Chapter 312 Heading to the Capital! (4.6K)

There may seem to be a lot of things to do, but in reality, as long as you manage your time properly, there shouldn't be any major problems.

However, time was too tight; Chen Jingle was afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it in just five days.

The most urgent task is naturally to resolve the customer's orders.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to complete some of the orders some time ago, and now he only has four orders left besides Huang Xiaoming's five.

"Five days should be no problem."

The premise is that you perform normally and are in good form.

As for Chen Qiyun's tutoring and review, she has been very proactive in her studies this semester, has developed good study habits, and has studied everything she should have studied diligently.

It only requires a simple check and filling in of the gaps.

The travel itinerary already has a general direction; you just need to make appropriate additions. If all else fails, you can just set off and follow the initial itinerary, refining it as you travel.

Sometimes, overly detailed guides can actually reduce your freedom of choice; it's enough to have a general idea in mind.

As for luggage, if all else fails, we can pack it the night before departure. He doesn't have much to bring anyway; it's mainly Teacher Li who has a lot of stuff.

In one word, just do it!

Therefore, starting from July 1st, Chen Jingle worked at full speed, forcing himself into his best state to complete the customized content for clients as quickly as possible.

Because the classrooms were requisitioned for the high school entrance exam, Chen Qiyun was on vacation at home. When she had problems with her studies, I would answer her questions about the parts she was confused about.

"Your math skills are a bit weak."

Chen Jingle frowned when he noticed that she asked the most math questions: "It looks like you need to spend more time on this during the summer vacation to build a solid foundation in math, physics, and chemistry, so that you won't fall behind when you choose a physics major in high school."

As someone who has been through it all, he knows best what the consequences of poor grades in math, physics, and chemistry are.

"Oh~" Chen Qiyun pouted, not daring to refute.

Her talent in mathematics is indeed somewhat weaker.

As Chen Jingle said, his foundation was not solid enough, and he could not be called a genius; he could only rely on hard work.

I wasn't particularly resistant.

She now understands that doing well in school can indeed avoid a lot of trouble. At least at school, no one dares to bully her or cause her any trouble. All the teachers like her, and the leaders are counting on her to get good grades in the future.

These are all obvious benefits that good grades bring.

As long as she maintains good grades and completes her homework, her parents and grandparents won't say anything even if she watches TV or plays on her phone at home.

Conversely, if homework isn't done and grades suffer, even if you help with other things, you'll still get scolded.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Jingle was busy rushing to finish his manuscript.

At this moment, Chen Xiuyun sent a message: "Handsome, want to go out and play during summer vacation? /funny"

Chen Jingle was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Uh, I'm planning to go to the north with my teacher, Mr. Li, to escape the summer heat. Where are you going?"

Chen Xiuyun's eyes lit up on the other end of the internet: "That's right, I was thinking about whether to take my grandparents to the capital to see the city gate tower. Do you want to come along?"

"Who else is there besides you?" Chen Jingle asked curiously.

Chen Xiuyun replied: "No one else, just me, so I asked if you were free. I'm worried I can't take care of two elderly people by myself."

"Where is Yaoheng?"

"He has to go to work, he can't get time off."

"Have you used up all your annual leave?"

"Yes, and he just changed jobs and went for further studies for a while, so it's not easy for him to take leave at this time," Sister Xiu said.

Ok.

Chen Jingle thought for a moment: "Isn't June or July not a good time to go to Beijing? It's quite hot then."

Chen Xiuyun said helplessly, "But there's no other way. If I don't go now, I'll be starting a new job soon, and then I'll have even less time."

"Joined a new job? You changed jobs?" Chen Jingle asked in surprise.

Wasn't you doing well at the teachers' college? Why did you suddenly change jobs?
Chen Xiuyun replied: "Yeah, hehe."

"Where to?" Chen Jingle asked curiously.

Chen Xiuyun said, "Yinhu Subdistrict Office, Shigu District."

