Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 234 God help me, take Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu home at the same time!
After Lan Qimei finished washing, Xu Jichang washed himself again.

When he returned to the bedroom and got into bed, Lan Qimei's passionate kiss was waiting for him.

In the dead of night, the two of them lingered until early morning before falling asleep.

When Xu Jichang woke up the next day, the breakfast cooked by Lan Qimei was already on the living room table, a bowl of refreshing and fragrant shredded chicken noodles.

Xu Jichang ate two large bowls before he wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped.

"Going to work."

He stood up from the chair and said, "Today's noodles are really delicious."

"It's delicious. I'm researching how to improve it."

Lan Qimei said happily, "I'll make this for breakfast tomorrow."

Xu Jichang nodded, turned around and left the house.

The weather is sunny today and the wind is not strong.

When Xu Jichang was riding his bicycle, he felt the warm sunshine on his body. He felt very comfortable, and his riding speed unconsciously slowed down.

On the way, he met factory director Gao who also rode to work.

"Go to work so early."

Director Gao said as he approached behind him.

"Good morning, Uncle Gao."

Xu Jichang hurriedly turned around to say hello, "I couldn't sleep anyway, so I came to work."

"Very good, get into work mode early."

Director Gao smiled slightly and said, "How is it? What are your recent work experiences?"

"In terms of my job, I think the most important thing is to make people feel like a spring breeze when dealing with all aspects."

"Because in the final analysis, distribution work is about dealing with people. As long as people feel good, things will go much smoother."

"Besides, there are..."

"Okay, four words like a spring breeze are enough."

Just when Xu Jichang was about to continue speaking, Director Gao interrupted him, "I think you are on the right track by going the distribution route."

"I'm afraid that one day, Dongfang Fertilizer Factory won't be able to keep you."

Um?What does Gao Qianjin mean by this?
Could it be that he saw something in me?

Xu Jichang felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but mutter.

"Don't be nervous. People go to higher places. When you can find a better way out one day, I will be happy for you."

Director Gao looked ahead with a smile on his face.

"I haven't thought about it that much yet."

Xu Jichang said cautiously, "I just want to do a good job at the job at hand."

"Well, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Director Gao said, "It's always right to do the job well."

……

Phew, Gao Qianjin is a good guy.

After arriving at the unit, parking the car, and parting ways with Director Gao, Xu Jichang sighed in his heart as he walked to the office.

He was sure that Director Gao had never discovered his business dealings.

Director Gao was able to see something in this situation, and he was definitely one of those who can see people more clearly.

Fortunately, I didn't play tricks on Director Gao in the past.If this was discovered, it would be impossible to be friends at all.

Entering the office, Xu Jichang saw Yu Yingzi busy mopping the floor and making a steaming cup of tea on his desk.

"It's clean enough."

Xu Jichang strode to the seat, looked at Yu Yingzi and said, "No need to delay."

"Isn't this the pursuit of excellence in work?"

Yu Yingzi said seriously without raising her head.

"Don't believe this nonsense. You have to mop the floor for the best, and you can't get anything out of it."

Xu Jichang said disapprovingly, "Good steel is used on the blade. Human energy is limited. If you spend it on such small things, you won't have the energy to do big things."

"Ugh?"

When Xu Jichang said this, Yu Yingzi was a little doubtful and stopped mopping the floor, "This is not what my parents and books told me since I was a child."

"Then do you believe me or what you saw in the past?"

Xu Jichang asked seriously.

Yu Yingzi fell silent.

After a long while, she nodded hesitantly: "It seems...what you said makes more sense."

"now it's right."

Xu Jichang said, "Return the mop quickly."

"Finish the formal work at hand as soon as possible, and then learn something on your own after finishing it."

"Then what should we learn?"

Yu Yingzi asked.

"Learn a foreign language. Learning a foreign language well will definitely be helpful in the future."

Xu Jichang said without hesitation, "I used to take training classes and took a lot of notes on foreign languages, and even excerpted the teaching materials in private."

"I'll bring it to you in the afternoon. You'll learn from it then. Just don't let outsiders know."

"Hmm...I will study hard."

Yu Yingzi nodded convincingly, no longer having the initial hesitation.

Because after some thinking, she felt that what Xu Jichang said did make more sense.

