Chapter 42 The road is long and long

It would not look good to take several hundred dollars, so it would be better not to take it. Cui Changjia asked him to leave directly. Anyway, he had to come to Yutang City again, so he could take another walk then.

Cui Changjia asked Cui Chengze to go to Niu Zhian and wait for her first. When Cui Chengze heard that Niu Zhian didn't want that batch of goods, he was very angry and said that Niu Zhian was dishonest.

When Cui Changjia arrived outside Niu Zhian Furniture City, Cui Chengze was squatting on the side of the road waiting for her, with a shy look on his face and a look of resentment.

Cui Changjia told him not to be so emotional. He had already paid the compensation, so why did he care about how much?
She asked Cui Chengze to wait outside while she went to return the deposit to Niu Zhian.

Niu Zhian took the money and said, "When your factory is built again and you have suitable furniture, we will contact you again."

Cui Changjia said sincerely, "Okay, we'll contact you then, Mr. Niu, thank you."

I will say polite words as long as I want to.

After leaving Mr. Niu’s furniture store, Cui Changjia stopped and looked back. The neon billboards were already flashing in the twilight.

In the flashing light, Cui Changjia raised her head, and the slightly cold wind blew the strands of hair at her temples into flight, making the coldness on her face even more severe. In this life again, their family would never be controlled by others again, absolutely not!

Because he had to deliver goods to Song Xiuting, Cui Changjia was afraid of the long night and many troubles, so he rushed back to the provincial capital with Cui Chengze that night. However, after driving for more than two hours, fog came up on the highway. The two did not dare to drive forward, so they found a service area nearby and curled up in the car for the night. Fortunately, they had the cotton-padded clothes bought by Cui Changjia, otherwise, who knows how torturous the night would have been.

This time, when delivering goods to Fengcheng County in Yu Tang, Cui Changjia still called the logistics vehicle from Tao Lei. Before calling, Cui Changjia had already agreed with Tao Lei that they must collect money this time.

Cui Changjia went to Yu Tang to deliver the goods and did not let Cui Chengze follow him. After all, the factory could not be left to the foreman alone. It would not work without someone watching.

Even though Song Xiuting had asked for a very low price, she was very happy to receive the goods. There were indeed two pieces of furniture in this batch that were accidentally bumped and had their paint chipped, but Song Xiuting was very generous and did not deduct any money. She paid the money very happily. The total price was more than 51,900 yuan, and she rounded it up to 52,000 yuan.

After unloading the goods and collecting the payment, Cui Changjia paid the freight to the driver of Tao Lei's fleet and sent them back, but she did not leave Yutang City. She drove the car to a sparsely populated place, got into the back seat, locked the car, covered her head with her coat, and fell asleep.

After spending the night on the highway, she drove back home at four in the morning when the sky was just beginning to get light.

Find people to load, follow and unload goods. Except for lunch, Cui Changjia doesn't even have time to catch his breath. The machine has to stop and rest after running for a long time, let alone people?

If she doesn't rest, she will be ruined.

Cui Changjia was woken up by a phone call.

The number was not saved, and Cui Changjia didn't know who it was. He sat up and answered the phone, "Hello, who is this?"

The other party paused, "I, Zhou Qingyan!"

Cui Changjia then came to her senses. Thinking of the six dry words she said that day, she let out a breath and tried to calm her mind.

"Cui Changjia?" Not hearing Cui Changjia's response, Zhou Qingyan on the opposite side called out again.

"I'm here, Mr. Zhou," Cui Changjia said with enough coldness in his tone, "Thank you for helping me arrange the logistics vehicle."

No one with self-respect wants to lose face in front of the person he likes.

Hearing Cui Changjia's voice, Zhou Qingyan's tone was a little careless, "Why should I pay an extra 3,000 yuan for shipping?"

It was quite quiet over there on Zhou Qingyan's side, so quiet that only his voice could be heard.

Tao Lei quoted two thousand yuan for Yu Tang's freight this time. The journey from Zhoucheng to Yu Tang is even farther than the last trip to Qiaotou County. How could it be only two thousand yuan? It's easy to tell that Tao Lei is taking care of them.

Cui Changjia didn't like to owe others, especially in business dealings, so Cui Changjia gave an extra three thousand yuan. This money included not only the shipping fee, but also the money Zhou Qingyan paid for helping him buy clothes last time.

"You guys have helped me enough, I can't let you pay for it anymore."

Zhou Qingyan said gently, "Business is business, friendship is friendship, give me your bank card number."

Friendship is friendship?
Cui Changjia thought to himself, what kind of friendship could there be between them?

"Really, no need. I don't need money now. I'm already very grateful that you can help me."

Listening to Cui Changjia's official and distant explanation, Zhou Qingyan suddenly felt disconnected from the girl in his memory who always kept her head down, shy and at a loss. Was it her?
Zhou Qingyan was silent for a moment, "Where are you now?"

"I haven't returned to Yu Tang yet."

"Okay, then call me when you get back and I'll send the money back to you."

"No need."

"Cui Changjia," Zhou Qingyan called Cui Changjia's name slowly, "Don't we have any friendship as classmates?"

This sentence made Cui Changjia speechless. The word "classmate friendship" was so far away from her.

"Then I'll call you when I get back."

"Okay, it's settled."

After hanging up the phone, Cui Changjia looked up at himself in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but be lost in thought.

Whether he was seventeen or twenty-seven years old, the word "good-looking" seemed to have always been far away from Cui Changjia. At most, he was just a little handsome.

And it is even worse now. At the age of twenty-seven, there are still no wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her eyes are full of vicissitudes and fatigue!
Cui Changjia took a deep breath, turned the key and started the car. It doesn’t matter if it’s ugly. As long as things get better at home, everything will be fine!
Cui Changjia randomly found a barber shop to wash his hair, and used the water to wash his face, applied a layer of moisturizer, tied his hair up, and went back to collecting debts.

She had to continue looking for the boss she didn't find yesterday, and she also had to go to Boss Huang who asked them to collect the sales revenue themselves.

The road is long and far away, and I will search for it!
Until dusk fell, although Cui Changjia still did not see the boss he had not seen for a long time, he managed to get 10,000 yuan from Boss Huang, so he did not return empty-handed.

When they returned to Zhoucheng City, it was already past ten o'clock. Cui Changjia was so tired that his arms and back ached, so he went to the hospital.

Cui Wenquan had already fallen asleep, and Cui Changjia went to see Cui Xiuyuan again. Cui Xiuyuan was excited and surprised to see Cui Changjia.

Cui Xiuyuan's wounds healed very well. Some of the small exposed wounds on the surface had begun to fall off, revealing pink skin. After not seeing him for three days, he looked visibly more energetic.

He has already dismissed the caregiver and is determined not to spend a penny more.

When Cui Changjia came, he got out of bed and used his crutches to make milk powder for Cui Changjia. Cui Changjia wanted to do it himself, and he was very angry.
