Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 230 Late at night, Zhu Wei comes to visit

After Xia Yingxue left, Xu Jichang went to Gu Zhijun's house to visit her and Xiao Kapok.

Little Kapok is growing very fast. While other children of the same age are still learning to talk, she can already call her mom and dad clearly.

"Be good, daddy brought you toffee."

Xu Jichang took out a few milk candies from his pocket, peeled off the sugar coating on one, and put it into the water glass in front of him, waiting for it to melt and give it to the little Kapok to drink.

The child is still too young, and feeding milk sugar directly may get stuck in the throat, so one extra step is required.

"She looks like you."

Gu Zhijun said to Xu Jichang while looking at her babbling daughter.

"No, the eyes are more like yours."

Xu Jichang shook his head and said, "The others are like me."

"Well, this kid is good-looking."

Gu Zhijun stirred the water cup with chopsticks and said, "Call me daddy."

Xu Jichang also cast his eyes on his daughter's pink and translucent face, and pressed her nose with his finger.

"dad……"

Little Kapok shouted obediently.

Xu Jichang was very happy to hear this.

"Be good, daddy will bring you some candy next time."

He held the little kapok in his arms for a while, then put it down and handed it to Gu Zhijun.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Jichang was feeding Feidian in the house, when Shunzi came to see him.

"How are things going?"

Xu Jichang turned around and asked Shunzi, who was wandering into the courtyard.

"It went very well. Several of Han Weimin's men are willing to help us collect the mountain goods."

Shunzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Currently..."

"Go in and have a drink of water before we talk."

Xu Jichang received the good news and immediately said, "No need to change shoes."

Entering the living room, Xu Jichang poured Shunzi a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.

Shunzi was obviously very thirsty, so she picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking tea, he wiped a handful of water droplets stuck to his stubble and continued to introduce the situation to Xu Jichang: "At present, Han Weimin is alone and can't do anything."

"Then does he have any intention of stopping?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"No, he is still collecting mountain goods. But one person can no longer collect much."

"One of his helpers knows the quality of mountain goods. Without this person, Han Weimin will have a huge headache when receiving the goods alone."

Shunzi introduced.

"This kid has a pretty strong head."

Xu Jichang smacked his lips and said meaningfully.

Shunzi understood that Xu Jichang had something to say, so he leaned closer to his ear.

Xu Jichang thought for a while and whispered a few words to him.

"As expected of Brother Chang, he can come up with such an idea."

After hearing Xu Jichang's words, Shunzi's eyes lit up and he immediately scratched the back of his head, "That's it... that's it..."

"What is it?"

Xu Jichang smiled slightly.

"It's just too damaging."

Shunzi chuckled and said, "But I'm not targeting you, Brother Chang, I mean..."

"Okay, no need to explain, it's just a loss. I have to let Han Weimin have a longer memory."

"Otherwise, he will still be evil."

Xu Jichang said calmly, "You remember to handle things more carefully."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you let that bitch have a good drink."

Shunzi assured.

After a good discussion, Xu Jichang asked Shunzi to stay for dinner and then stayed overnight.

At this time, Shunzi said that he had something to do at home, and Xu Jicheng sent him away without forcing him to stay.

Being able to resolve a serious business problem is one of the greatest joys in life.

Xu Jichang was so happy that he asked Lan Qimei to make him a supper at night, and drank another bottle of beer before falling asleep.

……

The next day, Xu Jichang was sitting in the office, and Fang Runsu handed him a maternity leave note.

Xu Jichang approved the leave note, but at the same time he did not forget to care: "Take good care of her."

"In two days, I will hire someone to take care of you."

Hire someone to take care of you?
Fang Runsu was moved after hearing this.

She really needs someone to take care of her right now.

only……

Is it appropriate for Xu Jichang to come forward to invite people?Wouldn't it be seen through immediately?

Xu Jichang was keenly aware of her concerns.

"Don't worry, I'll let someone else come forward to hire a nanny."

Xu Jichang lowered his voice and said, "You don't need to worry about this little thing."

After hearing this, Fang Runsu looked at Xu Jichang with moist eyes, not only grateful for his concern for her, but also moved by his carefulness and thoughtfulness.

"Okay, then I'll go back and raise the baby in peace."

She said to Xu Jichang, "I will find a way to tell you when I am about to give birth."

"I'll come see you two then."

Xu Jichang said to Fang Runsu.

