It was a rare opportunity to travel far away. She had never seen Shanghai in the 1970s, and she didn't want to miss it. It was just a hard seat, wasn't it? She could just skip the sleeper; she was still young and could stay up late. Besides, wasn't there a 50% chance it would be a sleeper? She couldn't believe she was so unlucky that she wouldn't get the choice even with a 50% chance.
Jane·Traveler·There is Space·Rich Generation·Book: I am the chosen one.
Liu Li was instantly amused by her and burst out laughing. There were also a few almost inaudible laughs around. It was obvious that everyone was listening with their ears perked up.
Jianshu then realized that she was being teased, and she had foolishly fallen into the trap. Looking at Liu Li's smiling eyes and seeing her colleagues around her lowering their heads and shaking shoulders, she instantly felt ashamed.
No, if this goes on, she'll want to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
Jianshu thought for a moment and changed the subject, "Sister, tell me, are there so many thieves on the train? They can't even sleep?"
Perhaps she didn't see her intention or what, but Liu Li cooperated and changed the subject. "Of course, there are so many people on the train, and you have no idea where those people come from. Plus, there are so many stations along the way, with people getting on and off. If you lose something, you won't know where to start looking. And by the time you realize it, the thief might have already gotten off the train. So if you lose something, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck."
"Is that so? Then I really have to be careful then." Jian Shu touched his chin thoughtfully.
Well, there were no surveillance cameras on trains these days, so it was hard to find lost items. It looked like she'd have to put all her important belongings in a storage space and just bring a couple of pieces of clothing to cover them up.
"But you don't have to worry too much. You won't be alone then, and you'll be able to rest if you take turns keeping watch. It's not like me when I took the train alone. I didn't dare close my eyes all night long, so I just forced myself to stay awake. When I couldn't open my eyes, I had to hold all my luggage tightly in my arms, and I would wake up at the slightest breeze. After sitting on the train for a few days, I looked so haggard, as if I had aged several years." Liu Li said with emotion.
That was because they were young back then. Now, she couldn't stand him going without sleep for a few days.
"Sister, did you go out alone back then? Where did you go?" Jian Shu was curious when he heard Liu Li talking about the past and asked.
When this was mentioned, Liu Li fell silent, her eyes were dim and her gaze was wandering, as if she had traveled through the long river of time and returned to the green years of the past.
"Back then, I went to many places, including Nan Province, Hu Province, Shanghai... I have been to many places in the motherland. But those are all things of the past, let's not mention them." Liu Li waved her hand and said in a somewhat lonely tone.
It seems that Sister Liu is also a person with a story. Jian Shu sighed silently in his heart.
But she didn't ask too much. Everyone has his or her own past. Since it's all in the past, why bother to pursue it?
"Oh, by the way, Shushu, when you go out this time, you must keep the letter of introduction safe. It doesn't matter if other things are lost, but it will be troublesome if this is lost." Liu Li reminded.
When you are away from home, a letter of introduction is of utmost importance. Without one, you will not be able to take a single step and may be easily mistaken for a profiteer.
Jianshu nodded, she knew very well the importance of a letter of introduction.
"As for the banknotes, put them separately. Sew some directly into the clothes with needle and thread, put some in the soles of shoes, and some in luggage bags, sleeves... hide them separately. This way, it doesn't matter if one is lost." Liu Li taught Jianshu the experience of hiding money, and Jianshu was shocked when he heard it.
Wow, there is no place that cannot be hidden, only places you can't imagine. You can hide anywhere.
Are men who often travel by train on business particularly good at hiding their secret money? Jianshu came up with this idea.
But she doesn't need it, because there is no place as safe as space.
But she still thanked Liu Li for her kindness. "Thank you, sister. Can you tell me more about what I need to bring on this long trip? I have no experience at all. I don't want to get on the bus and realize I didn't bring this or that."
"Okay, then I'll tell you something. You won't be away for long this time, so you don't need to bring too many things. It's better to bring lighter things, otherwise you won't be able to carry them." Liu Li sat up straight and began to tell Jianshu about all the things they needed to bring.
Jianshu listened very carefully. Although she had a space, she couldn't take everything from it. She still had to have something visible. And what Liu Li said was all based on her experience of riding the train.
In this way, Liu Li spoke slowly, Jianshu listened carefully, and colleagues around her added a few words from time to time. For a while, the atmosphere was very harmonious.
I didn't even notice when Section Chief Li came back.
After finishing the discussion, everyone quieted down and realized that Section Chief Li had quietly returned to the office.
But no one paid any attention. If Section Chief Li was angry, he would have spoken up long ago. Since he didn't say anything, it meant he didn't care.
Section Chief Li is the kind of leader that many of his subordinates like. If there is something wrong, he will point it out directly instead of keeping it in secret and bringing up old issues with you out of the blue.
Jian Shu carefully took note of the experiences shared by his colleagues and then said, "If anyone wants to bring anything to Shanghai this time, please tell me. I'll make a list and buy it for you."
Anyway, she has the space, can pretend, and won't be tired. Everyone has been nice to her in the past two years, and she also wants to return the favor.
But unexpectedly, everyone just smiled and shook their heads, saying, "Xiao Jian, we appreciate your kindness, but there's no need to bring anything. Our company has everything, so we don't have anything to bring. Just go shopping and buy something you like."
Jian Shu was stunned for a moment. She was going to Shanghai. Although it hadn't yet become the international metropolis it would become in the future, it was still one of the largest cities in China. Was there nothing she wanted? Or did they just not want to bother her?
Thinking of this, Jian Shu felt a little unwilling, and looked at Liu Li and asked, "Sister, don't you want anything at all? That's Shanghai, there are many famous things there."
Liu Li shook her head and said with a smile, "We are still in Beijing. How can there be a lack of famous things here? Okay, we are not being polite. We really don't need anything, so don't bother."
"Okay." Jianshu said somewhat dejectedly.
Why are her colleagues so different? They're always hounded to bring things, and they have to bring them. But hers? Even if she hounds them to bring them things, they don't need them.
She really had nowhere to put her enthusiasm!
