Chapter 182 Find a way to get on the bus early
On the first day in Nancheng, several people facilitated a major event that spanned the country.
In the next few days, they visited the more secretive trading markets in Gangcheng and Nancheng. Zhou Ruoyu witnessed with her own eyes the cruel reality that people struggling at the bottom of society in this era are willing to sacrifice their lives for money.
"That's smuggling, and I don't want to take any risks."
Zhou Ruoyu directly rejected the method of obtaining higher profits. "The procurement channels can be illegal, but they cannot be illegal. I don't know if Director Lin has any solution for this."
Lin Sheng had to admire Zhou Ruoyu's vision even more. If he wanted to cooperate, he had to show his attitude.
So he patted his chest and said, "I'll figure it out and make sure all the procedures are in compliance with the law."
After agreeing on the supply and channels, the rest will require operations from Luancheng.
At this time, Xiao Li fell ill due to acclimatization problems. He had diarrhea and vomiting for a whole day and night, so Zhou Ruoyu had to take care of him.
The next day, she suggested, somewhat listlessly, "Uncle Zhang, why don't we go back early? Firstly, Xiao Li won't be able to adapt, and secondly, we need to build a full-scale company as soon as possible."
"Okay, then we'll go back tomorrow."
Previously, Zhou Ruoyu and Gao Weiguo agreed to buy train tickets for the 10th, but now because Xiao Li suddenly fell ill, the train ticket was moved forward a day.
Gao Weiguo and Xiao Jiang didn't say where they were going when they left, so she could only leave a note for them and entrust it to the waiter at the guesthouse.
Director Lin's secretary, who had helped them buy the tickets, walked in and said, "Boss Lin, the train back to Beijing is no longer selling tickets."
"No tickets? There aren't many people taking the train in this season, so why not sell tickets?" Lin Sheng looked displeased.
The secretary clenched his fists, glanced at the Jinxing Hotel on the other side, and pursed his lips. "Thanks to Expert Chen, they've booked two carriages for tomorrow's train to Beijing. Tickets are extremely tight!"
Lin Sheng has always been upset about the fact that all the chefs from all the restaurants were asked to serve this mysterious boss on the first night, and now he has even gone so far as to charter a train for the trip.
"No, they have a patient here who is suffering from acclimatization. If he stays in South City for one more day, he will feel uncomfortable for one more day. This disease can be serious or minor. If it is serious, his life may be in danger!"
Lin Sheng walked back and forth in the lobby of the guesthouse with his hands behind his back.
Zhou Ruoyu pursed her lips and said, "Director Lin, don't make it difficult. We'll take Xiao Li to the hospital for an IV drip now. It's okay for us to buy tickets for the day after tomorrow."
Director Zhang sat beside Xiao Li, patting him on the back with a look of sorrow on his face. "It would be best if she could leave tomorrow. This child has been weak since she was young, and my eldest sister died young. If anything happens to her, how can I explain this to my deceased eldest sister?"
Little Li, with a pale face, was barely breathing, pouting and crying aggrievedly: "Uncle, I feel so bad..."
"Good boy, uncle will find a way, don't worry, don't worry..."
Lin Sheng's face turned pale. "The train runs every two days. If I can't leave tomorrow, I'll definitely not be able to leave the day after tomorrow. I'll be delayed for another day. Oh!"
Just when everyone was getting anxious, there was a crisp sound of leather shoes walking on the floor at the door, coming towards them.
Zhou Ruoyu looked up and saw that it was Gu Changhong!
Just as she was about to stand up, Li Ming stopped her and walked towards Gu Changhong: "Comrade Gu, why are you here?"
Gu Changhong maintained a modest smile on his face. "I'm going back to the capital tomorrow, so I came here to say goodbye to Comrade Zhou Ruoyu in advance."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned that he was going back to the capital. This mention of him brought back Xiao Li's sad memories, and her tears began to fall as she sobbed non-stop.
Gu Changhong looked around and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he asked, "...you guys, what's going on?"
Director Zhang said angrily, "Comrade Gu is returning to Beijing with the expert, right? You're showing off so much that you've booked two entire carriages and won't allow any tickets to be sold. After all, the people are still the people."
Feeling that he was being taken out on, Gu Changhong was confused. Li Ming tried to smooth things over: "Comrade Gu, don't mind..."
He briefly told him the whole story, and then said with a smile, "You will be back tomorrow, so I wish you a safe journey in advance."
Gu Changhong's eyes fell on Zhou Ruoyu, and he suddenly said, "Xiaoyu, if you come back tomorrow, I can find a way to get you on the bus!"
Zhou Ruoyu then came over and looked at him quietly: "What do you have in mind?"
"I'm in charge of reception at the Ministry of Industry. It's normal for me to bring service personnel on board. You can buy your tickets after we get on the train. Just stay out of these two carriages and it'll be fine."
"Thank you so much, Comrade Gu."
Director Zhang hurried over, shook his hand, and kept shaking it, with an expression on his face that showed that he had connections in the court and could get things done easily.
Zhou Ruoyu still didn't want to do him a favor, so she hesitated and asked, "If that's the case, does that count as a violation?"
Gu Changhong's eyes flickered behind his glasses and he shook his head: "Just get on the bus on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow. I'll wait for you."
"Okay, okay, thank you so much! See you later!" Director Chen was afraid that he would change his mind and that if something unexpected happened again, he would not be able to leave.
Little Li, whose face was pale, finally smiled sweetly, clasped his hands together, and said very respectfully: "Comrade Gu is really a good man. May good people live a peaceful life."
Seeing the old man and the young boy in this state, Zhou Ruoyu didn't know what to say. It was best if they could get on the car as they wished. Moreover, she felt that with a big shot like Expert Chen in the car, the safety issue they had been worried about would most likely not be a problem.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Zhou Ruoyu helped the weak Xiao Li out of the room. Director Zhang and Li Ming were already waiting at the door.
Director Zhang took Xiao Li, and Li Ming took the luggage bag from Zhou Ruoyu. After they left the hall, Lin Sheng arranged a car to take them to the train station.
As if by tacit agreement, no one mentioned cooperation when they said goodbye, but said goodbye reluctantly like friends.
Gu Changhong kept his word. When the train arrived at the station, he was already waiting at the door of the carriage other than the two special carriages. He waved to Zhou Ruoyu with a cheerful face, "This way!"
He was wearing a suit, his hair was obviously combed carefully, and he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which made him look even more elegant.
Gu Changhong stood straight and looked in the direction of Zhou Ruoyu.
Seeing this, Li Ming smiled slyly.
While walking slowly, he lowered his voice and said, "Hey, have you ever seen a peacock spreading its tail feathers? I look at this guy now, and no matter how I look at him, he looks like a male peacock spreading its tail feathers!"
Zhou Ruoyu immediately understood what Li Ming meant.
She frowned slightly and glared at Li Ming fiercely. She reached out and gently supported Xiao Li beside her, then walked straight past Li Ming without hesitation and strode towards where Gu Changhong was.
