Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Qin Huairu returned home in a very bad mood. Having failed once again, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that He Yushui might know something, and her attitude towards her was obviously different from before.

Chapter 85 Sign-in: Spider-Man's Dangerous Sixth Sense

The next morning, around seven o'clock.

Wang Lin woke up on the soft bed, and the first thing he did upon opening his eyes was to sign in.

"Master, signing in."

[Ding dong! Congratulations, host, you have completed your check-in and have received: Fitter Level 8 Card x1, Junior Engineer Certificate (with assessment certificate) x1, Spider-Man Danger Sense Sixth Sense x1, and Great Unity x10.]

The sign-in rewards are somewhat nice, but they also feel a bit underwhelming.

What's the point of having an 8th-level fitter's card? To work as a fitter in a factory?

The junior engineer certificate is quite interesting. Does it mean Wang Lin is going to be given an engineer title at the factory so he can earn an extra salary by studying the future generation?

Spider-Man's sixth sense, or danger perception, is quite useful. As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." What if someone is secretly plotting against him? This is definitely a passive, god-like skill.

As for the "Great Unity" (a large sum of money), it can only be piled up in the warehouse collecting dust; we don't need that money right now.

Wang Lin took a bubble bath, and only after changing his clothes and packing his food supplies did he leave his high-tech room.

Fang Yue had already woken up with the two mythical beasts.

Fang Yue is washing the faces of the two mythical beasts.

"Pot pot."

As soon as the two mythical beasts saw Wang Lin, they ran over and hugged his legs on either side.

Wang Lin reached out and pinched the two chubby little faces of the mythical beasts, instructing them, "Be good at home and listen to Sister Xiaoyue. Your brother is going on a long trip for a few days. I'll make you something delicious when I get back."

Wang Baobao and Wang Beibei nodded, and they obediently let go of Wang Lin's legs.

Wang Lin left Fang Yue some food and drinks, and then asked her, "Xiao Yue, please take care of them these next few days."

Fang Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Lin, as long as we don't go to the front yard, no one will dare to bully us."

Wang Lin nodded. Fang Yue was right. As long as they didn't go to the front yard, they wouldn't be a target. But he was afraid that the beasts in the front yard would be envious of his prosperous life. He still had to take precautions. After the New Year, he would find a way to get the deaf old lady's house and completely control the small yard.

Around 7:30, Chen Amao came to the door with a basin.

After patting Chen Amao on the shoulder and giving him some instructions, Wang Lin left the backyard on his bicycle, carrying a snakeskin bag on his back.

During the morning rush hour, Wang Lin didn't appreciate the scenery along the way; he pedaled hard to the factory gate.

There are four large trucks parked at the factory gate right now. In order to have a prosperous New Year, the factory leaders have decided to buy more meat!

Wang Lin didn't care; there wasn't much difference between two vehicles and four vehicles, since he had plenty of supplies anyway.

The security personnel were already fully prepared and waiting beside the truck.

Wang Lin recognized four of them: Zhou Guohua, Zhao Li, and others, who were the truck drivers from the previous incident.

"Hey, everyone's here."

Li Tang's hair was meticulously combed today, and he even styled it specially, showing that he pays great attention to his image.

"Your hairstyle today..." Wang Lin felt that the side part didn't suit Li Tang; it looked a bit strange, or rather, somewhat comical.

"Team Leader Wang."

Li Tang believed that his hairstyle had been styled well today, and he was definitely the most handsome guy on the group.

Wang Lin pointed at Li Tang's new hairstyle and asked, "Li Tang, did you do your own hair or did someone else do it for you?"

Li Tang replied proudly, "Looks good, right? Looks cool, right? This is something I heard from others and figured out myself."

Wang Lin really wanted to laugh, but he held back so as not to discourage Li Tang.

Tang Tang rode her bicycle to the factory gate. The first thing she saw when she saw Li Tang's new hairstyle was that she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. "Li Tang, what kind of hairstyle is this?! It's hilarious!"

"Is my new hairstyle really that funny?" Li Tang scratched his head awkwardly, his face flushed. Before leaving, he had specifically asked his childhood friend from the neighborhood, and the kid kept praising him. He thought it really looked good, but now, seeing Tang Tang's smile, he realized that the kid had done it on purpose, just wanting him to embarrass himself in front of his goddess.

“It’s not funny!” Wang Lin patted Li Tang on the shoulder and said solemnly, “It’s just that some trends are ahead of their time and it’s normal that they are not understood for the time being.”

Wang Lin is right. This hairstyle would be very common in another era, but this is the 60s!

"I regret it." Li Tang said with a bitter face. He touched his hair and wanted to wash it, but it seemed that there was no time.

Tang Tang pushed her bicycle to the factory, locked it, and came back. She reached out and touched Li Tang's new hairstyle, giggling nonstop. In a playful mood, she kept teasing Li Tang, making him feel embarrassed and regretful. He should have known better than to act so pretentious.

"Team Leader Wang, you and I are here."

Zhang Long and Zhang Hu arrived late, riding a bicycle.

Wang Lin nodded and said, "Lock up the bicycles, let's get ready and set off."

Soon, the group was assigned to four trucks.

Wang Lin was still in the same car as his old partner, while Tang Tang and Li Tang were in the same car. This was a deliberate arrangement by Wang Lin, and Li Tang was so moved that she almost knelt down and kowtowed to Wang Lin.

Tang Tang was quite casual. She was in the same car as Li Tang, but not in the passenger seat. Instead, she was in the back of the truck, since there wasn't enough room for four people in the front.

To take care of Tang Tang, the only female comrade, Wang Lin specially gave Li Tang a handful of candy and a bag of melon seeds, so that he could please Tang Tang on the way.

