Although the hotel was more luxurious, he chose not to stay there.

After all, he has a lot of money, and his subsidy is limited, so he can't spend it indiscriminately.

Besides, he lives in the space at night, so it doesn’t matter where he lives.

If it weren't for the convenience of people from his company finding him, he would have wanted to find a place to stay directly in the space to save money.

After eating something casually, Xu Xiangyang went back and prepared to go shopping as soon as he got up the next morning.

Shopping is not gender-specific. Why is shopping something women enjoy? Men also enjoy spending money.

Everyone wants to buy good things when they have money, regardless of gender.

The next morning, Xu Xiangyang prepared the money and bills, and then set off in high spirits.

Shopping brings joy to both body and soul! Let’s buy some!

The department store in Shanghai is five stories high. Wow, I don’t know what day it is today, but there are so many people coming in, as if it’s almost Chinese New Year.

Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment. Isn’t it almost the New Year?

He followed the people in and found that all the counters were crowded with people, as if they didn't need any money or tickets to buy things, they could just take whatever they wanted.

How can I buy things here? There are so many people. Do I have to go in and grab the things?

"The defective goods counter is open!"

I don't know who shouted, but most of the people ran to the other side.

Xu Xiangyang has no interest in defective products. Why would he buy defective products if he has money in his pocket?

He squeezed directly onto the counter and didn't even see what was being sold.

There is no such thing as queuing now. It’s all crowded. Who would queue?

If you can't buy something, what's the point of queuing? Just squeeze in and maybe you can grab it, then you can buy it.

Xu Xiangyang saw the things displayed on the counter and bought a few of everything he could.

He didn't buy much during the trip, but he was almost squeezed into a pancake.

There are too many people here, it’s hard to squeeze in.

He came out carrying his things and stood at the door to take a breath. People outside were still pushing in.

Because he had no local tickets or national tickets, there was not much he could buy.

But it doesn’t matter. The space has everything it needs, so just take it out before going home.

I came here today just to wander around, and I have to say, Shanghai is a bit like the big cities in the 1980s, and it has developed much better than other cities.

Especially in terms of supply, there are many things that Xincheng has never seen, let alone provide.

Xu Xiangyang walked back with his things and bought some local specialties without spending much money.

Back at the hotel, he sat at the second-floor window, watching the people coming and going on the street below.

In addition to trams and buses, there are also many people riding bicycles on the road. Cars are usually used by leaders, so there are not many of them.

In this way, he stayed here for two days, but Gu Panyun never came to see him.

Xu Xiangyang looked at the calendar. The Chinese New Year was just a dozen days away. If he delayed any longer, he might not be able to go home for the New Year.

And I don’t know where this person has been and why he hasn’t come. Is something wrong?

He couldn't just keep waiting like this. He remembered the day when Gu Panyun handed him a piece of paper after negotiating with him.

Xu Xiangyang turned around and searched in the house, and happened to see a piece of paper on the table at the door.

He picked it up and took a look, and it was indeed the man's address.

I got dressed and looked at the time. It was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon. He should be there at this time.

When we arrived at Gu Panyun's residence, it was also a state-owned hotel, but it looked much better than the one Xu Xiangyang lived in.

He asked at the front desk, "Excuse me, is there a comrade named Gu Panyun here? I have something to ask her."

The waiter glanced at him and said, "Could you please show me your letter of introduction?"

This was the normal procedure, so Xu Xiangyang took out a piece of paper and showed it to her.

The waiter nodded and said, "Go sit over there for a while, I'll go ask."

She pointed to a bench nearby.

Xu Xiangyang sat there and waited, and the waiter would go and ask.

Not long after, Gu Panyun was seen coming down from the second floor.

"Comrade Xu, why are you here?" She looked apologetic. In fact, she knew very well why Xu Xiangyang came here.

Xu Xiangyang stood up and said, "Comrade Gu, it's been two days, and the accessories are not ready yet? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I need to go home before the New Year."

He had originally planned to go back before the Chinese New Year so that he could spend time with his family buying New Year's goods, but now it seems that it would be good enough if he could just go back for the Chinese New Year.

Gu Panyun felt helpless when she heard his words. She sighed and said, "Comrade Xu, I have no choice. The parts factory has not given me the goods, and I am waiting too."

Who doesn't want to go home for the New Year? She wants to go home for the New Year too! But this thing is not finished yet, so she is wasting time here.

Xu Xiangyang frowned and said nothing. He didn't know what was going on here.

No one wants something like this to happen. The most important thing is to solve the problem, otherwise everyone will have to spend the New Year here.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Panyun continued, "I went to look for them this morning, and they said to wait a little longer. I've been waiting for almost half a month. Who wouldn't be anxious?"

The factory refused to deliver the goods, so the products just sat there, and she was just a buyer, so how could she reason with them?

Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment and said, "Comrade Gu, how about this? You take me there, and we'll go together. I'll see if there's any way out. This isn't going to work."

Gu Panyun nodded immediately after hearing this. If the other party saw a gay man, they might agree.

After all, she didn't know the reason before, so it would be best if she could go together.

The two of them went to the parts factory in Shanghai together. It was quite far from the city center and took about 40 minutes by tram and bus.

Xu Xiangyang looked at Gu Panyun beside him. Her face was pale and her brows were furrowed.

"Comrade Gu, are you okay?" Could this man have suffered from heatstroke?

But the weather is not hot, at most 18 or 19 degrees Celsius, how could I get heatstroke?

Gu Panyun shook her head, holding her stomach, and couldn't tell where it hurt.

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll be there soon. This is an old problem and it will be fine in a while." She gritted her teeth and lowered her head to relax for a while.

Seeing her like this, Xu Xiangyang didn't say much and waited for her to recover.

After about five minutes, Gu Panyun's expression improved a little, and he said, "Let's go, Comrade Xu. Sorry for taking up your time."

What's the point of delaying this? Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything. Seeing that she was feeling better, they went to the parts factory together.

The factory here is very large and there are people blocking the door.

"What are you doing here?" The gatekeeper came out and saw Gu Panyun, and he knew what they were here for.

"Comrade Gu, didn't you come here this morning? Why are you here again?"

This time I got to know everyone well.

Gu Panyun looked at the man and said, "My colleague came over to ask, I didn't understand it this morning."
