Chapter 1119: Arrival
Finally, the train showed signs of slowing down; people had already gathered at the doors of every carriage, ready to descend immediately beneath the train for a thorough inspection.
Liu Chuxue and Mi Aijun followed behind Captain Xiong.
After disembarking, they headed straight for Carriage Nine and Carriage Twelve, which Liu Chuxue had previously emphasized.
The train had made an unscheduled stop; many half-asleep passengers noticed, and someone asked curiously, "We're nowhere near a village, so why has the train stopped?"
Many stood up from their seats to look outside, seeing only people but having no idea what they were doing.
Time ticked by second by second; after Liu Chuxue deliberately guided the inspection team a few times, the personnel responsible for checking Carriage Nine and Carriage Twelve finally found the explosives tied beneath the train. After removing them all, they were soaked with water, bearing immense pressure in their hearts.
Over the course of more than ten minutes, everyone conducted two full sweeps of the train, confirming all hidden dangers beneath were eliminated before the train resumed its journey toward Zhuzhou.
After Captain Xiong and the train conductor sincerely thanked Liu Chuxue and Mi Aijun once again, they proposed arranging for them to switch to a hard-sleeper carriage.
However, Liu Chuxue and Mi Aijun refused; their reason was simple: they were on a business trip with colleagues and did not want special treatment.
The train conductor and Captain Xiong understood their concerns and did not press the matter.
When the two returned to their seats, several people were still awake, including Wan Qing: "Where did you two go?"
Liu Chuxue did not want to say much to her: "I went to the restroom; Brother Mi worried that a Miss like me would be unsafe, so he accompanied me."
Wan Qing sneered, "Do you really think you're a golden treasure?"
Liu Chuxue did not care about her sarcasm; she turned to the still-awake Zhang Chunsheng and said, "Brother Zhang, thank you. It's still early; we can still take a nap."
She vowed inwardly that on the next business trip after disembarking, even if she had to pay out of her own pocket, she would take a sleeper berth; sitting in a hard seat for such a long duration was truly unbearable for her.
For the rest of the journey, aside from Wan Qing occasionally saying unpleasant things, the trip proceeded smoothly.
After the vehicle arrived at the station, Old Zhou, familiar with the route, led them by bus to a guesthouse near the Canton Fair and settled them in.
The next day, they first collected the exhibition handbook, then led the group to the booth belonging to the Rolling Steel Factory, after which they began arranging and deploying tasks in an orderly manner.
Apart from assisting them with some trivial matters at the beginning, Liu Chuxue's main task was to memorize all the various data regarding the exhibited products.
If there was nothing to do at the booth, Old Zhou would let her return to the nearby guesthouse to familiarize herself with the materials, fearing that her unfamiliarity with the products would affect the translation quality later.
What he did not know was how formidable Liu Chuxue's memory was; it was comparable to having a photographic memory, which also provided her with convenience for filling her spatial storage with species.
Over the next few days, her space accumulated quite a few plants from the southern region, including not only fruits and vegetables but also medicinal herbs.
She thought that if she had time, she would go to the seaside; since coming here was not easy, and although the sea was somewhat far away, she did not want to miss this opportunity.
However, she never found an opportunity before the Canton Fair began.
She was so busy and happy on this side that she forgot about Fu Yan Cheng, who had been waiting for her call.
Shen Kaiyuan looked at the somewhat gloomy Fu Yan Cheng and asked, "What's wrong? Has Sister-in-law still not called you?"
Fu Yan Cheng rolled his eyes at him, thinking: Why bring up the very thing that shouldn't be mentioned? He truly deserves a scolding.
Seeing his expression, Shen Kaiyuan burst out laughing directly: "I never expected you to have such a day. When those young girls chased after you before, you didn't even give them a single glance; I never thought one day you would fall into Sister-in-law's hands."
