Chapter 118: Changes in Human Nature
After leaving Li Huaide, Li Kailang went straight back to the transport team.
"Master, do I have any mission today?"
Zhang Jinwu glanced at Li Kailang and asked, "Why did you come so late today?"
"Director Li called me over to talk about something." Li Kailang
Hearing this, Zhang Jinwu suddenly became a little nervous, "Why, did Li Huaide embarrass you?"
"Don't worry, Master. Several factories are here. Li Huaide didn't make things difficult for me. They even gave me a reward!"
Zhang Jinwu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Kailang with some surprise, "Reward?"
; Li Kailang then explained everything to Zhang Jinwu.
"Okay, since it's a reward from the leader, just accept it. Just listen to the leader on this matter. Don't tell anyone else, and don't tell your senior brother either."
"I have another task here for you, go do it."
As he spoke, he handed over the task list.
Li Kailang took a glance and found it not difficult.
"Okay, Master, I will go and do the mission then."
Zhang Jinwu waved his hand.
Li Kailang first checked the car to make sure there was no problem.
Then check whether there is water in the brake tank and whether there is any fault.
It is not difficult to make a brake water tank. With the capacity of a steel rolling mill, every car is now equipped with a brake water tank.
As for the seat belts, they require fabric and equipment, which makes them somewhat difficult to make.
But it only took a few days for the entire transport team to be equipped.
However, the fabrics for these seat belt bandages are all made by the drivers themselves, and not from steel mills or transport teams.
After all, things developed too quickly and there was no time to prepare. We had to wait for the steel mill to be equipped, so we might as well do it ourselves.
Li Kailang clapped his hands and said, "Just add some more water and we can move."
The mission route is all flat, so there is no need to fill the entire brake tank.
After all, it has a capacity of 300 liters and weighs 0.3 tons, which is not light.
Li Kailang took the task list and loaded the steel from the warehouse.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the window.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, wait for me!" The voice sounded familiar.
Li Kailang stopped the car to see who was looking for him.
After improving his firearms skills, Li Kailang's eyesight also improved.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized at a glance that the person running towards him was Wang Changjun.
"Wang Changjun? What does he want from me?"
Li Kailang was a little confused. Since he and Zhang Fen went out to drive, he rarely saw Wang Changjun.
"Brother Li! Brother Li!" Wang Changjun ran to the car, supported himself on his knees, and gasped heavily.
After Wang Changjun had caught his breath, Li Kailang asked:
"Brother Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask, which route are you taking this time? Can you take me with you along the way?" Wang Changjun asked, panting.
"I went to the power station this time, what happened?"
"The power station, does it pass by Zhangjia Village on the way?"
"Zhangjia Village? Let me think about it."
Li Kailang quickly recalled the route to the power station and the places he passed along the way, and there was indeed Zhangjia Village.
"I'm just passing by, Brother Wang, what are you doing there?"
"You don't remember? I asked you to go there last time, but you didn't make it. That's my new purchasing site. Have you forgotten?"
"Um, I indeed forgot!" Li Kailang was not embarrassed.
It’s not his own business, why does he remember it so clearly!
"Why, Brother Wang, where are you going to purchase?"
Hearing this, Wang Changjun nodded.
"Can you take me there on the way?"
Li Kailang smiled and said, "No problem. It's just on the way anyway."
When Wang Changjun got on the passenger seat, Li Kailang suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Brother Wang, I'm going to the power station this time, so I won't pass through Zhangjia Village on my way back."
"Ah?" Wang Changjun was stunned. "Isn't your route fixed? Why didn't you pass by there on your way back?"
"Most routes are fixed, but some are not," Li Kailang explained.
"Is that so? Do you have any other tasks?"
"This is not."
"Why don't you change your route and pass through Zhangjia Village? You don't have any mission anyway, so just consider it as helping me, okay?" Wang Changjun made the decision directly.
Hearing this, Li Kailang frowned slightly.
Although Wang Changjun's words sounded like he was asking for help, there was an unquestionable firmness in his tone.
It was like an order, and the decision was made directly.
Li Kailang had originally considered changing his route, but Wang Changjun's tone seemed to indicate that he would definitely agree.
Do you really think that Li Kailang’s good temper can be manipulated at will?
"No, Brother Wang, our route is pre-arranged and cannot be changed at will."
"Hey, Brother Li, why are you so stubborn? Rules are dead, but people are alive. Can't we be a little more flexible?"
"Besides, as long as we don't tell anyone, the transport team won't know." Wang Changjun still didn't give up.
Li Kailang shook his head and asked, "Brother Wang, if nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if something goes wrong, who will be held responsible?"
Wang Changjun was silent for a moment, obviously not wanting to take responsibility.
He advised again: "Xiao Li! How could this possibly go wrong? We have been on the road together so many times, and everything went fine every time, didn't it?"
