Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

"Sure, no problem!" Ye Chuan stood up, glanced at the dumbfounded crowd, then took the lead in getting on the minibus, opened the window, and shouted to everyone, "Let's go! You still think the sun isn't strong enough, right?"

At Ye Chuan's urging, everyone got on the bus, and the driver rekindled the fire and drove the minibus to Rock Lake.

There was silence in the car, and everyone stared at Ye Chuan with respect.

In just a few moments, he subdued a group of sturdy men, demonstrating real strength rather than the violence of a street thug.

Chen Xiangdong did not ask, but just stared at Ye Chuan with a satisfied smile on his face.

Chen Xiangdong got to know Ye Chuan through the introduction of Mr. Xu, who helped him on his road to promotion. Chen Xiangdong was deeply impressed by Ye Chuan's strength demonstrated time and time again.

Now, he has a new understanding of this 21-year-old young man.

Chen Xiangdong's admiration for Mr. Xu is as endless as the water of the Yangtze River. It takes only one encounter for him to spot such a future star. What a sharp vision he has.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but they finally arrived at the Rock Lake Port before four o'clock.

The driver also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he finally sent this group of people to their destination accurately.

But he was still quite nervous because he had to pass that village on the way back.

If there is retaliation, his safety will be a concern.

After everyone got off the bus, Ye Chuan ran to the driver's seat and handed over 50 yuan with a smile. "Master, please try to avoid that route on your way back. You can use this money to fill up the gas tank."

"Thank you, Director Ye." The driver thanked gratefully.

On the way, he already knew how people called Ye Chuan "director", although the specific position was unclear, but it was obviously not wrong. "You are too polite!" Ye Chuan patted his shoulder, then left with a smile.

Due to the status of an official study tour, the customs clearance procedure was smooth and only took a few minutes.

Thirteen people, including Ye Chuan, crossed the port and arrived at the island on the other side.

Chen Xiangdong led the team forward, and soon a middle-aged man in a suit approached them. "Are you Mr. Chen Xiangdong?" he asked in Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent.

Chen Xiangdong hurriedly shook hands with the other party and responded: "Yes, I am Chen Xiangdong.

Are you Manager Huang? "

The man's accent reminded him of the way Hong Kong businessmen talked in mainland China when he watched movies in his previous life. "Yes, my name is Huang Weiqiang, everyone, please get in the car." Hearing the other party's accent, the others became curious, but Ye Chuan was the only one who laughed secretly.

Chen Xiangdong followed Huang Weiqiang to a minibus outside the port with a slightly reserved look. "Mr. Chen, the hotel has been booked for you. You should have a good rest today. I will pick you up for a tour tomorrow morning," Huang Weiqiang said.

Chen Xiangdong nodded to express his gratitude: "Thank you very much, Manager Huang."

"You're welcome." Then everyone lined up to get on the bus. The minibus they took this time was much cleaner than the one in Guangzhou City. At least there was no pungent smell of gasoline.

After getting in the car, Huang Weiqiang loudly told the driver a destination, and the vehicle started slowly.

Ye Chuan possesses advanced Cantonese skills and is able to understand the conversation between the two.

But the others didn't pay attention. They all looked at the scenery outside the window, as if they were Liu Laolao who had just entered a wealthy family.

A few minutes later, the vehicle passed through a bustling urban area. The prosperity of the 1960s was not much different from that of today.

The high-rise office buildings, cars and fashionable clothes are amazing. "Look! A bus on the second floor!" Xiao Junnian shouted excitedly.

Following his direction, everyone saw a red double-decker bus, which was six or seven meters tall and looked majestic and spectacular.

In the capital, the buses you see are all old and broken. There is no bus that is as big as a small building. Everyone's eyes are instantly drawn to it. "Country bumpkin!" Huang Weiqiang, who was sitting in the front, whispered disdainfully.

The driver couldn't help but chuckle. Everyone looked at his expression and realized that what he said was not good, but no one refuted it.

These people are completely focused and deeply attracted by the world outside the window: the wide eight-lane two-way road is lined with a variety of signs, restaurants, clinics, watch shops, jewelry stores, banks, department stores and various restaurants.

The buses and double-deckers that shuttle through the area are covered with various advertisements.

The white-collar workers on the street, in suits and tie with straight collars, look hurried as they shuttle between the uniquely shaped skyscrapers.

As people were gazing at the beautiful scenery outside the window, the minibus stopped abruptly on a busy street. "Mr. Chen, we have arrived at your hotel!" Ye Chuan recognized the road signs and found that this was the famous Tsim Sha Tsui area of ​​Hong Kong Island.

However, the place where the car was parked made him frown slightly.

Among the many signs, he finally recognized the "Jinchuan Hotel" sign.

Even though he did not expect to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, among the many four-star hotels, the hotel in front of him was indeed a bit shabby and simple, slightly inferior to its appearance.

Huang Weiqiang, who was standing at the front, spoke at this time: "We will stay here tonight, Jinchuan Hotel, and plan to visit the Ruixing Department Store next door tomorrow."

