Unlike some specific places, where car bombs or suicide attacks happen so often that your ears are callused from hearing about them;
But a sudden explosion in the country still had a huge impact. Although it did not cause any casualties, all parties took it very seriously.
As a result, in order to maintain the on-site evidence collection, a lot of time would be wasted, and it would be impossible to restore the renovation of the bookstore in a short period of time.
Qu Mingming visited Zhou Ze the next day. Seeing that Zhou Ze was not in a good spirit, he took his pulse and prescribed some prescriptions to replenish his qi and blood as well as regulate his mind.
He was about to discuss the transfer of the property, but was stopped by Zhou Zexian, who told him that he would be going on a long trip recently and to wait until he came back to discuss it. Qu Mingming agreed.
After finally getting his boss's consent to move out for a walk, Lawyer An immediately booked a flight to Tengchong. However, because Tongcheng Airport and Tengchong's Hump Airport are both small airports, it is impossible to go directly to Tengchong from Tongcheng and he has to transfer in Kunming.
Lawyer An discussed with Zhou Ze the candidates for the trip to Yunnan.
The last time he went to Shanghai, Lawyer An stayed in the bookstore. This time the operation was arranged and planned by him, so he must go.
Xu Qinglang also wanted to go. After all, he was a chef and Boss Zhou didn’t want to be too harsh on his stomach.
Yingying had to go with him as well. Zhou Ze’s body had not recovered yet and he needed someone to take care of him. At the same time, he also needed to sleep.
The little boy was arranged to stay in the bookstore because Gou Xin and his three friends were being treated in the pharmacy next door, and the black girl needed someone to look after her here.
With the little boy's strength, it is more than enough for him to be in charge here.
Lawyer An specifically asked Yingying to bring some more of his favorite coffee, as he couldn't sleep during this period.
As for the little Lolita, Liu Chuyu, Lao Zhang and other ghost messengers under Zhou Ze, none of them were brought along this time. After all, this was not a team-building trip organized by the bookstore, so quality of soldiers is more important than quantity.
The old Taoist held the little monkey in his arms.
He clamored to go together.
at last,
Zhou Ze and Lawyer An rejected it without hesitation.
What Lawyer An meant was that the bookstore still needed a trustworthy person to look after it. After the investigation was completed, they would have to organize the renovation of the bookstore. Others could not be trusted and would not be able to do the job well. Only an experienced person could be the most reassuring.
The old Taoist heard this.
I was very happy.
I just think that the boss values and trusts him.
Without further ado, the next day at noon, Lawyer An took two taxis and took everyone to Tongcheng Airport.
It’s not that I don’t want to drive my own car, but the two vehicles that the bookstore usually keeps outside were written off in the explosion the day before yesterday.
Lawyer An and Xu Qinglang didn't care much.
Lawyer An is rich. He has given Yingying hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy coffee for him.
This made Yingying a "big customer" in the eyes of Nestlé agents in the region.
As for Xu Qinglang, although the housing prices in Tongcheng have dropped a lot recently, Xu Qinglang's personal wealth has shrunk by nearly 20%, but after all, the base is there, so he can take it easy.
The three of them also got together to discuss what model of new car to buy.
As for why there are three people,
Because there is another Yingying,
Yingying has been thinking about buying a car for her boss for a long time.
Zhiyeying has invested in many places this year.
Although she had lost a lot of money in real estate due to the recent bad situation, she didn't buy the house for appreciation and speculation, but simply wanted to compete with Xu Qinglang's 23 houses.
Anyway, she has a lot of burial objects, and it would be more than enough to exchange any one of them for a luxury car.
Now she knew why her burial objects were so rich. Mrs. Bai was not a lady from a scholarly family, but a female general in the Taiping Uprising, the Jade-faced Rakshasa. It was natural for her to have a wealthy fortune.
After such a noisy journey, we finally arrived at Tongcheng Airport.
Tongcheng Airport is very small and compact. Except for a few boarding gates where passengers can board directly, most flights require passengers to take a shuttle bus to board the plane.
The crowd did not rush to go through security check. After getting off the bus, they stood at the door and smoked. After all, it would be inconvenient to smoke after entering.
Yingying stood by and watched the gifts. Although Lawyer An said that this was not a trip and Tengchong was the destination but not the end, Yingying still prepared a lot of gifts.
Anyway, she was very strong and could carry seven or eight suitcases easily by herself, so Lawyer An didn't say anything else. He also knew that this female zombie couldn't bear to see her boss suffer even the slightest bit in life.
Zhou Ze, Lawyer An and Xu Qinglang squatted at the airport gate, puffing smoke together.
"The airport in Tongcheng is a little too small, and there aren't many large planes."
Lawyer An complained because he only bought three first-class tickets, but there were four people here. There was no way, he had to sit in economy class today. It was not that the tickets were too tight, but some small passenger planes only had eight seats in the first-class cabin.
Zhou Ze agreed with what he said. Although Tongcheng cannot be considered southern Jiangsu, according to the old rules, although it is now called central Jiangsu, it can also be considered northern Jiangsu.
