Chapter 1084: Thunder of the Sky
It was almost dusk. In the cold air, people on the street wrapped themselves tightly in clothes and hurried home. There were few taxis.
Shen Dapeng stood on the roadside, but Sun Ying was still in his mind.
Today was not in vain. At least Sun Ying had gotten much better mentally. Otherwise, with her character, she would have serious psychological problems in the long run. It would be futile to try to remedy the situation at that time.
However, compared with the miserable state of Sun Ying in her previous life, who was stripped naked on the street, the current Sun Ying was already a good result.
Shen Dapeng wondered if he could think of some way to find a job for Sun Ying as soon as possible. In this way, once she started working, Sun Ying's mood would slowly adjust and she would forget the past.
While walking slowly on the street, thinking about random things in his mind, the phone in his pocket rang.
It was Liu Fengxia who called. She told Shen Dapeng that Zhou Chengmin had finished decorating the auto repair shop. In addition, she had transported the auto parts and equipment that Shen Dapeng had contacted from the south back to the auto repair shop. Everything was going well and they were just waiting to open tomorrow.
Shen Dapeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and asked casually: "Have all the people who should be notified been notified?"
"The invitations were sent out a few days ago, Dapeng, did you just wake up?"
Liu Fengxia's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, "This kind of thing must be notified a few days in advance, so that others can be prepared."
Shen Dapeng suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"By the way, don't sleep in tomorrow morning, you have to come early." Liu Fengxia reminded him again and hung up the phone.
Shen Dapeng comforted Sun Ying for an afternoon, and now he felt a little sleepy. Thinking that he had to get up early tomorrow to deal with the opening, he had to go back and rest early, so he quickened his pace and rushed towards home.
At this time, it was already evening, but the office of Jinhui Taxi Company was brightly lit.
Lu Shibo was holding a cigarette in his mouth, smoking it in frustration, pacing back and forth in the room, looking restless.
And on the sofa, a middle-aged man was sitting. He poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the cup and was about to drink it, but his brows slightly frowned, staring at Lu Shibo in front of him unhappily.
"Can you stop hanging around in front of me?" the middle-aged man shouted impatiently.
"Brother, why are you not in a hurry at all? People have bullied us, and you still have the mood to drink tea here?"
Lu Shibo took a deep puff of the cigarette, then threw away the cigarette butt, stepped hard on the ground to put it out, and stared at the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. This person was none other than Lu Shibo's brother Lu Shiyong.
Lu Shiyong drank two sips of tea calmly, put the cup on the coffee table, and then said slowly with a gloomy face: "Urgent? What's the use of being anxious? What have you been doing? They are going to open tomorrow, and you just told me? Everything is too late!"
Lu Shibo was stunned, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything. He sat next to Lu Shiyong awkwardly, "Brother, I just learned about it from a driver today. I heard that Liu Fengxia's taxi company handled the procedures very quickly, just a few days, and County Magistrate Tie personally said that it must be simple and fast, so..."
Lu Shibo looked at Lu Shiyong next to him helplessly. He himself didn't expect that Liu Fengxia's Pengcheng Taxi Company only took a few days from handling the procedures to planning the opening!
"Brother-in-law is really something. He went to his hometown with his sister during the Chinese New Year. If he was in the county, he would definitely know about this matter first."
Lu Shiyong frowned. Jiang Lihui was his brother-in-law and the deputy director of the county transportation bureau. No matter who opened a taxi company, it was managed by the transportation bureau.
However, Jiang Lihui had not been back to his hometown for several years, so he went back once during the Chinese New Year this year. Unexpectedly, the road conditions in his hometown were not good and the mountains were closed due to heavy snow. Jiang Lihui could not get back for a while, so of course he didn't know anything about Liu Fengxia's taxi company procedures.
"That's right, if my brother-in-law was here, Liu Fengxia wanted to open this taxi company? No way! Qingshu County has no other taxi company except our Lu family's Jinhui company!" Lu Shibo looked indignant, lit a cigarette, and took another deep puff.
"Shibo, how can you be so simple-minded!"
Lu Shiyong looked at his brother with dissatisfaction, "Think about it, even if my brother-in-law is in the county, this matter was handled by County Magistrate Tie himself. No matter how powerful my brother-in-law is, can he resist County Magistrate Tie?"
Lu Shibo was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Lu Shiyong. After a long time, a layer of ashes appeared on his face, and he shook his head dejectedly, "Alas, Liu Fengxia got a bargain, and got the new taxis in the city for nothing. Now, what way do we have to survive?"
Lu Shibo knew that there were not many drivers left in his company. Most of them either quit or did not renew their contracts with him when their contracts expired.
The company's current economic situation is rather embarrassing. Lu Shibo was still thinking that since there was only one taxi company in the county, those drivers would complain that the treatment here was too harsh. If they didn't work, would they go out to starve?
The company could afford it, but those drivers had to support their families. How could they afford it? After a while, they would definitely come to him and beg him to sign a contract with them.
This was a good calculation. Lu Shibo waited for the opportunity to work, but he could never have imagined that Lu Fengxia would open the second taxi company in the county overnight, like a thunderbolt that caught him off guard!
What kind of person is Liu Fengxia? An ordinary employee of a canning factory on the verge of bankruptcy in the county, she became a well-known female entrepreneur in the county and even the city. Which of her businesses was not doing well and beyond the reach of others?
Although Lu Shibo was jealous, he had to admire Liu Fengxia's talent. Now, Liu Fengxia suddenly made such a move and directly entered the taxi industry. Is this undoubtedly going to destroy his own rice bowl?
Jinhui Company was seriously injured because of the last incident. The business has not been good in this period of time. With Liu Fengxia's intervention, can the two brothers still do business?
Lu Shiyong didn't speak for a long time. He drank tea calmly with a serious face, as if thinking about something.
"Brother, please say something. What should we do now?"
Lu Shibo couldn't stand his brother's slow and unhurried look. He was like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting. He simply stood up and paced around the room again.
