Chapter 175 Lu Yuanbo Arrives
Chapter 175 Lu Yuanbo Arrives
The Canton Fair has a dedicated warehouse to provide storage space for goods that are brought in for display and sale.
Because they had waited a long time for a table, Lu Yuanqing and his group rushed over after finishing their meal. Less than half an hour later, they saw the truck from Yu'an City.
"Brother, brother, Xiao Dong, Xiao Nan!!" Lu Yuanbo opened the car window, revealing half of his body, and began waving and shouting.
Seeing that he was in good spirits, Lu Yuanqing felt relieved.
Although he had been keeping an eye on things with the system, he was told to let him know as soon as possible if anything happened.
But everyone who reads this novel knows that the system is a bit useless. This thing doesn't do any projection or live streaming or anything like that. It doesn't say anything about the situation at all, making it seem like it doesn't care at all.
In reality, it's useless. Lu Yuanqing told it to "tell me if anything happens," but it strictly adhered to the rule of "not saying a word unless there's something wrong."
This time, unlike the situation with buying piglets, the journey would take nearly four or five days, and Lu Yuanqing was worried that Lu Yuanbo would be exhausted to the point of being mentally impaired.
He's not exactly a bright man to begin with; if he becomes stupid again, who will he cry to?
The truck stopped at the entrance of the warehouse belonging to the Yu'an City Hot Pot Base Factory. Lu Yuanbo quickly opened the passenger door, jumped out, and walked towards Lu Yuanqing and the others.
Lu Mingnan was the first to hug him: "Fourth Uncle, I've finally seen you again!"
Lu Mingdong asked, "Fourth Uncle, are you tired from riding in the car?"
Lu Yuanqing kept patting his shoulder and asked with concern, "How was the journey? Did you eat? Are you tired?"
Lu Yuanbo is really in good spirits. He's a typical simple-minded person with well-developed limbs and excellent physical fitness.
He'd been making do on the road for days, but when he arrived he was still full of energy. "It's okay, I'm not tired. I've had lunch, haha. Xiao Nan, we haven't seen each other for a few days, but you're making it sound like we haven't seen each other in ages..."
In contrast to his energetic demeanor, Cheng He, who got out of the car, looked much more listless.
Looking at the people surrounded by the captain and Lu Ming, Lu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow. See, this is what it's really like to be on the truck for a few days, with exceptions like Lu Yuanbo.
Once the goods arrived, the unloading and moving into the warehouse began.
There are already quite a few participants in the Canton Fair, so the warehouses provided are naturally not very large.
Hot pot base comes in small packets, so it doesn't take up much space; it's just that there are a lot of them.
Lu Yuanqing and his group had few goods, but they took up a lot of space.
Lu Yuanqing felt embarrassed. Besides, he wasn't blind, and he could sense that the other party's employees seemed to dislike them, glaring at them several times.
Lu Yuanqing thought that no matter what, he had taken advantage of them, so he should at least try to get along with them well before the Canton Fair ended.
So, after he figured it out, he wanted to go and talk to the person in charge.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhao Zhongcai already talking to the other party's person in charge.
That was exactly the same way she usually interacted with Xing Shen.
A pang of sadness flashed through Lu Yuanqing's heart.
No one knows how Zhao Zhongcai managed to get it done, but in the end, the other party still assigned them a room.
Even the hotel they had booked in advance was very close to the venue.
So even though the other party's employees glared at them with dissatisfaction and looked like they wanted to say something, Lu Yuanqing and his team didn't say anything.
The person in charge was good; they stopped the employees when they tried to argue.
There are still more good people than bad these days.
Regardless of the reason—whether it was out of kindness, out of consideration for Xing Shen, or because they came from the same place—it didn't matter.
After all, it was Lu Yuanqing and his group who benefited.
Now that they had accommodation, the group breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Lu Yuanbo looked on with curiosity, "Brother, did you come here because you couldn't find a place to stay? Are you going to find someone else to share a room with?"
Lu Yuanqing: "..." He felt so heartbroken that he didn't want to mention it at all.
He doesn't want to talk about it, but others certainly do.
Zhao Zhongcai: "I've been looking for accommodation all morning, but I haven't found any. I almost thought I'd have to sleep on the streets again tonight."
"Again?" Cheng He asked, puzzled.
Lu Ming sighed, "That's right! We arrived last night and slept on the floor of the train station all night."
"Mmm!" Lu Mingnan also had something to complain about, "Fourth Uncle, you have no idea how many miles we walked today, but we still couldn't find a place to stay."
"The accommodations are full!" Lu Mingdong said coldly.
"So bad?" Lu Yuanbo and Cheng He exchanged a glance.
You have to understand, they spent the whole journey in the car, and the way they lived was, to put it mildly, quite remarkable, considering they were all laymen.
Only the person experiencing it knows the pain.
I originally thought that Lu Yuanqing and the others would be happier than us if they took the train, since they could stay in a hotel when they arrived.
To everyone's surprise, they ended up sleeping at the train station overnight.
No wonder Zhao Zhongcai was pulling at the person in charge, crying and shouting.
At the time, they felt deeply ashamed, but now Lu Yuanbo and Cheng He just want to give Zhao Zhongcai a thumbs up.
If it weren't for Zhao Zhongcai, would they also be dragging their weary bodies along the streets looking for a place to stay?
Lu Yuanqing didn't want to say anything more. Life was too hard, and there was no point in talking.
"Let's hurry up and go to the hotel to check the situation! See if anyone has taken over the hallway where we're staying. If not, we'll have to pay to reserve a few beds in the hallway!"
There are so many of them, one room isn't enough for them to sleep.
Moreover, they also have Gu Baoxia.
Girls can't possibly sleep with them!
Hearing Lu Yuanqing's words, the group of people silently quickened their pace.
Luckily, when we arrived at the hotel, we found that many of the corridors had already been set up with simple beds.
However, although beds have been set up at the entrance of the room booked by the hot pot base factory, it has not yet been rented out.
Lu Yuanqing immediately disregarded everything and paid for it.
A large group of people were gathered in a room.
Lu Yuanqing looked at the large bed and wanted to lie down.
But he looked at Lu Yuanbo and said, "You two go wash up and then come back and get a good night's sleep. You must be tired from the journey."
Cheng He, who was already in high spirits, nodded upon hearing this and went out to wash up.
Lu Yuanqing then turned to Zhao Zhongcai and the others, saying, "We'll just make do on the beds in the hallway outside. You can rest if you want, or go for a walk if you want, but don't go too far."
Zhao Zhongcai and his group naturally had no objections.
To be honest, among their group, probably only Gu Baoxia and Lu Yuanqing would mind sleeping in the corridor.
One of them is a girl, and it would be embarrassing to sleep so openly outside in broad daylight with so many people coming and going.
Lu Yuanqing, on the other hand, still harbored that lingering affectation in his heart.
He's a second-generation rich kid from a demolished property; when has he ever suffered like this?
You should know that nowadays, hotels don't have bathrooms or sinks in the rooms; everything is in the hallway outside the door.
So now there are beds in the hallway, so you're sleeping on the left side of the hallway while others are brushing their teeth, washing their faces, and washing their feet on the right side.
And because there's space to walk around after the bed is placed there, it's amazing!
When someone gets tired of brushing their teeth, they don't even need to move; they just plop down on your bed.
That's the only condition.
The beds in the hallway are just there so that you won't be too tired when you rest at night.
Lu Yuanqing and the others all left the room, leaving it for Lu Yuanbo and Cheng He to rest.
Sitting on the bed by the door, Lu Yuanqing looked at Gu Baoxia, wondering how to find her a suitable place to stay.
