"Why not go through the post office?" Chief Li asked curiously.

"One is that the conditions do not allow it. Yellow croaker needs a frozen environment, and ordinary express delivery does not have this condition;

The second is that it may not be in time. Mindong City is too far away from us. Even if we go through the post office, it may not be able to arrive in ten days or half a month."

Director Cao put on his glasses and continued to explain:

"The last reason is that this batch of goods is a borderline ball. It will have a bad impact if it is exposed. Now people all over the country are tightening their belts to live, and we can't hold them back."

"How many days will the business trip last?" Xu Dong asked with a bitter face.

No need to ask, he will definitely not be able to escape this business trip. According to Chief Li's usual statement, this is called accumulating qualifications to pave the way for future succession.

"Today is the 2nd, leaving tomorrow morning, and must be back on the 5th." Director Cao said decisively.

Xu Dong took out his mobile phone, clicked on Penguin Map to check, and then complained: "Only three days? Isn't it too short? It will take several days to go back and forth?"

"You take the high-speed rail, and the truck has been arranged there. Two days is enough for the return." Director Cao waved his hand.

"How big is the truck, and how many people can sit in it?"

"With more than a thousand kilograms of goods, what kind of truck do you want? I asked for you, and the truck cab can seat five people, Lao Wang, the driver, and the three of you, just right."

"Isn't this too crowded?"

"No need to rush at night, only ten hours during the day, just bear with it."

The domestic security environment is generally good, but it is limited to major cities. The vast rural areas outside the cities are actually abandoned.

It's okay during the day, there are more vehicles on the road, and there are regular patrols, but at night, the risk will increase exponentially.

"Do you need to bring a gun?" Chief Li asked in a low voice.

Director Cao slapped the table and said unhappily: "You are talking nonsense. Why would I ask you to go without a gun? Are you going to stare at the northwest wind?"

"Uncle Cao, it should be the southeast wind." Xu Dong joked.

"Okay, don't be so frivolous with me. Go back and prepare. The high-speed rail tickets for 8 o'clock tomorrow morning must be gathered at the company before 7 o'clock."

"Okay."

Back in Chief Li's office, Xu Dong half-lay on the sofa: "Uncle Li, who are you going to send except me?"

"Let's just send Lao Fang and Xiao Gu!"

"Lao Fang..." Xu Dong said in surprise.

Chief Li interrupted: "If it weren't for his wife's pregnancy, how could he have such a good opportunity?"

"Good opportunity? What's good about it?" Xu Dong was full of questions.

"We have the channels and the transportation vehicles. Won't you smuggle some private goods?" Chief Li reminded.

"Is this okay?" Xu Dong sat up immediately.

Section Chief Li smiled and said, "Why not? Remember to bring a copy for me and Lao Cao. You can decide the price yourself and buy as much as possible."

"You can buy it with money?" Xu Dong exclaimed.

"Try it. Set a higher price. From what Lao Cao said, the company seems to have paid for it, but I don't know the specific price."

"Okay, if I can pay for it, I will definitely buy more."

Xu Dong nodded and agreed immediately.

...

The next morning, before seven o'clock.

Xu Dong dragged his suitcase to the company. In addition to clothes, cigarettes, alcohol and snacks, the rest of the suitcase was all packaged white sugar.

One pound per bag, a total of thirty bags.

It's not easy to go on a business trip. Just like Section Chief Li said, no matter what, you can't return empty-handed. Besides, the New Year is coming soon, and the supplies on the market are also abundant. This is a rare opportunity.

"Old Fang, did you bring your gun?"

Old Fang patted his waist: "I brought it, I can't forget it."

"What about you, Old Gu?"

Gu Haiyuan nodded. Although the man in front of him was younger than himself and had far less experience than himself, he became his immediate superior.

To be honest, his impression was quite complicated.

On the one hand, the other party did bring a lot of benefits to his colleagues in the security department. Everyone remembered his kindness, including him;

But on the other hand, the other party also completely cut off his future. In his lifetime, he basically had no chance of becoming a section chief. At most, he would be a deputy section chief.

It was fate, and he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

Section Chief Li clapped his hands: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's go!"

"Section Chief, drive my car. My car has a large space." Xu Dong suggested. Anyway, the business trip was only three days in total, and he drove here in the morning.

"Okay."

Section Chief Li took the car keys from Xu Dong.

After picking up Lao Wang and the driver at the South Gate, the group headed straight to Yanjing South Station. Section Chief Li drove steadily and arrived in less than half an hour.

As the Spring Festival was approaching, the train station was crowded with people.

Before entering the station, Section Chief Li pulled Xu Dong aside and told him: "Be careful on the road. If you really encounter an emergency, don't worry about the goods. The most important thing is to save your life."

"I know." Xu Dong nodded solemnly.

"After all, Lao Fang is old. You should take care of him more. It would be better if Xiao Xiang was here. This kind of business trip is more suitable for you young people."

"Xiang Xin can't be here either. She still needs to breastfeed her child!" Xu Dong sighed.

"You have to argue with me, right?" Section Chief Li patted the other person's shoulder, "Don't forget the yellow croaker, buy as much as you can. If you don't have enough money, remember to call me and I'll transfer the money to you."

"Don't worry, will I be short of money?"

"If you have other questions, you can also call me. I'm sure I have more connections than you."

Xu Dong nodded: "Remember."

"I've said everything I should say. You should hurry into the station and don't miss the time."

There is only one high-speed train from Yanjing to Mindong every day. If you miss it, you can only wait until the next day, or transfer, but the transfer ticket is not easy to buy.

After passing the security check smoothly, Xu Dong touched the police uniform on his body. Thanks to this "tiger skin", otherwise so much sugar might not pass the security check.

Sitting on the high-speed train, Lao Wang asked curiously: "Xiao Xu, why did the security inspector take you in just now?"

"It's okay, I brought a few more cigarettes, and they just asked routine questions." Xu Dong responded casually. This Lao Wang is mainly responsible for procurement work, and the two are not familiar with each other.

"You brought cigarettes?" Old Wang's throat moved up and down, and it was obvious that he was addicted to cigarettes.

Xu Dong smiled and explained: "Take it and prepare to exchange for something. When you get there, I'll get you a pack."

"Don't forget me!" Old Fang touched Xu Dong with his arm.

"Everything, one pack per person, is that okay?"

The driver Xiao Zheng hurriedly said: "Chief Xu, I don't need it."

Among the five people, he is the only one who is not a formal employee and the youngest. He looks no more than 27 or 28 years old.
