Just when I was at my wit's end with this grumpy driver, my wife suddenly laughed and said, "When you're traveling, it's fate that you meet people. As the saying goes, having more friends makes the road easier. Come on, brother, let's eat together."
Without waiting for the driver's consent, she put food directly into his bowl.
The driver initially wanted to refuse, but after seeing his wife's warm smile, he remained silent.
I glanced at my wife, somewhat helplessly, and finally understood why women can handle some things more easily than men, especially when a beautiful woman is involved. She winked smugly at me, as if showing off her achievement.
I shook my head and smiled wryly. Even a man couldn't handle this kind of situation! My wife seized the opportunity, constantly urging the driver to eat. Once we got started, things went much smoother. We began a simple conversation, and seeing the atmosphere gradually warming up, I specifically ordered a few bottles of wine. Damn, the wine here is twice as expensive as outside, but I had no choice but to take the rip-off. The driver initially declined, saying he couldn't drink, but I insisted on filling his glass, saying he'd drink and then sleep, and wouldn't need to drive. He was still a little hesitant, but couldn't resist my wife's encouragement and toasts.
After a few drinks, perhaps due to the alcohol, their relationship seemed to deepen, and the driver opened up. Although it was unclear how much he could hold his liquor, he drank with great gusto, accepting every drink offered, one after another, sleeves rolled up, arms bare. He flushed easily when he drank; after just a few drinks, his face was completely red.
Through conversation, I learned that the driver's surname was Lu, and his given name was Lu Sheng. He was from a county and had come to the city with his family to make a living. They lived in a rented house on the outskirts of the city. He had driven a tractor for more than ten years before getting his driver's license and coming to the city to drive for others. People who knew him called him Master Lu.
Several empty wine bottles were on the table. Seeing that the wine was almost gone, Master Lu seemed a bit tipsy, and his speech was somewhat incoherent. It wasn't that I had a high alcohol tolerance; it was all thanks to my wife. She would offer him a toast every now and then, and he would take a small sip, which would be a full glass for her. Most of the bottles on the table had been gone.
We chatted a lot and became acquainted. I didn't mention my current job, only that I used to work in planning at a company before quitting. Hearing that I also came from the countryside and came to the city to make a living, I became very close to him. It was like seeing an old friend after many years. If there hadn't been a table between us, we probably would have come over and put our arms around each other's shoulders.
I called the driver "Master Lu," and emboldened by the alcohol and the lively atmosphere, he immediately called me "Brother Xu." I didn't mind, and to try and build rapport, I called him "Brother Lu" too. However, my wife's constant, smiling expression made me a little annoyed.
Seeing that the time was right, I poured Lu Sheng a drink while asking, "Brother Lu, what are the benefits like driving for this company?"
"Hey, don't talk about that, it makes me so angry!" Lu Sheng said, downing the wine in his glass in one gulp as if venting his anger.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I poured more wine. My wife seemed to understand and enthusiastically helped by serving me food.
Lu Sheng nodded his thanks, picked up his wine glass, thought for a moment and said, "When this company was recruiting, they said we'd work three days a week, make three trips back, and get one day off. The salary was agreed to be four thousand. But in less than six months, they changed the system. Not only were the days off canceled, but the salary was also reduced to less than three thousand."
"You haven't talked to the company?" I asked deliberately.
"What's the point of talking? It's just one sentence: if the company can't go on, either keep going or leave. A lot of brothers left back then. If it weren't for my wife and kids waiting for this meager salary, I wouldn't have put up with this bullshit and would have left with them long ago."
Having drunk some wine and caught up in the heated conversation, Lu Sheng's temper flared up.
"That's true, come on, brother, let's have a drink." I said, sharing their indignation.
Seeing me put a chamber pot on my head, my wife couldn't help but turn her face to the side and chuckle.
"Cheers! Let's drink and be merry while we can!" Lu Sheng, oblivious to his wife's movements, clinked glasses with me and, fearing I might slack off, added, "Drink up! Finish it all!"
I drank quite a bit too, and my head was a little dizzy. I forced myself to finish and said, "Come on, eat, eat some vegetables."
Lu Sheng didn't stand on ceremony and ate heartily, clearly lacking in oil and fat.
"The company wasn't like this back then, was it?" I asked as I served him some food.
"Hey, of course not, otherwise who would do it?" Lu Sheng took a sip of his drink, wiped the grease from his mouth, and said, "When we first came, it was all so impressive! We drove big King Long vans that could carry 45 passengers, all brand-new factory vehicles. It was so prestigious to drive around like that!"
He seemed to still recall the glory days, his eyes shining, but quickly dimmed as he said, "Who knew that in just a few months, we'd be replaced by a 33-seater used car? Now look at that beat-up car, sigh, I'm not going to talk about it." Seemingly annoyed, he shook his head.
It seems Lu Sheng has been with the company since it first opened. He didn't want to talk about it, but I was really enjoying listening to him. I gave my wife a wink, as if she thought I was cheating on an honest man. My wife glared at me slightly, but still offered a toast on my behalf, picking up some food and saying, "We had a great time today, so we specially ordered so many dishes. Brother Lu, please eat more."
"Haha, your wife is such a good person. You're so lucky to have married such a virtuous wife!" Lu Sheng said with a smile as his wife offered him a toast.
I glanced at my wife; her face was beaming with pride. I could only nod and say, "Yes, I'm very fortunate too!"
Taking advantage of Lu Sheng's good mood, he pressed further, "Isn't the travel company still operating? Why did you sell the car?"
Lu Sheng looked at me, hesitated for a few seconds, looked around, and when he saw that no one was around, he whispered, "I heard that someone used the money from selling the car to fill the company's hole."
"Not only me, but even my wife stared in astonishment, her face full of disbelief. Lu Sheng seemed oblivious to our expressions, continuing to drink his wine and saying, 'Sigh, in another two months, I'm afraid we won't be able to find work at all.'"
After listening to Lu Sheng's story, I knew he must know some inside information, so I casually asked, "How could such a successful company fail so quickly?"
Once the secret is revealed, the rest flows much more smoothly. Lu Sheng ate his food and whispered, "Hey, there are a lot of problems inside, and I can't explain it all. I'm just a driver; I don't know much about the internal affairs, but I know quite a bit about the external ones."
"Oh? Tell me about it." I said, pouring wine for Lu Sheng with great enthusiasm.
After taking a sip, Lu Sheng smacked his lips, gestured to the empty seat where the tour guide had left, and grumbled, "See that person? There are people up there. Everyone here gets a commission on their spending, and they're treated to good food and drinks every day. Meanwhile, us laborers get to eat this kind of stuff every day."
As he spoke, he picked up the green vegetables that had been placed on the table, gestured to them, and then tossed them aside.
"Yeah, I was startled when I saw that thing too. Has it happened to you before?" I said, deliberately trying to steer the conversation.
"It wasn't like this before. Before, there were many hotels near the highway exit on another route, where travelers would rest. Now we're not allowed to go that way, you won't see any of those hotels at all. The regulations stipulate we can only bring you here," Lu Sheng said with a half-smile, whether he was laughing at us for being tricked or at the company's changes. Picking up some food, he seemed to remember something and said, "Before, we had plenty of food, including wine and meat. We drivers always had three dishes and a soup. Look at us now, the food we're treated to is too much, and buying it is too expensive. We can only bring some pickled chili peppers from home."
