Chapter 257: A Side Job for My Second Brother

Lin Rui had no doubts about Lin Xiaoxia's business: "Okay, my sister said it's about making money, so there's no problem."

After saying this, Lin Rui looked at the three people's confused expressions and quickly emphasized, "Don't think my sister is a little girl who speaks nonsense. My sister is a business genius. She has a hotel and a restaurant. The restaurant is about to open two more branches. She also has a bath center and is about to open a food factory. What she says is guaranteed to succeed."

To be honest, when Lin Xiaoxia first said this, Ma Tianming and the other three didn't take it too seriously, because no one would take the words of a girl in her early twenties too seriously, especially since Lin Xiaoxia was beautiful. Everyone's first impression was based on her looks, and they really didn't expect that she was a career-oriented girl.

Wang Kai still had a doubtful feeling: "No, Xiaoxia is only in her early twenties. How old was she when she started doing business?"

Lin Rui said proudly: "Otherwise I would say my sister is talented. In less than a year, she has already started."

Lin Xiaoxia said modestly, "I was also lucky. I met a good partner. He has the capital, I have the brains, and my husband is also capable, so our family has the money to open a factory. Anyway, it's not just my credit. But don't worry, I've thought about this dried seafood business before. It's very safe. When the time comes, you can just use a large bus to ship it over here, and you can save more every year."

Chen Hui's family sells seafood, so he said, "I have experience in this matter. My uncle does this. I can contact the source of goods. Whoever is free among the three of us can deliver the goods. It won't delay things."

Ma Tianming said: "I really didn't expect that we could become businessmen here?"

Wang Kai also laughed and said, "From now on, if I want to treat friends to a meal or something, I don't have to ask my wife for permission."

Lin Xiaoxia quickly said, "You should ask your sister-in-law for permission. It will help the harmony between husband and wife."

Everyone laughed at this, but they also said that they didn't invest any money, they were just responsible for shipping, so they didn't need to be paid much. They were satisfied with having some pocket money a year to show that they had a side job. After all, as men, they would have face when they talked about it with colleagues and friends.

Lin Xiaoxia listened to their innocent conversation and found it really amusing. These people were a bit like Lin Rui. They probably came from well-off families without so many hardships, so they had less experience and thought less. No wonder they had such a good relationship.

However, the business has not started yet, so Lin Xiaoxia doesn't want to brag. She just told everyone that she guarantees that everyone will be surprised when the time comes.

After talking for a while, it was getting late and the restaurant was about to close, so they prepared to leave.

When they arrived at the door, Lin Rui told them that he would contact them by phone if there was anything. After saying goodbye to each other, Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui also took a car back to the hotel.

The brother and sister's rooms were next to each other. They discussed tomorrow's arrangements. Tomorrow they would go to the newspaper office to publish missing person notices for several days in a row, and then go to the bus station to ask the older employees if they noticed that a four or five-year-old girl was missing there thirteen years ago. Because Lin Mei was less than four years old at the time, she had a young birthday and looked young, so when they asked, they also gave a larger age range. After discussing it, Lin Rui returned to the room.

Lin Xiaoxia took a bath to wash away the fatigue of the day, then lay on the bed and called Lu Jingshen.

Lu Jingshen was waiting for Lin Xiaoxia's call at home. When he heard the phone ringing, he quickly picked it up.

Lin Xiaoxia did not hide her longing for him: "Depth of Field, I miss you."

Lu Jingshen heard his wife's voice, her tone full of longing: "I missed you too, wife. Did you have a smooth journey today? How was the food? Are you used to it? The wind is strong in coastal cities, so I should have asked you to wear more clothes."

Lin Xiaoxia laughed when she heard what Lu Jingshen said: "I'm such a grown-up, how can I not take care of myself? Besides, I brought so much money with me. If it's cold, I can buy clothes. I will eat whatever I want. I won't treat myself badly. What about you? Did you cheat on your dinner?"

"Without you at home, everything I eat tastes the same, wife. Otherwise, I'll go over there tomorrow."

"Really, there's no need. If these things affect your work, I'll feel stressed. Don't worry, you don't know my abilities. How can you be bullied?"

"But I miss you every day I haven't seen you. When I think about not seeing you for a few more days, my heart feels like it's been scratched by a cat."

"Why are you becoming more and more spoiled? Actually, it's good for us to be apart from each other occasionally. Or they say a short absence is better than a new marriage. When I come back, won't we be better than a new marriage?"

"Just coax me, you really have to be careful when you are out there, should the second brother come back early?"

"Well, I don't want you to be delayed in your work, so let him go back early. Besides, I want to investigate the market while I'm here. There are many businesses to be done here."

"You little money-grubber, but remember, no matter what you do, you have to ensure your own safety, okay?"

"I know. Don't worry. I'll try to go back as soon as possible."

The two of them stayed together for a while before hanging up the phone.

The next morning, Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui went to the newspaper office and posted a missing person notice for three days to see the effect.

After coming out, the two went to the bus station again to confirm whether the older staff there had any impression of what happened thirteen years ago.

After asking around, I found no one.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaoxia and Lin Rui went to the Station Front Public Security Bureau, but still had no clues.

Finally, the two of them went to the orphanage and searched every possible place. What if someone took Lin Mei home, then didn't like her anymore and threw her away again? Or maybe she was sent to the orphanage again.

There are three welfare homes in Bincheng. After the two of them visited all three welfare homes, it was dark and they still had no clues.

After dinner, Lin Xiaoxia chatted with Lin Rui for a while after returning to the hotel. Then she said to him, "Second brother, you can go back tomorrow. The rest is just a matter of waiting for news. I'll wait here and look around. I'll also post the missing person notice around the area."

Lin Rui said: "I'll stay here with you for another day. This is your first time in Bincheng, and you're not familiar with it."

"Really, there's no need. You're a doctor, you save the dying and the wounded. You should go back to the hospital as soon as possible. Don't tell Jing Shen where I am. It's useless to tell him to check my phone number. I may move to a new place tomorrow. He is a pillar of the country's construction development, and he doesn't need to bother me. I'm enough on my own. If there is anything, I will go to Ma Ge and the others. They also know that I live here, and they will call me if there is anything. What are you worried about?"

"But I'm your brother. I've given you so much, and I can't let it go."
