Since Cao Yajun mentioned that matter to Xu Xiangyang, the two haven't seen each other for several days.
Xu Xiangyang wondered if the other person had just said it offhand.
But he didn't have time to think about that now, as Master Chen's work had already been assigned.
Qian Wenqing took two new employees on a business trip to Haicheng, while Xu Xiangyang was going to a more distant place, which would probably take a month for a round trip.
In the past, this kind of extremely long-distance trek would have been Zhang's job.
But Master Zhang was fired, so he had to take over the job.
Master Chen said earnestly, "Xiao Xu, you've worked hard this time. I'll have to trouble you with the long-distance trips from now on. Once those two have finished their apprenticeships, Xiao Qian will go with you, and then you'll have an easier time."
That sounds nice, but going away for a month at a time, never being home all year round, is really not good.
Xu Xiangyang doesn't have a better job right now, and he can't just quit.
"It's alright, Master Chen, this is my job." He said with a smile, without a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.
A business trip that lasts a month is something no one would feel comfortable in.
But there's nothing he can do about it; that's just his job, and he gets a few extra dollars a month, so it's not free.
Moreover, he receives a travel allowance, plus other miscellaneous benefits, so he gets at least a few dozen yuan in perks.
So business trips can be both a good thing and a bad thing.
For those with families, it's easy to be cheated on. But he doesn't have to worry; aside from his family, he doesn't need to think about anything else.
Master Chen still thinks highly of Xu Xiangyang; at least he can easily arrange work for him without any emotional issues.
Besides, even if you're upset, you still have to go. It's better if everyone is happy and cheerful.
After getting off work, Xu Xiangyang returned home and told them that he needed to go on a business trip for a month.
"What? A month?" Wang Xiumin was furious. She frowned deeply and looked unhappy.
Xu Xiangyang reassured him, "Isn't it the same every day? It's been almost a month since we went on a business trip; we've had enough rest."
That's what they say...
Wang Zhongshan nodded, realizing that his grandson had indeed stayed for a long time this time. "Xiumin, Xiangyang needs to make money so he can get married in the future."
He knew his daughter couldn't bear to part with the children; all these years, she'd been thinking about them. Now there were two more, and that still wasn't enough for her to worry about.
Wang Xiumin certainly didn't care enough; there were only a few people in her family, unlike other families with more than ten members.
"Okay," she replied in a muffled voice.
Although his family was reluctant to let him go, a man must eventually go out and make his way in the world!
I went back and packed my luggage. Actually, I didn't bring much; it was mainly to appease my family.
His personal space is like his own house; even if he doesn't bring anything with him, it won't affect anything.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang set off with his things. Because of the long journey, he got up very early and didn't eat breakfast.
After I get home this time, it will probably be almost Chinese New Year.
He thought that he hadn't really enjoyed the last year's New Year, so no matter what, he had to come back for the New Year this time.
Especially with the addition of two younger brothers to the family, the whole family is together and it's lively.
Upon arriving at his workplace, Xu Xiangyang got into his car, took all the necessary documents, and drove off quickly.
This trip was a truly long journey.
Just two days after he set off, Xu Xiangyang encountered a carjacking. However, this time he didn't drive a truck, but instead drove his car as usual.
After all, large trucks are too conspicuous, and if they encounter a large group of robbers, the driver might not be able to protect the truck.
Therefore, switching to a smaller car is the safest option. The worst-case scenario is losing money and having the car stolen, which they don't dare to do.
At this point, cars were no match for scrap metal; this car couldn't be driven out, or you'd be caught.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the four people in front of him, all of whom were masked and were holding kitchen knives and sticks.
"Get out of the car!" Someone walked over and knocked on the car window.
The other group wandered around for a bit, and one of them said, "What bad luck! We've been waiting for three whole days, and this beat-up little car comes along."
"Alright, stop talking," another person advised.
Xu Xiangyang opened the car door and was then pulled out.
Holy crap?
That's pretty brutal.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say anything, just stood to the side, with three people surrounding him and watching him.
The man rummaged through the car and found a few packets of pastries. He was so angry that he almost threw them on the ground and stomped on them.
But when he thought about how it was food anyway, he suppressed his anger and turned to look at Xu Xiangyang.
He said menacingly, "Hand over your money and valuables, and behave yourself, or we brothers won't be so lenient with what we have."
Although these words were a threat, Xu Xiangyang was not afraid at all.
"It's all here." He took out more than ten yuan, along with some grain coupons and the like.
Upon receiving the money, the group was extremely dissatisfied. There was so little left; if the four of them divided it up, there would be nothing left, not to mention that they would have to offer it as tribute when they got back.
"Damn! Is that all the money you have? You're really poor!" The man spat, clearly disgusted.
He was still carrying pastries from Xu Xiangyang's car, and it seemed he wasn't going to let go of anything he could hold onto.
The people standing nearby all felt that they were having a run of bad luck today. They had been waiting for three days and finally managed to rob a car, but it was just a small car.
The car is fine, but it only costs a dozen yuan. It's not worth driving such a nice car at all.
"Let's go, you little brat!" The man shoved Xu Xiangyang while cursing.
"He's like a poor guy, probably has no one else in his family, right?" These people went further and further as they spoke.
Xu Xiangyang narrowed his eyes slightly. They really dared to give them face, didn't they? He had only wanted to pay up to avoid trouble and didn't want to cause any more problems.
Now?
While they were off guard, they were still laughing at people.
He snatched the stick from the person next to him and hit the man who said there was no one at home on the head.
"Today I'll fucking make sure no one's home!" Xu Xiangyang said fiercely, showing no mercy to them.
"Ah!!" A scream rang out.
The group of people were stunned when they saw blood spurting from the man's head.
He quickly came to his senses and panicked. When he tried to fight back, he realized he was no match for the opponent.
Xu Xiangyang struck them one by one with a single blow, catching them completely off guard.
Once they have time to react, it will probably be very difficult for them to fight four against one.
Xu Xiangyang didn't care about underhanded tactics or sneak attacks; as long as he could win, what did he care?
Anyway, he doesn't care.
One of them struck Xu Xiangyang's arm with a backhand, and Xu Xiangyang immediately felt a numbness in his arm, almost dropping the stick in his hand.
However, he reacted quickly and kicked the man in the groin.
Another scream rang out.
Xu Xiangyang switched hands with the stick, finished off the last person, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He said with a grim expression, "Weren't you pretty good? Stand up!"
