Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1102 Action again

Zhou Xiaolan's eyes were full of determination. She stared at Shi Mao closely and said firmly, "Shi Mao, I don't want to do that kind of thing again. Those were all the absurd days in the past. Now I just want to live a good life with you and live a stable life. You must reject Zhong Yuemin and have no involvement with him anymore."

Shi Mao felt conflicted after hearing what Zhou Xiaolan said. On the one hand, he felt that what Zhou Xiaolan said made sense, and they should not get caught up in the past. But on the other hand, the temptation of the hundred yuan was too great, and he was still reluctant to give it up.

"Xiaolan, but that hundred dollars..." Shi Mao tried to persuade Zhou Xiaolan.

"No buts!" Zhou Xiaolan interrupted Shi Mao, "Shi Mao, we can earn money slowly, but we can't go down the wrong path again. We have to create a life through our own efforts, not through such dishonorable means."

Shi Mao looked at Zhou Xiaolan's stubbornness, and dissatisfaction gradually welled up in his heart. He felt that Zhou Xiaolan did not understand his difficulties, and did not understand what the 100 yuan meant to them.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Shi Mao said angrily, "That one hundred yuan can solve many of our problems and make our lives much easier. Can't you think about our future?"

Zhou Xiaolan was also angered by Shi Mao's attitude. She said with red eyes: "Shi Mao, how can you say that? I am doing this for our own good. Do you want me to go back to the miserable days of the past? Do you love me or the hundred dollars?"

Shi Mao lost his patience at this time.

"If you don't agree, then we won't get married."

Zhou Xiaolan was stunned when she heard what Shi Mao said. She stared at Shi Mao with eyes wide open, and gradually tears filled her eyes.

"Shi Mao, how can you say that? How can you threaten me with marriage?" Zhou Xiaolan's voice trembled, full of pain and grievance.

Shi Mao's face was not looking good either. He was also full of contradictions and struggles in his heart, but the temptation of the 100 yuan was too great for him to give up easily. "Xiao Lan, I don't want this either, but this is our chance. As long as you agree, we can have 100 yuan and our lives will be much better."

Zhou Xiaolan smiled sadly, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Shi Mao, don't you really understand? I don't want to go back to the life I had before. I just want to live a peaceful life with you. But now you force me to do something I don't want to do just for money."

She slowly lowered her head and looked at her hands, as if she saw the ridiculous self in the past.

Zhou Xiaolan stood there quietly, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her eyes were empty and helpless, and her heart was filled with despair.

Shi Mao felt sorry for Zhou Xiaolan's miserable appearance, but when he thought of the 100 yuan, he hardened his heart. "Xiaolan, please agree. This is our chance, we can't miss it." Shi Mao persuaded again.

Zhou Xiaolan slowly raised her head and looked at Shi Mao, her eyes full of helplessness and sadness. She knew that she had no choice. In order to save her marriage with Shi Mao and for their future, she could only reluctantly agree.

"Okay, I promise you." Zhou Xiaolan's voice was weak and trembling, as if she had used up all her strength.

Shi Mao showed a hint of joy on his face, but he also knew the pain in Zhou Xiaolan's heart. He walked up to her, hugged her gently, and said, "Xiaolan, I'm sorry, I'm doing this for our own good. When this is over, we will live a good life."

The next day, the sun shone through the clouds, but it could not dispel the haze in Zhou Xiaolan's heart. She came to the place where she had agreed to meet Zhong Yuemin with a solemn look on her face.

As soon as she saw Zhong Yuemin, Zhou Xiaolan's eyes burned with anger. She pointed at Zhong Yuemin and cursed: "Zhong Yuemin, you are shameless! How could you come up with such a sinister trick?"

Zhong Yuemin, however, didn't care, and raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile. "Zhou Xiaolan, what's so shameless about this? This is just a small trick. As long as you cooperate, everything will go smoothly."

Zhou Xiaolan was so angry that she was shaking all over. She wanted to rush up and slap Zhong Yuemin. But she knew that she had no way out now.

Zhong Yuemin looked at Zhou Xiaolan's angry expression, but he was not angry. He continued, "Zhou Xiaolan, listen carefully. Wang Weidong is the director of the Lanhua Automobile Factory. You just wait at the factory gate. When he drives out, you rush out and pretend to be hit by the car. Then take the opportunity to build a relationship with him."

