East, west, north, south, prosper in Guangdong.
This old saying constantly lingered in Cheng Su’s mind. Now, in the mid-to-late period of economic reform, seeing the tidal wave-like flow of workers, she fully understood its aning.
Cheng Su dared not lose focus and could only instruct Wang Bo and Zhao Da to stay close by her side to avoid getting separated in the throng of people.
Communication wasn’t that advanced back then, and there were no mobile phones. If they got separated in such a large place like Guangcheng, it would truly be hard to know where to start looking!
So, just in case, if they got separated, they shouldn’t act like headless chickens running around looking for each other. They should imdiately find a hotel, make a long-distance call to the office to report their location, and wait for Cheng Su to co find them.
Wang Bo and Zhao Da found it strange; shouldn’t it be two n looking for her instead? Why did it turn around to have her find them?
Cheng Su didn’t explain, only told them to follow orders.
She was the boss; seeing her so insistent, Wang Bo and they could only listen to her.
"Be careful of your belongings; keep identification docunts separately," Cheng Su repeatedly reminded them.
Train stations everywhere are chaotic mingling grounds of all sorts, especially in Guangcheng. In this year, 1987, many underworld factions were forming gangs, and incidents were frequent.
"Got it." Seeing her serious tone, Wang Bo and Zhao Da couldn’t help but beco more cautious and vigilant.
Once out of the train station, it was straight to the bus stop. Cheng Su had long considered her destination; her forr orphanage was located in a secluded Hebei area, so staying close by was best.
From mory, Cheng Su personally asked the staff at the station for directions, then led the two to take the bus.
Facing this unfamiliar city, Wang Bo and Zhao Da were like blind cats, a bit flustered.
The city was so big; they had no clue where to go, no hint of direction, and only now realized their data wasn’t comprehensive enough.
However, President Cheng seed utterly at ease, without the slightest panic, handling everything in an orderly manner — where to go, whom to ask for directions, which bus to take — she was completely clear and made no mistakes.
Watching Cheng Su walk ahead, Zhao Da quietly said to Wang Bo, "Brother Wang, our President Cheng is really impressive. In such a big Guangcheng, she isn’t scared at all, quite adept, like she’s been here many tis!"
"Indeed!" Wang Bo was equally puzzled; was this really her first ti in this city?
"People say college students are smart; it seems President Cheng is exceptionally smart. Look at the way her business is growing, you can tell. Brother, I think following President Cheng is the right choice!" Zhao Da continued, "In this life, I’m gonna follow President Cheng till the end!"
Wang Bo smiled, fully agreeing with this statent.
President Cheng’s insight and courage garnered his respect as a man; her vision and capacity were vast indeed. In short, he truly learned quite a lot from her.
Wang Bo thought of the company that tried to poach him recently and figured once he returned, he’d decline. Although the pay was higher over there, President Cheng made him see a radiant future.
Now even Zhao Da noticed President Cheng’s greatness, saw the promising future. Was he really no match for this kid?
"Hey, you two still standing there dumbfounded, hurry up and follow ; if you get lost, I won’t be able to find you!" Cheng Su noticed while walking that the two hadn’t caught up, so she shouted.
"Coming!" Wang Bo responded, pulled Zhao Da by the sleeve, and followed with his large backpack.
