After waiting for about ten minutes, Ye Zhiwei appeared at the intersection in a 1997 Mitsubishi Pajero V-type SUV. As soon as he got out of the car, he said apologetically, "Master Wen, you must have been impatient waiting. I don't know what happened today. One of the two main roads into the city was closed due to road construction, and the other had a serious accident, blocking the road for five or six kilometers. I had no choice but to go around from the other side of the dirt road, which delayed me..."
Wen Liang joked, "I thought that Boss Ye was used to sleeping in and was unhappy to get up so early."
Ye Zhiwei was sweating and said, "How could that be possible? I was already awake when I received the call..."
The three of them got on the car and drove for more than ten miles before arriving at the toll station into Wuzhou. As expected, two heavy trucks loaded with ore collided head-on, and the rear of the truck swung sideways, knocking down half of the toll station. It was unknown if there were any casualties. Hundreds of tons of ore were scattered all over the ground, blocking the road for things to enter and exit. It would take more than half a day for the road to be blocked.
"Luckily, when I went to inspect the tea plantations in Wujiang last time, County Magistrate Yao took me through a shortcut on my way back to the city. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to get in and out today."
Ye Zhiwei was about to turn left. There were many vehicles ahead who were turning around because they knew the shortcut. Chang Cheng was sharp-eyed and saw the Mercedes-Benz that had passed by before among the rows of cars. He said, "Boss, look!"
Wen Liang was sitting in the back seat. He leaned over when he heard the noise. He saw the 1.9-meter-tall man opening the door and getting out. He stood in front of the car with his hands clasped and looked up. He seemed a little anxious. After a moment's hesitation, he said to Chang Cheng, "Go and have a look. If we're in a hurry, let them follow us on the side road."
Although the Mercedes-Benz has a Su A license plate, judging from the driver's accent, he should be from another place and may not know that there is such a small road.
Ye Zhiwei interrupted, "I'm afraid that car won't work. This road is difficult to drive on, and we have to wade through a small ditch. The car has a low chassis and can't make it through."
"Is that so?" Wen Liang said with a smile, "Let's go ask them if they want a ride. After all, they just wanted to give us a ride out of kindness, so it's a two-way street."
Chang Cheng got out of the car and talked to the big man for a few words. The man went to the rear window and whispered for a while, then stretched out his hand to open the car door. A pair of straight and slender legs were stretched sideways, and the white crystal strap sandals gently touched the ground. The woman in a black slim waisted sleeveless dress walked down. The delicate face like white porcelain shone in the morning light, and the jade arms like lotus roots were exposed, without any flaws. The slender waist was like a willow supported by the weak wind, and she was indescribably graceful. If it was just beautiful, it would be fine, but what was better than her appearance was the temperament she exuded. She was not as cold and lonely as the Tianshan Snow Lotus, nor as approachable as the sister next door, but she was dignified and beautiful with a quiet and gentle manner, which made people respect her but dare not look directly at her.
A girl dressed in an OL suit also came down from the other side. She was wearing a white shirt with a wide open collar, titanium-frame glasses with gold rims, and her black hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head. She exuded an indescribable shrewdness and competence. Although she was also extraordinarily beautiful, she pales in comparison to the previous girl.
But Chang Cheng was not an old-fashioned man. He was used to seeing all kinds of beauties when he followed Wen Liang. He was just a little distracted and then he reacted. He made an inviting gesture and led the two women to the Pajero. The big man backed out the car and found a place on the side of the road where it would not get in the way.
Walking closer, Wenliang's eyes swept over the woman. He could see that this hand-tailored dress was very expensive, but he was not too surprised. Suhai is located in an important place, with the largest economic output in the country and many financial tycoons gathered here. It is normal to have such an outstanding woman.
"Excuse me."
Before Wen Liang spoke, the beautiful woman nodded first, revealing a smile that made people's heart beat faster. Her voice sounded like the gurgling of a spring. Although there were only three words, it was very pleasant to the ears. Her attitude was neither high and mighty nor flattering. She was polite and considerate without being deliberate. She was generous and generous, yet close yet distant, which made people feel good about her.
Wen Liang jumped out of the car. Seeing that the woman had no intention of shaking hands, he naturally did not hesitate to say, "You're welcome. We are on our way. Please sit in the middle row, young ladies. I will have to sit in the back row with you." He looked at the big man who had just walked over and smiled kindly, "My car is simple, please don't despise it."
These were the words of the big man before. When Wen Liang said them now, they were particularly interesting. A smile appeared on his face, which rarely showed any expression. He said, "Excuse me!"
The OL girl looked at the big man in surprise, as if wondering why he could smile. However, she had just been a little dissatisfied with her boss agreeing to take a stranger's car, but she could not disobey the order. Now that she saw Wen Liang, her expression would certainly not be very good.
"Please!" Wen Liang leaned sideways.
"Thank you!" The beautiful woman lowered her head and raised her legs. In an instant, the outline of her legs hidden under her skirt could be vaguely seen.
Wen Liang's heart skipped a beat. The OL girl took a half step forward, blocking Wen Liang's gaze. After helping the woman into the car, she turned her head and glared at Wen Liang, seeming dissatisfied.
