Chapter 7: A Thrilling Moment
Zhou Heng's profession is a city driver - driving a small truck.
What this profession has to do on weekdays, in addition to driving a car, delivering furniture, and occasionally making a cameo appearance as a porter. Today, because he had to transport a batch of goods, Zhou Heng had to drive to the station in the east of the city.
The location of the station is at the other end of Yanjin City, and the distance is not too close. Zhou Heng drove a small truck, which often takes more than an hour to arrive, and today he went with his colleague Hu Hai, who was in charge of transportation. Hu Hai is about the same age as Zhou Heng; Because of his short working hours and not like Zhou Heng who has a driver's license, he is still a temporary worker - but even so, his popularity is much better than that of the gloomy and silent Zhou Heng. On weekdays, he talks a lot and is enthusiastic, and even the supervisor treats him much better than Zhou Heng.
But sitting in the co-pilot's seat all the way, chattering endlessly to find topics to chat with Zhou Heng, this is not a good thing - Zhou Heng was busy all day yesterday, and he encountered such a thing in the evening, and his spirit was not very good; Listening to his chattering all the way, I almost had a nervous breakdown. I finally came to the station, and I was busy loading the goods, and it was not until noon that I was barely busy.
I'm already hungry with my chest on my back, but I have to pull the goods back before I want to eat. Taking advantage of the fact that Hu Hai had not come back, Zhou Heng did not dare to leave the car and go to eat alone; I bought a bag of pots and chewed them casually, and then lay down in the car and took a nap.
Hu Hai came back soon, and Zhou Heng was about to start a fire with his eyelids raised. Seeing that Zhou Heng's state didn't seem to be good, Hu Hai persuaded him, "Brother Zhou, if you're tired, then let's rest and leave again, right?" β
"I'm going to starve to death, let's go back first."
"Isn't it dangerous to drive like this? Why don't we eat hereβ" Hu Hai enthusiastically carried Jianyi, "or shall I try it for a while?" β
"Come on." Zhou Heng shook his head, "You don't have a driver's license, it's over if you are caught." β
Although Hu Hai persuaded him twice, Zhou Heng still started on the road with a fire. He had been driving for several years, and he had never had any accidents - because of such self-confidence, he didn't take Hu Hai's reminder to heart, and there were really no problems along the way. In urban areas where cars are generally not very high, as long as you don't die by yourself, there is often no major danger.
However, before entering the ring height, there seemed to be some traffic jams ahead-seeing the crowded traffic from a distance, Zhou Heng secretly sighed in his heart; Thinking about going around the other way, he turned the steering wheel in the other direction. This happened to be a small crossroads, and Zhou Heng was tired, but he forgot to look left and right; However, at this moment, Hu Hai suddenly shouted, "Brother Zhou, be careful!" β
Before Zhou Heng could react, a paralyzing sensation like electricity instantly penetrated his whole body. In fact, Zhou Heng was indeed electrocuted, and the left hand holding the steering wheel suddenly couldn't help but twitch, and his right leg kicked and stepped on the brake.
Snort-
The screeching brake sounded, Zhou Heng didn't grasp the steering wheel, and slammed on it. I just raised my head, and when I got out of the car, I suddenly shook.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and a torrent of blue instantly occupied all the horizon outside the car window. Hu Hai beside him exclaimed "ah", but Zhou Heng was still a little stunned, and he didn't react until the Dongfeng truck drove completely from the front.
Just now, a large truck came speeding from the other side of the intersection; If Zhou Heng hadn't braked at the last minute, the small truck would have had a close contact with the big east wind - even so, the front baffle of the car was still scratched a little; When Zhou Heng got out of the car to check, he saw a shocking abrasion and dent on the originally clean baffle, and two boxes of goods that were not tightly bundled also fell onto the road due to inertia. It can be seen that if the brakes are a little late, it will be the front of the truck and even Zhou Heng and Hu Hai on the car who will be knocked down.
The truck driver was also startled, hurriedly stopped the car, and came to Zhou Heng to check the situation; Seeing that Zhou Heng's car was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, asked a few words kindly, and helped the two of them carry the cargo boxes back to the car; Before leaving, I left a phone number, which can be regarded as having done everything that should be done. Zhou Heng and Hu Hai didn't embarrass him, most of the responsibility for the accident just now was on Zhou Heng's side, and he didn't make any mistakes; Plus the two cars just wiped a little, it's not much of an accident.
But on the other side, Zhou Heng was frightened.
It is impossible to say that there is no fear after hovering on the line of life and death almost once - besides, the brakes just now are not actually for him to step on.
