Chapter 23 Going on a Long Trip



Tang Xuezhen looked at Lin Chuan with great surprise.

He is indeed going to Jincheng for a meeting in a couple of days.

How could Lin Chuan, who lives in the countryside, know this?

Could Lin Chuan be foreshadowing something?

That's impossible!

Could it be that Lin Chuan knows some inside information?

However, even if there were any inside stories, Lin Chuan shouldn't know them.

Lin Chuan wasn't sure if Tang Xuezhen would really believe him, but he asked for such a high price in order to get Tang Xuezhen's attention.

If he truly doesn't believe it and doesn't take any action, there's nothing he can do.

Tang Xuezhen squeezed the two wooden puppies in his hand. "Young man, there's something more to your words. How did you know I'd be going to Jincheng for a meeting in a couple of days?"

Lin Chuan made up a random excuse, "I heard someone from Xuancheng mention it in the county town a couple of days ago."

Tang Xuezhen thought about it for a moment, then decided on Xuancheng.

He did come from Xuancheng. Just now, everyone called him Team Leader Tang, but they didn't mention that he came from Xuancheng.

It seems they really did hear something.

He shook the puppy in his hand. "Thanks, little brother."

Qian Jinhua and Xu Chunmai had no idea what Lin Chuan and Tang Xuezhen had said.

Lin Chuan entered the house and handed thirty yuan to Xu Chunmai, saying, "This is my newly earned money, here you go."

Xu Chunmai just saw Lin Chuan selling those two wooden puppies.

"Da Chuan, you sold those two wooden puppies for thirty yuan?"

Is this thing really that valuable?

Lin Chuan sat down. "Of course, it's purely handmade, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires skill, so of course it's expensive."

Xu Chunmai felt like she was dreaming.

Is money really that easy to make now?

However, it's also possible that her husband did an exceptionally good job, hence the higher price.

Who can blame me when my man is so capable?

Lin Chuan certainly couldn't explain that Tang Xuezhen was going to have a car accident, but fortunately Xu Chunmai didn't ask any further questions.

Anyway, she'll just imagine how amazing her man is.

Whatever you do is right.

For the next two days, Lin Chuan didn't go out. He stayed home and focused on making the car he wanted, preparing to start his own business.

As for the carpentry work, it's definitely not something you can just abandon.

However, there isn't always work available; you have to wait.

So, since selling noodles and braised meat is profitable, I'll start with that.

Moreover, he believes that his "Spring Wheat Noodle Shop" was able to become a global sensation in his previous life, and it can do the same in this life!

Tang Xuezhen and his inspection team returned to Xuancheng early the next morning.

He kept the car issue that Lin Chuan had mentioned on his mind.

Some things are better believed to exist than not.

However, he didn't publicize it widely; he simply asked Wei Liang, his trusted secretary, to come over.

Wei Liang was always by his side, and he could drive when they went out.

Originally, he had planned to drive to Jincheng with Wei Liang.

That afternoon, Tang Xuezhen was going out, so early in the morning, Wei Liang called her over.

"Go and get the car checked, so it doesn't break down on the way this afternoon."

Wei Liang was always thorough in his work. After receiving Tang Xuezhen's instructions, he even specially called people from the car repair shop to help with the inspection.

It would have been fine if they hadn't checked, but after the inspection, Wei Liang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Deputy Director, Engineer Wang said after his inspection..."

Seeing Wei Liang's hesitation, Tang Xuezhen had some bad thoughts. "Speak your mind."

"Mr. Wang said the brakes had probably been tampered with. You wouldn't notice any problems driving it for a short time, but on long trips, the brake pads would wear down and the brakes would fail..."

Tang Xuezhen's hand, which was writing, stopped in mid-air, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

After a long pause, he waved his hand at Wei Liang, "Send the car for inspection, go buy bus tickets, and don't tell anyone anything else for now."

While busy working on his car, Lin Chuan didn't forget to check the newspapers from the past two days.

On the third day, there was no news about the previous life in the newspaper. Lin Chuan pondered that perhaps Tang Xuezhen had listened to his words and was on guard.

He was holding the newspaper and pondering when village secretary Shen Daqiang came over.

"Dachuan, the village office is calling you. It's Jincheng calling."

Jincheng?

Lin Chuan went to the village office to answer the phone, and a familiar voice came from the other end of the receiver.

"Lin Chuan, I am Tang Xuezhen."

Lin Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Hello, Team Leader Tang."

"Lin Chuan, our furniture factory in Xuancheng recently made a batch of wardrobes and there are some problems with them. Could you come to Xuancheng to help take a look? I think your craftsmanship is quite good, and you might be able to fix it. We can discuss the payment when we meet. The furniture factory will reimburse your round-trip train tickets, and will also provide accommodation and meals."

At Tang Xuezhen's invitation, Lin Chuan was indeed prepared to make the trip.

This time, who knows, there might be a new opportunity.

After returning home, Lin Chuan began packing his things.

Xu Chunmai was very worried, after all, in her knowledge, the farthest Lin Chuan had ever been was Wangshan County.

"Da Chuan, are you sure you'll be safe going to Xuancheng by yourself? Is that Team Leader Tang a good person?"

Lin Chuan understood Xu Chunmai's concerns.

For Xu Chunmai, many things are beyond her comprehension.

People often feel fear about things that are beyond their comprehension.

Lin Chuan comforted Xu Chunmai, "Chunmai, Xuancheng isn't far from Wangshan County. It's only a three-hour bus ride. I think Team Leader Tang is a decent guy. If this job goes well, we can earn a lot. Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of myself. Wait for my good news."

Xu Chunmai knew that she could not stop Lin Chuan's progress.

She nodded. "Dachuan, I trust you. Take care of yourself."
