Working Together Suddenly Feels Uneasy (Part 2)

Working Together Suddenly Feels Uneasy (Part 2)

After taking the bus and the train, Huo Chengfeng arrived in Xinzhou City the next day and met the important person.

He was holding two suitcases, wearing glasses, and was very thin, looking as if he was starving. Huo Chengfeng didn't expect that he was so young, he looked only 27 or 28 years old. Huo Chengfeng heard the man introduce his surname as Dong. After they exchanged their ages, he told Huo Chengfeng and the others to just call him Brother Dong.

"Just keep me alive, thank you very much."

"Let me tell you this, someone must be chasing me, and I ran back from abroad."

“…”

Huo Chengfeng and the others were shocked and looked at each other. Finally, it was the captain Huo Chengfeng who responded and nodded in agreement.

However, Huo Chengfeng became more cautious. It seemed that Brother Dong knew that there was danger lurking around him.

"Brother Dong, when are you going to leave?"

"Now." Dong Lian glanced at the deserted airport. The emptiness made him feel uneasy and he just wanted to leave quickly.

Huo Chengfeng nodded, "Okay."

He and his colleague Deng Jun were arranged to be with Dong Lian, pretending to be secretaries and accompanying him throughout the trip.

Huo Chengfeng reached out to take the suitcase from Dong Lian's hand, but was rejected by Dong Lian.

From Xinzhou City to Yin'an City, there are ten cities and thousands of kilometers. There is no direct flight, so the only way is to take the train. Dong Lian never put down the suitcase in his hand, even when he went to the toilet.

Huo Chengfeng did not dare to let his guard down and kept taking the train all the way. No matter how sleepy he was, he did not dare to fall asleep on the train. He could only keep recalling the details of his dream.

Judging from the explosion in the dream, the problem should be with the car. So, they have to avoid taking cars. So the train is safe for now. There are so many people here, and the people in the dark should not dare to take action.

But there is still a problem. Logically, few people knew about Dong Lian's itinerary, and it was even less likely to be leaked. So these things could only have happened because the information was leaked, and someone was secretly keeping an eye on Dong Lian. They just wait until they are in remote places and then create car accidents or oil leaks and explosions.

But they had no idea where the whereabouts were leaked.

Huo Chengfeng woke up instantly. Only by finding the person in the dark first can you feel at ease.

His life is not important, nor are Deng Jun's or other comrades' lives. Only Dong Lian's is the most important. If the people in the dark want Dong Lian dead, then they definitely don't care about his and the others' lives. If they die, they die.

Huo Chengfeng looked inside the carriage. There were so many people on the train that he had no idea who they were.

He thought about it again and again, and finally found an opportunity to find Dong Lian.

"You said you think someone is following us?" Dong Lian frowned, "Are you sure?"

Huo Chengfeng was not sure and he didn't know what to say. He actually wanted to ask Dong Lian whether he knew the situation, so he could only use this method to get answers. He was also afraid that Dong Lian would think that they were not providing adequate protection.

The next second, he heard Dong Lian say, "It's normal to have them. After all, I know their secrets, so they might have followed me back."

"What should we do now?" Dong Lian asked Huo Chengfeng. After thinking it over again and again, he felt that staying alive was more important.

Huo Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, but this was exactly what he wanted. "Can I ask, what is the secret?"

"It's enough for you to know that I studied mechanics. I have already reported the secret. This time I went to Yin'an City to take up a post. I was assigned to teach at Yin'an University, mainly to avoid the limelight." Dong Lian sighed, "I also persuaded a few people to return to China. I guess they are so angry that they have chased me back to China..."

Huo Chengfeng understood. The secret was already known, so it was no longer important. What was important was Dong Lian. He was just working at the school. Although he did not hold any important position, he had to stay alive.

That's why they escorted him back to Yin'an City. Huo Chengfeng didn't expect this to be the reason.

"Then you can be guaranteed to be safe after you go there?"

Dong Lian nodded, "It's much safer than in big cities. The transportation is not well developed, and it can save your life. I will come out after the storm has passed."

Huo Chengfeng sighed and asked some more questions. After being fully prepared, he could only continue on his journey with extreme caution.

…

Shi Mingzhu looked at the calendar and gritted her teeth. A month had passed. It was already the time Huo Chengfeng had promised, but he still hadn't come back!

However, she hadn't received any news about Huo Chengfeng's death in the line of duty for such a long time, so he should still be safe.

She sighed, carried Yangyang out of the room, handed the child to her mother-in-law, and went out.

"Where are you going?" Yu Meizhen asked.

"Go out and find someone."

Yu Meizhen looked at Shi Mingzhu's graceful back and said, "Come back soon!"

Shi Mingzhu responded casually.

Shi Mingzhu plans to find Ji Shaoyuan. A month ago, he opened a clothing store in a shopping mall, specializing in women's clothing, and his business is quite booming.

Huo Chengfeng left. He said he would be back in two months at the latest. Now a month has passed and he still hasn't come back. She can wait, but she can't just do nothing and wait for him alone. It's not realistic.

There are quite a lot of people in Ji Shaoyuan's store, but most of them are just looking and few are buying.

Shi Mingzhu saw that they liked it very much, but she didn't understand why they didn't buy it.

"They are too embarrassed to go to the dressing room to change clothes." Ji Shaoyuan scratched his head in distress. When he was in Pengcheng, he set up stalls on the roadside at the night market. The social atmosphere in Pengcheng is much more open than that in Xitai Town.

He asked Shi Mingzhu, "Sister-in-law, why did you come to see me?"

Shi Mingzhu told him her plan.

"Are you planning to set up a stall to sell clothes?"

