Chapter 141
Ji Wanmei originally planned to go to school to register by herself.
But Ji Xingguo couldn't rest easy. After all, it was his daughter's first day of school, and he had to take her there and personally help her complete all the school procedures before he could feel at ease.
So Ji Xingguo specially adjusted his two days off to send Ji Wanmei to the provincial capital, Huadong.
Before setting off the next day, Luo Chunyan made a special trip to the bus station to see Ji Wanmei off.
Through the bus window, Luo Chunyan handed a floral cloth bag to Ji Wanmei.
"Meimei, these are a few jars of chili meat sauce that I made myself. They taste just like homemade. Take them with you. If you don't like the food outside, try some of this."
Ji Wanmei took the cloth bag, which was quite heavy. She waved to Chunyan and said, "I understand. You can go back now, Chunyan."
The car is about to leave.
"Meimei, when you get to the provincial capital, remember to write to me often!"
"Yes, I will. There will definitely be a phone in the dorm when I get to school. I will call home then. If you need anything, just come to my house and call me."
The two sisters said their reluctant goodbyes through the window.
Luo Chunyan stood under the bus, looking enviously at the bus that was about to depart, her heart filled with emotion.
She and Ji Wanmei were best friends who went to the same elementary and middle schools and were in the same class.
Now, Ji Wanmei is about to go to the provincial capital for further studies, while he can only stay in this small county town as an unknown shop assistant.
From that moment on, the fates of the two people seemed to begin to diverge at different crossroads.
Like trains traveling on their respective life tracks, they only move forward and will not turn back.
Luo Chunyan could foresee that Ji Wanmei's life would get better and better, while her own future was uncertain.
She had no idea what the future held.
Ji Wanmei waved and turned around, watching Luo Chunyan's figure grow smaller and smaller behind her, and felt a sense of destiny pulling her along.
Having been given a second chance at life, she finally changed the course of her own destiny and that of those around her, much like the butterfly effect.
Hopefully, they will all move towards a better future.
The bus slowly drove towards the provincial capital.
At that time, there were no expressways in the districts and counties, only muddy and gravel roads. The buses traveled very slowly, and it would take at least four hours to reach Huadong City.

There are two sides to the story.
On that day, A-Qiang decisively packed his bags, closed the recycling station at home, and took a car to Pingdong City.
Lei Tingjun received A-Qiang's call on the first day and picked him up at the bus station the next day.
As soon as the two met, Lei Tingjun told A-Qiang some good news.
He managed to get three large trucks, each capable of carrying five or six tons of cargo. They were all discarded vehicles from other construction sites and he planned to sell them as used cars. Lei Tingjun rented them for him.
The rental period is very short, at most one or two months. Once the other party finds a used car buyer, they have to return these cars.
Ah Qiang immediately took out the thousand yuan he had scraped together from his bag and asked Lei Tingjun, "Brother Lei, is this enough?"
Lei Tingjun took it and counted; a thousand yuan was definitely not enough to buy a car.
However, the Thunder have no plans to buy it now.
Buying a car is too expensive for them, who are just starting out in the business; renting a car is much more cost-effective.
“I’ll keep the money for now. Consider this business a partnership between us brothers.” Lei Tingjun didn’t mince words. “Once we make money, I’ll give you half.”
Three large trucks. Lei Tingjun and A Qiang can drive themselves, so they just need to find another driver. It's easy.
Lei Tingjun took A-Qiang to eat first, and then took him to his accommodation at the construction site to settle in.
The next day, Lei Tingjun went to Zhao Yingda and said he wanted to take on the job of recycling waste materials at the construction site.
The company now hires waste disposal companies that require payment for their services, but Lei Tingjun says, "I don't need the company to pay me for services. I have only one condition: I must handle all the recycled waste myself."
Zhao Yingda was an engineer by profession, so of course he knew that scrap steel could be sold for money.
However, the content is not high, and cleaning it is time-consuming and laborious.
It's not that they can't specifically clean up the waste for recycling, but spending that time and manpower on it would be penny-wise and pound-foolish.
A day's delay in the project would cost tens of thousands of yuan, so Zhao Yingda really didn't care about those small amounts.
Therefore, Fangyuan Construction Company had the good fortune to find a waste recycling company to pack and dispose of all the waste materials at a very low price, saving time and effort.
Now that Zhao Yingda heard Lei Tingjun say this, he understood that Lei Tingjun wanted to do this scrap metal business.
Zhao Yingda then asked, "We have quite a lot of waste material on our construction site, don't we? You need a fleet of five or six large trucks to process all that waste. If you can't process it, and it causes too much waste to pile up on our site, affecting the progress of our project, that won't do."
Lei Tingjun said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, I've already found the truck and the people. As long as you agree, I guarantee I can do a great job for you."
After a moment's consideration, Zhao Yingda thought that if Lei Tingjun could dispose of the waste without the company having to pay him a labor fee, then it would be the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yingda looked at the young man standing in front of him again.
He had previously wanted Lei Tingjun to be his driver and bodyguard, but Lei Tingjun refused. At that time, Zhao Yingda could tell that Lei Tingjun was an ambitious young man.
