Gu Shaoxuan sighed.

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you two were moving house."

"But all of these things are useful. Besides the gifts I bought for you, there are also a lot of fabrics and samples."

This is a task my sister-in-law assigned me; I dare not fail to complete it.

Seeing that one vehicle couldn't accommodate them all, Wu Shaojun simply used a public phone at the train station to call one of his workers.

They called another truck, and only then were they able to load the remaining suitcases onto it.

Gu Shaoying brought back a lot of new fabrics and patterns from Shanghai, as well as the most popular leather shoes in the South at the time.

Xia Enruo flipped through the pages and was quite satisfied. It seemed that her little sister's trip had been worthwhile.

They did bring back a lot of experience.

"Shaoying, how do you feel about Shanghai?"

"Sister-in-law, Shanghai is great. There are many new shops in the European-style buildings along the Bund. I went in and browsed around, and the prices were all quite high."

Many of the goods are imported, but there are still many customers. No wonder it's easy to do business in big cities; people still buy such expensive clothes.

However, the opposite bank in Pudong was completely empty; all that could be seen was a muddy swamp with many fishing boats moored along its banks. The wind carried the muddy, fishy smell of the river.

Xia Enruo learned from the newspaper that Pudong had just begun its development at that time, and no one knew that it would become the country's financial center and a landmark tourist attraction in the next few decades.

These days, I read in the newspapers that people still believe in the witty saying, "I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong."

However, she couldn't tell Gu Shaoying these things, otherwise she would definitely ask herself how she knew what would happen in the future.

"Little sister, right now Pudong may have nothing, but its geographical location is good. Who knows, the country might develop it in a few years."

Xia Enruo had already planned that she would ask Zhao Minghui to take the workers to Shanghai in a while to check out the real estate development projects in Pudong.

If it's feasible, act quickly and buy several street-front properties. Even if you just hoard them and wait for them to appreciate in value, you can still make a lot of money.
