Chapter 450 The Intimidating Power of Heroes
A young man in front heard this and, knowing about it, quickly joined in:
"I know about this too. I was there that day. That young man was really something else; he beat up all the men from the joint brigade..."
As they were talking, they noticed that Lu Yao had fallen silent.
Suddenly his eyes lit up: "Young comrade, was that you that day? I remember you, it was you!"
He instantly realized that his memory was correct.
Pointing at Lu Yao, he shouted to the people around him, "It's him! This is the comrade who maintained order that day. I sat next to him when I got on the bus. I watched him the whole way."
Lu Yao was laughing.
He had only casually taught a lesson to the hooligans and Wang Jiabao from the joint brigade, but he didn't expect them to take it so seriously.
The touching moments of ordinary people are actually quite simple.
They had been watching this infuriating situation for a long time, but were powerless to do anything about it.
Witnessing a powerful person stand up for them naturally fills them with lifelong gratitude.
The young man immediately began to recount the incident that had occurred at the train station the previous year.
It was a simple act for Lu Yao, but for him, that scene was incredibly moving.
Moreover, after being reprimanded by Lu Yao, Wang Jiabao even went to the stationmaster.
Don't be fooled by how Wang Jiabao acts like a grandson in front of Shi Shouyin and Lu Yao; he's a grandfather to the stationmaster.
He stipulated that passengers must queue to board the bus at the minibus station from now on, because he was afraid that Lu Yao might encounter this scene again and cause him trouble.
So the station held a meeting for all the drivers.
The doors will not open if passengers do not queue.
In addition, staff were dispatched to maintain order.
So Lu Yao witnessed the harmonious scene before him.
Often, what seems like something that ordinary people can't change is actually just a matter of a single word from a powerful person.
These people were treated like royalty, and they were all very grateful to Lu Yao for giving them a stable order.
Honest people like to follow the rules because they are the ones who suffer the most when there is no order.
Someone suggested that Lu Yao get on the bus first, but Lu Yao refused.
I don't want to enjoy special privileges over such a trivial matter.
The bus has arrived; board in order.
Lu Yao sat in the second-to-last row.
Those who came up later had no seats and had to stand in the aisle.
Lu Yao leaned against the window, looking down.
The car was about to leave when suddenly a woman carrying a large canvas backpack came running hurriedly towards us.
"Wait, wait, don't go yet."
She hurriedly squeezed onto the bus, otherwise the next one wouldn't arrive for another hour.
Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh when he saw her disheveled appearance.
She recalled the disheveled state of her body when Chen Da Huzi's men chased and pinned her down.
The person who came was Yang Lina, a female reporter from Jiangzhou Weekly.
She was wrapped in a Soviet woolen overcoat, with a red scarf covering half her face. She looked a bit bulky and seemed slightly clumsy as she boarded the bus.
There's no other way; at this time, you can't show off your figure if you want to stay warm.
If girls these days wore thermal leggings like yoga pants out, they'd be freezing and wet in no time.
The minibus has 24 seats, so the rest of the passengers will have to stand.
There were about a dozen people standing in the aisle.
Yang Lina tried to move a little further in, but ended up stepping on a young man's foot.
"Hey, are you blind? Why are you pushing?"
Yang Lina was also unhappy and pulled down her scarf to reveal her face:
"I didn't do it on purpose. I just apologized for stepping on your foot, why did you have to swear at me?"
"So what if I insulted you!"
Yang Lina's face turned bright red with anger.
Just then, Lu Yao called out from behind:
"Lina, where are you going?"
Yang Lina was immediately excited when she saw Lu Yao:
"Oh, Lu Yao, I'm going to Jiapigou to find you! I'm not saying anything more, I'm going to do an exclusive interview with you after the New Year, I'm going to stay in Jiapigou for two days!"
The young man looked back and saw that Yang Lina knew Lu Yao, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He didn't know Lu Yao, but he had overheard everyone talking about how Lu Yao managed the petty thugs at the train station.
The fact that he beat up thugs and even members of the joint brigade shows that Lu Yao is no ordinary person.
Will Lu Yao get angry after bullying Yang Lina, who is just a young girl?
The young man's expression changed instantly, and he smiled obsequiously at Yang Lina:
"Oh, sorry, sis, I was a bit harsh. It's alright, what's wrong with stepping on someone's foot? It's not easy being out and about, bumps and scrapes are inevitable. Do you know anyone here? Come on, let's go past you..."
After saying that, he squeezed to the side to protect Yang Lina.
When Yang Lina saw his sincere apology, she felt a little embarrassed.
But I quickly realized what was going on.
This isn't an apology; it's fear of Lu Yao!
When Lu Yao greeted me, my expression immediately changed.
He couldn't help but admire Lu Yao even more.
That kid has guts.
Even from that distance, they can protect me.
There was no need for much pushing or shoving; everyone made way for her without hesitation.
When they arrived in front of Lu Yao, an older woman next to Lu Yao even stood up and offered Yang Lina her seat.
Yang Lina refused.
He quickly pressed the aunt down to sit, and then stood next to Lu Yao, leaning against his thigh.
He put his backpack on the luggage rack and then held onto the back of Lu Yao's chair.
As the car started moving, Yang Lina's body swayed with it, but her eyes remained fixed on Lu Yao's face.
"Company Commander Lu, where have you been during the Spring Festival?"
"I'm planning to install electricity in the village in the city, so I'm going to visit the relevant departments."
"Oh dear, this is no easy task. When I was doing interviews in Xiangyang Commune the year before last, most of the villages there didn't have electricity. One village's old team leader had been going to the relevant departments in the city for over a year, but they still couldn't get it installed. They even provided manpower and cut down trees to make poles, but they just wouldn't let them install it. They said that the power station in the city couldn't supply enough electricity, and the city was even cutting off power during peak hours."
An older woman next to me nodded:
"Yes, yes, I live in the northern part of the city. The train stopped for more than half an hour on New Year's Eve."
An old man nearby added, "I'm in the south of the city, and they stop too! Especially around the Lunar New Year, they stop for more than an hour almost every night when we eat, to light candles and eat."
Lu Yao laughed and said, "The power generation capacity is not good at this time, so there may really be a shortage."
Yang Lina asked, "Can you do it?"
"I'm still running, let's see if it works or not before we install it."
An older man chimed in: "We're from Fenhewan Commune. Our village's former team leader's son-in-law works at the rural power station. He's begged the leaders countless times, but they haven't agreed. I think you're just wasting your time."
Lu Yao nodded: "I'll do my best. Man proposes, God disposes."
Not long after, the car arrived at the station and we got off.
Seeing that Yang Lina was still worried for him, Lu Yao then whispered:
"The director of the rural power station has agreed to install electricity for us, and they have provided the wires. I just need to go back and prepare the utility poles and manpower."
Yang Lina stared in surprise, her eyes wide:
"Really? You have such influence, even the rural power station could pull this off?"
Lu Yao smiled.
No response.
It wasn't that he had a lot of face; it was that the director was afraid of Shi Shouyin.
We need to hurry up and get the power supply installed.
Who knows when Mei Ping will actually arrest Shi Shouyin, and then the director of the rural power station will change his mind?
Seeing Lu Yao walk towards the commune, Yang Lina followed:
"Company Commander Lu, the editor-in-chief asked me to interview you. I'm prepared to spend two full days with you, so we'll be inseparable for the next two days. You won't hate me, will you?"
Lu Yao turned to look at her: "Inseparable? You sleep with me too?"
