The deliveryman even helped pack things up. In the end, Liu Yifeng had everything that didn't fit into his luggage packed and shipped back. Because there were many items and they were heavy, shipping them alone cost over fifty yuan. Adding the twenty yuan for the home pickup service, it totaled seventy yuan.
However, this was still much better than leaving the items behind. The total value of these items was close to ten thousand yuan.
As for the gold jewelry Su Wanru bought for Tong Tong, he immediately put it into his suitcase. He would keep it safe for Tong Tong when they returned, and it could even be passed down to his own children later.
But Tong Tong couldn't wear it now because he was going to kindergarten, and the kindergarten had clear regulations prohibiting children from wearing valuable items, with consequences for any violations.
This rule was entirely for their own protection. Otherwise, if all the children attending the kindergarten came from wealthy families, even a small item could be expensive. Young children didn't understand the value of things, and the kindergarten would end up having to compensate for losses.
"Daddy, I've packed my things!" Tong Tong put his last belongings into his small backpack. It was a cute little duck backpack that Aunt Xia had bought for him at the mall.
Liu Yifeng immediately praised him, "Tong Tong, you're amazing! Daddy has also finished packing. Let's go find Aunt Xia and see if she's finished packing. Maybe we can help her, and then we'll go have dinner and check out of the room!"
After speaking, they walked out of the room and arrived at Xia Qianqian's door. Liu Yifeng knocked gently three times. A moment later, the door opened: "Have you both finished packing?" Xia Qianqian was holding her cosmetics.
She had thought her belongings wouldn't be much, but as she started packing, she realized how many things she had.
She had already packed one suitcase, but there was still half of her items left to pack.
She had only brought one suitcase when she arrived, but now she needed two to go back. The extra items were all purchased here, including a full set of clothes Tong Tong had bought for her.
"We're done. We couldn't fit everything, so we called a deliveryman to ship it to Hai City," Liu Yifeng said.
Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Xia Qianqian looked enlightened. "How did I not think of that? I was just about to buy another suitcase!"
"What, do you also have too many things to fit?" Liu Yifeng asked curiously.
Xia Qianqian was a little embarrassed. "I only brought one suitcase when I came, and now it won't close."
"It's normal to buy many new things when visiting C City for the first time. Are you planning to buy a new suitcase or ship them back?"
"I'll ship them back. Otherwise, I can't carry two suitcases by myself!" Xia Qianqian said without hesitation.
Liu Yifeng immediately took out his phone and called the deliveryman who had just picked up his items.
The call was answered quickly. "Hello, I have more items to ship. Can you make another trip?"
"Okay, I haven't gone far. Is it still your room number?" the deliveryman asked, stopping his vehicle.
Liu Yifeng shook his head. "No, but it's on the 16th floor. Just call me when you get to the 16th floor!"
"Alright, I'll be there in ten minutes!"
Ten minutes later, the deliveryman knocked on the door.
Xia Qianqian reorganized her things again. She had the deliveryman pack away the items she wouldn't need temporarily. She kept some essentials and a change of clothes, and the rest were shipped back.
Her items were fewer than Liu Yifeng's, but their weight was comparable, and the shipping distance was a bit farther than Liu Yifeng's. Therefore, the shipping cost was slightly higher than Liu Yifeng's.
Liu Yifeng had originally intended to pay for the shipping, but Xia Qianqian refused. She directly gave the deliveryman a hundred yuan and the rest as a tip.
By the time the luggage was sorted, it was already noon, 12 o'clock. Du Ziheng walked in. "You're all here. It's lunchtime, let's go eat. Yifeng, I've just arranged a lunch with my friend, and we'll all eat together!"
"Thank you, Brother Du!" Liu Yifeng said gratefully. He hadn't expected Du Ziheng to be so concerned about his matters.
Du Ziheng immediately said, "What's there to thank? You call me Brother Du, so it's only right that I help you. Besides, I'm just putting in a word. Ultimately, you'll have to discuss the specific details yourselves, and I can't guarantee success!"
"Regardless, I still need to thank you for making the connection. I'll toast you properly at lunch!"
"No need for drinks. Aren't you driving back? We'll have tea instead of wine!"
"That might not be appropriate. When negotiating cooperation, it's customary to drink." Liu Yifeng said.
Du Ziheng was unconcerned. "It's fine, it's fine. My friend isn't that petty. He doesn't drink much himself."
Seeing that Du Ziheng insisted, Liu Yifeng didn't say anything more.
A while later, they drove to the restaurant.
The other party arrived before them. Seeing Du Ziheng enter with so many people, he immediately stood up with a smile. "Is this Tong Tong? My son is a fan of yours and wants to follow your example!"
"Thank you, Uncle, for the compliment!" Tong Tong replied politely.
"This child is so well-behaved. Seeing him today, he truly lives up to his reputation!" The man patted Tong Tong's head.
"Zhang Jin, this is the Brother Liu I told you about. The vegetables he grows are incredibly popular in five-star hotels, loved by both the elderly and children. You're in the vegetable wholesale business, so dealing with his vegetables is definitely the right choice!"
The man named Zhang Jin enthusiastically extended his hand. "Hello, hello. I've heard of you from Ziheng for a long time. Mr. Liu, you are indeed young and promising, and you have such an excellent son. You're truly a winner in life."
"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Zhang!" Liu Yifeng also smiled and extended his hand.
"And this is my cousin. You mentioned before that you watched the show 'The Brain,' so you must have seen my cousin!" Du Ziheng introduced his cousin with pride.
Xia Qianqian was a bit embarrassed. "Brother Zhang, I'm just an unremarkable singer. People who see me might not have a strong impression."
"I have a deep impression of you. I believe you will have a long and successful career. I never imagined you were Ziheng's cousin."
Xia Qianqian wasn't sure if Zhang Jin was saying this intentionally or if he genuinely thought highly of her. But regardless of the truth, she should politely say thank you.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Du Ziheng said, "Aren't you tired of standing? Let's sit down and talk. My stomach is growling with hunger."
"Ziheng, you still have such a big appetite. I remember when I first met you three years ago, it was at a banquet. You ate two bowls of rice, a plate of fried noodles, and a large bottle of soda by yourself, astonishing everyone. But what shocked me most was that despite eating so much, you still maintained such a good figure. I really don't know how you do it."