Zhou Xiaolan gritted her teeth, her eyes full of disgust. "Zhong Yuemin, you've really gone too far. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Zhong Yuemin burst into laughter, as if he had just heard a great joke. "Retribution? I, Zhong Yuemin, have never been afraid of retribution. As long as I can achieve my goal, I can do anything."

Zhou Xiaolan looked at Zhong Yuemin's arrogant appearance, and her heart was filled with despair. She knew that she had fallen into a trap from which she could not escape. But she could only helplessly accept the arrangement of fate and do as Zhong Yuemin asked.

The next morning, when the sky was still slightly pale and the whole city seemed to be still immersed in the tranquility of the previous night and had not yet fully awakened, Zhou Xiaolan had already arrived at the gate of the Lanhua Automobile Factory.

Her figure seemed somewhat lonely and helpless in the cold morning breeze. Zhou Xiaolan wrapped her thin clothes tightly around her body, her eyes full of nervousness and anxiety. She looked into the car factory from time to time, her heart full of uneasiness.

She didn't know what she was about to face, nor did she know whether the plan could go smoothly. But for Shi Mao and their future, she could only bite the bullet and stay here.

Occasionally, a few workers who got up early to go to work passed by the car factory. They looked at Zhou Xiaolan curiously, but did not ask any more questions. Zhou Xiaolan tried her best to look natural and did not want to attract other people's attention.

As time went by, Zhou Xiaolan became more and more nervous. She kept praying in her heart, hoping that everything would go according to Zhong Yuemin's plan and that there would be no accidents.

At this time, in the meeting room of Lanhua Automobile Factory, Wang Weidong was sitting in the main seat with a serious face. He looked at each workshop director sharply and said in a steady and powerful voice: "The product quality of our factory is our lifeline. We must strictly control the quality and cannot relax at all."

The workshop directors straightened their backs and said solemnly, "Director Wang, don't worry, we will not delay anything. We will strictly follow the standards to ensure product quality."

A workshop director with gray hair spoke first: "Director Wang, our workshop has always put quality first, and every link has a dedicated person to check. We will continue to strengthen management to ensure that there are no quality problems."

Another younger workshop director also added: "Yes, we will increase the training of employees and improve their quality awareness. At the same time, we will also strengthen the inspection of raw materials to ensure product quality from the source."

Wang Weidong nodded slightly, with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. Just kidding, he came to this era to do something big, and he would never delay his big career for a little profit.

After the meeting, the door of the conference room was gently pushed open, and Yu Li walked in with steady steps. She had a professional smile on her face, and her eyes revealed competence and confidence.

"Director Wang, the department wants to invite you to a meeting." Yu Li reported concisely and clearly.

Wang Weidong nodded slightly, his expression calm. He stood up, straightened his clothes, and then said to everyone: "Everyone continue to implement the work according to the requirements of the meeting. I'm going to the department for a meeting."

The workshop directors nodded one after another, saying they would definitely follow through. Wang Weidong turned and walked out of the meeting room and came to his office. He picked up his briefcase and called the driver.

After a while, the driver drove the car to the front of the office building. Wang Weidong walked down the stairs quickly and got into the back seat of the car. The driver closed the door respectfully, then returned to the driver's seat and started the car.

The car slowly drove out of the factory and drove forward along the wide road. Wang Weidong sat in the car and closed his eyes slightly.

It’s tiring. Being a factory manager is really tiring.

At this time, Zhou Xiaolan, who was guarding the factory gate, didn't know that Wang Weidong had already left the factory in a car. She waited nervously, feeling anxious and expectant.

At this time, the factory gate slowly opened and a black car slowly drove out. Zhou Xiaolan's heart instantly rose to her throat. She stared at the car nervously, her hands clenched into fists.

As the car got closer, Zhou Xiaolan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and rushed over. Her figure appeared in front of the car in an instant like an arrow from a bow.

The driver was shocked when he saw Zhou Xiaolan suddenly rushing out. He stepped on the brakes in a hurry, but because the distance was too close, he still hit Zhou Xiaolan.

