Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206: Chapter 206: It’s So Good to Be Home

The night before Jiang Cheng returned home, she went to the foreign trade office to call Shen Que.

Upon hearing Jiang Cheng’s return, Shen Que’s eyes sparkled, and her lips uncontrollably curved upward.

"Shen Que, I’m telling you, don’t you dare pick me up!"

Jiang Cheng pretended to be fierce: "If you come to pick me up, I’ll head straight to Yangcheng and skip returning home for a rest."

Shen Que, unable to control his smile, was filled with warmth and affection in his voice, obediently saying, "Alright—"

"I promise I won’t!"

"Really, I guarantee it!"

"But wear more clothes, it’s getting cooler at home."

Jiang Cheng agreed with an "uh-huh," not continuing the conversation much, and hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Jiang Cheng left the foreign trade office, where Director Lu and Director Lian were waiting outside for her.

The three walked slowly down a dimly lit street, reflecting on the busy days and their achievements.

The next morning at nine, Director Yuan personally drove over.

He helped load the luggage onto the car and personally gave them a batch of toys, saying they were for their children or relatives at home.

The three thanked him, without being overly courteous.

Director Yuan drove them to the train station.

"How are you going to carry all this stuff?"

Director Yuan worriedly asked: "Do you want me to help you put it on the train?"

Jiang Cheng quickly waved her hand, "No need, we have someone."

"Who do you have?"

Just after Director Yuan asked, he saw two men in train station uniforms pushing carts over.

With more luggage than before, including a large sack and boxes, the two staff members lifted them onto the cart.

One of them smiled at Jiang Cheng, saying, "Mr. Jiang, I’ll put it on our side, just remember to take it when you get off."

"Thank you, Brother Wang."

Jiang Cheng thanked him, and the man called Brother Wang smiled even wider and pushed the cart away.

Director Yuan was both surprised and amazed: with connections like these, he was rendered completely useless!

Nonetheless, everyone bid their final farewells.

After the goodbyes, Jiang Cheng and her two companions took a deep breath and, with determination, squeezed into the crowd and boarded the train!

After much effort, the three of them successfully found their compartment.

This time it was smooth sailing, and their seats were not occupied.

Not only were the seats free, but there was even an extra seat available.

After settling the small luggage, the three lay down to rest.

The train gradually started moving.

Soon after they started, the conductor came over to speak to Jiang Cheng and mentioned the sleeper tickets for this compartment hadn’t been sold.

Jiang Cheng took a large bag of White Rabbit candy and went out with the conductor, eventually returning empty-handed.

During the journey, Jiang Cheng quietly stayed put and didn’t go wandering.

She peacefully embraced a book, read while lying on the bed, and came down to eat when hungry, before climbing back up to rest after being full.

Embracing the lifestyle of a laid-back traveler.

Director Lu and Director Lian were more than happy to indulge her.

Fruit was sliced, tangerines peeled, and water cooled.

Overall, the journey back was peaceful and delightful.

After a day, a night, and another day, the three disembarked around two in the morning.

Jiang Cheng borrowed a cart, and the three of them pushed their luggage out of the train station together.

"Mr. Jiang!"

A familiar voice.

Jiang Cheng followed the sound and saw a flashlight’s beam—it was Gao Zhonghua.

Not seeing Shen Que’s silhouette, Jiang Cheng was quite satisfied.

Gao Zhonghua ran over, handing over a military coat.

"Mr. Shen asked me to bring this for you, it’s cold!"

Jiang Cheng took the coat and put it on, feeling considerably warmer.

Gao Zhonghua took over the cart, leading the three to his truck.

Gao Zhonghua single-handedly took over the task of loading luggage.

To him, the heavy luggage seemed as light as a toy.

Once everything was loaded, Gao Zhonghua drove, first sending off Director Lu, then Director Lian.