Uncle Wen was thick-skinned enough to not take it seriously. After the two of them were seated, he asked the older guy to go to the back seat first, then he got in and closed the door. When he turned around, his butt accidentally rubbed against the OL girl's shoulder. He seemed to be able to feel the softness of her skin through the thin clothes, which made the girl even more embarrassed and annoyed.
After taking their seats, Wen Liang, as the owner of the car, couldn't just sit there and not say anything, so he asked, "Where are you going in Wuzhou?"
The OL girl didn't even turn her head and took over the conversation and said lightly: "Don't bother, just send us into the city."
Wen Liang heard the cautious tone in the girl's words, smiled slightly, and said without asking any more questions, "Okay, Zhiwei, let's go."
"Xiao Liu!" The beautiful woman scolded in a low voice, turned her head and looked at Wen Liang, still smiling politely, and said, "Sorry for bothering you, sir. If I hadn't made an appointment with a friend yesterday, I wouldn't have to be so anxious. Thank you very much. May I ask your name, sir?"
"Excuse me, my last name is Wen, what's your last name, young lady?"
"Xiang," she seemed not to want to talk about the last name, and asked again: "Sir, you are not from Suhai, right?"
Wen Liang asked curiously, "How did you tell?" Although the customs and folkways of Jiangdong and Suhai are very different, they live close to each other and can be distinguished just by the way they speak and their appearance.
The woman surnamed Xiang smiled, with a charming look in her eyes, and said, "The previous car seemed to have a license plate from somewhere else..."
"Ugh!" Wen Liang slapped his forehead and said, "I'm too stupid to have thought of this. Excuse me, the young lady is not from here, right?"
The lady surnamed Xiang raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes showing curiosity, which made her beautiful face even more adorable. She asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Of course I can't tell from the license plate," Wen Liang said with a smile, "From what I heard from this brother's accent earlier, it has a bit of Lingnan characteristics."
The Xiang woman chuckled and said, "That's right. Dawei's Mandarin is not very good. I tried to make up for it for a while not long ago, but it seems that it is still not good enough."
This 1.9 meter tall man turned out to be Da Wei. Wen Liang smiled at him and said, "It's actually quite good. Even we all speak with a bit of the local dialect."
As they were talking, the Pajero turned onto a rugged path, which was full of potholes and difficult to drive on, especially when passing the edge of rice fields. If you were not careful, you would get stuck in the mud. Fortunately, this newly modified V had changed its power and transmission, and had strong grip, so they passed several dangerous places in succession. Many of the other cars that followed them all the way got stuck, skidded on the spot, and were unable to move forward.
The office lady called Xiao Liu was suspicious of Wen Liang and his men for not letting Mercedes-Benz follow them, but she was relieved after seeing the actual road conditions. However, she changed her mind and decided that no matter whether they had ulterior motives or not, with Da Wei here, she could easily deal with ten people, not to mention three.
Wen Liang was sitting in the back seat, and of course he didn't know that Xiao Liu had already regarded them as a robber who was out to rob people of their money and their women. He looked casually at the delicate body of the beauty in front of him swaying with the ups and downs of the car. The genes of the wretched uncle took effect at the right time, and suddenly a certain happy posture that men and women would take when doing happy things emerged in his mind, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
After driving like this for more than half an hour, the Pajero finally turned back to the main road. Xiao Liu, who had suffered from the bumps, breathed a sigh of relief, supported his young lady's body, and whispered, "Miss, are you okay?"
The woman surnamed Xiang shook her head, her face was a little pale. She rarely had such an experience, and she felt a little nauseous for a moment, but it was naturally not good to say such things in front of a strange man. Xiao Liu had followed her for many years and knew it at a glance. When the car just drove into Wuzhou City, she turned to Wen Liang and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wen, just let us get off here."
Wen Liang saw that the woman surnamed Xiang didn't say anything, and knew what she meant, so he smiled and said, "You're welcome! Zhiwei, pull over."
After the three got off the car, Wen Liang expressed his gratitude to the woman again. He waved his hand without saying anything more. They met by chance and would never see each other again in the future, so just treat it as an anecdote on the road.
Arriving at the hotel where they were staying, Wen Liang and his party entered the room that had been booked long ago. Ye Zhiwei said, "Young Master Wen, you guys wash up and rest first. I'll go and arrange breakfast."
After a hard night, Wen Liang and Chang Cheng went to take a shower. When they came out, a sumptuous breakfast was already placed in the room. Both of them were hungry, so they sat opposite each other and started to eat. Ye Zhiwei looked at Chang Cheng from the side, and felt a little envious. If it were him, he would never be so disrespectful to Wen Liang, and would be very careful even when eating together. However, this was a matter of personal affinity, and he could not be envious. Who could blame him for having such a bad temper
After finishing the meal, Chang Cheng took Ye Zhiwei to play chess to relieve boredom. Wen Liang took out his cell phone and called Yao Shang. After a three-second beep, a surprised voice came from the other side of the receiver: "Hello, Mr. Wen?" (To be continued)
