When the bus arrived at the station, Xu Qingqing, carrying a limp pickpocket, walked to the front door to get off. As she passed other people, she suddenly found herself alone. She paused, turned around, and saw them all huddled together at the back, trembling.
Xu Qingqing turned her gaze to Director Li, who was pretending to be asleep. Seeing his constantly twitching eyelids, she knew he must be awake. Although she didn't know when he woke up, he must have seen what she had just done, otherwise he wouldn't be pretending to be asleep now.
"Hey, Director Li, if you don't wake up soon, you'll miss your stop. Don't blame me then." She had given him all the necessary reminders; now it was up to him to decide. With that, she continued walking towards the train door.
Factory Director Li could no longer keep up the act. He covered his face, not daring to look at the people behind him, and followed Xu Qingqing out of the car. Even after getting out, he didn't dare to take his hands down, because Xu Qingqing grabbed the pickpocket by the collar, lifted his upper body while his lower body was still on the ground, and dragged him along in front of passersby.
Xu Qingqing went to a corner, looked around to make sure no one was there, then left the pitiful pickpocket behind and took all the money from his body.
Factory Manager Li: "..."
As expected of her!
"Given his current state, shouldn't we leave him some money for medical expenses?" Faced with the pickpocket's miserable state, he felt a pang of pity, not knowing how this person had offended the little madman.
Xu Qingqing immediately rolled her eyes: "Please, he's a pickpocket, you sage! You're being soft on him? He pulled out a knife and threatened me to give him money. Would anyone else have my strength? They would probably be scared and hand over the money immediately."
Then I realized that he might not have known the pickpocket's identity while he was sleeping, so I explained what had happened to him.
After hearing this, Director Li wanted to slap himself for his earlier act of kindness. It's good to be kind, but if you don't know who to help, it can turn into a bad thing, leaving you in a bad situation. He kicked the pickpocket on the ground in a fit of anger and said, "What can't you do at such a young age? Become a pickpocket. If you have hands and feet, find a proper job. It's better than this. You're such a waste of your tall stature."
"Alright, alright, he's already passed out, let's just kick him a couple of times."
Xu Qingqing stopped him. She had just remembered that this person was still poisoned by the poisonous plant, and no matter how they fought him, he only showed signs of poisoning. This was a real miscalculation. They could only wait until the poison was expelled tomorrow, and that would be when he would experience the aftereffects.
Afterwards, Xu Qingqing led Director Li into the Xiang Restaurant, where they enjoyed a delicious meal using the money paid by those people. Only then did she take the letter to the guesthouse, where she was assigned her room. Xu Qingqing fetched some water, washed herself briefly, and then slept soundly until dawn.
Factory Director Li had to go out on business, and arrangements were made yesterday. She can relax for the day, stroll around the capital, and enjoy the scenery.
After finishing the fried dough sticks, Xu Qingqing drank the entire bottle of fermented mung bean juice in one gulp. She never wanted to experience that sour and stinky smell again.

After a day of sightseeing, Xu Qingqing returned to the guesthouse. She saw a car parked at the entrance, glanced at it, and was about to go inside when a voice called out to her, "Wait a minute! Are you Comrade Xu Qingqing?"
Upon hearing her name, Xu Qingqing turned around in confusion: "I am, but who are you?"
The newcomer was dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, with slicked-back hair. His body seemed to have been specially trained, exuding composure and calmness whether he was standing or walking. He was alert to everything around him and would immediately take action if he sensed anything amiss.
"Hello, Comrade Xu. I am here on behalf of my young master to present you with this car and to convey my message that you must come to the Situ family as a guest to thank them for their previous rescue."
Xu Qingqing understood that the young master this person was referring to must be Situ Kong. She waved her hand and asked in confusion, "Let's not talk about that for now. How did you know that I am Xu Qingqing?"
She had never met the person who came before, and she was very curious about how he had found him.
"Young Master said that Comrade Xu is the most eye-catching person in a crowd, and you can tell at a glance that he is different from others."
Xu Qingqing: "..."
She couldn't see any difference between herself and the others. Weren't they all the same, with noses and eyes? Their features were all the same. What was different about them? Forget it, she stopped worrying about it. Following the direction the man was pointing, she soon saw a brand-new car in front of her.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. She moved closer to the car and gently stroked the smooth surface with her fingers. "That guy Situ Kong, did he specifically find out her preferences before giving her this Hongqi car? He did a great job. I'm giving him a thumbs up."
"Comrade Xu, the young master's message has been conveyed, so I will not disturb you any longer."
Weiwei and Xu Qingqing nodded, and the person who came to complete the task got into another car.
Xu Qingqing shifted her gaze from the car and looked at the car's rear end as it drove away into the distance. Young Master? These powerful families wouldn't keep that title forever, would they? At this time, only those families with rich heritage could be called Young Master. Anyone else would have been labeled as capitalist and sent for reform long ago.
Those people had considered this idea before, but in the eyes of powerful families, how could a mayfly possibly shake a towering tree?
Which of these large families, which have survived for thousands of years since ancient times, is not a formidable force? Otherwise, how could they have weathered the rise and fall of dynasties? They are not people that these petty people could possibly scheme against.
After admiring the car, Xu Qingqing got into the driver's seat and drove it around the city.
When Director Li returned, he happened to see her getting out of the car and asked in confusion, "Where did you get this car?"
Then, thinking about her personality, her eyes widened immediately: "You didn't steal it, did you?!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes at him: "What are you trying to steal? This is a thank-you gift from Situ Kong, it's from an legitimate source."
Factory Director Li scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I just blurted it out without thinking."
It's not that I was so impressed before that I blurted out the words without thinking. Besides, given her personality, she's capable of doing this. Give her enough reasons and she'll justify it. Last time, she stole those bad guys' cars.
It's such a pity about that car that sank into the river. Thinking about it, Director Li started to feel heartbroken again.
"By the way, you're coming with me to a place tomorrow. Remember not to oversleep, we need to leave early tomorrow."
Xu Qingqing nodded and hummed in agreement.
The next day, the two set off early for the event location.
