Lin Chuxia smiled, "Rong City is just one of the first cities to develop. If you look further south at the open coastal cities, they’re probably even more prosperous."
Hou Xiaobao was full of longing, "When I have the money, I really want to check it out."
Jia Liang glared at him, "Aren’t you still saving up to get married? Stick with the boss and work hard, and you’ll get your chance to see the world."
He whispered the latter part to him.
Naturally, Hou Xiaobao took the boss’s words as gospel and nodded solemnly.
Lin Chuxia and Wang Tianxue had already reached the front desk, where the group of six, three men and three women, took two rooms.
It wasn’t really to save money; when you’re out and about, it’s safer to stick together.
There was a restaurant next to the guesthouse. After settling in, Jia Liang didn’t let them go out again. He and Hou Xiaobao went to the restaurant to buy some food and brought it back to eat.
It was only after everyone had eaten their fill, taken showers, and lay down on their beds that they truly felt comfortable.
"Let’s sleep early, we’ll be busy again tomorrow."
Wang Tianxue was indeed full of confidence.
Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but ask, "Have you been to Rong City before?"
By asking if she had been here, she clearly wasn’t referring to visiting her aunt by marriage to see family. Being so familiar with the guesthouse must be due to business interactions.
Wang Tianxue nodded, "I have. Yang Rui wanted to network upwards, so I thought of my aunt by marriage here in Rong City. I led him here on a few trips before. Later, when I was pregnant, he started coming here on his own."
Alright, what a Chen Shimei.
Lin Chuxia didn’t ask any more questions and went to sleep.
To deal with someone like Chen Shimei, you need to let him fall from where he climbed up; that’s what he gets for his disloyalty.
The next morning, everyone woke up bright and early.
Lin Chuxia hadn’t slept well on the train, but last night she had a good rest, waking up looking radiant.
Houzi and the others knocked on the door, saying that they’d go out for breakfast together before going back to get ready.
Lin Chuxia changed into a white shirt and gray trousers and applied some lipstick before leaving.
As she finished applying it, she turned her head and noticed Wang Tianxue watching her.
She casually offered the lipstick, "Want some?"
She remembered, in her past life, this lady loved to look pretty, too—it was only after losing her child that she started to look dreadful.
Sure enough, Wang Tianxue took the lipstick, "I won’t be polite then. Your lipstick is pretty. I’ll buy one myself when I earn some money."
Lin Chuxia generously waved her hand, "I’ll give you this one, I have others."
She turned to ask Liu Na, "Do you want to put some on?"
Liu Na quickly shook her head, as if she had chewed on a dead mouse.
The other two saw her disgusted expression and guessed the unspoken words, and they both laughed.
Wang Tianxue said, "Lipstick makes you look more lively."
Though she and her aunt by marriage were miles apart, they were very close.
Her aunt’s family had issues when she was young, and her aunt even stayed at her house for a while.
