Chapter 303: Inspecting the furniture factory

Huang Jingping was of course very happy to go to the south. Girls always have a lot of things to take with them when they go out, and if they had a legendary space equipment, they would probably pack the whole house.

In the evening, Feng Yiping repeatedly asked Huang Jingping to simplify, but in the end, she packed a suitcase full of her things, and she was adamant that nothing could be cut back.

There was nothing Feng Yiping could do but force a simplification. Apart from the bag of underwear that Huang Jingping carried with a blush, only two sets of clothes for changing were left, and only two or three items of cosmetics were brought.

Huang Jingping pouted, 'We're going to be gone for so many days, and we're only taking this much stuff, how is that going to work?'

'Why not? This time, the whole point is to take you shopping for clothes and cosmetics, so why are you taking all this?'

'Clothes are so expensive over there!'

Feng Yiping zipped the suitcase up without further ado, 'Don't try to sneak anything in. Besides, a lot of things over there are cheaper than here, you'll see when we get there.'

Morning of the 12th, the provincial capital, the airport.

'Beauty, can you give us two seats next to each other? Preferably by the window. It's our first time flying, we want to see the view outside.' Feng Yiping smiled enthusiastically at the girl checking them in.

Huang Jingping stood next to the luggage cart, and when she saw him begging the girl in such a cute way, she really wanted to laugh.

Although he didn't get a response, the boarding pass they were given still satisfied his request. 'Thank you,' Feng Yiping checked in the only suitcase and prepared to go through security early, so that he could go shopping with Huang Jingping in the airport.

After passing through security, before they even reached their waiting area, Huang Jingping was drawn to the busy takeoffs and landings outside the window. Anyone seeing such a scene for the first time would be captivated and would keep looking.

'Quick, I want to take a photo,' fortunately, she was only taking photos of the planes outside the window. Feng Yiping took the camera and, ignoring the many people looking at him like they were looking at a bumpkin, took a photo of her with a plane taking off in the background. We are just bumpkins who have never seen the world, so what's the big deal!

As the plane rose, Huang Jingping, who was sitting by the window, became very nervous and grabbed Feng Yiping's hand tightly. 'Open your mouth,' Feng Yiping said, seeing that she was a little responsive, and tore off a piece of chewing gum and gave it to her to chew. Now it seems that there are very few flights that hand out candy.

Once they finally entered the cruising phase, Huang Jingping sat up straight and greedily looked out the porthole at the blue sky and white clouds, as well as the idyllic countryside and cities that looked so orderly from the plane. She hadn't closed her eyes the whole way, which was almost two hours.

Lao Cai and Xiong Yuliang drove a Jinbei commercial vehicle to personally pick her up. Feng Yiping introduced Huang Jingping to them, 'My friend,' and the two of them smiled knowingly, greeting Huang Jingping warmly. Feng Yiping didn't bother to explain, either. Okay, now that he has graduated from high school, it seems that there is no need to explain.

Lao Cai was also going to help Feng Yiping carry the luggage, but this was not allowed. 'I'll do it,' said Xiong Yuliang, who was standing nearby, and took it over. Then he can do it!

After a few months here, Lao Cai has darkened a little, but he looks more energetic as a whole, perhaps because he has been infected by the city.

A city has its own characteristics. Of course, a day trip or a few day trip to see the city at a glance cannot touch the essence of a city, but Feng Yiping has been in Yangcheng for so many years and has often come here, so he still understands her a little.

It is a big city that is young, efficient, full of vitality, and full of hope and opportunities. The 'Shenzhen Speed' named after her was once a symbol of reform and opening up. In fact, it later came to refer not just to the speed at which buildings were constructed, but to the high efficiency of this place in general, which encompasses every aspect.

What's funny is that when Feng Yiping first arrived, he experienced this speed first-hand from the other side. At that time, his business had just started and he hadn't bought a car yet. After getting off the bus, the mobile phone he had placed in his trouser pocket disappeared without a trace. Previously, when he was in Guangzhou, he also took the bus in and out, and for more than a month, he had also placed his mobile phone in his pocket without any problems.

As soon as he left the airport, he could intuitively feel the difference between the provincial capital and the city. Factories could be seen along the way, and the industrial atmosphere was strong. Lao Cai sat in the passenger seat, explaining things to them from time to time. In fact, there was basically no scenery at all on this stretch of road. However, having arrived in the legendary south, Huang Jingping was obviously very happy, and her eyes were kept busy the whole way.

The foundation of the factory building was still being laid, and the preparatory team had rented a few houses in the nearby community to stay in. A row of simple rooms made of colour steel plates had been set up on the construction site as an office. Although the conditions were simple, the air conditioning was fully turned on. Huang Jingping stayed in the office to rest for a while, while Feng Yiping and the other two, wearing safety helmets, walked around the construction site. Feng Yiping didn't understand anything about infrastructure, but since they had come, they might as well take a look around. As he looked at the construction site in full swing before him, he not only felt the heat from the sun on his body, but also in his heart.

In the afternoon, Lao Cai and Xiong Yuliang reported to him on the progress of the project for more than two hours. Generally speaking, the preparatory work was going very well. A lot of work had been done when the cabinet factory in the town was built, which provided a good reference for this new project, such as the procurement of equipment.

They talked about various reports and drawings on the table for more than two hours. Next to them, Huang Jingping could not insert a word, although she did not understand some of the things they discussed. However, she insisted on listening to them.

'Why don't I take you back to the hotel first?' Feng Yiping felt that she looked a little sleepy.

'It's fine, you go ahead, don't worry about me.'

Before going to the hotel, Feng Yiping shook hands with everyone on the construction team, accompanied by Lao Cai and the others. This was also the first time many people had met the boss. Feng Yiping looked at the expressions on some of their faces and guessed that they really saw him as a second-generation boss. Huang Jingping, who followed, was of course treated as a mistress.

That night, instead of a welcome dinner, Feng Yiping paid for a meal for everyone. The preparatory work was really hard, and it was rare for the boss to come, so he had to give the employees some benefits.

Although the Hong Kong stock market had stabilised, the series of traumas brought about by the 1997 financial crisis were far from over. Many companies and individuals were still in a slump. As some of the properties under the SAR government's 85,000 housing plan were completed one after the other, housing prices entered a downward channel again, creating many more negative assets.

Late at night, Gao Yiming woke up from his sleep again. It seemed that he could still hear the end of his snoring echoing around the dark room.

He knew that he would never be able to sleep again. Sighing, he fumbled to turn on the bedside lamp.

The room was extremely simple, there was not even a bed, just a simple wardrobe. A large pile of suitcases were scattered in the corner. He grabbed the cigarette box and shook it, it was empty, not a single cigarette inside.

Tomorrow, he must find a job, otherwise he won't be able to pay the rent!