If you work hard for a lifetime, even if you delay until you reach perfection, what will you achieve?
In the final analysis, people can only find a way out by opening up to the outside world.

With the feeling of enlightenment, Yu Yingzi finished the work for the next five days in just one morning, and in the afternoon she studied the foreign language materials given by Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang himself did not stay in the office, but went with the leaders in the factory to see off Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu.

The dedicated freight line has been completed long ago, and the final maintenance technical training work has also been completed.

Neither Xia Yingxue nor Zhou Qingyu had any reason to stay here.

With the previous reception, today's farewell was relatively simple.

Everyone just exchanged a few words before sending Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu into the car.

At the farewell scene, Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu both had a thousand words to say to Xu Jichang, but they just couldn't speak in front of others.

The words were held in their hearts, and the two of them felt depressed.

Xu Jichang, on the other hand, is much more open-minded, unlike them who occasionally have a hint of resentment in their eyes.

This may be because... there are too many women around him.

Although there are advantages to being nostalgic for Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu, they are not so inseparable.

I really thought about it. I would look behind me and go to the provincial capital to find them.

With such a mood, Xu Jichang put them on the bus together with other staff of the design institute, and helped them carry a lot of luggage in the process.

After seeing off the people, the sun was starting to set in the west. Xu Jichang planned to go to the office to sit for a while and then go back.

In the office, Yu Yingzi was concentrating on learning foreign languages. She didn't even notice Xu Jichang came in.

Xu Jichang chose not to disturb her and sat down to read the newspaper.

As he watched, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside.

"Leader, I want to tell you something."

The person who came was a secretary from the factory office. He looked nervous when he spoke, as if something had happened, "The bus taking the summer workers to work stalled and was stuck on the road and couldn't walk."

"The car broke down? I don't know how to repair it."

Xu Jichang said in surprise.

"I'm not asking you to repair the car. The repairman arrived early and said it won't be repairable for a while."

The secretary smiled bitterly and said, "What the factory wants now is to send someone over to pick them up."

"The place where the car is lying is still a long way from the provincial capital. Leave them there to avoid accidents due to the cold."

Uh, pick someone up?Logically speaking, shouldn't the Railway Design Institute be responsible for this?Xu Jichang thought.

But this is not the time to shirk. On the one hand, the factory has assigned a task, and on the other hand, there are two of his women in the car.

"Okay, I was chosen to pick them up, right?"

Xu Jichang stood up and prepared to leave with his secretary.

"That's right. The factory has dispatched a truck, and you are responsible for following it."

The secretary said with a smile on his face.

Xu Jichang followed him and walked to the workshop together, and got into a large truck usually used to transport goods.

According to the regulations of later generations, this kind of large truck cannot carry people on the truck bed.

It's just that the transportation capacity is tight these days, and the incident happened suddenly today, so no one cares about it.

"You don't have to go, I can go alone."

Seeing the big truck, Xu Jichang said to his secretary.

The secretary looked embarrassed: "That's not good...the factory director asked me to come with him..."

"Director? Director Gao, right? When he asks, just say I told you not to go."

Xu Jichang patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid."

"Then...thank you."

The secretary immediately said happily as if he had been granted amnesty.

It's freezing cold and it's almost time to get off work. Who is willing to go all the way to pick someone up?

Xu Jichang's arrangement really touched his heart.

"You're welcome."

Xu Jichang waved goodbye to his secretary, turned around and boarded the cockpit.

"Let's go."

Xu Jichang said to the driver.

Soon, the truck started and made a rumble as it drove out of the Oriental Fertilizer Factory and headed along the road towards the provincial capital.

After leaving the small county town, the road quickly became bumpy.

Fortunately, Xu Jichang has already adapted to the road conditions of this era and does not feel much discomfort.

After driving for several ten minutes, a passenger bus appeared in Xu Jichang's field of vision through the window.

There was a circle of people surrounding the bus. Some were bending down to check the situation, some were holding their chests with impatient expressions on their faces, and most of them were stamping their feet and breathing in to keep warm.

Xu Jichang could spot Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu from the crowd at a glance.

I saw Xia Yingxue trying to calm the crowd and analyzing the possible causes of the breakdown with the driver.

Zhou Qingyu looked around with a panic look on his face.

