Qingshi Hi-Tech gave Liu Handong a salary of 10,000 yuan a month, and he had to listen to greetings on this basis, and from the next day, he became the full-time driver of Chairman Xia Qingshi.
Early the next morning, Liu Handong came to Xia's house as usual, he used to drive a car and wait under the porch, but today he was called into the house by the nanny, Xia Qingshi sat at the dining table to eat, steamed buns, fritters and bean juice, all homely breakfast, he naturally greeted Liu Handong: "Sit down and eat together." Without waiting for an answer, he asked the nanny to bring a pair of chopsticks.
Liu Handong is also a faceless and skinless person, he really sat down to eat, the taste of Xia's breakfast is different from that sold in the breakfast shop outside, it is particularly delicious, this is because the raw materials are all operated by home chefs, and even the vegetables eaten at home are grown in a special vegetable garden, without pesticide pollution, pure natural green vegetables.
Xia Qingshi had a bad appetite, deliberately ate very slowly, waited for Liu Handong to gobble up before putting down the chopsticks, wiped his hands, and went out to get in the car, Liu Handong drove out of the yard, and an off-road vehicle parked at the gate quickly followed, he knew that it was Qingshi Hi-Tech's bodyguard sitting inside.
"Xiao Liu, are you still used to work?" Xia Qingshi casually pulled homely.
"It's okay, it's just too idle." Liu Handong said.
"It was my negligence, young people's lives should be more fulfilling, I heard that you are very good at driving? I have a part-time job for you, I don't know if you're interested. Xia Qingshi suddenly laughed slyly.
"What kind of work? How much is the salary? Liu Handong couldn't wait to ask.
"The test driver, the pure electric sports car produced by the company, needs a test driver, because to test the performance of the vehicle in various extreme environments, the requirements for the test driver are very high, at least at the level of a racing driver, can you?"
"I can."
"Then get rid of the car behind me and show me."
"See." Liu Handong switched to manual mode, stepped on the accelerator, Audi S8 rushed out like an arrow, and the off-road vehicle hurriedly followed, but was left far behind, the car walkie-talkie sounded, and Lao Li's voice came: "Mr. Xia, what's the matter?" ”
"It's okay, test Xiao Liu's driving skills." Xia Qingshi said.
But before Liu Handong could show his strength, the road in front of him was blocked, and he could only move forward meter by meter, Xia Qingshi seemed to be a little excited today, and asked again: "Xiao Liu, is your monthly salary enough to spend?" ”
"Thank you, Mr. Xia, my expenses are not big, enough to spend, in fact, the cost of living in Omi is not high, the main pressure is housing, the company allocated me a dormitory, to solve my big problem."
"Do you feel happy in life?"
Liu Handong thought for a while and said, "I'm also happy, and I'm not happy." ”
Xia Qingshi smiled: "Oh, how do you say it?" ”
"I am happy because I have an idle and high-paying job, free housing provided by the company, a girlfriend, and a status in the rivers and lakes. I'm not happy, because I didn't have a father since I was a child, my mother still lives in a broken house, I don't want to live a life of inaction, the so-called contented people are happy, in fact, they are liars, the pigs in the pigsty have a mouthful of wheat bran to eat, there is the sun, they are the most content, people are the same, people are the happiest, but there is a real happiness, is the constant pursuit of new dreams and realization, that feeling is not only happiness, but also the driving force for human society to continue to move forward, so, people have the pursuit of happiness. ”
Xia Qingshi was a little surprised: "Xiao Liu, I can't see that you are quite thoughtful, so what pursuits or dreams do you have?" ”
Liu Handong said: "I, like most people, live a mediocre life, and I am unwilling, and I always feel that I can be more awesome. If you want to talk about specific pursuits, I want to buy a house for my mother and want to change jobs for my girlfriend, which will be difficult to achieve for a while, but I will try to do it, happiness is like playing a game, the focus is on the process, not the result. ”
Xia Qingshi asked, "What does your girlfriend do?" ”
Liu Handong said: "She drove the bus, there was no air conditioning in the summer, forty or fifty degrees in the carriage, at the end of the day, she could sweat, it was too hard, I said to find someone to transfer her position, she said she was not afraid of the heat, just to lose weight, by the way, Mr. Xia, don't just ask me, do you think you are happy?" ”
Xia Qingshi said: "I used to think that being a person like Jobs who can change the world is the real happiness, but now I don't think so, I can wake up every morning and see my daughter, and I can make my employees happy, which is my happiness, okay, let's not talk about happiness, talk about patriotism......"
After chatting all the way, at half past nine in the morning, arriving at Qingshi Hi-Tech, Liu Handong had nothing to do, went to the staff gym to practice the combination equipment, went to the game room to play a game of street fighter, went to the café to eat some snacks and drink a cup of coffee, looked at the vast factory area outside the window, and felt a little uneasy.
