Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Li Weidong, who was in Qaidam, put down his rotary phone and went out to see the commune secretary standing beside him with a smile. He walked up to him and said, "Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome. This is all for work." The secretary took the cigarette, lit it, and asked with concern: "Are you the one who sent the rescue team the day before yesterday? Have the people in the mine been rescued?"

Li Weidong smiled in confusion: "I'm not sure, I'm just a driver, responsible for pick-up and drop-off. When Captain Liu comes back, you can ask him."

"Oh, yes, this kind of thing can't be discussed casually." The secretary thought it through and smiled with some regret. Li Weidong did not feel uncomfortable because of the secretary's actions, but was worried that there would be another Jia Fugui, so he acted more cautiously.

The lithium battery mine was reported very quickly. As for the details, they just had to wait for the reply from their superiors. As long as they followed the coordinates provided by Li Weidong, the exploration team would definitely find the lithium battery mine. As for Li Weidong, he was ready to go home, but he did not leave. Instead, he and Hu Guangliang shared a truck and traveled in the wilderness.

Small animals such as foxes, foxes, snow leopards, Tibetan horses and white-lipped deer hiding in the bushes, Jia Fugui's affairs had not been clarified for a long time, and Li Weidong naturally had the 56-type semi-automatic pistol in his hand. A small animal died in a pistol, and the exploration team and the rescue team lived well.

"Liangya Erlang Mountain is thousands of feet high, with dead trees all over the wilderness and huge rocks on the mountain..." Ye Zi's clear and sweet voice awakened a fox, which ran wildly in the red desert like a ball of fire. "Bang!" After a gunshot, Hu Guangliang excitedly released it: "Weidong, you hit a good shot again!"

They quickly ran over, picked up the fox and threw it to the back of the truck. There were foxes, quails and three highland rabbits in the back of the truck, enough for the comrades in the base camp to enjoy. So Li Weidong put away his gun and prepared to return to the car.

In the distance, a convoy of tents, wood and drilling towers, a huge dust storm, passed by. Their eyes were drawn to the convoy. "Is this reinforcement from above?" "That's impossible. Captain Liu just talked to the leader yesterday and said that it was an emergency and no one could be sent. He asked us to protect the exploration team."

The two convoys did not stop after passing the camp, but continued to move forward. When they passed the trucks, Li Weidong clearly saw that their trucks were loaded with tents, wooden houses and drilling towers, and the leading truck was flying a red flag, the eye-catching red color almost dominated the entire desert.

"This is the excavation team!" Ye Zi fainted as she looked at the drilling tower. "Are there any new mines here? We haven't received any information?" Puzzles appeared on her small face. Exploration usually takes several years, and mining cannot be carried out without detection data.

What happened next surprised her even more: a jeep seemed to spot them and suddenly turned around and drove towards the truck. They drove past the truck and stopped. A dignified marketing manager in a black uniform jumped out of the jeep.

He walked up to Li Weidong, raised his right hand and saluted: "Comrade Li Weidong, on behalf of the Ministry of Mining, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

Li Weidong responded with a military salute. He understood in his heart that the coordinates he provided had been used to discover two mines.

Watching the bright red flag disappear into the vast desert, Ye Zi asked doubtfully, "Comrade Weidong, what does the Ministry of Mining want to thank you for?"

"Aha? I just conveyed Professor Sun's words to them." Li Weidong explained what happened in detail.

Ye Zi and Hu Guangliang were immediately very encouraged: "We have discovered a lithium battery mine! After this big test, we have lived up to the expectations of the leaders."

Five days later, Professor Sun woke up and immediately consulted Captain Liu when he learned about the incident.

Just as Li Weidong expected, Professor Sun had forgotten everything that happened before he fell into a coma.

But he did not admit that he had leaked the location of the mine.

For old comrades, any achievements belong to their owners, and they should not snatch the credit that belongs to others.

Li Weidong stood by his statement, while Captain Liu was confused.

This was originally a great achievement and there might be a chance to be received, but why did no one recognize it?

Finally, he decided to temporarily detain Professor Sun and Li Weidong together and report their confessions to his superiors via radio.

Two days later, Captain Liu received instructions from his superiors and talked with Professor Sun and Li Weidong respectively.

The discovery of these two large lithium mines was the result of the joint efforts of all members of the expedition team. Although Li Weidong was not an official member, he played a key role in it. At the same time, due to Professor Sun's weak health, his superiors ordered him to return to Beijing for treatment, along with other comrades trapped in the mines.

