Chapter 299

Because Ji Wanmei is going to Pingdong City again this weekend.

So on Friday afternoon, Ji Wanmei went to the attic to help Lei Tingjun pack his clothes.

When they were enrolling, they all thought that Lei Tingjun would be staying in East China regularly.

That's why I've already rented a house.

But now that the development zone project has been taken over, Lei Tingjun's focus will shift back to Pingdong.

Since coming to East China became a rare occurrence, Ji Wanmei had no choice but to pack some of his usual clothes and belongings and bring them to him.

Lei Tingjun is generous to Ji Wanmei and to his brothers, but he is very frugal with himself and has very few possessions.

A trip to East China only requires one tote bag to pack all your daily necessities.

Moving things around is too much trouble, so Ji Wanmei tidied up for a while, but when she looked at his few changes of clothes, she suddenly decided not to tidy up anymore.

Why don't we just go and buy him a few new sets?

However, when she takes it over, Lei Tingjun will definitely say that he works on construction sites all day long, covered in dust, and he can't bear to wear the new clothes she bought for him and get them dirty.

However, Lei Tingjun is no longer an ordinary transport team leader.

He was Boss Lei, who was in charge of the entire development zone project. Even when he was on the construction site, he could still wear his old clothes to work.

However, when you go to talk to the bosses of suppliers and material suppliers about cooperation, you need to have some presentable attire that can be worn in various occasions.

Thunder Army never considers this aspect of their own lives.

He was used to being rough around the edges, and he could go to the mayor's dinner party wearing any old clothes he had on hand.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but he couldn't control what the other party thought.

Therefore, Ji Wanmei still has to take care of these little details in his life.

Ji Wanmei took a taxi to the department store and bought two sets of affordable yet high-end clothes for Lei Tingjun.

Considering that he spends most of his time on construction sites, and the weather is about to turn hot in summer, he needs to focus on absorbing sweat and preventing heatstroke.

For everyday wear, Ji Wanmei usually chooses cotton and linen short-sleeved shirts and lightweight pants.

Not knowing if Lei Tingjun would buy her a change of underwear, Ji Wanmei thought for a moment and figured he probably wouldn't have time, so she went to the men's clothing section and bought him two boxes of underwear.

A shirt is meant to be worn with a suit.

The suit I made for him last time is also in the final stages of completion.

Therefore, she needed to buy something of higher quality. Ji Wanmei went to a brand menswear store and selected two white shirts with slightly different styles.

After returning in the evening, Ji Wanmei took the clothes and tools to the attic and spent the whole night working on them, finally finishing all her handmade suits.

I can bring it to him tomorrow.

Lei Tingjun was busy, and Ji Wanmei was busy too.

Running between two places, there is hope for the future; it's tiring but fulfilling.

***

On Saturday, Ji Wanmei boarded a bus to Pingdong carrying a full suitcase.

The bus swayed and rattled, and it would take three hours to get there.

Ji Wanmei took advantage of the time and dozed off for a while in the car.

When I woke up, the bus had already pulled into the station.

Lei Tingjun had received a call from Ji Wanmei and was going to pick her up at the station.

Ji Wanmei got off the car with her luggage and saw Lei Tingjun standing in front of the barrier at the exit, smoking.

Upon seeing her get out of the car, Lei Tingjun stubbed out his cigarette, threw it on the ground, and strode towards her.

Ji Wanmei ran over to meet him.

When Lei Tingjun first saw Ji Wanmei, his dark eyes lingered on her for a moment, his brows furrowed, and he raised his hand to touch her cheek: "How come you seem to have lost weight after only a few days back?"

His low, hoarse voice was filled with heartache.

I know that making her run back and forth during this period has exhausted her.

"Really?" Ji Wanmei touched her cheek; she didn't feel anything.

Maybe it's because I stayed up late last night making suits and didn't sleep well.

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well, I'll be fine after a rest."

As Ji Wanmei spoke, she picked up the luggage bag in her hand and gestured, "I brought you some clothes."

Lei Tingjun stepped forward and embraced Ji Wanmei's slender body: "Meimei, I don't want you to be so tired. I've sorted things out on the project side. I'll come to see you at school from now on, so please don't keep running back and forth. It hurts me to see you get so thin."

The station entrances and exits are bustling with people.

Ji Wanmei was pulled into Lei Tingjun's arms by his tall figure. The weather was already getting hot as May approached, and passersby would occasionally glance at them.

Fortunately, Ji Wanmei was petite, and when she buried her face in the man's arms, no one could see her.

"Okay, okay, I'm not tired." Ji Wanmei tugged at the hem of his clothes, indicating that he could let go, since everyone was watching.

"There's something else I want to tell you about this trip."

Lei Tingjun naturally took the luggage from her and carried it. The two walked towards the station exit while talking.

"The landlord of the attic is going back to his hometown, so I rented his bookstore. I plan to open a video store near the school. Find me a few renovation workers to come back to East China with me tomorrow to do the renovations. I need to go to Guangdong to buy supplies during the May Day holiday."

Lei Tingjun stopped in his tracks: "Guangdong?"

“Hmm.” Ji Wanmei nodded. “The audio-visual tape and DVD industry is currently booming in Hong Kong, and Guangdong, which is close to it, is gradually emerging as well. If I want to purchase goods, I have to go to Guangdong.”

Lei Tingjun's face first showed a layer of anxiety: "Are you going for May Day? Then I'll go back and arrange the work of my subordinates in the next few days, and then I'll squeeze out some time to go with you."
