Chapter 44 Long Journey (shuhaige.net)



And there just happened to be a position that needed to be filled, so his father pulled some strings for him, and now he's become a warehouse manager.

The work is very relaxed, and the benefits are excellent.

It's just not very interesting, and at his age, it's impossible for him to settle down.

Xu Xiangyang was deeply moved when he heard what he said.

See? Those with connections who get into university don't want to go; if they want to work, they'll just get a good job arranged for them.

However, Xu Xiangyang thought to himself that going to school now would be pointless, as he would soon be barred from attending university.

He glanced at Liu Feng, wondering if Liu Feng knew something in advance.

It's also possible that they were just lucky; working is indeed better than going to school at this time.

Damn it...

"Hey? We'll be working together from now on? I'll treat you to lunch, remember to come early." Liu Feng greeted him, then took his lunchbox to the private room inside.

He was probably having dinner with his father.

Xu Xiangyang didn't take his words seriously, saying things like "I'll treat you to a meal next time" or "Let's go out for tea sometime."

Don't believe such words; wait until it actually happens. In the adult world, it's all just polite talk; taking it too seriously can be awkward.

After finishing his meal, Xu Xiangyang returned to the lounge.

Everyone was inside, and they were all idle, some drinking tea, others eating melon seeds.

Chen Jiancai called him in and said, "Xiao Xu, there's a long-distance job tomorrow. You'll go with Xiao Qian. He knows the route. This is your first time driving a long distance, so be careful!"

I just got back and there's already a long-distance job?

Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Master Chen, I'll definitely do my job well."

There are advantages to driving long distances, because there are subsidies available due to the long distances involved.

Qian Wenqing exchanged a glance with him, his eyes also showing the same joy.

Who wouldn't be happy? Every month he looks forward to a long-distance trip, a trip to a big city, and the things he brings back can be sold for a high price.

Xu Xiangyang didn't know where the destination was, so he wasn't excited, but just felt very curious.

On his first trip, he just wanted to get away safely. He planned to buy whatever he could, but it wouldn't matter if he couldn't.

All he needed was this opportunity; with this excuse, what he brought out next wouldn't attract attention.

Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing had lunch together, and they also saw Liu Feng. However, Liu Feng went straight to a private room, accompanied by Director Liu.

See? What they said this morning was just polite talk; it wouldn't be good to take it seriously.

After finishing his meal, Qian Wenqing told him about the place they were going to visit and things to be aware of.

"After the company issues us the letter of introduction tomorrow, we'll go to Chongqing. This time it's for procurement; our colleagues there have already finished purchasing, so we just need to go and bring it back."

After he finished speaking, he also mentioned what time they would be leaving the next day.

Xu Xiangyang listened attentively and remembered everything he said.

This is the first time I've driven this vehicle, so I definitely have to do it well and not let the leaders have any complaints.

However, as soon as the two of them left the cafeteria, someone asked Qian Wenqing to help them carry something back.

Xu Xiangyang greeted everyone first, then went back alone. It was only because he didn't know many people at work that he did this; otherwise, people would have asked him to bring things back for them.

Fortunately, I didn't know that many people. Otherwise, if I had to carry a small notebook like Qian Wenqing, it would have been quite troublesome.

He's not ready to act as a personal shopper for others yet; he mainly wants to figure out the routes.

If I travel for work alone in the future, I can bring back whatever I want.

After getting off work and having dinner, Xu Xiangyang went to the shipping container. He planned to look for something from this era and prepare it in advance so he could take it out when he returned.

He planned to give Qian Wenqing permission to sell it at a small gathering later.

There are definitely people who buy good things there; you usually don't encounter people with a lot of money when you go to the black market.

Even if you really take it to the black market, someone might see something good and try to steal it from you.

The logistics port was very large. He opened each container one by one, took notes in his notebook, and then put numbers on the containers.

This is also to distinguish things so that you can find them when you want to look for them.

However, he found quite a few good things this time, including some outdated clothes and some old-fashioned leather shoes.

Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing went to a department store in the next city last time, and all the leather shoes there were this style.

Buying leather shoes these days is not easy; I heard you even need shoe coupons. These are not something that ordinary people can afford.

Even if you have the money, you can't buy it; it's a rare and specially supplied item.

He glanced at the shoes and picked out a few pairs in sizes that are currently common.

Sizes 44, 43, and 42 are common men's shoe sizes, while women's shoes are mostly 36, 37, and 38.

Xu Xiangyang didn't prepare much; he only had one pair of shoes of the same size, making a total of six pairs.

That's quite a lot. How many pairs of shoes did the department store even display?

There wasn't much else. He glanced at the mechanical watch next to him; more than an hour had passed. It was already past six when he came in.

It's almost 8 p.m. now, and he can't linger too long. He has to be at work by 6 a.m. tomorrow morning; he has to get up early to travel far.

After putting his things away, he prepared to go to sleep.

Anyway, we'll have time after we get there, so we can talk about it then.

The next morning, Xu Xiangyang put on new clothes, not particularly new, just the black Zhongshan suit he had worn last time.

I don't mean anything by it, but when you go on a long trip, you should at least dress decently, otherwise you won't be able to get into the department store and people will look down on you.

To be honest, no matter when, when going to a nice place, people always look at the clothes first, then the people.

You're dressed in tattered clothes, no one will let you in the door, they might even call the police, thinking you're a beggar.

Qian Wenqing arrived early in the morning, having changed his clothes, which were a bit nicer than what he usually wore to work.

"Brother Xu is here." He quickly greeted him when he saw him arrive.

"I've already brought everything, including the letters of introduction. I'll distribute them to you when we get on the bus." He was holding a bag, presumably containing all the items.

Now, they need a letter of introduction to travel long distances, and their meals on the way must be reimbursed by their work unit, which has already allocated the allowance in advance.

It's not like you can get reimbursed for whatever you eat out. What if you eat delicacies and exceed the limit?

The company provides a fixed amount of food; if you want better food, you have to pay for it yourself, no one will cover your expenses.

Xu Xiangyang nodded, then took the car keys and got into the car.

After warming up the car for a while, the two set off.

It was just dawn, but they had headlights, so they weren't worried about not being able to see the road.

Qian Wenqing, who was standing to the side, took out the items, and gave Xu Xiangyang's letter of introduction separately.

This is also to avoid being checked once we arrive at the destination.
