Before leaving get off work, Xu Xiangyang went to collect his salary and subsidies for the month.
He needs to go on a business trip tomorrow and won't be back for more than half a month.
"Xiao Qian, come here for a second." He waved to the people outside.
Qian Wenqing walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Xu?"
“My dad is coming to work tomorrow. Could you help him get familiar with the environment and explain our company's rules to him?” Xu Xiangyang was still quite worried that Xu Guangtian wouldn't be able to adapt.
But such a good job is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's not easy for someone like him, who didn't even finish elementary school, to find such a job.
Qian Wenqing knew about this and immediately nodded in agreement, "Don't worry about it, I'll definitely take care of it for you, Uncle."
He and Xu Xiangyang are good brothers, so this is nothing!
With his permission, Xu Xiangyang returned home reassured.
Qian Wenqing had met Xu Guangtian before, so he wasn't worried about anything.
When he got home, he told him about the business trip, saying that he might be gone for more than half a month.
"That's been so long?" Wang Xiumin said with some concern, "That's too long, especially when you're traveling..."
"Xiu Min." Wang Zhongshan interrupted her with a frown, saying, "Xiang Yang is a capable man. Business trips are his job. What are you saying?"
In his eyes, a man should stick to his job and not back down even if there is danger.
That's how he got through it. Of course, it was more dangerous in those years; now it's a very peaceful time.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "I'm already familiar with the job, so there's no problem. You don't need to worry. I'll bring you some local specialties later."
Xu Xiangyang's family had no complaints about whether he was a special case or not; all they wanted was for him to come back safely.
Xu Xiangyang set off the next morning, as did Xu Guangtian, who was also starting work that day.
Because it was his first time working, Xu Guangtian was extremely nervous.
I was so nervous last night that I couldn't sleep for most of the night, just thinking about how I should handle things at work.
He became even more uneasy after learning that Xu Xiangyang was away on a business trip and not at the Grain Bureau.
"Why are you all sweaty?" Wang Xiumin saw him out of the house and then noticed that something was wrong with him.
Xu Guangtian wiped the sweat from his brow. "I don't know either. I'm leaving now."
"Uncle Xu!" Qian Wenqing suddenly called out. He had gotten up late today, and by the time he arrived, everyone was already leaving.
"Xiao Qian? What brings you here?" Xu Guangtian saw him panting and wondered what he had been running for.
"Xiangyang is away on a business trip and isn't home." He assumed the person was looking for Xu Xiangyang.
Qian Wenqing took a breath and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm here to see you. Isn't today your first day at work? I'll take you there."
He promised Xu Xiangyang yesterday, he can't go back on his word, can he?
Take him there?
Xu Guangtian then remembered that they all worked in the same unit.
"Oh dear, I've been completely lost all day. Please take me there quickly, I was thinking I couldn't find it anywhere." He happily pulled Qian Wenqing along, finally feeling relieved.
You don't have to arrive at the destination and not be able to find it anywhere, leaving a bad impression on your superiors by looking blank and confused.
Qian Wenqing nodded, and then led his men to his workplace.
Xu Xiangyang had already left the new city and driven into a deserted wasteland, where he stored the car in his spatial storage.
Even though there's nothing in the car right now, what if we get robbed?
If they don't have any goods, they'll come up with other ideas. Since they can take the car, it's better to hide it, just in case.
Each time, he would let the gas out of the car. After all, he had been driving for so many days and needed a lot of gas. What would people think if he didn't refuel?
So the same amount of fuel is used for driving in the space; there's no such thing as accumulating a lot of fuel.
There are no gas stations inside the logistics port, but there are some outside, though they are blocked by fog.
Xu Xiangyang drove a very old car onto the road. Anyway, there were no traffic police here, so even if he was discovered, it wouldn't matter.
He didn't see anyone blocking the road along the way, but he did encounter quite a few trucks, all driving very fast as if someone was chasing them.
This shows that this period was indeed quite frightening; otherwise, drivers would be practically flying through the air on these dirt roads. What would they be doing?
The road was very dusty. Luckily it wasn't raining, otherwise it would have been easy to slip and have an accident.
Nothing happened to Xu Xiangyang along the way. He drove at night and went to sleep in his space during the day in a secluded place.
Carjackings actually happen more often at night, but there's no need to rob a car if you see one like this.
They're after supplies. How much can a car carry? Probably not enough for one person to share.
Five days later, we arrived at our destination.
Upon arriving in Beiping, Xu Xiangyang was extra cautious, fearing the people there.
Beiping was the place where the movement was most serious. You could see many people parading in the streets, leading a group of people with shaved heads or wearing placards.
Xu Xiangyang glanced at it once and then turned his head away. He was just an ordinary person here, and if he rashly went to meddle in other people's business, he could easily be arrested.
At this time, keeping a low profile is the most important thing; he has several family members waiting for him to come home.
After finding a nearby hotel, Xu Xiangyang booked a single room. He went to his space to wash up before coming out to find a place to eat.
It was already noon. He hadn't slept all night, so he needed to eat a full meal and then rest and sleep.
The state-run restaurants in Beiping had a very abundant supply, with people from all over the country supplying Beiping, so there was never a shortage of goods, and sometimes there wasn't even enough to go around.
Xu Xiangyang didn't treat himself badly either, ordering two dishes and packing up the leftovers to take home.
"Comrade, you can't finish what you ordered, so you can't waste it," the female cashier reminded him, worried that he might waste the food.
Xu Xiangyang gestured to the lunchbox in his backpack, "Don't worry, comrade, I'll take any leftovers back with me, so it definitely won't go to waste."
In the new town, nobody cares if you're wasteful or not. Even if you have leftovers, someone will take them away.
It's not for my own consumption; I can take it back and give it to others.
After ordering his food, he found a corner to sit down. It was lunchtime, and everyone was eating.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the people coming and going outside, and very few of them were smiling happily.
This is the era we live in now; it's something we have to go through so that things will get better in the future.
He remembered that Feng Jiunian was also in Beiping, but he didn't live here. Should he go and see him?
Xu Xiangyang immediately dismissed the idea. After all, this was a sensitive time, and if something happened to Feng Jiunian, searching for him like this might only get him into trouble.
Anyway, I only had the idea of trading a few times before, so it's good to just cut off contact like this, it saves me the trouble.
After finishing his meal, he packed up the leftovers and took them back to his spatial storage so he could eat them whenever he got hungry.
