"Okay, stop talking about these nice things. You can go back first. I have something else to do." Section Chief Li said with a smile.
Jian Shu nodded, "Okay, Li Ke, I'll be leaving first, you go ahead and get busy."
After turning around, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know the departure time yet, so he quickly turned back and asked, "By the way, Li Ke, when are we leaving? I can prepare in advance."
"Well, the specific date hasn't been decided yet. It depends on when the purchasing department can coordinate. But we'll set off within a week or so. I'll notify you once the time is confirmed." Section Chief Li replied.
Jian Shu nodded, "Okay, Li Ke, I'll go in first."
"Go." Section Chief Li nodded and stood there watching Jian Shu leave.
Then he turned and walked towards the purchasing department.
It was his child's first time traveling so far, so he couldn't let him down. He still had to talk to the people traveling with him and ask them to take extra care of him. And for this trip, he decided to book a hard sleeper.
After returning to the office, Jianshu looked at the mess on his desk and started to clean it up. He had to leave in two days, so he had to keep his desk tidy.
At this time, Liu Li came over and said, "Shushu, how is it? When are you leaving?"
Jian Shu answered while tidying up the documents on his desk, "It hasn't been confirmed yet, but Li Ke said it will be around this week. He'll let me know when the time is confirmed."
"Oh, I thought it would only be these two days." Liu Li said in surprise.
Jian Shu nodded and said, "I thought we had to leave right away. But it's better to leave later. I can prepare myself. This is my first time traveling far away, so it's better to have some time to prepare than to rush."
"It's better to prepare everything here. It's different when you're away from home, so it's better to prepare everything. Especially money and coupons. By the way, do you have national food coupons? If not, I have some here. You can use them first." Liu Li agreed.
Seeing that she also mentioned the matter of national food coupons, Jian Shu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile: "I have it, sister, don't worry, if you really need it, I won't be polite to you."
Knowing that Jian Shu wasn't the type to be pretentious and polite, Liu Li felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Okay, if you need anything, just tell me. You're welcome."
"You should be taking the train this time. Let me tell you, you have to pay extra attention to safety when taking the train. There are a lot of people on the train, and there are correspondingly a lot of thieves. Don't sleep too deeply at night, otherwise when you wake up, all your things will be gone. By the way, did Li Ke tell you how many people are going together this time?" Sister Liu began to teach Jianshu about her experience of taking the train.
"Li Ke said there are three comrades in the purchasing department, and there are four people in total including me." Jian Shu recalled and said.
Sister Liu nodded. "That's not bad. There are four of you in total. You can split up to keep watch at night. Each of you can keep watch for a while and get more sleep. It's much better than going out alone. Those who take the train alone, without anyone to take turns keeping watch, will have to keep watch all night by themselves. That's not a good feeling, tsk tsk..."
"Sister, is it so serious? Can't even sleep?" Jianshu asked curiously.
In her previous life, she often traveled to various places, but sometimes she traveled by car, and other times she took the high-speed train, which basically took several hours, and she never spent the night on the train.
As for the train, she had only taken it twice, but once was when she was very young with her mother. After getting on the train, she did whatever she wanted, and when it was time to sleep, she just fell asleep.
Another time was when I went on a graduation trip with my roommates after entering college. At that time, they felt that they had all graduated and were embarrassed to ask their parents for money, so they used the small savings they had saved.
Since I wanted to visit a lot of places and needed to be thrifty with my money, I didn't buy a high-speed rail ticket when I bought it. Instead, I opted for the cheapest train ticket, a hard seat. I wanted to save the money and use it elsewhere.
Although Jianshu had already achieved some success in writing novels at that time, with a considerable amount of royalties every month and money left by her parents, she did not try to do anything special and just followed the pace of her roommate.
Of course, they eventually regretted this decision. The noisy carriage, the hard seats, and the cramped space where they couldn't even stretch their legs made them extremely uncomfortable.
After all, before that, none of them had any experience traveling long distances by hard seat on a train. Oh, childhood experience doesn't count. Everyone knows that children are the kind of people who love to be around and can thrive anywhere.
That night on the train, Jianshu and the others didn't get much rest at all. Of course, it wasn't because they were worried about thieves; their luggage was shoved under the seats the moment they boarded, and they paid no attention to it. Protecting against thieves? That didn't exist.
The reason for this is that the hard seats are so "hard" that it's impossible to sleep well while sitting. When I finally do fall asleep, my back and neck ache after a while. Before I even got off the train, several of us tacitly changed our hard seat train tickets for the rest of the journey to high-speed rail tickets.
As for the higher price? It's expensive, so be it. It turns out there are some things you can't save on.
Thinking of this, Jian Shu suddenly asked hurriedly: "By the way, sister, what kind of tickets do we buy for the train on business trips?"
"Well, it seems that sometimes it's a seat ticket, and sometimes it's a hard sleeper ticket. I'm not sure what kind of ticket you have this time." Sister Liu recalled and answered.
Hearing this, Jianshu felt a little worried and said with a bitter look on her face: "Then what is the situation with a seat ticket and what is the situation with a hard sleeper." Thinking of the pain that the hard seat brought her, she felt terrible.
"Then I'm not sure. If you want to know, you can ask Li Ke. He should know." Sister Liu shook her head and said apologetically.
"Okay." Jian Shu said weakly.
Oh, heaven and earth, she didn't want to sit on a hard seat. Hard seats in later generations were so uncomfortable, wouldn't they be even more uncomfortable in this era?
God, please bless her! This time she has to get a sleeper berth. Hard or soft sleeper, she's not picky. She's willing to trade five pounds of fat for the chance to get one.
Seeing her like this, Sister Liu smiled helplessly, poked her forehead and said, "Okay, stop being like this. Weren't you so excited and eager to go just now? What? Don't you want to go? How about I talk to Li Ke and we draw lots again to select the people?"
"No need, I'll go." Jianshu suddenly sat up in shock from his dying illness and became full of energy all of a sudden.