"Just help me, this road is really hard to walk on. After this is done, I'll treat you to a meal!"
To Li Kailang, Wang Changjun's words sounded like alms.
Which hot-blooded young man could bear this? Besides, who is begging whom now?
Even the way he addressed me changed. He used to be called Brother Li, but now he is Xiao Li? !
"No, Brother Wang, I have my own route, and I won't pass through Zhangjia Village on my way back."
Li Kailang suppressed his anger and gave Wang Changjun a last bit of face, hoping that he would have self-awareness.
"No, Xiao Li, the road is so long. Besides, I'm already up here, so I won't go down. Please be kind and help me, ah!"
Wang Changjun refused without even thinking about it.
Li Kailang couldn't help it anymore, so he got out of the car, walked to the passenger seat, opened the door suddenly, and pulled Wang Changjun out of the car.
"Damn it," Li Kailang said angrily.
"Hey! Xiao Li, what are you doing!"
Wang Changjun was dragged to the ground roughly by Li Kailang.
"I'll ask you to be kind!"
"I asked you to help my brother!"
After Li Kailang pulled Wang Changjun down, he went directly from the co-pilot seat to the driver's seat.
"Rumble--"
The GAZ truck roared, fell back a few meters, and then rushed towards Wang Changjun.
"Xiao Li, what are you doing! What are you doing!?"
Wang Changjun looked at the truck rushing towards him and stepped back in fear.
“Beep, beep, beep—”
Li Kailang felt that this was not enough, so he stepped on the accelerator and honked his horn loudly, giving Wang Changjun a warning.
Seeing the truck approaching, Wang Changjun retreated in a hurry, but his feet were unstable and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
His eyes were wide, the image of the truck reflected in his pupils.
A huge feeling of fear came over me, as if I was facing the threat of death.
"Brother Li!" Wang Changjun shouted in despair.
"Squeak-"
Just when Wang Changjun thought he was going to be hit to death, the GAZ truck suddenly stopped, almost stopping right next to Wang Changjun's face.
A strong airflow from the car rushed straight towards him, and the car was only 30 centimeters away from his face. Li Kailang would not really kill Wang Changjun, after all, killing him would not do him any good.
Wang Changjun slowly opened his eyes and looked at the huge car in front of him. He was so scared that his limbs went limp and he fell to the ground.
The scene just now was so thrilling that he was almost killed.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead, soaking the clothes on his back. He gasped for breath, trying to calm the fear in his heart.
Li Kailang stuck his head out, looked at Wang Changjun's miserable state and said angrily: "Damn it, if you dare to talk to me like this again next time, I will hit you to death!"
As if this was not enough to vent his anger, Li Kailang got out of the car and kicked Wang Changjun a few more times.
Although it hurt a lot after being kicked, Wang Changjun didn't say a word and didn't dare to resist.
"Hmph!" Seeing this, Li Kailang returned to the car.
Watching Li Kailang walking away, Wang Changjun slowly regained consciousness.
There is naturally a reason why Wang Changjun doesn't take Li Kailang seriously.
He was rejected by Li Kailang before, so he had no choice but to go to the new route by himself.
Originally he planned to give the village along the new route a warning, but the result was not what he expected.
The villagers ignored him and some even neglected his existence.
He originally wanted to complete the purchase by his own ability, but he soon discovered that he could not conquer the people of these villages by his own ability alone.
However, Wang Changjun did not give up.
He used some tricks and finally succeeded in conquering these villagers.
"I didn't expect these villages to be so rich!" Wang Changjun was secretly happy.
In just less than ten days, he completed two months' worth of purchases.
Wang Changjun felt that he could finally complete the task with his own abilities and no longer needed to rely on Li Kailang.
From then on, his attitude towards Li Kailang changed unconsciously.
His attitude towards Li Kailang became more and more casual, and he began to feel a little dissatisfied.
He felt that he already had enough strength and capital and no longer needed to act according to Li Kailang's mood.
However, today's experience made him realize that the gap in strength between him and Li Kailang was still huge.
He was frightened by Li Kailang's sudden behavior, and coupled with Li Kailang's huge physique and amazing strength, he knew that he was no match at all.
Wang Changjun did not resist, on the one hand because he was frightened, and on the other hand because he knew that his strength was far inferior to Li Kailang's.
After patting the dirty clothes a few times, Wang Changjun decided to go home and change into clean clothes first.
As for complaining to the security guard, there were no witnesses around, and even if he did, he would not end up well.
I have to go to Zhangjia Village today and I can’t waste time because of this matter.
The villagers have begun to re-examine him. If he doesn't do well, all his efforts will be in vain!
Wang Changjun touched his body. Although it was a little painful, fortunately he was not seriously injured.
Although Li Kailang's kicks caused him some pain, they did not hit him in any vital areas.