It was not until this time that Ye Chuan knew that he was the department manager of the department store.

Due to retail business dealings in Beijing, he was able to attend as a receptionist for the inspection team. "Next, please get off the bus and check in at the front desk.

After dinner, go on your own. I will host a banquet for you all at noon tomorrow." Mr. Huang got out of the car first, and the others followed him with their bags and walked into the hotel.

The hotel lobby was not grand. In Ye Chuan's opinion, it was only of three-star standard, but in the eyes of others it was luxurious.

Huang Weiqiang booked seven rooms for the team. Chen Xiangdong had a single room, and the others shared two rooms.

Ye Chuan and Wei Dong shared a room. Xiao Junnian wanted to move in with him, but Wei Dong got there first, so he had to share a room with other people.

He and Wei Dong came to the floor where the room was located. Both the hotel facilities and the interior decoration were like a journey back to the past.

However, for Wei Dong and his friends, Jinchuan Hotel was already a place of extreme luxury. "There's even a TV?" Wei Dong was surprised when he walked into the room.

Ye Chuan smiled slightly, put down his luggage, and leaned on the bed near the window.

Wei Dong looked left and right, and when he saw the clean bathroom of four or five square meters, he was even more surprised and exclaimed in admiration.

The bathroom's dry and wet areas are neatly divided, and the walls are covered with white tiles, giving a fresh and tidy feeling.

Since traveling to this era, the bathroom is undoubtedly the most difficult part for him to adapt to.

The open-air earth pit was freezing in the winter, smelly in the summer, and filled with the squirming little creatures that made him unable to bear the thought.

Compared to this, except for the sanitary conditions, it is really difficult to compare with Tong Yao's warm little home in the courtyard.

Wei Dong, who was looking at the bathroom, immediately sat on the bed, felt the soft mattress for a while, and exclaimed: "Brother Ye, this bed is so comfortable!"

"Brother Wei, this is a Simmons mattress. It has springs inside. It is quite comfortable to lie on, but it may not be suitable for people with waist discomfort."

"Simmons mattress? Xiaoye, you know a lot!" Wei Dong said in amazement.

When he heard that it was a mattress, he jumped from the floor onto the bed and jumped high. This new discovery made him extremely happy and excited.

However, Ye Chuan had a bitter smile on his face.

A middle-aged man who is nearly 40 years old is still jumping on a Simmons mattress, as lively as a naughty child.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ye Chuan went over to open the door and found Xiao Junnian standing at the door with a happy face.

As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed Ye Chuan's shoulder and said, "Brother Ye, this hotel is really great!" Ye Chuan gently broke free from his hand and curled his lips with disgust.

Xiao Junnian followed his gaze and saw Wei Dong jumping on the mattress.

Faced with this situation, Ye Chuan felt helpless, but also had some understanding.

It felt like the Earthlings were on Mars, everything was new to them, they just didn't have much experience. "Are you hungry?" Ye Chuan asked with concern.

When this was mentioned, their stomachs immediately growled with hunger.

They hadn't eaten a single meal since morning. It was already past five o'clock and they hadn't eaten a single grain of rice. "I'm a little hungry."

Hearing this, Ye Chuan suddenly jumped off the bed and waved: "Come on, let's go, I'll treat you, let's go eat!"

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Wei Dong is older and his position is the most prominent among the three. According to convention, he should be the one to make the invitation.

But he didn't have much cash in his pocket and felt embarrassed about this.

The bustling streets made the two companions a little timid, as they were not sure how much a meal would cost.

Ten or eight yuan was acceptable, but if it was over a hundred yuan, they would really find it hard to afford it. "It doesn't matter. Now that we are here, we won't be so particular about that. Whoever can afford it will pay!" Xiao Junnian and Ye Chuan were of similar age, and they quickly became close, and they were less concerned about Wei Dong's concerns.

They nodded readily.

Ye Chuan also had this idea. One of the two was a building manager he was familiar with, and the other was a commercial section chief. They were both helpful in their careers. "Okay, let's go together! Let's ask Director Chen to go with us!" He pulled up their arms and suggested.

A group of three people came to Chen Xiangdong's door and knocked, but no one answered. They knocked for a long time.

Another member of their inspection team popped his head out of a room next to them. "The director just left with Huang Weiqiang."

"Okay, thank you!" Ye Chuan thought that Director Chen might have gone to have dinner and discuss the itinerary.

Seeing that Chen Xiangdong was not there, the remaining two people breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiangdong is the deputy director of a material recycling company, and his rank is not low, which puts a kind of invisible pressure on them.

They arrived at the hotel entrance.

Leaving the room, the bustling Tsim Sha Tsui is right in front of you.

Just now, he had only experienced the prosperous scene of this city in the car, but now he was personally on the scene, and everyone, including Ye Chuan, was shocked by its splendor in his heart.

It has been almost a year since he traveled here, and he has gradually integrated into and adapted to everything in this era.

But suddenly coming from the inland to this prosperous place, I couldn't avoid the shock in my heart.
