No matter how big the issue, you have to take it slow.
If sothing unexpected happened, not to ntion the number of people whose livelihoods depend on you, you should also think about your parents and family…”
I flew back, okay?
I was flying, flying…
Yan Fei grumbled to himself incessantly, feeling no sha, and accepted the criticism with all the sincerity his face could muster.
As Secretary Jiao finished speaking and he wasn’t sure what to say, he thought of the incident when he passed the toll station on his way here, “I got up early, and didn’t drive particularly fast.
The nurous toll stations along the road just hold up traffic.
Elsewhere it might be okay, but even in our own area, it wastes ti…
Can’t the frequent local drivers get sothing like a monthly pass, just like you’d do for a landline or internet service?”
Back in the day, his old man had the majesty of a dragon, seen in the heavens but elusive on the ground—a motorcycle as his cover was enough.
Now that he drives, the target is too big, and sneaking in and out of ‘Dinosaur World’ is just too much hassle.
Besides, the roads are good now and such a short distance doesn’t warrant the fuss.
But toll booths are a real inconvenience, not so much the cost, but the ti wasted is truly botherso.
Secretary Jiao imdiately laughed, and Xiao Zhao explained on the side, “Our county has already implented this policy.
Those small shuttle buses to the villages all have monthly passes.
It’s generally not needed for private vehicles, and as you know our local situation, so who would need it don’t bother…
So not many people know about it.”
Hearing this, Yan Fei realized he was out of the loop, “Well, that’s good.
I’ll go get one, then.
Have them lift the gate early when they see my car, to stop wasting my ti…”
Xiao Zhao seed to imply there was more to say.
In reality, those who need a monthly pass don’t bother with it, sothing Yan Fei was well aware of.
Any driver familiar with the local area has plenty of ways to avoid paying.
Not to ntion, the barrier at the county’s toll booth is frequently faulty, requiring manual operation, and if there are other cars, you can just tailgate through.
Then there’s the practice of calling on familiar faces to say hello and get through without paying, a thod not uncommon here.
In a small county town, if you drive a nice car, how could you not know a few people with clout?
If Yan Fei let Xiao Zhao say a word for him, he wouldn’t have to pay tolls either.
But he can’t be bothered to do that, thinking it would be a loss of face—for heaven’s sake, he’s the only one in the whole county driving a rcedes Benz S600!
Seeing Yan Fei relax upon knowing about the monthly pass, Secretary Jiao said with a chuckle, “Forget the monthly pass.
I see you have to make trips to the county committee every now and then, and you still have to register every ti.
Let’s have Xiao Zhao issue you a committee access pass.
With this, you’ll find it more convenient whenever you co here, and you won’t have to pay at the tolls—which should save our big boss so ti.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Fei quickly expressed his gratitude.
A special access pass granted by the secretary himself—that was a real show of respect!
In practice, Boss Yan’s car, going in and out of the county committee and entering or exiting the Sancha River township governnt compound, was never logged anyway!
After making another round to his parents’ place, by the ti he left in the afternoon, his car had an extra pass with a bright red stamp.
When he got to the toll station again, Yan Fei was worried they might not see it, so he honked deliberately and stuck his head out, shouting, “I just got this access pass; does that an I don’t have to pay the toll anymore?”
Once he received an affirmative answer, he added, “Well, next ti I co by, don’t drop the gate.
It’s too slow and kind of wastes ti!”
As he drove past, he heard soone from the toll booth sigh in the background, “Just when we had one honest boss who paid the tolls, now he doesn’t have to pay either!”
Is that…
a hint of sarcasm?
Yan Fei, feeling irked again, slamd on the gas, and the car nearly took off!
