After asking for the address of the Friendship Store, the two stopped wandering around and headed straight for their destination.

Lin Chengyu kept glancing at the people following us out of the corner of his eye, and said to Song Ziqing, "Ziqing, there are two people following us. The people following us are completely unskilled. Should we shake them off?!"

Song Ziqing shook his head and said, "They know which hotel we're staying at. Even if we shake them off now, they'll find us later."

"Should we change hotels later?"

Lin Chengyu dislikes being stared at the most; it makes him uncomfortable.

He used to live like a shadow, but now that he's spent a few days with Song Ziqing, things are chaotic every day. He feels like his life might never be peaceful again.

However, he did it willingly for Song Ziqing's sake.

Song Ziqing disliked living like a rat, hiding and hiding, and directly shook her head to reject Lin Chengyu's idea. "We bought tickets for the day after tomorrow morning, so we only have a little over a day to stay in Guangzhou. We'll leave Guangzhou right away then, so there's no need to be afraid of these locals."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. For the next two days, let's avoid remote and sensitive places. Once we leave Guangzhou, we won't have to worry about these people anymore."

Song Ziqing has an optimistic personality and always looks at things from a positive perspective. Negative emotions are easily dismissed by her subconscious.

Lin Chengyu didn't like to force her. The two of them arrived at the largest Friendship Store in Guangzhou in about twenty minutes. Song Ziqing took out a wad of foreign exchange rolls from her backpack and showed them to the person at the door before they were allowed to enter the Friendship Store.

Upon entering the store, Song Ziqing smiled and looked at Lin Chengyu, saying, "We both carried big bags today. Let's buy some small, unique items. I didn't dare use foreign exchange certificates in Shanghai before, so let's take advantage of this rare opportunity and spend them all."

Lin Chengyu usually doesn't have high demands for material things, but standing at the door, looking at the dazzling array of goods in the Friendship Store, he actually felt the urge to make a purchase.

He didn't stand on ceremony with Song Ziqing, "I'd like to buy some things later, could you pay for them with foreign exchange certificates?"

“Okay, tell me in a bit how many foreign exchange certificates you need, and I’ll save them for you. I want to spend the rest of the foreign exchange certificates directly. Once we’re on Hainan Island, there won’t be many opportunities to leave the island again.”

Song Ziqing's foreign exchange certificates were obtained by her parents from correspondence with relatives and friends abroad in the first half of the year. There were quite a few of these certificates. When she was in Shanghai, she dared not spend them. Now that she has come to Guangzhou, Song Ziqing feels that if she doesn't spend them, all these foreign exchange certificates will be wasted.

"Okay, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Lin Chengyu came to the item he wanted to see and carefully examined a pair of mutton fat Hetian jade bracelets. Judging from the quality and craftsmanship, he knew they wouldn't be cheap.

He waved and when the waiter came over, he quickly asked about the price in English. He also pointed to a pair of silver rings next to the jade bracelet and found that they were very cheap, so he asked the waiter to wrap them all up for him.

When Song Ziqing saw that the jewelry he bought was all made to fit her own finger and wrist sizes, she knew that he was buying jewelry for the two of them to get married.

This time, Song Ziqing didn't give him a friendly look, but she still generously handed him the foreign exchange certificates. Lin Chengyu noticed the sudden blush on her cheeks and knew that Song Ziqing had tacitly agreed to their marriage.

Meanwhile, Song Ziqing also bought a set of Blue Ocean Jadeite jewelry, including a pair of bracelets, a pair of rings, a pair of earrings, a necklace, and a hairpin. All of these pieces were handmade by veteran craftsmen, and such a set might only appear once every few years.

She bought it for a hefty price.

If you see something good, you should buy it.

It's all about scarcity making things valuable!

Song Ziqing now feels that foreign exchange certificates are too useless and that it would be better to exchange them for jewelry that holds its value.

She also bought several uncarved Changhua chicken-blood stones, all of which were top-quality "big red robes," and one special "Liu, Guan, and Zhang" stone. Such chicken-blood stones are extremely rare.

These items were small in size and were easily placed into Song Ziqing's backpack, taking up virtually no space.

Next, Song Ziqing went to a Swiss luxury watch counter and directly selected a pair of limited edition Patek Philippe watches, which were exquisitely crafted and beautiful.

This is the wedding gift she plans to give to Lin Chengyu. With such a watch, when he goes out on business, many discerning people will look at him with more respect.

In times of real trouble, this Patek Philippe watch can be a lifesaver, since in this day and age, a watch is one of the four essential items.

Especially since these watches are from a renowned Swiss brand, the longer such a brand is preserved, the higher its value will remain.

Next, Song Ziqing went to various tea counters and selected a small can of Wuyi Mountain Mother Tree Da Hong Pao, which is the most expensive and rarest tea in China.

She originally wanted to buy more, but the tea was too rare. There was only a small jar on the tea cabinet. If she was too slow, it might be snatched away by another middle-aged man next to her.

At this moment, the middle-aged man looked at Song Ziqing pitifully, as if he had lost a lover, and asked, "Comrade, can I... can I exchange other teas for this Da Hong Pao with you?"

Song Ziqing quickly shook her head: "No, I also like this Da Hong Pao tea. I've heard so much about it. I'm so sorry I managed to snag it today!"

The middle-aged man persisted, asking, "This tin of tea contains two ounces. How about I trade two ounces of ten-year-old Baihao Yinzhen tea for your one tael of Da Hong Pao?"

"Two ounces? No way. You can buy this stuff if you put your mind to it and spend the money. But what I have is the original Da Hong Pao from the Wuyi Mountain mother tree. There are only a few ounces of it produced each year. It might take me ten years of luck to find it once."

Song Ziqing wasn't stupid. Her parents had lived in Shanghai for so many years and had never been able to buy Da Hong Pao tea at the Friendship Store, so she knew that this kind of tea was extremely rare.

She was lucky today, and since she encountered this opportunity, she didn't want to miss it.

However, she could also tell that the middle-aged man was no ordinary person, and she didn't want to offend him, so she could only use delaying tactics.

After all, if this person could really produce half a pound of ten-year-old Baihao Yinzhen tea, she would probably agree to the exchange, since this kind of white tea has great medicinal and collectible value.

Giving it to your parents to help them improve their health would be a good choice.

Her parents were in their thirties when she was born, and now they are both around fifty years old. Being sent to the countryside will definitely damage their health.

Song Ziqing planned to find more good things to help his parents improve their health.
