"Comrade Xia Enruo, I didn't expect you to be so enlightened. You're right, as long as you contribute to society, it's meaningful."
As the two chatted, they gradually became acquainted, and the atmosphere in the car warmed up. Xia Enruo then learned that Wu Shaojun worked as a driver for the leaders at a leather factory.
The two went to places selling groceries and fruits in Yongning City one after the other, and even visited the black market breakfast stalls. Watching Xia Enruo select ingredients and bargain at the black market, Wu Shaojun was happy to pay.
