Time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was the end. Today was Ye Fangfei's last day at work. Although the sales staff at the goods building were on a rotating schedule, Ye Fangfei and her colleagues, being part of the logistics team, did not need to be on duty, so they were still able to take their holiday.
There wasn't much to do at work today; all the accounts had been settled, and the benefits had already been distributed yesterday. Today was just about collecting what they were entitled to before heading home.
"Xiao Ye, you’re going back to your hometown now, right?" Wang Dan asked.
"Yes, my parents have been looking forward to our return for a long time," Ye Fangfei replied as she packed her belongings into a bag, preparing to load them onto the back rack of her bicycle.
"Be careful when you get back. Don’t think that everyone in the countryside is simple and kind-hearted. Also, with your in-laws, just keep it casual. Don’t get too involved or spoil them," Wang Dan advised. After spending several months together, she had grown fond of Ye Fangfei's personality. They got along well, and now that she knew Ye Fangfei would be following Tang Zhi back home, she was worried about her getting taken advantage of.
"I know, Dan Jie. My in-laws seem alright for now," Ye Fangfei reassured her.
"I'm just saying this because I care. If they overstep their bounds, I won't let them get away with it either," Wang Dan said. Ye Fangfei understood that Wang Dan was looking out for her; if it weren't for their friendship, she wouldn't have said these things.
After chatting for a bit longer, they each headed home.
On the way back, the snow had yet to melt. Ye Fangfei didn’t dare ride her bike with her load and instead pushed it along the road.
When she arrived home, Tang Zhi had not yet returned. The transport team had been quite busy these past couple of days, helping various institutions and factories move goods.
Every major unit had to distribute some benefits to their staff. With so many purchases being made, figuring out how to transport everything back became a significant issue.
Naturally, this responsibility fell on the transport team. Since they were all brother units, when one faced difficulties, the others would step in to help. It was also a good opportunity; everyone wanted to pitch in because if you drove a truck to assist someone, they would surely show their appreciation.
Especially since these units weren’t short on funds. For instance, during these few days of helping out, Tang Zhi had already brought back quite a bit of stuff.
For example, when he helped out at a shoe factory, he came back with two pounds of flour, two cans of oranges, and half a pound of dried shrimp. This was part of the benefits from the shoe factory for the holiday season; by assisting with transporting goods, Tang Zhi also received his share.
In addition to these, Tang Zhi also brought back two pairs of leather shoes. Although they had some minor flaws, they were still wearable. He bought them with his own hard-earned money.
Thanks to this trip to help transport goods, Tang Zhi got to know the purchasing agent from the shoe factory. The two hit it off well and became friends in just one short day of interaction. Of course, it could be that both sides had something to gain from this connection.
Tang Zhi believed that having more friends meant more opportunities; meeting new people could never be a bad thing. Besides, anyone who could be a purchasing agent must have outstanding connections and abilities, which might come in handy in the future.
Perhaps the purchasing agent thought similarly? After all, knowing a driver friend like Tang Zhi was quite impressive in its own right.
Regardless of the reasons, the two had established a connection. The shoes were purchased with the help of the agent.
Along with these items, Tang Zhi also brought back two pounds of oil, two pounds of meat, two pounds of snacks, and a can of luncheon meat, which he received from the slaughterhouse. Originally, there was also half a pound of mushrooms, but since he had plenty at home, Tang Zhi decided not to take them and instead gave them to the purchasing agent from the meat processing plant.
