Soon He Wenjie saw Han Chunming walking from a distance in the company of two people. The three of them pushed their bicycles as they walked, and each had a small shoulder bag. To He Wenjie's surprise, Cai Xiaoli turned out to be one of the people accompanying Han Chunming; he had not expected her to be assigned to the food factory as well. Seeing Cai Xiaoli gave He Wenjie an idea right away. He said to the security guards, "Brothers, I've run into my friend, so I'll head over first. Here's half a pack of cigarettes for you all to share. My friend doesn't like me smoking, so we'll chat another day."
Seeing He Wenjie simply hand out half a pack of cigarettes like that, the guards felt embarrassed to stop him for what technically violated factory rules. Anyway, it was off-duty hours, and He Wenjie wouldn't be going far before coming out.
He Wenjie strode over to Han Chunming and the other two. Seeing He Wenjie approach, both Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli said in pleasant surprise, "He Wenjie? What are you doing here?"
