Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 90 Worries
After distributing the money, Yan Hui wanted to talk to his fourth uncle, but when the sound of the chainsaw came, he knew he didn't have time and immediately ran into the factory.

Yan Hui quickly entered the underground workstation, clutching his newly received 1000 yuan salary, and worked while thinking about the day's tasks.

Why would Brother Zhao tell Uncle Si about his "investment"? Are they really that close? That's impossible.

The more Yan Hui thought about it, the more impossible it seemed. What subordinate would go to their leader to discuss such a thing? Unless they genuinely cared about Yan Hui.

But no matter how Yan Hui thought about it, he couldn't believe it. Zhao Ge and Fourth Uncle's relationship wasn't that good; it was obvious from the start. Fourth Uncle clearly trusted Shan Ge and Accountant Liu Ge more.

If Yan Hui told Brother Shan about this, then it's perfectly normal for Brother Shan to tell Uncle Si. Brother Shan and Uncle Si are extremely close.

Yan Hui thought of a possibility.

A few days ago, Brother Zhao asked Yan Hui about Brother Shan. Also, Brother Zhao is often not here at night now. Does that mean he's gone to visit Brother Shan? The two are about the same age, with Brother Zhao only three years older than Brother Shan. They can get along quite well.

They were both subordinates of Fourth Uncle, so it was normal for peers to discuss this. It would make more sense if Brother Shan knew about it and then told Fourth Uncle.

Thinking of this, Yan Hui stopped thinking about it. Whatever they did together had nothing to do with him.

After a busy day, Yan Hui changed his clothes and went to the freight station again in the evening.

He arrived earliest today, thus securing two train cars early, and then waited for his friends to arrive.

About half an hour later, Lao Guo arrived on his bicycle with Lao Wu. Lao Song had something to do today and couldn't come.

Since there were only three people, Yan Hui felt that two freight cars would be enough. He would consider other cars if they could be transferred quickly.

The three of them were chatting and eating when Yan Hui saw Brother Liu. When they saw each other, they were quite close and there was no way to avoid each other, so Yan Hui greeted him openly.

"Xiao Yan, I've seen you here several times recently, always wearing a shirt. What's going on?" Brother Liu was waiting for his pager, so he didn't have anything else to do.

"Brother, during this time, I've learned all the ins and outs of the freight station. If I ever have money in the future, I'll be in charge of shipping here!" Yan Hui's words were true; this was his dream.

"You've really put in a lot of effort!" Brother Liu nodded.

"hey-hey."

“Oh, right,” Brother Liu suddenly remembered something, “when we were getting paid this morning, your uncle said you’ve started investing? You’re really that capable!”

Seeing that Brother Liu didn't mean to mock him, Yan Hui could only nod: "Doing some small business with friends, no matter how small, is still business, don't you think?"

“Yes, doing anything is better than exerting physical strength, that’s right.” Brother Liu agreed with Yan Hui’s approach. During this period, he had talked with Yan Hui many times and felt that Yan Hui was a thoughtful young man. Sometimes the two of them could talk for more than half an hour.

"I also want to learn more from you."

“You don’t need to be so polite with me,” Brother Liu shook his head, glanced at his watch, and asked, “By the way, what’s up with Lao Zhao lately? He just got paid today and he’s already asking me for money. You two live together every day, have you noticed anything?”

"Huh? I don't know." Yan Hui shook his head.

"Did he go to play cards? I have a feeling something's not right."

"I didn't see it." Yan Hui shook his head again.

"Anyway, I didn't lend him any money, but..." Brother Liu looked at Yan Hui, thought for a moment, "Your expression makes me think you know something. Never mind, you're afraid of offending people, so let's not speculate."

"Brother Liu, I really don't know. Brother Zhao would never tell me these things."

"Yeah, you should be careful too. Oh, it's okay, you don't have any money anyway."

"Yeah, bro, I don't have any money." "Haha, okay, go have fun."

"Uh-huh."

After saying goodbye to Brother Liu, Yan Hui went to find Lao Guo and waited for the client.

"Old Song recently told me that he had a conflict with Da Kai and his gang," Old Guo said to Yan Hui.

"Old Song mainly makes his money here now, right? How could there be a conflict?"

"It has nothing to do with him. He was probably standing up for your friend Xiao Song. Da Kai must be having a hard time lately. Xiao Bao isn't helping him anymore, so he can't make money over there and is trying to steal Lao Song and Xiao Song's business."

"Judging by the time, Xiao Song's summer vacation will be over soon, right?" Yan Hui calculated the days.

"Huh? More or less."

"Then it's fine. We can give that place to Da Kai later. With his brains, he'd have a hard time earning money on his own without Xiao Bao's help."

"Yeah, anyway, Lao Song said he can handle it, so there shouldn't be any problem." Lao Guo nodded and stretched slightly as he spoke.

"Huh? Ah?" At this moment, Yan Hui spotted the pager on Lao Guo's waist!
"Old Guo, you bought a pager?" Yan Hui was stunned. "You didn't even tell me beforehand?"

"Huh? This?" Old Guo waved his hand lightly. "This is something my dad discarded, an old model, it won't do."

"Didn't your dad already have a mobile phone? Why did he just give you this one?"

"This pager used to be with my uncle, but now that he's got a mobile phone, he gave this one to me," Old Guo chuckled, thinking to himself, "How come you only just noticed it, kid!"

"That's awesome! You're amazing! I didn't expect you to be the first among us to have a pager!" Yan Hui knew that Lao Guo's was an older model without the text display function, but it was still a good thing!

"You can afford it too? Don't think I don't know how good you are at saving money." Old Guo still admired Yan Hui a bit.

For almost two years, Yan Hui has never spent money on anything related to "enjoyment," and Lao Guo has noticed this.

"I'll wait until later. I think I'll need it sooner or later."

"Again"

"You two stop talking for a moment," Old Wu interrupted their conversation. "Look over there, isn't that Xiao Bao?"

"Hmm?" Yan Hui immediately looked in the direction Old Wu pointed.

It was indeed Xiao Bao, who was leading people to pull a cart this way.

"That kid's been getting more and more active around here lately. Looks like he's discovered that doing transportation here is more profitable than at the market." Yan Hui thought for a moment. "I've seen them seven or eight times this month, haven't I?"

"I saw them yesterday and the day before. It looks like they'll be stationed here permanently from now on." Old Wu was a little worried. "These goods here will definitely affect our business."

"It's more than just an impact. That Xiao Bao doesn't hold back when he does things, and he might steal our jobs," Old Guo sighed.

“I’m not worried about a conflict, but if a conflict breaks out, we definitely won’t be able to make money. And if these people find out how we make money, they’ll definitely be able to take over all the train cars at the station, and then nobody will be able to make any money.” Yan Hui said helplessly. “We can fight, but we can’t let it interfere with business. We’ll try to keep a low profile in the future.”

"it is good."

"It's all up to you."
