What's going on?
Halfway through preparing to leave Jiangping City, a young girl popped out to stop his car, saying she wanted to cooperate with him?
Wang Yu felt a bit stunned. Thirty years later, this would definitely be a scam or a staged accident.
However, he was curious now to see what this girl was up to.
"Miss, may I ask who you are..." Wang Yu looked at the young girl in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"I told you, my name is Wu Lingling," the girl said with a smile, stepping forward and taking Wang Yu's hand.
Her movements were brisk and generous, not at all affected, which left Wang Yu bewildered. People's minds were not as open then as they would be in the future, and it was rare for a girl to act this way towards a man.
"I want to cooperate with you to sell cars." Wu Lingling walked up to the car and stroked the door. "Such a good car, so cheap, and a hot commodity that's scarce in the market. It's bound to sell well!"
"Given your performance outside the agricultural machinery market earlier, those people from the agricultural machinery company definitely won't cooperate with you. And you probably wouldn't choose to cooperate with them either."
Wu Lingling's beautiful eyes widened, her gaze sharp and capable. "And you can't drive all the way from Jiangyang County every time to sell cars. So you need a sales spokesperson."
Wu Lingling's words made Wang Yu pause. He finally understood the girl's intentions.
She wanted to be that spokesperson and help him sell cars!
Just like a dealer in a later era!
Judging by her appearance, she had rushed over as soon as she got the news and directly blocked his path.
"So, you want to cooperate with me?" Wang Yu subtly withdrew his hand.
He had to admit, this woman... no, this girl.
Her vision and intuition were sharp!
She was not simple!
"Of course, I want to make money, big money."
Wu Lingling said matter-of-factly, which made Wang Yu a little distracted.
Although she appeared somewhat naive and inexperienced, the girl possessed a subtle, inexplicable aura.
Well, in the popular lingo of thirty years later, she was both cool and beautiful!
"Aren't you afraid I'm a scammer?" Wang Yu retorted.
"Hmph! What kind of scammer would be so wasteful, using such an expensive car as a prop?"
Wu Lingling let out a crisp laugh, then changed the subject. "Besides, didn't you say you welcome anyone to visit your car factory for an inspection? So you won't refuse me a visit, will you? We can cooperate after I've confirmed everything."
"Well, that's true." Wang Yu nodded. He didn't mind people visiting; in fact, the more, the better, as it would help promote his factory's products.
"So, then you should take me back with you."
As she spoke, she opened the passenger door, and with a tuck of her skirt, she got in.
"You want me to take you back?" Wang Yu was completely confused by the forward Wu Lingling.
"Yes, I ran away from home and I have no money on me. If I don't expect you to take me back, what else can I do? I don't have money for a ticket, and I don't know the way."
Wu Lingling shrugged, her expression completely matter-of-fact.
As they spoke, she had already settled into the passenger seat.
What?!
Wang Yu was utterly impressed by this beautiful girl.
So, after all that talk, she was essentially trying to get a free ride!
And if you don't even have money for a ticket, do you have money to talk about cooperation?
Wang Yu was speechless, but then he thought it wouldn't be appropriate to just kick her out of the car.
Such a young girl, daring to leave home alone and get into a stranger's car.
That kind of courage and boldness was unimaginable, even in this relatively simple and pure era!
"Alright, then we'll go back together. Consider it a ride." Wang Yu said nothing more, instead feeling a sense of admiration for the girl.
She would definitely be someone important in the future! Perhaps they could truly cooperate.
Thinking this, he reminded her to fasten her seatbelt.
With a roar of the engine, dust billowed up as the vehicle sped away.
...
Three days later, Wang Yu brought Wu Lingling back to Jiangyang County.
The bumps and hardships of the journey went without saying; they ate and slept poorly.
Not only Wang Yu, but Wu Lingling also looked haggard.
However, she showed no complaints or dissatisfaction, instead chatting and laughing with Wang Yu the whole way.
It was evident that although the girl's clothing and appearance were simple and plain, she possessed good upbringing and demeanor, with unpretentious conversation and sharp insight.
Her endurance and resilience on the road further elevated Wang Yu's opinion of her.
As they slowly drove back to Jiangyang Automobile Factory, the distinctive shape of the Number One product was very noticeable, and the workers recognized it from afar.
Upon closer inspection, seeing it was Wang Yu, everyone became happy.
"It's the young factory director!"
"The young factory director is back."
...
A series of cheers erupted, and everyone's faces were filled with enthusiasm.
They were now very eager to know what kind of big business their young factory director had brought back this time!
"I didn't realize you were so popular," Wu Lingling said to Wang Yu, looking at him with newfound respect.
She had initially assumed that this young factory director, perhaps facing exclusion or being sidelined, would personally travel long distances to sell cars.
However, it now seemed that was not the case.
"Young factory director, you're back!" Foreman Li Ming came forward. Being older, he wasn't suited for travel, so he had stayed at the factory to oversee things.
His gaze fell upon Wu Lingling in the passenger seat, and Li Ming was clearly taken aback, not expecting Wang Yu to bring back such a pretty young lady from his trip.
"And this is..."
"Oh, it's nothing. Just a potential client partner who wants to cooperate."
Wang Yu nimbly got out of the car, and brought Wu Lingling down with him.
"Uncle Ming, this trip was very successful. I've secured orders for four cars."
Wang Yu's tired face held an unconcealable excitement.
"I've received a deposit of 1000 yuan per car. I'll arrange for delivery later."
"Really?" Li Ming was overjoyed and couldn't help but do a little spin.
"This is truly great news! Delivering them ourselves will be a bit tiring, but the brothers aren't afraid of hard work."
"Yes, Uncle Ming, please arrange for someone to take this young lady to the county guesthouse to rest."
Wang Yu said to Li Ming, then looked at Wu Lingling.
"You must be exhausted these past few days, so get some good rest. We'll discuss the cooperation later."
"That sounds good."
Wu Lingling nodded. She was indeed very tired these past few days, and as she interacted with Wang Yu, she increasingly felt that he was no simple person!
After arranging for Wu Lingling, Wang Yu, ignoring his own fatigue, immediately headed to the county hospital.
He had been gone for almost a week.
His sister's surgery should have been completed by now, and he had to go see her quickly!
With anxious thoughts, Wang Yu rushed to the county hospital.
However, before he could even enter the hospital gates, his path was blocked.
A few young men, looking slovenly and roguish.
Behind them, Zhao Tao, dressed impeccably and with an air of a refined scoundrel, smiled at him.
"Well now, Director Wang, what a coincidence encountering you!"
