Lu Zhiye's ears twitched. That man seemed to speak very honestly, but he actually had a lot of ulterior motives!
However, he cannot make a judgment about someone based on just a few words!
For the rest of the night, almost no one in the carriage dared to sleep; everyone held their bags tightly!
Tengchong was no exception. The big man on top, seeing that he wasn't going to sleep, sat down on the lower bunk!
"My name is Li Dazhuang. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll be companions on this journey!"
Tengchong chuckled and shook hands with him. After introducing himself, he wanted to introduce Lu Zhiye, but when he saw that Lu Zhiye was fast asleep with his back to them, he stopped himself from saying that.
The two hit it off immediately. When Tengchong learned that Li Dazhuang was planning to go to a factory in Zhejiang Province to buy some goods to sell in his county, he exclaimed with delight, "Brother Dazhuang, we're really on the same page!"
I'm getting ready to go in my clothes, what about you?
Li Dazhuang scratched his head and smiled shyly: "I don't have that much capital. I saw that there are some places in the county town that sell hair accessories for little girls, and some that sell buttons, but the styles are not as nice as those in the city!"
So I thought I'd stock up on hair accessories and decorations and sell them at a stall!
I heard there are factories in Zhejiang Province that make artificial flowers.
Have you ever heard of this Brother Teng?
Tengchong thought for a moment and said, "Yes, there are some, but they are mostly small factories. If you want to buy one, you'll probably have to rely on luck!"
Li Dazhuang sighed softly, "Who can argue with that? My family has poured all their savings into this project. If I don't make a name for myself, I won't have the face to go back home!"
These words made Tengchong feel a little sad. All the children who are away from home feel the same way!
It was precisely because of a seemingly heartfelt remark that the two quickly grew closer!
Lu Zhiye lay on the bed and sighed silently. This silly child had unknowingly revealed all his secrets!
He initially thought Tengchong was a bit foolish, but then he thought, a man in his early twenties—no, he could only be called a boy—with a large sum of money in his hands and full of ambition, was naturally full of vigor and high spirits.
They haven't experienced the harsh realities of society yet, and they don't understand the principle of not flaunting wealth when they're out in the world!
Not only should one not flaunt their wealth, but it's also best not to reveal their family situation.
Sure enough, anyone who isn't a fool should be able to guess from Tengchong's few words that he comes from a well-off family, and that his family members are at least leaders!
His tone carried a hint of arrogance, clearly indicating that he had grown up in a privileged environment!
A few rays of light pierced through the windows into the carriage, and as everyone watched the rising sun, their anxiety dissipated somewhat!
Just after 6 o'clock, the flight attendant came to ask if anyone wanted breakfast!
Tengchong didn't mind Lu Zhiye's attitude at all, and turned around to get him a breakfast!
After everyone finished breakfast, they went back to bed. They had stayed up most of the night before, so they figured thieves wouldn't be so bold in broad daylight. They all felt safe and went into bed.
Li Dazhuang looked at Tengchong, then at Lu Zhiye, and realized that the man had no intention of meddling in other people's business, so he felt relieved.
He frequented various venues and had seen many people, but he just couldn't see through the man in front of him!
Even when chatting with Tengchong, this person was extremely guarded, never mentioning his family background or past!
All that could be seen was that this person spoke with extraordinary manners, and Li Dazhuang always kept his distance from such people!
Tengchong slept until noon before slowly waking up.
Lu Zhiye was sitting there eating lunch, and Tengchong also had a lunch on the small table in front of him!
Tengchong grinned at Lu Zhiye with a smug grin: "It's a wonder you still thought of me!"
This overly familiar manner left Lu Zhiye speechless.
For the rest of the afternoon, Li Dazhuang sat on the lower bunk almost the entire time.
He and Tengchong had a very congenial conversation and shared many insights, which were surprisingly similar!
Finally, Tengchong excitedly said, "Anyway, we're going to the same place. This train stops in Yiwu, so let's go and visit all the factories together!"
This way, we can also offer each other suggestions!
Brother Lu, what do you think?
Even at the very end, Tengchong didn't forget to ask Lu Zhiye a question.
Lu Zhiye shook his head expressionlessly: "My goals are different from yours. I already have a clothing factory in mind, so I probably can't go with you!"
Tengchong was somewhat disappointed. Compared to Li Dazhuang, he still preferred chatting with Lu Zhiye. Tengchong didn't know why, but he just felt that way subconsciously!
He opened his mouth to say a few more words of advice, but Li Dazhuang grabbed his arm: "Judging from Comrade Lu's appearance, this trip must be quite urgent. We have to go to the garment factory, the plastics factory, and some other small factories. It's just a waste of Comrade Lu's time."
"Let's just the two of us walk around. I know someone there; I can have him show us around a bit more!"
A sense of doubt arose in Tengchong's heart. Why was Li Dazhuang in such a hurry?
It seems like they'd love for the two of them to be alone together!
Tengchong wasn't stupid; he sensed something was wrong!
A pair of eyes stared straight at Li Dazhuang, making Li Dazhuang feel uneasy. He chuckled dryly and asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
I had been to Zhejiang Province before and had already done two small business trips there. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so bold as to come alone this time!
That person is someone I met during my last visit to investigate!
Seeing the doubt on Tengchong's face disappear, Li Dazhuang finally felt relieved!
He then changed the subject and started talking to Tengchong about the small commodity market!
