After more than two days of travel, we finally arrived in Shanghai.
Ning Yuan hadn't showered for two days and didn't care about the smell of sweat on her body. She led her team to unload all the goods.
While unloading the goods, she saw a commotion in the distance.
She knows several employees at the train station who will come over to help pick her up from the station.
"What's going on up ahead?" Ning Yuan asked curiously.
A train station employee shook his head: "They came on the same train as you, a man and a woman. They were dressed too provocatively and got robbed and robbed. The woman was pretty and was almost dragged off the train and raped. Luckily, the man knew some martial arts, and someone called the train police."
"This looks like a petty bourgeois with no experience of long-distance train travel." Ning Yuan shook her head after hearing this, not taking it to heart.
Ou Minglang helped her drag a large sack, panting, "Let's go, Ning Yuan, I still have to go back to school tonight!"
Ning Yuan nodded and also picked up a smaller sack: "Let's go!"
She had it all planned out: she wanted to be one of the earliest electronics wholesalers in Shanghai, and the Tenth Department Store had promised to give her a counter after the renovations were completed!
From Shanghai, radiating throughout the entire Yangtze River Delta!
However, she never expected that while directing the loading and registration of goods onto trucks outside the train station, she would encounter someone she thought she would never see again...
"You are... Ning Yuan?!"
Suddenly someone stood in front of her and called out to her in surprise.
Ning Yuan had a pen cap in her mouth and was writing in her notebook with a fountain pen when she suddenly heard someone call her name. The voice sounded somewhat familiar.
She subconsciously looked up and saw a young man of medium build not far away, wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and trousers, carrying a briefcase.
She was stunned for a moment before recognizing him: "Li Yan?"
Her ex-husband from her past life?
Looking at her disheveled appearance, Li Yan's eyes flashed with a complicated expression: "How did you end up in Shanghai... I thought you went back to Ningnan City."
After he went to study at the provincial forestry school, he never returned to Sitang Village, nor did he hear any news about Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan smiled generously: "I study and work in Shanghai."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over a tall, fair-skinned, single-eyelid, square-faced girl with a long braid next to Li Yan.
She was taken aback: "This is your... boyfriend?"
Li Yan was taken aback. He glanced at the girl beside him, coughed lightly, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, she's a reporter from a news agency. We met when we were studying at night school. How did you know she's my girlfriend?"
Ning Yuan looked at the woman standing next to Li Yan, smiling and nodding at her, and felt a moment of complicated emotions: "I guessed."
How would he know? Of course, it's because this woman... was Li Yan's confidante in his past life.
They met again in this lifetime.
Li Yan looked at the dusty-looking girl in front of him and frowned slightly: "You and... Rong Zhaonan are divorced?"
Anger flashed in his eyes: "You helped him so much back then, how could he possibly let you down now that he's doing well!"
If they weren't divorced, how could Ning Yuan, a young woman, have come to Shanghai instead of going to Beijing with Rong Zhaonan?
Ning Yuan shook her head, and just as she was about to say something, Li Yan suddenly said seriously, "Ning Yuan, we are from the same hometown. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me. I'm in Shanghai to get material quotas and will be staying at the Materials Bureau for a while. I will definitely help you if I can."
He didn't know why he acted so impulsively. Looking at the girl in front of him, sweating profusely and working hard, he felt a sense of unease and unease.
Just like...
I felt like I owed her so much, as if all her hardships were because of him.
Ning Yuan frowned slightly. Li Yan was not a good husband, but he was always upright and incorruptible in his work.
She remembered the quota issue from the Shanghai Materials Bureau, which involved a bribery case; he was almost beaten to death.
After thinking for a moment, she still reminded him, "In a planned economy, many bulk commodities involve murky dealings, so please be careful."
The woman next to Li Yan was taken aback upon hearing this, and when she looked back at Ning Yuan, her gaze became wary: "You're not a delivery person, how could you know so much?"
Hearing her unpleasant tone, Li Yan frowned immediately: "Don't talk like that. Ning Yuan was just trying to be helpful!"
After saying that, he looked at Ning Yuan and said, "My boyfriend doesn't know how to talk, so don't take it to heart."
Ning Yuan smiled faintly: "It's okay, but I don't have any difficulties. I'm just a self-employed individual earning a living."
She could tell that Li Yan felt guilty towards her, although she didn't know why he felt guilty towards her, someone he had no connection with in this life.
But she could tell that he probably misunderstood that she was having a very difficult time!
As they were talking, Ou Minglang suddenly appeared from behind, panting: "Uncle Jiu and the others carried everything upstairs. There were eighty-eight bags of clothes, electronics... your friend?"
Ou Minglang only noticed two people standing in front of Ning Yuan halfway through his sentence.
Ning Yuan smiled and introduced them frankly and generously: "This is the brigade cadre from the village where I was sent to work in the countryside, and his partner."
Her mindset is different now; the events of her past life seem like a dream, and she no longer cares about them.
Although Ou Minglang was also covered in dust, his delicate and clear face and temperament were undeniable.
He was somewhat taken aback and puzzled: "Ning Yuan, is this your current girlfriend?"
Ning Yuan shook her head: "He is me..."
Before he could finish speaking, two loud honking sounds suddenly rang out behind him—"Beep beep!"
A Hongqi car drove up and stopped behind them.
Ou Minglang immediately patted her on the shoulder: "Get on the bus. There are too many people in front of the station. Unless we are unloading cargo, we won't be allowed to stop!"
Ning Yuan smiled at Li Yan, who was still in a daze, and said, "I have to go now. Let's talk again another time. Thank you for your concern, but I'm doing fine. I wish you both happiness and a long and happy marriage!"
Li Yan stared at the car in astonishment, then at her, awkwardly and stiffly saying, "Your car..."
“My friend and I run a business together. We use the big truck to haul goods, and occasionally we use a small car for easier travel. Of course, the car is borrowed.” She smiled frankly.
The woman next to Li Yan whispered, "These days, people who can borrow a car aren't just anyone."
As she spoke, she gently nudged Li Yan, a smile spreading across her face: "We're all from the same hometown, why don't we exchange contact information?"
