Chapter 387: Chapter 141: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (28)

"The train is at 5:30 tomorrow morning. I need you all to push a little harder and make sure all the goods are loaded on board before 5:15."

"You can catch up on sleep and eat once you’re on board. I’ll bring you food tomorrow..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll absolutely make sure you’re all compensated for the overtime."

Chi Yun’er stood up, stretched her neck, and gave the instructions with a smile.

"No need. I’ll just have some crackers to tide me over. I’m saving room for the food at the stations," Zhao Jinming said, waving his hand with a smile and patting his stomach. "Even though I won’t have time to get off and explore along the way, the snacks they sell at the stations alone will be enough to keep me happy. I’ll bring you all back souvenirs..."

The schedule for this exchange of heat-relief supplies was too tight. He wouldn’t even have time to look around at the destination before catching a ride straight back.

That being said, after Chi Yun’er went home for a quick dinner, she rode her bike back to work and ran into Xu Chengfang at the main gate.

They couldn’t help but laugh. "Chi Yun’er, you really have to build this kind of chemistry from a young age! I’m sure we’ll continue to be the ’iron triangle’ at work and take the entire General Hospital by storm!"

Chi Yun’er nodded, parked her bike by the gatehouse, and hopped in Xu Chengfang’s vehicle without a second thought, heading straight for the warehouse.

Zhao Jinming was your typical pampered young master from the Capital City. He came from a good family, and his skin was so fair it made other girls burn with envy.

But now, he had his shirt off, just like the other laborers. With a towel slung over his shoulder, he tirelessly carried goods back and forth, his face covered in dust and grime.

An idea sparked in Chi Yun’er’s eyes. She whispered something to Xu Chengfang, who nodded eagerly, turned around, and rode off. She returned a short while later, trailed by a panting young man with a camera around his neck, jogging to keep up.

On this late June evening in the Capital City, the breeze was mild. The sunset glow washed over half the sky, stretching the workers’ shadows long. They looked like exquisite, story-filled silhouettes, and the scene was filled with a moving beauty.

The young man was taken aback for a moment. He took a couple of deep breaths to catch his wind, then raised his camera and started shooting from different angles. CLICK.

Chi Yun’er even had the young man take close-ups of the crew, making sure to prominently feature the large beads of sweat on Zhao Jinming’s forehead.

After giving him a bit of direction, she and Xu Chengfang grabbed flashlights, paper, pens, and notebooks and began to check the inventory over and over. They packed items going to the same destination into large boxes, wrote the addresses on them, and then arranged the shipment according to the train route.

It wasn’t until late into the night that the group finally finished their work.

Mr. Chi, who had been helping out with a flashlight, then escorted the two young women home.

Before he left, he patted Zhao Jinming’s shoulder. "Keep up the good work, young man. Our hospital is a big place. It’s not just doctors and nurses who have a chance to make their mark."

"Opportunity favors the prepared and the hardworking. Maybe the reason all our doctors and nurses can focus on their jobs without any distractions is because they can count on you all to support them!"

Zhao Jinming nodded firmly and took a deep breath. For the first time, he felt the heavy weight of responsibility on his shoulders. It was a moment of growth, a transformation.

From now on, he wouldn’t just be sheltered by his parents. He would share their burdens, perhaps even become the pillar that held up his family.

The next day, Chi Yun’er arrived at their temporary office full of energy, with Xu Chengfang following close behind.

They still had a lot of work to do. The hospital’s heat-relief supplies were being shipped south, and the goods they’d received in exchange were already on their way.

Chi Yun’er was representing Kyoto General Hospital. The name alone was a gold-plated seal of approval that carried immense weight. With the faxed agreement in hand, the other parties didn’t hesitate in the slightest.

After all, who would dare to mess with the General Hospital?

Now, the two of them needed to get in touch with various local manufacturers to negotiate the specific details of the exchange.

"Here’s the list I put together," Chi Yun’er said, showing a detailed breakdown of the product names, quantities, exchange values, and market prices for all forty-eight companies.

"And on this sheet are the manufacturers here in the Capital City that I’ve researched as potential exchange partners. I’ve already called ahead to sound out their procurement directors. The Capital City is the capital of Xiahua, after all, and there’s a strong culture of one-upmanship between organizations," Chi Yun’er said to Xu Chengfang, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"If one company upgrades its employee benefits, another can’t afford to be seen as falling behind. Even the employees are secretly competitive about it. So, we have to be strategic with our exchanges."

In a low voice, she explained some of the intricacies involved.
