Chapter 386: Chapter 141: The ’Green Tea’ Female Side Character in an Era Novel (28)

"Our task for the next few days is critical. We need to properly inventory the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and prepare it for shipment. To be precise, forty-eight organizations have agreed to a trade, and they’ll be taking 820,000 vials."

Chi Yun’er didn’t hold back. Seeing her partners’ jaws drop in stunned amazement, she smiled and said, "Have you ever heard the saying, ’A goose feather sent from a thousand miles away; the gift is light but the sentiment is heavy’?"

"A single vial of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is very cheap, so the total value for each organization is only around a thousand yuan. However, if we ship them all separately, the freight costs alone will be quite high."

"The organizations I chose are all located along a single railway line. That way, we can even make other trades along the way during one round trip..."

"Zhao Jinming, I’ll need you to do the hard part. You’ll have to escort the goods and complete the transactions."

Zhao Jinming pressed his lips into a thin line and gave a firm, solemn nod. "I’ll stay in the back of the truck and won’t leave its side for a second. I absolutely will not fail this mission!"

The weather was hot, and the stuffy, airless cargo bay of the truck would be far from comfortable.

Chi Yun’er smiled faintly. "That won’t be necessary. I had a former classmate help me reserve a whole train car. All you have to do is hold on to the key."

"Once you’re on the train, though, keep your eyes and ears open and your mouth shut. Be careful not to get tricked."

Zhao Jinming looked at her and pointed to himself. "Do I look like some gullible fool who believes whatever he’s told? Back when we were kids, wasn’t I the strategist of the group..."

At his words, the three of them exchanged a smile. It was as if their old camaraderie had transcended time, and they had picked up right where they left off.

Zhao Jinming smiled. "Chi Yun’er—no, Director Chi, you can rest assured. I know how important this is. I’ll be careful and won’t cause any unnecessary trouble."

"That key isn’t leaving my side."

Chi Yun’er nodded, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "I believe you. You’re the old director’s grandson, after all. A serious and responsible work ethic is a given."

"You two do a good job, and you’ll be my right and left hands. From now on, we need to properly serve the nearly three thousand employees of this hospital..."

Zhao Jinming and Xu Chengfang nodded vigorously.

It was true that they both had powerful connections. At the same time, however, they were stuck in that awkward space of not being qualified for the best jobs, but too proud for the worst. They looked down on positions that were well-paid, easy, and required no technical skills, seeing them as dead-end jobs with no future. They didn’t want to just start their careers by coasting, leaving all their youthful passion with no outlet.

On the other hand, the ambitious jobs that would have been a worthy outlet for their passion had high technical requirements. They wouldn’t have been competent enough to handle those roles even if they were given them.
