Chapter 137 Going to the Provincial Capital to Check Out the Goods

"Boss Lu isn't here, and there's nothing going on on the ninth floor. I'll be back soon after I finish cleaning." Cai Ting plucked a cucumber from the basket and munched on it. "But I won't be idle for many more days. I heard he'll be back soon."

"What does his coming back have to do with you?" Chen Xiaohong lit a cigarette and found one for Su Jiaojiao. When Su Jiaojiao said no, she threw it back into the vegetable basket and teased, "It sounds like your relationship is not normal."

"Stop talking nonsense." Cai Ting rolled her eyes and continued chewing her cucumber. "Boss Lu isn't here, so Assistant Wang is the only one on the ninth floor. When he comes back, there are meetings every day. With so many people, I have to go up and clean the meeting room more often!"

"Oh, I was hoping that since Jiao Jiao had a day off, we could all get together for dinner and drinks tomorrow." Chen Xiaohong blew out a smoke ring. "Now that she's gone, and you're so busy, we'll have to wait a few more days."

"Jiaojiao, where are you going?" Cai Ting asked Su Jiaojiao.

"Let's go to the provincial capital to look at leather materials." In fact, the person Su Jiaojiao wanted to take the most was Cai Ting, but she and Cai Ting were not that close in this life. She was still a waiter at China Travel Service, not her assistant.

"You're going into the leather business!" Cai Ting knew Su Jiaojiao was doing business and was very impressed. She asked her with bright eyes, "Do you have a regular source of goods?"

"No, this time a friend introduced me to a source of goods, and this is my first time there." Su Jiaojiao said truthfully, "I heard that the leather in the provincial capital is cheaper, so I went there during the summer vacation to check it out."

"There's a Tianqiao clothing wholesale market in the provincial capital. If you're free, go check it out." Cai Ting wasn't very familiar with the provincial capital, but she had spent half a month there, so she knew a little bit about it. Chen Xiaohong suddenly remembered and said to Cai Ting, "Remember you looked for a job in the provincial capital? Tell Jiao Jiao if there's anything fun or delicious there."

"There are lots of delicious food and fun things to do around the Tianqiao Clothing Wholesale Market." Cai Ting thought for a moment and then said, "You can take a bus from Jiaoxian Bus Station to the Provincial Capital Bus Station. Then, take a minibus from there. There are direct buses."

"Jiaojiao, I'll take you to the bus station tomorrow morning." Chen Xiaohong put out her cigarette and said sharply, "Next time, just tell me where you two are going. I'll be your free driver."

"Okay, then thank you, Sister Xiaohong." Su Jiaojiao had passed by the provincial capital before, but had never been there. She wanted to say something when she saw a black jeep stop in front of the three of them. The window rolled down, and Wang Hua stuck his head out and said to Su Jiaojiao, "Student Su, you look so leisurely!"

"Wang Zhu." Su Jiaojiao stood up and walked to his car, smiling, "Did you just get off work?"

"Yeah, Mr. Lu isn't here, so I have to keep a closer eye on things." The snack street wasn't wide, and once Wang Hua's car stopped, it felt very crowded. Without turning off the engine, he said to Su Jiaojiao, "Mr. Lu called and asked if the winter school uniform samples were ready. He said he'd ask you to show them to him when he gets back. They're still on the ninth floor."

"Okay, we'll send it over once the sample is ready." Su Jiaojiao agreed readily.

After chatting for a few minutes, Wang Hua drove away.

When Su Jiaojiao returned to the vegetable shed, Chen Xiaohong looked at her with an ambiguous expression: "Jingjiao, something's going on!"

"Sister Xiaohong, it's not what you think." Su Jiaojiao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Cai Ting heard everything Su Jiaojiao said to Wang Hua clearly and was surprised: "I don't remember Jiaojiao going to Guolv, let alone seeing you go to see Assistant Wang."

