Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

However, Huang Weiqiang snorted with disdain, "Hey, what family affection! If life can be improved, these are all external things.

But..." His tone softened a little, "Ye Chuan may be young and impulsive, but Mr. Huang, please don't worry, he will definitely come back!"

Chen Xiangdong spoke with determination. Although the living conditions in the capital were not as good as before, he was sure that Ye Chuan would choose to stay in that comfortable and peaceful place.

So he asserted, "It's less than an hour before the inspection of Ruixing. I believe Ye Chuan will be able to return within the specified time!"

However, Huang Weiqiang responded coldly, "I hope so."

The inspection team had gone through the declaration process in advance, and if anyone left without permission it would have a huge impact on them.

As more and more people escaped, he determined that Ye Chuan was probably one of them. After all, delicious food and beautiful scenery can always dilute family ties.

Time passed, and at half past eight, the two were still standing at the hotel entrance without seeing Ye Chuan.

Huang Weiqiang kept making sarcastic remarks, and although Chen Xiangdong looked calm, he was worried inside.

He knew that Ye Chuan would definitely not do anything out of line, but his disappearance that night still made him feel uneasy.

Wei Dong and Xiao Junnian's description was just a simple stroll after dinner, which made Chen Xiangdong feel suspicious.

If something really goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous - his future, Mr. Xu's trust, everything will be subject to unprecedented scrutiny.

With only ten minutes left before the meeting, a Mercedes drove in at the door.

The two shocked people saw Ye Chuan, wearing new clothes, getting out of the passenger seat. Lei Luo also came out of the driver's seat and handed him two boxes of cigarettes.

Ye Chuan took the cigarette and said with a smile: "I am really sorry for the gift given to me by Big Brother."

Lei Luo then said lightly: "Everything will be ready tomorrow, and I'll meet you for a drink.

Let’s find another place tonight and don’t go home until we’re drunk.”

Chen Xiangdong's expression softened when he heard this. He understood the playful mentality of young people: "Be careful next time, don't let others take you away."

Huang Weiqiang on the side was completely stunned, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

He would not easily ignore a character like Lei Luo, because even he himself had to respect Lei Luo.

Although Chen Xiangdong was not familiar with this friend who suddenly appeared, he was obviously no stranger to Lei Luo, this powerful man who could easily subvert his world.

Ye Chuan also noticed the subtle change in Huang Weiqiang, and walked towards him with a smile and said, "Manager Huang, I had a drink with my friends yesterday and played until very late. Will it affect my work?" Huang Weiqiang was no longer in the mood to put on his previous arrogant attitude. His face was immediately filled with a flattering smile, and he almost wanted to kneel down and show his courtesy to Ye Chuan. "Mr. Ye, don't worry, if there is anything else you need, just tell me in advance.

I can provide you with transportation to various places.

We are waiting here not to target you, but just to protect you. "Chen Xiangdong has been in the officialdom for many years, and he knows at a glance that the old man who escorted Ye Chuan here is definitely not a trivial person.

I couldn't help but look at Ye Chuan with interest. How could this boy be so good at making friends with experts? No matter where he went, he would know such a person, which made people look at him with new eyes.

Chen Xiangdong and Huang Weiqiang have different thoughts.

The former's ignorance made him fail to understand the importance of Lei Luo's position in Hong Kong Island; the latter's shock is still ongoing.

After a few minutes, as Wang Dong, Xiao Junnian and others walked down the stairs one after another, Ye Chuan took out a cigarette and distributed it to the smokers, keeping a box for himself.

Huang Weiqiang felt heartbroken watching him do this.

Could Lei Luo be smoking a cheap product? All of them are high-end products from England and a certain powerful country, and each one is not simple.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, he led them into the Hong Kong Island Ruixing Department Store which was just across the wall.

Compared to his excited look in the morning, his attitude now was much friendlier. He glanced at Ye Chuan from time to time, fearing that the friend whom Lei Luo regarded as a brother would be dissatisfied in the slightest.

The moment they stepped into Ruixing Department Store, everyone was amazed.

Most of the members of this inspection team are managers of Beijing’s shopping malls and are considered the elites of the industry.

Even so, they were still deeply shocked by the bustling retail scene on Hong Kong Island.

Huang Weiqiang proudly said: "Our Ruixing Department Store is a time-honored department store with a long history and has been in business for 26 years.

After years of hard work, Ruixing has now become a popular store on Hong Kong Island, on par with Sincere and Wing On.

As the manager of the largest department store in Beijing, Wang Dong was even more astonished.

Ruixing Department Store far exceeds the First Department Store in terms of floor space and business model. Its exquisite and elegant decoration makes people feel noble and grand.

The shopping atmosphere here is completely different from that of the First Department Store.

People there always look hurried; black, white and grey are the only colours to be seen. Everyone goes straight to their destination and there is rarely any real fun in shopping.

