After leaving the grain depot, Xu Xiangyang took off running.
Only a fool wouldn't be happy to leave work early!
He arrived at an abandoned courtyard overgrown with dry grass. Seeing that no one was around, he slipped into the space.
Xu Xiangyang went straight to his dormitory, took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and lay on his bed to think about what would happen next.
This time, the transport team didn't have a driver, so he stepped in to help, partly because he wanted to change jobs, and partly because he wanted to get to know Zhang Xiao.
Regardless, he's still a minor boss, and he's quite powerful for managing these stevedores.
As long as you stand up for him, you'll have someone to talk to if you want to do anything in the future, right?
As he thought this, he glanced at the calendar he had made.
There are only 15 days left until Chinese New Year. I should be able to buy some nice things to take home after I get paid.
Regardless, the original owner's parents should be respected; that's their duty. Having taken over their son's body, they can't just wash their hands of it and ignore everything, can they?
He wouldn't do something like that.
Moreover, now that he has space, he feels much more confident.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang arrived at the grain depot and found Zhang Xiao looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with a troubled expression.
The man also looked impatient, as if he was saying something.
As he got closer, he heard the middle-aged man say, "I don't care, he'll be here tomorrow. You can just tell him."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Zhang Xiao sighed, turned her head and saw Xu Xiangyang, then showed a puzzled expression.
Xu Xiangyang thought for a moment, then walked over with a smile, "Brother Zhang, you're here so early."
You should greet them when necessary, but it's not appropriate for you to pry into their affairs, since you're not that familiar with them yet.
Zhang Xiao smiled and nodded, then watched him enter the grain depot.
"This is really troublesome!" he muttered to himself, and then left.
As soon as he entered the lounge, a group of people looked at him with strange eyes.
Xu Xiangyang was completely bewildered. What was going on today? He remembered that nothing had happened when he left yesterday.
He sat down next to Yan Laosan and asked in a low voice, "Third Brother, what's wrong with you today?"
Now, he's the only one here who can tell me the truth, since I'm unfamiliar with this place.
Having been here for over half a month, how could I possibly get to know anyone?
Yan Laosan glanced at him with a complicated expression, and seeing that he still didn't know, he felt sorry for him.
After getting to know him for so many days, I find Xu Xiangyang to be a very genuine and easy-going person.
Xu Xiangyang was a little confused by his gaze, and before he could ask anything, the person in front of him spoke.
"Brother, you'll probably get a call after get off work tonight. Someone's coming to replace you tomorrow," Yan Laosan said, patting him on the shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang remembered that someone had indeed tried to take the temporary job from him the day he arrived.
I didn't expect him to arrive so quickly; he hasn't even found a job yet.
"Time to get to work!" someone called out from outside, and the others quickly went out.
Xu Xiangyang had no particular thoughts on the matter, so he got up and went out with the others.
No matter what, he has to keep working, right?
Even if he leaves tomorrow, he still has to be paid for today's work, right?
Yan Laosan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh as he watched him continue working as if nothing had happened.
I didn't expect this kid to be so capable. At least he didn't start something and then abandon it. He quit as soon as he found out his job was taken.
Xu Xiangyang didn't see Zhang Xiao even when he went to the cafeteria for lunch.
It seems there's no other way. I was thinking of talking to him about whether I could stay.
Regardless of the job's quality, it can temporarily alleviate his situation, ensuring he has something to offer.
He even persuaded his family to split up the household, so the couple couldn't just starve with him, could they?
Xu Xiangyang wondered if he should bribe Zhang Xiao to keep this temporary worker.
But then I thought, this isn't the future, and these people don't get to decide what to do.
Even if he asked someone for help, they probably wouldn't dare to.
He sat alone on the stone bench by the gate, looking at the gloomy sky; it was going to snow again.
"Comrade, could you tell me how to get to the grain depot director's office?"
A woman's voice rang out, clear and melodious, like that of a nightingale.
Xu Xiangyang looked up and saw a woman in her early twenties standing in front of him.
The woman was wearing a yellow Lenin suit and had a slender figure. She had an oval face with round, almond-shaped eyes, and her short, layered hair made her look even more vibrant. She was even more beautiful than the "jade girl" stars of the 1980s.
Most importantly, it's her pure and innocent charm that makes people like her a lot.
"Comrade?" The woman looked at him in confusion, not understanding why he wasn't answering her question.
Xu Xiangyang snapped out of his daze and said with a smile, "Sorry, the office is over there. You'll see it as soon as you go in."
He pointed to the courtyard inside, and said that the director's office would be just around the corner.
"Thank you," the woman said politely, and then left.
Xu Xiangyang watched her departing figure and thought to himself that women at this time were much prettier than the modern internet celebrity faces.
While she might not be considered a stunning beauty, she was still a rare find.
Who doesn't love looking at beautiful women? Actually, women love looking at beautiful women even more than men.
"Hey? Comrade." At this moment, another female comrade ran over, panting.
Perhaps because she ran too fast, her hair was all messed up by the wind, and the winter wind was so cold that her face was all red.
Her two braids were swung around in a mess, and her narrow, almond-shaped eyes were misty, probably from running too fast.
She took a breath and grabbed Xu Xiangyang's sleeve. "You, have you seen a female comrade wearing a Lenin suit? Where did she go?"
When Xu Xiangyang saw her ask this, he hesitated for a moment. This was a grain depot, and there were so many people here. They probably weren't bad people, right?
"I went to the director's office," he replied casually.
This woman doesn't look like a bad person. Even if she were, with her small arms and legs, she couldn't possibly take on so many people.
She glanced at Xu Xiangyang, thanked him, and quickly went into the courtyard.
Xu Xiangyang didn't linger. Today might be his last day working here, so he should get back to his post as soon as possible.
He didn't see Zhang Xiao all afternoon and wondered if the person knew he wanted to ask for his help and was therefore avoiding him.
Probably not.
It shouldn't be that bad; maybe they really have something going on.
As it was time to leave work, Yan Laosan felt a little sorry for him, but he didn't have any power to make him stay.
Saying more is just a waste of breath.
He sighed and patted Xu Xiangyang on the shoulder. "Brother, if there's anything I can help you with in the future, just come to me. I don't have much else to offer, but I'm very strong."
Those who do the hard labor may not be able to help much in other ways, but they have plenty of strength.