He was completely oblivious to the large truck coming from the opposite turn. Even Hu Hai's reminder was already too lateβthe reason why he was able to react like this was actually entirely due to the electric current.
If it weren't for that current, I'm afraid he would have been hit to death. Obviously there is no chance of winning by taking a small truck and hitting a big truck; Neither of them was wearing seatbelts, and now that I think about it, it's almost dead.
After that, it passed in a trance like a movie. I don't know if he was electrocuted or frightened, when Zhou Heng returned to the car, he was still a little soft - seeing that he was really not in a good state, Hu Hai said that he would not let him continue driving; Another driver was called from the city and the truck was driven back to the city. After going back, he reported directly to the manager, but he did not immediately ask Zhou Heng about his fault; Instead, he called a few managers and went to the side to discuss.
Zhou Heng sat in the lounge, and then he barely settled down. Hu Hai pushed open the door and walked in, holding two bottles of canned green tea, one bottle was drinking by himself, and the other bottle was thrown to Zhou Heng far away. "Brother Zhou, I don't dare to sit in the car you drove anymore."
"I'm so tired today, I'm really sorry." Zhou Heng took the drink thrown and shook his head with a wry smile.
"My uncle died in a car accident because he drove a three-wheeled car into the city." Hu Hai said, "If you are not careful with this kind of big guy, you are joking with your own life." β
Zhou Heng nodded and did not speak.
"But it's okay, if you hadn't reacted quickly, we would have both been there. In any case, you should be careful in the future. Hu Hai said and patted Zhou Heng's shoulder, "I know Sister Qian of human resources, and I asked her to plead for you just now, and she said that it should be no big deal." β
"Well, thanks."
Zhou Heng responded, and the conversation between the two ended. Hu Hai had just gone out, and the supervisor came again.
To Zhou Heng's surprise, this time she scolded without meeting, put on a poker face, and said, "The car has been called to be repaired, you should go back and rest today." β
The Director's face was so gloomy that it dripped, and he had just finished speaking, and turned to leave; It seems that she is reluctant to say a word to Zhou Heng. Zhou Heng naturally didn't like to talk to her, but he didn't know the company's decision yet, so he had to take the initiative to ask, "Why go back and rest?" What is this accident? β
Zhou Heng was still a little worried about what the company would do - no matter how he said that he had damaged the company's car and goods, and he was also very worried that this middle-aged woman who had been unhappy with him for a long time would wear small shoes for him. The director frowned and said, "I haven't decided yet, I have to wait for the boss to say it." β
What...... Zhou Heng was a little disappointed; The supervisor seemed to remember something, adding, "You don't have to worry too much about the car accident; But the broken batch is a home department store, and you have to be responsible. β
"How responsible?"
"Indemnity for purchase price. The two boxes of goods are Qingyang tea sets, one box of one hundred and twenty-six, a total of two hundred and five. You can go home and rest first, count tomorrow's rotation, and come back the day after tomorrow. β
After the director finished speaking, he left, and Zhou Heng breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, it's a good thing not to be fully responsible; I can rest for a day and a half, at least I can breathe a sigh of relief. But even so, today is really unlucky enough - such an accident, at least this month's bonus is out of play. plus you have to deduct 2500 wages, and the whole person will have to be 255 if you go on like this.
Taking off his work clothes, Zhou Heng was ready to go home. When he went out, he met Hu Hai, who had just finished moving the goods, and Hu Hai said to Zhou Heng mysteriously, "Got it?" I heard that the director had bad luck this time. She didn't allow you to ask her for leave, and you went to the personnel side to complain, and when something happened, she was punished-"
Zhou Heng couldn't help but laugh dumbly. No wonder I was so happy to approve my leave just now, it turned out to be like this. Although it didn't matter to her whether she was punished or not, but when she thought of her gloomy expression just now, Zhou Heng's mood inexplicably improved.
That's it for this time, if you lose money, you lose money -- just use money to buy a lesson. Thinking of the pain of deducting money and salary today and the thrill of his life hanging by a thread, Zhou Heng was frightened, and his heart gradually became a little clearer-
It's time for something to change.
Of course, he has to support his family and has many concerns, because he understands the difficulties of life and the hardships of society, so he does not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi; And being in this sophisticated and fast-paced city also gave him little time to think about things outside his horizon. If it were the same as before, of course, there would be no way to do it, and to live a life that was as bad as it is now, it was a difficult life that had to be fully committed to barely sustaining it - but now it is different.
Turning a street, ignoring the pedestrians and sights around him, Zhou Heng groped around and took out the strange glass ball from his pocket.
"I just pressed my body on the brakes...... That's you, right? β
