Chapter 92

Wei Shan wanted a bottle of Tongshui white wine. Xiao Yuanhang, who was used to drinking low-alcohol white wine in the future, was quite intimidated by this 60-degree Tongshui white wine. He knew that the specialty of Guhe, Dahongliang, had 48 degrees, so he said in a consultative tone, "Sister, the alcohol content of Tongshui white wine is too high, I'm not used to it. Let's have a bottle of 48-degree Dahongliang, okay?"

Wei Shan didn't know how much white wine Xiao Yuanhang could drink. His words clearly indicated that he couldn't drink much. She also knew that her sister Wei Wei couldn't drink white wine at all. Seeing Wei Wei's determination to drink, she feared that she might drink too much and damage her stomach with the high alcohol content. A lower alcohol content would be better. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say!"

"Waiter, bring us a bottle of 48-degree Dahongliang!" Wei Shan shouted to the waiter near the bar.

"Sure, coming right up!" The waiter responded, took the bottle of Dahongliang from the bar, and opened it.

After pouring the wine, Wei Shan gave a general toast to express gratitude, and the three of them started chatting while drinking. Although Xiao Yuanhang tried hard to find topics to chat with Wei Wei, Wei Shan kept asking questions, and he couldn't avoid answering. The topics were very sensitive, such as, "Do you have a girlfriend?" "What kind of girlfriend do you want?" "Do you hope your future partner is career-oriented or family-oriented?" The more Wei Wei heard, the more uncomfortable she felt, and the more uncomfortable she felt, the more she drank. After one glass, she was so drunk that she fell asleep on the table...

Wei Shan didn't expect this to happen. She couldn't continue drinking and had to end the gathering hastily. Xiao Yuanhang went to the bar to pay the bill, but the boss lady behind the bar said it had already been paid. Clearly, Wei Shan had paid the bill early to avoid him paying, but Xiao Yuanhang didn't see when she did it.

They called a cart, and Xiao Yuanhang helped Wei Shan carry Wei Wei onto the cart. He accompanied them to the front door of their house and helped Wei Shan carry Wei Wei into the courtyard before leaving. Wei Shan found it a bit difficult to carry Wei Wei alone, but she couldn't suddenly enter their home and meet their parents at this time. Wei Shan had no such intention, and bringing Wei Wei to the courtyard was the limit.

The next morning, Xiao Yuanhang called Zhao Bingnan from Linquan at the section office, using the party office phone. The party assistant, Yuan Wenli, was holding a notebook and a pen, about to record the party committee meeting. Seeing Xiao Yuanhang, she said, "Xiao Yuanhang, your train conductor appointment has been approved by the division. You are now a formal cadre. The personnel order will be issued to you in the next day or two."

Xiao Yuanhang was very happy, "That's great! Thank you, Sister Yuan!"

Yuan Wenli said, "You don't need to thank me. This is the result of your own efforts. Work hard. I have to go to the meeting now." She opened the door and left.

After finishing the call with Zhao Bingnan, Xiao Yuanhang was about to leave when the publicity assistant, Wu Yue, said, "Xiao Yuanhang, there's an article written by Zhang Kai from the second team. The story is good, but the writing is terrible. I have a report to submit and no time to revise it. Can you help me improve it?"

"Is my level good enough?" Xiao Yuanhang asked humbly.

"Of course, don't be so formal with me," Wu Yue said.

"Okay, if I do a bad job, don't blame me!" Xiao Yuanhang smiled, took the article from Wu Yue, and sat at Yuan Wenli's desk to read it. The article was as bad as Wu Yue said, with a good story but terrible writing, far from meeting the basic requirements for publication.

Revising the article was more challenging than writing it. Xiao Yuanhang spent over an hour revising it, then copied it neatly onto manuscript paper and showed it to Wu Yue. Wu Yue was very satisfied, praised Xiao Yuanhang, and gave him a few sheets of manuscript paper as a reward.

Xiao Yuanhang then went to the fleet to check if there was anything to do. Seeing nothing, he left the train section and headed home. After all this, it was already 10:30. Walking past the railway hospital, he naturally thought of Jiang Shan. He had calculated that she would be on night duty tonight and planned to visit her later. But as he approached the hospital gate, he suddenly saw Jiang Shan in civilian clothes walking out of the hospital.

Xiao Yuanhang stopped in his tracks. Jiang Shan looked up and saw Xiao Yuanhang standing at the gate, and she walked over quickly with a pleasant surprise, "Xiao Yuanhang, are you off duty?"

"Yes, I came back the day before yesterday. I calculated that you would be on night duty tonight and planned to visit you," Xiao Yuanhang said.

"I am on night duty tonight. The hospital organized a business study session this morning, which just ended. I went to the ward to get a book, or we wouldn't have met," Jiang Shan said.

"Are you free now?" Xiao Yuanhang hadn't invited Jiang Shan out for a while. A chance encounter was better than a planned meeting, and he wouldn't let this opportunity slip.

Jiang Shan had already developed feelings for Xiao Yuanhang. She missed him when they didn't see each other for a while, though she wasn't sure if this was love. Whenever she had free time, she naturally thought of him. Her tone of voice had already revealed her thoughts. Seeing Xiao Yuanhang ask, she knew he was inviting her and said happily, "I'm free. I would just be reading at home."

"Come, I'll take you somewhere," Xiao Yuanhang said.

"Where?" Jiang Shan couldn't help but ask.

"You'll see when we get there!" Xiao Yuanhang said.

The railway hospital was not far from the Tiedong Street Office, about a seven or eight-minute walk. Wang Dahai and Xiaoqiang had gone to Linquan to buy goods, so no one was there. Xiao Yuanhang brought Jiang Shan to this place, opened the small gate, and gestured for her to come in.

Jiang Shan didn't think much of it and stepped in, then asked, "Xiao Yuanhang, where are we?"

Xiao Yuanhang closed the small gate and looked at Jiang Shan, "Recently, I've been doing some pine nut business with Wang Dahai. We rented this place as a warehouse. They all went to the mountains to buy goods today, so no one is here."

Hearing that no one was there, Jiang Shan's face turned red. She increasingly enjoyed being with Xiao Yuanhang, but apart from the cinema and restaurants, there was nowhere else to go. The cinema and restaurants were public places, not private spaces, giving a sense of sneaking around...

Xiao Yuanhang opened the door to his small office and saw that Jiang Shan was still standing there. He said, "Jiang Shan, why are you still standing there? Come in and sit down."

Xiao Yuanhang's words made Jiang Shan snap back to reality. Her face turned even redder, and she lowered her head as she followed Xiao Yuanhang into the room. Xiao Yuanhang gestured to the swivel chair behind the desk, "Please sit! What do you think of my office?"

"Your office?" Jiang Shan was surprised and looked curiously at the room's layout, feeling very puzzled.

Xiao Yuanhang took out a soda, opened it, and handed it to Jiang Shan, saying, "I plan to register a nut company soon. A company needs an office, so this small office is for me, and the larger one is for Wang Dahai and the others."

Jiang Shan asked, "How much can you earn from the nut business to rent such a large yard?"

Xiao Yuanhang smiled, "Although we don't earn much, it gives Wang Dahai and the others something to do. With something to do, they won't have time to cause trouble!"
