"How can a car factory possibly make kettles?"
Xia Ping's words were immediately met with nods from his entourage. Did the other party's excuse show too little respect for them?
"You idiot, who says a car factory can't make kettles? And not just any kettle, but an electric kettle! I've already explained it so clearly, are you stupid?" m..oΓg
Xiao Li pouted, feeling there was no point in continuing to argue with these people.
"Here's an address, it's their direct sales store. It opens tomorrow, you can go and see for yourselves then."
Xiao Li directly handed them a discount shopping voucher with the address written on the back.
He had thought quickly just now and quietly asked the young lady for more.
Perhaps because he looked handsome, the young lady even gave him another 10 or so, which he could use to curry favor with people in his department. Now, he'd use one to get rid of these crazy people.
Tsk tsk, speaking of which, should he ask the young lady out for a movie later? No, he didn't even know her name yet, that would be too rash…
Of course, he didn't know that the young lady was following Wang Yu's strategy and had given several extra vouchers to pretty much everyone.
Lost in a pleasant daydream, Xiao Li walked away whistling, leaving the bewildered group from the Mechanical Industry Association.
Bending down to pick up the discount voucher Xiao Li had dropped, Xia Ping let out a cold laugh.
"Alright then, tomorrow we'll go and see what tricks they're up to. Let's go!"
...
Wang Yu and his people arrived at the Public Security Bureau.
They were there to deliver the donated fuel-assisted bicycles and also to pick up Wei Liangyong and the others who had gotten into a fight yesterday.
As a mover and errand boy, Brother Hu was observant and led Wang Yu to the county Public Security Bureau.
He had been here many times before and knew the way to the entrance better than his own home.
However, this was the first time he wasn't here because he had committed an offense. Moreover, he was riding a new fuel-assisted bicycle, attracting many curious glances along the way, making him feel quite proud.
"Captain Miao, these are our fuel-assisted bicycles," Wang Yu said, greeting Miao Wanli, with whom he had interacted before.
"Oh, Little Wang," Miao Wanli smiled at Wang Yu, his expression somewhat solemn.
"You're here to pick up your people? Just go through the procedures. I kept those young men locked up for the night and then arranged for them to have a thought-education session. They should be much more obedient now."
Miao Wanli said distractedly to Wang Yu, then turned to lead him to collect his people.
"Yes, Captain Miao, these are the fuel-assisted bicycles we're donating," Wang Yu pointed to the row of fuel-assisted bicycles behind him.
"I've reported to the secretary, and we're donating a batch to the post office and the Public Security Bureau. You can accept them with confidence."
Wang Yu said.
"Oh, thank you so much."
Miao Wanli replied absentmindedly as he led Wei Liangyong and the others out.
"Factory Director!"
Seeing Wang Yu, Wei Liangyong and the others were in tears, as if they had seen their dearest relatives.
"Hmph! Will you dare to gather for a brawl again next time?"
Wang Yu said sternly, snorting.
"We don't dare, we don't dare!" Wei Liangyong nodded his bald head like a chick pecking at rice.
"Alright, it wasn't a big deal anyway. They're all yours."
Miao Wanli nodded. "I'm a bit busy today, Little Wang, you can go ahead."
"Okay, please be busy," Wang Yu said hurriedly, seeing that the other seemed genuinely pressed for time.
"Captain, the personnel have assembled and are ready to depart at any time!"
Someone nearby reported to Miao Wanli. There were already quite a few people standing in the courtyard, no less than fifty or sixty in total!
"Good, let's go. Conduct a thorough search, we mustn't let those people escape!"
Miao Wanli waved his hand, led his men onto the sidecar motorcycles, and hit the ignition and throttle.
Then… the engine didn't start.
He tried again, but the engine roared for a moment and then stalled again.
"Damn it, why is it breaking down at such a critical moment?"
Miao Wanli cursed and kicked the sidecar motorcycle.
"Captain Miao, it's probably the spark plug that's broken," Wang Yu stepped forward. He could tell what was wrong with the sidecar motorcycle at a glance, but they seemed to be in a hurry to go on a mission and didn't have time to replace it.
"It seems you have a lot to do? You can try my fuel-assisted bicycles. They're already full of gas and can go quite a distance."
Wang Yu suggested to Miao Wanli.
"Oh? How could I have forgotten you, young man… Look at my head!" Miao Wanli slapped his forehead.
He then found a fuel-assisted bicycle, straddled it, turned the ignition and throttle. The operation was similar to a motorcycle, and he understood it almost immediately.
Miao Wanli immediately rode the fuel-assisted bicycle to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.
He discovered that the fuel-assisted bicycle was a bit slower than a motorcycle, but not much. The key was that its small wheels were agile, and it might prove very useful this time!
"Hmm? This is truly a good thing!" Miao Wanli was overjoyed and quickly shouted back, "Everyone without a motorcycle, get on a vehicle and depart quickly. Little Wang, I'll thank you when I get back!"
Instantly, the members of the Public Security Bureau each picked a vehicle and set off, kicking up dust.
My goodness, almost all of the 40 fuel-assisted bicycles that Wang Yu had brought were ridden away, leaving none behind.
"Uh, Little Factory Director, what do we do now?"
Brother Hu looked at Wang Yu and asked.
"What else can we do? Didn't you see they clearly have an urgent mission and are almost all out? We should just go back and have dinner, and do what we need to do!" Wang Yu glared at Brother Hu.
"Do you still want to stay here? Ask the Public Security comrades when they get back if it's okay for you to ride out without license plates and not follow traffic rules."
"Uh… that…"
"Let's go. I haven't settled the score with you for accidentally injuring me yesterday. You'll do me a favor tomorrow, but I won't let you help for nothing."
"No problem, no problem! Little Factory Director, let's go!"
The group left the county Public Security Bureau, chatting and laughing.
Meanwhile, Miao Wanli and his team, riding the original sidecar motorcycles and the fuel-assisted bicycles temporarily donated by Wang Yu, formed a mixed convoy and sped towards the outskirts of the county.
"Captain Miao, what's going on with these vehicles?"
Director Qian Guobing, who was standing in front of the only jeep, briefing his subordinates, was startled by the scene before him.
Where did so many vehicles come from? They looked like both motorcycles and bicycles.
"It's nothing, Director. These were donated by the car factory. The secretary had already informed you, but you arrived early so you didn't receive the notification."
Miao Wanli explained briefly and then asked, "What about those human traffickers now?"
"Those human traffickers are hiding in a nearby village. The terrain in this area is very complex, and our cars and three-wheeled motorcycles are inconvenient to enter in many places. But these you brought…"
"Fuel-assisted bicycles."
"Right, the fuel-assisted bicycles are light and agile, and can enter the village directly. You immediately lead your men to surround and patrol the perimeter to prevent them from escaping. I'll lead the team for a surprise raid."
"Yes, sir!"
