0245 Ask for help
There is no need to elaborate on the performance of the Land Rover off-road vehicle. The price of more than 2 million is here. It is said that you get what you pay for. If it can be sold at such a high price and there are still people buying it, it naturally has its advantages.
However, everything in this world has two sides. Sometimes it is an advantage, but under certain circumstances and circumstances, the advantages sometimes turn into disadvantages.
The powerful performance of Land Rover makes it consume a lot of fuel. Although the fuel tank is not small, it still consumes very quickly. If you are in the city, this is nothing. If you can afford the car, you can naturally afford to fill up the fuel.
But in this mountain village, it seems a bit embarrassing. Su Jie is not short of money. Not to mention what he has in his pocket, he still has half a million in cash in the trunk. But the problem is that there is no place to spend money here. In such a place, if the fuel consumption is really exhausted at this time, then only the result of pushing the cart will be left, without any accidents.
Regarding Liang Biao turning off the car on his own, Su Jie said nothing. This was what he should have done. He just moved his body, and his originally stretched body curled up slightly.
Su Jie didn't wear much. Apart from his coat and trousers, he only wore a shirt and underpants underneath. This outfit was not very good in the city. There was heating in the house and air conditioning in the car. No matter how cold it was outside, he couldn't freeze. In fact, Xu Yao He and Yuan Jing wore even less clothes. This winter, their lower bodies were nothing more than a pair of cotton pantyhose.
However, in this cold mountain, wearing such clothes is a bit self-inflicted. As time goes on, the warm air in the car is gradually assimilated by the cold outside. After a while, the entire car becomes like an ice cellar.
At first, Su Jie could hold on, feeling the cold winter night with a calm expression. But after a while, he couldn't stand it anymore. He curled up completely and put his hands into his sleeves. At this time, he couldn't care anymore. No matter what dignity or airs you have, warmth is the most important thing at this time.
"Put this on your body," Liang Biao took off his cotton-padded clothes when he saw Su Jie shivering and handed it to Su Jie.
Liang Biao has no image to maintain. He usually wears a thick cotton coat, but now it has become a rare thing.
Su Jie raised his head and glanced at Liang Biao, and saw that he didn't have many clothes inside, just a woolen sweater. If the cotton clothes were given to him, he would probably be cold.
"No need," Su Jie shook his head. He changed his head to a comfortable position and lay on the seat. He closed his eyes and tried to force himself to fall asleep. Under such circumstances, falling asleep was also a kind of relief and enjoyment.
However, falling asleep in this situation is obviously a luxury. In addition, Su Jie had something on his mind. After thinking about it for a long time, Su Jie didn't feel sleepy at all. He was about to sit up and smoke a cigarette when he felt something was covering him.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Liang Biao's cotton coat covering him.
Su Jie opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but Liang Biao spoke first.
"I have been trained, and my body is not comparable to yours. This kind of thing is easy for me, but not for you. You will catch a cold if you are like this. You will have something to do tomorrow, so you can't catch a cold."
Liang Biao's words were sincere, and Su Jie was too embarrassed to refuse. In the end, he could only nod, and then started smoking under his cotton padded clothes.
Just staying in such loneliness until around three o'clock in the morning, Su Jie became more or less sleepy and fell into a state of half-dream and half-awake.
At five o'clock, Su Jie woke up from a daze. He had not slept enough, but he was woken up by the cold. The early morning in winter was even more annoying than the night. The sleepy and cold feeling almost made people crazy.
Su Jie stood up and opened the car door. He thought it was very cold in the car before, but the cold air coming in front of him made Su Jie know that it was quite warm in the car.
I got out of the car, stamped my feet, and couldn't help shrinking my body. It was still dark at this time, and there was no sign of light in the dark sky, only the rising mist.
Su Jie walked aside, took off his pants and peed, and then returned to the car. At this time, he had no sleepiness and no intention to chat with Liang Biao. He just sat upright on the seat and smoked a cigarette. While looking into the distance.
Around 6:30, it finally gets light. Rural people usually get up early. As soon as it gets light, there are faint sounds of voices, and at the same time, smoke rises from the cooking pots.
Su Jie and Liang Biao got out of the car and washed their faces with the mineral water in the trunk. The feeling was not very pleasant. The water was so cold that it was freezing to the bones when you held it with your hands.
After washing up, Liang Biao went to a nearby house to inquire about the specific address of Li Hui's family. Under the attack of RMB, the simple villager told Liang Biao happily and enthusiastically wanted to take the two of them there.
Su Jie refused. He couldn't go now. It was too early and it was breakfast time. It was obviously inappropriate for him to go there now.
