Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 114: We only saw the thief eating meat, but we didn't see the thief getting beaten.

Shen Zhishou did not deliberately scare Zhou Ting, because what he said was true.

Being a truck driver is not a job that just anyone can do.

Putting everything else aside, just look at the guy who blocked the way this morning. If it weren't for Wang Chenggong's on-site instruction, Shen Zhishou might have resorted to violence, since he really is a formidable fighter.

But what happens after you hit them?

If you continue down that path, the trouble will never end.

Zhou Ting looked quiet and gentle, a refined person. In the situation he encountered that morning, he definitely couldn't win a fight. He would either have to let most of the coal be taken away, or he would have to resort to guns.

In either case, Zhou Ting's professional career is essentially over.

Shen Zhishou suddenly realized that being a driver was not an easy job at all.

It just goes to show that we only see the thief eating meat, but we don't see the thief getting beaten!

The convoy eventually arrived at the scene, where a number of trucks had already gathered. However, the train involved in the accident was still some distance from the road, estimated to be more than a thousand meters away as the crow flies.

The problem is that there is a slope between the highway and the railway, which is not very big, but even a small slope is still a slope.

Unloading the grain from the truck and loading it onto the main truck was no easy task. "Everyone, get out and get to work!"

After communicating with the leader in charge of on-site coordination, Wang Chenggong called everyone to get off the bus.

"Our steel rolling mill is responsible for thirteen carriages. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go home!"

After Wang Chenggong finished speaking, he ran down the slope.

Seeing this, others followed suit.

"Section Chief, should we send a car back to pick up some people?"

Shen Zhishou caught up with Wang Chenggong and asked in a low voice.

Wang Chenggong quickly shook his head and said, "Shh! You can't say that!"

As he spoke, Wang Chenggong pointed to the numerous carriages in front of and behind the train, "If we manage to bring people here, with just a few words from the higher-ups, do you think our factory's people would have to do an incredible amount of work?"

"Got it!"

Shen Zhishou instantly understood what Wang Chenggong meant.

Thinking about it carefully, that's indeed the case.

No matter which factory brings people here, they can't just leave after unloading all the grain from their train cars, because once the leader gives the order, the people below have to work.

They're all shrewd people!

Shen Zhishou really hadn't expected this.

Forget it, I'll just do more myself!

Shen Zhishou originally thought that if he brought people along, he could relax a bit, but now it seems that if he wants to get off work on time and go home, he will have to put in a little more effort.

It wasn't that Shen Zhishou wanted to show off, but the older drivers who came from the factory were all quite old, in their forties. To put it nicely, they were at the prime of their working years, but in reality, they were really not going to be able to handle the workload.

Shen Zhishou could only make himself work harder.

Zhou Ting was genuinely frightened by this scene.

The carriage they were moving, number thirteen, was filled with rice, each bag weighing fifty pounds. One person could easily carry it, but going up and down the hill several times would require more strength.

Shen Zhishou didn't perform particularly well either, handling three bags at a time with ease.

Zhou Ting's performance was very poor.

Shen Zhishou made two round trips, while he could make one.

At the beginning, it was only a few minutes before Zhou Ting had to carry a bag of rice, and Shen Zhishou had to make three or four trips back and forth.

Indeed, life teaches every naive person that living is not easy.

Just as Shen Zhishou and his team were finishing moving the goods, a large group of people arrived. They were villagers from nearby villages, brought by their respective production teams.

"Hurry up, everyone, finish this quickly so we can get back!"

Upon seeing the reinforcements arrive, Wang Chenggong immediately greeted everyone.

"Xiao Shen, I think you still have some energy left. Hurry up, we need to get going!"

"clear!"

Shen Zhishou then began to exert his strength, carrying six bags of rice on his back at once, and even going uphill was as easy as walking on flat ground.

With Shen Zhishou's efforts, carriage number thirteen was quickly emptied.

Wang Chenggong immediately contacted the leader in charge of on-site dispatch, and led the steel rolling mill's vehicles to turn around and return to Beijing via the original route.

Zhou Ting was still sitting in the passenger seat next to Shen Zhishou, but the way he looked at Shen Zhishou was as if he were looking at some kind of idol.

"Brother Shen, isn't that a bit too much strength?"

After a long silence, Zhou Ting finally spoke.

Shen Zhishou smiled and said, "I'm just average, a little stronger than the average person. Don't be fooled by how strong I was at the end, it was mainly because I was in a hurry and had to finish in one go!"