Normally, unless it is the Chinese New Year or the May Day or National Day holidays, it is rare for people to enjoy the shopping process leisurely.

But it's completely different here. All you can see are women in colorful clothes, chatting easily and shopping leisurely.

Whenever they see an item they like, they will stop to choose it. The employees always have a smile on their faces and are friendly even if the customers do not make a purchasing decision.

Not to mention, the department store has a strong romantic atmosphere. Couples can be seen everywhere, some walking hand in hand, some whispering, and their intimate actions can be seen clearly.

An older member of the expedition team couldn't help but complain, "The social atmosphere is so corrupt!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xiangdong also frowned. People like this would definitely be arrested and dealt with as bullies in the capital.

However, such scenes are too common. In the streets and alleys, the actions of loving couples can often be captured. Some bold couples even indulge in physical actions that go beyond the limit. "How can this be?" The elderly group leader asked unbearably. "It's indeed a bit too much!" Wei Dong muttered in a low voice.

Xiao Junnian curled his lips indifferently. Although he realized something in his heart, he did not say it out loud.

Ye Chuan felt that this was perfectly normal. He would not even be surprised when Xiao Jun urinated in a corner when he was young, but he would never express his thoughts out loud.

In his eyes, he no longer trusted anyone except Chen Xiangdong and his other two companions.

Because the consequences four years from now will be extremely serious - if others remember him.

Huang Weiqiang probably cursed in his heart as a "bumpkin", but on the surface, he still restrained himself and explained the unique features and layout of each floor to everyone as they walked.

Department stores in Hong Kong are in the process of full development, but are only just beginning to show their potential.

Ruixing Department Store is not considered low-end in Hong Kong Island, and the products are expensive, which is beyond the affordability of ordinary workers.

The customers here, even if they cannot be said to be wealthy, are at least the top white-collar workers in various companies.

Many ladies were strolling on the street in miniskirts, which made Xiao Junnian overwhelmed. He stared at everyone who passed by. "Junnian, this place is really much better than other places!" Xiao Junnian sincerely praised Ye Chuan.

Ye Chuan said jokingly: "How about I take you to the bar tonight and take care of your physiological needs?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Junnian shook his head and responded: "Forget it, I don't have that much money. It costs money to please my wife!"

This made Ye Chuan couldn't help laughing. It turned out that he was worried about the money.

He leaned close to Xiao Junnian's whisper, sounding mysterious and excited: "There is a cheap place."

Xiao Junnian's eyes moved flexibly: "How cheap is it?"

Although Ye Chuan didn't know the exact price, the closer to the slums, the more likely it was that something like this would happen on the street. "I don't know, maybe 10 Hong Kong dollars would be enough."

For Xiao Junnian, ten Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to six or seven RMB, which is still within his psychological expectations. His eyes suddenly lit up. "Chuan'er, do you know the place?"

Ye Chuan was slightly surprised by the sudden question, but when he saw Xiao Junnian's serious face, he couldn't help but laugh secretly. "If you really want to go, I may not know the location, but there may be one in the nearby slums."

After hearing this, Xiao Junnian didn't ask any more questions, but a gleam of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Throughout the morning, the delegation conducted a detailed investigation and study at Ruixing Department Store, and the original half-hour tour time was extended to noon.

Huang Weiqiang explained the details of each link in detail without leaving anything out.

The inspection team members came from Beijing Material Recycling Company, Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative and two large department stores. They benefited a lot from this day's study.

As the manager of the first store of the department store, Wei Dong took notes of the key points of Huang Weiqiang's lecture and kept the essence in mind.

However, only Ye Chuan understood that these experiences were of no help to them, and it was unrealistic to want to reform one or two stores of the department store according to their imagination.

Nearing twelve o'clock, the inspection team finished visiting the last floor. Huang Weiqiang seemed to seek Ye Chuan's opinion and asked, "Mr. Ye, should we eat now?"

Ye Chuan was slightly surprised, then replied with a smile: "Manager Huang, it would be better if you discuss this matter with our Director Chen."

Huang Weiqiang nodded generously and apologized with a smile, then turned around to find Chen Xiangdong to discuss.

After the two men had a discussion, the group took the elevator to leave the building.

It was the first time for most of the team members in the elevator, and the feeling of lightness and weightlessness when going down especially made everyone scream.

Not far from Ruixing Department Store, there is a restaurant called Derulou, which is a high-end dining place.

Huang Weiqiang originally planned to book a more affordable restaurant, but after seeing Lei Luo, he immediately ordered to adjust the itinerary and dine at the high-end Derulou.

A table full of special dishes was served. Huang Weiqiang sat at the first seat, with Chen Xiangdong on his left and Ye Chuan on his right.

Ye Chuan certainly knew the meaning of the left guest of honor position - the most honorable seat, even though outsiders might not be clear about it.