Li Weidong was satisfied and relieved by the result. He wanted to ask Jia Fugui about it, but when he saw the look in Captain Liu's eyes, he gave up. Some things might be better left unseen.

Li Weidong was driving a new car, which was better than Meng's car in terms of performance and comfort, so naturally, he was chosen to transport the wounded.

Professor Sun was quickly lifted into the car. Li Weidong did not hesitate and got into the driver's seat, started the car and started driving.

A song came from behind them:

Over the mountains, across the oceans

After going through wind and rain, vicissitudes of life

Dedicate youth and strength to the motherland

Witness the prosperity of the motherland

We have no regrets and wish our motherland prosperity and strength

"Director, the mission has been successfully completed. Please give instructions!"

Seeing Li Weidong's serious expression, Director Yang couldn't help but laugh.

He patted Li Weidong's shoulder gently and said, "You monkey, you only know how to act cute. You have made a great contribution this time. Director Bi has called me personally to praise you. The higher-ups have also known about this. It is said that the old leader mentioned you during the meeting. Weidong, you have to be prepared, because you may never have a leisurely life again."

Hearing the title "Butler", Li Weidong's heart tightened. He knew who the butler was that Director Yang was talking about. Being able to make that person remember his name made him feel that his time travel was not meaningless.

"Director, I will not leave here. The steel mill is my home and I will always be a member of this place."

Director Yang smiled and said, "Hey, you are so bold to say that. Don't show off in front of me. Get out of here!"

"Yes, I will!" Li Weidong immediately resumed his playful and smiling appearance. Appropriately showing one's true nature in front of superiors is very beneficial for future development. People don't like people who are too cunning, but they can't be completely without cunning.

Li Weidong left the factory director's office, shaking his head and whistling, feeling happy. Although he did not receive any additional subsidies, he was praised by Director Bi and even mentioned by the chief steward, which was more valuable than any subsidy.

However, Li Weidong's good mood did not last long, and he soon began to feel annoyed because he realized that he had been away for several days, but he had not explained it to Yu Li properly, and he might need to spend some time explaining it when he returned.

Fortunately, he had been resting well these days and had accumulated a lot of food. As long as Yu Li was well fed and well-drinking, she shouldn't care about anything anymore, right?

"Brother, I'm telling you the truth. I only have about fifty pairs left this time. Not to mention the people outside, even the people in our compound are not enough to share. Now I only have about ten pairs left. If it weren't for you taking care of me since I was a child, I would have sold them to Old Zhang at the front door long ago."

"Fatty, you're really getting better and better at talking. I almost got cheated by you. I want the real thing, but twenty dollars is too expensive. It's enough for an apprentice to earn a month's salary!"

Fatty Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do it for your sake. But we have a deal that the price you pay from me cannot be leaked."

Guo Heipang, who has a similar figure to Fatty Yu but dark skin, said with a smile: "You look down on me too much. I won't say anything nonsense. Go and get the goods!"

Fatty Yu pretended to be distressed and took out a small box from his pocket, which contained the glasses that Li Weidong brought back from Guangzhou.

Fatty Yu remembered that Li Weidong had mentioned the importance of packaging for goods, so he spent money to buy cardboard from the paper mill and used glue to make a small paper box that was just big enough to hold a pair of glasses. With the exquisite packaging, he raised the price by another five yuan.

When it comes to evil-hearted people, it has to be Fatty Yu. Guo Heipang took out glasses from the paper box and put them on. Although there were no mirrors, he felt that he must look very handsome at the moment.

"How is it? Does it fit me well?"

Fatty Yu immediately gave a thumbs up and praised: "As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. This pair of sunglasses in your hands, Brother Guo, is like adding wings to a tiger."

"Of course! All right, I'll take this pair of glasses. Besides, don't you need nine more pairs? I'll take care of them all. If you need more in the future, just come to me!"

"Well, okay, you are my brother after all. But you must not tell anyone the price I gave you."

"Okay, how many times have I told you this? Can you please stop being so long-winded? Give me the things now."

Fatty Yu then took out the remaining cardboard boxes from his coat pocket.

After a careful inspection, Guo Heipang happily handed Yu Pangzi two hundred-yuan bills. For ordinary people, this is half a year's salary, but for Guo Heipang, it is nothing.

Two hundred yuan was nothing to him. As long as he could sell the sunglasses, he would get a considerable profit. Even if he couldn't sell them, he could use the money to smooth over relationships. The dandies in the capital were eager to get this kind of peep show!

After counting the money, Fatty Yu also put it in his pocket. The two exchanged contact information and then left.