This job, he is not down-to-earth, the reason why the treatment is so preferential is because he saved Shu Fan's life, as a big man, lying on the merit book is not enterprising, and the difference between him and the pigs in the pigsty is not much.
Liu Handong found Xia Qingshi and asked him if what he said in the car counted, Xia Qingshi asked if you really want to be a test driver, do you know the danger of this job?
"I can understand that test pilots and test pilots are the same thing, immature products always have various risks, so they need to be bold and careful and skilled men to drive, I have no other skills, just not afraid of death, this job is the most suitable for me."
Xia Qingshi laughed and said that the company is not an army, and it will not test the car with a living life, so try it if you want to do it.
In front of the garage in the test area, the electric door is rising, a black streamlined sports car is quietly parked, Liu Handong's eyes are bright, a few circles before and after, tsk, 2o inch aluminum alloy wheels are red brake calipers, domineering and fierce front, because it is a pure electric vehicle, so there is no imported grille, the shape is more unique, the vehicle is round, the door handle and lights are appropriately hidden in the body, the paint is shiny like a mirror, the vehicle is like a beast ready to wait, fierce and domineering.
"Can you try it?" Liu Handong's heart was itching.
Xia Qingshi made a gesture of please.
Liu Handong got into the car, the seat wrapping is excellent, the breathable mesh leather material is used, the interior is all black, there is no traditional dashboard, but a huge touch screen, sports steering wheel, brake throttle gear knob one-button start, and ordinary cars are not much different.
Two technicians stepped forward to explain the operation steps, because it is a pure electric vehicle, there is no engine roar when it moves, for the sake of safety, the design imitates the roar, the vehicle has an external speaker, step on the accelerator, just like the roar of a high-end large-displacement sports car, and accompanied by a slight tremor, directly stimulate the driver's adrenaline secretion.
There is a special circular track in the test area, Liu Handong stepped on the accelerator and rushed out, his eyes were aimed at the gauge, and he silently checked the number in his heart, and it took less than four seconds to start a hundred kilometers.
After three laps on the runway, Liu Handong stopped, depressed and in a bad mood.
"What, not satisfied?" Xia Qingshi was surprised.
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's that I like it too much, I'm afraid I'm addicted to driving and I'm reluctant to come down, Mr. Xia, when will this car be listed?" Liu Handong looked back and ran from time to time, full of reluctance.
"There is only one prototype car, the body is made of titanium alloy and carbon fiber, the roof is a solar charging panel, the car is loaded with 48 high-energy fast-charging lithium iron batteries, plus a customized control system, if you count labor and scientific research investment, the cost of this car will be billion." Xia Qingshi explained with a smile.
Liu Handong immediately put away the idea of borrowing it for a few days and asked, "Does our company plan to produce cars in the future?" ”
Xia Qingshi said: "Qingshi Hi-Tech mainly does new energy, we provide batteries and energy solutions for all walks of life, at present, the country's high-energy battery market we have occupied half of the country, the future may penetrate into a deeper application field, such as the production of their own trams, electric helicopters, and even airplanes, hehe, these great ideals, I am afraid to Xiaofan this generation to complete, we currently do not even have the most basic fast charging technology, you see this level of sports car, although it runs fast, the endurance is enough, However, it takes two hours to charge, and this alone cannot eliminate traditional cars, and there are also problems of high temperature explosion caused by fast charging and discharging of batteries, the problem of battery energy decline or even failure in extreme environments, and the problem of production costs......"
He gushed endlessly, and the entourage stepped forward to dissuade him: "Mr. Xia, pay attention to your body." ”
"Okay, go back." Xia Qingshi sat on the electric car, which is a miniature open-top electric car, which is used for transportation in the company's park, with a chic and cute shape.
Liu Handong said: "Mr. Xia, what do you say about me being a test driver?" ”
"You already are." Xia Qingshi replied.
The company's human resources department signed a new labor contract with Liu Handong and hired him as a test driver in the test department, which paid very well, consisting of a basic salary and various subsidies, as well as medical insurance and large personal accident insurance.
The test department not only has this run, but also the large electric buses, household trams, electric motorcycles, etc. in the research process, plus Liu Handong has a total of five test drivers, all of whom are young people in their twenties, with good physique and quick response, Liu Handong quickly mingled with them, and everyone talked about the car full of praise, saying that it was more awesome than Bugatti Weihang, this shape, this momentum, and a proper 6 monster.
"It would be nice if I could borrow it as a float when I got married." A young man sighed.
Liu Handong also daydreamed, when he got married, he drove a 6-place monster to pick up Ma Ling, attracting countless eyeballs on the road, seeing who killed whom, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, Jaguar, all of them were fine.
The prompt sound of the mobile phone pulled him back to reality, it was Li Huilai's WeChat, saying that this weekend's class reunion, you are not allowed to go, you can bring objects, you are not allowed to take children.
