Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 476 Let’s go!

Director Wang has been extremely busy lately. He's been working on the lighter factory's new round of expansion, construction, and production, while also handling the daily affairs of Nanluoguxiang, maintaining public order, and devoting some of his energy to epidemic prevention and overseeing construction.

It can be said that any of the above-mentioned items consumed a great deal of Director Wang's energy.

Director Wang, on the other hand, is a very responsible person. He's the kind of person who won't give up until things are done well.

As a result, staying up late became a regular occurrence.

So when Ximen Lang saw Director Wang again, who was also his dear Aunt Wang, he was truly stunned.

Especially those dark circles under his eyes, so thick they looked like he'd been punched twice.

He really couldn't hold back at all, and Ximen Lang immediately became unhappy.

"Who is it! Who dares to lay a hand on my Director Wang and Factory Manager Wang! Don't they know that Director Wang is my Aunt Wang? They've got some nerve, aren't they? Are they tired of living?"

It's true that the more you think about it, the angrier you get. Of course, it's also possible that you just couldn't hold it in and were deliberately showing anger to cover up your inability to hold it in.

Ximen Lang immediately rolled up his sleeves, ready to settle accounts with this audacious person!

This truly frustrated Director Wang.

It took a lot of pulling, dragging, and persuasion. With Bai Ling, who was becoming more and more like Ximen Lang, secretly laughing, she finally managed to calm down Ximen Lang, who was indeed acting crazy.

Turning his head, he saw Bai Ling still chuckling to herself, and Director Wang said irritably.

"Still laughing! Still laughing! Your Aunt Wang is exhausted, and you're still laughing at me. You've spoiled me for nothing!"

After talking about Bai Ling, Director Wang turned to Ximen Lang and laughed and scolded him.

"Don't think I don't know what you were trying to do! Just like Bai Ling, you're no good either. I've wasted my time spoiling you two!"

Ximen Lang himself was embarrassed by what he said.

I can only tell Director Wang the truth.

"I had no choice, Aunt Wang. Your dark circles are just too noticeable. Whenever I see them, I can't help but think of a panda and I can't help but laugh. There's nothing I can do but leave it at that."

"But what's wrong with you? How long has it been since you had a proper night's sleep? How could you be so exhausted? Even Lao Luo's dark circles aren't as bad as yours. What's going on? Are you that busy? So busy that you don't even have time to rest?"

When asked what Director Wang had been busy with lately, he pinched his brow and sighed.

"There's no way around it. Look at me now, I have to take care of the lighter factory, right? I have to handle the daily affairs in Nanluoguxiang, right? And there's the vaccination program, the line renovation, the road maintenance that's in full swing right now, I have to look after everything, I can't do without taking care of anything."

"Just running back and forth between these few places every day makes my legs tremble. On top of that, I have to coordinate with the militia, the police station, and several factories in the area. It's already a blessing if I can steal a moment to nap. A good night's sleep? I really don't even dare to think about it."

The sheer volume of work was making Ximen Lang's scalp tingle, and he was genuinely worried for Director Wang.

I really feel sorry for Director Wang. It must be too tiring for him to have so much work on his shoulders.

Without giving it much thought, Ximen Lang immediately began to speak up for Director Wang.

"This is too much! You're doing all this work by yourself? Isn't this bullying an honest person? How can this be! No, I have to have a serious talk with Lao Luo about this and ask him to talk to the higher-ups and ask them to assign you less work."

It's perfectly normal for Ximen Lang to think this way.

After all, there were no extra bonuses for doing too much work. Since it was both unpaid and tiring, Ximen Lang naturally felt that all the work was a burden.

But in the eyes of Director Wang and her colleagues, this was not the case at all.

Because this was a responsibility assigned to her by her superiors.

If Ximen Lang had just removed it all with a single sentence...
How can she perform well in the future? How can she improve?
When progress stalled, Director Wang naturally became anxious.

They were desperately trying to stop them while simultaneously trying to persuade them.

Director Wang quickly offered some words of advice.

"Actually, it's not as tiring as I imagined, and even if I'm busy, it's only for a short period of time. Once these two days are over and the peak of the first batch of vaccinations has passed, I'll naturally have some free time. So, there's really no need to trouble Lao Luo, I'm fine."

Bai Ling, who had been listening nearby and instantly understood why Director Wang was so anxious, couldn't help but smile again as soon as she had managed to suppress her anger.

Director Wang was so impressed by her appearance that he wanted to slap her twice.

Seeing that she had just laughed out loud, she was immediately spotted by the sharp-eyed Director Wang. Helpless, Bai Ling could only offer some words of comfort.

"Don't worry about it. Aunt Wang is busy, but her busyness isn't meaningless or fruitless. On the contrary, this work is very meaningful! If it's meaningful, then the rewards will follow."

His explanation, which was almost explicit, made Ximen Lang suddenly understand.

It's true, it really is like that.

Ximen Lang finally stopped arguing about reducing Director Wang's workload.

Since Ximen Lang stopped mentioning it, Director Wang naturally dared not bring it up again.

Director Wang quickly changed the subject, asking about Ximen Lang and Bai Ling's upcoming itinerary.

"Now that the special training is complete and the guard battalion has been reorganized, everything is ready except for the final push. So, you two, when are you planning to set off?"

As for when they would set off, Ximen Lang and Bai Ling had actually discussed it long ago.

"We were originally planning to set off immediately after the special training ended. But we've had a shot in the arm. Although it's definitely matured after so many years of refinement and the side effects are much smaller than before, there are still some side effects. So, it's still necessary to observe for a few days. So, let's stop for two more days."

At this point, Ximen Lang reminded Gao Cheng and Hao Pingchuan, who were standing to the side.

"By the way, during the observation period, the training intensity must not be too high. We can catch up on training later, but during this period, we must not do anything reckless. Even if there is training, it is best to focus on learning and familiarizing yourself with the operation. Also, nutrition must be up to standard. Don't try to save money for me!"

He reiterated his status as the richest man in Beijing, which prompted Hao Pingchuan to immediately pat his chest and affirm it.

"Don't worry, Brother Lang, I definitely won't skimp on your money!"

Tell them everything that needs to be told.

Seeing that Director Wang was so busy with work that he couldn't spare any time for himself.

Having had their fill of fun, Ximen Lang and Bai Ling decisively bid farewell to Director Wang and then left as a group.

Time flew by, and two days later, on the day Ximen Lang and Bai Ling set off.