'

"That's still amazing!"

Zhou Ting was a little discouraged. "It seems I'm really not suited to driving big trucks; I'm not strong enough!"

He got his driver's license before joining the transportation department of the steel rolling mill. He has been learning car repair from a master craftsman for more than half a year. If nothing unexpected happens, he will soon be able to drive a car.

However, he wanted to drive a big truck.

But now, Zhou Ting felt that he should just listen to the section chief's arrangements and obediently drive the car for the leader!

The reason he was reluctant to drive the car was that the steel rolling mill only had one car, which the factory leaders generally did not use. The car was only used occasionally when they needed to pick up leaders from other units or in case of emergencies.

This means that his salary is basically the minimum wage, and he can forget about getting a car allowance.

"Driving a small car is great. In the future, you might even be glad you don't have to drive a big vehicle!"

This wasn't just to fool Zhou Ting.

After all, driving a car allows you to have more contact with your superiors, and if you're good at handling things, you can easily become one of their confidants.

Of course, these things all depend on probability.

Many people drive for leaders, but few actually seize the opportunity to climb the ranks.

After the steel mill's convoy returned to Beijing, it went directly to the train station and unloaded all the grain.

Yang Zhenhua was also surprised to see Shen Zhishou driving.

When he learned that Shen Zhishou had been transferred to the transportation department, he was quite happy for Shen Zhishou.

"Work hard! If I had known you used to drive a tractor, I would have sent you to the transportation department of the steel rolling mill right from the start!"

'

"Brother Yang, I never expected that driving this big truck would be almost the same as driving a tractor!"

"So, will you still come to do odd jobs on your days off?"

"Come on, why wouldn't you come? Don't laugh at me, Brother Yang, but I'm still starving outside!"

"Do you need my help? I can manage to scrape together a few hundred yuan!"

"No need, my wife is working now too. If we work hard together, we can pay off the debt in a year!"

Shen Zhishou and Yang Zhenhua were chatting enthusiastically on the side, while Wang Chenggong, who was watching this scene, was also taken aback, as he knew Yang Zhenhua.

Don't underestimate the other party just because he's a train station manager; he has a wide network of connections.

Their steel mill's transportation department had dealt with this place quite a bit. He had tried several times to invite Yang Zhenhua to dinner, but hadn't been able to. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhishou and Yang Zhenhua had a very pleasant conversation.

After the steel mill convoy finished unloading the grain, Shen Zhishou said goodbye to Yang Zhenhua and followed the convoy back to the steel mill.

My first day as a driver was anything but easy.

Shen Zhishou originally thought that becoming a driver would be more relaxed, since there were so many things to transport. Now he realized that they were the transportation department of the steel rolling mill, but also the transportation department of the entire city of Beijing. Their superiors could call them up at any time to carry out various transportation tasks.

It truly is a unified national strategy!

Back at the steel rolling mill's transportation department, everyone collapsed to the ground. Shen Zhishou followed suit, adopting a "go with the flow" approach.

Wang Chenggong, however, did not remain idle; instead, he went to the factory office with the dispatcher.

The people in the transportation department had gone out to do hard labor, and the factory's subsidies couldn't just be a few cents. Wang Chenggong had to fight for these benefits for them.

Li Huaide was in charge of logistics, and naturally he took good care of his subordinates.

After Wang Chenggong reported the situation, Li Huaide approved the subsidy of two yuan per person.

That's a lot of money!

It's equivalent to two days' wages for many people!

"Factory manager, Shen Zhishou, the new recruit in the transportation department, had an exceptionally outstanding performance today. I think he deserves an extra dollar as a bonus!"

"OK!"

Li Huaide didn't hesitate at all.

Anyway, it wasn't his money that was being spent.

It doesn't matter who the factory's money is spent on; if it's given to the people in the logistics department, who wouldn't appreciate it?

"Factory manager, you're busy now, we'll head back first!"

Go!

Li Huaide smiled and waved.

After Wang Chenggong explained about the two yuan subsidy for today, everyone who had driven the vehicle smiled.

Having money is good!

"Xiao Shen, your subsidy is three yuan!"

"Is everyone okay with this?"

"No objections!"

"Of course!"

How could anyone possibly have any objections?

They all noticed how much work Shen Zhishou did all by himself.

Without Shen Zhishou, they would probably still be slowly climbing that hill right now.

With Shen Zhishou joining the Transportation Department, they've really struck gold this time!
