Siheyuan: abandoning moral qualities and enjoying an immoral life

"Let's go, take me to the factory first. I've already arranged for the driver's license, and I'll be there in a moment."

……

Around nine o'clock, the person in charge of the assessment came over. He was from the Transportation Department. Let's call him Examiner Zhao.

The Transportation Section is under the Logistics Department, which happens to be under the jurisdiction of Deputy Director Li, so the people who came to conduct the assessment were very friendly.

The first thing to be tested is the theory. Examiner Zhao asked Wang Hongtao a question and asked him to answer it. The theory is a question that you have to answer from beginning to end. It is not as simple as the multiple-choice questions today. You can only take the road test after passing the theory.

Originally, examiner Zhao arranged for Wang Hongtao to drive Director Li's jeep during the road test. However, Wang Hongtao thought that the salary would be higher if he took the test on a large car, so he chose to take both the large and small car tests.

Examiner Zhao was not worried about the inspection of the car. After all, the jeep was driven back by Wang Hongtao, so there must be no problem.

However, after taking the small car test, Wang Hongtao applied for the large car test, which confused Examiner Zhao.

"Xiao Wang, why don't you reconsider this? This big car is not like a small car. Without a few years of practice, you won't even be able to turn the steering wheel."

"Besides driving, if there is any minor problem with the car, you have to fix it yourself."

Examiner Zhao gave a kind reminder.

"It's okay, Examiner Zhao. Just trust me. I will definitely pass the test."

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking Zhao Nanping's defense. The defense breaking level is E level. 2 perspective points are obtained. Additional reward: None]

Wow, this can also be rewarding?

Wang Hongtao looked at Examiner Zhao with ill intention: I'm sorry, Examiner Zhao!

Examiner Zhao felt a little nervous when Wang Hongtao looked at him:

"What's wrong, Xiao Wang? Why are you staring at me?"

"Master Zhao, everyone says that you have great skills. I'm from the Transportation Department. Today is the first time I drive such a big truck. How about you help me out?"

"this…."

"Don't worry, Master Zhao. I'm just a newbie and can't even speed up. I just want you to sit next to me so that you can feel safe and secure!"

.......

After Wang Hongtao's flattery, Master Zhao sat in the passenger seat of the magnifying card.

"Xiao Wang, you better be careful. If this truck gets damaged, neither of us can afford it!"

"Don't worry, Master Zhao, just watch out!"

As Wang Hongtao spoke, he walked to the front of the truck, inserted the key into the crank and fiddled with it for a while, and the car started with a "boom boom boom".

That’s right, the car key is that Z-shaped metal rocker. If you don’t have enough strength, you can’t even start the car.

After the car started, Wang Hongtao jumped into it, which had a row of seats similar to a hard sofa.

At that time, the Jiefang had many shortcomings besides the large steering wheel resistance, poor shock absorption, and no seat belts. After a trip, the steering and clutch would make you exhausted, and your whole body would ache at the end of the day.

Zhao Nanping: "The truck assessment is divided into several parts: reversing into a garage, driving on a curve, and starting uphill..."

“Bang, bang…”

Before Zhao Nanping could finish speaking, Wang Hongtao had already started the car skillfully.

"Ahem, not bad. At your age, being able to successfully start a truck is already..."

"Fuck, slow down...!"

Wang Hongtao started the car suddenly and almost threw Zhao Nanping out of the car. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the handguard above his head to stabilize his body.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Hongtao steered the wheel left and right, and managed to run the entire S-shaped track at a speed of 40 mph.

Finally, Wang Hongtao stopped the car and said, "How is it, Master Zhao? Is my S-curve running acceptable? I don't know if you can see it clearly. If not, I can demonstrate it again. This time I will try to do it in reverse!"

"No, no, your cornering skills are better than mine. You pass, absolutely pass!"

Zhao Nanping thought that he had managed to hold it in so hard not to vomit. If it happened the other way around, he would probably die!

After the S-curve, the car was backed into the parking space. Wang Hongtao performed an instant conversion of the accelerator, brake and clutch without stopping the steering wheel.

Zhao Nanping was stunned by this series of operations. The old Jiefang car in front of him was produced more than ten years ago, and there were many anti-human designs in it that even he could not tolerate.

