Chapter 2377: Chapter 2217: Return Journey Time flies quickly. The tenth day. The New Year’s atmosphere gradually fades, many people have already returned to work, and most schools will open in the coming days. Spring Festival travel rush. The return peak has arrived. At this moment. Many of Tang Qing’s employees are happy because, with the annual leave, the last group to return to work can still stay at home until after the Lantern Festival. Feeling great! "For the first time, after working, I can still celebrate the Lantern Festival at home!" "Sigh!" "This is life! I just want to say: Thank you, Boss Tang!" "Long live Boss Tang!" "..." In previous years. No. Before working at Tang Qing’s company, wasn’t it always a rush to the company on the fifth or sixth day of New Year, and tickets were hard to get too. Celebrating the New Year was like going to war. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂 Now. They can directly postpone to the tenth day, or even after the Lantern Festival. They feel the kindness of life compared to other companies, there’s just one word. Awesome! Seeing this. Naturally, there’s envy online. Whenever compared with the benefits of Tang Qing’s company, they always feel like they’re attending a fake job, living a fake life. No. In comparison, what they have couldn’t even be called life, more like survival. Piercing! ... Yunnan Province. A bus is parked at the entrance of a village, surrounded by many people, adults and children. Family members are going far to work, and they’ve all come to see them off. Meeting again. Will be at least half a year later. "Brother Huo!" At this time. A man, carrying bags, runs from a small path, followed by his newlywed wife. He made money last year and got married when he came back this year. Of course. It’s not a flash marriage, they’ve been dating for a while. Now. It’s just a natural progression. Unfortunately, the wife cannot go to the workplace. "Get on!" Brother Huo said. "Okay." The man hurriedly got on the bus after placing his luggage in the storage. Brother Huo, who was called, had brought a group of young people from the village to join Tang Kai’s Construction Company last year. Last year, Brother Huo, who led the young villagers to build Roy City in India, was quite proud. Their progress has always been ahead of schedule in the past six months. Thus. Before the end of the year, the company granted a long holiday. Each person. Twenty days. They could return home for the New Year with transportation costs covered by the company, and also received a considerable bonus, ranging from twenty thousand to forty thousand yuan. It was truly generous. Before this. The villagers he brought to work had mostly outdated houses. Now. In one year. Everyone earned at least over one hundred thousand yuan, plus bonuses and previous savings, and they all planned to build new houses, which made Brother Huo very gratified. At least. He lived up to the villagers he brought out. Soon. Everyone was on board. The last time, since they were not company employees yet, the bus waited for them in the county town. This time, it was different and more considerate; it directly drove to the village entrance. "Driver, let’s go!" Then. The bus headed for the border; their route was the same as last year: the bus to Myanmar, then the train to Langyu County northwards to India. Half a year. The new Roy City was vaguely taking shape, with most underground works completed, and above-ground construction advancing rapidly since the floors were not high. Therefore. By late September. The new Roy City would be established. Thinking of this, Brother Huo was excited. Building a city in just over a year—such speed was truly astounding. Usually. It would take no less than two years. However. With various standardized, modularized, shift work, and precisely scheduled daily tasks, it all seemed reasonable. Enough funds. Adequate manpower. Strong management. The project. Progressed at an unimaginable speed. He was not worried at all about completing on time, even though the company gave many people a long holiday. Yet it didn’t cause any delays. Moreover. There was a comparison, which was India. This time, due to the investment from major Indian capitals, their construction companies were involved. Thus. The touching efficiency made him feel like they might be too discouraging; with the same workload, Indians with double manpower were still delayed. Also. The rework rate was high. Thinking of this. Brother Huo couldn’t help but laugh, gradually understanding that without external forces, relying solely on India itself might remain stagnant until the end of the century. Landlords. Education. Healthcare. Efficiency. Land policy. ... All of these restricted this country, and in every aspect, Huaxia surpassed India by a lot. When these are combined, they formed a chasm. Thinking of this. All of a sudden. Brother Huo felt filled with pride; Huaxia was the best. Even Myanmar couldn’t compare, though Myanmar had money now, but that’s about it. Technology. Heavy imbalance. Military. Just a few troops. Economy. Relies on a single pillar industry. Therefore. No matter how wealthy Myanmar became. It couldn’t become a great or strong power. Okay! Perhaps there’s a slight hope, as after all, they are eating off others’ money! ... Beijing. Airport. "Sister, goodbye." "Study well." Bai Qing instructed her sister. "Got it." The girl said helplessly. Study. Study. She’s heard it since she was young, feeling a bit helpless. She thought it would get better after graduation, but seeing her sister now, the keyword has turned into: work. As always. Marriage. Family. Kids. ... Alright! Life doesn’t escape the binding of such keywords. After bidding farewell to their parents, Bai Qing and Chu Sheng proceeded to security, preparing to go to Algeria. The holiday is over. The pair, having gotten their marriage certificate, did not throw a lavish wedding due to lack of time, only inviting a few relatives and friends for a few meals. Simple. Humble. Minimalistic. Chu Sheng promised to compensate with a wedding in the future, but Bai Qing didn’t mind. To choose to work in Africa without hesitation for someone—what can be said about her character? Decisive. Cheerful and generous. Unconventional. Both were filled with expectations for the new year, planning to have a child next year or the year after, not worrying about being fired by the company on this issue. In this regard. Tang Qing’s company did an excellent job; the contract didn’t specify any requirements against having a child, even if joining the company with the intention of having children. They accepted it. Moreover. After maternity leave, they could continue working. After all, being able to enter Tang Qing’s company meant that their abilities had been screened and were outstanding. They were talents. Why let them go? Therefore. For their plan to have a child, the couple felt no pressure at all, no need to report or schedule; they could have a child whenever they decided. ... Twelve hours later. Algiers. Airport. The pair boarded the company’s airplane directly, flying straight to Tamanrasset City. Although the city’s airport had customs, that plane couldn’t fly there. "I heard the train will open by the end of this year." Bai Qing thought of an instance where Algeria took a bank loan from the Myanmar Bank to extend southwards towards Tamanrasset City. Even. They would extend a line directly into the North African park for steel product transportation. And now. Almost a year has passed. Constructed by Huaxia’s enterprise. And. A considerable part of the rails was supplied by the North African park. Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng nodded, "By around October this year, it should be operational." Huaxia speed. Besides. The terrain factors, compared to tunneling and bridging in the mountainous area, the flat, wide-open Gobi allows much faster construction. Avoiding thick sandy soil areas, they advance steadily. Moreover. The area experiences little rainfall all year, nearly eliminating geological collapse issues, and relatively, the foundation level can be slightly lowered compared to humid areas, reducing the workload. Otherwise. No matter how fast, it wouldn’t be this rapid.
