Chapter 187 - 179 Reverence
Yushu Village was all a buzz as Lin Weisheng and Zhang Ming returned to the factory; they were quickly surrounded by Xie Jiang, Lu Aibing, and others, "Come on, tell us, how did the business negotiations go this time?"
"How else could it go? With Brother Aiguo leading the charge, could anything go wrong? Of course, it’s a triumphal return, victorious from the outset," Zhang Ming said, nonchalantly.
Ever since that trip to Haicheng, Lu Aiguo had made it clear to them: if you want to have a long and comfortable life following him, you had to read more and learn some culture. Otherwise, in the future, you might still end up carrying heavy loads as a coolie, doing more tiring work than others, and earning less money as well.
Lu Aiguo’s words had become as unquestionable as an "imperial edict" in their hearts, including for Xie Jiang and Lu Aijiao, who had immense trust in him. Therefore, none of them dared to slack off; they would read and learn whenever they got the chance.
So, when Zhang Ming spoke now, idioms came to him effortlessly, which didn’t seem odd to the others listening.
"It’s really nice that you guys get to go out and see the world." Lu Aibing conveyed his envy, regretting yet again that he hadn’t joined the first trip to Haicheng to learn to drive; otherwise, he could have gone to S City this time around, even if it meant putting on a bit of an act.
"What’s the hurry? Aren’t you included in this round of learning to drive? You’ll have plenty of opportunities to go out in the future," Xie Jiang said with a smile.
"Exactly," Lin Weisheng reassured him, patting Lu Aibing on the shoulder. Then he and Zhang Ming took turns recounting their experiences of the past few days. In the end, he turned to Wu Tan and said, "Brother Aiguo wants you to follow our truck to Haicheng the day after tomorrow. I’ll come to your place at four-thirty in the morning to leave together."
