Chapter 368 Going to handle the winery business again
Lu Yao shook his head, withdrew his hand, patted Shi Shouyin's shoulder, and stroked the back of his head:
"No, you should go back. Come back after the New Year and work hard."
The key members of the Blackwater Road Command Center, sitting at two large tables, were watching Shi Shouyin and Lu Yao talk.
Everyone was shocked by Lu Yao's simple gesture of patting someone on the shoulder.
Shi Shouyin was no small fry; he was the director and commander-in-chief of the Blackwater Road office, the one who gave orders.
He was much more domineering than Li Posi.
He would strike his subordinates at the drop of a hat and hurl insults at them without hesitation.
You have to be careful when you talk to him, and you don't dare to make him angry.
How dare Lu Yao pat him on the shoulder?
Even Lin Dong wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!
Lin Dong was an old subordinate of Shi Shouyin's father. He was six or seven years older than Shi Shouyin. Even if he didn't watch him grow up, he was still a key figure in the Shi family.
I sometimes have a slight disrespect for Shi Shouyin, but I wouldn't dare to be so arrogant as to pat him on the shoulder or touch the back of his head!
Everyone knows that Shi Shouyin is unpredictable; he might be laughing now, but he could be flipping the table the next moment.
So everyone was watching him intently.
We're just waiting for him to turn on us and jump up to beat Lu Yao.
Several people didn't like Lu Yao.
It wasn't that she had any conflict with Lu Yao, but rather that she resented him for surpassing her later on.
Why do you have the director's favor so much?
But... Shi Shouyin smiled.
The laughter was so uninhibited, so heartfelt:
"Oh dear, Brother Lu, I'm truly impressed! Poverty cannot sway you, wealth cannot corrupt you! So many people would steal and cheat their way up to my father's powerful family, but they never get the chance. But I'm giving you this chance, and you're turning it down?"
Looking back at the big guys:
"Look at this! What a hero is! What a man is! Company Commander Lu is a true hero! You all need to learn from him."
Except for Lin Dong, everyone nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, the director is right!"
"Company Commander Lu is a great hero! Come, let me toast you!"
A large, dark-skinned man stood up.
Shi Shouyin shoved him aside: "Get out of here! You have no right to drink with my brother Lu. Come on, little brother Lu, let me toast you!"
The burly, dark-skinned man sat down with an embarrassed expression.
Lu Yao smiled, raised his wine glass to him:
"Come on, let's all have a drink together."
The burly man was grateful; otherwise, so many people would have lost face, and he would have been laughed at later.
Lu Yao knew that these people were not good people, but they were not necessarily heinous villains either. At this time, there were many things that were beyond their control.
I drank with them for a while, clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.
Shi Shouyin asked Lu Yao:
"Oh, right, you still have the winery equipment issue. I'll take care of it for you while I'm still here. Let's go to the winery and find Lao Tian again."
After finishing the wine, we'll go to the winery.
Having just taken over Factory 458, Shi Shouyin was very concerned about his own safety.
Greet Hou Yu:
"Take more people to the winery."
Hou Yu asked Lin Dong, "Brother Dong, are you going too? Shall we bring two jeeps and one truck?"
Lin Dong glanced at Shi Shouyin, then at Lu Yao:
"I won't go. Director Shi can handle Xiao Lu. I have something else to do."
After saying that, he got up and left without saying goodbye to Shi Shouyin.
At this point, he felt that Lu Yao should no longer pose any danger to Shi Shouyin.
Therefore, he needed to resolve Liang Chao's concerns before the Spring Festival holiday.
Lu Yao chuckled inwardly: You'd better stay away and not become an accomplice to evil.
Despite not being friends with Lin Dong and having different values, Lu Yao still respected Lin Dong as a man and didn't want to kill him.
It would be best if he wasn't by Shi Shouyin's side, then Shi Shouyin's life would be in his own hands, and he could take it whenever he wanted.
Once we've used him up, it'll be time to avenge Zhao Jianguo and Yuan Shumei.
