"That's right, this is a commercial product, and the quality and functions are quite good. If I hadn't found someone, I probably wouldn't have been able to buy it."
"I saw they gave us two big boxes of packing bags. That will make it much easier for us to store things from now on," Shen Yanming said.
Then he glanced at Ji Kangyong and said, "Why don't you come with me to move these machines to the bedroom on the shady side? They're getting in the way on the balcony."
Why didn't you say anything when you moved in?
"They just put it on the balcony, I couldn't possibly ask them to move it. Besides, what kind of relationship do we have? We're best buddies, can't you do me a favor?"
Ji Kangyong was very pleased to be called "brother" by Shen Yanming, and nodded, saying, "Okay then, do you need to move these dried fruits into the storage room?"
"Let's leave those aside for now and see how many we can sell."
After helping Shen Yanming move the machines to the bedroom and set them up, Ji Kangyong prepared to leave.
"Wait, I brought you some dried fruit!" Shen Yanming stopped Ji Kangyong and said.
"Haha, I didn't plan to leave empty-handed!" Ji Kangyong said with a laugh.
Shen Yanming went to the kitchen and got two extra-large plastic bags, then packed a little of each item for Ji Kangyong.
"That's enough, that's enough! I can't possibly eat all this by myself!" Ji Kangyong quickly stepped forward to stop Shen Yanming.
He said he wouldn't go empty-handed, which meant he would just fill his four pockets, but who knew that Old Shen would directly put more than ten kilograms into a bag for him.
“There’s so much food, if you don’t eat it, Qiao An and I can’t finish it either.” Shen Yanming stuffed the bag into Ji Kangyong’s hand and said, “Alright, that’s all. Share some with your colleagues, and the rest is yours. Ask me for more when you’re done.”
"I probably couldn't finish eating them even if they got damp. You gave me way too much!" Ji Kangyong said with a hint of resentment, then pointed to the sacks in the living room and said, "Why don't you put them all in a vacuum packing machine?"
Shen Yanming shook his head. "That would be too wasteful of materials. Let's ask at the office tomorrow. Maybe if we distribute it among everyone, there won't be much left."
"Alright then, I'll head home now. You two pack up and get some sleep."
Shen Yanming saw Ji Kangyong out and then waited with him for the elevator. But before the elevator reached the 16th floor, the power went out with a bang.
"Damn, Lao Shen, thank goodness we turned off the power to the machine several minutes ago, otherwise, I'm afraid I would never dare to use it again."
"Hmm, that's quite a coincidence. It seems you'll have to take the stairs."
Ji Kangyong turned on the flashlight on his phone, waved his hand and said, "Go back quickly, Qiao An is home alone, don't let her not see the road and bump into something."
"Okay, then be careful."
After Ji Kangyong's figure disappeared from sight, Shen Yanming went home.
At this moment, Bi Qiaoan was sitting obediently on the sofa, not moving at all, with a small table lamp with orange light shining in front of her.
Shen Yanming stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Bi Qiaoan's shoulder, saying, "Are you tired?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Yeah, I'm a little sleepy. I haven't stayed up this late in a long time."
"Then let's go to sleep first, and talk about it when we wake up!"
Although they were very tired, Bi Qiaoan still dragged Shen Yanming into the space to take a bath, after all, they hadn't had a proper shower after running around outside for two days.
Seeing that Bi Qiaoan was almost asleep in the bathtub, Shen Yanming couldn't bear to let her go outside and get cold. After they finished bathing, they slept in the villa until dawn.
Perhaps the temperature was too comfortable, or perhaps they were too tired yesterday; in any case, they didn't get up until 8:30.
Shen Yanming took out two cups of hot milk, four vegetarian buns, two boiled eggs, a bowl of wontons, and a fruit salad from the storage area, and let Bi Qiaoan choose what she liked to eat first, and he would take care of the rest.
After finishing breakfast, it was already past nine o'clock. The two changed into their coats and pants, left the space, packed two or three pounds of dried fruit and dried fruit in plastic bags, and then drove to work.
As soon as Bi Qiaoan entered the office, she noticed that there were many more people coming to work today. Wei Qin, Michelle, Ye Xiaoxiao, Xia Ran, Accountant Xu, and several other colleagues were all there.
Not all the people are here, but about half are.
Everyone was sitting together chatting happily, but when they saw someone come in, they all looked at Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan.
"What are you talking about? Why did you all stop talking as soon as we came in?" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"Hey, you only arrived this early in the morning. We thought some leader had come to check on us. You gave me quite a scare," Yu Shui said, patting his chest.
"Seriously? We were pretty lax last week, what happened this week?"
"No, not really. Last week was a special case, with heavy snow, a drop in temperature, and a power outage. There were hardly any people in the building. This week is different. Haven't you noticed that there are significantly more people coming to work today?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "It seems like there are quite a few more. More than half of the parking spaces in the garage are occupied."
“Yes, that’s why Director Zhu came over and told us to be careful at work. He went to a meeting in the city, and there are rumors that there might be some changes to our working hours,” Yu Shui explained.
"So you're discussing the contents of Director Zhu's meeting?"
"Oh, everyone just finished watching the press conference of Qinghe Alliance and they're discussing it here."
"Oh my, you wouldn't believe it, even though General Li only said a few words, I still felt a chill run down my spine."
Hearing Yu Shui say this, Bi Qiaoan realized that she and Shen Yanming had forgotten to watch the press conference of Qinghe Alliance.
"What did General Li say?" Shen Yanming asked.
"He only asked three questions, and it wasn't much, but I think you can glean a lot from it. I suggest you see it for yourself; I'm afraid I might not express myself clearly and cause misunderstandings," Yu Shui said to Shen Yanming with a serious expression.
Wei Qin nodded after hearing this, "You young people know a lot, hurry up and see what's going on!"
"I'm getting old, and my knowledge isn't what it used to be. I just hear people say the Tropic of Cancer has changed, but I don't really understand what's going on or what impact it has on the climate."
Shen Yanming's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face.
He smiled and changed the subject, taking out the dried fruit he had prepared for everyone and saying, "I went to the Southern Province over the weekend, and a friend prepared these for me. Try them. If anyone wants some, you can exchange them with grain. Three catties of fine grain can be exchanged for one catty of dried fruit."
Yu Shui stepped forward, took the bag, and grabbed a handful for everyone in the office, saying, "Old Shen, you've become a middleman!"
Shen Yanming nodded and repeated what he had said to Ji Kangyong and the others. After listening, everyone praised the two of them.
“That’s the right thing to do. Although the young man wants to repay you two, food is so scarce right now. We can’t let him carry a debt of several thousand kilograms, can we?”
"We came here to offer help in times of need, but let's not end up making things worse," Wei Qin said, nodding.
