Minister Xu also had a sleepless night.
Since they arrived in Taoyang a little late, the people at the small ranch had already rested. Even though he was impatient, he was too embarrassed to wake up Tang Huan and her daughter.
After all, Su Tao said that Tang Huan and his mother had been taking care of his daughter recently.
Xu Chang comforted himself that he had already arrived in Taoyang and would be able to see her eventually, so there was no need to rush for these few hours.
But even though he said there was no rush, he still tossed and turned until dawn.
As soon as six o'clock arrived, he didn't even want to leave Taoyang's soft big bed. He washed and dressed vigorously, called his assistant and went out together.
The young assistant was stunned when he saw him. Minister Xu looked as if he was twenty years younger. He even combed his hair carefully and wore old clothes from four or five years ago.
That was what he often wore before his daughter disappeared.
"Do you think He He will be able to recognize me if she sees me?" Xu Chang suddenly became worried.
The assistant nodded affirmatively.
The two were afraid of disturbing Su Tao and Zhuang Wan, so they politely stopped a Taoyang tenant downstairs to inquire about the location of Taochi Ranch.
He thought this place was in the Taoyang area and could be reached in half an hour by walking or riding a bike.
The tenant gave him a suspicious look: "You want to go to Taochi? Then do you have Boss Su's Taochi whitelist?"
Only those on the whitelist can freely travel between various portals.
Xu Chang shook his head in confusion, with an expression of "What is that thing?"
The tenant shrugged: "Then you'll have to drive."
Xu Chang was a little surprised. It seemed that Taoyang’s land area was more than what he saw, and he even needed to drive to another district.
When he arrived last night, although he was surprised by Taoyang's excellent infrastructure, he found that the area it covered was very small. At least the land he saw was really not that big, not even as big as half a district in Changjing.
"Can you give me a specific address? I have an urgent matter. Thank you very much."
Seeing that he was very anxious, the tenant quickly sent him Tao Chi's specific address.
Xu Chang excitedly searched the address, but the distance given by the system shocked him.
It would take a whole day to drive there day and night. Are you sure you have the right address?
The tenant was about to leave when Xu Chang grabbed him and said, "Excuse me, little brother, is the address correct?"
The tenant glanced at it and nodded: "That's right."
After the tenant finished answering, he realized something and asked cautiously:
"You're not our tenant in Taoyang, are you? Miss Meng gave us all the basic knowledge about Taoyang before we moved in. Who brought you here?!"
The people in Taoyang are very alert. The tenant is ready to call the security department to report that there is a suspect who has sneaked in!
Director Qi said that Taoyang is somewhat famous in the south, and there must be people with ulterior motives who come to gather information or even cause sabotage. If you discover any suspicious events or people, you must report them immediately!
Then he reported it passionately!
Su Tao finally went to the Security Department's temporary detention room to pick up the person.
When Qi Yunlan learned of Xu Chang's identity, she felt so sorry and frightened that she almost bent over and knelt on the ground.
The tenant who reported the case was also socially frustrated on the spot. He kept apologizing to Minister Xu and insisted on inviting Minister Xu and his assistant to his home for dinner.
Su Tao also blushed: "Uncle Xu, I'm so sorry."
Xu Chang was at a loss for words. "It's not your fault. I was too impatient. Yesterday, I suggested not rushing and going this morning. But I overestimated myself and couldn't hold back any longer at six o'clock. I left without saying hello to you and Manager Zhuang. I should be apologizing."
"However, you in Taoyang do have a very high level of safety awareness and are very united. I was surprised. And Director Qi is very responsible. He is a rare example of good management."
Qi Yunlan didn't dare accept the compliment: "It's all for the sake of our home, and mainly because our tenants are of high quality."
The tenant scratched his head shyly.
Su Tao took the opportunity to give a formal introduction to both parties and also gave Minister Xu a brief tour of the office building and monitoring center.
Minister Xu was more and more surprised the more he looked. The building had 24-hour electricity and water supply, and the energy consumption alone must be quite high.
In addition, all employees working in the office building can use the free tea room, which not only has a water dispenser, but also various small appliances, refrigerators, ice makers, microwave ovens, etc., which are convenient for employees to preheat food, make coffee, iced drinks, etc.
Tea and drinks are free and available as needed.
In the end times of material shortages, even in Changjing, few companies or organizations can do this.
Taoyang was richer than he had imagined.
After Su Tao took him on a brief tour of the office building, she suggested taking him to meet Alice. The old father was anxious, so it would be a bit unreasonable to force him to continue the tour. There would be plenty of time for him to get to know Taoyang later.
Xu Chang immediately said, "I can go by myself. I think the address is quite far away. Don't you have to go to Dongyang for business today? I won't bother you."
Su Tao was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's quite far, but there is a shortcut."
She found an opportunity to open the system, added Minister Xu and the assistant to the portal's whitelist, and then took them to the Taoyang back door.
Xu Chang was still confused.
It’s such a long distance, even if you take a shortcut, it will take more than 20 hours to drive. How close can it be?
However, as soon as the portal opened, in a flash, Xu Chang saw a whiteout moment in front of his eyes, and when he looked again, he found himself in a parking lot.
Parking lot? There's actually a parking lot at the back gate of Taoyang, so are they coming here to drive to Taochi?
But Su Tao's next words made Xu Chang stunned:
"This is Taochi Business Center. Look at the small building across the street. It's our business building, serving customers who want to order supplies. This parking lot is for them."
The assistant asked in disbelief, "Is this Tao Chi?"
Seeing Su Tao nod, his expression cracked: "Then why is the address we searched for so far away? It takes a whole day to drive there, but we only walked for fifteen minutes."
Xu Chang glanced back at the portal sharply, puzzled: "Isn't this an ordinary door?"
"Yes, it's a portal. Under certain conditions, distance can be ignored."
Xu Chang was a little uneasy now, and he immediately thought:
"Old Yu Po's work? She's starting to shine for Tao Yang so soon?"
He usually thinks of Old Yu Po for such unconventional things. After all, Changjing has not yet developed a true portal. Long-distance transmission still depends on relevant psychics.
Su Tao held her forehead and laughed: "What are you thinking about? She is probably still sleeping right now, how can she have time."
That was developed by Taoyang himself!
Xu Chang's expression changed.
