My sister broke off her engagement to marry someone richer? My older sister married me and became in

On the fourth day, the sky was just beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

At the lumberyard at the foot of the mountain, the air was as cold as solidified iron.

Li Jianye, with his hands tucked in his pockets and exhaling a puff of white breath, strolled over slowly with two trusted confidants.

He didn't sleep well last night; his heart was pounding with a mix of excitement and anxiety.

He was certain that Lu Qingshan, that young punk, was going to get into serious trouble today.

The wood was smashed, and the workers were injured; either of these things would be enough to give Lu Qingshan a hard time.

He had even thought of the wording for the accident report.

"Section Chief Li, look, there are quite a few people here," a trusted confidant chimed in.

Li Jianye looked in that direction and saw that the area around the timber yard was already crowded with people, all of whom were forestry workers who had come to watch the excitement.

A cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

The more people, the better.

He wanted to see in front of everyone how Lu Qingshan's boast was exposed as a lie.

"Stand back a bit, or you'll get splattered with blood," Li Jianye warned those around him in a sarcastic tone.

A small commotion immediately arose in the crowd. Everyone looked up at the ice path that gleamed in the morning light, their eyes filled with doubt and worry.

Just then, a clear whistle rang out from the mountaintop.

"They're here!"

Someone shouted, and everyone's heart jumped into their throat.

Immediately afterwards, a deep, rumbling sound, like rolling thunder, came from above the valley.

The sound grew louder and louder as it approached, making one's eardrums tingle.

A huge black shadow rushed down the broken ice slide at a speed that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye!

"My goodness!"

"Too fast! It's going to smash to pieces!"

Gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd, and many people even closed their eyes in fright.

A smug, cold smile was just about to appear on Li Jianye's lips.

At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.

The huge red pine log suddenly slowed down as it entered the first "S" bend halfway up the mountain!

Something seemed to be tied to the inner wall of the curve, violently rubbing against the rapidly sliding timber, producing a long, piercing "sizzle" sound.

Then, there's the second bend, and then the third bend!

Every sharp turn was like an invisible hand, steadily deflecting the violent momentum from the giant tree.

By the time the pine tree, weighing several hundred kilograms, reached the end of the slide, its speed was almost the same as a person running.

Finally, there was a muffled "thud".

The giant tree plunged headfirst into a large pit at the foot of the mountain, filled with thick sawdust and hay, raising a cloud of dust before coming to a steady stop.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds.

The entire room fell silent.

Only the whistling sound of the mountain wind could be heard.

A few seconds later.

"It's a success!"

"My God! It stopped! And the wood didn't break!"

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the crowd erupted in thunderous cheers!

The sneer on Li Jianye's face froze completely, and his face, which had been waiting to see a good show, turned ashen white in an instant.

"No...it's impossible..."

He muttered to himself, his legs went weak, and he almost sat down on the snow.

He staggered over and rushed over, desperately shoveling away the sawdust from the buffer pool, and placed his hands on the red pine log.

The ice crystals on the wood were colder than his heart.

He walked around the wood twice, examining it carefully. Not only was it not cracked, but even large pieces of bark hadn't been scraped off.

His two trusted confidants behind him stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost, unable to utter a single word.

"This...this Deputy Section Chief Lu is truly capable!"

"What do you mean by 'backdoor'? This is called hard power!"

The whispers of the crowd were like red-hot needles piercing Li Jianye's ears.

Before everyone could fully recover from their shock, the whistle sounded again from the mountaintop.

The second one.

The third one.

The huge red pine logs, like products on a factory assembly line, slid down the mountain in an orderly, fast and steady fashion.

That efficiency is astounding.

The amount transported in just half a day is equivalent to what a truck convoy used to do in three days and three nights!

And it doesn't use a single drop of oil!

Upon hearing the news, the farm manager Li Aiguo and the technical section chief Zhou Baoguang rushed over. Standing outside the crowd, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.

Zhou Baoguang was so excited that his face turned red, and he kept slapping his thigh.

"Genius! Genius design!"

"Using discarded plastic sheeting tied to the inside of the curve to increase friction and slow down the car! This...this is simply a miracle!"

Li Aiguo's burly body trembled slightly with extreme excitement.

He snatched the metal megaphone from the security office next door and, in his booming voice, roared to the entire room:

"I hereby declare!"

"From today onwards, Comrade Lu Qingshan will have priority in making decisions regarding all matters in our newly established Transportation Planning Department of the forest farm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in another uproar.

The section chief position is still vacant, so they've already put the deputy section chief in charge?

This isn't just a hint, it's an explicit statement! Li Jianye is completely out of the running.

Li Aiguo paused, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire room, finally lingering for a moment on Li Jianye at the back of the crowd.

"Our forest farm needs capable and responsible cadres like Lu Qingshan!"

"Instead of those spineless cowards who just hide in their offices, pointing fingers and giving orders, and then cowering in the face of difficulties!"

All eyes turned to Li Jianye at the back of the crowd, whose face had turned from white to green, and then from green to purple.

That look was more hurtful than being verbally abused.

……

In the manager's office, the stove was burning brightly.

Li Aiguo personally poured Lu Qingshan a cup of hot tea.

"Well done, kid!"

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"

He slammed a list of personnel on the table.

"If you don't like anyone in this department, just cross them off! And if you want to transfer anyone from another department, just ask!"

Lu Qingshan picked up his teacup and nodded calmly.

"Thank you, Manager."

Despite accomplishing such a significant feat, there wasn't a trace of pride on his face.

He was already planning his next move.

This sudden cold snap has delayed me for quite a few days; it's time to go home and visit.

I was supposed to have a few days off, but I was busy with work and didn't go home.

Now that things have come to an end, we've gained a foothold.

He wanted to go back and check how the mountain produce was going.

More importantly, look at his Xiulan.

After saying goodbye to Li Aiguo, Lu Qingshan got on his bicycle and rode home in the afterglow of the setting sun.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Li Erniu pacing anxiously around the yard. When he saw him return, it was as if he had seen a savior.

"Brother Qingshan! You're finally back!"

Lu Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.

"What happened?"

Li Erniu stamped his foot, his face turning red with anxiety.

"The road we use to transport mountain goods to the county town is blocked by stones by people from the neighboring village near the mountain!"

"They declared that it was their village's territory, and if you wanted to pass through there..."

"We have to pay the toll!"