Outsiders have heard the saying that southern Jiangsu is rich and northern Jiangsu is poor. This is true and not true. Northern Jiangsu's economy is indeed not as good as southern Jiangsu's, but that depends on who you compare it with. You have to know that in Jiangsu Province, in terms of GDP, the provincial capital Nanjing can only rank behind Suzhou and Wuxi.
Any "poor" city in northern Jiangsu would be at an upper-middle level compared with other provinces. For example, Tongcheng's GDP ranking is higher than Xi'an's, but not only is its airport small, its high-speed trains were only opened a few years ago, and its subway is just being built.
"The weather is bad today."
Xu Qinglang said helplessly,
"Let's hope it's sunny in Yunnan."
There is smog sweeping across the city these days, and it is still gray above the city.
"Damn it, no, this smog isn't that choking."
Lawyer An waved his hands. He was really choked.
Look up and look around.
really,
It's not smog.
People who are used to living in cities have long developed resistance to smog. Breathing smog is just like breathing oxygen, just like eating whole grains for a more comprehensive nutritional experience.
The reason why it is so choking,
Because on the opposite side of the road,
Several people were burning paper money there.
Three women, with four children beside them, took an iron pot and started burning something.
There were a few airport security guards watching nearby. Although they urged them to leave quickly, they did not stop them from burning paper.
"What are you doing?" Lawyer An was a little speechless. "Are you burning paper at the airport?"
"Brother, lend me a light."
A man walked up to Zhou Ze and said.
Zhou Ze's eyes narrowed and he glanced at the person next to him, but he still handed the lighter to him.
It is common for smokers to borrow lighters at the airport gate, after all, they have to throw away the lighters in their pockets when entering and leaving the airport.
Lawyer An glanced at him and saw that he was wearing work clothes. He smiled and said:
"Do you work there?"
The direction Lawyer An pointed to was opposite the airport, where the new Tongcheng Airport was under construction, and the airport elevated road in the distance had also been completed.
"right."
The middle-aged man nodded.
He took a deep puff of cigarette.
He spat it out heavily again.
"It's time to get off work, so just go home. Why are you hanging around outside?"
Lawyer An asked.
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "It's not that I don't know the rules, I just wanted to go back. I went back once yesterday and found that something happened there, and it was a mess. I didn't go in, so I went back to the construction site to hang out."
"Don't wander around, be careful of accidents." Lawyer An said.
"Hey, I know, I know. There are a few co-workers here who I'm on good terms with, so I wanted to spend more time with them."
Lawyer An didn't say anything else, just looked at Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze looked at the women and children who were burning paper money.
Several airport security guards were already urging people to leave.
This is an airport after all, and there is really not much they can tolerate. Tolerating them to come in and burn paper is already breaking the rules.
A few men came to the women and seemed to be trying to comfort them and tell them not to be sad.
Zhou Ze pursed his lips.
Xu Qinglang said:
"I remembered the five migrant workers I met when I first opened the Wuzhou International store."
Zhou Ze nodded, he had thought of that as well.
The five migrant workers came to his shop and sat on the floor reading novels for a long time.
Zhou Ze once squatted with them at the door of the store to smoke and listened to them talk about their wives and children and their fields.
It was only later that I learned from the newspaper that they were heroes who died while entering a burning residential building to rescue people.
"Any wishes?"
Zhou Ze asked.
The man who borrowed the lighter nodded and said, "I'm not married, and my parents passed away early. The money I earned from working in the past few years is all in a card, which I hid in a place.
This is all my hard-earned money. I am so frugal that I don't want to spend it. I beg you to do me a favor. I will tell you my card and password. Please help me withdraw the money and donate it."
Zhou Ze nodded.
"I agree."
"That's great, thank you."
At this time, the women and children were still driven away by the airport security. There was no quarrel or fight, and both sides were polite to each other.
Several men who were originally there comforting the women and children came over and greeted the person who had borrowed a lighter from Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze clapped his hands, looked at the middle-aged man who had just spoken, and asked, "Do you know the place?"
"Yes, I have been there."
"Take your coworkers with you. I have to go out for something. Someone will receive you there. Please talk to the old Taoist priest there about your request."
"I understand."
Lost the cigarette butt,
The man called several of his co-workers and left together. There were four of them in total. Their backs gradually walked away and became blurred.
Zhou Ze instructed Yingying:
"Send a message to the little girl, and ask her to go to the bookstore and entertain these people. Give them a good send-off."
After that,
Zhou Ze also dropped his cigarette butt.
Stand up,
I stretched my body.
road:
"It's getting late, let's go through security."
… … …
This chapter is actually a bit boring, Long knows it.
Long just returned to Tongcheng a few days ago and his father came to pick him up at the airport. Long looked at the new airport under construction and sighed that a big airport was finally going to be built. He was really fed up with this small airport.
His father said that four construction workers were killed here a few days ago because of the collapse of scaffolding. Long felt heavy-hearted when he heard this.
Life is not easy, and I sincerely hope that everyone can be healthy and safe.
