Mid-August, after the start of autumn, had seen several autumn rains, and the temperature gradually decreased. In the morning, after kissing her two sons who were still groggily sleeping, Li Xianglu and Qin Xi grabbed their bags and went to work.
Li Xianglu's unit's autumn work attire was that kind of old-fashioned small lapel suit, dark grey in color, with matching trousers. Li Xianglu wore a white shirt underneath, tied her slightly grown-out hair into a little bunny tail, and on her feet were a pair of black flat leather shoes, which she had been wearing for half a year and found very comfortable.
When they reached the crossroads, they greeted each other and parted ways; Qin Xi had to ride for another ten-plus minutes to reach her destination, while Li Xianglu was already at her unit.
There wasn't much to prepare; after putting away her bag she just waited for the armored vehicle to deliver the money.
