Chapter 22 A Good Opportunity

Upon arrival, Zhou Shufen and Qin Guifang accompanied her off the train and took a taxi directly to a nearby hospital.

Upon arrival at the hospital, the doctor quickly made a diagnosis and immediately took appropriate measures.

The nurse quickly started an IV drip, and the patient's vital signs gradually stabilized.

Although he still needs to be hospitalized for observation for a while, the doctor said that the situation is basically fine.

During this time, Zhou Shufen stayed by her side the whole time, busying herself with everything, from asking about the doctor's condition to adjusting the bedding and taking care of the IV drip.

Looking at the woman now, her complexion had improved considerably, regaining some of its rosy hue, and even her voice had regained strength.

"If it weren't for you today, I really don't know what would have happened! You are truly my savior!"

"Don't mention it. Now that I've run into this situation, I should definitely lend a hand."

Zhou Shufen smiled slightly and gently shook her head.

"Look, you're much better now. We should go back now; we still have things to do at home."

She said goodbye to the lady and turned to call Qin Guifang to prepare to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

The lady hurriedly spoke while tidying up the stray hairs on her forehead.

"Oh? Is there anything else? If you need anything, I can help."

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Shufen turned around, stopped decisively, and even subconsciously rolled up her sleeves, revealing an expression that suggested she was ready to lend a helping hand at any moment, her demeanor natural and generous.

"no."

The lady smiled slightly.

"You saved my life, you should at least leave your phone number."

She expressed her gratitude in a gentle tone, her eyes filled with sincerity.

He then gently shifted his body to the side, making room for her, and gestured with his hand to invite Zhou Shufen to sit down.

"It's alright, I didn't save you so that you would repay me."

Zhou Shufen waved her hand again, a frank and open-minded smile appearing on her face.

"Then we've become acquainted, which is fate, I suppose."

Yao Mingzhu did not give up her good intentions.

She moved a little further, making the seat a bit wider.

"You saved me and helped me out of a predicament. I don't even know your name. I'd feel bad if I didn't sit down and chat for a while."

Zhou Shufen understood after observing her attitude.

It seems that this noblewoman is a very sentimental person.

Moreover, I can't leave for the time being.

So she simply walked back and sat down next to Yao Mingzhu.

The two went from strangers to acquaintances, one after the other.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed, and more topics came up.

"It's quite a coincidence, but the first time I saw you two dressed, I knew you weren't locals."

Yao Mingzhu spoke tentatively.

"Yes, we are not locals."

Zhou Shufen nodded.

"They came from out of town."

Yao Mingzhu has a good eye for talent.

Ordinary people often find it difficult to discern someone's identity and background at a glance.

She made her judgment almost immediately upon first meeting the two.

Even Zhou Shufen couldn't help but admire this.

"Are you here on business or for sightseeing?"

She pressed on, her tone revealing a hint of curiosity, but not excessive enthusiasm.

Looking at Zhou Shufen and Qin Guifang in front of her, and considering the long journey, it was clear that this was not an ordinary sightseeing trip.

They must have come specifically to accomplish something important.

"We came here to check out the clothing market."

Zhou Shufen did not hide anything.

“I’m interested in starting a small business. The clothing industry is really hot right now, and I’ve been eyeing it for a while, so I decided to make a trip to check it out.”

She spoke frankly and without any hesitation.

Yao Mingzhu's eyes lit up after hearing this.

She was still thinking about how to repay Zhou Shufen for saving her life, but she didn't expect that such a suitable opportunity would come so quickly, it was like a golden opportunity delivered to her door.

"Are you going to start a clothing-related business?"

She said with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

“I have a wide network of contacts in the south and I know a lot of people. It’s troublesome and inefficient for you to go to the market one by one. It’s better for me to contact the manufacturers and suppliers directly for you. It will save you time and effort, and the price will be much cheaper.”

As she spoke, her emotions became even more heightened.

He then stood up and began to tell the story vividly from his seat.

He was full of energy.

“I know all these manufacturers well, and each one is very reliable.”

"Really? I haven't even had a chance to ask you what you do yet!"

Zhou Shufen smiled, her face showing interest.

But I still had some reservations and didn't completely believe it.

“I’m from Gangcheng. My dad does all sorts of businesses, and my family is currently investing in a garment factory. We were worried about not finding a suitable partner, but then we unexpectedly met you.”

Yao Mingzhu spoke in a very lighthearted tone.

"I've seen your performance just now, and I have a general understanding of your character. If you're willing to join, I'm truly confident in entrusting things to you."

This was truly an unexpected turn of events; who would have thought that I would faint simply because of low blood sugar?

Instead, they found an ideal partner.

"Thank you so much, really! We know nothing about this area, and if you could help us make the connection, it would be a huge help!"

"Yes, it's really great to have your help. This way, we don't have to run around everywhere. Sometimes, you know, fate is something you just can't explain!"

Qin Guifang seized the opportunity to interject.

"Then it's settled! You all go back and get some rest tonight. I'll arrange everything here, and we'll go see the factory together tomorrow."

As Yao Mingzhu spoke, she clapped her hands lightly.

“Okay, when I came in I saw a hotel across the street. It was clean and quiet, so let’s stay there. My name is Zhou Shufen.”

She nodded, gave her name, and arranged the meeting place.

"Okay, I was so happy I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Yao Mingzhu. I'll just pick you up from the hotel tomorrow."

Yao Mingzhu readily agreed, her tone as decisive and efficient as ever.

"We'll be going now. Take good care of yourself and recover. Thank you for your hard work today."

Subsequently, Zhou Shufen and Qin Guifang left the hospital without incident.

We checked into the clean and tidy hotel across the street together.

After a long day of travel, Zhou Shufen managed to doze off in the car, but it wasn't as restful as sleeping at home.

That short nap is far from enough to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

Her eyes were a little sore, and her head felt a bit heavy.

Qin Guifang woke up almost as soon as she closed her eyes.

She wasn't used to long-distance travel to begin with, and with something on her mind, she couldn't sleep well at all.

As soon as they entered the hotel room, they collapsed onto the bed, neither wanting to move.

They placed their suitcases and some personal belongings on the table.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law leaned against each other on the bed, their heads touching, but neither of them closed their eyes and fell asleep first.

They were both awake, staring at the ceiling, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps just waiting for the other to speak.

"Mom, the more I think about it, the more nervous I get," Qin Guifang finally spoke up. "We're going to see the factory tomorrow, but everything's going so smoothly. Doesn't it feel a little unreal?"

Her tone was tinged with surprise and disbelief.