Shi Mingzhu nodded, "What is the purchase price you can give me?"

"The price is another matter," Ji Shaoyuan looked at the people in the store, thought for a while and asked her, "Sister-in-law, I have an idea now, I wonder if you are willing to practice it with me."

His eyes fell on her.

Shi Mingzhu followed his gaze.

Shi Mingzhu was wearing a pink suit today. The top was a doll collar shirt and the bottom was a solid-colored skirt. The finishing touch of the outfit was the pearl belt around her waist.

Ji Shaoyuan thought that this dress was quite nice, elegant and beautiful, and made Shi Mingzhu look like an educated person who had studied abroad, shining and radiant like a pearl.

Of course, he knew this effect was also due to Mingzhu's own conditions.

"you say."

"How about you come to my store? You see, my store is full of female customers. The social atmosphere here is not as open as that in Pengcheng. I am a man running a store, and I let female customers try on clothes in the store. Many of them are embarrassed, but it's different with you here!"

"When you wear clothes from my store, you just need to stand or sit to display them, and I will serve the customers. With you here, female customers who want to try on clothes will not be so hesitant. What do you think?"

The more Ji Shaoyuan thought about it, the more he thought it was feasible. "Sister-in-law, why don't you work with me? After deducting the cost, we'll split it 40% and 60% respectively. You get 40% and I get 60%."

"I'll buy the goods without you having to pay, but I'll need your help to sell them." Ji Shaoyuan smiled, his cheerfulness revealing a bit of shrewdness.

Shi Mingzhu's mind moved.

It is not convenient for her to go to Pengcheng by herself now. She is unfamiliar with the place and it is too dangerous to travel long distances. Besides, Yangyang is still young and it is not convenient for her to go. So if she wants to start a business selling clothes, she can only purchase goods from Ji Shaoyuan.

If she sells it herself, the price will definitely be lower than Ji Shaoyuan's, so she can only make a small profit but sell in large quantities. In other words, the profit is probably only about 40% to 50%.

"Okay!" After thinking about it, Shi Mingzhu immediately agreed.

"Sister-in-law, how about we start working today?"

Shi Mingzhu nodded.

Ji Shaoyuan immediately put a set of clothes together for her.

A pair of flared jeans and a red shirt.

"Sister-in-law, go to the dressing room and change. My store's sales today depend on you!" Ji Shaoyuan said in a low voice.

Shi Mingzhu didn't expect Ji Shaoyuan to trust her so much. She went to the dressing room to change her clothes. She liked this outfit of jeans and shirt very much, except that it was missing a pair of earrings.

However, having one more or one less pair of earrings will not affect the look.

The moment they walked out of the changing room, the store was quiet for a moment. Everyone just felt that the person in front of them was so beautiful that she was on a different level from them. Her clothes were so bold and bright in color that they didn't know where to look first.

Shi Mingzhu heard some people whispering and some people coming closer to observe.

She also took the opportunity to ask the other party, "How is it? Does it look good?"

The girl nodded and said, "It looks good. You have a good taste. Can you help me choose a set similar to yours?"

Shi Mingzhu was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect the siphon effect to be so strong. She immediately put on a smile and said, "Okay, what color do you like?"

"Just help me match them, as long as they look good."

Shi Mingzhu understood and glanced at the girl. Her face was unhealthily pale, and she had long yellowish hair. She looked thin and weak, and rather quiet.

If you just want something that looks good, there are many choices. Shi Mingzhu took a general look at the scene and soon came up with several choices.

Shi Mingzhu chose two skirts and an outfit consisting of jeans, a vest and a shirt.

Once there was one, there would be two. Other girls also joined in and asked Shi Mingzhu to help them match the clothes.

As there were more people, and after Shi Mingzhu demonstrated it first, some people finally dared to use the changing room in the store.

After a busy day, Ji Shaoyuan was so busy collecting money that his mouth was about to break from laughing.

"I put out 30 pairs of jeans today and sold 18! Sure enough, there were a lot of buyers!"

"We need to restock shirts and jeans."

Shi Mingzhu saw that the time was almost 6 o'clock, so she had to go back.

Ji Shaoyuan nodded, and his fingers quickly counted the money, "Mingzhu, wait a minute, I'll calculate today's dividend for you."

"Today's income is more than what I usually make from selling on my own. It's a total of 256 yuan. After deducting the cost of 86 yuan, today's profit is 40%, which is 68 yuan. Keep it." Ji Shaoyuan counted out a stack of money and gave it to her.

Shi Mingzhu took it with a smile. 68 yuan a day was two months' salary for others, which was quite a lot. Fortunately, Shi Mingzhu had seen so much money before, otherwise she would have screamed excitedly, "Thank you, boss. See you tomorrow."

Ji Shaoyuan smiled and sent her out, just like sending the God of Wealth away, "See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow."

When Shi Mingzhu returned home in the afterglow of the sun, she heard Yangyang's shrill cry.

When Yangyang saw his mother, he cried even harder.

Shi Mingzhu reached out and hugged him.

"What happened to Yangyang?"

Yu Meizhen was also anxious, "I don't know either. He started crying suddenly. He was drinking milk before he started crying. Then he knocked over the milk powder. He has been crying for half an hour. No matter how I comfort him, it's useless."

Shi Mingzhu looked at the broken glass on the ground, her heart ached suddenly, and she almost loosened her grip and dropped the child on the ground.

She frowned, feeling suddenly uneasy.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away.

A car suddenly crashed into another car that was driving steadily on the road.

The moment the car hit the windshield, Huo Chengfeng's eyelids jumped and he cursed inwardly. No matter how careful he was, this car accident still happened.