After thanking the villagers, Su Jie and Liang Biao got in the car again. At this time, people could be seen in the village. From time to time, there were a few curious villagers peeking here from a distance. Su Jie's Land Rover was here. It's obviously not common, so others are naturally curious.
At around eight o'clock, Su Jie and Liang Biao began to walk to Li Hui's house, Su Jie in front and Liang Biao in the back, still carrying the cloth bag containing 500,000 in cash.
When I came to the Li family, I saw that they also lived in the countryside, but the Li family was not like others. The newly built spacious tiled house had a tiled door and a cement-paved parking lot in front of the door. It looked very awkward. Same.
Su Jie went to knock on the door. The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties, who looked quite wealthy and did not look like a rural person.
"Is this Dean Li's house," Su Jie asked politely.
The woman glanced at Su Jie and said unhappily: "Something's wrong,"
Su Jie said: "I do have something I want to talk to Dean Li about. I am..."
"He went to visit him, but he's not at home. You can look for him at work later in the year," the woman said and closed the door, not giving Su Jie a chance to speak again.
Su Jie pursed his lips and frowned. He wanted to knock on the door again, but after thinking about it, he decided to leave for now.
Now he was asking for help, so he had to put himself down. The woman just now was probably Li Hui's wife, but she couldn't offend him. Since she said she was visiting, the only way he could do it was to wait at the door. Li Hui didn't You may never go out, but as long as you see Li Hui, you will have a chance to talk and express your feelings.
This wait lasted just a day. Su Jie had thought that giving gifts would be an easy task. After all, this was giving money to Li Hui, so why wouldn't he want to.
However, it was then that he realized that senior officials at the deputy department level like Li Hui were no longer short of money, let alone gifts. The current situation was that when you gave money to others, you still had to look at their faces.
During this period, Su Jie knocked on the door several times, but either it didn't open or Li Hui hadn't come back yet. He also called Li Hui's cell phone many times. Once, the call got through, but he was hung up soon after. The remaining few times are in the locked state.
Seeing that the sun had set, Su Jie couldn't help but feel agitated. He frowned while sitting in the car. He hadn't enjoyed this kind of treatment for some time.
In Nanhai Port, he was a tyrant. Regardless of whether he was a merchant official or an ordinary citizen, they all treated him with respect. But in front of Li Hui, he was nothing and could not be counted.
The sun finally set, and the day was over, but Su Jie couldn't accomplish anything. He couldn't leave at this time, so he could only continue to wait.
In the evening, Liang Biao spent 500 yuan to rent a room with a farmer's family, where he also had dinner.
The food and accommodation are not that good, but they are better than staying in the car. At least you can sleep a little more comfortably.
Before going to bed, Su Jie called Yuan Jing and asked about the situation at home. There was nothing going on at home, and the two women were just worried about him.
Su Jie joked about last night's experience and described the feeling. He said it unintentionally, but he was depressed and wanted to chat with Yuan Jing, but Yuan Jing didn't sound like it and hung up the phone. After wiping her tears for a long time, she naturally felt uncomfortable knowing what Su Jie had suffered. At the same time, she couldn't help but blame Xu Yao. Since it was relevant, why didn't she find him earlier so that Su Jie wouldn't have to suffer this again?
Xu Yao was also extremely distressed. Both women took good care of him when they were at home. How could he ever suffer so much? However, she could not do anything about Yuan Jing's complaints. Su Jie's temper There, it wasn't like she could do whatever she said. In the end, the two women could only be speechless and worried silently.
On the next day, Su Jie and Liang Biao had breakfast at that house, and then came to Li's house to wait. It was already New Year's Eve, and it was New Year's Eve in the evening, and every house was bustling. It was noisy, but Su Jie and Liang Biao were a little embarrassed, squatting not far from the door of Li's house, looking bitter and resentful.
Near noon, a middle-aged man walked out of Li Huiyuan. The man was wearing a black coat and his slightly sparse hair was combed behind his head. Although he was not young, his face was rosy and he looked very stylish.
Seeing this man coming out, Su Jie immediately became energetic. He had seen Li Hui's photo before and knew that this man was the Li Hui he was looking for.
"Dean Li," Su Jie shouted from afar, then stood up and trotted to Li Hui, saying politely: "Hello, dean Li, my name is Su Jie, I am the manager of Nanhai Port Yaojing Entertainment Company, I came here yesterday Just come here..."
"Okay, let's get down to business," Li Hui waved his hand impatiently, and then added: "The Chinese New Year doesn't let anyone stop. You squatting in front of my house like this, have you considered the impact?"
Su Jie laughed brightly, and then got down to business. At the moment, he was just asking for help. It was normal to be wronged and made things difficult for him. Su Jie didn't care at all, as long as he could get things done today.
