Chapter 343
The next morning, Ji Wanmei got up very early.
She went back to her school dormitory first and packed her luggage to take home.
The items didn't look like much, but they filled two or three large bags and a rolling suitcase. Luckily, A-Qiang drove over to pick her up; otherwise, it would have been really inconvenient for Ji Wanmei to take the bus alone with so much luggage.
Ji Wanmei will probably call another rental car to go back.
She really didn't want to endure five or six hours of bumpy travel on a long bus; it was too grueling.
After packing her things, Ji Wanmei took her luggage to the school gate and asked a part-time shop assistant to help her pick it up.
Before the summer vacation started, Ji Wanmei asked the male student who was helping her with her part-time job if she wanted to go home for the summer break.
If the Su family doesn't come home for two months, they can still keep an eye on the video store, and Ji Wanmei will continue to pay him his salary as usual.
Even during summer vacation, you can still stay in the school dormitories, but there's no cafeteria to eat in.
The part-time shop assistant's name is Tian Dong.
Tian Dong had originally planned to find a part-time job during the two-month summer vacation. He thought that Ji Wanmei would close the shop after the summer vacation started, but he didn't expect that Ji Wanmei would continue to operate the shop. So, he naturally stayed to continue working.
After all, the salary Ji Wanmei offered was much higher than that of many part-time or temporary workers outside.
Inside the record store, besides a small storage room that the landlord originally used to store things, there was also a utility room that could be used as a living space if a bed were placed there.
Not long after, A-Qiang and Zhu Shuangyan arrived.
Ji Wanmei had originally planned to go to the guesthouse to find them after she had finished making arrangements on her side, but they came over first instead.
"Wanmei, we're all packed." Zhu Shuangyan said with a smile, carrying her bag. "Qiang has parked the car outside and is waiting for us. If you have any luggage, have him come over and help you put it in the car."
Ji Wanmei said, "My luggage is all left by the door."
Ah Qiang came over, carrying a few items in each hand, and easily took Ji Wanmei's luggage.
Ji Wanmei and Tian Dong exchanged a few final words, then Ji Wanmei turned and walked away hand in hand with Zhu Shuangyan.
A-Qiang knew that Zhu Shuangyan would have a job after this trip back. Although Zhu Shuangyan had a college diploma and could easily find work anywhere, with Ji Wanmei's introduction, she would most likely get a job at the Dongfang Factory, at least as an office worker, and definitely not as an ordinary worker.
In addition, thanks to his connections with Lei Tingjun, A-Qiang was also very diligent in handling Ji Wanmei's affairs.
No matter what you ask him to do, he will never refuse.
The group got into the car, the same old gray pickup truck.
These were the same batch of used vehicles purchased when Lei Tingjun was running the Lei Ting Transport Team.
It looks similar to the one from the Thunder Army.
However, after getting into the car, Ji Wanmei noticed that the passenger seat of A-Qiang's car had been kept very clean and tidy by Zhu Shuangyan.
A small blanket was laid on the seat, and there was a handmade cushion on the backrest. A red tassel, handmade for the Christmas festival, was hanging on the front mirror, embroidered with the four characters "一路平安" (safe journey) and dangling with matching tassels. It swayed gently, quite a sight to behold.
Ji Wanmei saw this and smiled slightly.
She guessed that it was Zhu Shuangyan who made it for Aqiang by hand that Christmas.
It's truly blissful for couples who genuinely love each other to be together.
Ji Wanmei chatted with them casually for a while, and soon after, she leaned against the window, closed her eyes, and became drowsy.
"Oh, by the way, I have some water here, Wanmei, would you like some?"
Zhu Shuangyan took two bottles of water out of her bag and turned around to see that Ji Wanmei had already leaned back and closed her eyes.
Zhu Shuangyan glanced at the rearview mirror and asked A-Qiang, "Is she asleep?"
Ah Qiang said, "Sigh, when we came here, Brother Lei told me to keep Miss Ji's matter in mind, to be diligent in everything, and to do whatever she needs without her having to ask."
Ah Qiang complained, "Brother Lei cares so much about her, but Miss Ji doesn't seem to care that much..."
The remaining voices were deliberately lowered.
Ji Wanmei leaned against the window, her slightly lowered eyelashes trembling, but she didn't open her eyes.
Zhu Shuangyan lowered her voice and said, "What do you know? Wanmei seems fine on the surface, but she's probably still troubled. After all, she and Brother Lei..."
Ah Qiang: "You didn't see it, but after Brother Lei came back from East China last time, he was like a ghost, and he didn't smile at all. In just one month, he lost a lot of weight. Even so, he wouldn't let me tell Miss Ji, afraid that she would worry."
"If you saw Brother Lei like that, and then saw Miss Ji like that, you would feel sorry for Brother Lei too."
Ji Wanmei didn't listen to what was coming next. She pretended to be asleep without saying a word, forcing herself to close her eyes tightly to prevent the tears from sliding out.
***
"Wanmei, Wanmei, wake up, we've arrived in Pingquan County."
Ji Wanmei felt someone shaking her. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Zhu Shuangyan's smiling face in front of her.
"We've arrived so quickly." Ji Wanmei rubbed her shoulders, which were a little numb from being pressed down, and stood up. She saw the houses in Pingquan County.
"Okay, we're here." Zhu Shuangyan turned around and said, "Shall we take you back to the factory staff compound first?"
"Okay, now that you've taken me home, you should all go home and rest early too." Ji Wanmei sat up straight, but she wasn't really looking forward to getting home anytime soon.
