will send a group of people to other places to train truck drivers. I want to send you with me. When you come back after training, you can work with me. I will never treat you unfairly."
Having said that, An Xin saw a trace of uneasiness flash across Dong Mei's face, and Zi Se continued to add.
"Of course, if one day you find a better way out, I won't force you to stay and be a truck driver. I will definitely not stop you from taking off. But if you don't have a better choice right now, I think being a truck driver is pretty good."
The two grew up together, and naturally did a lot of things like chopping wood in the mountains, working in the fields, and fishing in the river. Girls who grew up in the countryside have very good physical fitness. An Xin believes that Dongmei has no problem being a truck driver.
Furthermore, given Dongmei's family conditions, if Dongmei does not become a truck driver but instead goes out to work, she may not be able to earn enough money for the wedding gift for her eldest brother even after working for three to five years. If she follows her, You can take care of her from time to time and can also give her some preferential treatment in terms of salary.
Dongmei did not say anything about Anxin's suggestion, but remained silent for a long time before she spoke hesitantly.
"This? Can I do this?"
The two grew up together. Anxin's brain is indeed smarter than Dongmei's. Dongmei herself admits this. Judging from the fact that Anxin learned to drive a tractor in the village and can drive a truck today, she is indeed not as good as Anxin.
She just had no confidence in herself and was afraid that she wouldn't even be able to learn how to drive a truck.
Compared to Dongmei's timidity, Anxin seemed very calm from beginning to end. She put her hand on Dongmei's shoulder and spoke earnestly.
"Dongmei, why don't you try? How do you know you can't drive a truck? If you don't try, how do you know what path you will take in the future?"
As long as we walk out of the mountains and the countryside, have ideas, take steps, and work hard, we will make progress.
Dongmei raised her head and looked at her good friend with sad eyes.
"Do you think I could learn to drive a truck?"
Facing the gaze of her good friend, An Xin thought that the chicken soup for the soul was enough and the timing was just right. Another bowl would allow Dongmei to take the first step bravely, so she said without hesitation.
"Of course you can. It's just driving a truck, right? As long as you study hard, there's nothing you can't do. Dongmei, I'm optimistic about you. When you come back, you can pick one of the trucks in this row and drive it yourself. Isn't this tempting enough?"
After receiving Anxin's encouragement and praise, Dongmei nodded solemnly and said to Anxin.
"Well, since you say I can do it, I'll go and try to be a truck driver."
