After making the decision, Huo Haocheng and Fu Mingyi went together to buy tickets for 7 a.m. the next day.

After buying the tickets, the two went to the black market and found Zheng Xuyang's former brothers. They told them about Fu Mingyi's transfer out of Beijing, and also about what Ruan Ruan had said: if they were willing, they could go to Beijing together once the factory was built, and then they could be in charge of the furniture factory's sales.

Despite their long history in the black market, they are very experienced in dealing with people and making money, as evidenced by the Zheng brothers.

Huo Haocheng has always supported Ruan Ruan's decision.

So he came to them.

When the brothers first heard that Fu Mingyi had also been transferred, they were all happy for him. Fu Mingyi had helped them a lot in the past two years, and now that he had been promoted, he still remembered their safety and came to tell them. They would always remember this kindness. However, later, when they heard Huo Haocheng ask them if they would like to come to Beijing with them, they saw shock on each other's faces.

"Brother Huo, are you serious? You really want us to go to the capital with you? What can we do in the capital? This..." None of them wanted to let this opportunity slip by, but they were illiterate and only knew a few simple words, which were taught to them by Zheng Xuyang.

Without academic qualifications or diplomas, and without any skills, it's really hard to know what they could do if they went to the capital.

"You don't need to worry about that. My wife is going to build two factories in Beijing and is currently looking for people. If you're willing, you can take care of what you're doing first. The factories will start construction in a few days and should be completed around July, with construction commencing around August."

Of course, if you'd like, you can go earlier to help with the construction. You'll be paid; the factory provides meals and accommodation. They're hardworking and conscientious. After you join, they'll even assign you housing, so you don't need to worry about accommodation at all.

Having been influenced by Ruan Ruan and Zheng Xuyang over the past two years, Huo Haocheng now speaks eloquently about recruitment.

After hearing Huo Haocheng's introduction, they were all very interested, especially the part about being guaranteed housing.

You should know that houses cannot be bought and sold now. Those who need them do so secretly and privately. Then, both parties write a certificate, give the local government a bribe, and get them to notarize the transaction. That's it.

If you're a worker, you still have to wait a long time for the factory to allocate housing. Nowadays, many worker families in the city are crammed together in a small room of only a few dozen square meters.

If things are like this here, then the political center of the capital must be even worse.

The group looked at each other, then gritted their teeth and decided to go with them. "Brother Huo, thank you for thinking of us. We've decided that once we've finished dealing with our current matters, we'll go to the capital."

"Alright, here is our address and phone number in Beijing. Once you've taken care of things, just come find us at this address." Hearing that they had decided to go to Beijing, Huo Haocheng took out a note he had prepared earlier from his pocket and handed it to them.

After finishing their business, Huo Haocheng and the others drove home.

On the way, Fu Mingyi asked, "Aren't you afraid they won't agree?" He was skeptical about Huo Haocheng's pre-prepared note. When did Huo Haocheng become so confident that he even prepared things in advance?

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a piece of paper, it doesn't take up much space, and it's best if it can be used. Besides, my wife's factory has such good conditions. I only asked them in advance because of Zheng Xuyang. Otherwise, you can ask around. When other people hear that my wife's factory is hiring, not just people from Beijing, but people all over the country, will come if they have the opportunity."

As for the conditions at Ruan Ruan's factory, Huo Haocheng wasn't exaggerating; compared to other factories across the country, none offered the same benefits. Back in Yuncheng, the most common thing the soldiers said was, "When they retire, I wonder if they'll have a chance to work at your factory."

So, whenever he saw others casting envious glances at him, Huo Haocheng would hold his head high, like a proud peacock.

"That's true..." He had heard about the benefits of Ruanruan Factory even back in Shenyang. One was the hemostatic medicine for their Public Security Bureau, which was delivered regularly by the pharmaceutical factory. The other was his wife, Huo Yue. At first, Huo Yue received letters from Ruanruan. Later, after Huo Haoshi and his wife went there, she would receive letters from Li Huan every month. In her letters, she wrote mostly about the benefits at Ruanruan Factory, as well as the school and supermarket.

Every time Fu Mingyi heard something about Ruan Ruan from Huo Yue, he would exclaim, "Huo Haocheng is so lucky!"

Back home, Huo Haocheng told Ruan Ruan what had happened.

Afterwards, Ruan Ruan called Zheng Xuyang again, saying that they would be returning to Beijing the next day, and if they were ready, they should come over as soon as possible.

It's already May, so we should start construction as soon as possible and try to get it started in early July. That way, when an earthquake strikes, we won't have to bring medicine from Yuncheng anymore.

However, supplies still need to be prepared in advance. Even if the leaders above have already started making preparations, unexpected events are inevitable.

"Sigh..." As she thought about it, Ruan Ruan suddenly realized that she had a lot of things to do again.

After settling things at home, the group set off before dawn the next day. Because there were many people traveling this time, Fu Mingyi specially borrowed a vehicle from the army.

The train arrived in Beijing at 7 p.m. They were picked up by Bai Sirui and Ruan Shaoke. Ruan Shaohong and Ruan Shaolin had packed a lot of food for them from the state-run restaurant when they set off to pick them up.

They can have dinner as soon as they get home.

It was too late tonight, so after dropping the person off, they went home first. They also mentioned that the elders of the families knew that the old man had come to the capital and that they would like to visit the family after they had rested.

In response, Mr. Huo said that he would like to come to his home for a get-together on the weekend when everyone has time.

Having obtained the exact time, Ruan Shaohong and his men were able to return and report back.
