Chapter 406: Borrowing a Car

After eating the noodles, Li Yi went to check out, but he didn't expect that the owner of the noodle shop said he wouldn't take money. He obviously recognized Li Yi.

"Boss Li, you'd better take this money back! I really can't accept it!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Don't call me boss, big brother. It's all a small business. I'm also a businessman. It's my duty to help the villagers. It's natural to pay for food. No special treatment is required!"

As a result, the noodle shop owner smiled and said, "Here in our hometown, if we charge your money, it will be like lightning!"

"As long as everyone in the town knows that you have eaten noodles at my place, I can earn more than what you paid for this meal! If I take your money again, won't I get stabbed in the spine?"

Li Yi's persuasion failed, so he had to take the money back, and Wei Sanpao looked at each other with a helpless smile before leaving the noodle shop.

This boss is so eloquent. No wonder Qi Rong said that southerners are really good at doing business! It’s hard to fault everywhere!

"Let's get ready when we get back. Let's go to the construction site on the outskirts of the city right away!"

Wei Sanpao nodded. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. All he had to do was find a means of transportation.

But there are no cars in this town! This is not like thirty years later. No matter how easy life is for people in small towns, they still can’t afford private cars!

The two of them searched around the town, but couldn't find a single home with a car!

This place is still far from the outskirts of the city. If we go there by donkey cart, we don’t know how long it will take!

Moreover, the big truck that had just arrived to transport supplies had already left. After all, it still had to transport goods, and there were serious things to do, so it couldn't be delayed.

The two of them didn't find any means of transportation along the way, only 28 big bars, but they couldn't go to the city on bicycles, right?

When he returned to the mayor's house, Li Yi directly found Chen Ruqing.

"Mayor, are there any means of transportation in the town? We plan to go to a nearby construction site..."

Chen Ruqing understood immediately and said with a smile: "Looking for a car, right? I know where to find one! The police station in the town!"

Police station?

yes! How could you forget this?

The police station must have a car!

Chen Ruqing said with a smile: "There is a 212 from the police station. Although it is not comparable to the cars you have taken, it is indeed the only and most convenient means of transportation in the town!"

The 212 became popular as a police car in the 1980s. Although nearly ten years have passed, the quality of the 212 is still unquestionable.

Besides, in this current situation, having a 212 is not bad!

"Okay, then let's go find the people from the police station!"

Chen Ruqing also put down what he was doing and said:

"I'll take you there. The director of the police station is an old friend of mine. It will save you trouble if I go and talk to him!"

Li Yi was naturally happy to hear it, and the two of them were afraid that others would not borrow it!

The police station in the town has about seven or eight regular police officers. It is a small town after all, and there are five or six auxiliary police officers. These people can fully take on the task of maintaining public order. When the villagers live in the train station, Someone from the police station came to inquire about the situation, and later helped the villagers move. The police officers were also very enthusiastic.

These police officers are all local residents, and naturally they are very concerned about the villagers in the backing villages who are encountering difficulties.

The police station is very quiet at the moment. The policemen on duty are sorting out information and checking the population information. Because the villagers of Kaoshan Village are also within the jurisdiction of the town, the connection of this information is very important. At least it must be clear. , whose home these villagers live in a small town is much better than asking from door to door if there is a problem.

When the policeman on guard saw it was Chen Ruqing, he just saluted and did not stop him.

Chen Ruqing often played chess with the director before, and he was also the mayor of the town. The police knew him well. Moreover, the mayor often gave benefits to the police during the holidays, so all the police officers were very fond of this mayor. The look and feel are very good.

"Xiao Wang, it's your class today. Is Lao Zhang here?"

The policeman on duty, known as Xiao Wang, smiled and replied: "Yes, Uncle Chen, the director is in the office!"

Chen Ruqing smiled and nodded and walked towards the police station.

The police station is actually a two-story building with a large yard. The first floor is used for offices, and the second floor is basically a dormitory. Some police officers who live outside the local area live directly in the police station.

The remaining police officers are either on duty at night or go home to rest. Generally, there are about seven or eight police officers.

Chen Ruqing smiled and greeted the police officers along the way. They were obviously old acquaintances.

Arriving at the director's office with ease, Chen Ruqing knocked on the door and walked in.

"Old Zhang, I have something to ask you!"

The layout of the office is very simple. Two pots of flowers on the ground take up most of the space, followed by a sofa, a coffee table, a filing cabinet, and a simple two-layer bookshelf filled with documents.

The desk is not big, it only has a phone, and the rest are document bags.

The director, known as Lao Zhang, was holding a document in his hand and reading it carefully while wearing glasses. When he heard Chen Ruqing's voice, he put the document down and said in a bad tone:

"Weasel pays New Year's greetings to Rooster! He goes to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason! Tell me, why are you here to see me?"

Chen Ruqing didn't mind after hearing this, and said with a smile:

"Give us your precious 212, we are in urgent need of it!"

Lao Zhang took off his glasses, put them back in the case politely, and said with a serious face:

"Then you have to give me a purpose. How can I let you drive a police car out for no reason? This is not in line with the rules at all!"

Chen Ruqing didn't show any concern at all. He walked up to Director Zhang with a smile and said:

"Let me introduce to you, this is Boss Li Yi, and that is Boss Li's friend, Wei Zhenguo. They are planning to build roads in Tongcun Village! But landslides have blocked all the roads into the mountains. I am There is no other way. I want to go to a construction site in the city and rent some machines..."

After hearing this, Director Zhang understood what Chen Ruqing meant!

"What are you talking about? These two young men want to pay for road construction?"

Lao Zhang's eyes widened immediately. These two young men together were not even as old as him. How could they build a road? Where did the money come from?

"Don't be kidding me, little kid, you two don't think you can build a road just by spending hundreds or thousands of dollars, right? This is not playing house!"

Li Yi suddenly twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. Indeed, generally young people of this age have just come out of college. They can do anything when they are enthusiastic, but the problem is...

They are not just stupid young people, okay?
