"Yes, something came up at home, so I came to ask for leave." Su Ti saw the leave slip in her hand, and even more so, her haggard face.

Meng Yixuan's incident happened so long ago that everyone has gradually forgotten about it, but it seems that Zhu Qingling hasn't gotten over it yet.

"I'm going on a blind date. If this one works out, I'll never come to the Reform Department again." Zhu Qingling knew that this time there was a very good chance.

The man is older and has a slight stutter, but fortunately he has a good job. His parents sacrificed their lives to save supplies for the factory.

He already had a job, and the factory even offered him an office job as compensation.

If this job works out, she'll sell her current job and find another one; they can help her find one there too.

"Well... I wish you success?" Suti replied with a smile, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Zhu Qingling nodded, suddenly realizing she seemed to have nothing more to say.

Only after Suti had walked away did she come to her senses; it seemed she had never truly understood this person.

Suti seems to have never changed, so why does she think they would be good friends?

To be fair, if Suti knew what she was thinking behind her back, she would probably think that she was an unreliable friend.

She always thought she was smart, but she couldn't see through Meng Yixuan, and she couldn't see through Su Ti either.

They were having a meal together not long ago, and their faces were beaming with smiles.

But now, looking back, it all seems like a dream.

The scenes in the dream were very unrealistic; now everything has returned to reality.

Zhu Qingling had a vague feeling that she couldn't outmaneuver these people, and that she should stay away from them.

She gripped the leave slip tightly in her hand, determined to succeed this time.

Suti didn't have the mind to think about what Zhu Qingling was thinking. From the beginning, she had the right mindset: the people here were not to be trusted.

When Baichuan arrived, Su Ti happily got into the car and went with him to pick up his grandmother and child.

When they arrived home, they saw Biancheng jump down from the back, and Suti realized that there was a hidden world in the back carriage.

"You even added an extra bed? Won't your colleagues say anything if they see this?" Su Ti saw that the room was full of goods.

A small space was left at the very back, where a double bed was added.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, the company doesn't know. We added it ourselves after we finished loading the goods," Biancheng said with a grin.

He originally thought that this transport was really because Brother Chuan wanted to visit relatives, but on the way, Brother Chuan said that they had to take care of serious business.

He's really excited right now; he's made a lot of money since he started following Brother Chuan.

Making money without any risk, because Brother Chuan has a veteran backer who can inform him of everything in advance.

For so long he's been quietly picking up money in the back, and now his parents look at him more favorably, unlike before when they used to scold him every day as a brat.

Now his father doesn't lift a finger anymore. What he says most is to follow the people and not cause trouble for his brother Chuan.

He also said he was lucky to have such a connection, and told him to be more clever.

Biancheng knew perfectly well that his relationship with Brother Chuan was based on genuine sincerity. Even if Brother Chuan were an ordinary person, he would still consider him a brother.

He always admired Brother Chuan wholeheartedly. He knew that if he followed Brother Chuan, even if he was at his worst, he could still make something of himself.

It's better than him drifting aimlessly through life, wasting his days.

"No wonder Baichuan often praises you for being smart; you are indeed very clever." Suti smiled as she looked at the person who was trying to outsmart her.

She knew that Baichuan and he had a good relationship, and she also liked his straightforward personality.

"Does Brother Chuan often mention me to his wife? That's how I know I'm important to him."

Biancheng watched them pack their things with a chuckle, and then watched as Brother Chuan carried the person upstairs.

"Alright, stop joking around and get in the car. Master Lu didn't come with us this time, so it'll just be the two of us driving. The transport team wasn't comfortable with us, but I made sure to assure them repeatedly."

"We need to be extra careful, all my precious things are in the car." Li Baichuan could see back from this window.

Seeing his wife put the child on the bed and talk to his grandmother, I realized that this was different from before, when his wife and child were in the car.

"I understand, Brother Chuan. Don't worry, I'll drive very smoothly." Biancheng quickly sat up straight when he saw Brother Chuan's serious expression.

The goods themselves weren't important; the most valuable person on the truck was his sister-in-law, and he understood that.

"Grandma, you rest for a while. We'll give Grandpa and Grandma a surprise when we go to Shanghai tonight." Su Ti saw the smile on her grandmother's face and knew she was happy.

“Your maternal grandparents must be very happy. They met Chaochao and Hehe when they were just born. Every time they talk on the phone, your maternal grandparents have to say a few words to them.”

"Even if the two little ones cry and fuss, they love them dearly. If they weren't tied up right now, they would have run back countless times."

"By the way, besides delivering goods, do you and Baichuan have any other business in Shanghai?" Old Mrs. Guo thought that they probably wouldn't stay for long.

"Baichuan said I could stay there for a few more days. My work isn't too busy either, so I took five days off and will see how things go later."

Suti didn't mention going to the black market, partly because she didn't want her grandmother to worry, but more importantly because the matter wasn't confirmed yet.

"Alright, this is Chaochao and Hehe's first time in Shanghai, so we should take them out to meet people." Grandma Guo thought they would only be staying for a day or two.

I was happy to have five days, and I smiled with satisfaction as I looked at the two children who fell asleep as soon as they got on the bus.

Suti and her grandmother chatted idly in the back, occasionally glancing out the window at the front.

Except for stopping to rest and eat along the way, they did not stop at all.

The two took turns driving and didn't arrive in Shanghai until dark.

"Brother Chuan, shall we go deliver the goods first?" Biancheng thought that the steel mill was in a hurry and was probably still waiting for the goods.

He wasn't comfortable leaving this truckload of goods anywhere.

"Let's deliver the goods first, and then we'll go back." Suti also wanted to finish the business as soon as possible, and use the remaining time to deal with his own affairs.

"Alright then." Li Baichuan had originally planned to send his wife and the others back first before dealing with the goods.

After my wife spoke up, I figured it would be best to pack up and go home in peace.

Li Baichuan drove directly to the steel plant in Shanghai. With two local Shanghainese following behind, there was no need to ask for directions.

When they arrived at the location, the steel mill had already closed for the day. Li Baichuan stepped forward, showed his credentials, and the gatekeeper contacted the receiving clerk.

It seemed they had indeed informed them and were waiting for them. Li Baichuan waited until the people arrived before going upstairs to make the bed.

Suti and her grandmother held the child and rested in the front seats.

He and Biancheng took the slips of paper and went to the back to check the goods with those people.
