Chapter 49 Are You Stupid or Am I?
Perhaps because Liu Shang said his mouth was dry from talking, Mr. Zhong took a sip of water.
Liu Shang hastily refilled his teacup.
At this time, Mr. Zhong took another cigarette out of the case, and Liu Shang smiled as he took the lighter and lit it for him.
This time, Mr. Zhong was amused.
"Hehe, you bastard, you've got a certain charm."
"Don't tell me, if you really aren't by our side in the future, I'm afraid Professor Xu and I won't get used to it!"
"By the way, Liu Shang, you don't have to worry too much about this matter. There will always be room for a solution."
Liu Shang smiled. "Isn't it just one well? There's nothing to worry about."
"Maybe it's a bit difficult to increase production, but isn't it too easy to get a dynamic response?"
Hearing his words, Mr. Zhong was exasperated.
He thought to himself, *When did it come to this? Why are you still so arrogant?*
Seeing him like this, Liu Shang also smiled. "Mr. Zhong, it's just a few days' work. If you don't believe me, just watch."
"However, there is one thing that I really need to ask you and Professor Xu for help with, and that is to keep those people in the company from making trouble for me!"
...
About half an hour later, Mr. Zhong's special car left the company and went straight to Liu Shang's school.
Liu Shang first went to the counselor and asked for a few days off on the grounds that there was an urgent matter at home.
Then he went back to the dormitory to get his daily toiletries and clothes, and was taken by Mr. Zhong himself to the construction site outside the oil field.
(Oilfield field construction is all living in mobile board houses.)
On the way, Liu Shang sent a text message to Jiang Ruolin to tell her, which made Jiang Ruolin more worried.
And Liu Shang, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
*I haven't had nearly enough of this happy, sweet, beautiful, and leisurely life, and I'm afraid I'm going to be much busier from now on.*
When Liu Shang and Mr. Zhong arrived at the site, all the team members of the well came out to welcome them.
Generally, there are four people in a team. The leader of this crew was Wang Wansong. He was in his forties, stable and easy-going.
Coupled with Mr. Zhong's repeated emphasis and instructions, Liu Shang's living situation shouldn't be a serious problem.
"Boy Liu, life in the wild is not like your school, and most of the workers in the team are rough men."
"Can you really do it?"
Before leaving, Mr. Zhong pulled Liu Shang aside again worriedly and asked repeatedly.
After being affirmed by Liu Shang many times, Mr. Zhong got in the car and left.
For a university student technician like Liu Shang, who was personally escorted and vouched for by Mr. Zhong, the four members of the team were still very enthusiastic and accommodating.
Life in prefabricated houses at oil field construction sites is like this, with poor sanitation and various challenging conditions.
However, Liu Shang was no stranger to this kind of environment and even missed it a little.
And the naturalness and indifference he showed deeply won the surprise and favor of the team members.
Since there was no construction today, the team was still in the preparation stage, and everyone's work was not considered busy.
At noon, the crew leader, Wang Wansong, cooked the food himself. He served a chicken and some vegetables and at the same time took out the stored beer.
Liu Shang didn't pretend at all and drank two bottles openly.
After one meal, he became much more familiar with everyone.
In theory, drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited at the oil field construction site.
But after all, when you live in the wild, there will always be people who drink secretly, and most managers will turn a blind eye.
In a situation like today, when work had not yet started, no one cared.
It was beyond Liu Shang's expectation, and at the same time, he was very moved that Xu Tiande actually rushed over with Ma Yuan himself in the afternoon.
At home, Xu Tiande's children had rushed over, and his wife's condition was not serious. But logically speaking, Xu Tiande should not have come for these two days.
But as soon as he heard that something had happened after he left, the old professor, who was worried about Liu Shang, rushed over from a long distance.
After saying some polite words and exhorting everyone in the team, Xu Tiande took an opportunity to drag Liu Shang to a place where there was no one outside.
"Liu Shang, you child!"
"At the time, I was afraid that you would talk too much, so I warned you specifically, but you just didn't listen."
"Now that you have come to the site, your intentions are indeed good, but a real field construction site is very different from the theoretical techniques in books."
"Mr. Zhong and I suggest that you go back to the company."
For Xu Tiande's suggestion, Liu Shang naturally declined.
However, his refusal had already been expected by Xu Tiande and Mr. Zhong, so Xu Tiande could only tell Liu Shang to learn more, pay attention to safety, and contact him at any time if he needed anything.
Just as Xu Tiande called Liu Shang to one side, Ma Yuan also called the crew leader, Wang Wansong, to the other side.
"Old Wang, how is Liu Shang?"
"Is he being honest and obedient on your crew?"
This Wang Wansong was no fool. When he heard Ma Yuan's tone was wrong, he was not in a hurry to express his opinion but just laughed. "Engineer Ma, you're asking about Liu Shang? Hehe, he's okay, he's okay."
Ma Yuan looked at Xu Tiande and Liu Shang, then sneered. "This Liu Shang is notoriously arrogant and ignorant."
"He's offended a lot of people in the company."
"It's estimated that after this construction is over, he'll be packing up and leaving."
"So, don't get used to this kind of ignorant brat. If you need to teach him a lesson, teach him a lesson. Show him who's boss, and I will back you up!"
Upon hearing Ma Yuan's words, Wang Wansong couldn't help but curse inwardly: *What the hell, you idiot Ma Yuan, are you really playing me for a fool?*
*This Liu Shang just arrived at the site today, and the two big bosses of the company, Mr. Zhong and Professor Xu, both came to escort him. My ears are still ringing from all their instructions.*
*I've been in the company for seven or eight years, and I have never seen anyone who could make the two bosses place so much importance on them. I'd have to be crazy to deliberately embarrass this Liu Shang!*
*Besides, taking a step back, this Liu Shang is much more pleasing to the eye than you, Ma Yuan!*
*Look at how disgusted you were when you came to the site and our trailer, but Liu Shang is so down-to-earth. It makes people feel comfortable! Even without Mr. Zhong's and Professor Xu's orders, I wouldn't make things difficult for him, so get out of here quickly!*
...
But Wang Wansong dared not offend Ma Yuan, the engineer who was directly in charge of him, so no matter what he thought, he agreed repeatedly.
When Ma Yuan saw this, he was also quite satisfied, showing a smug smile as if his scheme had succeeded.