This can be considered as eliminating a scourge for the people.
Lu Yao wanted to test Shi Shouyin's level of trust in him:
"Director Shi, there's no need to make a big fuss. Just come with me, it'll just be the two of us. With my marksmanship, you won't be in any danger."
Shi Shouyin gazed at Lu Yao, suddenly appearing deeply moved:
"Brother, does this mean you're agreeing to protect me? I..."
I was speechless for a moment.
Lu Yao laughed and said, "You're doing me a favor, so isn't it normal for me to protect you? I never said I had to work for you."
"Yes, yes, I told you, I wouldn't rush you to come help me the first year. You can't be considered my subordinate; we're equals!"
She stood up, turned around, and quietly said to Hou Yu:
"You can take a small team of twelve people and just follow us from a distance. With Lu Yingxiong here, I won't be in any danger."
Looking at his expression, Lu Yao knew that his trust in her was still limited.
I won't say much more:
"Okay, let's go then."
The two of them got up and left.
Shi Shouyin went downstairs to greet them:
"Get a driver."
Lu Yao waved his hand: "No need, I'll drive, you can sit in the back."
"Can you drive?"
Shi Shouyin could drive, but he kept crashing. Once he fell into a ditch and almost drowned, so he stopped touching the steering wheel after that.
At that time, very few people knew how to drive, and most ordinary people had never ridden in a car.
When Lu Yao, a rural boy not yet twenty years old, said he could drive, not only Shi Shouyin, but most people around him did not believe it.
The driver quickly tossed the keys over.
Lu Yao got into the car, started the engine, and called to Shi Shouyin:
"Come on up, what are you waiting for?"
"Okay!"
Shi Shouyin then realized what was happening.
He winked at Hou Yu and got into the back seat of the jeep.
Lu Yao released the brake and clutch, then accelerated forward.
With a "whoosh," the sudden push almost snapped Shi Shouyin's neck.
This guy was turning around to see if Hou Yu had followed.
Hou Yu quickly mustered his troops and called for reinforcements.
A jeep followed a truck at a distance toward the liquor factory.
Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month.
This is the last day of work at the liquor factory; we'll be on holiday tomorrow.
Production has stopped; everyone is doing a thorough cleaning.
The security guard didn't dare to stop the command center's vehicle.
This woman is Zhao Jianguo's aunt. She knows that Shi Shouyin beat Yuan Shumei and that Zhao Jianguo died under mysterious circumstances.
Knowing that Shi Shouyin was a powerful figure whom no one dared to offend, she avoided him at all costs and dared not stop him.
Shi Shouyin was impressed by how smoothly Lu Yao drove, without any bumps or swaying.
We parked our car in front of the winery's office.
It's a long row of small two-story buildings.
It was built during the Japanese occupation.
As he walked further in, Shi Shouyin felt the urge to urinate; he had drunk too much beer at noon.
At that moment, I realized there was no tap or water valve, so I needed to go to the toilet immediately.
"Hey bro, wait a minute, I need to pee, I'm going to relieve myself."
"The big one?"
"Everyone, big and small, needs to go to the toilet, but I have to squat to pee!"
As Shi Shouyin spoke, he headed towards the large toilet outside.
In this era, toilets were basically not built inside houses; people had to go to the dry toilets outside.
Lu Yao, with his hands in his pockets, wandered around the corridor and waited at the door with the sign for the factory director's office.
At this moment, a man walked out of a room:
"What are you doing here? Who let you into the office?"
Lu Yao turned around and saw Tian Siwei, wearing a Zhongshan suit, a red armband, and a side-parted hairstyle. He recognized him as Tian Siwei from the winery's union, who was also the factory director's son.
Lu Yao nodded to him: "I'm here to talk to your dad about something."
"Go, go, go outside and wait. My dad's in a meeting. People who aren't from this unit aren't allowed in the office."
As he spoke, he reached out and pushed Lu Yao.
He also remembered Lu Yao, who was Yuan Shumei's friend.
I disliked this guy the last time I ate at Yuan Shumei's house.
