Within half a day, Wen Zhichao had become close friends with the people around him.

Xia Ruzheng was still puzzled. How had Wen Zhichao, apparently a quiet talker, suddenly become so familiar with everyone? He listened carefully and discovered that Wen Zhichao was still as brief as ever, but his answers were always to the point. Even when his responses weren't particularly enthusiastic, he was willing to continue the conversation. It seemed like the talkative person was dominating the conversation, but in reality, it was Wen Zhichao himself.

Seeing this, Xia Ruzheng felt relieved. He had been worried that Wen Zhichao wouldn't be able to negotiate business because he wasn't good with words, but now it seemed like he was a master of conversation! Others had already been led astray by him without even realizing it.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, thinking that he was wearing high-power glasses in this life.

The train stopped and started for over a day before reaching Guangzhou. I was so exhausted that I felt like I was falling apart.

Wen Zhichao held Xia Ruzheng's hand tightly, fearing that she would be pushed away.

When others saw Wen Zhichao, they automatically made way for him as if they had seen something that they should not touch.

Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but think that the customs of the people in Guangzhou are not that open-minded!

"Do you want to eat or sleep? If you're hungry, let's eat first. If you're sleepy, let's find a hotel first."

Xia Ruzheng actually wanted to rest first, but after thinking about it, he said, "Let's eat something and drink something first. After we're full, we can take a nap. When we're refreshed, we can find a house."

Although business development was slow at this time, hotels in Guangzhou were still more expensive than elsewhere. Only after finding a place to stay could I truly relax.

Wen Zhichao said: "Okay, you have a really good plan."

Xia Ruzheng was embarrassed. Why did he feel that Wen Zhichao was somewhat doting on him?

The two of them ate something and drank a large bowl of soup in the store. Wen Zhichao then asked the store owner about nearby hotels and other things, and soon he had a clear understanding of the surrounding situation.

Finding a house at this time is not like later, where there are various local websites and you can just contact them according to the information to view the house. You really need to find it yourself step by step.

Although Guangzhou showed signs of revival in the 1980s, the houses were still small and the streets were still narrow, not much better than the cities in the mainland.

After resting in the hotel for one night, the two had breakfast and started looking for a house.

Wen Zhichao took Xia Ruzheng as they walked and looked around. Fortunately, the two of them didn't carry much luggage, so they were not very tired even with the luggage.

Partly because the two of them were dressed quite fashionably, unlike the others who were carrying large and small bags, although everyone stared at Wen Zhichao because of his white hair, they did not guard against him as if he were a thief.

After walking for most of the day, Wen Zhichao said, "I think this neighborhood is nice. The houses don't look that old. And you can see we've come across quite a few street vendors along the way, which shows that the people here are quite wealthy. If you want to do business, you can do it here. And the security here seems pretty good, too."

Xia Ruzheng had never been to Guangzhou in his previous life, and he didn't know what Guangzhou looked like. Of course, he didn't know where the current Guangzhou city would be in the future. He just felt that this was not cost-effective.

"Zhichao, if this place is really good, the rent might not be cheap." Even though the two of them brought some money, Xia Ruzheng didn't want to spend it so quickly. No matter what time, the more money you have, the more confident you will be!

Wen Zhichao said, "Just listen to me about renting the house this time, okay?"

Xia Ruzheng thought that his past life had been wasted, and that the social experience of his two lives combined was not as good as Wen Zhichao's. So he nodded and said, "Okay! Then you must not let others take advantage of you!"

Wen Zhichao said: "Don't worry!"

The two men entered a grocery store, exchanged a few words with the owner, and then asked the owner about the rental situation nearby.

The shop owner spoke Sichuan dialect. Xia Ruzheng felt that he was talking a lot, but she didn't hear many of his words clearly. However, Wen Zhichao communicated with him very smoothly.

After getting the information he needed, Wen Zhichao took Xia Ruzheng to look at houses, some in the alleyways and some facing the street. Finally, Wen Zhichao and Xia Ruzheng rented a house in the alleyway. This house had two rooms, one inside and one outside, and shared a bathroom and kitchen with the host family. Of course, if you wanted, you could set up a small kitchen in the yard. The monthly rent was 30 cents per day, or 8 yuan per month. Wen Zhichao thought about it and decided to rent it for a month.

It was said that the man of the house worked in a nearby cotton mill. The woman had also worked there before, but now she had just given birth and was staying home to take care of the child.

She must be an ordinary employee, otherwise she wouldn't be taking maternity leave.

The woman had a dark skin because she had just given birth to a child. She was a little plump and short.

Wen Zhichao said that he would give the money after signing the contract. The woman immediately turned around and went into the house to take out a handwritten contract, saying that they had asked someone to write it a long time ago and they had already put their fingerprints on it. If they wanted to rent it, they just had to put their fingerprints on it.

Wen Zhichao took the contract and looked at it carefully. He pressed his fingerprint when he saw no verbal traps and said, "This should be a copy for each of us. If there is no other copy, I can rewrite one."

The woman didn't expect that they could read and write, and she secretly thanked her lucky stars that she didn't tamper with the contract, otherwise she would have lost such a straightforward tenant.

After re-copying the contract, the woman saw that the handwriting looked the same and was about the same length, so she pressed her fingerprint on it. Wen Zhichao also pressed his fingerprint on it before giving her eight dollars.

After Wen Zhichao and Xia Ruzheng went to the new house, the woman secretly sighed in the house that people who have read and written are different. She must tell the man that all her children will be sent to school in the future. No matter how difficult it is, they must study. Only by studying will she not be afraid of suffering losses.
