Chapter 117: 117 go home

Jiang Xinyu jogged along behind Xingtian, as he walked too fast. They entered the same office.

"Phone number!"

Jiang Xinyu was stunned, blankly staring at Xingtian, "Comrade, I don’t have Director Wei’s phone number, and I don’t know where he is.

Even Mr. Qian is abroad and can’t be reached."

Xingtian saw the pitiful look on the young girl, which softened his heart.

He picked up the phone and asked for Wei Kaiyun’s number.

After dialing again, the call rang for a long time before someone on the night shift answered, "I’m looking for Wei Kaiyun."

"Wait a moment, I’ll go find Director Wei, call back in five minutes."

Xingtian hung up the phone, checked the time, and sat down heavily.

Jiang Xinyu stood at the side like a bullied maid. Five minutes later, Xingtian dialed the phone again.

"Wei Kaiyun?"

"Yes, it’s me."

"Hold on. Come over and confirm yourself, don’t say you’re not Wei Kaiyun."

"Hello!"

"Xinyu?"

"Yeah, now that it’s you, I’m relieved." Her voice nearly broke into tears.

Xingtian glanced at the red-eyed girl and resignedly took the phone, "Wei Kaiyun, it’s Xingtian."

"I know."

"I’m here to receive the cargo, your secretary insists you confirm, so tell her now."

Wei Kaiyun on the other end of the phone felt both amused and frustrated.

Jiang Xinyu took over the phone, "Xinyu, you can hand it over to him, your mission is complete."

"Alright."

"I’ll be waiting for you at the Provincial Textile Factory."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t respond to him, she just hung up the phone.

She bowed toward Xingtian, "Thank you, Comrade."

Xingtian gave Jiang Xinyu a deep look, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Jiang Xinyu hurriedly chased out; she needed to inform Sun Baosheng and Lv Beiguang.

Once outside, she noticed the remaining four wagons had already been unloaded.

The two of them were watching from the side.

"Jiang Xinyu, has the handover happened?"

"Yeah, it’s not our business anymore."

Jiang Xinyu didn’t collapse onto a bench at the platform until they left.

Her heart was pounding. If it happened again, she might just age prematurely.

"Jiang Xinyu, there’s a room arranged for us here, go and sleep." Sun Baosheng, seeing how exhausted the young girl was, who was about the same age as his daughter, felt rather sympathetic.

"Director Sun, I really need to rest, I’m not feeling well."

"Go on, a good sleep will do you good."

Jiang Xinyu staggered into the room Sun Baosheng pointed out.

She collapsed on the bed and slept, her cleanliness obsession forgotten.

Meanwhile, Xingtian on the train was teased by his subordinates.

"Boss, why are you so agreeable today?

But that little girl was quite brave."

Xingtian glared at them, saying nothing, but wondered why he had softened. Was it because she was crying yet determined to follow him?

Wei Kaiyun hung up the phone feeling deeply distressed, he’d never seen this girl less optimistic before, yet she called him crying this time, wishing he were there with her.

Back in the dormitory, unable to sleep, it seemed the leaders valued this cargo greatly, sending Xingtian.

But Xingtian was notoriously troublesome, so how did he agree to make the call?

Jiang Xinyu slept until six in the morning, still feeling dizzy, but she got up anyway, as Director Sun and Lv Beiguang didn’t sleep all night. After washing up, she went to find them.

"Director Sun, Secretary Lv, are you going to rest?"

"Beiguang, go rest since you need to be on night duty, I’m going to contact the timber."

Lv Beiguang didn’t refuse, his eyes were too tired to stay open.

Jiang Xinyu sat on the platform’s long bench, watching the four wagons, which were many people’s hopes, ensuring there was no mistake.

It wasn’t until noon that Sun Baosheng returned.

"Xinyu, I’ve arranged it, the wood will be delivered this afternoon."

"Great, it’s much safer for the journey now.

Director Sun, you should eat and rest, I’ll keep watch here."

"Alright, I’ll sleep, call me when they arrive."

"Okay, got it."

In the afternoon, four trucks arrived, filled with pine wood.

The station had cranes, and Sun Baosheng directed as one truck’s load was placed on each wagon. Just enough to cover, making it impossible for a grown man to move it.

The three of them could relax now; while two slept, Jiang Xinyu felt exhausted but couldn’t sleep, worried about the eighty tons of cotton.

Qian Jun ran into trouble, ultimately spending ten thousand yuan to get the fifty wagons through.

He also felt tense; the situation was frightening.

By the late night when they reached the station, Jiang Xinyu hadn’t slept well. Hearing the train noises, she jumped off the bed and ran outside.

Seeing Jiang Xinyu rushing out, Qian Jun felt relieved.

"Don’t worry, it’s alright, we reached safely."

This was when Sun Baosheng and Lv Beiguang also came out, looked at Qian Jun, and relaxed.

"Director Sun, let’s head out now."

Then the staff attached the four wagons to the cotton at the back.

"This method is good, even if someone robs the train, the loss won’t be too big."

"Secretary Jiang came up with this idea."

Qian Jun glanced at Jiang Xinyu, noticing something odd about her.

"Secretary Jiang, what’s wrong?"

"I’m dizzy, it’s okay, I’ll sleep once I’m on the train."

Because it was night, Qian Jun couldn’t see Jiang Xinyu clearly, so he just listened to her.

Jiang Xinyu got a room to herself this time, forcing herself through her discomfort to wash.

In the morning, all three woke up, not seeing Jiang Xinyu come out, assuming she was sleeping in, not paying attention until nine o’clock when there was still no sign of her, making the three of them anxious.

Qian Jun knocked on the door, but there was no response from Jiang Xinyu.

Lv Beiguang broke open the door and saw Jiang Xinyu lying straight on the bed, frightening the three of them.

Qian Jun rushed over, noticing her rapid breathing. Her cheeks were flushed, he reached out and felt her forehead, it was very hot.

"She has a fever, Secretary Lv, go ask the conductor if there’s any fever medicine?"

"Alright." Lv Beiguang ran out.

"I’ll get her some water, Vice Factory Director Qian, wake Xinyu up, she needs to drink more water."

"Secretary Jiang, Jiang Xinyu, wake up!"

Jiang Xinyu opened her eyes in confusion, and Qian Jun noticed her eyes were red.

"Secretary Jiang, you have a fever, Secretary Lv went to get medicine."

While speaking, Lv Beiguang ran back in, "There’s only Analgin."

"That’s fine, Analgin works well for fevers."

Sun Baosheng also brought in water. Qian Jun, noticing Jiang Xinyu unmoving, realized she was feverish and delirious. He placed his hand under her neck, propping her up to lean against him, wondering if she was too light?
