According to Manager Gao, he can take personal leave as long as the team leader agrees and thinks work can be arranged, then it will be approved by the manager.
Team Leader Huang agreed but said He Kao could only take a maximum of two weeks off, any longer was absolutely impossible!
Two weeks was already long enough, exceeding He Kao's expectations. Manager Gao approved but also told He Kao that personal leave would mean a deduction in pay... deduct away, he could continue his journey north anyway.
Gao Xue'e had of course long known about his self-driving trip to Kuan Chun, and upon hearing that he planned to continue north, she privately asked him if he was going to Da'anling to harvest wild ginseng.
He Kao replied with a smile: "Yes, if I get the chance to find a hundred-year-old ginseng king, this trip would be fully paid for and could earn many times over!"
Joking aside, this really wasn't the season for harvesting ginseng.