Seeing Xu Jichang coming in a big truck, she and the others rushed over as if they had met a savior.

When the truck stopped, Xu Jichang jumped out of the truck and patted the shoulder of a railway worker who came up to him: "Don't panic, I'm here to pick you up on behalf of the fertilizer factory."

"No matter whether the car can be repaired or not, you go back to the factory and spend the night tonight."

Upon hearing Xu Jichang's words, the crowd immediately burst into cheers and applause.

"Everyone, stop wasting your time and get in the car!"

Xu Jichang shouted to the crowd.

"Thank you, leader, for caring so much about everyone."

"Thanks to you, otherwise everyone would have been frozen."

Amidst the outpouring of thanks, the railway workers rushed to the back of the truck and climbed onto the truck body one by one using their hands and feet.

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu finally came to him.

"Thank you for helping me again."

Xia Yingxue restrained all her emotions and said to Xu Jichang with a look of autumn in her eyes, her eyes falling on his chest in embarrassment.

Zhou Qingyu was so excited that she almost started crying: "Woooo... I really thought I was going to spend the night in this wilderness just now."

"Get in the car quickly, there's still room in the cab."

Xu Jichang said to his two women.

This kind of long-distance truck has a bed at the back for the driver to rest when he is tired. It happened to be a ride for Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu today.

Xu Jichang didn't want his woman to be crowded noisily with so many people on the cargo rack.

"Come up Qingyu."

Xia Yingxue sensed Xu Jichang's care and gave him a grateful look, then looked at Zhou Qingyu and said.

After the two girls entered the cab and sat down, Xu Jichang also got in the car.

The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove a car of people back to the county town and back to the Oriental Fertilizer Factory.

Most people stayed in the guest house just like before they left.

Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu were led by Xu Jichang out of the factory when no one was prepared.

Speaking of which, it was actually Xu Jichang who took them away while they were still confused.

Anyway, the railway employees are in a state of chaos now, immersed in the joy of being saved, and no one pays attention to their movements.

Even Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu took a long time to react.

"You are..."

Xia Yingxue looked at the road ahead and looked at Xu Jichang with doubtful eyes.

"Go back to my house and the conditions are much better than in the factory."

Xu Jichang said with a smile, "There were some mountain products left a few days ago."

"Let's eat together later."

This... you know that this kid's purpose is not pure.

Xia Yingxue thought with a wry smile on her face.

Zhou Qingyu looked innocent in comparison: "What kind of wild beasts are there?"

"Can you tell me in advance?"

"Porcini, pheasant, hare, and roe deer meat."

Xu Jichang said with a smile, "When I purchased mountain goods a few days ago, I specially left some unsold ones."

"Just to entertain you two."

Specifically to entertain them both?Coax ghosts.

After hearing this, Xia Yingxue only sneered in her heart: No matter how clever Xu Jichang was, could it be that the car they were riding in broke down today and they had to return to the county?

Zhou Qingyu didn't realize there was any deceit in it, and kept thanking him, saying that Xu Jichang was so warm.

Alas...this girl.

If Xu Jichang really wants to sell her one day, I'm afraid she will still be helping count the money.

When Lan Qimei arrived at home, she was a little surprised when she saw Xia Yingxue and Zhou Qingyu, but she quickly returned to normal: "Are you two coming to have dinner?"

"I'll cook more dishes."

"The car they were riding in broke down and they wanted to spend the night at my house."

Xu Jichang said, leading the two of them into the courtyard.

Xia Yingxue wanted to argue that it was obviously him who led the two of them here, not that they wanted to come here on their own.

But in the end, she thought about it and let it go.

Eat people with short mouths, and take people softly.

Don't mention anything else.Since arriving in the county seat, the two of them had eaten countless meals from Xu Jichang.

So it’s better not to argue with him, lest you appear to be fussy.

In the kitchen, Lan Qimei was busy and quickly heated up all the dishes that had been prepared for Xu Jichang. According to Xu Jichang's instructions, she made roasted roe deer meat with porcini mushrooms and a pheasant soup.

A table of sumptuous dishes was served.

Xu Jichang, Lan Qimei and Zhou Qingyu all ate very happily, but Xia Yingxue realized something, and there was always something strange in her eyebrows.
