Chapter 189: Depart at 189

But it was just a moment, and Kong Mengjie put it aside as she now had a family and a husband.

In the afternoon, Qian Jun came back and sought her out, "Jiang Xinyu, the time is set. The day after tomorrow, which is Wednesday, we depart."

"Hmm, how much money do we need to bring over?"

"The donations from various units total over seventy thousand, the donations from the towns and villages below amount to three hundred and sixty thousand, and the government departments donated sixteen thousand. Altogether, it’s four hundred and fifty thousand."

"Haha, that’s quite a lot of money. If the price doesn’t increase, we can buy more than six hundred tons of wheat, right?"

"The upper management decided to leave fifty thousand as emergency funds for you, fifty thousand for transportation, which means you will bring four hundred thousand, and you just need to buy three hundred and fifty thousand worth of wheat."

"That’s quite a significant move. I understand. Who’s the contact at the railway?"

"Shen Xueqi. Jiang Xinyu, let’s see how much we can get with two hundred thousand, don’t force it."

"What did the Management Bureau say?"

"It’s all ours; of course, some brother enterprises wanted to join, but I refused."

"Haha, it must be L City’s request, right?"

Qian Jun smiled but said nothing, recalling Wei Kaiyun’s words: if Jiang Xinyu encountered problems, he might regret it. But at least, he didn’t regret it now.

"I’ll see you off to catch the train the day after tomorrow."

"What time?"

"Set off at nine in the morning."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you at home."

"You don’t need to go to work tomorrow, stay home and prepare your supplies, you can prepare more food."

"Thank you."

Qian Jun abruptly stood up and left without saying a word.

Jiang Xinyu wasn’t a fool; she wouldn’t believe for a second that Qian Jun had nothing to do with this matter.

The next day, Jiang Xinyu stayed in bed until after eight o’clock, unable to stay because it was too cold.

She lit the stove and thought about it, deciding to steam some meat buns. Who knows what she could eat later?

She steamed two trays of beef and scallion, two trays of pork and cabbage, and two trays of sugar buns. It took an entire day.

In the evening, she couldn’t sleep at the head of the kang because it was too hot and had to move to the end of it.

She got up early the next day, boiled some water for a bath, and the house was already tidy, with the luggage ready, waiting for Qian Jun to arrive.

At eight o’clock, Qian Jun arrived, and after getting in the car, he handed Jiang Xinyu a bag from the front.

"This is for emergency use."

"Money?"

"Yes, two thousand, plus one thousand Rubles."

"Alright, I understand."

"Where’s Wu Hongyu?"

"We’re going to pick him up now."

The three of them arrived at the train station by eight forty.

Jiang Xinyu had quite a lot of luggage, and Qian Jun helped carry it.

"Haha, I’ve been waiting for Director Jiang for an hour."

"Leader, isn’t the train scheduled for nine? I’m not late, am I?"

"That’s right, Director Jiang isn’t late. I arrived early."

Jiang Xinyu just smiled and called Wu Hongyu over, and the two of them started moving the luggage onto the train.

"Jiang Xinyu."

"Secretary Liu."

"Director Jiang, this is our grain station’s Yang Xianzong, Director Yang."

"Director Jiang, I’ve long admired your name."

Jiang Xinyu looked at this particularly cheerful-looking middle-aged man, and hearing his words, she couldn’t help but laugh.

"Director Yang, what kind of reputation do I have to be long admired by you?"

"Oh, I’ve heard many stories about Director Jiang."

"Thank you, Director Yang, for the compliments. Let’s get on the train."

"Jiang Xinyu, take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Secretary Liu." Jiang Xinyu smiled at Liu Yuwei.

Shen Xueqi saw everyone was on board and, with his assistant, boarded the train last.

As the train departed, Qian Jun said, "I won’t regret it," then turned around and left.

Wei Kaiyun knew they were leaving today, and he sat absent-mindedly behind his desk. Finally, he looked up at the time; it’s ten o’clock, have they set off?

Suddenly, the phone rang. Wei Kaiyun answered and listened to the leader’s instructions, frowning, ending with only a "Yes."

It seems he’s no longer safe. Haha, this is good; both of them are in uncertain circumstances. Will they ever have a chance to meet again? He chuckled self-mockingly and prepared to leave.

Jiang Xinyu lay in bed reading a book, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep, awakened by a knock on the door.

"Director Jiang, it’s time to eat."

"Thank you."

They all waited for her, the four of them. "Don’t wait for me anymore in the future. I’ll come out when I’m hungry."

"Director Jiang, do you want me to find you for a chat in the afternoon?"

Jiang Xinyu glanced at Shen Xueqi. "Sure, if the leader has any orders, just say it."

"Just a casual chat."

Jiang Xinyu lowered her head and continued eating, saying nothing.

Shen Xueqi merely chatted casually with her, asking about work.

Seeing her yawning, he excused himself and left.

Throughout the more than twenty days of travel, Jiang Xinyu seldom chatted idly with the other few people. She always stayed cooped up in her room.

Upon arrival, a friend of Qian Jun’s came to pick them up. They stayed at his house.

The process of receiving the goods went smoothly. The price increased by two cents per catty, lower than expected, so no one had any complaints.

This station’s Director Yang was indeed capable. His inspections were very strict, yet he was not slow.

Wheat alone filled thirty-five carriage loads. Cotton took up twenty carriage loads.

Jiang Xinyu didn’t wander around as she used to. Instead, she dutifully followed Shen Xueqi, serving as his translator.

In ten days, all the vehicles were loaded. In front of everyone, Jiang Xinyu directly gave the local person in charge ten thousand yuan.

"Comrade, thank you for your help during this time."

The other party did not refuse, "Director Jiang. Be careful, the border might be difficult. Did you get inspected when you arrived this time?"

"Yes, it wasn’t like this before."

"Be cautious."

"Hmm, I’ll be careful."

The train set off, and Jiang Xinyu felt anxious.

"Director Jiang, are you very nervous?"

"Yes. I’m very nervous."

A day later, the train reached the border, and everyone got off for inspection.

Jiang Xinyu, apart from external items like clothes, had everything else in her space. After disembarking, she translated for the fourteen people, instructing them to squat with their hands on their heads.

Everyone silently accepted the inspection. Jiang Xinyu was called up and listened with a frown to the head of the inspection talk.

Then, she intermittently explained all the grain’s purposes in Russian.

It was the same gentleman she dealt with last time, still quite the gentleman.

They stood and chatted, while everyone else squatted there, and a driver suddenly moved and was immediately kicked to the ground, his head pressed to a gun.

Jiang Xinyu was frightened and quickly explained, but the leader shook his head.

This time, Shen Xueqi finally truly sensed the threat to life. You are truly at the mercy of others, never had he felt this aggrieved before.