After seeing Fang Runsu off, Xu Jichang returned to his seat, leaning against the back of his chair and staying alone in the huge office, feeling a little lonely.

Yu Yingzi went home, and there was no one else in the office.

It made him feel a bit idle.

Xu Jichang stood up and decided to take a walk in the logistics department.

Ding Xiawei was in the logistics department. If she spoke to her in the name of an old acquaintance, she would not arouse suspicion.

Xu Jichang put on his bearskin coat, stretched, got up from the chair and went out.

A biting north wind blew, and Xu Jichang felt a chill and shrank his neck inside his coat.

In a while, it will be the Gregorian New Year.

The weather has become visibly colder.The cold air squeezes out the last traces of moisture left in the soil, forming frost on the parched ground.

Xu Jichang was wearing big leather shoes and soon came to the logistics department.

At this time, he noticed that some staff in the logistics department had obvious fear in their eyes when they saw him.

Thinking about it, he personally sent Zhang Debao in.

It is normal for people in the logistics department to feel fear when they see him.

Ding Xiawei's office is on the upper floor, which is Zhang Debao's original office.

Xu Jichang went upstairs and knocked on the door. He found that the door was ajar, so he pushed it open and walked in.

"Hello, Comrade Xia Wei, I want to discuss something with you."

Xu Jichang quickly looked around the room and found that the furnishings in the room were much simpler than when Zhang Debao was at this time.

"Go ahead."

Ding Xiawei stood up and said, since the two parties had known each other for a long time, they were not very polite.

"It's about the construction of the dedicated freight line. The factory held a reception two days ago and invited the cadres and technicians above to have a meal."

"I was wondering if I could arrange some food, meat and vegetables later and treat the workers to a meal?"

Xu Jichang asked.

After listening to this, Ding Xiawei thought for a while, and a thoughtful look appeared on her beautiful and charming face.

Xu Jichang didn't push him, and just waited quietly for her answer.

"You make sense. The construction workers have merit and hard work. They should be given an improved meal as a token of gratitude from the factory."

About a minute later, Ding Xiawei agreed, "I will make a report to the minister later and ask for approval of some supplies."

"Okay, that's all I'm asking you for today, haha."

Xu Jichang stood up and said, but saw that Ding Xiawei did not leave.

Ding Xiawei knew that he had something to say, so she smiled slightly: "Is this really the reason?"

"You still understand me."

Xu Jichang relied on the fact that the door was closed and the sound insulation of this room was good. He smiled and sat down again and said, "I came here today because I want Sister Ding to do me a favor."

"What are you busy with? Work or personal life?"

Ding Xiawei asked seriously.

"It's a personal matter." Xu Jichang stared at Ding Xiawei and said, "I'm in the mountain goods business."

"Sister Ding, do you know?"

"I don't know...is the business in trouble?"

Ding Xiawei said with concern.

"It's not really a problem. I just want to expand my business and have encountered a bottleneck."

Xu Jichang spread his hands and said, "You know, personal business is not something that should be too high-profile after all."

"Yes. Do you want me to help you inquire about the market?"

Ding Xiawei said knowingly.

"That's what I mean, if it's convenient for you, Sister Ding."

"After all, you work in logistics and deal with relevant units all year round."

"After the business is completed, I will pay you the information fee."

Xu Jichang expressed to Ding Xiawei according to his business habit before time travel.

Ding Xiawei looked at him puzzled: "What is the information fee?"

"It was you who helped me find out the information. I have to thank you."

Xu Jichang explained, "According to the ratio of 100%. If I make a business of [-] yuan, I will give you two yuan..."

"puff."

Ding Xiawei interrupted him with a smile, "We are still talking about this."

"Don't see anyone outside."

"I'll just ask you. I won't charge you a penny."

"Brothers will settle accounts."

Xu Jichang shook his head, "I will ask you to help me find out more in the future."

"I can't always call you in vain."

Ding Xiawei once again shook her head helplessly and smiled: "You, you..."

"That's it, I'm leaving."

Xu Jichang said as he stood up and left Ding Xiawei's office.

In fact, Xu Jichang asked Ding Xiawei to help him inquire about business, which was also a temporary idea.

Xu Jichang had the idea of ​​​​expanding his business, but he had not thought of a way before.

And when he entered Ding Xiawei's office, his train of thought suddenly opened up, and he thought of asking the other party to help him inquire.