For example, when changing gears, you have to step on the clutch and the accelerator at the same time. The key is that both the clutch and the brake are difficult to step on, which is even more terrifying than going to the gym to practice rally.

It's okay if you don't change gears for a long time, but if you switch gears continuously like Wang Hongtao, your feet will never stop, switching the accelerator, brake and clutch back and forth. Your feet are really busier than a pianist's fingers.

The key is that he is heavy and can't see! He also has to coordinate the steering wheel and gear shifting!

The clutch and brake are difficult to operate, and the same is true for the steering wheel. The old Jiefang truck does not have power steering, so you really have to rely on your own arm strength to turn the wheels. Therefore, truck drivers without exception have developed a pair of strong arms.

Wang Hongtao was already quite strong to begin with, and with his full-level driving skills and the effects of the Xiao Huan Dan, the steering wheel with huge stress spun like a toy in his hands.

While Wang Hongtao was having fun, Zhao Nanping was suffering. He was thrown from one end of the passenger seat to the other and then back to this end, feeling dizzy.

"Examiner Zhao, how do you think I drive? Is it steady enough? I can reverse into the parking space at a speed of 20 mph without crossing the line!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Zhao Nanping looked at Wang Hongtao's smug look and wanted to slap him twice! I, a driver examiner, almost vomited because of you, and you call this stable?

Originally, I came to evaluate Wang Hongtao in order to give him some leeway to curry favor with Director Li, but he didn't look like he needed to give any leeway at all. He was even more extravagant than the Russian driver!

"Examiner Zhao, do I still need to be tested when getting in the car and starting off?" Wang Hongtao asked considerately.

Examiner Zhao quickly shook his head: "No, no, I guarantee that your skills are absolutely fine!"

"So I passed the test?!"

"Forget it, forget it! Get out of here right now, kid. I get angry just looking at you!"

"Remember to take those two one-inch photos later!"

"Thank you, Master Zhao. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free."

After saying that, Wang Hongtao stuffed a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes into his pocket, which cost him 33 cents.

Zhao Nanping took it, then waved his hand at Wang Hongtao with disdain, signaling him to leave quickly.

In such a hurry, Zhao Nanping forgot to check even the basic faults of the truck.

At that time, if the car had a problem, people would basically do minor repairs by themselves, so the driver's level could be seen from the side based on the quality of his car repair skills.

Since examiner Zhao hadn't asked Wang Hongtao, he naturally wouldn't remind him, because he had something important to do right now:

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking Zhao Nanping's defense. The defense breaking level is B. You will get 20 perspective points. Additional reward: basic vehicle maintenance]

"That's not right, Brother Tongzi. They are both B-level, but why did Qin Jingru give 60 points, while Zhao Nanping only got 20 points? Where did the remaining 40 points go? Did you swallow them?"

Before Wang Hongtao had time to be happy, he discovered a serious problem. Although he said that he had no lack of perspective, but he should at least tell me after swallowing you, right?

"Qin Jingru is the main supporting character in the play, so the reward for breaking the defense is naturally higher. If the host wants to obtain more perspective points and special rewards, please refer to the main characters in the play."

What this means is that for the same level of defense, the protagonist is worth more than the supporting role? This makes sense. For the same number of episodes, the pay of a big star is naturally higher than that of a supporting role.

But if this happens, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiaoe, and all the neighbors in Yard 95, you're going to suffer a lot!

All villains?

Skillful!

I have seen so many evil people, and you are not even on my list. The key is that I know everything about you!

……

Chapter 7 specifically requests to live in Yard 95, where leeks flourish!

"Have you finished the exam? How was your score? Did you pass?"

"Yes, I passed. I also took the truck driver's license test." Wang Hongtao said calmly:

"Master Zhao asked me to send the one-inch photo over, and he will take care of the rest."

"There's no rush for the photos. It doesn't matter if you send them later. I'll help you solve the accommodation problem now while I have time."

"How about it? Do you have a favorite place? Do you want a factory dormitory or a tube building?"

"It's a little difficult, but it's not a big problem for me. I can do it with a little effort."

"Director Li, I don't want either the factory dormitory or the tube building!"