"You're a man insulator, so of course you can't see it." Chen Xiaohong rolled her eyes and blew a smoke ring at her. "Pepper has already gone to the China Travel Service for dinner. By the time you see her, they might be getting married."

"Jingjiao, next time you go to Guolv, come find me. Just ask at the front desk and you'll know." Cai Ting was used to Chen Xiaohong's complaints and didn't care. "I heard from Xiaohong that you all bought houses in Century Garden. I'm so envious!"

"Why are you buying a house if you're not even looking for a partner?" Chen Xiaohong teased Cai Ting again, "Look at Jiao Jiao. She's still in school and already got an assistant position at Jiahe Group. You should learn from her."

Cai Ting opened her eyes wide and looked at Su Jiaojiao: "Is this true?"

"That's not true!" Su Jiaojiao was speechless and poked Chen Xiaohong, "Stop talking nonsense. Wang Zhu and I are just acquaintances."

"Then tell me, why did Assistant Wang send us away when we went to look at the house that day, leaving you alone?" Chen Xiaohong snorted in disbelief. "When you came back, I saw you get out of Assistant Wang's car. How dare you say you were just acquaintances?"

"He just dropped me off on the way." Su Jiaojiao knew she couldn't explain it clearly, so she gave up. "Okay, whatever you think, it's not what you think."

"What do you think of Assistant Wang?" Chen Xiaohong asked Cai Ting.

"It's OK," Cai Ting replied without hesitation. "It's pretty good. He's very kind to us and doesn't put on airs."

"Jingjiao has good taste." Chen Xiaohong nodded seriously and said to Su Jiaojiao, "I know you want to say you're in school, and I didn't ask you to date right away. Just be friends. Wang Jian and I have known each other for many years, but we didn't get along from the beginning. I met him the earliest, but we dated the latest. Counting it all together, he's the eighth person I've dated, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the last one."

"Right, right, that's right," Cai Ting agreed. "Xiaohong's idea is to find a few more friends to chat with. If you feel attracted to someone, just date them. If not, just be friends. It won't delay anything anyway."

Su Jiaojiao: “…”

Early the next morning, Chen Xiaohong sent Su Jiaojiao to Jiaoxian Bus Station.

When she got on the bus, he stuffed two buns into her hand and asked her to eat them in the car.

Su Jiaojiao was very touched: "Thank you, Sister Xiaohong."

She had eaten at home and was not hungry.

He put it in his bag as if it were a treasure.

"What are you thanking me for? Don't worry about the things at home." Chen Xiaohong waved at her from outside the window and whistled, "Have a safe trip."

There are still quite a lot of people going to the provincial capital.

Some were visiting relatives, some were doing business, and everyone was carrying bags and clamoring for seats.

Su Jiaojiao got on the bus early and went to the last row with her suitcase. She put the suitcase in the front as a table. The journey was long, so she could read a book or something. It took about six or seven hours to take a bus from Jiao County to the provincial capital. She originally wanted to take the train, but to take the train she had to go to Qingyuan City, which was 50 kilometers away from Jiao County, and the train departed at night, which was inconvenient.

When she comes back, she will take the train again.

When I came back from the provincial capital, I also took the night train and arrived in the morning.

When Su Jiaojiao left, she took Chen Guilan's heart with her.

I have no energy at work all day.

She asked Su Jiaojiao to call and report safety after arriving in the provincial capital.

It was already noon and she still hadn't received her call. Chen Guilan was uneasy and restless. She regretted not going with her daughter. If she had gone, she wouldn't have been so tormented.

Li Na knew Su Jiaojiao had gone to the provincial capital, so she comforted Chen Guilan, "Don't worry, it's been at least seven hours on the road, and it's only been six hours, so she definitely hasn't arrived yet!"

As they were talking, Su Houli walked into the workshop, looking dusty and dusty. He walked up to Chen Guilan and smiled good-naturedly, "Guilan, I want to talk to you."

"What else do I have to talk to you about?" Chen Guilan was already annoyed, and seeing him made her even more annoyed.