Zhou Xiaolan felt a huge force hitting her body, and her body flew backwards involuntarily. Then she fell heavily to the ground. Her head was buzzing and her eyes were blurred.

Wang Weidong was sitting in the back seat of the car, immersed in his thoughts, when the sudden emergency brake made his body lean forward. He frowned, feeling a little unhappy, and was about to ask the driver what happened.

Before he could speak, the driver turned around in a panic, his face as pale as paper. "Director Wang, it's bad, we hit someone." The driver's voice was trembling, full of fear and anxiety.

Wang Weidong's expression suddenly became serious, and a hint of surprise and worry flashed in his eyes. "What happened? How did he bump into someone?" he asked anxiously.

The driver tried to calm himself down and reported what happened stutteringly. "I don't know where that person came from. When I saw her, it was too late to brake. Director Wang, I really didn't mean it." The driver's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He knew the seriousness of the matter.

Wang Weidong was silent for a moment, then he opened the door and got out. He came to the front of the car and saw Zhou Xiaolan lying on the ground.

He felt a headache. What was going on these days? He almost bumped into Qin Huairu a while ago, but this time he actually bumped into a girl.

Wang Weidong looked at Zhou Xiaolan lying on the ground, his heart full of worry, his brows furrowed tightly, and he decisively said to the driver: "Hurry up and send her to the hospital for a check-up to make sure she is okay. This is not a trivial matter. If there is any serious injury that is not treated in time, the consequences will be disastrous."

The driver nodded quickly and rushed forward to help Zhou Xiaolan up. However, just as the driver's hand was about to touch Zhou Xiaolan, Zhou Xiaolan suddenly struggled to sit up, with a panicked look on her face. "I'm fine, no need to go to the hospital." She waved her hands vigorously and said anxiously, her voice trembling violently, as if she was filled with fear.

Wang Weidong and the driver were stunned. They looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Zhou Xiaolan's reaction was really strange. She was hit by a car, but she refused to go to the hospital so resolutely. This really made people suspicious.

Zhou Xiaolan also realized that her behavior was a bit suspicious, and she hurriedly tried to explain, with a flash of panic in her eyes. "It's really nothing, just a little scrape, no need to go to the hospital. I can go back and apply some medicine and I'll be fine." As she spoke, she tried to stand up, but her body swayed slightly, obviously she was injured, not just a little scrape as she said.

Wang Weidong felt more and more that something was wrong. He stepped forward, his expression serious, and said firmly: "No, we must go to the hospital for a check-up. This is not something you can decide. What if there are any hidden injuries that have not been discovered, and there are serious problems in the future?"

Zhou Xiaolan's eyes were full of resistance. She lowered her head, not daring to look into Wang Weidong's eyes, as if she was deliberately avoiding something. "Really, there's no need. I have something urgent to do and can't go to the hospital. Please don't send me to the hospital." Her tone was full of stubbornness, even a hint of pleading.

Wang Weidong and the driver looked at each other, and they both saw deep suspicion in each other's eyes. This woman's behavior was so abnormal that people had to suspect that she had some ulterior motive. Wang Weidong decided to stabilize Zhou Xiaolan first, and then slowly investigate the matter.

"Since you insist on not going to the hospital, I'll have someone send you home. Where do you live?" Wang Weidong asked, staring at Zhou Xiaolan, trying to see some clues from her expression.

Zhou Xiaolan hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "No, no need."

Wang Weidong looked at Zhou Xiaolan's suspicious look, and his doubts grew deeper and deeper. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Liu Changyi!"

After a while, Liu Changyi came running over and asked nervously, "Director Wang, what do you want?"

Wang Weidong pointed at Zhou Xiaolan with a sharp look in his eyes and said, "Take the security officer and arrest this woman. I think she is very suspicious and we must investigate her thoroughly."

Liu Changyi was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and nodded in response: "Yes, Director Wang." He turned around and quickly summoned the security officers, and soon, several security officers in uniform arrived at the scene.

They walked towards Zhou Xiaolan without hesitation. Zhou Xiaolan panicked and her face turned pale. "What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" she shouted in fear.

Liu Changyi said seriously, "Your behavior is suspicious. Director Wang asked us to arrest you and investigate. Be honest and follow us."
