The car stopped in front of the hotel gate.
Chen Yan and Chu Yinyin got out of the car together, and the old driver drove the car back to a nearby motel.
Although he is a driver specifically for the vice president, the company has its own rules.
Of course, the vice president can stay in a five-star hotel when he is on a business trip, and Chen Yan is on unpaid leave, so the expenses are directly signed by Chu Yinyin, the vice president, but the old driver cannot have such treatment.
According to company regulations, the accommodation expenses for a driver accompanying the vice president on a business trip cannot exceed three hundred yuan per day.
Of course, if you must stay in a hotel that costs more than 300 yuan, that's fine too, but you have to bring an accommodation invoice with a total amount of no more than 300 yuan for reimbursement.
If the face value of the invoice exceeds three hundred, it will definitely not be reported.
What? What about the extra money? Of course, you have to pay for it yourself! What else can I do?
So generally speaking, drivers accompanying their leaders on business trips rarely choose to stay in high-end hotels. Instead, they will look for a hotel that meets the standards near the hotel where their leaders are staying.
Chen Yan's room was next to Chu Yinyin's. After saying good night to Chu Yinyin, Chen Yan swiped his card and entered his room.
Overall, this business trip was not tiring.
At least for Chen Yan, it is no different from a short trip.
The only difference is that for short trips, you get off the bus at a scenic spot to take photos, then get back on the bus and head straight to the next scenic spot.
As for him, he would get off the car at a place to eat and drink, then get back on and head straight for the next drinking party...
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the bustling night scene outside, Chen Yan was quite emotional for a moment.
In the past, he did not think that these scenes were worth reminiscing about or admiring, because the prosperity of the city had little to do with him.
Even if a powerful person lives a lavish life, it will not affect his monthly income of more than 5,000 yuan.
The ordinary people living at the bottom of society are just like the leeks growing in the fields. No matter whether they stick their heads out or hide them, they will inevitably be hit by the knife sooner or later.
The only difference is that some people are more impatient and can't help but start waving their sickles as soon as the leeks start to sprout green shoots.
Some people can be patient and wait until the leeks grow vigorously and are fully ripe before harvesting them.
But Chen Yan doesn’t think so now.
His experience in the wasteland world made him suddenly realize how important a peaceful and stable social environment is to ordinary people living at the bottom of society.
No wonder there is a saying that it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.
The basic logic of this world will never change, and the weak will always be the objects of exploitation and oppression.
But in a peaceful and stable social environment, all exploitation and oppression will be covered with a coat that looks soft enough, so that the weak living at the bottom can at least retain a certain dignity and decency.
If the social environment changes and order begins to collapse, the basic human rights of the weak will no longer be protected.
People living at the bottom of society will no longer be human beings.
They are livestock that work non-stop, serfs at the mercy of others, toys that cannot resist, and food that walks upright.
Although his time traveling to the wasteland world was short, only half a month at most, for Chen Yan, the changes and shocks he had experienced in those half months were far greater than those in the previous twenty years combined...
Just as Chen Yan was lost in emotion, there was a knock on the door of the room.
His thoughts were interrupted, and Chen Yan pulled himself out of that inexplicable emotion. He turned around, walked to the door and opened it.
Chu Yinyin, who had changed into casual clothes, appeared in Chen Yan's sight.
It’s true, compared to the serious look when she was wearing professional attire, Chu Yinyin looked much more lively and cute in a sweatshirt, jeans and sneakers.
"What's up?"
Chen Yan did not hide his gaze at all. He looked at Chu Yinyin from head to toe and asked at the same time.
Chu Yinyin saw the obvious surprise in Chen Yan's eyes, and her mood became even brighter.
She said a little embarrassedly, "I have trouble eating when I drink. I didn't eat much tonight, so I didn't eat much at the restaurant, but I felt hungry after I came back. How are you? Are you tired? If not, come with me for a midnight snack. The barbecue in Quancheng is quite famous, you should go and try it."
After hearing what Chu Yinyin said, Chen Yan suddenly felt hungry.
Although he actually ate quite a bit in the restaurant just now, and he looked like he could eat and drink a lot, he fits Brother Biao's definition of a man very well.
But after all, he is an awakened person, and his demand for food is much greater than that of ordinary people.
For Chen Yan, the wine and food he ate in the restaurant were just a bite at best.
So after hearing Chu Yinyin's suggestion, Chen Yan immediately agreed: "I'm hungry too. If you don't mind, let's find a roadside food stall nearby. Although it's not clean, it's usually better than the barbecue in the restaurant."
Chu Yinyin couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
She knew very well how much Chen Yan had eaten that night. Putting aside the white wine, no one else would be able to finish the dishes alone!
In addition, not only did Chen Yan not vomit at night, he didn't even go to the toilet during the whole meal.
Therefore, in Chu Yinyin's opinion, Chen Yan must have eaten and drunk enough.
The so-called "I'm hungry too" was just to take care of her feelings, which was really considerate...
"I'm not that spoiled. I also like to eat at street vendors. Are you leaving now? Or are you going to change your clothes before leaving?"
"I only have this outfit on and I have nothing to change into, so of course I'm leaving now. I'm not actively eating and there's something wrong with my brain. I'm already drooling."
As Chen Yan spoke, he pulled out the room card.
The two took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor. As soon as they reached the door, they saw a courier boy hurriedly running in with a takeaway.
Chen Yan glanced at the delivery boy and said, "It's almost eleven o'clock, and I can still see the delivery boy running around delivering food. It's really inspiring."
Chu Yinyin echoed, "Indeed, life is not easy. Many people have tried their best just to survive. Their lives may not be considered successful, but they are still worthy of admiration."
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment, looked at Chu Yinyin with a strange expression, and said, "That's not what I meant."
Chu Yinyin was also stunned and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Chen Yan said embarrassedly: "I mean, other people are eating so late, so why shouldn't I eat?"
Chu Yinyin: “…”
