Chapter 308 International City
"Oh, where did you get the news?" Zhao Aimin immediately became interested.
Fragrant City, an international metropolis, gathers elites from all over the world.
Compared with Sijiucheng and Shanghai, Xiangcheng is more developed.
And there is one thing about Xiangcheng that Sijiucheng and Modu can't compare to, that is, Xiangcheng has many large multinational companies.
You can buy items from almost any place in the world in Xiangcheng.
However, it was not easy to go to Xiangcheng in those days, and relevant procedures must be followed.
"Lin Xiu, let's go to Xiangcheng!" Zhao Aimin made a decision.
"Mr. Zhao, do you mean that we mean to take me there?" Lin Xiu looked at Zhao Aimin with wide eyes.
"Yes, let's go together, one is to go to Xiangcheng to do business, and the other is to let you see the world... I don't think you have been out of the mainland yet?" Zhao Aimin asked.
"Don't talk about leaving the mainland, I haven't even been out of Forty-Nine City!" Lin Xiu said.
"No way? You haven't been out of Forty-Nine City? Haven't you visited the surrounding areas?" Zhao Aimin asked.
"No, where can I go around?" Lin Xiu tilted her head and asked.
Zhao Aimin thought so too, Sijiu City is already one of the best cities in China.
If it is necessary to leave Sijiu City to visit other cities in the Mainland, the most is to go to Shanghai.
It's a pity that Lin Xiu was just an unemployed young man with a very ordinary family background, so there was no reason to go to Shanghai.
It is not realistic to say that it is unrealistic to go to Shanghai, because few people in this era travel.
Besides, Lin Xiu didn't have the money either.
Zhao Aimin came to the official office, revealed his identity to the staff, and said that he was going to Xiangcheng to participate in the clothing fair.
Zhao Aimin gave a very reasonable reason. He is the owner of a garment factory, and Xiangcheng is about to hold a grand clothing fair. It is reasonable for him to go to Xiangcheng.
After the official personnel verified Zhao Aimin's identity, he went through the relevant procedures.
After receiving the formalities, Zhao Aimin decided to leave immediately.
There is still some time before the clothing fair will be held in Xiangcheng, but Zhao Aimin's trip to Xiangcheng is not just to participate in the exhibition, he has other things to do.
He took Lin Xiu to Sijiucheng Railway Station, and planned to take the train to Nancheng first, and then take a long-distance bus from Nancheng to Xiangcheng.
In fact, there is a more convenient way to travel from Sijiu City to Xiangcheng, that is, by plane.
But Lin Xiu was naturally afraid of heights, let alone let her fly, let her stay in the office on the second floor, she would stay away from the windows.
On the train, Lin Xiu's seat was close to the window, and she looked very excited looking at the scenery outside the window.
There are not many people who have taken a train in this era. This is the first time for Lin Xiu to take a train, so everything is new to her.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the flight attendant pushed a small trolley with boxed lunch into the compartment.
"Let's go, let's go to the dining car for dinner." Zhao Aimin said to Lin Xiu.
"Isn't there a box lunch?" Lin Xiu asked.
"The environment of the dining car is better, and the food is better." Zhao Aimin said.
Lin Xiu originally wanted to say that box lunches are cheaper, so it is better to just eat box lunches.
But after thinking about it, it's okay to eat box lunch by myself, but Zhao Aimin is the big boss, so it's inappropriate for Mr. Zhao to eat box lunch.
So he stood up and came to the dining car with Zhao Aimin.
The two ate for a while, and Lin Xiu suddenly said, "Mr. Zhao, you don't like the environment in the carriage, do you?"
"It's a mess, and there are always people smoking." Zhao Aimin sighed.
This is the case in this era, and the dangers of second-hand smoke have not yet been recognized, so smoking is allowed in the car.
Unlike in later generations, smoking is prohibited in some public places.
Originally, he planned to buy a sleeper berth ticket, but the berth tickets were sold out long ago, so he could only book a sleeper berth three days later.
Zhao Aimin didn't want to wait, so he bought an ordinary seat ticket.
"Mr. Zhao, you could have taken the plane, but you took the train because of me. If I had known earlier, I would not have come."
Lin Xiu said apologetically.
"Lin Xiu, I don't blame you, it's nothing." Zhao Aimin comforted.
"Mr. Zhao, do you think I need to change this problem? Otherwise, how can I go on business trips with you in the future? I can't let you accompany me on the train every time, can I?"
"If I can't change it, I won't be able to go out with you next time."
Lin Xiu felt very distressed.
"This... how should I put it, being afraid of heights is actually not a problem. Many people are afraid of heights. This is very normal and a natural human reaction."
"If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to see a doctor to see if you can alleviate the symptoms of fear of heights." Zhao Aimin said.
The two chatted while eating, and returned to their seats after eating.
Zhao Aimin had just sat down for less than a minute when he saw a young man wearing sunglasses walking over.
The young man stopped when he reached the middle-aged woman sitting opposite Zhao Aimin, and then looked ahead, as if he was looking for someone.
But Zhao Aimin saw at a glance that this person was a thief!
The man in sunglasses looked forward, but his hand was placed on the edge of the leather bag beside the middle-aged woman.
"Put your bag away!" Zhao Aimin reminded aloud.
The middle-aged woman was taken aback for a while, and then realized that there was a stranger standing beside her, so she subconsciously took the purse and put it on her lap.
Seeing that there was no chance to make a move, the man in the sunglasses had no choice but to pretend that nothing happened and walked away.
"Thank you, comrade." The middle-aged woman thanked Zhao Aimin.
"These thieves are really hateful. If they steal their hard-earned money, wouldn't they be terribly sad?"
Lin Xiu said.
"I should wait for him to make a move, and then I can catch him." Zhao Aimin felt a little pity.
The so-called catching the thief and taking the stolen goods, the thief did not succeed, and since he is going to catch him now, he will not admit it.
"Young man, you'd better not provoke him, because the thieves on the train usually have companions." A middle-aged man sitting opposite said.
Zhao Aimin smiled and did not speak.
He is not afraid of those little thieves.
It's best for the thief to get acquainted and slip away quickly. If they come back to seek revenge on themselves, they will be caught and sent to the official for disposal.
After about half an hour, the young man wearing sunglasses turned around again.
This time he also brought two young men over, and the three of them walked directly towards Zhao Aimin.
Seeing that the three of them came with bad intentions, the middle-aged woman immediately hugged the purse tightly in her arms, and then turned her face out of the window.
The middle-aged man sitting next to her also looked away.
They all understood that these people must have come to seek revenge on the young man opposite.
Lin Xiu also felt nervous. She was about to remind Zhao Aimin when she noticed that Zhao Aimin moved his leg and stretched his left foot towards the aisle.