I go!

Chen Jingle exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? You passed the civil service exam?"

"Yes, it's already been announced." Sister Xiu replied with a smile.

Good guy!
There was absolutely no prior notice.

"Excellent, excellent!" Chen Jingle exclaimed. "The matter was accomplished in secrecy, that's impressive!"

Compared to civil servants, university positions are indeed somewhat inferior.

"Hehe, yes, my colleagues only found out when it came to the formal trial stage."

Chen Xiuyun said, "Although my colleagues are nice, some students, parents and leaders at the school are too stupid. The job of counselor is really hard for me. Since I have successfully passed the exam, I will resign and leave. The leader has approved it, but I have to wait until the end of this semester."

Chen Jingle was genuinely happy for her, but at the same time said, "Don't blame me for being pessimistic, but working at the grassroots level is probably not much better than what you did at school. At most, the overall income might be slightly higher."

Although he hadn't taken the exam, he had some knowledge of information.

Besides, he has a good friend, Liang Cheng, who has been admitted to the university for several years.

Life is like a giant walled city; those outside want to get in, and those inside want to get out.

Chen Xiuyun replied, "It's okay, I'm already mentally prepared."

Chen Jingle shook his head slightly.

Liang Cheng said the same thing back then. He knows better than anyone how he got through those five years. Every time they chatted and complained, he would comfort himself with "just hang in there" in the end.

Of course, in terms of working environment, the street offices, which are also at the grassroots level, are much better than the townships below.

Although it's only slightly better.

After all, the street itself is the city center, and life, transportation, and medical care are relatively convenient. As long as there is no demolition, the work is relatively easy.

Shigu District is a bit far from the main urban area of ​​Jiangbei, but it's not too bad.

If there is a certain level, townships have much more autonomy than subdistrict offices.

Sister Xiu has a master's degree and will receive a four-tier salary upon joining the company. As for her position, she shouldn't expect it anytime soon; we'll see if she can be selected again later.

If not, then we'll discuss it another time.

Returning to the topic of traveling to Beijing, Chen Jingle didn't immediately agree. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let me ask my family's opinion first. If we're going, we can all go together. I can't guarantee it will definitely happen; I'll get back to you later."

"Okay." Chen Xiuyun replied with an OK emoji.

……

When Li Beixing came home from get off work, Chen Jingle told her about it.

Li Beixing readily agreed: "Sure, since Grandpa, Grandma, and Mom and Dad have never been before, let's go together."

She understands the simple feelings in the hearts of Chinese people. Many people don't not want to go to the capital, but they don't have the means.

In fact, most people never even leave their province in their entire lives.

She looked at Chen Jingle, smiled, and said, "It seems you haven't been there either."

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "Well, I personally think I'll go after October, when the weather won't be so hot, and I can also go see the red leaves at Fragrant Hills."

Li Beixing blinked: "July is a bit hot, but we can avoid holidays. At most, there will be more students, parents and tourists during the summer vacation."

"My parents should agree."

Chen Jingle thought for a moment: "However, the teachers' college won't let us off until the 13th or 14th. Sister Xiu's original plan was also to leave after the holiday. It would be a bit boring to wait for them at home. Perhaps we can set off first, proceed according to the original plan, and then go to Beijing in advance to book rooms and make reservations for various attractions before picking them up from the airport. What do you think?"

"That works too." Li Beixing had no objections.

Chen Jingle looked at her: "What about your parents-in-law...?"

Li Beixing thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Next time."

Chen Jingle nodded slightly: "Okay, then let's wait until October or the end of the year and take them out for a trip again."

Li Beixing hugged him with a grin: "It's not that you're being so sensitive. My parents will go out if they want to."

But she must be secretly delighted. Chen Jingle's consideration for her parents' feelings shows that he cares about her.

How could I not be happy?

Chen Jingle smiled but didn't say anything.

