Speaking of Qian Wenqing driving independently, Chen Jiancai felt quite moved. He also felt quite impressed watching Xu Xiangyang privately teach people to drive.
After all, they hadn't really taught Qian Wenqing much before, and now he's quite skilled at driving.
In any case, having two more people driving in the convoy relieved some of the pressure on them.
After all, they had been relying on the two of them all the time, and working non-stop all day was too tiring.
Xu Xiangyang hadn't expected to be out on the road again, but he was fine on his own, at least he wasn't on guard.
There are many inconveniences to traveling with two people, so traveling alone is generally quite nice.
Chen Jiancai explained the details of the trip and gave Xu Xiangyang a map showing the route to the next city.
He took the map back to study it, and Qian Wenqing came over from the side.
You could tell how happy he was just by looking at the expression on his face; he finally felt like he'd made it through.
"Brother Xu, thanks to you so much. Otherwise, I would never know when I would be able to drive on my own." Qian Wenqing sat down next to Xu Xiangyang with a smug look on his face.
I also pointed out the location on the map to him, where there were places to rest and refuel, and which side roads were easier to walk on.
The others are fine, but Xu Xiangyang has a psychological trauma from this back alley. He will never take the back alley again. It's not like it costs him any money for gas, so why should he save money?
If something really happens again, he can't guarantee he won't have the same luck as last time.
After finishing the conversation, Qian Wenqing told him to go out for a smoke.
Seeing that he had something to say, Xu Xiangyang followed him out.
The two lit cigarettes, and Qian Wenqing said, "Brother Xu, are you going to the trade fair at five o'clock this afternoon?"
Qian Wenqing was quite anxious because the things he brought back from his last business trip hadn't been sold yet.
After all, this stuff ties up money!
Xu Xiangyang had quite a few things in his hands, and after thinking about it, he decided to go.
After all, he needs money now; he doesn't have enough to buy a house.
I only have a little over 500 yuan in my pocket. I can't be left penniless after buying a house, can I?
You always need to keep some money on you, otherwise you'll feel uneasy.
Instead, he felt that a house that could be bought for 500 yuan probably wouldn't be very good, and if he wanted to buy a good house, he would need to prepare more money.
"Okay, shall I wait for you at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative?"
The two of them had met at the supply and marketing cooperative before, which is why they asked that question.
Qian Wenqing nodded, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you tonight."
The two finished their cigarettes and then returned to the office.
After getting off work in the afternoon, Qian Wenqing went home to get his things, but Xu Xiangyang did not go home; instead, he wandered around outside for a while.
Since everything is in the space, I can take whatever I want.
He first went to a state-run restaurant and ate some dumplings, then went to wait at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
The food in the space was all mass-produced, and he got tired of it after a while, but he didn't know how to cook anything too complicated.
As dusk fell, Xu Xiangyang glanced at his watch; it was already 4:30, and he figured he was almost there.
"Comrade Xu?" A female voice sounded from behind.
Xu Xiangyang turned around and looked at the person. He recognized her. After a moment's thought, he realized she was the girl he'd run into several times before.
"It's you, Comrade Shen." He greeted him with a smile.
Shen Fangjun didn't expect them to run into each other here; many days had passed since their last meeting.
"Comrade Xu, what are you doing here?" She looked around. It was rush hour, and there were quite a few people on the street.
Xu Xiangyang replied, "I'm waiting for a friend here. Do you work here?"
He saw that Shen Fangjun was wearing the uniform of the supply and marketing cooperative, so he asked her about it.
Shen Fangjun smiled and nodded, "Yes, I've been working for more than half a month now. You wait for your friend, I'll be going now."
She had other things to do, so she couldn't take too long.
Xu Xiangyang gave a perfunctory reply and then watched her walk away.
This child has had a tough life; the last two times I saw her, she was being bullied.
Seeing her reminded him of his past life, where he had no family but was still bullied by many people.
"Brother Xu!" Qian Wenqing ran over, panting, and said, "Have you been waiting long?"
"No, it's not time yet," Xu Xiangyang told him to catch his breath and go later.
By the time they arrived at their destination, it was already 5:30 PM.
Xu Xiangyang had already carried a black bag while waiting for people at the supply and marketing cooperative, so he now had something he wanted to sell.
Qian Wenqing was carrying a large suitcase filled with a lot of things; you could tell just by looking at it.
When the two arrived at the place, Xu Xiangyang saw that there weren't many people in the room, so he found a place to stand.
The man who hosted the trade fair was known as Brother Li by everyone. He always had a kind face and was very polite to everyone he spoke to.
He walked towards Xu Xiangyang step by step and then handed him a cigarette.
Xu Xiangyang did not refuse, "Thank you, Brother Li."
As he spoke, he took out a lighter, lit it for him first, and then lit it himself.
When Brother Li saw his lighter, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You work in the same unit as Xiao Qian?" he asked.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. This wasn't a secret, and besides, Qian Wenqing would find out anyway, so he might as well tell him himself.
Brother Li nodded knowingly and said, "Our trade fair is mainly for people we know. The black market is the main source of income. If you have anything that you can't sell, you can give it to me and I'll help you sell it."
People often have items that are hard to sell, so they give them to him and ask him to help them sell them on the black market.
Brother Li has a wide network of connections and knows many people, so the things he gives him sell very quickly, and the prices are not low.
This is where people usually bring things they need on short notice. Most of the unsold items are kept here with Brother Li.
The main reason is to prioritize selling to insiders, for everyone's convenience.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you from now on, Brother Li."
Although this is just a polite remark, who knows if we might actually need to trouble them in the future?
Brother Li nodded, then went to greet the others.
Generally, he doesn't deal with newcomers, but since he works in the same unit as Qian Wenqing, it means he'll have a steady supply of goods, which is why he came over to talk.
He can make money if multiple people sell his products. Although the commission for one or two items is not much, it adds up over time. With more people selling, there are more products to sell.
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived and that Brother Li had said the transaction could proceed, Xu Xiangyang took out all the items he had brought.
There was a pair of men's leather shoes, a pair of women's leather shoes, and five silk scarves.
These items are everywhere in the space, and the scarves are all dark green or dark blue, with red being a more acceptable color.
Although there aren't as many brightly colored clothes or accessories now, people still quite like this style.
It is precisely because it is scarce that red is more attractive.
