256 Did You Meet Bandits?
Xiao Lu drove over, and Su Taotao gestured for him to take Dong Shengping to Lao Gao's car, while she drove in front to lead the way.
In fact, Xiao Lu also knew the way, but he never questioned Sister Su's arrangement, and obediently took Dong Shengping to get into Lao Gao's car.
There were two other people in Lao Gao's car, one was his assistant and the other was a professional surveyor.
Lao Gao looked at Su Taotao in surprise as she got into the driver's seat and asked, "Director Su can drive?"
Xiao Lu said proudly, "Of course, our sister Su knows everything."
Lao Gao was full of admiration: "I never thought you could drive a car."
He has been on the road for decades and occasionally encounters female drivers, but they are very rare.
Su Taotao is the youngest.
Xiao Lu thought, who could have thought of that? I didn't even mention that she could repair cars, and her driving skills are top-notch too.
Su Taotao poked her head out of the factory and said, "Lao Gao, follow me. I'll take you through a shortcut."
Lao Gao smiled and replied, "Okay."
Su Taotao drove steadily on the road, followed closely by Lao Gao.
He didn't dare to follow too closely at first, for fear that she was a novice on the road and might brake suddenly.
Unexpectedly, Su Taotao bloomed very steadily and moved forward at a steady pace.
"Your Director Su drives the car really well, he doesn't look like a novice." Lao Gao couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Lu nodded: "Sister Su's family are all smart and are great at everything they do."
On this point, Lao Gao, who admired Mr. Fu very much, agreed.
…
Just as Su Taotao said, it only took more than 20 minutes to reach the new factory site from the factory.
"Lao Gao, the plan for this place is not just for the factory, but also for employee dormitories, leisure and entertainment venues, supply and marketing cooperatives, etc., so the project is quite large. Let's measure the area today.
The factory and dormitories are needed most urgently, and the others can be built later."
Lao Gao's assistant recorded every word Su Taotao said.
Lao Gao said, "The construction team is currently working on other projects. When do you plan to start construction here?"
Su Taotao said: "After the survey, we submit the drawings and plans for expedited approval. I estimate that it will take at least a month at the earliest."
Lao Gao calculated and said, "There are two more projects ahead of you. One month is enough."
Su Taotao nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and make the drawings as soon as possible."
"Director Su, you and Engineer Fu are both all-rounders. You know everything." Lao Gao still remembers his last drawings. He was truly professional.
"Our Master Fu is indeed an all-rounder. I am not. I only know a little bit and rely on him." Su Taotao said modestly.
Lao Gao is a practical man and not good at flattering others. After expressing his ideas, he goes to work.
Su Taotao pointed at the top of the mountain and said to Dong Shengping:
"Look at this coconut grove. Engineer Fu said that we should build a conveyor belt here so that the coconuts can roll down directly from it. We can also put a gate or something so that the coconuts can be shelled as they roll down. This will save a lot of transportation costs and labor for breaking the coconuts."
Dong Shengping looked at the terrain, imagined the scene, nodded and said, "Master Fu's method is indeed very good."
"Let's go up and take a look. Xiao Lu will go tell Lao Gao." Su Taotao said.
Xiao Lu: "Okay."
Su Taotao and Dong Shengping walked along the top of the mountain and found the path leading up the mountain.
This coconut grove is artificially planted and there are people managing the mountain. When I reached the intersection, I was stopped by a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat, with dark skin, a thin figure, and a particularly shrewd look:
"Who are you? Outsiders are not allowed in here."
Xiao Lu came back just in time and showed the man his ID and documents:
"We want to build a factory here. Here are our documents. Here is the approval document. Please take a look."
"Build a factory? We haven't received any notice." The man was skeptical and took the document to take a look.
"Why would we lie to you when we can find out the truth by just making a phone call?
There is nothing here except coconuts. Even if we come to steal coconuts, we can't take many away, right?" Xiao Lu said half-jokingly.
After reading the ID and documents, the man still shook his head and said, "You can't go up."
"How can we get up there?" Su Taotao asked.
The man said, "It will take our leader's consent."
"Who is your leader? Ask him to come out." Xiao Lu said.
The man said, "Our heads are not here."
Xiao Lu added: "Let's find the person. We can't just stay away from going up until we can't find him, right?
The government has approved the construction of a factory here, and these coconut groves will be under the management of the factory in the future.
Okay, I can’t explain it to you clearly, so you should just go and call your boss over.”
The man's eyes flickered, but he still shook his head: "Our boss is not here today, you should come back another day."
"Which day is that?" Su Taotao asked.
The man still shook his head: "I don't know either. We are so erratic that I can't tell when we will come and go. I can't contact him either."
Xiao Lu was angry: "You!"
Su Taotao stopped Xiao Lu and glanced at the guard with a gleam in his eyes: "What if I insist on going up?"
The road guard said: "Are you planning to bully the minority by forcing your way in?"
"Breaking through?" Su Taotao took the document from Xiao Lu's hand and said, "You can read and you can see the contents clearly. It's you who intends to deny it.
This coconut grove is public property. You won’t think it’s your own private land after looking at it for too long, right?”
The road guard said calmly: "Don't speak nonsense and slander me. I am just a road guard. I will do whatever my superiors tell me to do.
Today, unless you kill me and walk over my dead body, I will not let strangers in."
Su Taotao winked, and Dong Shengping attacked the road guard: "I'm sorry."
The guard flashed past swiftly, suddenly pulled out a whistle from his pocket and blew it hard -
A long, piercing roar echoed throughout the coconut grove.
The little birds hiding in the coconut grove to cool off were frightened and flew out in a flutter, flapping their wings.
At the same time, footsteps were heard in the coconut grove, as well as a rustling sound caused by clothes rubbing against grass and trees.
Soon, a group of people wearing black Mao suits and grey homespun pants appeared in a neat line on the path...
Su Taotao and the other two looked at each other. What was going on?
Did you encounter bandits?