Ding Xiawei works in the logistics department of the factory and knows a lot of material companies that can help her connect with needs.

Besides her, is there a more suitable candidate?

Xu Jichang thought to himself while walking on the way back to the office.

……

In the afternoon, Xu Jichang received a notice that the factory's freight line had been repaired.

When get off work ends later, Director Gao will hold a completion ceremony on behalf of the factory, and all cadres and workers will participate.

call.

Finally a big thing was settled.

When Xu Jichang saw the notice, he felt relieved.

The construction of a dedicated freight line is the biggest thing he has participated in since joining the company.

It takes much more effort than catching moles or spies.

Seeing this notice today, Xu Jichang felt relaxed and at the same time felt a full sense of accomplishment in his heart.

However, in the most secret corner of Xu Jichang's heart, there was also a trace of reluctance.

The completion of the railway construction means that Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu will go back.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him in the future.

Of course, Su Jingshu is even more difficult to see.

This is really only seen once a year, and every time is precious.

I can only look forward to going to the capital later and meeting her from time to time.

In the afternoon, at the completion ceremony, there was a huge crowd of people standing there, unable to squeeze into the front row.

Fortunately, Xu Jichang was a department leader, and a security guard helped him clear the way in front, so he could reach the front row.

In front of me, I saw Director Gao speaking. Because the wind was so strong, Xu Jichang couldn't hear clearly.

Fortunately, Director Gao didn't say too much because of the cold weather. After a few words, he took the shovel from the worker next to him and symbolically dug the last shovel of soil for the project.

After the completion ceremony, Xu Jichang was about to disperse with the crowd, when Director Qian, or rather Factory Director Qian, found him.

"Jichang, are you ready to go home?"

Director Qian asked friendly.

"What's wrong, leader?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to ask how you and Comrade Xiaojing are getting on."

"We get along pretty well."

Xu Jichang smiled naturally.

The characteristics of interpersonal relationships these days are like this. Once you talk about someone, everyone in the whole unit knows that everyone around you will come to check on the progress and take this as a symbol of friendly relations with each other.

"Well, that's really good. Xiao Jing is a very good girl, you have to cherish her."

Director Qian said with a smile.

"Of course."

Xu Jichang nodded and left the crowd with him.

It was very cold. After Xu Jichang said goodbye to Director Qian, he quickly returned home on his bicycle and lit a fireplace.

The fire was very warm and comforting.

Xu Jichang heated up the fire for a while and felt a little drowsy.

It wasn't until Lan Qimei brought dinner that he was awakened by the sound.

"time for dinner."

Lan Qimei held the tray in her hand and said to him.

Xu Jichang stood up as if waking up from a dream and sat at the table with her.

"Did you see the completion ceremony tonight?"

Xu Jichang picked up a piece of dried tofu and asked her, "Our factory will be connected to the train in the future."

"Yeah, yeah, I've always heard you say that a train is coming."

"Can this train really go to the factory for repairs?"

Lan Qimei asked curiously.

"Of course."

Xu Jichang nodded and said, "With the train, our factory's efficiency will be many times better."

"Really? That would be really nice."

Lan Qimei became excited when he said this, "I also want to see the factory develop."

"Yeah, that's what everyone wants."

Xu Jichang said, finishing the meal with Lan Qimei.

In the autumn and winter in the Northeast, it gets dark early and people go to bed early.

Xu Jichang went to bed early, but couldn't fall asleep.

After all, he was still not used to the early bedtime schedule in this era.

And just as he was tossing and turning, someone knocked on the door from outside.

"Who?"

Xu Jichang stood up and said, guessing it was one of the girls in the courtyard.

"I."

It's Zhu Wei's voice.

Looking for me in the middle of the night, what's the urgent matter?

Xu Jichang thought to himself, walked outside and opened the door.

"What happened?"

Xu Jichang asked Zhu Wei behind the door and invited her into the house.

"Nothing, I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Zhu Wei's eyes flickered and he said, "There is a large art troupe in the capital recruiting people."

"My parents also want me to go back..."

"That's it."

Xu Jichang's heart sank after hearing this, but he still said calmly, "Let's go in and talk."

"Uh-huh……"

Zhu Wei followed him into the house and sat down in the living room.

Xu Jichang raised the fireplace, brought the two cushions to the front of the stove, and looked back at Zhu Wei: "Come, sit down."