It's natural to try to treat everyone equally. After all, a son-in-law is like half a son, and Li Beixing is an only child, so how could he not care for her? This was all promised before the marriage.

……

Next, I need to discuss it with my parents.

After his parents returned, Chen Jingle told them about it.

"Going to the capital together? For how long?"

"It will take at least a week. Two or three days is too short; you won't be able to do much."

My parents were originally planning to keep the shop open during the summer vacation, since many students would stay at school then, and they could earn as much as they could.

However, after some communication with Chen Jingle, it was decided to take a week off and resume business after returning from the trip.

After the family reached a consensus, Chen Jingle sent a message to Xiu Jie: "I've settled things on my end. You're in charge of persuading my second uncle, second aunt, and grandparents. I'll cover all the expenses for food, lodging, and transportation."

"Thank you, boss! I guarantee I'll complete the task!!"

Chen Xiuyun was pleasantly surprised.

Compared to Chen Jingle, that big spender, her salary was naturally insignificant. She had originally intended to ask Chen Jingle to help share the expenses, and now that the boss had offered to cover the round-trip costs, it couldn't be better.

She immediately called her father.

Chen Zhenlin had just finished showering and was hanging up his clothes when he heard the phone ring, so he quickly put down the clothesline.

"What? Go to the capital together?"

After answering the phone and hearing what his eldest daughter had to say, he was stunned.

The rest of the family also perked up their ears and looked over.

On the video call screen, Chen Xiuyun said with a smile, "Yes, yes, Brother Le said he'll cover all the expenses. Let's go together, none of us have been there before. Let's see the city gate, the Forbidden City, and the old man's memorial hall. Grandpa and Grandma will definitely want to go too."

Her mother, grandparents, and Chen Qiyun were all sitting nearby, so she quickly turned down the TV volume and moved closer.

Only Chen Jinghao, who was playing on the computer in his room upstairs, was unaware of this.

Grandma started worrying about the money again, muttering, "So many people, so far away, how much will it cost for a round trip?"

Chen Xiuyun said helplessly, "Everyone said you don't need to worry about the money. We won't be staying for long. Brother Le said he'll take care of it, so there's definitely no problem."

“Your mom and I have to go to work,” Chen Zhenlin said, scratching his head.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Xian said, "Just take a few days off. It's not like they won't approve any leave. Besides, if it really doesn't work out, just quit. Anyway, I've already decided to quit and open a shop in August, so it's only a matter of time."

My nephew is paying for the whole family to go on a trip to Beijing. Why wouldn't we go for such a good opportunity?

It's not that she wants to take advantage of anyone; her family's situation is gradually improving, and she wants to live a leisurely and comfortable life like city dwellers.

Let's start with experiential tourism.

"What about the chickens and ducks at home?"

"Give the key to the chicken coop to Aunt Xiuying and ask her to come and help feed the chickens. There are security cameras installed at home, so there's nothing else to worry about."

The group looked at each other, realizing that the biggest problem was money, but since Chen Jingle had covered it all, there was nothing to worry about; everything else could be resolved.

"Then let's go!" Grandpa decided.

He's 86 this year. He originally thought he'd never have the chance to visit Beijing in his lifetime, but now that his family's financial situation is gradually improving, he's determined to go and see it!
Back then, there was a guy in the brigade who was about the same age as him. He squeezed onto a train and stood all the way to Beijing, just to catch a glimpse of the instructor from afar in the square. He bragged about it for the rest of his life when he came back.

Countless people envy him.

"What about me? Can I go too?" Chen Qiyun couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xiuyun scoffed, "If you don't want to go, you don't have to. Staying home and looking after the house is perfectly fine."

"No way! If you don't want me to go, then I'll go with Brother Le!" Chen Qiyun pouted.

Chen Xiuyun said sarcastically, "Brother Le and Sister-in-law left a few days earlier, they wouldn't bring a burden like you along!"

