In the scorching heat of Hong Kong in July, most of the teams chose to wake up early and set off before 6 o'clock to try to get as many miles as possible before the sun became fierce.

Liu Wei was placed in Group D, and in the same group, except for Han Ying, who is also from the mainland, the remaining 18 people are from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The previous group of 500 people seemed random, but it was not.

After each new employee is admitted to DFE, the Human Resources Department will create a personal file. Most of the first information included in the file is the personal evaluation given by the interviewer who admitted them.

For example, the interviewer's evaluation of Liu Wei is that he does not talk much and his ability to communicate with others needs to be strengthened, but he is honest and serious. These evaluations may not be absolutely accurate, but they reflect the first impression that each new employee gives to the interviewer.

Of the 500 new members, only 50 are from the mainland. If evenly distributed, there are only two people in each group. They are the least numerous, and they are the most likely to be isolated in this newly formed unfamiliar team. After all, the new employees in the three regions have different living habits and different ways of thinking about problems.

In particular, there has been a 30-year-long hostile propaganda campaign between the mainland and Taiwan. A team of strangers to face challenges that are not easy to face together, and if the allocation of personnel is not reasonable, it is easy to create estrangement.

This time, the grouping was based on the evaluation given to each new employee by the interviewers, and tried to arrange people with complementary personalities together to reduce the chance of internal conflicts.

People like Liu Chang have a cheerful personality and are willing to show themselves, even if they are alone in an unfamiliar team. It's also easy to mingle with new people. On the contrary, Liu Wei is placed in a new team alone, and he is easily excluded and isolated if he does not talk much and is not good at communicating.

So Han Ying, who has a cheerful and generous personality, was arranged to be in the same group as Liu Wei. With Han Ying to help communicate, Liu Wei will not be completely rejected by other new colleagues in the same group.

As there are relatively few new staff in the mainland, with as little as one person in each team and as many as three or four people, they are a natural minority in each team. Moreover, the mainland in the 80s was much more backward than Hong Kong and Taiwan, which also caused the new people from the mainland to have a narrower vision.

For example, in the discussion of buying camping supplies on the first day. Most of the new staff members from the mainland did not express any opinions. Because almost none of them have participated in activities such as camping, even if they have similar experiences, it doesn't help much. Because there are no outdoor stores in China now, it is naturally impossible for everyone to know what special things need to be purchased.

Backwardness naturally leads to discrimination. Like Liu Wei, although he doesn't talk much, he is not wooden, and he can also find the trace of contempt that others faintly express. So he has to work hard today to show his teammates that he is by no means worse than them.

Depart from the Chinese University's campus in Shatin. The journey to the designated campsite in Sai Kung West Country Park is about 30 kilometres. The distance of the mountain climb in the country park is about 10 km.

For Liu Wei, who has lived in a rural village in the southwest of the country since he was a child, the 30-kilometer journey is not a problem at all. As early as when he was in elementary school, he walked seven or eight kilometers to school every day.

But the other members of Liu Wei's H group are obviously not as relaxed as him, and everyone is still talking and laughing in the first 5 kilometers, which is very relaxed. But soon everyone's pace began to slow down, and the words gradually became less, only the non-stop drinking water and wiping sweat remained. And the sun has already come out of the horizon, and the temperature is slowly rising.

There were five girls in Group H. Among them, Han Ying's table xiàn is the best. In fact, she is also from a rural area, compared to helping her family do farm work before. Walking long distances is not a difficult task for her. But the other four girls in the team were much worse, and they had only walked more than ten kilometers before they began to be overwhelmed.

Group H started at 5:45 a.m. and has now walked for four hours, about half of the way. And now the temperature has reached 33 degrees, and one of the girls on the team is suffering from heat stroke.

"Qianqian, your face is very scary now, don't hold it up! It's better to call the medical car, your body is important!" Qiu Zhipei, as the captain, kept persuading the blue-faced girl.

