On the evening of the third day of the New Year, Li Wenhua ran to Lin Tian's home. This was the first time Li Wenhua visited Lin Tian's home.
So Lin Tian specially prepared four dishes, two meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, and also prepared a bottle of wine.
"Come, Brother Li, try my cooking." Lin Tian found the wine, put it on the table, sat down and said to Li Wenhua.
"This is too rich." Li Wenhua rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
"Then you have to treat my brother Li well since it's his first visit," Lin Tian said jokingly.
"Come on, come on, thank you for your hospitality." Li Wenhua raised his glass and clinked it with Lin Tian.
“Haha, if I had known you were coming, I would have prepared more abundantly. Remember to notify me in advance next time,” Lin Tian said with a smile after taking a sip of wine.
"I just received a notice that Xie Shushu will take you on a business trip tomorrow, so I rushed over to inform you."
"Why are you taking me alone? Aren't you going?" Lin Tian asked with some confusion. Logically speaking, he should take Li Wenhua with him first when going on a business trip.
"I was also assigned a task. I went to Hebei by myself, but it was just a formality to sign a contract. Xie Shushu said that I was his classmate and could provide us with some vegetables every year." Li Wenhua said after taking a sip of wine.
Li Wenhua continued, "So he can only take you with him, and he can't take Jiang Shufen with him. There is no one else but you. It is said that this time he is negotiating with the edible oil factory over there to supply edible oil to the non-staple food company every year."
"It seems that Director Xin will have no status in the higher-level departments in the future. The reason why the leaders sent Xie Shushu there is because he has a wide network of contacts." Li Wenhua went on to say. After all, no matter what, it was Director Xin who put him and Lin Tian in the grocery store.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink, drink." Lin Tian and the others couldn't help much in this matter, so everyone just complained casually.
After eating and drinking, Lin Tian sent Li Wenhua out of the compound. Lin Tian took a look and found that there was nothing much to pack, so he put all the money and other things in the space. He also specially exchanged a lot of national food coupons before the New Year.
When the time comes, you can just pack two pieces of clothes in your suitcase and carry it with you.
The only thing that Lin Tian didn't expect was that he was notified to go on a business trip before he went to work after the New Year.
There was news before the New Year that the purchasing department would be arranged to go on a business trip, but who could have thought it would happen so soon? There was no choice but for Lin Tian to obey the arrangement, so he simply packed up.
On the morning of the fourth day of the New Year, after arriving at the company, as soon as he entered the office, Jiang Shufen informed him that Xie Shushu was waiting for him in the office. Lin Tian put down his things and went to Xie Shushu's side.
"Xie Shushu, you're looking for me?" Lin Tian knocked on the door and said after entering the office.
"Xiao Lin, sit down. Have you settled everything at home for your business trip?"
“Everything is settled!”
"That's good. Go to the accountant and collect the expenses for this business trip. I have already bought the train ticket for you. Here is your letter of introduction. Keep it together." Secretary Xie gave the instructions while handing the train ticket and letter of introduction to Lin Tian.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Well, go ahead. We'll leave for the station two hours in advance then."
It was the first time for Lin Tian to take a train of this era. He looked at the train ticket that Xie Shu handed to him. It was just a small piece of paper with the words "from Beijing to Qingdao, Qingjing Train, departing at 4 o'clock this afternoon."
Lin Tian didn’t know what level Xie Shushu was at, and he had never really studied this, but relying on his connections at the supplementary food company, even if his level was a little lower, he should be able to get himself a berth.
I returned to the office and went to the accounting office to collect my travel allowance and food coupons.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, he and Xie Shushu set off for Beijing Station. After entering the station, Lin Tian found that the two people were indeed different. Lin Tian had a hard seat, while Xie Shushu had a sleeper berth.
But Lin Tian was still very happy. Why? Because when he saw that the Beijing Station was also crowded with people, he was very grateful to Secretary Xie. He should have got the ticket back directly through the channel, instead of letting Lin Tian queue up to buy the ticket.
The main thing that made Lin Tian despair was that he never expected that this train would take thirty hours. In his previous life, Lin Tian often went to Qingdao on business trips, and he had also taken a high-speed train for more than two hours, and a green train for ten hours.
So Lin Tian didn't take it seriously. When he got on the train, he asked the attendant and found out what the trains of that era were like. It would take thirty hours to reach the station.
When Lin Tian entered the train station to wait for the train, he found that this train still had two sleeper cars and soft seat cars. However, when it came to the hard seat car, Lin Tian had never seen wooden hard seats before. Lin Tian had always thought that the hard seats of this era were also the later artificial leather hard seats, but it must be said that Lin Tian thought too much.
After entering the carriage, because it was the starting station and there were no assigned seats for tickets at this time, tickets were sold according to plan at each station, so there was generally no congestion. So after getting on the train, Lin Tian chose a good window seat in the middle of the carriage.
Then he sat there and watched the crowd of people getting on the bus with large and small bags. It was very different from the Spring Festival travel rush in the 1980s and 1990s. Although there were some people who looked like they were on the Spring Festival travel rush, there were more people on the bus who looked like Lin Tian was preparing for a business trip.
After a while, the three seats next to Lin Tian were occupied. Sitting opposite was a middle-aged woman with a daughter who was about the same age as Lin Tian. Sitting next to Lin Tian was a man in his thirties who looked a bit shifty.
After everyone was settled, they nodded to each other and sat down without saying anything.
Less than half an hour after Lin Tian and his friends got on the train, the train started moving. Because it was a steam engine, the noise it made was quite loud.
The most conflicted one is Lin Tian. He has hated traveling and riding in cars since his previous life. He didn't expect that after coming to a new world and changing into a new body, he still doesn't like it. It seems that being a otaku is integrated into his soul.
But Lin Tian also figured it out. Although thirty hours was very hard to endure, he could just take it as an opportunity to see the scenery along the way. Since he had started a new life, he should experience everything.
Bang, bang, bang, the train has slowly left Beijing Station.
The four people sitting together also introduced themselves to each other. After all, they would have to spend more than thirty hours together. The middle-aged woman with her daughter was named Zhang Xin, and her daughter was named Li Ping. They came to Beijing to visit relatives during the Spring Festival. Now that the Spring Festival holiday is over, they started to return to Qingdao.
The middle-aged man sitting next to him was named Xu Kun. He said he was also visiting relatives in Beijing and was returning to Qingdao like the two people opposite him. However, Lin Tian always felt that something was wrong with this man. Now Lin Tian's five senses were far superior to those of ordinary people. It might be because of the fused space fragments. However, Lin Tian had no intention of exploring. Who knew what was going on?
However, when they heard Lin Tian introduce himself as working in a non-staple food store, the three of them were still very surprised. Young people working in non-staple food companies are tall, rich and handsome, which is unique to this era.