Chen Zhenlin said helplessly, "Since we've already said we'd go together, then the whole family will definitely go."

Chen Qiyun was relieved. If she were really left alone at home to look after the house, she would really lose her little pearls.

The family discussed things until very late, and Chen Zhenlin even contacted Chen Jingle on WeChat to ask questions before finally going to bed happily.

Today is only July 1st. Even if we set off on July 15th, we still have to wait half a month.

There is plenty of time to prepare.

……

Since it has been decided that everyone will travel to Beijing together, Chen Jingle and Teacher Li's travel plans will have to be changed.

They finally decided to fly to Northeast China first, travel around the region, and then head to Beijing to spend about a week with their family. After everyone else chose to return to Jiangbei, the two of them would then continue their journey.

It's like reversing the original planned route.

The original plan was to travel all the way north, with the Northeast as the last stop, and then fly back directly after the trip. Now it's the other way around.

Chen Jingle looked at the roughly planned route map and thought it was alright, there were no problems.

"That's settled then!"

The 2nd is the last day of the high school entrance exam. After the exam, students in other grades will take their exams, and then they can have summer vacation.

The first subject, as is customary, is Chinese.

The day after the exam, Ms. Li finished grading the papers and tallying the scores; the rest was none of her business.

Under Chen Qiyun's reluctant gaze, the two dragged their suitcases and headed to the airport.

The international airport in Jiangbei doesn't have direct flights to Northeast China during the off-season, so the two of them can only transfer. They decided to fly to Beijing first and then buy tickets from Beijing to Harbin.

The total flight time is 6 hours, which is not bad considering the layover time.

Actually, Chen Jingle was somewhat resistant to this mode of travel that involved a lot of waiting time, but for a distance of more than 3600 kilometers, there was really no more convenient means of transportation than an airplane.

He doesn't know how to fly on a sword.

"Now I know why rich people buy private jets," Chen Jingle sighed inwardly.

Putting everything else aside, having your own plane makes traveling long distances really convenient.

Just like how owning your own car expands your living radius to within two hours.

However, given Hongqi's size, it's still somewhat difficult for him to live a life with private jets and yachts at present.

"I hope my father-in-law will live up to expectations and upgrade the company to a 10 billion yuan level before he retires, so that Mr. Li and I can relax and enjoy our retirement without any worries."

Li Qiguang, who was reading documents in his office, suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder, as if something was pressing down on it.

"Could it be that my shoulder muscle strain has flared up again because I haven't been exercising much lately?"

I've made up my mind to go see a doctor for a massage after get off work.

He was a little unhappy about the thought of having to go to work every day while his daughter and son-in-law could go out and have fun.

Even if I don't let you take over right now, you should at least help me out a bit more!

However, upon seeing the strategic plan for the company's development in the second half of the year on the table, he calmed down.

I must say, my son-in-law is truly talented!

……

After a flight of more than three hours, Chen Jingle and Teacher Li finally arrived at Beijing Airport.

"Is this the capital? It doesn't seem like anything special."

After getting off the plane, Chen Jingle looked around curiously.

At least there wasn't any sweet smell in the air, which is quite different from Niuyoke.

We need to reflect on this!

However, it's relatively less humid; it's more dry and hot.

As someone from Jiangbei who came to Beijing from Lingnan, I noticed a significant difference in humidity levels between the two places.

To use the words of my friends from the north, the dampness in Lingnan is like being licked by a cow after you get off the plane; if you stay outdoors for a long time, it's no different from being in a steamer.

Without time for further reflection, the two hurried to the boarding gate to board their flight to Harbin.

The interval between the two flights is not long, so you won't miss them.

Just as I boarded the plane and settled into my seat, a bespectacled man approached me with a microphone: "Excuse me, may I interview you?"

Chen Jingle: ? ? ?

Ms. Li, who was standing next to her, frowned slightly.
