90: No room for maneuver
“This guy is truly brainless; not only does he not help fellow countrymen abroad, but he also acts as an accomplice to others.”
“See how quickly we turn things around!”
Xie Miao couldn't help but curse and was about to get out of the car to cause trouble, but Xu Ning stopped him.
“Wait, let me go take a look at the situation first.”
With that, Xu Ning unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
They had already reached the entrance of the cold storage, and he didn't want to cause any more trouble.
According to the information Uncle Chao provided earlier, the high-level personnel at this cold storage should be a secret contact point.
In other words, apart from the employees below the management level, no one else knows his true identity.
As long as he could enter the park and meet the high-level personnel, things would be much easier.
Li Liangui, at this moment, was sitting on a chair like a lord, with his legs crossed, drinking tea.
He was drinking Kinna black tea, which is common in Grozny.
Locals are accustomed to adding lemon, honey, or sugar to enhance the flavor, and Li Liangui was no exception.
In his opinion, the aroma and taste of this tea far surpassed other teas.
Seeing Xu Ning approach, Li Liangui seemed to have expected it, sneered, and casually threw the registration book in front of Xu Ning, saying in russian, “Register, the company name and the purpose of coming here must be clearly written.”
Xu Ning was stunned, then pretended not to understand russian, looking at Li Liangui blankly.
In reality, he understood russian; he was just doing this to test the gatekeeper's next move.
If the other party was just following regulations, then he was willing to tolerate it; but if they had other intentions...
Li Liangui obviously didn't sense Xu Ning's thoughts.
Seeing that the other party seemed not to understand russian, he immediately showed a contemptuous expression and pointed at the form on the table in chinese, saying, “I asked you to fill out a form, and you don't even know russian?”
“I really don't understand you guys, running off abroad when you don't understand anything.”
“Wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and farm?”
When he said this, he was actually quite happy in his heart.
Not knowing russian made things much simpler.
Xu Ning wasn't angry; instead, he asked curiously, “Why didn't the car in front have to fill out the form?”
Li Liangui's face instantly stiffened, as if someone had stepped on a sore spot, his face turned red, and he suddenly stood up, slapping the table and shouting, “They have their rules, can you compare?
They are from Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, are you too? Stop talking nonsense, fill it out quickly, or get lost!”
Xu Ning smiled and didn't say anything more, picking up the form and filling in his fake information.
He felt there was no need to argue with a gatekeeper; the most important thing now was to get inside.
As long as he could see the person in charge, things would be easy.
When Xu Ning finished filling out the form and handed it to Li Liangui, Li Liangui didn't take it to look at it, but leaned back, and said to Xu Ning outside the window with a mocking expression, “Go back, the warehouse is full.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning quickly said with a smile, “We transported it from a very far place; if it cannot be stored in time, the goods will spoil.”
“Could I trouble you to help contact the warehouse manager? Let us put the goods in first.”
Li Liangui's mouth curled into a cold smile: “What a joke, do you think the warehouse manager is someone you can just meet?”
Seeing Xu Ning lower his head in silence, Li Liangui thought the other party had taken the bait and was even more pleased.
Then he showed a troubled expression and said, “Ah, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I haven't seen you before.”
“This should be your first time here, right?”
After speaking, he put a few fingers together and rubbed them back and forth.
“It seems you don't understand the rules here; everyone has to pay a reception fee for their first visit.”
Want to extort? Isn't this the wrong person to target?
Xu Ning suddenly looked up, pretending to have a sudden realization, and said with a smile, “Are you teaching me how to play marbles?”
“I know how to do this, you don't need to teach me.”
This time it was Li Liangui's turn to be stunned, looking at Xu Ning with a furious expression.
“What nonsense are you talking about, reception fee, you don't understand this gesture?”
He rubbed his hands, almost generating sparks, while Xu Ning still had an expression of not understanding.
Li Liangui suddenly realized that the other party was deliberately teasing him.
A nameless anger flared up, and he waved his hand, eagerly shooing them away: “Go, go, go, get as far away from me as possible!”
“I told you, there's no space in this cold storage, hurry up and leave!”
Seeing this, Xu Ning didn't get angry, but just turned around and walked away silently.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but the other party obviously didn't give him any leeway.
Li Liangui snorted, sat down, and took a few sips of tea.
He thought to himself, you kids will have to come back and ask me for help sooner or later.
As the only cold storage in Grozny with Asian City employees, he had complete confidence.
Big companies didn't dare to provoke him, but he didn't expect a small company to challenge his authority.
He believed that these two young men didn't understand russian, and after hitting a wall outside, they would eventually have to come back to him.
Thinking of this, his anger subsided a lot, and he leaned back in his chair, a smug smile appearing on his face, and began to fantasize about them coming back to beg him.
At this moment, Xu Ning had returned to the car.
After buckling his seatbelt, he said calmly to Xie Miao, “Start the car and drive straight in.”
Xie Miao, who had been waiting for instructions, was slightly startled, and then his face lit up with excitement.
“Understood, Boss!”
He said, started the engine, and floored the accelerator.
The refrigerated truck rushed forward like a beast that had broken free from its reins.
“Bang!”
With a loud cracking sound, the barrier across the gate was broken into two pieces.
Their car sped into the cold storage park like an arrow, rushing along the central road.
Li Liangui, who was immersed in self-satisfaction, naturally also heard the loud noise.
“What's going on?” he exclaimed.
He was startled, and the teacup in his hand trembled with him, splashing tea on his clothes.
But he didn't care about that, and quickly raised his head, looking out through the window.
He saw that the barrier outside had been completely destroyed, with only a short piece still hanging there.
They actually drove straight through!
“Oh no!”
Li Liangui sprang up from his chair, hurriedly pushed open the door of the guard room, and chased after them.
“You guys stop, do you hear me!”
“Stop quickly!”
“Stop…”
Looking at the disappearing refrigerated truck, Li Liangui chased desperately, panting, his voice becoming weaker and weaker.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he quickly pulled out the walkie-talkie tucked into his waistband and called other security guards for support.
After calling, he stopped and gasped for air.
As his breathing gradually steadied, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Because this road led exactly to the cold storage general manager's office building.
The security there was tight, and the refrigerated truck would definitely be intercepted there.
And once it reached the general manager, although he couldn't avoid being reprimanded, with his cousin at the supervisor level supporting him, he himself shouldn't be in too much trouble.
