An Jingzhi couldn't explain why he was going there, as his money wasn't earned in a legitimate way. He could only find an excuse.
An's mother also knew that the revenue of these factories had been getting worse and worse in recent years.
If we hadn't seen several factories go bankrupt, who would have believed that this state-owned factory would go bankrupt?
This was a stable job, a job that would last a lifetime and could be passed down to children and grandchildren. But it collapsed just like that.
This is why there are more and more self-employed individuals.
"Son, I don't understand these things either. If you want to make a living, you can go to the south first." If it really doesn't work out, the son can come back and do the job of a porter first. But she didn't know whether the job of a porter would still be there when her son came back, so Mother An was a little hesitant.
However, nothing could stop An Jingzhi. It is said that a good man has ambitions. An Jingzhi's recent performance gave his mother great confidence, and she decided to believe in her son.
"Okay, I'm leaving almost tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Please talk to my dad on my behalf." After saying that, An Jingzhi went out to buy food for the journey.
An's mother replied, "Okay, don't worry, I'll talk to your dad on your behalf."
"What are you doing?"
An Jingzhi replied, "Aren't we going south? I plan to buy some food for the journey."
An's mother quickly grabbed An Jingzhi and said, "What are you buying? Mom will make it for you. Why are you going out and wasting money when there are so many things at home?"
After holding the other person, An's mother went to the kitchen to steam a few big buns for An Jingzhi, bake a few pancakes, and prepare some sauce for him to take with him.
While she was busy, she thought that she seemed to have missed something, but she couldn't remember it after thinking for a long time.
An Jingzhi, who had finally fooled An's mother, felt relieved, but he never expected that An's mother would actually arrange a blind date for him. Fortunately, An's mother's attention was diverted by him and she had forgotten about it.
The original owner had been delayed in the countryside for a few years. After she came back, she didn't like the job An Changhua arranged for her. Naturally, the girl didn't like her because she had no job.
But the original owner's family was willing to pay more for the betrothal gift and agreed to pay three turns and one ring for the betrothal gift, so some families were still willing to marry their daughters to the original owner's family, but those with better conditions looked down on the original owner, and those with poor conditions looked down on the original owner.
As a result, the process was delayed.
…
Two days later.
An Jingzhi took a bag and together with Lu Lian and Huang Guang, they boarded a train to the south.
After much deliberation, An Jingzhi decided to take Huang Guang with him. To be honest, Huang Guang was a brave and capable man, and he was also smarter than the three Lulian brothers. If they were willing to follow him, he would have a good assistant, and many things that the three Lulian brothers could not do could be handed over to Huang Guang.
They bought seat tickets. It wasn't that An Jingzhi was stingy and didn't want to buy sleeper tickets, but sleeper tickets were not that easy to buy these days.
The seats bought by several people were connected in a row, and the five of them just happened to sit together.
This business trip was funded by public funds, and all the tickets were paid for by An Jingzhi.
"How is it? Has your family explained everything?" An Jingzhi asked Huang Guang while peeling the orange in his hand. Lu Lian and the other two already had experience, so he didn't ask too many questions.
Huang Guang was a little flattered and said, "That's clear. Brother Jing, are we going to the south? Like everyone else, are we going there to buy goods and sell them in the north?"
Perhaps because An Jingzhi's attitude was quite friendly, he became a little bolder.
In the past, the two were enemies, but for some reason, after going to the north with An Jingzhi, he felt scared when he looked at An Jingzhi.
"No. You'll know when you get there." An Jingzhi slowly peeled off the veins on the orange. He didn't like eating the veins on the orange.
The smells in the carriage were all kinds of mixed, and someone even brought a chicken up. An Jingzhi used the peeled orange peels as an air purifier and placed them next to the windowsill.
They were all tall and strong, so no one dared to cause trouble along the way.
The train stopped and started frequently and it took about 5 days to reach the south.
After getting off the train, they followed An Jingzhi to find a hotel to stay in.
The conditions in the south are good, and there are even places to take a shower in the hotel.
After taking a shower and washing away their fatigue, they changed into clean clothes and followed An Jingshang to wander the streets.
An Jingzhi exchanged a lot of change and bought a few packs of good cigarettes before he found out the whole story. It was not easy for people from the mainland to go to Hong Kong Island these days, and most people did it by smuggling. An Jingzhi could only go with the flow. He asked someone to use his connections to buy a few boat tickets, and three days later he took Lu Lian and four others to Hong Kong Island.
He actually sat on a small boat, avoided the large cruising ships, and successfully set foot on the land of Hong Kong Island.
"Boss, it's cheaper to pay for their boat ticket. Why don't we take their boat?"
Lu Lian and his companions were seasick all the way, but after walking a few steps, they felt their stomachs felt much better.
"Their ticket is cheap, but you'll have to pay for the rest." An Jingzhi said darkly, "By then, it's uncertain where you'll be sold to."
"What do you mean, boss? Are you saying they will sell us all out?" Huang Guang was extremely panicked.
"You're smart, otherwise why would so many people choose the more expensive seats?"
An Jingzhi looked at Lu Lian and the others and then realized that Huang Guang was indeed smarter than them.
"What? Aren't they trafficking in human beings?! They'll get shot." Lu Lian exclaimed.
"What kind of place is this? Do you think the police can handle it?" Huang Guang pointed to the bustling city in the distance.
Lu Lian and the others immediately shut up.
An Jingzhi took a few people to buy a card first, then walked to a public telephone booth nearby, dialed a reporting number, hung up the call, pulled out the card and threw it away.
"Boss, have you called the police?" Huang Guang and others were standing next to the phone booth, but An Jingzhi spoke in Cantonese and they couldn't understand him at all.
"Just consider it a good deed."
As they walked, several people said, "Boss, what are you mumbling about? How can you speak the language of the people here?" Lu Lian followed his footsteps.
"Won't you learn it if you listen more often? Didn't you learn it after staying in Guangdong Province for a few days?" An Jingzhi looked at them with confusion.
The four of them looked dazed. Could someone learn Cantonese in just a few days? Why did they sound so unconvinced? They'd been there for a few days, so how come they hadn't learned anything?
Even Huang Guang looked at An Jingzhi doubtfully, as if he was trying to determine whether the other party was deliberately joking with them.
An Jingzhi can speak Cantonese, but the original owner can't, so he had to create a character who is a language genius.
"Boss, why haven't you learned Russian after being in the north for so many days?" Lu Lian is a straightforward person and will ask whatever comes to mind.
"How do you know I haven't learned it?" An Jingzhi asked back.
