Zeng Qingqing nodded, quickly squeezed through the crowd and went to find the conductor. Shen Anan stood in front of the two men, with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes determined, without any fear at all.
Why should I give in? She just won't let!
After a while, Zeng Qingqing came back with the conductor. The conductor listened to Shen Anan's narration, looked at the standing tickets of the two men, and immediately understood the situation.
"Comrade, these are other people's seats, please leave immediately." The conductor's voice was loud and his attitude was firm.
When the two men saw the conductor coming, they knew they couldn't take advantage today, so they stood up angrily, muttering, "Really, two women, so serious."
The train finally swayed into the Guangcheng platform. Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing carried their luggage and squeezed out of the train with the crowd. But Shen Anan was careful, she found that the two men who occupied the seats also got off the bus and followed them.
Shen Anan's heart tightened, and she felt that something was wrong. She said to Zeng Qingqing, "Qingqing, let's not stop, just get on the bus."
Although Zeng Qingqing didn't understand what was going on, she knew that Shen Anan must have her reasons, so the two of them quickened their pace, crossed the platform, and jumped on a bus that had just arrived at the station.
There were not many people on the bus. Shen Anan pulled Zeng Qingqing to sit in the middle of the car. She looked back through the window to confirm whether the two men were still following.
Sure enough, the two men also jumped on the bus, looking around for Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing.
Shen Anan had an idea in mind, and she said to Zeng Qingqing: "Let's get off the bus early and then transfer to another bus."
The bus was swaying as it drove, and Shen Anan took Zeng Qingqing off at a stop in Tianhe. Without stopping for long, they jumped on another bus and made a long circle, finally getting rid of the two men.
Zeng Qingqing was relieved, and she asked Shen Anan: "Anan, why did those two people follow us all the time?"
Shen Anan shook her head: "I don't know either. Maybe the argument in the car made them hold a grudge. In any case, as long as we are safe, it's good."
The two found a guesthouse in the city that looked clean and affordable and checked in. Shen Anan carefully checked the doors and windows of the room and confirmed that they were all closed, and then she felt relieved.
Zeng Qingqing sat by the bed and said with emotion: "An An, thanks to you today, otherwise we might be in trouble."
"We are lucky to be able to get rid of them. Let's have a good rest first. I see there is a place to take a shower in this guesthouse. Let's take a shower and rest early."
Shen Anan put down the luggage.
The two of them stayed in a standard room, the environment was pretty good, and there was even a private bathroom for taking a shower.
This environment made Zeng Qingqing a little worried, "An An, this guesthouse is not cheap, right?"
She did have some money on hand. Although she had sent part of the money back to herself and Lao Xu's parents in the past few years, she still saved some of it.
But that was the money I saved with great difficulty, and now I am taking it out only for the purpose of doing business. I dare not spend it recklessly just for enjoyment.
Shen Anan smiled.
"You don't have to worry about that. The price is not expensive. It's only ten dollars a night. It's a friendly price."
The reason why she chose this guesthouse was because Xie Shiqi mentioned it to her.
Xie Shiqi did business in the south. Although he didn't open a guesthouse, he had a friend who did, and he invested some money in it, just like investing in a branch of her restaurant. Part of this guesthouse also belonged to Xie Shiqi.
Xie Shiqi had told her before that if she went to Guangcheng, she could go directly to Tianhe to find this guesthouse and mention his name to get a cheap room.
However, Shen Anan herself did not expect it to be so cheap, and she probably got a discount.
“It’s quite a bargain!”
Zeng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. Ten yuan a night, two people split the bill only to pay five yuan a night. Although it still hurt a little, this was Guangcheng after all, in the city, not the suburbs. To be able to live in such an environment at this price was like a dream.
I went to take a shower feeling contented. I had been carsick and sweating all the way, and felt very uncomfortable all over.
While Zeng Qingqing was taking a shower, Shen Anan wandered downstairs to find the front desk and asked her if there was any fabric market nearby.
The girl at the front desk was kind-hearted. When Shen Anan asked, she started talking: "Yes, yes, we have a large wholesale market here, with a wide variety of fabrics and reasonable prices. It's not far from our guesthouse. It takes less than an hour to get there by bus."
After hearing this, Shen Anan felt more at ease and thanked him repeatedly: “That’s great, we plan to go and see it tomorrow.”
Just when the two were chatting enthusiastically, the door creaked open and an older woman walked in. Shen Anan looked up and felt that this elder sister looked familiar. Then she thought, isn't this the elder sister she had met in Hecheng when the train broke the tracks? She walked forward curiously and said, "Sister, you are in Guangcheng too? What a coincidence."
The eldest sister was also stunned when she saw Shen Anan, and then she recognized her: "Oh, isn't this Anan? It's fate that we meet again. I came here to help my relatives with wholesale this time, and I plan to ship the fabrics back to Hecheng."
After hearing this, Shen Anan thought it was a coincidence: "Sister, are you familiar with the fabric market? We are planning to go to the market tomorrow to have a look."
The elder sister laughed heartily: "Yes, I know it very well. I have been here several times and I know the market over there very well."
After hearing this, Shen Anan's eyes lit up: "That's great, big sister, can you take us with you tomorrow? We are unfamiliar with the place, it will be much more convenient with you leading the way."
When the eldest sister learned that Shen Anan was not planning to go to Hecheng to do fabric business, it was not considered competition, so she nodded and agreed.
"Okay, no problem. I'm going to the market tomorrow too, so let's go together and have someone to keep us company on the way."
Seeing that her elder sister agreed, Shen Anan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much, sister. I will come to see you tomorrow morning!"
It is much better to have someone lead you than to wander around aimlessly. She really didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence that she would meet her elder sister here.
After returning to the room, Zeng Qingqing had just finished washing her hair and taking a shower.
Shen Anan took this opportunity to tell her about meeting an acquaintance.
Zeng Qingqing's eyes almost popped out when she learned that in just a short while, Shen Anan had already found out about the fabric market, and even had an acquaintance to lead the way tomorrow.
No...didn’t I just take a shower? How come An An managed to get everything done?
