"Qinglan, talking to you is always very enlightening. I wish you lived in Shenzhen too," Song Yi said sincerely.

Although Zhang Yu sometimes calls Zhao Qinglan "sister-in-law" because of Li Huai, Zhao Qinglan and Song Yi don't have such formalities and always address each other by their first names.

Zhao Qinglan thought to herself, "If you had as many experiences as I do, you would also have a lot of life experience."

Perhaps because he was still traumatized by what happened at the last banquet, Zhang Yu didn't bring Zhao Qinglan to any similar events this time.

In fact, Zhao Qinglan dislikes these social engagements if she can avoid them.

Although she can't live in Shenzhen permanently, she can still come and stay for a few days occasionally.

For example, in the upscale residential community they are about to develop, Zhao Qinglan plans to keep one for herself after it is built, and decorate and furnish it according to her own preferred style.

When she comes to Shenzhen again in the future, she won't have to stay in a hotel anymore; she can stay at her own home.

When the children are on winter or summer vacation, we can also take them to stay in our house in Shenzhen.

After she told Song Yi about this idea, Song Yi immediately said that their family should also keep one house for themselves, and it should be next to Zhao Qinglan's house.

Zhao Qinglan naturally welcomed this, as the two families had a good relationship and living close by made things more convenient.

Besides chatting, she and Song Yi also made quite a few purchases while shopping together.

Now, almost every year, all the new clothes for the whole family for the Lunar New Year are bought by her from Shenzhen.

The main reason is that the clothes in Shenzhen are more fashionable and attractive, and the children like them very much. During the Chinese New Year, they are always the ones who stand out among their peers.

Perhaps inspired by Zhao Qinglan's previous suggestion, Song Yi took her to experience all the coffee shops in Shenzhen before she went home.

That's right, Song Yi is also planning to open her own coffee shop, one that's both stylish and elegant.

That's why she needs to take a good look at the market.

Although Zhao Qinglan is used to working in the food and beverage industry, she has never actually run a coffee shop before, and her only experience comes from her knowledge and experience in her previous life.

She wasn't sure if her insights were applicable at the moment, and she felt it would be good for Song Yi to do more research.

Although Shenzhen has developed rapidly in the past two years, there are still not many coffee shops, after all, Chinese people are not yet used to such drinks.

Most of the people who come to the coffee shop are foreigners from Shenzhen or people from Hong Kong.

After running around with Song Yi all day, the two of them sampled coffee from many different cafes. By the time they reached the last one, they were both exhausted.

So the two of them sat down to rest, but of course, they didn't forget to order something.

After the coffee was served, Song Yi only took a sip before starting to jot something down in her notebook, occasionally glancing up at the layout of the coffee shop.

Seeing Song Yi's serious expression, Zhao Qinglan found it quite amusing.

She didn't need to record these things; she could just look around at whatever was on either side.

Two people walked past the window; a man walked quickly, and a woman chased after him.

"Wang Fei, you can't do this to me!" the woman shouted, grabbing the man's arm.

The man shoved her arm away and said impatiently, "I've made myself very clear, it's a breakup. Do you even know what a breakup means?"

"But I've already...we've had sex! How could you do this to me?" The girl bit her lip, her eyes reddening.

Wang Fei smiled dismissively. "Can't you be a little more open-minded? What's wrong with having a relationship? In the West, it's a very normal thing. Besides, I didn't promise to give you money."

The girl became furious upon hearing that she was being offered money. "I don't want your money. What do you take me for?"

Wang Fei sneered. "Didn't you only want me because I'm rich?"

"But I... but I was serious later, you know that."

"I don't care if you're serious or not, we're over now, understand?"

After saying that, he strode away, and the girl slowly squatted down, hugging her knees and crying bitterly.

In the coffee shop, Zhao Qinglan only vaguely heard some words, but her expression was somewhat shocked.

"Song Yi, I'm going out for a bit." With that, she immediately got up and ran out.

"Hey, where are you going?" Song Yi called out, completely bewildered, but Zhao Qinglan had already run far away.

The girl was feeling sad when she heard someone talking to her from above. "Here's some tissue, wipe it off."

She looked up and saw a young and beautiful woman.

"Although I don't know why you're so sad, you can tell me if there's anything you want to talk about," Zhao Qinglan said, sounding like a caring older sister.

The girl was at a vulnerable and helpless time, and upon hearing this, she developed some affection for Zhao Qinglan.

Song Yi looked on in bewilderment as Zhao Qinglan rushed out first, and then came in with a young girl with red eyes.

After the girl went to the bathroom to wash her face, Zhao Qinglan ordered her a cup of hot cocoa. After she drank a few sips to warm up, the girl finally began to tell her story.

When the girl went to the restroom, Zhao Qinglan gave Song Yi a brief speech, implying that she would listen to her conversation with the girl and explain any questions after they returned.

Although Song Yi found it strange, she agreed.

After dumping his girlfriend, Wang Fei immediately contacted a few followers and went to a newly opened nightclub.

Because he was rich and generous, his followers praised him highly.

"Brother Wang, when are you going to let us meet some foreign girls from Hong Kong?"

Wang Fei was the youngest among them, yet he was respected by everyone, and he always paid for everyone's expenses when they went out.

Wang Fei leaned back and skillfully exhaled a smoke ring.

"Let's wait until I come back from the port city next time."

After saying that, he called over a waiter and ordered the most expensive drinks in the nightclub, and also asked him to bring out all the other food and drinks that were available.

Wang Fei's bold move naturally drew cheers and thanks from his followers.

He also thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being adored by everyone.

Although he always spoke of Hong Kong with an air of superiority, only he knew that he didn't enjoy the same treatment in Hong Kong as he did in Shenzhen.

Zhao Qinglan learned from the girl that the man who abandoned her was named Wang Fei and was eighteen years old.

Wang Fei is from Gangcheng and only came to Shenzhen this year. He said his family was opening a branch company here, and he was tired of staying in Gangcheng, so he volunteered to come over.

Because Wang Fei loved to show off, the girl knew quite a bit about him.

Although he only saw the man's profile, Wang Fei and Wang Xiaofei were both eighteen years old.

There was also what Sui Wenjing had told her: Old Lady Wang was showing off that her grandson had gone to the port city with his relatives to enjoy a life of luxury.

That man just now was very likely Wang Xiaofei!

If it really is Wang Xiaofei, she wouldn't be surprised at all that he did these things.

She hadn't heard from the Wang family for a long time, but deep down she was still quite wary of them, especially Wang Dazhi and Wang Xiaofei.

If Wang Xiaofei appears in Shenzhen, then how far away can Wang Dazhi be?
