The department store in Beicheng has three floors. The third floor sells bicycles with a wide variety of products, as well as televisions.

Xu Xiangyang looked at the TV curiously. It was so small, only nine inches, not even as big as a bench.

The TV is so small, won’t you get nearsighted if you watch it for a long time?

After getting used to the ultra-thin LCD TVs of later generations, this little thing seems really miniature now.

Seeing that he was staring at the TV, Qian Wenqing said, "Brother Xu, this thing is quite expensive. It also costs money for the TV ticket."

His family does have one, but he got it through a lot of connections.

Xu Xiangyang nodded, "It's indeed quite expensive."

He just heard the salesperson mention that it wanted five hundred yuan, and also wanted TV tickets, plane tickets and other tickets.

Five hundred yuan can buy three bicycles. Who would have the time to buy this thing?

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t any. No matter when, there will always be people who consume good things.

The two of them walked around for a long time but didn't buy anything.

Xu Xiangyang doesn't have much money, and he has to keep the money in his pocket for crossing the river. A grown man can't be penniless when he reaches into his pocket, right?

Qian Wenqing didn't buy anything because he had no money. Although he dressed very formally, he spent all his monthly salary in the first ten days after receiving his salary.

It’s only the middle of the month, where can I find the money?

The two of them went back empty-handed, and it was almost time for dinner.

When Chen Jiancai saw the two men coming back, he did not scold them, but took out two pieces of paper and handed them to Qian Wenqing.

"Here are your meal tickets for both of you. Just wait by the car after you finish eating."

So you can eat here?

Xu Xiangyang was satisfied and was just thinking about whether to go out for dinner.

You need to spend food coupons to eat out, so you should save as much as you can at this time. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't spend your savings.

The two of them went to the cafeteria with their meal tickets. Later, Chen Jiancai came over, but he was accompanied by a man in his fifties who was wearing glasses and holding a bag.

Xu Xiangyang had heard Qian Wenqing mention before that there was a director traveling with them this time, and it seemed that this was the one.

The two men entered the staff cafeteria and then went to a private room.

Seeing that he was still looking, Qian Wenqing said, "Master Chen and Director Liu are being treated to a meal, so we can only eat in the cafeteria."

This happened often before, and he was used to it.

Xu Xiangyang nodded without saying anything and followed him to the cafeteria window to get food.

The food here is very good, with cabbage, tofu, vermicelli noodles, and shredded green beans. The soup is full of oil, and it looks like a lot of meat oil was added.

"Comrade, give more beans and less cabbage." Qian Wenqing also saw it, of course, and mainly shredded more beans.

Xu Xiangyang had the same specifications as him, because everyone else did the same. It was rare that the cafeteria put extra oil, and who wouldn't want to eat more oil?

The food tasted average, but Xu Xiangyang didn't complain. After eating and drinking his fill, he went to the side to wait.

The leader hasn't finished his meal yet, so they have to wait.

Qian Wenqing smacked his lips, glanced at the time and said, "I guess he's drinking, otherwise it wouldn't take so long."

It was like this in the past, and he had understood it long ago.

After more than half an hour, Master Chen and Director Liu came out.

After approaching, Xu Xiangyang could indeed smell the strong smell of alcohol on Director Liu, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot.

Chen Jiancai looked normal. He didn't drink because he was going to drive.

He said to the two people in front of him: "You two drive back first, I'll follow behind."

When Xu Xiangyang saw Director Liu get into the jeep next to him, he knew what was going on.

"Let's go." He called Qian Wenqing, and the two drove out first.

Director Liu drank a lot and felt dizzy.

"Old Chen, when we get back, unload the car first and take me home."

Chen Jiancai quickly nodded in agreement, then drove back.

Along the way, Xu Xiangyang asked about the Grain Bureau, and Qian Wenqing did not hide anything.

After all, anyone could find out by asking around, and Xu Xiangyang was teaching him how to drive, so naturally he would answer this little question.

"Our Director Liu is a heavy drinker, he loves smoking and drinking, these are all expensive things!"

Qian Wenqing said this with an envious look on his face. "People who enjoy this these days are all wealthy. Otherwise, it's simply impossible to enjoy it."

Xu Xiangyang, however, felt nothing. This was perfectly normal in the future. Aren't these the only things men like? Besides, as long as he didn't gamble or go to the toilet, there wouldn't be a big problem.

After returning to the Grain Bureau, Xu Xiangyang drove the car to the unloading area.

The outer packaging is all wooden boxes, and I don’t know what’s inside.

He didn't ask much. The affairs of the bureau were handled by the leaders. He was just a small driver and all he had to do was work honestly.

To outsiders, being a truck driver may be a good job, but in front of his boss, he is no different from other ordinary workers.

Xu Xiangyang's greatest strength is his self-awareness and ability to assess the situation. Otherwise, he would never have been able to rise from a mere employee to the boss's most trusted person in his previous life.

The goods were loaded and unloaded quickly, he drove the car back, and then he could sit and wait for the end of the day.

When walking towards the lounge, Xu Xiangyang suddenly heard someone crying.

It's working hours now, why would someone be crying?

He looked curiously in the direction of the sound and saw two women talking about something.

Among them was a little girl sitting on the ground crying, and the woman standing next to her looked helpless.

"What's wrong?" Qian Wenqing came over from behind and saw that he was watching the fun.

Xu Xiangyang shook his head. "I don't know either."

Qian Wenqing was a gossipy person, so he immediately ran over to watch the fun and pulled Xu Xiangyang over as well.

Xu Xiangyang: ...

He shouldn't have watched too much. How could he just watch such a lively scene? Especially when it came to lesbians, it would easily lead to gossip.

After all, they are all young gay men. If they like to watch the fun like female lesbians, who knows what people will say about them.

"Accountant Liu? What's going on?" When Qian Wenqing got closer, he found that he recognized this person.

Isn’t this Liu Honglan from the accounting office? Xu Xiangyang met her once before when he went to the accounting office to settle wages.

The girl on the ground was the one I had seen before, the girl with almond-shaped eyes.

But she looked a little disheveled at this time, her clothes were covered with dust and her hair was messy.

There were traces of tears on his face, and he looked very miserable.

When Liu Honglan saw someone coming, and it was someone from the Grain Bureau, her expression became unsettled.

To be honest, this is all a family matter. Who would have thought that this girl would cause such a fuss here?

This is not the end yet. If someone else sees it, who knows how it will be spread tomorrow.

"Xiao Qian, it's nothing. This child is disobedient and won't listen no matter what I say." She said helplessly, but she was a little anxious in her heart.

If we don't let them go, more people will come over to watch the fun.