It must be said that Wang Lin was very well prepared. Li Tang silently remembered the favor and would never refuse to help Wang Lin in the future.

Liu Zhengdao, Factory Director Yang, Deputy Factory Director Li, and others personally saw them off at the factory gate.

"Let's go." Wang Lin gave the order, opened the car door, and got in.

Four trucks slowly started and left the third steel rolling mill.

As Director Yang watched the four trucks leave, imagining them carrying back four truckloads of supplies, a smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

Li Huaide was equally pleased. Being able to give the factory workers a good New Year was a good achievement and would be of great help when he took over the factory in the future.

Not long after the four trucks left, a transport truck silently followed behind them.

Yang Mingyuan, in the passenger seat, had been keeping an eye on the vicinity of the Third Steel Rolling Mill for a long time. As soon as he saw the trucks leaving the mill, he would ask his distant cousin to drive and follow.

The driver was Yang Zhi, whose family was well-off. There wasn't much work available lately, and Yang Mingyuan was willing to pay, so he invited two of his cronies to do the job together.

Yang Mingyuan, smoking a Xiangshan cigarette in the passenger seat, stared at the four trucks in front of him and muttered, "Four trucks, that's quite a lot!"

Yang Zhi, with one hand on the steering wheel, asked while smoking, "Brother! This guy from your factory is pretty impressive. Four trucks, how much supplies will he bring back? He'll have a really good year with all that kickbacks."

It's an open secret that purchasing agents take kickbacks; everyone knows it but no one talks about it openly. But since there were no outsiders around, Yang Zhi started making fun of it.

Yang Mingyuan rolled down the car window, flicked his cigarette ash, and said, "He's a guy with some connections, but definitely not as strong as those guys from the military compound."

Yang Zhi also knew a few friends from military compounds. He murmured, "My friend said that the name Wang Lin sounded familiar, like he had heard it somewhere before."

Yang Mingyuan didn't take it to heart and said indifferently, "Who cares? As long as we follow behind and find the town, I'll intercept it and then hire you to haul supplies."

"Then we'll be counting on you." Of course, Yang Zhi also had his own ulterior motives. His purpose in helping Yang Mingyuan was not just to make money. As a transporter, he naturally wanted as many routes as possible.

"Don't worry, I'm a seasoned purchasing agent. He's not someone new who can figure out the intricacies of this business." Yang Mingyuan was quite confident in himself.

The car was not traveling fast on the mountain road.

Four trucks travel over mountains and valleys, and after a while, the drivers are changed.

After walking and stopping frequently, Zhao Li led everyone to rest in the same open space as before after dark.

The four cars were parked close together as people gathered firewood to start a fire and cook.

There were quite a few people this time, so we could only cook something to eat over a fire.

Wang Lin took out instant noodles from the snakeskin bag and offered to cook for everyone.

Instant noodles, this novel food, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

A large pot of noodles, everyone can get more after finishing their meal, the main feature is the large portion that will fill you up.

With instant noodles, Wang Lin also became close with the other people who accompanied him. A cigarette and a sip of wine brought them closer together.

Sitting around the fire, Zhou Guohua found Wang Lin and told him the information he had discovered: "There's been a transport truck following us the whole time."

Wang Lin could easily guess who the tail was, and he said indifferently, "Don't worry about it, let it follow if it wants to."

"Aren't you worried?" Zhou Guohua was surprised that Wang Lin was so magnanimous. Although he was not in the purchasing department, he had heard about the competition for supplies among the purchasing department colleagues. For the sake of profit, such things often happened, and even brothers would turn against each other.

"What are you worried about?" Wang Lin asked with a smile.

Zhou Guohua shook his head and said, "I don't understand the intrigue and backstabbing. You know what's going on. I'm just giving you a heads-up."

Wang Lin patted Zhou Guohua on the shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, this car can't possibly follow us all the way."

Zhou Guohua knew that Wang Lin must have some tricks up his sleeve, so he didn't meddle and said, "Then I'm going back to eat noodles. These noodles are quite delicious."

After watching Zhou Guohua leave, Wang Lin took out his cigarette, lit it, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. He looked at the transport truck in the distance, smiled, and muttered, "By the way, I got ten boxes of nails for signing in earlier, and now they've come in handy."

nail!

If a truck tire gets punctured, it's going to be a real pain.

Wang Lin planned to have the car behind him continue following for another day or two, so that Yang Mingyuan could show off his tracking skills.

Giving Yang Mingyuan a big gift when he's feeling triumphant is definitely the best choice for someone with a clear conscience.

After finishing his cigarette, Wang Lin stubbed it out and returned to the fire to chat and boast with everyone.

To liven things up, Wang Lin even told some ghost stories he knew.

Wang Lin didn't know if others were happy, but Li Tang was genuinely happy. Tang Tang was so startled that she threw herself into his arms, making the boy grin from ear to ear. He was almost ready to call Wang Lin "godfather".

Chapter 86 Nail Blows Out Tire

It was late at night, and the temperature was a bit low; even wearing a thick cotton-padded coat, I still felt a little cold.

The back of the truck became the only safe haven.

Tang Tang, being a girl, naturally received preferential treatment, sleeping alone in the back of a truck.

Zhou Guohua sat with his colleagues from the factory's security department, smoking and chatting about the upcoming New Year.

For them, the Spring Festival is a long-awaited holiday. Not only can they have a holiday, but they can also eat delicious food. They look forward to this day all year round.

When night fell, everyone took turns on duty, except for Wang Lin and Li Tang, who were among the purchasing agents. The factory's security personnel took turns.

Fortunately, they had a fire to keep warm, otherwise they wouldn't have lasted much longer.
