Eighty's Military Marriage: The Disliked Me Became the Richest Man in the City

Originally the female CEO of a high-end catering brand, Xia Enruo drowned while vacationing in Hainan to watch the underwater starry sky and transmigrated to the 1980s. Her past life was full of gl...

Chapter 187 Encountering an Acquaintance

Ge Qiuqin made thorough preparations for the relocation of the laundry room.

The fact that her eldest and second children were in primary school didn't have a big impact. The main problem was that her youngest son and daughter were of daycare age, and her new workplace was too far from home, so she had to find another place.

She asked Xia Enruo for a day off and took her two children to see if there were any suitable daycare centers near the central street.

Ge Qiuqin has changed dramatically. The age spots on her face have completely disappeared after she consistently applied the oil formulated by Xia Enruo. Her skin has become white and tender, and people would believe that she looks ten years younger. Indeed, the face is the first window to a person's life.

She went to the hair salon again after the New Year to get her hair permed, and her image completely changed.

Wearing the wool coat I bought for the New Year, I looked just like any other female cadre in my workplace, except that I was a little chubby.

Xia Enruo repeatedly told her to take good care of her figure and taught her all her yoga.

Ge Qiuqin has now started to control her diet and has also started exercising when she gets home in the evening.

Zhang Zhicheng was puzzled when he saw it, so he asked him about it.

"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you twisting your body like that, like a pretzel?"

Ge Qiuqin laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up.

"Silly son, what do you mean by twisted dough sticks? I learned this from your Aunt Xia; it's called yoga training."

They say it can help you exercise and shape your body; Mom uses it to lose weight!

Zhang Zhicheng still didn't understand. Twisting your hair into a pretzel could be good exercise, but Aunt Xia was probably right.

Aunt Xia is the best friend to my mom!

Ge Qiuqin led her two children to the street.

Walking down the main street, she made a detour into the alley to visit the company.

After all, I'll be working here in the future, so I want my two kids to get acquainted with the place.

"Third and fourth sons, remember this gate and these two signs! Your mother will work here from now on."

"We'll be busy in a couple of days, and we won't be able to go home. You two and your brother will have to stay here tonight."

The two little ones nodded; as long as they could live with their mother, anywhere was fine.

After strolling around the compound, I noticed that Meng Fei's construction team was making pretty good progress; the flower beds they were building were nearing completion.

"My sister-in-law is here."

The workers greeted Ge Qiuqin when they saw her.

"Yes, it's great that you brought your child to look for a school nearby. Thank you for your hard work."

I never expected the yard to change so much in just a few days. You guys did a great job!

Ge Qiuqin has now developed the ability to remain calm and talk freely even when meeting unfamiliar people.

In the past, she rarely spoke.

"Sister-in-law, the project is almost finished. Your company should be opening soon, right? You must invite us to the wedding banquet so we can share in Boss Xia's joy."

"That's no problem at all. Xia told me that she'll invite you to the store for a nice feast once it's finished. After two months of hard work, it's finally going to be a great success!"

After leaving the company, Ge Qiuqin took her child to visit two daycare centers.

However, she was not satisfied with the environment.

The kindergarten building was too dark; staying in that light for too long made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

Another one has no yard and is right next to a busy road, where children play on the curb, which is very unsafe.

Now that Ge Qiuqin has money, her demands have also increased.

If you earn money, who else will you spend it on if not your children? Of course, you should give them the best.

The mother and her two daughters were walking on the main street, passing by the entrance of Jufuzhuang Restaurant.

Qin Gang had nothing to do, so he was sunbathing at the door.

He watched the three approaching from afar. He recognized Ge Qiuqin at a glance.

Although I only caught a brief glance at Xia Enruo when I left her shop last time, the impression was extremely deep.

"Um... girl!"

Qin Gang didn't know what to call them, so he called out to the three of them.

Hearing the noise, Ge Qiuqin looked around.

I don't know anyone here.

"Hey girl!"

Qin Gang raised his voice and shouted again.

Ge Qiuqin heard it clearly this time. She turned around and saw someone waving at her.

Qin Gang stepped down the steps and walked over: "Little sister, don't you remember me!"

Ge Qiuqin recognized the sign, but couldn't quite place it. She looked up at the sign "Jufuzhuang" and then her gaze fell on Qin Gang's large gold chain.

"Ah, it's you! You went to Xia's shop last time..."

Sure enough, the big gold chain looked familiar. Ge Qiuqin remembered that she had told Xia Enruo before that he looked like a hoodlum.

"My name is Qin Gang, we meet again!"

Qin Gang extended his hand and introduced himself.

Ge Qiuqin was a little reserved; it was the first time a man had reached out his hand to her.

She paused for a moment, then reached out and lightly grasped his fingers.

"I'm so sorry, we met in such a rush last time. I see so many customers in the store every day that I didn't recognize you at first."

"Don't you know my name yet? What's your surname?"

Ge Qiuqin found it difficult to adapt to Qin Gang's questions.

It's been a long time since anyone called me "sister." Ever since I moved to Yongning, everyone I meet calls me "sister-in-law."

She always felt that she was already quite old, so being suddenly called "little sister" was a bit of a shock.

“My name is Ge Qiuqin. I’m not used to you calling me ‘sister’ all of a sudden. Xia and the others call me ‘sister-in-law’ every day.”

Qin Gang nodded.

"I am 36 years old this year."

"I am 33 years old this year."

When Ge Qiuqin heard Qin Gang say his age, she said it too.

"That's perfect, it's fine for me to call you 'little sister'!"

I've been sitting here for a long time, and finally I bumped into someone I know. That's quite rare.

"Brother Qin Gang, Xia told me a long time ago that you opened a very big restaurant on Central Street. Seeing it today, it's definitely true!"

No wonder she kept praising you in the store; your success is something many people envy.

Qin Gang blushed slightly after hearing Ge Qiuqin's praise. He hadn't felt shy like this in a long time. He didn't know what was wrong with him today.

"Qiuqin, you flatter me. It's just that we've expanded a lot, but we haven't been around for many years."

"That's really impressive. I used to think that running a private business wasn't something to be proud of, but working with Xia in the laundry room completely changed my perspective."

Now I truly understand the saying, "Every profession has its top performers." As long as you work hard and can earn money to live a good life, being self-employed is no worse than having a secure job!

When Qin Gang heard Ge Qiuqin say this, he was truly surprised by her high level of awareness; she was truly remarkable.

"The girl is right. As long as we live a good life and don't take the wrong path, we can do anything!"

"Why did you bring your child today?"

"Oh, I'm taking the kids around looking for daycare centers nearby, hoping to enroll them in one. We've looked at two but aren't satisfied, so we're looking for more."

Qin Gang looked at the two little ones, who were chubby-cheeked and very cute.

Since his ex-wife passed away in an accident, she has not left him with any children.

As he gets older, he now loves seeing children!
