Chapter 41 Depth of Water
“Hey, Mingyuan.”

The call was connected and a voice came from the receiver.

“Hey, Yunfeng, where are you now?” Xu Mingyuan asked casually.

“Running the market in Ling Province.”

“It’s so far away. Send me your address online. I’ll need you to do something in a few days…”

Xu Mingyuan briefly explained the situation, which was to make preparations in advance and find some people to mail some express parcels.

Cheng Liang was not assigned to do this because that guy is not a reliable person.

Li Yunfeng was one of the first people to join the sales channel. He was in his early twenties, his family was very poor, and he had a mother who was paralyzed in bed.

After dropping out of high school, he entered society and worked odd jobs to support his family until he was hired as a sales manager for Lightning Plug-ins.

Li Yunfeng’s monthly income has reached 03 to yuan, which was an astronomical figure in when the average monthly income of an ordinary person was around yuan.

But compared with those who earn more than 100,000, his income among sales managers ranks in the lower middle.

It’s not that he lacks ability, but that he is steady and has been carrying out Xu Mingyuan’s requirements.

In order not to attract attention, Xu Mingyuan did not allow these salesmen to go to cities where there were Internet companies to promote their products, but in order to increase their own income, they soon turned a deaf ear to his advice.

After all, cities with Internet companies are big cities with Internet cafes everywhere and high average consumption. They are markets that no one is willing to give up.

Because the sales part was handed over to Cheng Liang, he turned a blind eye to it. Seeing this, Xu Mingyuan didn’t say much.

Li Yunfeng was the only person who carried out the requirements. Although Ling Province was poor, it developed very rapidly compared to other poor provinces. He still had vision.

Xu Mingyuan likes people who know their limits.

Ability is important, but in the eyes of the boss, only those who are obedient can reach high positions.

Xiao Yangzhi went back to school in the afternoon, but Xu Mingyuan took a whole day off.

It was almost eight o’clock in the evening when Xu Mingyuan strolled to the gate of No. 9 Middle School.

Although most of the students in 03 were only children, there were not many parents who came to the school gate to pick them up. Most of them let the students go home on their own. This has been the case for Xu Mingyuan since he started elementary school.

But little Yangzhi enjoyed this rare care. When Xu Jun and Yang Hongyu lived together, he was still very family-oriented and often picked her up and dropped her off.

It was the first time that Xu Mingyuan came to pick her up, of course, mainly to get rid of the hot potato in his hands.

The school bell rang, and within a minute, some students rushed out and disappeared.

Afterwards, the main group followed one after another, forming small groups of three or five, chatting and laughing as they went to roadside stalls to buy food.

After waiting for a while, Xu Mingyuan saw Xiao Yangzhi walking out in a black down jacket, followed by a shorter girl who was saying something to her.

“Little Yangzhi!”

Xu Mingyuan shouted across the street and waved.

Then Yang Zhi waved his hand, dodged the classmates riding bicycles, and walked over.

“elder brother.”

“Ah.”

Xu Mingyuan rubbed her head.

“Hello, brother.”

The girl next to her also wore an orange down jacket over her school uniform. She was a cute little girl.

In 03, most people in Nanxi started school late. Duan Shihan should be around fourteen years old, but she looked like a first-year junior high school student.

“Hello, do you two want to eat something?” Xu Mingyuan asked casually.

Xiao Yangzhi didn’t say anything but just looked at the girl next to him. Duan Shihan just shook her head and said, “Thank you, brother. No thanks.”

“Well, please give it to your father, okay?”

Xu Mingyuan took out the rolled-up brown paper file bag in his hand and handed it over.

It is usually difficult for children to refuse requests from others, but Duan Shihan’s family education made her not reach out, but just curiously asked: “What is this?”

“It’s just a document. Your father should need it very much.”

As Xu Mingyuan spoke, he untangled the packaging wire and opened it for her to take a look. It was just a stack of A4 paper.

“Oh… okay then.” Duan Shihan opened her schoolbag and put the cowhide file bag inside.

Seeing this, Xu Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to her, “Then we’ll leave first. Is there anyone to pick you up? Do you want us to give you a ride?”

“No, someone will pick me up.”

Duan Shihan nodded and pointed to a black Jetta at the intersection in the distance.

“Well, say goodbye to your classmates.”

Xu Mingyuan brought little Yangzhi to his side.

“Goodbye Shihan.”

“See you tomorrow, Zhizhi.”

Duan Shihan waved goodbye, then skipped towards the intersection.

The first snow in Nanxi City this year came extremely fast, and the ground was muddy when it fell.

The asphalt roads in Nanxi City only extend to the county and city level, and only a small number of villages and towns have cement roads, but most of them are still dirt roads compacted with loess. This forced Duan Jianhe, who was planning to go down to do research, to turn back halfway.

“Dad, isn’t Uncle Zhao picking me up today?”

Duan Shihan opened the back door, sat in and found that it was her father.

“Well, nothing to do today, let him go back first. Do you miss dad?”

“Of course I did.”

Duan Shihan kissed him hard on the face across the seat.

Duan Jianhe’s frown relaxed and he smiled with a hint of relief.

The people in Nanxi City are simple and loyal.

“Dad, here is a file that I think might be useful to you.”

Duan Shihan remembered the file bag in her schoolbag, took it out and threw it on the empty passenger seat.

“Where did it come from?”

“My classmate’s brother brought it. I don’t know what it is.”

“Oh.”

Although I have told my daughter not to share my work, there is no wall that is impenetrable. Students may not care about it, but teachers are very clear about these things.

Word of mouth spreads from one person to ten people, and from ten to a hundred people, and it will eventually attract the attention of someone interested.

Duan Jianhe didn’t care about it and just let his secretary deal with it tomorrow.

However, the file bag was opened, and a few pages of paper slipped out when it was thrown to the co-pilot.

Duan Jianhe took a casual glance and started the car.

Then he stepped on the brakes, snatched the document bag, looked at it for a few seconds, then moved closer and looked through it carefully under the street light.

The first page had a line of words on it: About Chen Xiangshun****.

Duan Jianhe quickly flipped through a few pages and became more and more shocked the more he read. If this document was not forged, then who had checked it in such detail?

“Dad, are you going to leave?”

“Who gave this to you?” Duan Jianhe asked.

“Ah? I told you, my classmate’s brother.”

Seeing her father’s serious expression, Duan Shihan quickly answered.

“My classmate’s brother? How old is he?” Duan Jianhe was stunned.

“About 18 or 19 years old. I’m not sure, but I heard from my deskmate that her brother is studying at No. 3 Middle School and will take the college entrance examination next year.”

“Still a student?”

Duan Jianhe pondered for a moment, put away the file bag, wrapped the packaging wire, and put it in his briefcase.

This matter is definitely not that simple.

Who sent it? What did they want to do?
