After saying goodbye to Jiang Shuyue, Wang Ziliang and Jiang Shuya waited for the bus together to go to Hexi because they were going the same way. At the bus stop, Wang Ziliang chatted with Jiang Shuya in a humorous way: "You know, neither of us has been to college. What do those people who have been to college have that we don't? Just a graduation certificate, or four years of comfortable campus life?"
Jiang Shuya nodded upon hearing this: "Perhaps so! Many successful billionaire entrepreneurs don't have very high levels of education. There's a saying that goes, 'You can be without a diploma, but you can't be cultured.'"
Wang Ziliang said with a look of agreement, "Cousin, you are absolutely right. It's exactly what I was thinking."
Jiang Shuya was somewhat taken aback: "What did you call me? You called me cousin like my older cousin does..."
"Haha, look...aren't I your cousin's deskmate? We were all like brothers in school, we were close, so we just followed the crowd." Wang Ziliang tried to dodge the question.
Seeing that he really had no feelings for his cousin, Jiang Shuya listened leisurely as he recounted interesting things that happened in their old class.
At this moment, Lin Moxiao, sitting in the car opposite, silently watched the man and woman chatting and laughing. He composed himself, turned onto the road ahead, and stopped in front of them. He rolled down the window and said to Wang Ziliang expressionlessly, "Get in, I'll take you home."
Wang Ziliang was a little surprised. He scratched his head, peeked into the back seat to make sure no one was there, and smiled brightly: "Dude, you're really a friend. They say you forget your friends when you see a pretty face. From now on, your status in my heart has risen to another level."
"If you keep talking nonsense, take a car back yourself." Lin Moxiao's expression was somewhat impatient.
Wang Ziliang glanced at Jiang Shuya with a sly smile, opened the back door, bent down, and gestured for Jiang Shuya to get in.
Jiang Shuya glanced at Wang Ziliang in surprise, then chuckled at his comical actions. She smiled and said, "Since I'm benefiting from your kindness today, I'll gladly accept your offer." She nodded and bent down to sit in the back seat.
After closing the back door, Wang Ziliang opened the front door and sat down next to Lin Moxiao. He was suddenly startled by Lin Moxiao's cold gaze and couldn't help but wonder. He glanced at Jiang Shuya in the back seat and then turned to Lin Moxiao to ask, "What's wrong?"
Hearing the car start, Jiang Shuya asked listlessly, "Senior Wang, shall I go with you to the Olympic Sports Center Warehouse and Logistics Center? It'll be good for me to familiarize myself with the routes so I can find it directly next time I need to ship something."
Wang Ziliang readily agreed, grinning, "Sure! No problem. By the way, which shopping mall does my cousin get her goods from? See if it's within my area of responsibility."
“Lida Shopping Mall,” Jiang Shuya said calmly.
Wang Ziliang smiled and said softly, "It's not within my area of responsibility, but that's okay. I can go there when I'm not busy. I'll send you my contact information. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything."
In the blink of an eye, a phone number appeared on the phone.
Jiang Shuya saved the number directly.
The person in the front seat stared intently at the person in the rearview mirror. Their expression, whether a slight glance or a smile, was completely calm, without a trace of emotion, but rather serene and gentle.
“Cousin, don’t call me ‘senior’ anymore. Just call me Ziliang like everyone else does! Like Jiang Shuyue.” Wang Ziliang suddenly broke the silence.
"Alright, Brother Ziliang." Lin Moxiao smiled. "She didn't expect that after just one meal today, we would become brothers so quickly."
"What's wrong with that! It's not a bad thing to be brothers with your goddess. As long as the relationship is clear and you don't cause trouble, the friendship will last forever." Wang Ziliang's words implied that some people are always up to no good, two-faced, and have so many ulterior motives and philandering.
Lin Moxiao's face darkened, her eyes became gloomy, and the next moment, she stepped on the gas, seemingly with anger, and rushed through the traffic light for a few seconds, making Wang Ziliang next to her jump in fright. Before long, she quickly arrived at the warehousing and logistics distribution point after turning left and right.
After the two got out of the car, Jiang Shuya went to the spacious roller shutter door, which was piled high with goods. Several deliverymen were packing them. She glanced at the address sign, confirmed the route, and briefly learned about the delivery process and pricing from Wang Ziliang. Seeing that it was almost time, she said, "Ziliang, could you send me the details of some remote areas later? I'll check again and confirm where delivery is impossible. I'll come find you next time. I'll be going now, you're busy!" "Okay then! I won't see you off, cousin. There's a bus stop ahead, you can go by yourself!" She pointed in the direction.
Jiang Shuya glanced at the car that had just been parked by the roadside, walked over and smiled at Lin Moxiao: "Thank you for giving me a ride earlier. Goodbye, Senior Lin."
Before he could speak, she quickly walked towards the bus stop.
I quickly found the route on the bus stop sign and after looking at it for a while, I finally found Xixia Village Station.
A short while later, Lin Moxiao reappeared in front of him, stuck her head out, pointed and said, "I'm going back right now, let me give you a ride! Tell me the route."
"No need, Senior Lin, I can get there quickly by bus, it's only a few stops. You're going in a different direction and it's not on my way, so I won't trouble you," Jiang Shuya politely declined.
"It's okay, I have time today. It's fine if it's later," Lin Moxiao said nonchalantly.
Jiang Shuya sighed inwardly, wondering if this person couldn't understand her refusal. A hint of sarcasm crept into her mind, but she still politely declined. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a car heading towards Xixia Village coming towards her.
A surge of secret joy welled up inside her, and she said with a smile, "I'm so sorry, you really don't need to trouble yourself. The car's here, I'll be going now."
He watched helplessly as she got into the car, not giving him another glance. A hint of loneliness flashed in her deep eyes. Five years had passed, and she remained the same.
When they arrived at Xixia Village, they passed by Zhang Xiaohui's house and saw that there was a two-story cement building in her front yard. At that moment, she was pushing a small cart full of broken bricks out of the backyard. When she saw Jiang Shuya, her eyes lit up immediately: "I haven't seen you for many days. Where have you been?"
"Tangtang's dad left today, I'm seeing him off," she said without any hesitation.
"Oh, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Have you made up your mind? Are you going to work for Zhang Qing?"
"Yes, I went today. It went pretty well. She was very satisfied with my cooking. Her restaurant hasn't been open for long, so business isn't great yet, and she's not very busy."
"Well, as long as we're both satisfied, that's good. We should all enjoy the work." Jiang Shuya exchanged a few pleasantries with her before returning home.
Downstream from the island, as dusk fell, a man stood forlornly on the riverside viewing platform, his posture solemn, his eyes as cold as frost, as if he had seen through everything, without any emotional fluctuation.
