She got up quietly, stretched her arms, then went to the window and looked out. It was pitch black outside and she couldn't see anything.

"Is it time?" Gao Caixue's hoarse voice sounded, and Huang Wanzhen said "hmm" softly.

The two of them worked together to lift Professor Li from the upper bunk to the floor of the carriage. Huang Wanzhen handed the food, water and flashlight prepared in advance to Gao Caixue, and waited for him to take them before turning around to lift the window.

The windows were pushed up,

"Boom—boom—"

The sound of the train was getting louder.

Huang Wanzhen made way and let Gao Caixue walk to the window. "Are you going to jump down first, or throw Professor Li down first?"

Looking out the window, Gao Caixue asked with some regret, "Do you have any large clothes? I want to wrap one for Professor Li."

Huang Wanzhen shook her head. "No, it's hot, I only brought a few thin clothes."

At this time, Song Wenyin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "I brought a fur coat that I really like, and it's estimated to be worth five hundred yuan."

The carriage was silent for a few seconds. Gao Caixue said to Huang Wanzhen in a hoarse voice, "Ms. Huang, can I lend you five hundred yuan?"

Huang Wanzhen said softly, "Okay."

Song Wenyin took out her favorite fur coat, hugged it in her arms, and handed it to Huang Wanzhen.

Huang Wanzhen took it and, together with Gao Caixue, put it on Professor Li. Fortunately, Professor Li was so thin that he was just a bag of bones, so he put it on quickly. Huang Wanzhen looked at Professor Li's head, turned around and found a fur cape in the box that Song Wenyin had opened.

"Hey, that one's two hundred dollars."

"Well, I'll give it to you when we get to Shanghai." Huang Wanzhen said as she continued to wrap up Professor Li's head.

After everything was ready, Huang Wanzhen and Gao Caixue worked together to push Professor Li out of the window. Gao Caixue followed closely and jumped down without hesitation.

The cool breeze of the summer night blew into the carriage, and Huang Wanzhen stood in front of the window for a long time without moving.

until……

"I'm so sleepy, let's close the window and go to sleep." Song Wenyin complained and yawned.

"Oh!" Huang Wanzhen came to her senses, pulled down the window, locked it, and then went to bed and lay down with her clothes on.

Everything went smoothly afterwards. After getting off the train and calling a taxi, Huang Wanzhen took Song Wenyin straight to the villa at No. 37 Ruijin Road.

Before coming this time, Huang Wanzhen did not give them any letter. After arriving, Hong Yingniang opened the door for them.

"Mr. Huang and Mr. Song are here? Oh my, my wife must be so happy."

Huang Wanzhen smiled and said, "No need to tell her specifically. You'll see her when you get home from get off work tonight."

"Go and arrange a room for Director Song first. She must be tired from the journey, so let her have a good rest."

When Huang Dongshi, Xiuzhu, Haili and Chen Hanfeng came back in the evening, everyone became lively again.

Mrs. Huang Dong held Huang Wanzhen's hand and kept looking at her. "She's taller and thinner."

Song Wenyin laughed and said, "Wanzhen didn't lose weight, she gained weight."

Mrs. Huang Dong shook her head, "You've lost weight, you've lost weight."

Song Wenyin insisted, "I've gained weight, I've gained weight."

Huang Wanzhen just smiled and said nothing. It was only when Song Wenyin asked her to say whether she had gained weight or lost weight that Huang Wanzhen smiled and said, "I have gained weight."

"Did I tell you? I just gained weight." Song Wenyin was extremely proud, as if she had won some award.

After dinner, everyone gathered together to chat about things in the shop. It was getting late, so they dispersed and went back to their rooms.

Huang Wanzhen returned to the third floor, took a check, and went to the second floor to knock on Song Wenyin's door.

Song Wenyin asked through the door, "Who is it?"

"I, Wanzhen."

Song Wenyin, wearing a silk pajamas, opened the door for Huang Wanzhen and said, "Come in."

Huang Wanzhen went in, closed the door, and handed the check to Song Wenyin, "Seven hundred yuan."

Song Wenyin took a blanket and put it on the bed, motioning Huang Wanzhen to sit down. "Are you really going to give it to me? It's not yours to use, so why should you give it to me?"

Huang Wanzhen was stunned by what she said, "Ah? Isn't this what you wanted?"

Song Wenyin put her hands on her hips and said in a tough manner, "I wanted it. I asked Professor Gao for it, not you."

"When you return to Peking, go collect the debt from Professor Gao, okay? Wait, I'll write him an IOU. If he can't pay me back right now, have him sign and stamp it. He's a university professor, earning several hundred yuan a month."

Huang Wanzhen uttered a weak "Oh" and was slapped on the back by Song Wenyin. "Come on, it's just a debt collection, right? If you can't do it, I'll let my fifth brother go. He loves collecting debts and is especially good at it, but he'll charge a middleman fee."

Huang Wanzhen tilted her head to look at her, "Who is your fifth brother?"

Song Wenyin curled her lips. "You wouldn't know even if I told you. My name is Song Wenxu, and he's good at both right and wrong. Don't be fooled by the nice name. As my grandfather said, he's born with a rebellious streak. The more he's told not to do something, the more he likes to do it. He doesn't recognize his relatives. Even if we ask him to do something, he has to pay us money, and he won't give us less."

"But he treated me, his sister, better than his brothers. At least he bought me snacks when I was little. But he was too stingy, only buying a little bit and still talking about it all the time."

"You don't know how miserable my fifth sister-in-law is. He always beats her. She's almost gone crazy."

Huang Wanzhen shook her head when she heard this. "It's better not to look for your fifth brother. This matter started with me. I'll go ask Professor Gao for it."

The next day, Huang Wanzhen went to Shanghai Jixiangtang with Song Wenyin and converted a reception room on the first floor into Song Wenyin's office.

"I'm here to study. Manager Lin, please take care of the company's affairs." Song Wenyin smiled and extended her hand. Lin Zexin quickly shook it. "It's my job. Mr. Song and Mr. Huang, don't worry. I will do my best for the company."

After get off work, Song Wenyin invited the company's employees to have dinner at Fengbinlou. She talked about the current situation in Shanghai, where prices have stabilized and food prices have come down.

"Well, speaking of this, I really admire Mr. Huang's foresight. If you hadn't prepared so much food early on, the employees would have gone hungry. Even our Jixiangtang business took advantage of that favorable situation, otherwise it wouldn't have taken off so quickly." Lin Zexin raised his glass, "Come, let me toast Mr. Huang."

Huang Wanzhen stood up with a smile, "Manager Lin, we won't be toasting tonight. You can eat whatever you want and drink whatever you want. I'm the most unruly person. You can do whatever you want. I won't pick on your gifts."

Song Wenyin also laughed, "Yes, Mr. Huang and I dislike rules the most, and we never pick on people's gifts. Tonight we have no superiors or subordinates, so everyone can eat as much as they want. Don't worry about Mr. Huang and me, just pretend we're not here."

Lin Zexin came from a modern family and had been to school. Seeing them all saying this, he smiled and sat down. "Then I won't drink. To be honest, my husband really doesn't like me drinking. Our relationship has just improved recently."