This was naturally because Li Kailang held back on his strength, otherwise, with Wang Changjun's physique, he would have been crippled with a few kicks.
"Hiss~" Wang Changjun took a few breaths, slowly stood up, and went back to the cadre building to get his bicycle.
"Damn, what the hell?" Li Kailang became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He deliberately changed his route and bypassed Zhangjia Village.
I just want to tell Wang Changjun that if he wants to change the route, he should.
When Wang Changjun arrived at Zhangjia Village on the new route, he also asked the villagers: "Zhang San, did you see the truck passing by?"
"Truck? No!"
"Are you sure you don't have any? Big trucks?"
Zhang San shook his head. "Purchasing Wang, there really isn't any. I've been here the whole time, but I just didn't see any."
Afraid that Wang Changjun would not believe him, Zhang San asked the surrounding villagers: "Did you see it?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wang Changjun understood that Li Kailang was teaching him a lesson and the decision was his, not anyone else's.
In desperation, Wang Changjun could only purchase in the village as originally planned.
Originally, with Li Kailang around, he could purchase more, but now he can only purchase the normal amount.
Wang Changjun had just completed his purchasing task and sorted the supplies.
"Beep, beep--" There were several noisy whistles coming from outside.
"Who is it? Could they be here to pick up Wang for shopping?" a villager asked in confusion.
Wang Changjun had told them before that he was familiar with the driver and could help purchase the goods.
Everyone was a little skeptical and went outside.
"Beep!" A few more whistles were heard.
"Purchasing Manager Wang, he won't come to see you, right? Why don't you go out and take a look?" some villagers suggested.
Hearing this, Wang Changjun was a little confused. Who would look for him?
When he went out with the villagers and saw Li Kailang outside, he was immediately delighted and thought that Li Kailang had come back to apologize.
"Xiao Li? How are you doing?"
Seeing Wang Changjun coming out, Li Kailang smiled at him without waiting for Wang Changjun to come over.
"Rumble--"
Li Kailang drove away mercilessly, leaving a cloud of dust, completely ignoring Wang Changjun's presence.
Li Kailang's action shocked Wang Changjun and the villagers. They stood there in a daze, unable to understand Li Kailang's behavior.
Wang Changjun stood there in a daze, his face turning pale and blue, the anger in his heart surging like a volcano.
The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment. They originally thought that Wang Changjun had a close relationship with Li Kailang, which was why they asked him to help transport supplies.
The villagers looked at Wang Changjun with scrutiny in their eyes.
"This is different from what he said before!" a villager whispered.
"Didn't he say before that he and the driver were sworn brothers and could be asked to come over to help transport the supplies? Why is he ignoring him?"
The villagers were talking about it and their trust in Wang Changjun began to waver.
Wang Changjun was able to complete the purchase amount in ten days because he knew the driver.
Only for Wang Changjun's "face" were they willing to give him the best things.
Now it seems that everything needs to be reconsidered.
Fortunately, Wang Changjun has already completed the purchase, and they can't go back on their word!
Originally, Wang Changjun was filled with confusion as he watched Li Kailang drive away.
But looking at the eyes of the villagers, he instantly understood Li Kailang's intention.
"Li Kailang, that bastard!" Wang Changjun gnashed his teeth in anger, "He's going to destroy me! He's going to make everything I've done go to waste!"
Li Kailang wanted to ruin his reputation and make all his efforts go to waste!
Wang Changjun was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he had no place to vent.
Originally, Li Kailang didn't think so deeply about it. He just wanted to slap Wang Changjun in the face, but he didn't expect that the villagers trusted Wang Changjun so much.
"Comrade, are you Wang Caigou's brother? Are you here to pick him up?"
"Do we need to guess? It must be this, otherwise why would the driver stop?"
"Purchaser Wang is really capable. He actually has a brother who is a driver. This way we don't have to worry about transporting grain anymore!"
"Yes! This big guy, Wang, the purchaser, promised to help us transport the grain. This may be a lot of grain!"
The villagers kept praising Wang Changjun.
When Li Kailang heard this, he wondered when he and Wang Changjun became brothers? When did he agree to help?
Obviously Wang Changjun is bragging.
"You can't blame me now!" Li Kailang smiled maliciously.
Li Kailang's previous behavior was intentional, just to make Wang Changjun lose face in front of the villagers.
Not only did it shatter Wang Changjun's beautiful dream, but it also greatly reduced his prestige among the villagers.
Sure enough, the villagers came to their senses and ran to Wang Changjun, asking what was going on.
"Purchasing Wang, didn't you say you and the driver were brothers? Why did he leave?"
"Yes, we let you buy so many things because you know the driver."
"You'd better tell the truth and don't tell us that what you said before was a lie."
The villagers spoke rudely, and Wang Changjun didn't care about Li Kailang and dealt with the problem in front of him first.