"Where do you want to live? A small detached house? No, no... I can't help you with that. I myself was only assigned such a small house after I became the deputy director of the factory..."

"Director Li, you misunderstood. I meant to just arrange a courtyard house for me to live in. There's no need to go through so much trouble!"

Wang Hongtao interrupted Li Huaide as he saw that his words were getting more and more outrageous. If he continued, they would have to live in ZhongXhai!

"Siheyuan? Are you saying you want to live in a Siheyuan?" Li Huaide looked incredulous. Are there still people who don't want to live in a tube-shaped building and prefer to live in a Siheyuan these days?

So fresh!

You should know that the tube-shaped buildings have heating in winter and electric fans in summer. There are toilets every few steps. The better ones even have one or two bathrooms. It is so comfortable!

What about the Siheyuan?

There is no heating, so if you feel cold you have to light the stove yourself.

Want to use an electric fan? You had to ask your neighbors first, because at that time the electricity bill was shared by the number of light bulbs. How would you calculate the electricity bill if you bought an electric fan?

Moreover, you have to go to the public toilet outside to use the toilet. Even the dirty water has to be poured into the waste bucket first, and then poured outside when there is too much. It can be said that it is inconvenient in every way!

Li Huaide had never heard of such an outrageous request in his life, instead of living in a tube-shaped building, he wanted to live in a courtyard house!

"Yes, Director Li. Not only do I want to live in a courtyard house, but I also want to live in the courtyard house at No. 95 Nanluoguo Lane. As for the specific reason, please don't ask. Just consider it as satisfying my personal wish."

Wang Hongtao: I have to go. It would be more uncomfortable to leave so many rewards there without taking them than to put a eunuch in the palace.

"Okay, if you want to live in a courtyard house, it would save me a lot of trouble!"

"No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, right? Let me see if anyone is available first."

"Xiao Zhang, find out the information about the residents of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang so I can have a look."

Xiao Zhang is the secretary of Deputy Factory Director Li, a young man of about 27 or 28 years old. He is obviously a capable person and found the file in no time.

"Deputy Director Li, this is the information about No. 95 Nanluoguxiang." Secretary Zhang added this after handing over the file.

Well, his ability to handle affairs is good, but his interpersonal relationships need to be improved. If he can't change, this is the end of his life.

Li Huaide was already used to it. He took the file and looked through it carefully: "There are two empty rooms in the front yard, but they are not connected. The area is a bit small, which is not good."

"The one in the middle courtyard is a bit bigger, about 20 square meters, but it's not good to have only one room."

"The one in the backyard is pretty good. There are three rooms connected to the west. This is the one!"

"Hongtao, what do you think of these three rooms? They are connected, and the total area is fifty square meters. If you like them, I will give them all to you."

"I remember this house. It's in the northwest corner. If you like it, I can help you contact the street office and ask them to approve the change of drainage. This way, sewage can go directly outside the wall and be discharged directly outside!"

Li Huaide pointed at the file and explained to Wang Hongtao.

"Who owns this house?"

"Don't even think about who owns the house. Unless it's a deed passed down from your ancestors before the founding of the country, otherwise it's all public property."

"Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong from the backyard, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu from the middle yard all rent their houses. However, because they work in the steel mill, the rent is a symbolic penny, and they can live in the house as long as they work."

"If you like, I can sign you for a few more years. Let's sign for 20 years. Any more will be inconsequential. If you feel comfortable living here, I'll renew it for you in a few years."

Since he had decided to use Wang Hongtao, Li Huaide would naturally not be stingy and would directly give him the maximum benefits.

"Thank you, Director Li."

For Li Huaide, this was just a matter of nodding, but for Wang Hongtao it was different, this was a real benefit!

I heard that the factory has no say over the houses in the yard? Is it allocated by the masters?

Wang Hongtao wanted to see how arrogant the three uncles were.

"Director Li, when do you plan to use the car? How about I take some photos first?"

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I'll go home by myself after get off work. You can just come to my house and pick me up on Monday."

"How can that be? I have to take you home after get off work!"

"Really? I'm going to ride my bike home today. You should also try to solve the house problem in the next two days. Buy what you need and replace what you need."

"By the way, do you have enough money? If not, I'll take it first."
