Chapter 151 Need a Truck
Reading Settings
"My dad? I understand." Lu Qingfeng seemed to have thought of something and signed his name without hesitation.
Xiao Chen thought they needed to negotiate a bit more, since 200,000 was no small sum. If they really had these things, it would be enough to cover the living expenses of Fu'an District for several months.
"I want to see when this batch of supplies will arrive..." Lu Qingfeng wanted to keep a close eye on things so that Uncle Zhang wouldn't be deceived.
"Fill those two empty warehouses at the Grain Bureau in the next few days. I'll let you know when the goods arrive." Director Zhang happily took the order to the finance department to ask for the money.
He has already had the baskets and grain sacks sent to the warehouse, and they will be delivered there as soon as he receives the money.
Director Zhang came and went in a hurry, without even noticing He Caiwei sitting on the sofa.
After Director Zhang left, He Caiwei also wanted to leave. She had come to see her father, but had been inexplicably brought to his office. It was almost time to leave work, and she still needed her father to get her a truck.
"Where are we going?" Lu Qingfeng, quick-witted and agile, grabbed the person and hugged them.
"Go find Dad. I came here to find Dad." He Caiwei didn't care about him at all; her brother was becoming more and more unethical.
“Why would I need my uncle? I can do what my uncle can do, so it’s the same if you ask me…” Lu Qingfeng hadn’t finished speaking when he was pinched again.
"I need to borrow a truck from Dad. Do you have a truck I can lend you?"
Lu Qingfeng was speechless. The transportation department was under his uncle's jurisdiction, and he didn't have a car to borrow.
"What do you need the truck for? Why don't you ask your uncle to find someone to help you transport it?" Lu Qingfeng still couldn't guess that the things Director Zhang wanted were things that his wife could bring, but he vaguely knew that they had something to do with his wife.
"Where do you think Uncle Zhang got those supplies?" He Caiwei stared at him with a half-smile, knowing that he had already guessed something. She didn't intend to hide it from him; the supplies came from her, but she wouldn't tell him where she got them.
"I understand. Be careful. If there's anything dangerous, you don't have to leave it. You can't get hurt." Lu Qingfeng nodded. He never asked the little girl where these things came from.
There are some things he can't know, and knowing more isn't necessarily a good thing.
"I understand, there won't be any danger." He Caiwei let him pull her downstairs; her father's office was downstairs.
The office was located in a four-story office building. Lu Qingfeng's floor was the highest. Although it looked a bit dilapidated from the outside, the interior decoration seemed to be newly done, and it didn't match the exterior at all.
When they got to the second floor, they found his father's office. Just then, his father finished packing up and was getting ready to leave work.
He Caiwei glanced around and realized that they had been in Lu Qingfeng's office for almost an hour.
"Honey, what brings you here? Is there something else? Or are you here to pick up your dad from get off work?" Lu Zhiheng looked at his daughter and teased her with a smile.
"Dad, I need a truck for two days. Can you get one for me?" He Caiwei looked at her father, whose eyes were smiling, and made her request with a smile.
"How big do you want? What kind do you want? Or we can go to the car fleet and you can choose one yourself." Lu Zhiheng spoiled his daughter without any principles, and didn't even ask her what she wanted the car for, just let her choose it herself.
"Alright, let's go now." He Caiwei smiled, took her father's hand, and followed him outside.
"By the way, when are you starting work? You need to go through the onboarding process, right?" Lu Zhiheng didn't even know when his daughter was starting work.
"Today is Saturday, and I'll go there on Monday. It's near the textile factory." He Caiwei had already confirmed her work schedule, so she planned to use these two days to help Director Zhang organize and move all the goods out.
"Do you want the bicycle? Or I'll buy you a new one." Lu Zhiheng was thinking that his daughter was going to work soon, so he wanted to get her some things.
"No, a ten-minute walk is good exercise. Why ride a bicycle when it's so close? If it rains, I'll just take the bus, it's only two stops." He Caiwei had no intention of buying a bicycle. If she walked faster, this ten-minute walk would take less than ten minutes.
She considers this daily commute as exercise, and there's a bus stop right outside her door. If it rains and she doesn't want to walk, taking the bus for two stops is only a matter of minutes.
"Fine, whatever makes you happy." Lu Zhiheng was also helpless. This girl used to stay up quite late, why has she become so diligent now?
Lu Qingfeng is provided with a car, but he feels the distance is relatively short, so he always walks. He only drives if he needs to leave Fu'an District.
The convoy was not far from the office building, less than a 10-minute walk. Lu Zhiheng could take his daughter there on his bicycle in just a few minutes.
Currently, there are 10 large trucks and 12 extra-large trucks in the entire Fu'an District. The two types of trucks travel on different routes. These 10 ordinary large trucks generally travel nearby because they do not carry a lot of goods, so they are only used for delivering goods in the surrounding area.
The 12 extra-large trucks are mainly used to transport goods across provinces, so that they can carry more at once.
"Daughter, which one do you want?" Lu Zhiheng told his daughter to choose for herself.
"We have a lot of stuff this time, so let's get a big one. We don't need a driver, I'll drive myself." He Caiwei picked a bigger one, even though it would only be a short ride, she still felt it was necessary.
"Alright, why don't you go up and try it out first?" Lu Qingfeng felt a little embarrassed seeing Lu Zhiheng's unconditional trust in his daughter.
Why doesn't his uncle think about whether this little girl can really drive? And how can a little girl like her control such a big truck?
He Caiwei picked out a car, took the keys and started working right away. People in the convoy who hadn't finished get off work yet came out to watch. This daughter of Minister Lu is really bold. She looks like a delicate and weak little girl, but she dares to take the keys and start working right away on such a big car.
Minister Lu was really bold; one dared to drive and the other dared to ride in the car. The father and daughter drove off like that, leaving Lu Qingfeng standing there bewildered in the wind, holding his bicycle.
"District Chief, could you please sign this? It was originally supposed to be signed by Minister Lu, but as you can see, Minister Lu has already left..." Chen Weimin, the current captain of the transportation team, came over with a form for him to sign.
This car isn't for public use; it requires the Minister of Transport's signature to be driven out. This meant Lu Zhiheng needed to sign it, but Lu Zhiheng got too excited and just followed his daughter. Chen Weimin had no choice but to ask the district head to condescend and sign it.
Lu Qingfeng took the form, looked at it, and after confirming that it was a form for lending out the car, he signed it and then rode his bicycle home.
When he got home, his uncle was already there, but the girl wasn't there, and the car wasn't parked at the door.
"Qingfeng's back, come and eat first. Weiwei won't be eating at home tonight." He Yuping quickly invited the family to come and eat when she saw that everyone was there.
Her daughter went to gather supplies, and there was food in the space, so she wasn't worried about her daughter going hungry.
