Chapter 196 September 1st and the Boat Ticket [Requesting Monthly Pass!]
"Aunt Liu is actually Brother Yong's mom, huh? She was just telling me yesterday that she wanted to introduce me to some girls," Su Xin commented.
"That... my mom works cleaning the division, she has nothing much to do all day, so she likes meddling in these matters. Please forgive her," Zhao Dayong said, somewhat embarrassed.
"It's actually a good thing, there's nothing to forgive," Mu Rufeng said.
"Right, do you want to rest a bit? It's also an hour to Shaosh City division," Mu Rufeng added.
"No worries, I can manage. When we head to the next place, someone else will drive," Zhao Dayong said.
...
An hour later, they arrived at the Shaosh City Wu Steel division.
It just so happened that the division chief's father was celebrating his birthday and had gone out to the countryside.
They waited there for a full hour before the person returned.
"Sorry, so sorry, truly sorry. The roads in the countryside are really rough, I apologize for the long wait," a man around thirty hurriedly got out of a Cadillac.
This was the Wu Steel division chief, Liu Changfeng.
"Minister Liu, we won't waste any more time. This matter needs to stay confidential, so..." Mu Rufeng, showing no particular emotion, spoke while glancing toward some people standing beside Liu Changfeng.
Beside Liu Changfeng stood a young woman, who was holding the hand of a five- or six-year-old girl.
Besides her, there was also a contractor who had let Mu Rufeng and his group rest in the lounge earlier.
Hearing this, Liu Changfeng's face fell, and he then turned to his wife: "Xiaohe, take Bao'er back to the car first, and Wang He, go get some watermelon for us."
"Sure, Minister Liu," Wang He nodded and immediately turned to leave.
"Alright, then I'll head back to the car too," Liu Changfeng's wife also nodded and then left the place with the child.
Mu Rufeng felt their departure and promptly pulled out the Login Bracelet.
"What is this?" Liu Changfeng eyed Mu Rufeng with confusion.
"Just take a look at the properties and you'll know," Mu Rufeng said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Changfeng took the bracelet in his hand.
Instantly, Liu Changfeng's pupils contracted sharply.
"Bind it, Minister Liu. Also, this matter needs to be kept confidential for now," Mu Rufeng said.
"My God, it's actually, actually... Mysterious Affairs Bureau is awesome, headquarters is awesome!" Liu Changfeng swallowed hard and loudly praised, then without hesitating, completed the binding.
Seeing the bracelet tattoo appear, Mu Rufeng nodded.
"Minister Liu, we're pressed for time. We need to head to the next division, so we'll leave first. If the bracelet gets damaged, remember to report it to Changsha Headquarters," Mu Rufeng said.
"I understand. By the way, Mr. Mu, let me have your contact information. If there's any trouble in my jurisdiction, you can contact me," Liu Changfeng quickly said.
Mu Rufeng didn't say much and simply added him on WeChat using his phone.
Having these people in his territory wasn't insignificant, and having contact information handy was quite beneficial.
Moreover, distributing such important Login Bracelets, everyone would owe Mu Rufeng a favor.
Soon, the group headed downstairs.
"I'll drive this time," Lan Hui quickly stepped into the driver's seat.
"Watermelon, watermelon," suddenly, they saw Wang He jogging from the building.
In his hands, he was carrying a large bag of cut and boxed fruit.
"Mr. Mu, there's not much to offer you, just take some fruit,"
Liu Changfeng, seeing this, immediately took the fruit from Wang He's hands and then approached the minivan, passing them through the window to Mu Rufeng.
"Then we won't hold back," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
Immediately afterward, Lan Hui started the vehicle and drove away.
"Brother Mu, where are we heading now?" Lan Hui asked.
Mu Rufeng checked the time and realized it was already 1 am.
"Let's head to Yongcheng first," Mu Rufeng said.
"Okay," Lan Hui nodded, but quickly remembered something, "Uh, Brother Mu, I don't have the location..."
"I sent it to you, I stored the locations of the divisions within the province," Zhao Dayong said from the backseat.
"Dayong always handles things well," Mu Rufeng commended.
"There's quite a distance, takes about two hours and forty minutes," Lan Hui said.
"So if you get tired from driving, switch drivers. Don't push yourself; we have to drive overnight," Mu Rufeng said.
"Got it, Brother Mu," Lan Hui responded cheerfully.
"Here, have some fruit. Two boxes of watermelon, two of cantaloupe, and one box each of peaches and lychees."
...
At around 4 am, Mu Rufeng and his group arrived at Yongcheng Headquarters.
The guard, seeing it was Mu Rufeng's car, waved them through without a word.
Mu Rufeng rolled down the window and called out to the guard, "Not taking a nap at this hour?"
"Hey, I'm quite alert. But, Mr. Mu, why are you back again? I thought you had just returned to Changsha Headquarters today," the guard asked curiously.
"Just some business. Is Director Zhou around?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Director Zhou isn't in; he went to Dao County. They just established a division there, he's handling business. Right now, Team Mei is inside."
"Feels like Team Mei is practically living at the headquarters," Mu Rufeng chuckled.
After parking, Mu Rufeng said to the three of them, "We've been driving a while. If you need to use the restroom, go ahead. If you're thirsty, there's water in the fridge in the first-floor lobby."
"Sure, Brother Mu."
