Chapter 94: 94 has time

She packed everything from the cabinet into the space, leaving out only a set of fitted cashmere clothes she bought for Wei Kaiyun, then locked the cabinet.

She neatly folded Wei Kaiyun’s quilt, to put it into the car later.

The water was hot, Jiang Xinyu asked Wei Kaiyun to wash up while she cooked. She opted for noodles again, as they were quick to make.

"Director Wei, are we still going to drive? Isn’t it too tiring for us? How about we take the train?"

"Take the train?"

"Yeah, can we get a sleeper? It must be more comfortable than driving."

"Okay, I’ll ask Qian Jun to take us to the city to catch a train when we get to the textile factory. But it won’t be convenient for shopping that way."

"We can still bring things back on the train. Will this have any impact on you?"

"A bit. Didn’t I say before, we’re traveling on business expense, returning unexpectedly isn’t great."

"Then let’s drive. I just never took a train and wanted to try it."

"Be good, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

After packing, the two set off by car. They had wasted three days in the Capital, so they felt a bit rushed. They drove faster, and since they hadn’t brought any food, they had to enter towns at mealtime, but that was fine, they could rest a bit.

The Provincial Capital was in the opposite direction to the Capital, and much farther.

At night, they entered a town, found a hotel to stay, and finally arrived at the garment factory on the afternoon of the fifth day.

They reported briefly at the union. Then Jiang Xinyu and Wei Kaiyun went to see the director.

"Xiao Wei, why are you late this time?"

"Director Yuan, I drove myself this time, so it was slower.

Secretary Jiang, this is Director Yuan Xinyun of our Provincial Textile Factory."

Jiang Xinyu smiled and greeted, "Hello, Director Yuan, very glad to meet you."

"Hmm, not bad, this little girl looks sharp.

Xiao Wei, are you planning to stay in the dormitory or outside?"

"Director Yuan, I’ll stay outside, I’m getting older, my nerves are weak, and any little noise will wake me up."

"Okay, eating in the canteen tonight?"

"Yes, I got meal tickets from the union for good dishes."

"Alright, let’s eat together tonight."

"Director Wei!"

Upon hearing a soft feminine voice, Jiang Xinyu glanced over. It was a true beauty with a tall figure, braided hair, fair and clean skin, bright eyes, arched eyebrows, vibrant red lips—no matter how you looked, she was a great beauty, especially in certain places, quite impressive indeed.

Jiang Xinyu instantly felt inferior. When could she ever grow like that?

"Hello, Secretary Tong!"

"Director Wei, welcome." Secretary Tong spoke shyly and timidly, making one want to adhere to her wishes.

"Secretary Jiang, this is Secretary Tong Mingzhu, the secretary for the director of the Provincial Textile Factory.

Secretary Tong, this is my secretary, Jiang Xinyu."

Secretary Tong smiled and extended her hand, Jiang Xinyu quickly grasped it, "Secretary Tong, nice to meet you, you’re so stunning."

Initially, Tong Mingzhu was very unhappy about Wei Kaiyun having a female secretary, but upon closer look, it turned out to be a yet unbloomed little girl. Plus, her sweet words significantly reduced the dislike.

"Secretary Jiang, welcome. We are comrades, if you need anything, you can come to me."

"Okay, surely I’ll have to trouble you in the future. I hope Secretary Tong won’t mind me."

"Director Wei, tonight, I want to treat you to dinner."

"No need for the trouble, Secretary Tong, I’ll just eat at the canteen in the future."

"Oh, really?"

Even a fool could see that this beauty had a thing for Wei Kaiyun. Jiang Xinyu felt a surge of jealousy.

Thankfully, Wei Kaiyun was sensible not to agree, or else she would’ve made him pay.

"Then tonight, let me treat Director Wei and Secretary Jiang in the canteen to welcome you."

"Thank you, Secretary Tong. The union has already provided meal tickets, Secretary Tong, please don’t spend more."

"Hehe, okay, there’s still a month to go, once Xiao Wei has settled, I’ll host you for a meal."

"Thank you, Director Yuan."

"No need to be polite. There are two more hours till end of work, Xiao Wei, you’re?"

"Director Yuan, I was thinking of going back to clean up a bit first, after all, it hasn’t been lived in for over a year."

"Hmm, if it’s too late you don’t have to come, given that you’ve driven such a long way alone."

"No, I’ll accompany Director Yuan to the canteen tonight.

So, if you’ll excuse me for now."

Jiang Xinyu smiled and said goodbye to both, following behind Wei Kaiyun to leave.

"You’re really cheap, aren’t you? What is it? Aren’t you going to give up until Wei Kaiyun sleeps with you?" Yuan Xinyun maliciously remarked.

"How could I? I’m with you, how could I have other thoughts?" Tong Mingzhu hurried to sit on Yuan Xinyun’s lap, hugging his neck and cooing.

"Hm, you better behave, if I find out you’re unclean, you know the consequences." Yuan Xinyun pushed Tong Mingzhu away.

"You’re the one I love most, how could I have other thoughts? Even if you don’t marry me, I’m willing to stay with you. You’re so heartless to say that." Tong Mingzhu sat on the ground, weeping softly.

"Alright, leave, I’ll come over tonight."

Tong Mingzhu stood up, dried her tears, and left sullenly.

Wei Kaiyun’s place was a quarter of an hour away from the textile factory.

"Xinyu, the house hasn’t been lived in for over a year, why not stay at a hotel tonight?"

"No need, let’s tidy up first. If it really doesn’t work, we can stay at a hotel. Can we still light a fire? I really dislike hotel beds, they’re too cold."

"It used to be fine to light a fire, not sure now. Let’s clean it up and see."

"Is there firewood or coal?"

"Yes, there’s plenty, don’t worry, if not, you can sleep with me, I’ll guarantee you won’t feel cold."

Jiang Xinyu rolled her eyes at him, truly getting an inch and wanting a mile.

Wei Kaiyun opened the door, looking at the leaves scattered all over, Jiang Xinyu found it quite desolate.

It was the same inside, covered in dust, fortunately without any bad smell.

"I’ll try lighting a fire." An hour and a half later, with their joint efforts, the home was finally tidied up.

Afterwards, they hurriedly washed up a bit; they still had to go to the factory for dinner soon.

"Xinyu, Yuan Xinyun is not a good person, stay away from him."

"Mm, Tong Mingzhu is not a good person either, you should stay away from her."

"Mm, I know, I wouldn’t bother with her." They drove to the textile factory, going straight to the director’s office.

"Xiao Wei, you’re back? You’re efficient."

"I can’t keep Director Yuan waiting. This is local white liquor, I brought some for you to try."

"Great, we’ll have a drink in a couple of days, won’t go home until we’re drunk."

"Sure, shall I host it?"

"How could that be right?"

"Director Yuan, there’s no need to argue, I make money for myself to spend, it’s less burden than for Director Yuan."