But this girl named Fang Qianqian shook her head stubbornly and refused to quit. If someone on the team quits halfway through and takes a medical van to the finish line, the whole team will be penalized at the end. Don't look at Fang Qianqian's quiet and quiet character, but her actual personality is soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, she doesn't want to drag the team back because of herself.

"Ah Pei, Qianqian's body will definitely not be able to hold on to the whole journey! Since she refuses to quit, then either this or this, I and a few other colleagues with spare strength will take turns carrying her to the finish line!" Seeing that the captains Qiu Zhipei and Fang Qianqian couldn't hold on, another male colleague named Song Bailiang jumped out and said.

Song Bailiang and Fang Qianqian are classmates in the same school, although they are not in the same major, they also know each other. When he saw that Fang Qianqian was about to shake her head again, he glared at her: "Either we will carry you to the end, or you will take the medical car to the end by yourself!"

Of the remaining 15 kilometres, 10 kilometres are mountain roads in country parks. So even if Fang Qianqian quits to take the hospital car now, she will only walk five kilometers less, and the next ten kilometers of mountain roads will not be open to traffic. So everyone finally agreed with Song Boliang's opinion.

Song Boliang's physical condition is very good, and he used to be a member of the school basketball team. Since it was his mention, he was the first to carry Fang Qianqian. In the midst of everyone's jokes about heroes saving beauty, Group H began to start again.

Although Song Bailiang has good strength, it is by no means an easy thing to carry a girl of more than 100 catties on his back. He lasted about three kilometers before he began to run out of breath and involuntarily slowed down.

As the captain, Qiu Zhipei has been paying attention to the situation of the two, and after he found that Song Bailiang had reached the limit of his physical fitness, he was ready to replace him by himself. Although Qiu Zhipei's body is actually very ordinary, as the captain, he feels that he has the responsibility to stand up bravely.

"Captain, I'll come!" At this time, Liu Wei, who didn't talk much, suddenly said.

"Captain, let Liu Wei come, don't look at him tall and thin, in fact, his whole body is full of muscles. can carry a big beauty like Fang Qianqian, and she has endless strength all over her body!" Han Ying also teased on the side, causing everyone to chuckle.

Chiu Chih-pei is a native of Taipei, and as the captain, he has to shoulder the responsibility of uniting the team. Since the two colleagues from the mainland in the team said so, he naturally did not object.

Although Liu Wei took the initiative to replace Song Bailiang to carry Fang Qianqian just now, he was a little embarrassed when the girl really stood in front of him. This is the first time that Liu Wei has been so close to the opposite sex except for his relatives, and his stiff movements when carrying Fang Qianqian attracted a burst of ridicule from everyone.

Liu Wei's body is indeed very good, in the past, when he was at home during the summer vacation, he often helped his family carry hundreds of catties of grain and walked more than ten kilometers of mountain roads to the town to sell. Liu Wei carried Fang Qianqian on his back and walked two kilometers in one breath, until he arrived at the halfway rest point, and the frequency of his pace did not change in the slightest.

At the rest point, everyone drank the electrolyte supplement drink specially prepared by the logistics team, rested for another half hour, and then continued to set off. The last 10 kilometers are all mountain climbs, which are much more difficult than the previous roads.

After walking 20 kilometers, a lot of physical energy has been expended. Liu Wei was carrying a girl on his back, but he could still follow everyone closely and unhurriedly, and his steps were not messy at all.

Liu Wei smelled the faint fragrance of the girl behind him, and felt that he was carrying it like a ball of cotton! The other boys in the team came up to ask if they wanted to replace it, but Liu Wei smiled and shook his head.

Unconsciously, he carried Fang Qianqian on his back and walked all 10 kilometers of mountain roads in one go. Liu Wei, who didn't look like a mountain dew before, actually had such a body, and the rest of the team couldn't help but look sideways, and Fang Qianqian's feeling on Liu Wei's back was a little complicated!

Although everyone was on the same team, Fang Qianqian never paid attention to Liu Wei. But this somewhat silent boy walked more than ten kilometers on her back today, which made her feel a little moved! (To be continued......)
